The woman in black took out a bone flute from her waist and played it softly.

After a while, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a man dressed in Miao costumes came riding a horse.

When he saw the woman injured and lying on the ground, his complexion changed drastically. He got off the horse and ran beside the woman, and asked worriedly: "Amo, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you? I will never let him go." .”

Amo's face was pale and his lips were almost colorless. He leaned against the man's arms and shook his head lightly.

"Brother Ning, there is an incredible person in Muhuaguan, and the guards around him are all top experts. I originally wanted to go to the temple to find out, but I didn't want to be injured by the guards in that courtyard. It was me My skills are not as good as people's, but this matter is not that easy, I don't need your help, after I recover from my injury, I must get this debt back."

The man named Brother Ning looked at the woman with distressed eyes, quickly took out the medicine bottle from his arms, poured out two white pills, and gently delivered them to the woman's lips.

"Okay! Amo, Brother Ning agrees to everything you say, let's find a place to recuperate in the village ahead, your injury is not suitable for traveling."

The man looked at the woman with eyes full of affectionate concentration.

Zhao Jin hugged his own big pillow, and slept warmly until the sun was shining, and his stomach was growling before he woke up.

Zhao Jin sat up in a daze, his long black hair curled playfully.

He obediently let Dark Twelve dress him.Comb looks like a well-behaved plus-size doll.

It wasn't until Sun He brought the usual breakfast and Zhao Jin lowered his head to take a sip of the warm tea that he seemed to wake up and stretched a little.

With a smile, he picked up one of the chubby vegetarian buns in front of him and put it in the bowl in front of An Twelve.

"Try it, this is a mushroom-wrapped bun freshly picked by Mrs. Liu, the back chef."

With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Anshi served Zhao Jinsheng a bowl of fragrant lean meat porridge, then picked up the steamed stuffed bun, and ate it in big mouthfuls. The mouth was salty, and the taste of mushrooms was fresh and sweet.

"Good, very fresh and delicious."

Zhao Jin chuckled and began to feast on it.

The two have been together for so long, and they have formed a habit. Every morning when Zhao Jin wakes up, he wants to stay in bed for a while, but he has to do health exercises every morning, so Dark Twelve wakes him up half an hour earlier every day. , When the master is in a daze, he washes and dresses others, and after drinking a cup of tea, he is considered sober and can start a day's work.

After breakfast, Zhao Jin and An Twelve sat in the study drinking tea.

An Twelve filled the teapot with hot water, poured Zhao Jin a cup of his favorite Su Mei, added good charcoal to a small stove, lit it, put a large copper teapot on it and waited for the water to boil

.

"Master, there are still too few guards around you, why don't you send a few hidden guards here, it will make people feel at ease."

Zhao Jin helped the teacup that was still hot, and sighed softly: "The man in black yesterday was so courageous that he dared to come here without permission. I will write to An Yi and they will send a few secret agents in a while." Wei came over. The bows and crossbows made in the mansion are complete. I have asked people to bring 20 of them this time. You can see what benefits the manor has brought, so I will send out the pocket crossbows and strengthen my guard at ordinary times.

"

"Yes."

Seeing that An Shier was frowning all the time, Zhao Jin couldn't help feeling a little worried, and reached out to pat the back of his hand.

"Don't worry so much. I'm just an idle prince. I haven't offended anyone, and I don't have much power in my hands. Thinking about the man in black who broke in yesterday, he didn't even know who lived in this temple. Otherwise, I would borrow some money from him." If you have the guts, you dare not break into the courtyard of the current prince."

Although there are many guards in the palace, the martial arts of ordinary guards are much worse than those of the Jianghu people.

However, since ancient times, chivalrous use of martial arts has been banned. For martial arts people, the imperial court is also a very sensitive existence.

Those top masters, if they didn't have any blood feuds, would not be guilty of breaking into the mansion of the court officials and princes alone, killing people and stealing goods. You must know that this is a serious crime against the nine clans.

When the imperial court's army suppresses him, even if he is a master of martial arts and can take the opportunity to escape, the relatives and friends of the nine clans will suffer disaster.

So although Zhao Jin was a little startled by the man in black who broke in last night, he was not too scared.

Dark Twelve saw that Zhao Jin had been staring at the hot teacup and couldn't drink it, so he stretched out his hand to use it, and the internal force accelerated the tea in the teacup to turn quickly. After a while, he felt the temperature in his hand drop, and then put it in front of Zhao Jin again.

"But no matter what, the prince's safety is the most important thing. Before the dark guards come, let the twelve guards be by your side."

The on-duty mentioned by An Twelve is not to take care of Zhao Jin's daily life and diet as usual, but to raise seven points of mental vigilance when Zhao Jin is sleeping at night.

Zhao Jin felt a little distressed, but he knew An Shier was a stubborn character, and if he tried to dissuade him at this time, he was afraid that the other party would feel sad.

So Zhao Jin nodded following An Twelve's words, stretched out his hand to grab An Twelve's callused right hand and said with a smile: "From now on, I will leave my safety to this hero. You must protect Xiaosheng well."

An Twelve saw his master's playful appearance, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened. Although he knew that his master was only joking, Yi still nodded solemnly.

"We must fulfill our mission."

Zhao Jin really fell in love with his serious appearance, put one hand around the man's neck, and kissed the thin lips.

"Then, this knight, how will I repay you?"

"All... listen to the master." An Twelve applauded like thunder with his heart beating, and his ears were blushing little by little, but he still stretched out his strong arms to wrap around Zhao Jin's waist, preventing his master from moving around and falling. to myself.

"Hey, then I have to think about it." Zhao Jin, like a little hooligan molesting a handsome guy, sat halfway on An Twelve's lap, kissing his cheek and chin time after time: "How about that?" , I will work hard in the future, and I will pay for it."

The two of them laughed and quarreled, and there was no time to drink the tea on the table.

The two laughed for a while, Zhao Jin got up and came to the table, Shuxin sent a few secret guards here, after all, it is a long way to go to Guangdong and Guangxi, and there are a few masters by his side, which saves An Twelve from being on guard all day Too much work.

After the black incident, Lord Dong was very worried when he knew about it, and specially adjusted the accompanying guards. Zhao Jin's team was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. few.

Moreover, Zhao Jin sent the Xiuzhen Lianlu brought from Beijing to the loyal guards around him, so that they could have a guarantee during patrols, and ordered that if anyone broke into the inner courtyard without notification, the whereabouts would be Secretly, shoot directly on the spot.

Master Lu's family of ten or so members was poisoned by the man in black, but the account book in his hand played a big role. This man was full of crimes, and following the news of the account book, he arrested many evil officials. .

Mr. Wen sorted things out carefully, not only cleared the yamen, but also dealt with those villages and towns.Those who collude and do evil will be severely punished.

And the three bandits in Wendaren's province over Muhua City contacted the local garrison after getting the exact news, struck hard, went straight up the mountain, found the bandit's lair, and annihilated him in one fell swoop.

Not only captured 120 three bandits, but also rescued more than 20 kidnapped women, including a lot of gold, silver and food.This trip to suppress the bandits not only achieved merit, but also benefited from the magistrate's office and the local garrison.They all got benefits, so they were naturally very happy.

And the local people were full of joy after the suppression of the bandits, and praised them.

And Zhao Jin lived in Muhua Temple for five days. Although it will take a lot of time for the decree of Beijing to be passed down, Zhao Jin has already received the concentrated letter from the flying pigeons.

So he was more at ease and divided some of the accompanying sweet potatoes, two kinds, a small part to Mr. Wen, the magistrate.

Zhao Jin's trip this time was to promote new grains on the way to Guangdong and Guangxi, so he naturally brought experienced farmers with him, so Zhao Jin not only gave Mr. Wen sweet potatoes, but also asked the experienced farmers around him to teach Mr. Wen how to cultivate seedlings, and then planted them. Notes at the time.

After dealing with trivial matters, Zhao Jin was about to leave, but unexpectedly met the Xiao family who came to thank him.

Xiao Yuanwai is about 40 years old, and he is well maintained. Although there are some fine lines on his face, the sharp eyebrows and eyes are very smart, but he looks like a businessman.

He brought a gift outside the campus, and thanked Zhao Jin. He saw Zhao Jin's majesty, his surroundings were full of nostrils, and everyone was not an ordinary person, so he knew that Zhao Jin's status was not simple. It's not a bright future.

So he turned his eyes shrewdly, and said with deep meaning: "This young master is a good-looking talent. Since I saved the little girl, my Xiao family can't think of repaying it. It's better for our two families to marry Qin and Jin. Although the little girl is better It’s not a noble girl of any family, but she is proficient in all aspects of free music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a gentle personality, knowledgeable and reasonable, my son, what do you think?”

Hearing this, Zhao Jin coughed violently, almost spitting out the tea in his mouth, and pressed the corners of his brows with some headache.

"This Mr. Xiao is serious. The one who saved Miss Xiao was only my maidservant. Besides, marriage is even more unavoidable. Since ancient times, marriage contracts have been ordered by parents, and the words of matchmakers. Where can I be rash? I have made a private decision for life. And my family has already had a marriage contract, so there is no need to mention this matter again."

What Zhao Jin said didn't leave any room for it. Although it wouldn't embarrass the other party, but he said it clearly. Xiao Yuanwai felt a little uncomfortable on his face, and the two sides were even more embarrassed.

Zhao Jin simply gave Sun He a look, and the shrewd Sun He hurriedly stepped forward to say a few polite words, and then sent Xiao Yuanwai outside the door.

Thinking that he had enough time to stay in Muhua City, Zhao Jin was going to leave for Liangguang.

Before leaving to say goodbye, Mr. Wen favored Zhao Jin with a banquet at home. Although Zhao Jin didn't drink much, Mr. Wen was both moved and sad. He drank a lot of wine. The old man over fifty years old took Zhao Jin His hands were full of tears, as if he was saying goodbye at a long pavilion.

What Zhao Jin saw was that he was uncomfortable all over, and he could only comfort him over and over again.

After Zhao Jin left, Master Wen conscientiously pushed those sweet potato seeds to the hands of the farmers below, and personally sent small grains of Aixiang from the county government who are familiar with the dense fog, Aichun to guide how to sprout and plant, a sure guarantee As seeds, these sweet potatoes can be properly planted in the field and have their due effect.

But what Zhao Jin didn't know was that it was precisely because of this little thing he did that when the drought really came in the future, tens of thousands of people around Muhua City would be there because of it.After planting sweet potatoes and having a lot of food, they survived the crisis.
