You are my golden finger

After the morning exercise, Lin Xijin announced that he would return to Shiziwo in three days and asked everyone to pack up. In addition to the original staff in the mansion, Chuntao was also asked to stay temporarily, and she would go back with Ye Jinlin after Wulin Cosmetics was on track.

After breakfast, Ye Jinlin took the children to the street to buy the things they liked. Lin Xijin asked the housekeeper to go to the carriage and horse shop to buy two more carriages and horses, because this time there was an extra cook, two retired veterans, four secret guards and nine girls, and the traveling team suddenly swelled.

After clearing out the grain in the warehouse and replenishing a batch of goods to the empty warehouse and pharmacy, Lin Xijin prepared three gifts and personally went to the Anguo Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Grand Tutor's Mansion to say goodbye one by one.

Although everyone had been mentally prepared for Lin Xijin's departure, they still couldn't help feeling reluctant to let her go. They each prepared gifts in return and said goodbye reluctantly.

The setting sun welcomed Ye Jinlin and his group back home, as well as the Shangguan siblings who were eating for free. Lin Xijin simply put the dinner in the garden, set up a barbecue grill, and ate while grilling.

The family and Shangguan Rui were already used to this way of eating. Shangguan Qing had also eaten barbecue at her own restaurant, but she had never cooked it herself. She was like a curious baby, wanting to try everything. Xijia and Xinlan became her little masters, teaching her how to grill and roast! Of course, the finished product was hard to describe.

"Sister Jin, can you give me some of these seasonings? I'll take them home and bake them with my mother and grandmother."

"Of course you can. I'll pack some for you to take back later. Your brother has plenty in the restaurant. You can ask him for more later."

"My brother is so stingy that he never takes these things home."

"You didn't say you wanted it! How come I'm the one being stingy?" Shangguan Rui said angrily.

Shangguan Rui was worried about Lin Xijin's safety on the road, so he decided to send a group of bodyguards to disguise as a caravan to escort Lin Xijin back. But he agreed with Lin Xijin that when his "caravan" came back, it must be fully loaded.

Lin Xijin squinted at him and said, "You are so greedy! I will definitely fill it up for you. I went to the farm some time ago and improved the wine-making process. I made a batch of high-quality wine, which has been shipped over to the warehouse. I will give you half. The wine-scented pigs can also be slaughtered. If the restaurant wants them, send someone to contact the manager."

"Okay, okay! Of course I want it. I'll take care of everything in my restaurant."

The morning mist gradually dissipated like smoke under the reflection of the sun, and the air was filled with the fragrance of wood leaves.

A group of people filed out of the palace in cars or on horses, passed through the prosperous and bustling capital, and rushed towards the city gate.

Shangguan Rui's convoy was already waiting at the city gate, and the two sides set off immediately after they met up.

Lin Xijin didn't feel reluctant to leave, but when she looked back inadvertently, she found a tall figure standing on the high city wall.

The sunlight flowed around him, giving him a mysterious halo, warm and beautiful.

As if feeling her gaze, the man nodded slightly, as if saying goodbye to her.

"That place should be the Xu Palace of the Ninth Prince Murong Xu. The Ninth Prince's mother was very much loved by the Emperor, but she died when he was very young. He was raised by the Queen Mother and was very much loved by the Emperor and the Queen Mother. The Queen only gave birth to a daughter, and she also loved him very much."

"He is a skilled martial artist. He became famous in a single battle when he was fifteen. He now commands an army of 200,000 and is a young general guarding the northern border. The other princes regard him as a thorn in their side and want to kill him as soon as possible!"

What Shangguan Rui said during the barbecue that night echoed in Lin Xijin's ears.

Young man! It was another life experience that no one could match, enough to be recorded in the history books. But I don't know what King Xu wanted to do standing on the city wall today.

Farewell? Do you have such a big face?

Lin Xijin didn't dare to think too much.

The boy on the wall also felt helpless. Why did he come here? It was just a trivial matter to arrange a few people to protect her safety on the road. Was it necessary to come here in person? !

The sunlight in mid-April was already quite powerful, and soon the team of carriages and the dust they raised were no longer visible. The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and jumped down from the city wall. Soon, the crowd obscured his figure.

We still walked and stopped, eating, drinking and sightseeing along the way. It was just to avoid the hottest time at noon, so we got up early and stopped late.

But in order to take precautions, Lin Xijin did some homework on the route. For some sections that were more prone to ambushes, he would lead the way and use himself as bait. He would put several children, girls, and the elderly in the middle, each with a small bow and crossbow and drugs on his body to prevent any accidents.

In the first few days, everything went smoothly on the journey. Lin Xijin wondered if she was overthinking, but she did not dare to let her guard down at all.

The setting sun is as red as blood, and the weary birds return to the forest.

Because the road was difficult to travel today, we set off early at noon. As long as the team passed the col, they would reach the next resting town in half an hour. But Lin Xijin had a bad feeling in his heart and was highly alert.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard. Lin Xijin and the secret guards, who had been ready for battle, jumped off the carriage without waiting for the enemy to attack. While blocking the arrows, they rushed to the jungle where they were ambushed by the roadside. But when she arrived, she found that there were already two teams fighting.

The leader of the ambush saw Lin Xijin and said loudly: "Miss Lin, please go back to protect the convoy. We will handle this."

"Thank you! The convoy is safe for now!"

While responding, he feinted with his right hand, and two short swords appeared out of thin air, jumping into the fighting circle. With his hands raised and his swords fell, he harvested the lives of the ambushers.

In a few breaths, more than 20 ambushers were all killed, and Lin Xijin was not interested in leaving any alive. He just saw that someone from the group that helped him block the attack was injured, so he took out a few bottles of healing medicine and a few rolls of bandages and handed them to the other party.

"Excuse me, who is your master?"

"Miss Lin, please rest assured. We are just following the master's orders to escort you home. We have no ill intentions!" The other party accepted the medicine and replied, with a flash of light in his eyes. A girl like this doesn't need the master's protection. If she wasn't so young, she would be quite suitable for the master.

"Thank you!" Lin Xijin didn't ask any more questions, but she already understood in her heart.

The corpse will be dealt with by the secret guards.

Lin Xijin was afraid that the children would be frightened, so she ran to their carriage to check on them. Little did she know that the children were not only not afraid, but also eager to try. Even the youngest, Jin'an, was ready with a small wooden sword.

"Sister, let's go back and practice hard, and we will protect you next time we come out." Xihui said.

"Sister, beat the bad guys!" Jin'an waved the small wooden sword like a show-off.

"An An is awesome!" Everyone smiled in relief when they heard Lin Xijin's words.

After a brief tidying up, the convoy continued on its journey.

When the setting sun lost its last ray of light and only the clouds rising in the sky remained, the convoy arrived at the booked inn in the town.

After the group had dinner and washed up, nothing happened. Perhaps the other party thought that Lin Xijin was just a village girl and could be killed with one strike, and they never thought that there would be so many people protecting her.

Lin Xijin was not afraid. If the enemy came, he would fight back; if the water came, he would block it with earth. If it weren't for the child dragging him down, and if he had the powerful weapon of space, he would have no fear of traveling alone with a sword!

Next time I go to the capital, I'll have to wait for the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion to be robbed. Lin Xijin has never robbed the rich to help the poor, but it's not impossible for him to do so.
