At night, the sky is dotted with stars, the moon is bright and the wind is clear.

Jindou lay on the bed, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and couldn't help missing his grandparents again.

When I was born, my grandfather observed the celestial phenomena and said that nine stars were in a row, and that I was the reincarnation of a star god in the sky, with a fate that only comes once in a thousand years. So he kept me by his side since I was a child and personally taught me medical skills, folk remedies, and divination.

Grandfather is extremely strict with Jindou, but grandmother dotes on him. Not only does she make different kinds of delicious food for him every day, but she also always protects him when he is lazy and is scolded by grandfather.

Alas! I don’t know if I can see my grandparents again in this life. Jindou thought about it for a long time and said to himself: I should go out for a walk tomorrow. After all, I haven’t had a good time exploring the capital yet.

In the yard, next to Jindou is Wei Qing's room.

On the first day that Jindou was brought to the Jinyiwei, Wei Qing arranged Jindou to live in his own yard and in the room next to his own so that he could keep track of Jindou's every move at any time.

At this time, Wei Qing had just returned to his room from the conference room.

After untying his belt, Wei Qing was about to take off his coat when he heard a knock on the door. Jindou's voice came in, "My lord, my lord!"

Wei Qing rubbed his forehead and said, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open with a bang and Jindou rushed in.

Wei Qing sat down on the chair and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jindou first looked Wei Qing over with his eyes, then he bowed and said, "Sir, I want to go out for a walk tomorrow!"

Glancing at Wei Qing, Jindou said, "This is my first time in the capital, so I want to go out and take a look."

Wei Qing glanced at Jindou, said nothing, and just nodded.

This is consent.

"Thank you, sir! I'll take my leave first!" Jindou said happily.

Seeing Jindou leave and close the door, Wei Qing pondered for a while, walked to the bed, and was about to take off his coat again when he heard another round of knocks on the door.

"Sir, sir!" Yes, it was Jindou's voice again.

Wei Qing's usually expressionless face finally showed a hint of annoyance.

"Sir, sir!" Jindou was still calling persistently outside the door.

Helplessly sitting back in his chair, Wei Qing said, "Come in!"

"Sir, I just remembered that I am penniless now, so I would like to ask you first..." Jindou spread out his palms.

Jindou felt that it was natural for Guan Weiqing to ask for money. You know, after helping the Shangshu Mansion catch the monster, the Shangshu wanted to reward Jindou with silver. However, Wei Qing declined it with a casual remark that it was natural for the Jinyiwei to handle the case.

I am not a Jinyiwei, not even a non-staff member of the Jinyiwei, so why can't I ask for money?

These days, Jindou felt extremely distressed whenever he thought of the huge amount of silver he had lost. No, he had to get it back bit by bit from Lord Wei.

It's true that I don't want to join the Jinyiwei, but I can't refuse the tips I earn.

Wei Qing looked at Jindou's outstretched palm and the self-righteous expression on his face, and felt a surge of blood in his head. It wasn't even the full moon night yet, but his head started to hurt.

The next day, at the capital market.

The streets were bustling with people and merchants.

Jindou held a string of candy balls in one hand, eating them excitedly while looking around.

Suddenly, a thin man ran over, bumped into the golden bean hard, and then ran away.

Jindou was knocked back and almost fell down. He was about to curse, but then he felt something was wrong and hurriedly reached for his waist. Sure enough, his purse was missing.

"Don't run, give me back my purse!" Jindou threw away the candy ball in his hand and quickly ran after him.

Jindou chased the man all the way to a secluded place. The thin man suddenly turned around and took out a knife from his waist.

Jindou was startled and didn't dare to chase anymore. When he didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw a tall, masked young man with a sword on his back walking on the road.

Jindou saw that this was just like the hero on TV. He was overjoyed and shouted, "Hero, help! He stole my purse!"

The young man hesitated for a moment and didn't want to get involved, but when he saw the bag thief holding a knife, he walked over anyway.

The bag thief saw the man coming over, brandishing his knife and angrily said, "Don't meddle in other people's business. My knife has no eyes!"

The man didn't say anything. He just stretched out his toes to kick up a stone on the ground, caught it in his hand, and threw it at the bag thief.

There was a loud bang, and the knife in the bag thief's hand was instantly knocked to the ground.

"What great skills!" Jindou exclaimed in surprise, clapping his hands.

The skinny thief knew that he had met a tough opponent today, so he didn't dare to fight. He threw his purse on the ground and ran away in a hurry.

Jindou picked up the purse and was about to go over to say thank you when he saw a few more masked men coming from the opposite road. They were obviously in the same group as the young man. After seeing the young man, they immediately walked over and surrounded the young man.

Seeing the group of people surrounding the young man and preparing to leave, Jindou hurried over, shouting, "Hero, wait a moment!"

Hearing Jindou's call, the young man and the others stopped and turned around.

Jindou called the man and originally wanted to say a few words of thanks. After all, he was facing a knife-wielding gangster, and the man still came to help him without hesitation. He would feel bad if he didn't say a few words of thanks.

But just as the man turned around and Jindou looked over and was about to open his mouth to thank him, he suddenly shut his mouth.

Looking carefully at the young man in front of him, Jindou became more and more shocked. Although the man was wearing a black scarf with only his eyes exposed, it was still obvious that his forehead was black and his head was covered with dark clouds. This was a very bad omen!

At this time, the people opposite saw Jindou staring at the young man with his eyes wide open and a dazed look. They were a little angry, but obviously did not want to waste time, so they turned around and left together.

Seeing them about to leave, Jindou reacted and hurriedly shouted, "Hero, wait a moment!"

Jindou walked up to the group, bowed to the young man, and told him the truth: "Knight, I see from your face that within three days, there will be a bloody disaster. Please be extremely careful in your actions these days!"

When Jindou said this, the people on the opposite side were all shocked. A large man next to the young man drew out his sword with a "swish", pointed it at Jindou, and shouted, "How dare you talk nonsense!"

Seeing this, the young man shouted in a low voice: "Don't be rude!"

Seeing the man who had drawn the sword put it back, Jindou thought of the man's kindness in helping him and finally couldn't bear it. After thinking for a while, he took out a peach charm from his pocket, handed it to the young man and said: "Knight, put this in your pocket, maybe you can avoid this disaster!"

After saying this, Jindou didn't say anything more. He bowed and said goodbye to a few people, then turned and left.

The people around the young man all looked worried. One of them asked, "Your Highness, can you believe what this man said?"

The young man didn't say anything. He looked at the thin figure walking away, then looked down at the small peach charm in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's continue with the plan!"
