The Little Lucky Girl

"Oh, yes," Ming Youyou then remembered that to go to Daqingshan, one had to go through Hongling. Their courtyard in Xiaguan Village was the closest, so Zhang Dalang and the people from the yamen would stay there tonight and set off quietly before dawn the next day.

The yamen sent a total of five people, including Feng Liang.

Originally, he was not among the candidates chosen by County Magistrate Tao. After all, he had just returned from the grassland after experiencing life and death, and it would be unfair to send him out again.

But Feng Liang volunteered to participate, and when Magistrate Tao saw that he could not be persuaded, he agreed.

Although Han Wuniang listened to her sister and rarely saw Feng Liang after she came back, the county magistrate and his wife knew that the two young people had not let go of each other.

Magistrate Tao was also worried that Feng Liang had ulterior motives, so he sent a letter to Manager Feng of the Longxi caravan, intending to test the waters.

After receiving the letter, Manager Feng was so frightened that he rushed over overnight.

He first beat his son, then took him to the county magistrate to apologize, stating that he had no intention of marrying up, and that he would take Feng Liang back and send his second son over.

Magistrate Tao observed for a long time and felt that although this family was of low birth, their family tradition and character were good. Thinking of the Fifth Lady's face which had become much thinner recently, he felt sympathy for the two young people.

So he hinted to Manager Feng that with Feng Liang's ability, if he worked hard and made some achievements, he might be able to change their family's fortune in the future...

When Manager Feng left the county magistrate's study, he was feeling dazed. He had a deep conversation with his eldest son until midnight. He hurried back as soon as the city gate opened the next day.

Since his son is doing well, as a father he cannot hold him back. Several caravan leaders who have a good relationship with him have already expressed their intention to cooperate with Dayu, so he will have to work harder when he returns.

The people of Dafeng Village sent Ming Youyou and others to the village entrance, thinking that they were doing things for their own village. They also pooled their money to buy a lot of food for the yamen runners. Each person took three lotus leaf chickens from Xiaguan Village alone.

It’s not that I don’t want to give more, but the weather is hot and I’m afraid that too much will go bad.

Ming Youyou has been intensively learning how to make several kinds of pasta that can be preserved for a long time these days. She first made stone cakes for everyone. The yamen runners said that they were delicious but too hard on the teeth and it took time to eat, which was not conducive to their journey.

She then tried to make an improved version of the sac, which was very popular. She even gave it to Captain Jin and his men in the next yard, and they roasted more than a hundred of them in one night.

Ming Youyou collapsed on a small chair in the yard and didn't even have the strength to go back home.

She was not tired. The yard was full of strong laborers, and she, the youngest one, did not need to be in charge of kneading the dough. She only needed a few times of guidance in the early stages, and everyone would learn it by themselves later.

Ming Youyou was too full. The freshly baked steamed buns were especially fragrant. There was one batch after another. As a master who gave guidance, she had to taste them every time.

In fact, if the system hadn't strongly opposed it, she would have wanted to smuggle out a few packets of instant noodles so that everyone could have some hot soup on the way, which would have been even more perfect.

The next morning, while it was still dark, Ming Youyou was awakened by the system. She yawned and stood next to Zheng Huan and the other two, forcing herself to keep her eyes open to see them off.

I don’t know how County Magistrate Tao talked to Captain Jin, but Captain Jin was willing to send everyone to pick up the person.

Feng Xu's training by Master Cao has not been in vain. His Kung Fu has improved a lot. He tilted his ear and whispered, "I said that Captain Jin would not only bring these few people in the open. Let me tell you, there are several auras hidden in the forest, and they all seem to be masters."

He closed his eyes again and listened carefully. "Hey, why do I feel like there are a few more people on the tree to the east?"

Captain Jin also turned to that side and said, "My friends have been following us for so long, it's time for us to show up and meet them."

Magistrate Tao invited masters from the imperial palace to monitor the whereabouts of Captain Jin and his men. They followed them for several months. Captain Jin had already noticed it, but he didn't seem to take it seriously.

Magistrate Tao felt that there was no need to continue, so he wrote a memorial asking the emperor to take back these experts. However, the emperor may have felt that these people were too costly and did not want to take the burden back, so he never responded.

The masters seemed to like their current life very much. None of them left on their own initiative. They still kept a close eye on Captain Jin and went to the woods to hunt some game, indirectly helping to eliminate many hidden dangers in the nearby villages.

Four masters fell from the tree. They were not wearing masks, but were covered with black scarves. One of them clasped his fists and said, "I have heard for a long time that the Xu family army has a set of swordsmanship that can defeat the enemy. Captain Jin must have learned the true skills. Today, I am honored to learn from you."

Ming Youyou and the others could feel Captain Jin's face darkening even through the masks. He seemed to be emitting a violent aura that was about to get out of control. Zheng Huan and the others were so scared that they quickly took a few steps back and blocked Ming Youyou behind them.

The sky darkened, sand and rocks flew everywhere. Ming spat out the sand that had blown into his mouth, pressed down his standing hair, and just as he was about to stand on tiptoe to take a look, he found that there was no movement in front of him.

"It's over already! It's too fast." She looked confused.

"The fight isn't over yet, they just ran into the woods to continue. The others have followed too, why don't we go and take a look too?" Feng Xu was eager to try.

Go ahead and continue eating dirt? The others ignored him and turned back.

"By the way, is the Xu family army very famous?" Ming Youyou asked curiously.

Lu Tai was the most knowledgeable about this kind of thing, and answered quickly: "The Xu family army was led by General Xu, the god of war of the Great Qi. Have you heard about the joint attack on the Great Qi by Dayu and Daliang 20 years ago? The two countries were almost fighting to the capital, but were forced back by the Xu family army."

Ming Youyou only heard about that battle occasionally, mainly because the allied forces suffered a disastrous defeat and the crown prince, now His Majesty, was sent to Qi as a hostage and endured humiliation for many years. Common people were afraid of offending the court's taboos, so they didn't dare to mention it.

But no matter what, it’s not the case that we have never heard of Xu’s army.

"Because ten years ago, the Xu family was executed by the Emperor of Qi for treason."

"Then what is the relationship between Xu's army and Captain Jin?"

Lu Tai blinked, "General Xu is Xiao Ningyi's grandfather."

Ming Youyou opened her mouth and said, "It turns out that Xiao Ningyi is also quite miserable."

She couldn't help but look at Feng Xu, "You don't have any female relatives in the palace."

Feng Xu felt uneasy when he was looked at, "What do you mean? My father is loyal to Dayu."

Zheng Huan was happy. "Don't worry. Your father's ability is not that great. He is not so powerful that he would threaten the emperor. But he should be more low-key. It would be better if Your Majesty has some evidence against him."

Feng Xu was confused, "Why did you think of saying this?"
