Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

With strength in numbers, an acre of rice was harvested quickly. After weighing, the result was better than expected, more than twice to three times the yield of ordinary rice.

The emperor immediately ordered people to harvest the remaining rice and dispose of it properly.

Afterwards, Mu Xi took the emperor to see other grains in the farm, including improved corn, sweet potatoes, and some rare fruits.

The eyes of the princes following behind flashed with brilliance. Thinking that the two legitimate daughters of the Lin family would be entering the palace for selection next year, they started to think of other ideas.

When the emperor had finished touring Zhuangzi, it was time for dinner.

Mu Xi arranged a table of dishes that were relatively novel for the emperor.

Mu Xi said gently, "Your Majesty, today's food is freshly picked from the farm. It's not rare, but fresh. Please try it, Your Majesty and the princes."

The emperor and the princes were very happy eating the fresh food, especially the younger princes, who asked questions about each dish out of curiosity.

After eating and drinking!

The emperor looked at Lin Ruhai, Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu in a good mood.

He asked, "Muxi girl, you have made great contributions in cultivating rice this time. I wonder what reward you want?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xi replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is what I should do. I don't need any reward. I just hope that under your protection, the people can have rice every day soon."

The emperor smiled upon hearing this and said in a casual tone, "How about I find you a suitable husband?"

When Mu Xi heard this, she muttered to herself that the emperor was going to match people up again.

When the princes heard this, their eyes sparkled and their minds became active.

Prince: This Miss Lin is really pretty. If she becomes my concubine, she will definitely be a great help to me...

Fourth Prince: Miss Lin must not be allowed to enter the residences of other princes.

Fifth Prince: If Miss Lin becomes my concubine, will I have delicious food every day?

Eighth Prince: If I marry Miss Lin, will the chances of me being responsible for promoting grain varieties fall on me more likely?

......

Several brothers were calculating with their abacus!

Mu Xi smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, I want a husband who can marry into my family."

Lin Ruhai also said, "My humble family has few descendants, and only two legitimate daughters! And my humble family is not in good health, so I can only think..."

Then Lin Ruhai said with tears in his eyes that the Lin family was about to be extinct and he hoped to keep his daughter. His words implied that she should not enter the backyard of the palace.

The emperor and the princes were stunned when they heard this.

In the end, for some unknown reason, the emperor agreed on the spot that Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu did not have to participate in the selection, were free to marry, and even conferred the title of county lord on them.

Afterwards, the group of people returned in a mighty procession.

"Oh!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

Suddenly a group of assassins rushed over.

"Dog Emperor! Take your life!"

The assassin yelled.

The guards and assassins fought fiercely.

Mu Xi looked at the endless stream of assassins with a serious expression. How come so many assassins suddenly appeared? Who leaked the emperor's whereabouts?

Several princes took out their swords and stood in front of the emperor.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said worriedly, "Father, I will definitely protect you."

Upon hearing this, the other princes also expressed their concern.

The emperor was moved when he saw that his son was always concerned about his safety when he was in trouble.

But some of the guards were unable to cope with the constant stream of assassins, and more than half of the guards were knocked unconscious at some point.

Mu Xi also frowned and protected Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai.

Finally, Mu Xi directly joined the battle. Several princes accidentally saw Mu Xi holding a long whip in her hand and beating the assassin back repeatedly. They were all stunned.

All I thought in my heart was that it was fortunate that the emperor did not let the girl from the Lin family into his backyard. With that kind of force, I really couldn't resist it.

Time passed little by little, reinforcements were about to arrive, and the assassin became more and more anxious.

"Shh!"

Several sharp arrows flew quickly towards the emperor.

At this time, the guards around the emperor had been entangled by the assassin.

"Father Emperor, be careful!"

When the brothers saw this, they shouted out.

Lin Ruhai was now very close to the emperor. He rushed forward and blocked the emperor with his body.

Mu Xi's face changed suddenly when she saw this. A whip appeared in front of Lin Ruhai in an unscientific trajectory, blocking the arrow that was flying towards her.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

At this time, Huan's army arrived and the situation changed immediately. Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin retreated immediately.

After the assassin was repelled, several princes immediately stepped forward to show concern for the emperor.

The emperor said calmly, "I am fine. This time, it is all thanks to Lord Lin and Miss Mu Xi. Now let's hurry back to the palace."

Afterwards, the group of people returned in a mighty procession.

The assassin was also captured and interrogated.

After the emperor returned, he only rewarded the Lin family with some gold, silver and jewelry, and left after staying in Yangzhou for a few days.

Lin Ruhai also began to hand over his official duties, and the Lin family also began to pack up their things. It would not be long before the whole family would move to Jinling.

Mu Xi let Lin Zilan take charge of the whole process, while he himself seized the time to practice. His current cultivation level has broken through the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage.

That night, a cold wind blew, and Fairy Jinghuan appeared in Mu Xi's boudoir again.

When Mu Xi saw the person coming, her face became serious and she asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Jing Huan did not reply, but looked at Mu Xi with cold eyes.

After thinking for a while, Mu Xi immediately climbed over the wall and flew to the suburbs.

Then, Fairy Jinghuan also followed him out.

"Mu Xi, stop. I am here to take your life today."

Fairy Jinghuan said as she chased.

After Mu Xi escaped to a deserted place, she started fighting with Fairy Jinghuan.

While fighting, he was thinking that the clone that came this time had a much higher cultivation level and was almost at the Golden Core level.

After several rounds, Mu Xi fell into a disadvantage and had several scars on his body.

Just when Jing Huan was about to kill Mu Xi, a bolt of lightning struck down. The fairy Jing Huan was hit and spat out a mouthful of blood.

When Mu Xi saw this scene, her eyes lit up. It turned out that the lightning-inducing talismans could also be used against Fairy Jinghuan. She immediately took out a few of them and threw them at Fairy Jinghuan.

After being struck by lightning several times, Jinghuan ran away quickly with a reluctant heart.

Mu Xi saw that it was almost time and she had other things to do, so she did not chase after him and hurried back to the Lin Mansion.
