Chen Xu looked up at Song Lin's uneasy expression, and seemed to understand his worries. He said softly, "If I want to go home, I will take you home with me. Just as you won't abandon me, I won't abandon you either."

When Song Lin heard her express her feelings firmly, he felt a warmth in his heart, but he also became worried. What would she do if she knew that she was the eldest daughter of the northern Xue family?

Will he help the Xue family overthrow the imperial court?

Or will he help the imperial court restore order?

Can……

"Do we have to go back to the Xue family?" he asked her gloomily.

"Well, there's still one name missing from our marriage certificate."

"Okay, I will definitely find a way to take you home."

Shen Xu looked at his serious expression, smiled sweetly, and said, "Husband, I don't want to go home for the time being. I want to stay and continue our plan. Time is running out, the gamble has begun, and there is no regret in making a move."

"Xiu Xiu, no matter where you want to go or what you want to do, your husband will support you."

Seeing that Song Lin still looked a little embarrassed, Shen Xu immediately comforted her, "Well, and I don't think I'm necessarily the eldest daughter of the Xue family. I might be an ordinary commoner like my husband, but I've loved reading since I was a child and know more. And what I said that day was just a random dream. I don't have a scar on my neck..."

Seeing her speaking cautiously, fearing that she would worry, Song Lin's amber eyes shone softly.

He was silent for a moment, then sighed, "What if it is?"

"If so, I will also find ways to stop the Xue family from overthrowing the court. Do you remember the wish we made under the osmanthus tree?"

Song Lin replied gently, "May our country be at peace, and the seas and rivers be clear."

"Well, my dear, if a wish is not put into action, it is just wishful thinking."

Shen Xu stared into his amber eyes and said seriously: "I want to realize this wish. I am willing to devote all my life's knowledge to it and do my best to turn the tide."

Song Lin suddenly felt that if his wife could do her best for her ideal, why couldn't he do his best to protect her?

He nodded, seemingly no longer confused. As long as he could be with her, he would accompany her through thick and thin.

"Okay, don't worry about these things, just worry about the things in front of you." Shen Xu interrupted his thoughts, smiled lightly and took his hand.

Song Lin hummed and said softly, "I wonder if my uncle has picked up Cheng'er."

"My uncle's martial arts are so good, he must have received it from Cheng'er." Shen Xu stuffed the token into Song Lin's hand, giving him the opportunity to go to the West Street Storytelling House mentioned by Ah Hu and find out about the Xue family's situation for her.

Song Lin carefully put away the token and asked her what to do next.

Shen Xu informed him of the next action and told him how to avoid Pei Zhiyuan and the Imperial Master's spies to contact his uncle and participate in the action.

Song Lin took note carefully.

He never doubted the feasibility of Shen Xu's plan, and every step she took was almost flawless, which made him deeply admire her.

As for her claim that she might be a commoner, he didn't believe it at all. Combining various characteristics, he was certain that she was the eldest daughter of the Xue family in the north.

When he heard her crying and telling about her childhood experiences that day, Song Lin suddenly felt very distressed and wanted to know about her past.

You must visit the Xue family in the north.

But now the two forces are fighting fiercely. No matter who wins or loses, Xiuxiu will be injured. What should we do?

After dinner, Song Lin and Shen Xu took a stroll in the backyard of Xuan Jingsi to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.

Pei Zhiyuan did not restrict their freedom nor did he send anyone to follow them.

He knew that Shen Xu and Song Lin would go to the palace to meet the Imperial Master no matter what. No matter what their purpose was, they would not run away easily.

So we just let them move freely.

He took the blueprints drawn by Shen Xu and had people make the parts for the two pieces of equipment overnight.

For several days, the sea was calm.

Shen Xu and Song Lin had already lived in Xuan Jingsi for several days, and Pei Zhiyuan even helped Song Lin with the formalities.

Now, he is also the official sword-wielding mirror user of the Xuan Jing Division.

In addition to a brand new standard-issue Xiuchun sword, the Xuan Jingsi also gave him a bright blue-gray copper token. The Taotie pattern engraved on it was rigorous in structure and exquisite in workmanship.

Since he had just joined the company and was a bronze medal mirror user, Song Lin's job was basically to guard the Xuanjing Division, receive people reporting crimes, and inspect the cells.

He had done these things before in the Langya County Government Office, so it wasn't difficult.

It’s just that this is a special period, and people are thrown into jail from time to time, so it’s quite busy sometimes.

However, the atmosphere in the prison was unusually harmonious. In the past, when he was in the Langya County government office, he only arrested bandits and evildoers, or petty thieves, and hooligans. When they saw him patrolling the prison, they would curse him with all kinds of foul language, and he was cursed about his ancestors every day.

Of course, Mr. Song is not someone to be trifled with. At most, he would curse at the newcomers, and they would soon behave themselves.

But the cells of Xuan Jing Si were extremely well-organized. When patrolling from the cell gate to the bottom of the cell, except for those who cried out for justice, all of them were cursing the lackeys and wishing them a miserable death.

Most of the time, they were still scolding Pei Zhiyuan.

"Envoy Song Jing, ignore them. They are just a bunch of grasshoppers in autumn. They won't be able to jump for a few days." Xie Jun accompanied him on patrol in the prison with a knife in his hand. Listening to the cursing in the prison, he explained with a frown.

Ever since Song Lin saved his life from the Xue family's killer that day, his attitude towards Song Lin has improved a lot.

Xie Jun introduced that these people were thrown into jail because some of their family members opposed or slandered the imperial teacher.

Since the imperial teacher did not order torture or hanging on the city wall, he was temporarily imprisoned and still had the energy to curse.

"Oh, here comes a new dog. Look at this dog. It has a cute face that looks like a human. It's a pity to let it patrol the prison!" A loud mocking voice came from the prison.

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately put their hands on the prison door and watched, not forgetting to echo, "That's right, you're going to be Pei Gou's lackey. If you look like this, it would be great to go to Xuanhe Palace and serve that old demon. Maybe if you serve him well, you can even be rewarded with the title of lackey general."

Xie Jun cursed a few words angrily and kicked them roughly through the cell door. The people in the cell had no choice but to dodge and hide where he could not reach and continued to curse.

"They cursed Pei Zhiyuan so harshly, aren't they afraid of being tortured?"

Xie Jun replied, "Master Pei doesn't have time to care about people like that. Since so many people are scolding him, he doesn't care anymore."

Song Lin curled his lips and said, "How shameless."

Xie Jun chuckled. It was obvious that he was not respectful to Pei Zhiyuan, but he also did not agree with the people in the prison scolding him.

He shouted fiercely to stop the noise in the prison and whipped the troublemakers.
