Yun Jing took out a golden token from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying with a wry smile:

"This is my identity token. I'm truly sorry, both of you. I had no choice but to conceal my identity."

Zhou Yimo picked up the token, walked outside the gate, and carefully identified it in the moonlight.

After Yun Jing reminded him, Zhou Yimo saw that the token was slightly similar to the one that the man in black had before, except that the patterns and words engraved on it showed Yun Jing's identity and title as a prince.

Yun Jing was indeed the third prince Mu Yunjing who was sent to the southern border!

The Southern Frontier guards the southern part of the Dayuan Kingdom.

Qiu Shui Town under Yuntai County is also under the protection of the southern border.

Xialihua Village in Qiu Shui Town is close to the endless mountains, at the end of which is the borderland.

Zhou Yimo had once described this terrain when he was copying local chronicles.

Li Qingqing had never seen a local chronicle, and she had only been in this world for less than two months.

The longest distance I have traveled is from Lihua Village to Qiu Shui Town.

She only knew that the topography of the Dayuan Kingdom was completely different from the country she had lived in before.

However, this did not affect her understanding.

From the conversation between Zhou Yimo and Yun Jing, she roughly understood part of it.

There are frontier protectorates in the four directions of the Dayuan Kingdom: east, west, south and north.

The south is rich in resources and is the primary target of competition among other countries, with wars occurring all year round.

Therefore, the Southern Protectorate was an important garrison, and for seventeen years it had been guarded by the General Zhennan.

A year ago, the General Zhennan was injured before the war, and the war in the south became tense, so the old emperor sent Mu Yunjing to the Southern Protectorate.

Traveling with him was the eldest son of General Zhennan, who had learned martial arts successfully under his master.

According to rumors, a month ago, Mu Yunjing mysteriously disappeared while chasing bandits and his whereabouts have been unknown to date.

The real reason was that the Ministry of Revenue in Kyoto refused to distribute the grain, resulting in the delay in the delivery of grain to the Southern Protectorate.

Mu Yunjing had no choice but to go to Kyoto to urge for food.

On his way back, he was plotted against by the Crown Prince, who poisoned him. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to suppress the poison with his inner strength and rushed to the Southern Protectorate for treatment.

However, he was chased all the way by the East Palace Guards sent by the prince. In desperation, he was separated from his subordinates and accidentally entered the deep mountains and forests, where he was rescued by Li Qingqing.

So, Li Qingqing had saved a prince? Could it be that the medical fee had been settled?

Li Qingqing's lips curled up slightly. Zhou Yimo and Yun Jing, who were in the room, could feel her happy mood even though they couldn't see her facial expression clearly.

Zhou Yimo: I didn't expect my wife could detoxify poison? My wife is truly omnipotent. I really admire her!

Yun Jing: I am talking to you heart to heart about such an important and serious matter, please don't mention the medical fee.

Zhou Yimo looked at the tokens for a long time before handing both tokens to Mu Yunjing, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He glanced at Li Qingqing. It was dark in the room and he couldn't see her expression clearly.

Li Qingqing had obviously thought of something, and she asked, "Zhou Yimo, if we can get Yun Jing a new ivory plate at the government office, will it be difficult?"

Zhou Yimo pondered for a moment and said:

"My cousin has actually been missing for a year and is in grave danger. If Brother Yun were to assume his identity, it wouldn't be difficult. Furthermore, I know the clerk personally, so he should be able to make some concessions."

"Okay, then let's ask the village chief to issue a certificate, and we will go to the town tomorrow." Li Qingqing said.

In a few days, Mu Yunjing will definitely return to the southern border.

His identity is very sensitive, and having another ID can at least provide him with an extra layer of protection.

This guy is a good person. She doesn't want the prince to kill him right after she heals him.

Moreover, I can take this opportunity to give Xier a fake identity to avoid questioning.

Or, it will attract the killer.

Although there are killers coming to her house, she can take the opportunity to make some extra money.

But what if she goes out for something and the killer comes to her house, and there is no one in the family who can fight him, wouldn’t that be a big trouble?

And there is a difference between killers.

If you follow a more powerful and domineering boss, you will be very rich, like the prince.

As for the group of thugs who captured Xier last time, no one knew who they belonged to. They were so poor that they only had a few copper coins in their pockets.

There's no point in fighting without money, right?

Li Qingqing yawned. She had been busy for so long and felt a little tired.

Originally, today was the day I had an appointment with Doctor Gu to get the silver needles.

But those unscrupulous killers in black actually chopped down the bamboo gate she had worked so hard to build!

As a result, she had to rebuild it again today.

If someone saw the split gate, they would inevitably arouse suspicion, so it had to be repaired as soon as possible.

The remaining bamboo pieces at home were not enough to piece together a complete courtyard gate, so we had to go to the mountains to cut more.

What about the vegetable seeds in the back garden? I’ve been watering them these days, but not a single seedling has sprouted?

What I sowed was three hundred coins, at least give me some hope!

Hey, there’s always something to do every day.

Seeing that Li Qingqing was feeling sleepy, Zhou Yimo nodded and said, "That's just right. I'm almost done copying my books and can hand them back to the academy tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm sleepy. I'll go to bed first." Li Qingqing yawned again, and after saying this, she went straight back to her room.

Yun Jing: ...

Miss Li, don’t you want to ask anything else?

For example, the identity of the leading man in black? Or...

Li Qingqing: No, the more you know, the more trouble you’ll have. She still wants to live her pastoral life!

When Zhou Yimo saw Li Qingqing return to the room, he looked at Mu Yunjing and said:

"Brother Yunjing, I will go to Qiushui Town tomorrow to get the ivory licenses for you and Xier. If anyone comes to question us, we will be able to handle it easily."

Mu Yunjing: "Okay!"

The current situation is dangerous, and it would indeed be much more convenient to travel with a different identity.

In the early morning, Li Qingqing got up a little half an hour late.

I had a very comfortable sleep and woke up feeling refreshed in the morning.

Overnight, he earned more than two thousand taels of silver for free. How much prey must he have caught?

This is definitely a way to get rich overnight!

More importantly, the money had passed through Zhou Yimo's hands openly, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

However, the family needs to find a visible business as soon as possible to avoid the villagers making assumptions when they see that the Zhou family only spends money but does nothing.

After breakfast, Li Qingqing went to the bamboo forest to cut some more bamboo and spent another two hours to repair the gate.

This time, Li Qingqing made the gate of the courtyard more sturdy.

Zhou Yimo got up normally as usual.

As soon as it was light, he used a hoe to shovel away the blood-stained topsoil in the yard.

I went to the place where the body was placed last night and looked there. It was still the same as last time, with no trace of anything, as if what happened last night had never happened at all.

However, Zhou Yimo has figured it out now.

Regardless of whether the wife is a monster or not, she is still his wife and is good to the Zhou family.

Zhou Yimo continued copying the remaining books in his hand and finally finished copying them before lunch.

He has made preparations to intensify his review and embark on the road to scientific examinations!

My wife is so outstanding. If I don’t work hard, how can I be worthy of her?

He needs to grow up quickly.

Even if I can't protect my wife from the wind and rain, I will be the one who walks shoulder to shoulder with her!
