Xu Di looked at Xu Zhi and noticed that his younger sister was initially a little panicked, but she quickly calmed down. He couldn't help but look at his younger sister, who had always been pampered by her family, with new respect.

Not long after, Wu Erzhu came out and said, "Young master, no, we won't tell."

Xu Di nodded and said, "He probably doesn't dare to tell. Brother Wu, how is he?"

Wu Erzhu said, "Something's not going to work out; they probably won't make it through today."

Xu Di said, "Then forget it. I'll trouble Brother Wu to see if we can find those who escaped. We need to know the exact situation of these assassins from the Duke of Ming's mansion. Otherwise, we don't know when their blades will be used against us."

Wu Erzhu said, "I'll arrange for people to go look for them right away. Several of my brothers came from the special operations battalion, so finding a couple of people in Hexi should be easy for them."

Xu Di nodded and led Xu Zhi out of the room.

Xu Di said, "The Duke of Ming's mansion is a knife in the hands of the Third Prince. It seems that they must be keeping a lot of assassins in their mansion."

Xu Zhi asked, "Brother, what should we do?"

Xu Di said, "Since they failed in Hexi, they shouldn't be coming to bother you again anytime soon. As far as I know, the Duke of Ming's mansion only recently got in touch with the Third Prince. I guess they have trained assassins specifically for the Third Prince."

Xu Zhi said, "Brother, the princes would do such a thing to fight for that position. Is that position really that good?"

Xu Di said, "That position isn't that great either. Sometimes, even if you don't fight for it, others will urge you and push you to fight for it. A hero needs three helpers. There are so many people who rely on the princes for their livelihood, so naturally they want the prince they rely on to be able to reach that position."

Xu Zhi sighed and said, "I don't know when this will end."

Xu Di said, "Once the new emperor ascends the throne, things should calm down."

Emperor Liang Cheng's son is still being raised in his own home. Not only Xu Di understands this, but Xu Zhi also knows very well that they must help this child, who is being hidden by Emperor Liang Cheng, to fight for that position. And they can only succeed, they cannot fail. Otherwise, the lives and fortunes of so many people will really be thrown into the battle for the throne among the princes.

Xu Zhi asked, "Brother, does this require a lot of money?"

Xu Di said, "Yes, it requires a lot of money. Without money, how can you get others to help you do things?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Then I want to earn lots and lots of money, brother. Whatever you want to do, just do it without worry, I will definitely..."

They make a lot of money.

Xu Di sighed and said, "Little sister, you don't have to work so hard. Really, you have your parents, brothers, and other family members with you."

Xu Zhi shook her head and said, "Brother, I can't always be protected by you. I have to grow up, I have to have my own things to do, and I have to become your help, not your burden."

Xu Di wanted to persuade her again, but Xu Zhi turned and walked towards the backyard, which made Xu Di, who had a lot to say, choke on his words and ultimately did not say them.

The homeowner arrived quickly. With Xu Di's help, Xu Zhi gave the homeowner five hundred taels of silver, which was more than enough to repair the house. The homeowner promised Xu Di not to talk nonsense and to say to anyone who asked that the fire was caused by a fire in the kitchen caused by an accident by a servant.

That afternoon, Xu Zhi, escorted by Xu Di, took Zheng Yuanyuan to Ganzhou. As for their luggage, they entrusted it to a security escort agency in Hexi City, who followed behind.

By the time they returned to Ganzhou, it was already evening. Zhang Zhaoci had received the letter early and waited anxiously at the second gate. He only breathed a sigh of relief when Xu Zhi's carriage arrived and hurried forward to receive it.

It was quite late when they arrived. After Zhang Zhaoci picked them up, he took Xu Zhi and Zheng Yuanyuan to the backyard. Li Yuexi had already arranged for the kitchen to prepare dinner. After Xu Zhi and Zheng Yuanyuan greeted everyone in the family, Zhang Zhaoci invited the two of them to have dinner first.

Having barely eaten all day, Xu Zhi relaxed once she got home and managed to eat two bowls of rice. Zheng Yuanyuan, on the other hand, was both scared and worried about her brother who had gone to Yuezhou, so she only ate a couple of bites before putting down her chopsticks.

Zhang Zhaoci sat down next to Zheng Yuanyuan, observed her complexion, then grabbed her arm, took her pulse, and said, "Yuanyuan was frightened and has a fever. I'll prescribe two doses of medicine for her to take first."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi quickly said, "Yuan Yuan doesn't seem to be in good spirits."

Zhang Zhaoci had already gone to her desk to write a prescription, saying, "It's understandable that young girls like you are startled by something like this, but don't worry, a couple of doses of medicine will do the trick."
