After arranging the tasks, several teams set off again.

Here, Bai Jin rode a horse carrying Shen Li, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said, "You look exactly like your brother Shen Xuan when you're dressed like this! I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so good!"

Shen Li proudly raised her little head and said, "My brother and I are twins, so of course we look alike! My swordsmanship was taught to me by my father! And my father, I learned it from the secret manual given by my master!"

She then asked, "Why did you say your second brother would come and destroy the things in our car?"

Bai Jin sneered and said, "My second brother, despite his young age, is incredibly sinister and ruthless! Once the killer finds out about our situation, he'll definitely pass the news back! He won't let go of any chance to let me stand out!"

Bai Jin sneered again, "It's not hard to imagine how happy and proud my mother and I would be if I volunteered to be the county magistrate in Qingshan Town!"

Shen Li asked: "So the Liu An next to you is the one who has been passing your news to them?"

Bai Jin replied, "Yes, that's why we arranged for Chen Sheng to secretly bring the grain seeds to Beijing.

We don't have to be tied down! As long as the grain is safely brought to the capital, no matter what conspiracy they have, it will be difficult to succeed.

My second brother wants to kill me so that he can take over the family power, but I won't let him do that.

This trip to Qingshan Town was part of my plan. It allowed me to stay away from the center of the family dispute while also allowing me to secretly plan my actions. He thought I was backing down, but in reality, I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to crush their plot in one fell swoop.

Shen Li nodded slightly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Then I will definitely lend you a hand this time and will never let their evil deeds succeed."

Bai Jin felt warm in his heart and looked at Shen Li gratefully: "With you here, I have a better chance of winning. Thank you, little A Li!"

Shen Li said with a smile: "In that case, our Shen family will have a big tree like you, otherwise, I will not be at ease as a fairy child!

By then, with you protecting me from the wind and rain, I can focus on tinkering with my new gadgets. Maybe I can even create some astonishing treasures, and let the Shen family's reputation spread throughout the world!"

Bai Jin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, but he also felt a little more longing and expectation for the future, and his posture as he rode forward became more determined.

Bai Jin shook his head helplessly and said lovingly, "Your little head is always thinking about tinkering with those novel things.

However, if it is really as you say, it would be a wonderful thing. However, the journey is difficult and dangerous, so you must not act rashly and must obey my arrangements in everything.

Shen Li pouted and protested dissatisfiedly: "I'm not reckless! Didn't I help a lot this time unexpectedly? You, don't treat me like a child who knows nothing."

Bai Jin laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, you are very capable. But don't forget, your identity as a fairy child is now coveted by many people. I have to ensure your safety."

Shen Li rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "Then how do you plan to ensure this? Are you going to stay by my side all the time and never leave?"

Bai Jin blushed slightly, coughed lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, kid. I will make arrangements. You just need to be obedient."

Shen Li leaned on Bai Jin's back and said softly, "Actually, I know it's not easy for you. Don't worry, I will try my best not to cause you any trouble."

Bai Jin's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Sometimes I really wonder if you are a child? Your behavior and ideas are always so strange."

Shen Li's heart tightened, but she replied calmly: "You said your second brother is only twelve, so cruel and ruthless does not seem like a child! He is so vicious at such a young age, it is really frightening."

Bai Jin said disgustedly: "You don't understand, that's because he has a mother who is very powerful and vicious!

For a concubine to be able to enter the house and become the mistress of the household, one can imagine the means she used.

In order to push her son to a high position, she did everything she could, including placing spies around me, opposing me everywhere, and even trying to kill me.

How could my second brother, who has been taught by her since childhood, have a pure and kind heart?"

Shen Li patted Bai Jin's shoulder gently and comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Their evil deeds will be punished by heaven sooner or later.

Now that we know their plot, as long as we take careful precautions, we will be able to break it."

Bai Jin nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "You are right, I will never let them succeed. It's just that I have implicated you and put you in this dangerous situation."

Shen Li smiled and said, "What are you talking about? We are partners and friends. We share happiness and difficulties together."
