Ci Jinzhi

 Zhixian Zhu's pupils trembled the moment he heard this.

 What does Mr. He mean by this?

 Are you blatantly asking for benefits, or are you suspecting him of corruption?

If he wants to say he is not generous, will he offend others? If we say we are well off, how much is considered well off?

One hundred taels, two hundred taels, Mr. He will definitely look down on it. One thousand taels, two thousand taels... will it make Mr. He think that he is too rich, and finally someone goes in?

When Zhu Zhixian was in trouble, He Qingxiao asked politely: "Master Xin and I are in danger, and the money bag is lost. I wonder if Zhuzhi County can borrow ten taels of silver for turnover, and I will return it when we get to Baiyun County."

 “Ten taels?” Zhu Zhixian was shocked.

He Qingxiao nodded.

 Zhi Zhixian looked complicated.

There is really no need to use the word "turnover" for ten taels of silver, but it scares him to death.

 After borrowing the money, He Qingxiao left the county government office and went to visit various shops. What he wanted to buy was what Xin You needed to disguise himself. They were not expensive, but they were fragmentary. It took him more than half an hour to buy them all.

Xin You skillfully changed his appearance, put on his bamboo hat and went out.

Zhixian Zhu sent the two of them to the car, and Xin You took off his bamboo hat to thank him.

"Young Master Xin is too polite. This is what a lower official should do." Zhu Zhixian returned the courtesy respectfully, thinking that Mr. Xin is really young. It is said that Mr. Xin is probably the legitimate prince. It would be great if he could be remembered in the future. .

 When he thought about the ten taels of silver he had lent, Magistrate Zhu suddenly became discouraged.

At that time, I was afraid because of Mr. He's identity. Ten taels was too little, so I should have given him twenty taels anyway.

 Only one carriage was arranged, which was more spacious. In the carriage, He Qingxiao's eyes fell on the young man's handsome face, and he was in a trance.

 “What is Mr. He looking at?”

He Qingxiao came back to her senses and suppressed the fluctuation in her heart: "Although I have seen him many times, I still can't help but admire Xin Taizhao's skillful hands."

 The clever thing about Miss Xin's disguise is that it completely follows the facial features and does not deliberately cover up the softness of the face. This makes her look very natural in men's clothing. People will only think that she is as delicate as a little girl, but it is not surprising that a teenager is more delicate.

 Everything in the deep mountains seems to be a dream. The carriage drove him and Xin Daizhao to Baiyun County, and he woke up from his dream.

The girl named Ayou remained in the dream.

 “Congratulations, Sir.”

"Um?"

Xin You moved the corners of her lips, but she couldn't say anything that was full of words: "I'll take a nap."

If she has to reveal her identity as a daughter in the fight against the forces that killed her mother, her love for Mr. He cannot be seen by anyone, otherwise Mr. He will become her weakness. If she succeeds as "Mr. Xin" and quietly walks away to regain her freedom, she won't be able to take Lord He with her. Even if Mr. He is willing to give up his identity and power, that person will not let Mr. He escape his control. A thorough investigation will definitely reveal her existence.

Xin You slowly fell asleep, and only then did He Qingxiao dare to look at her quietly.

 The person who is asleep has his brows furrowed and seems to have infinite thoughts.

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand, rested it between her eyebrows, and finally put it down quietly.

 Three days later, the carriage arrived at Baiyun County.

"What, Mr. Xin and Mr. He?" The two pawns at the city gate were shocked when the Lingshan County arrester in charge of the **** reported the identity of the people in the car.

Their shout was heard by all the passers-by.

 “Where is Mr. Xin?”

 “That’s Mr. Xin’s carriage!”

 More and more people came to the carriage.

Xinyou lifted the corner of the car curtain and took a look outside, then quickly put it down. "so many people."

“Your story of saving Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village must have spread, and the people in Baiyun County may regard you as an immortal.” He Qingxiao speculated that the excitement outside could be felt even in the carriage.

“Everyone, please give way. Mr. Xin is feeling unwell and needs to go to the county government office to rest early.” Someone shouted, and the stopped carriage moved again.

One of the important tasks of the government these days is to find Mr. Xin and Mr. He. With the arrival of King Xiu and his entourage, they became even more concerned. As soon as there was any commotion here, someone immediately reported to the county government office.

 “Mr. Xin is back?” Zhao Zhixian ran away after receiving the news.

The people who were chasing him thought that the old man had lost a lot of weight these days and he ran really fast.

 The carriage was still some distance away from the county government office, and a group of people headed by Zhao Zhixian hurried over.

He Qingxiao got off the carriage long ago and walked beside the carriage.

Zhixian Zhao recognized He Qingxiao at a glance and handed over his hand before he even got closer: "Master He, you are back! Is Mr. Xin okay?"

 “It’s nothing serious, I just need to take good care of myself for a few days.”

 “That’s good, that’s good.” Zhao Zhixian was excited.

If something happens to these two people in his territory, it will be a big deal for him and his family. What's more, Mr. Xin got into trouble just to save the people. Even if he didn't consider anything else, he also hoped that Mr. Xin and Lord He could return safely.

The carriage drove directly into the county government office, and the people following behind gathered in front of the government office, talking lively.

Zhixian Zhao watched Xinyou get out of the car with his own eyes and gave her a deep bow.

 “Zhixian Zhao has offended me.” Xinyou returned the greeting with an arched hand.

“Young Master Xin deserves it. If Mr. Xin hadn’t warned him that day, more than two hundred villagers in Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village would have died in the flood, and even Xiaguan and others would have lost their lives..."

After entering the main hall and sitting down, He Qingxiao asked: "I wonder what will happen if we are not here during this period?"

Zhixian Zhao was about to tell the two of them: "After Mr. He and Mr. Xin disappeared, the people you brought and the people from the yamen have been looking for them. There are also the villagers and people in the city who heard about Mr. Xin's deeds. , many young people organized spontaneously to search for people..."

 After saying this, Magistrate Zhao paused and then said: "People came from the capital the day before yesterday, and the leader was His Highness King Xiu."

“His Royal Highness King Xiu?” He Qingxiao couldn’t help but glance at Xin You.

“The urgent report of your two accidents was sent to the capital. I am very worried now. His Highness King Xiu took the initiative to invite you to go south..."

 “Where is His Highness King Xiu now?”

"His Royal Highness King Xiu has led people to look for you two early. There is also a female general who is the captain of this team. She is said to be the daughter of General Bai..."

 I learned a lot about the situation here in Zhaozhi County. About an hour later, Huang Cheng, Qian Feng and others were the first to receive the news and rush back.

 “You are incompetent in your humble position, please punish me!” Huang Cheng knelt down as soon as he saw He Qingxiao.

The Sixth Master and Xiaoba were about to kneel down when they saw Qianfeng and Ping'an kneeling down first, holding daggers in their hands and begging Xinyou for death.

 The Sixth Master and Xiaoba knelt down. They originally wanted to apologize for not protecting them enough, but now they were frightened.

 The two looked at each other quietly.

 “What should I do?” Xiaoba asked with his eyes.

 The Sixth Master looked solemn.

His performance cannot be much worse than Qianfeng and the others, but he really can't do it if he wants to die. What if the young master agrees?

“Sir, you are back. I thought I would never see you again, so I was so sad that I didn’t sleep for several days!”

 The Sixth Master rushed over and hugged Xinyou's thigh to show his loyalty, but before he could touch her trouser leg, He Qingxiao kicked her away.
