[Manor scheming rebirth + sisters swapping marriages + native woman vs. time-traveling woman + scum revenge] Xie Zhaozhao, the eldest daughter of an illustrious family, is gentle, dignified, and ra...
His Highness is no longer the same as before; he is even more powerful than he had expected.
They refused to tell them what His Highness had experienced that year and how he regained his senses, because they did not trust His Highness.
I'm afraid His Highness doesn't trust them yet!
That night, Jiutian asked curiously, "Second Uncle, who were those people who came today? They seemed very respectful to you."
“He was my bodyguard,” Yin Jin’an said. “He used to be my bodyguard in Kyoto.”
"Isn't it good to you?"
"He seems very loyal."
Oh, so it seems that he wasn't loyal enough?
Yin Jin'an threw the three tokens they had handed over onto the table, examining them over and over. Jiu Tian got out of bed and said, "Second Uncle, the little wooden plaque you carved?"
"Okay, take it and play with it."
Yin Jin'an casually tossed it to Jiu Tian. Damn it, let alone mobilizing troops, he didn't even recognize the characters on the token.
Jiutian took the three wooden plaques and examined them for a long time. The plaques were quite thick, with raised sections on both sides and relief carvings of the characters.
Jiutian reached out and touched the embossed characters, feeling something was off.
Seeing her silently touching the relief carving, examining it back and forth, Yin Jin'an asked, "What, do you recognize these characters?"
"I don't recognize them." Jiutian shook his head, his handsome little brows furrowed as he said, "Second Uncle, I think these reliefs are abnormal."
"Yeah?"
"Hmm, there seems to be something alive inside."
Yin Jin'an was startled. This was a token; how could there be a living creature inside?
"Can we break it open? Is it dangerous?"
"Don't smash it, look to the heavens!"
She placed the three tokens on the table, lined them up in a row, and chanted the incantation: "Yin and Yang unite, water spirit manifests, spiritual light is absorbed by water, reaching heaven and earth, all laws are followed, Yin and Yang mirror, true form quickly appears, quickly manifest true form... Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"
Bring your index and middle fingers together, draw them across your forehead, and shout, "Open your third eye!"
With the opening of the Heavenly Eye, everything hidden beneath the talisman was revealed.
However, after watching for a moment, Jiutian suddenly cried out, his face turning deathly pale.
"What's wrong?" Yin Jin'an immediately picked up Jiutian, jumped several meters away, patted her back, and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't watch anymore."
He wants to return these wooden plaques to those people.
Jiutian hugged his neck and waited for a while before bursting into tears: "Second Uncle, it's full of insect eggs, sealed insects, so scary, they have eyes and mouths, it's terrifying."
"Your second uncle will burn these wooden signs later, don't be afraid!" Yin Jin'an looked at the wooden signs with disgust, wondering if fire could kill the insect eggs.
"Don't burn them. Give me these wooden plaques, and I'll help my second uncle seal them. I'll check what kind of insects they are later."
She suspected it was some kind of Gu worm. She needed to ask her master. Her second uncle was just an ordinary person and shouldn't be carrying such a thing; it was too dangerous.
"Aren't you afraid of the insect eggs inside?"
"It's fine as long as you don't open them. They're sealed with medicine, so as long as you don't open them, they'll be fine."
Yin Jin'an gave all three tokens to Jiutian and told her to keep them safe.
After sleeping for nine days, Yin Jin'an's face turned completely dark.
What is the origin of this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? Why are there three command tokens, and why are they all filled with insect eggs?
Although he wasn't afraid of insects, the thought of carrying three nests of unknown insect eggs with him was quite disgusting.
The next day at dawn, Wang Can brought Magistrate Li to see Yin Jin'an.
"Your subject Li Jixian greets Your Highness." This time, Magistrate Li was quick-witted and immediately performed the full kneeling ceremony for Yin Jin'an.
Wang Can said from the side, "Magistrate Li has sent thirty carts of grain to His Highness, all of which is this year's new grain."
Thirty carts of grain and fodder, including fifteen carts of refined grain and fifteen carts of coarse grain.
Yin Jin'an was overjoyed and politely invited him to sit down. Magistrate Li had come through wind and frost and was shivering from the cold. Yin Jin'an asked Wang Can to pour him some hot water and warm him by the fire, which helped him recover.
He didn't mention the provisions, but said anxiously, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Chu and Vice Minister Cui came secretly yesterday."
He told Yin Jin'an that they were pretending to visit the Cui family, but in reality they were inquiring about Yin Jin'an's whereabouts. He also told Yin Jin'an his suspicions—how did they arrive in Yongle County so quickly?
Wang Can was also puzzled: "The Uyghur general Jiegan has already led his army to attack the capital. As the current prime minister, shouldn't the Prime Minister of Chu be fighting alongside His Majesty to defend against the enemy? How come he has the leisure to confirm His Highness's identity?"
It's strange that the Prime Minister of Chu and Vice Minister Cui not only failed to defend against the enemy, but also went out to find Yin Jin'an!
Yin Jin'an sneered and said, "They don't care whether I live or die; they just want to take me back and kill the Uyghurs!"
It will take at least a month for the Uyghur general Jiegan's troops to reach the capital. They will bring "Xiao Jin'an" to the capital, and on the night of the full moon a month later, if "Xiao Jin'an" goes berserk, the 100,000 Uyghur troops brought by Jiegan will not return.
As for the Liao Dynasty, it's estimated they'll be able to escape back to their homeland without even needing to fight.
The "demons" of Western Xia reappear, and the nightmare of Liao Dynasty is restarted.
They came looking for that poor child who, when the army was pressing in, once again took the blame for everything for the Western Xia.
