Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"Master Xuanliu is back..."

Xuanyi's voice was a little conflicted.

"It's him. I haven't heard from him for a long time. How is he doing recently?"

After hearing this from Xuan Liu, Wen Shu was in a good mood. It was like someone was bringing her a pillow just when she felt sleepy.

But at this point, compared to other important matters, Wen Shu is more eager to see him.

Since Xuan Liu is here, I think there shouldn't be any major mistakes in the tasks assigned to him.

But, since it's here, it doesn't have to be so early in the morning.

"But what happened...?"

After a day's rest, Xuanyi looked completely different from when he first saw him yesterday, and his energy and spirit had returned a lot.

"Master, I don't know the specific situation, but Lao Liu said it was extremely important news and I need to report it to you in person."

Wen Shu didn't recognize Xuan Liu, but she knew where he came from.

she---

Forget it, I didn’t expect that even though it is so far away from Luoyang, I can still see its shadow.

“Where are the others…!”

Hearing the master speak, and not blaming him for his rashness, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, he is with me now. It was already midnight when he first arrived. It was only those of us who stayed in the town who recognized Lao Liu's token and identified him.

I heard he had something urgent to do, so I sent him up the mountain in the middle of the night!"

Wenshu picked up the fan on the desk, next to the paperweight, and casually finished tying the new tassel that Baoju had tied on the fan.

There was silence for a long time.

Not knowing what she was thinking, Xuan Yi was also made uneasy by the sudden silence.

……

I don’t know how long it took before I heard the crowing of a rooster outside again.

Wen Shu then looked up and said only one sentence, "You ask him to come see me now."

"As for you, the most important thing is to have a good rest and refresh yourself after you go back today. You have other plans with me, so don't go too far."

"Yes, Master!"

After saying that, Xuanyi prepared to get up and leave.

However, since Wen Shu called him to the study, she must have something important to tell him. Since Xuan Yi came this time, she was too lazy to run around.

She was too busy with the following matters, not to mention that the things she had assigned to Xuanyi could not go wrong.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Wenshu took the brush from the desk and wrote a few lines on the paper.

After the ink dried, he folded it and handed it over with both hands.

"Take this. Tomorrow afternoon, go down the mountain with this letter and find the blacksmith shop next to the largest yellow horn tree in town. Go directly to Blacksmith Zhang and give him this letter. He will naturally tell you what to do!"

Xuan Yi took the envelope, clasped his hands together and said, "Master, rest assured, Xuan will definitely fulfill your mission."

A serious look.

Wen Shu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you just managed to save your life from the dead. How can I let you go out and risk your life so soon?"

“It seems I am being too harsh.”

"You don't need to do anything else, let alone help me forge iron or sell ironware. You can just help me watch over some people. It just so happens that you are very skilled in martial arts and have those close combat skills. If you are willing, I will take this opportunity to have a good fight with your men!"

Seeing that Xuanyi did not show any impatience or unwillingness.

Wen Shu continued, "If something really happens, or if you're in a life-or-death situation, you can learn a few tricks from here and maybe even save your life!"

At first, Xuan Yi didn't understand why his master asked him to teach those methods, but when he heard that it was to find a way to save the lives of other subordinates.

They were deeply moved. From the moment they became assassins, their life and death were decided by their master. They were the master's private property. No master had ever considered the assassins.

……

"Master, Xuanyi is leaving."

He put the letter of sealing in his arms, bowed deeply to Wen Shu, and then left.

'this'

Looking at Xuan Yi's abnormal behavior, I was a little unsure of what he was thinking.

"Bring Lao Liu here, then go back and have a good rest for a few days. Although the things that follow are not life-threatening, they are still a worry."

After saying that, he let the man go.

.........

Baoju was standing guard outside. When she saw Xuanyi walk to the wall of the yard and cling to the dying tree, she jumped!

The man flew out of the yard.

Baoju looked at the loquat tree that was shaking like it was dying, stood up and looked towards the yard, but it was no trace of the tree.

He put down the mung beans in his hand and turned to walk into the study.

It was just daybreak and smoke had already started to rise from the small kitchen. Wen Shu thought that the girl had been busy all morning and must be hungry.

Although the weather is hot now, it is very cool on the mountain.

Eating hot food is just right to warm your stomach.

"Girl, are you ready for breakfast?"

Wenshu had just finished writing a letter and was about to hang it out to dry when she heard Baoju calling.

When I looked up, I saw something green in the small dustpan in her hand.

She didn't answer, but pointed at the thing in her hand and asked, "What is this..."

Baoju lowered her head and saw that the girl was curious.

When the small winnowing basket was tilted, Wenshu could just see it.

"Girl, I saw some mung beans. It's hot at noon now, and I have nothing to do, so I thought of making some cold cakes for you to cool down..."

"Cold cake..."

This was the first time Wenshu had heard of this thing.

I didn't even eat it when I was in Luoyang.

"Yes! Girl, don't underestimate the folks here. Not only is the food different from ours in Luoyang, but there are also many things we haven't seen over there."

When Baoju said this, her eyes lit up.

It can be seen that she really likes to think about these things.

"If you like to make it, just figure it out yourself. If you don't have enough money, there's some in the small box next to the makeup box. You can take it yourself!"

this---

Baoju was speechless for a moment. She didn't look for the girl for this matter, nor for money.

The girl was generous and never treated the people around her badly in terms of money or food, but she was not someone who did not know her own limits.

"Girl, this doesn't require money at all."

"Girl, your money now depends on Master Zhong. I can't let Shaoyao spend money like that. If you want to buy something for yourself, how can you live without money?"

Wen Shu just picked up the brush and couldn't put it down.

She knew Baoju was worried and felt sorry for her money.

e=(′o｀*)))Alas————

If the head of the family or the director is in charge, he must be an expert. If he knew her daughter's current financial situation, he would be very surprised.

But the time is not right now. I just looked at the contents of the dustpan in her hand and said with anticipation, "Then I will have a treat today."

"Girl, don't worry. I've been free these days, so I learned this from the wife of a famous man in this village..."

Oh!

'Daniu's Wife' She remembered that when she first entered the village, she encountered the scene where Daniu was chased by his wife across several hills.

This is what she said. When she heard the sound of the maid walking outside, she remembered what she meant. "Girl, this morning, why don't you eat some warm food? You didn't get enough rest today——"

Wenshu doesn't know anything about food. As long as it's delicious, edible, and filling, it's fine. "It's up to you."

Thinking that Xuanyi and the others would be coming later, he said, "Ask the kitchen to prepare some steamed buns, pancakes, etc. If you have eggs, cook more."

When the time comes, let Xuanyi, Laoliu and the others take some back. Although the food in the big pot is not bad, they must have lost a lot of money during the journey.
