Looking at his handsome face, which was conflicted, with an expression that showed he didn't know whether to agree or not, and all the emotions written on his face, Shen Yu suddenly understood why Lu Yingxing kept him by his side. Look, this kid is so interesting, and most importantly, he is pleasing to the eye!

Wu Liu didn't care whether he was interesting or not, he was just afraid that if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to complete the task, "Excuse me, Princess, can't I tell you everything?"

"Yes! As a qualified professional guard, everyone has his or her own professional ethics. Especially personal guards like you and Wu Chen, you should have your own persistence and bottom line. Only in this way can you set an example for other guards in the palace! Do you understand?"

Wu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I understand! Princess, don't worry, I will uphold my professional ethics," because I am a qualified professional guard!

Wu Chen, hiding in the dark, “…………” As expected.

Lu Yingxing saw him coming back and was troubled, so he asked, "What happened?"

Wu Chen once again fell into deep doubt. Would it really be okay for his brother to go out with the princess like this? Would they get lost together?

Although hesitant, he still said frankly, "Your Highness, I was worried just now, so I went to check on him. My brother... don't keep him... It seems that he was fooled by the princess and promised that he would not report anything today to Your Highness... So I took the initiative to send two more people to follow him from a distance." Ever since they learned these new words from the princess, they had already mastered them. They always felt bored if they didn't say a few words when encountering things.

After hearing this, Lu Yingxing smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, we'll just trick them back when the time comes."

Wu Chen: “…………” So, you two are just fooling my brother with a clear conscience?

Wu Liu, who was considered to be easy to fool, was sitting obediently on the shaft of the carriage. He followed the carriage to the familiar street corner in the west of the city and watched the princess walking alone towards the "Tongtian Tower"... He thought, he was a qualified professional guard, so he should not need to tell the princess about his identity as the owner of the tower, right?

In the room where the missions were issued, the beautiful figure in black appeared again. She threw down the jade pendant that represented her identity and spoke in the same old and low voice, "Are there any missions near Lingzhu Town recently?"

"Tongtianlou" is actually somewhat similar to the mercenary business in the black market of later generations. They are all organizations that make money by taking on missions.

But she is not short of money now, and she takes the missions just to kill time. Shen Yu enjoys the atmosphere here very much, which reminds her of her past life, or the days before she traveled through the book. Since she has to go out of the city, it would be a waste not to take the mission!

The attendant handed over the jade pendant with both hands and said respectfully, "There is a Class A mission, which specifies that a wealthy businessman must be turned into a eunuch. He was originally a murderer, and after changing his name, he married into a merchant family. He is used to having thirty masters to protect him. Recently, he came to Lingzhu Town to recuperate. The sponsor requires that he be turned into a eunuch without alerting anyone... May I ask, envoy, do you want to take it?"

Shen Yu frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's him? Not killing anyone? Just wanting to castrate him secretly?"

The attendant said, "…" He is indeed the messenger of hell, ruthless and taciturn, but his summary is brilliant! "Yes! It's confirmed, because the target has previously killed the sponsor's sister... so..."

"I'll take it!" Shen Yu couldn't help but agree before he finished listening. This kind of scumbag is indeed suitable for secret castration. Liang dared not make it public. The sponsor did a good job!

"Besides this, are there any other tasks?"

The attendant was stunned, obviously not expecting that the only female messenger of hell in the legend would suddenly become so active?

Didn't she say she was too old to retire? Out of respect for the elderly and love for the young, the attendant thought for a moment and suggested, "There is a Level E mission that is open to all members, regardless of region, and the content is simple. Would the envoy like to hear about it?"

"it is good!"

"The sponsor requires that the love story of Prince Zhuo and Princess Zhuo be promoted wherever we go, emphasizing that the princess is as beautiful as a fairy and that the prince fell in love at first sight, and that they are a match made in heaven and truly love each other! Messenger, do you want to take it?"

Shen Yu?????

"No, thank you..." Idiot!

Shen Yu turned away with a dark face. Is Lu Yingxing sick? How dare he make up a bad rumor about me!

When she returned to the carriage again, she saw Wu Liu happily eating dried fruits with Bao Er... She took a deep breath and suppressed all her anger. The dog owner's behavior should not be elevated to that of a stupid guard! ! I'm not angry! ! Ah, Ma Dan! !

Wu Liu thought it was so much fun traveling with the princess. They had food and drinks along the way, and they could get off the carriage to catch fish and shrimp when they passed by a lake. Unlike the prince, who just kept rushing and rushing.

"Try this, this is candied honey, and it tastes different from white sugar." After spending half a day together, Baoer has already regarded the guard in front of him as one of his own. It turns out that the prince also has people like him who are silly and only know how to eat and drink.

Zhan Chun was helping the princess dress up in the carriage. Zhan Xia looked at the two people sitting on the shaft of the carriage and felt speechless. If you didn't know, you would think they were taking the two children out for an autumn outing. But seeing that the princess was a little absorbed in the journey, she didn't know what to say.

Not far from the city, there is a place called Lingzhu Town. It only takes half a day to drive there from Luocheng. No matter how the city expands, the rulers seem to avoid this area intentionally or unintentionally.

More than a hundred years ago, there was nothing here except the Lingzhu Temple on the mountain. However, because the predecessor and the former abbot of the temple were both famous doctors, there were so many people who came to seek treatment. So people seeking medical treatment began to gather at the foot of the mountain. Over time, a small town was formed. People didn't know where the rumor came from, saying that this mountain range was spiritual and that sick people would recover faster if they recuperated here. Lingzhu Town became famous because of this.

Today, it has developed into a town with nearly 10,000 people, and Shouyang Village, where "Yu Ling" lives, is the village with the longest history among them.

"Hahaha, I, Yu Ling, am back!"

When everyone in the dried fruit workshop heard the familiar laughter, they put down their work and went out to greet him in surprise, "A Ling, you are finally back. Did you find the red fruit?" The speaker was Aunt Yang, the workshop manager.

Aunt Yang was also one of the families of those who sought medical treatment in the early years. Unfortunately, her husband passed away. She was a woman with two children, so she did not dare to return home alone. She had little money left, so she had to settle in Shouyang Village, the poorest village on the edge of Lingzhu Town. In the past, most of the people in the village were left with only the elderly, but since A Ling was found, more and more people have moved into the village, and their village is no longer the poorest.

A Ling not only taught the villagers to grow rice fields with higher yields, she also let them grow dried fruits which she would then recycle. She also funded a school so that children in the village could go to school and learn to read for free. The talented ones were sent to the town's academy. Her son A Dao even passed the boy's exam not long ago.

A Ling only hired villagers from the village to work in the dried fruit workshop, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. Even the lonely elderly people took on the job of drying the dried fruits, and they could make money at home. Therefore, everyone in the village was very grateful to her. A Ling is a blessing to our entire Shouyang Village.

"I found it, I found it! I also brought back some seeds and wanted to try planting them in the village, so that everyone can have another livelihood..."

Before she finished her words, a young man rushed out from inside, "Sister Ling, you're back!"

When Shen Yu saw him, he said seriously, "Jiang Cheng, why are you here? Don't you have to go to school today?"

"Haha, Sister Ling, you forgot, today is the harvest day, and school is only in session for half a day." The village school is very humane. The class start times are set according to the law of crop harvest. After all, in ancient times, a half-grown child was considered a labor force in the family. It was simply unrealistic to ask them to give up their family livelihood to go to school.

"Hey! Time flies so fast, haha...haha!" I'll go home first. I have to say that Shen Yu really forgot. In her eyes, children of this age should go to school! !

The carriage went all the way from the beginning to the end of the village. From time to time, people greeted them. They looked at the adobe houses, the saplings planted on both sides of the road, the stone benches under the trees, and the plants planted in front of every house. It seemed that everyone had implemented her plan for the village very well. Even if she left in the future, the foundation had been laid. With the candied fruit business, the villagers would no longer have to worry about their livelihood. But who to take over this business was another problem.

As she walked and thought, she saw the only two-story building in the village from a distance. There were a few children in front of the door, and they ran over when they saw her.

"Sister~~Sister~~" Shen Yu looked at them, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. He touched this one and then that one's head. Looking at the little boy who was walking at the end and always looked very mature, Shen Yu also said that he was very troubled.

The four-year-old girl named Yu Meng was the one who was most attached to her. She cried in a soft and sticky voice, "Sister, don't you want me anymore? Meng'er will be good, do you still want me? Wuuuuuuu..."

"I've already told you that I'm just going to do some work, how could she not want us?" The person who spoke was the little boy I met in the study that day, five-year-old Yu Hai.

"That's right, Meng'er, stop crying. If you keep crying, all the cakes in my carriage will be eaten up by that big guy." Bao'er has always been the leader among the children. As soon as she took out the cakes, five children immediately followed her and ran away, including the big guy named Wuliu.

Only the little boy stood there motionless, staring at her, and asked like an adult, "Where on earth have you been? You never disappear for a month. Are you...are you hurt?"
