After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

At the Pei Mansion, Wei Qing and Jindou were both in Pei Shaofeng's room. Pei Shaofeng was going to the southern border military camp tomorrow. Jindou felt very sad at the thought of separation.

These past few days, except for going back to the Jinyiwei office to sleep at night, Jindou stayed in the general's mansion all the time, as if he had already regarded it as his own home.

"Jindou, if you can't bear to leave me, then come with me to southern Xinjiang!" Pei Shaofeng looked at Jindou and said jokingly.

"General Pei, I'm a villain..." Before Jindou could finish his words, Pei Shaofeng waved his hand and stopped him, saying, "From now on, don't be a villain in front of this general!"

After thinking for a while, Pei Shaofeng suddenly said, "I think the three of us should become sworn brothers!"

"Sworn brotherhood?" Wei Qing was stunned. Jindou beside him was already clapping his hands and shouting, "Great, great!"

Tsk tsk, if I become sworn brothers with these two, I can walk around freely in this dynasty. When Jindou thought of this, he was filled with joy and agreed with both hands.

"Okay!" Seeing Jindou so happy, Wei Qing smiled and nodded in agreement.

Pei Shaofeng immediately asked the housekeeper Qiao to bring incense, candles and other necessary items.

The three of them arrived in the courtyard. Pei Shaofeng lit some incense and candles and asked Jindou, "Jindou, how old are you this year?"

"Nineteen," Jindou replied quickly.

"Nineteen?" Pei Shaofeng and Wei Qing were both stunned. Seeing Jindou's thin and small appearance, they both thought that Jindou was only sixteen or seventeen.

"Okay, then I'll be the eldest brother, Wei Qing will be the second, and you'll be the third brother!" Pei Shaofeng said generously.

After pouring some wine into the bowl, Pei Shaofeng then pricked his finger with the tip of the sword and dripped blood into the wine. Wei Qing then did the same. Then it was Jindou's turn. Jindou gritted his teeth and followed suit, pricked his finger and dripped blood into the bowl.

Pei Shaofeng divided the wine in the bowl into three portions. The three of them raised their bowls together and swore an oath: "Today, the three of us swear an oath of blood and become brothers of different surnames. We promise to share happiness and hardship together. We do not ask to be born on the same day, but we ask to die on the same day!"

After the brotherhood was completed, Jindou immediately excitedly called out to Pei Shaofeng: "Brother!"

"Yeah," Pei Shaofeng agreed readily.

Jindou turned to Wei Qing and called out, "Second brother!"

Wei Qing felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and just smiled and nodded.

"Second brother, you are the boss in Jinyiwei, so will I be the second in command in the future?" Jindou asked quickly.

Wei Qing just felt a slight headache and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Pei Shaofeng next to him took over the conversation: "Second brother, from now on, Third Brother will be handed over to you. I tell you, Third Brother is my savior. If Third Brother makes any mistakes in the future, I will hold you responsible!"

When Wei Qing heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, big brother!"

Early in the morning, in the Jinyiwei office, Wei Qing practiced sword skills in the training ground. Just as he walked back to his yard, he saw Jindou rushing out of the room.

When the two met, Wei Qing was startled by the dark circles under Jindou's eyes. Just as he was about to ask, Jindou grabbed his arm and said, "Second brother, hurry up. Didn't we agree to see eldest brother off today?"

Wei Qing was startled and quickly broke free from Jindou's hand. As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, if his subordinates saw him pulling a man, where would his dignity be in the future?

Jindou didn't pay attention to Wei Qing's actions, but just walked hurriedly in front. She had been in a state of alternating between excitement and heartbreak last night, and had hardly slept all night. Finally, she succeeded in getting two big dark circles under her eyes.

When they arrived at the government office, Wei Qing jumped on his horse. Jin Dou looked at the carriage nearby and said to Wei Qing, "Brother, come and take me. The carriage is too slow!"

Wei Qing was about to refuse.

"Second brother!" Jindou called out again hurriedly without waiting for him to open his mouth, and this time there was a hint of coquettishness in his voice.

Oh my god! As soon as Xie Xiaohu and several Jinyiwei walked out of the gate, they heard Jindou calling "Second Brother". Suddenly, they were struck by lightning and froze in their places.

"Second... Second brother?" Xie Xiaohu pointed at the golden bean, then at Wei Qing: "What... what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Jindou patted his chest and said, "General Pei, Lord Wei and I have become sworn brothers. From now on, Lord Wei will be my second brother!" As he said that, Jindou tilted his head upwards, looked at Wei Qing and said loudly, "Right, second brother?"

Oh, I am now someone who is protecting me. I must let others know that I have two big brothers, Jindou thought to himself.

Wei Qing was on horseback, looking at Jindou's smug look, and felt a headache. Jindou had no sense of boundaries with him to begin with, and he was afraid that Jindou would become even more arrogant in the future.

Seeing the incredulous expressions on Xie Xiaohu and several Jinyiwei's faces, Wei Qing didn't feel like explaining. He just stretched out his hand and shouted to Jindou, "Hurry up!"

"Oh, here it comes, here it comes!" Jindou said happily.

After pulling Jindou onto the horse, Wei Qing shook the reins and said, "Gee!" The two of them galloped away, leaving only Xie Xiaohu and a group of Jinyiwei lying in the wind.

When he arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, he saw Pei Shaofeng already dressed in armor and battle robes, ready.

"Brother!" Jindou and Wei Qing dismounted and shouted together.

Pei Shaofeng nodded, looked at Jindou's dark circles and smiled, "Third brother, is big brother leaving? You were so sad you couldn't sleep last night. What do you think? It's not too late for you to go with big brother now!"

Jindou felt upset and didn't answer. He just took out a paper package from his arms, opened it, and found a black pill inside.

"Brother, this is a golden pill. After eating it, you can be immune to all poisons. There is only one in the world. Eat it now," Jindou said with a nasal tone.

This golden elixir was refined by Jindou's grandfather with great effort. There is only one of it. After eating it, it cannot cure all diseases, but it can make one immune to all poisons. The grandfather specially gave this golden elixir to Jindou, and when Jindou traveled through time, he also brought this golden elixir with him.

When Pei Shaofeng heard what Jin Dou said, he knew the preciousness of this pill and shook his head, saying, "Third brother, this is too precious. Big brother can't have it."

"Brother, you are stationed in southern Xinjiang. The southern barbarians are used to using poison. If you eat it, you will never be harmed by the southern barbarians' poison again," said Jindou.

"Yes, when we became sworn brothers, we said that we would share life and death. You are in southern Xinjiang. What if you get poisoned again? What shall we do? You'd better eat it quickly," Wei Qing also advised.

"Okay then." Pei Shaofeng felt that what Wei Qing said made sense, so he took the pill from Jindou and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Second brother, I'll leave the third brother to you." Pei Shaofeng patted Wei Qing's shoulder.

"Don't worry, big brother," Wei Qing smiled and warned, "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so you must be extra careful."

Pei Shaofeng nodded and turned his gaze to Jindou again. He wanted to say goodbye and turn around to get on the horse, but after seeing Jindou's tearful eyes, he couldn't help himself and took a few steps forward and hugged Jindou.

"Thank you, Jindou," Pei Shaofeng said softly in Jindou's ear.

"Big brother" Jindou's voice was a little choked. After living together for the past few months, Jindou had already regarded Pei Shaofeng as his own relative. Now that they were about to part, he felt extremely sad for a moment.

"Alright." Pei Shaofeng, suppressing his reluctance, loosened his arms around Jindou and said with a fist: "Second brother, third brother, see you later!"

Wei Qing and Jin Dou also clasped their fists and said, "Brother, take care!"

Pei Shaofeng nodded, without hesitation, jumped on his horse, and led several members of the Pei family army to gallop away.
