Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

"Your Majesty said that although the man in black is invincible, he is not without weaknesses. As long as the girl named Xia Shi is attacked, she will no longer protect Lou Junze. This is our chance..."

After Chi Hao finished speaking, he frowned as he looked at the information collected on the table.

On the night when the Huai'an incident happened, everyone in the city saw it. It was no longer a secret that Lei Huo had taken action, so Chi Hao, who came from Kyoto, received extremely detailed information.

How he slapped away the most powerful guard of Huai'an Palace with one palm, how he slapped away the most powerful master around Chen Yulian with one palm, how he took down the defender in the city with one palm, how he slapped back the fleeing master with one palm, how he caught the swords and knives in the sky, and how he threw back the flying arrows with his bare hands, and crippled Chen Yulian, who was unparalleled in the martial arts world and wore heavy armor.

This is full of nonsense.

He always didn't believe these words, didn't believe there were such powerful people in the world. Even if His Majesty had believed it, he still had doubts, thinking that these were all means to confuse people and that they just wanted to use the name of the Grand Master to do things.

But is it true?

The outcome will soon become clear.

He ordered, "Everyone listen up. Three days later, assassinate Lou Junze and Xia Shi separately and simultaneously!"

"Yes!"

Lou Junze, who the hell are you? When I was a guard in the other palace, you were still eating dirt in the other palace. I have seen you at your most miserable. You are just a little boy, and I haven't seen you for several years. What abilities can you develop?

What nameless thousand households? It's just that you have a good uncle who creates momentum for you.

Now there is no one to promote you.

Playing tricks,

How long can you remain so arrogant?

……

Mr. Xiyan is such an excellent employee and a very professional person.

She had lunch and took a nap, and before an hour was up, four maids were already standing outside her door.

One changed her clothes, one combed her hair, one made tea for her, and one brought her a warm, wet towel.

I was enjoying myself while taking a nap, and in my daze I seemed to hear Xi Yan whispering in the yard:

"Be careful, all of you newcomers don't know the rules of the courtyard, so I have to give you a few pointers. First, no one is allowed to disturb the girl's rest. No one can enter the girl's room without permission. The two cooks are all in the kitchen. Except for going out to buy things, they are not allowed to leave the house. No one can go to the backyard to deliver food. After locking the door, all go back to the front yard to rest. The five maids who sweep the yard are all on their assigned roads. No one is allowed to walk around casually and are not allowed to approach the girl's main room. The winter clothes made for the girl in the embroidery room must be of all colors and styles. The gardener must be in... the stable... the gatehouse... the accounting office... the guards will take turns to stand guard for fifty days and nights."

When Xia Shi heard Xi Yan read out many names, she sobered up. When she heard him read out the gardener, she became nervous. When she heard that there were fifty people, Miss Xia had already rushed out of the door and caught Xi Yan in the yard and asked:

"How much did you cost me? Huh?"

"You bought so many people in one lunch, huh?"

"Do I need to find someone specifically to grow flowers? Huh? I don't like growing flowers. My money, ahhhhh!"

Spending her money is like spending her life!

"I just want a tailor and a cook."

"I don't want you to be my housekeeper."

Give her back her humiliation fee!

"..."

Xi Yan looked at Xia Shi, who was pale with fright, and said steadily, "Girl, don't be anxious. How much can this person cost? People are the least valuable these days."

Xia Shi swallowed his saliva and asked anxiously: "Just tell me how much it cost?"

Xi Yan: "Twenty taels!"

Xia Shi: "What?" After making sure he had said it correctly, he said: "Say it again?"

Xi Yan: "It's really twenty taels. The girl may not have been to a pawnshop. This place usually charges the most on weekdays, but when there is a war, the price is not high. After all, people are living creatures and need to eat and chew every day, and the last thing outside is refugees."

"Refugees." Xia Shi chewed on these two words.

Xi Yan continued, "Among these people, only the four maids who knew how to comb hair and embroider spent ten taels of silver, the two cooks spent five taels, the accountant spent three taels, and they bought a few feet of cloth for the girl and spent two taels. The rest were all exchanged by the little ones with ten steamed buns."

Xia Shi asked in astonishment: "Ten steamed buns for one person?"

Xi Yan: "One steamed bun for another!"

Xia Shi was completely stunned. She looked at the skinny, ragged women sweeping the floor with brooms. Her heart was in a knot and she couldn't say the words "Send it all back to me".

Xi Yan: "The guards are given by me, the carriage is also the one I have used in Xishui Village, the groom is sent by me, and the doorman is the official of the government that a second-rank official should have according to the rules. Don't feel bad, young lady, we don't spend any money."

Xi Yan: "As soon as the border was opened, many refugees poured in from Zhongzhou. They were lucky to have food to eat. Many people just wanted to survive. When they heard that our family needed people, they rushed to come. Don't worry, young lady, I am very careful. I have checked everyone. Lord Yan also helped to check it again. There will definitely not be a spy in..."

"..."

Xia Shi felt heavy-hearted. She wanted to go to Zhongzhou to have a look.

Look at how one sold his whole life for a piece of bread.

While calculating how many days of vacation time she had saved up in her mind, she went back to the house to get the first aid kit. Ever since Lei Huo went to protect the boss, she had to get the first aid kit by herself.

Today Xi Yan reached out to take it, took a half step back and followed her.

……

By the time she had cured the leader's face and changed his appearance to what he wanted, and had a heart-to-heart talk with her idol, the eleven great heroes, and made an appointment for a trip to Zhongzhou, the lights were already on.

After a quick meal outside, he rushed to the government office and walked all the way to the study inside.

Lou Junze was sitting at his desk with wet hair, drawing a detailed map of the Huai'an mine.

Apart from the dim lamp on his desk, there were expensive candles burning in the rows of jade candlesticks on both sides of the room. The room was brightly lit with a slight hint of smoke.

The dim halo danced on his mask which was covered with criss-crossing knife marks, inexplicably bringing a touch of gentleness to it, without the coldness that it had during the day.

Hearing Xia Shi coming in, he put down his pen and waved.

The guards in the room filed out one after another. Xiyan put down the medicine box, and walked out with Yiyunkai at the end and closed the door.

Only Lou Junze, her, Lei Huo and Nan Feng were left in the room.

Shadows and robots stand in the corners,

Leihuo: "Master!"

Nan Feng: "Hello, sir!"

Xia Shi raised her hand, and the man and the machine stood up. She said to Lou Junze, "Hello, boss!"

Behind people's backs, she always liked to call him boss.

Lou Junze: "Please take a seat, young lady. It's cold outside. Come and warm yourself by the fire!" When others were around, he no longer called her Lady Xia.

He took a hand warmer from the table and handed it over.

The exquisite hand warmer with brocade flower ornaments is wrapped in fiery red fox fur, and has exquisite fur balls of the same color hanging on the corners, which looks very cute.

Xia Shi exclaimed: "Boss, when did you use such a cute thing?" Can't you tell?

The taste is quite unique.

After all, apart from the prince's standard clothes, the boss's usual clothes are either blue or black, with fixed patterns, which are extremely old-fashioned and boring.

Lou Junze: "Well, it was presented to me by someone below."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had always been introverted and self-restrained, could not say that this was specially prepared by him.

Xia Shi: "Can Yun Kai do such a thing?"

Yun Kai outside the door: "..." Your Highness, what's wrong with you?
