Madam Liu saw Mu Nanjin standing among the Jinyiwei and asked with a smile, "Is she the girl who gave you such a headache?"

"That's right." Captain Liu whispered in her ear, "I was able to get promoted because of her. I'll tell you in detail when I get back."

After returning to Beijing, he has not yet gone home to tell his wife about recent events.

Mrs. Liu nodded.

Mu Nanjin noticed Mrs. Liu and walked up to them.

Captain Liu introduced her: "Mu Nanjin, this is my wife."

Mu Nanjin nodded: "Meet the Madam."

Mrs. Liu greeted with a smile: "Hello, Miss Mu."

Then, she pulled her sixteen-year-old son over and said, "This is our son, his name is Liu Qian."

Captain Liu saw that she was trying to bring them together and couldn't help but stroke his forehead.

He didn't dare to accept Mu Nanjin as his daughter-in-law, nor could he afford her.

Putting aside her ability to cause trouble, she was the object of attention of the entire imperial court, and the Liu family, who was too small to marry into the family, could not afford to marry her. Moreover, he knew very well that although his son looked like his mother and was handsome, he would not be able to catch Mu Nanjin's eye.

Liu Qian was too embarrassed to greet her: "Hello, Miss Mu."

Mu Nanjin nodded and looked at Liu Qian.

[Although his physique is not excellent, it is not a problem to become a Martial Honored One as long as he works hard, but becoming a Martial Saint is a bit difficult. ]

When Captain Liu heard that his son had the potential to become a martial arts master, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Martial Master?

Mu Nanjin said his son could become a martial arts master?

There was no Martial Master in the entire Daqian Kingdom, so could his son possibly become the first Martial Master? He was excited just thinking about it.

Mu Nanjin asked Liu Qianhu: "Your son is also a warrior, what are your plans for the future?"

"I sent him to another sect to learn martial arts before, and now that he is back, it is just right for him to join the Jinyiwei. How about this, I will put him under your name and you can take care of him."

If Mu Nanjin taught his son kung fu, he should be able to become a martial arts master soon.

"Okay." Mu Nanjin agreed readily without any hesitation, as if he was afraid that Captain Liu would go back on his word.

[From now on, if Captain Liu asks me to do this or that, I will let his son do it. Let's see if he dares to assign so many tasks to me. Hee.]

Captain Liu: “…”

This is a preparation for personal revenge.

Then he introduced his two daughters to Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin asked, "Have you let your daughter enter the Imperial College?"

Captain Liu was stunned: "No."

"I'll help them sign up tomorrow."

People from the Liu family: “…”

Mu Nanjin quietly walked to Kan Chaoyan and asked the Jinyiwei who were chatting, "Have you registered your daughter for school?"

One of the Jinyiwei said with a smile: "My family is full of boys, no girls."

"I asked my daughter about it, and she said she didn't like reading, so I had to give up."

Mu Nanjin frowned.

[We need to mention this matter to the governor, and ask him to urge everyone to send their daughters to study at the Imperial Academy.]

[As long as there are more girls who study, my family’s business will be good, hehe. ]

Jinyiwei: “…”

Doesn’t your family run a brothel?

What does it have to do with studying?

Are you trying to lead our daughter astray?

Captain Liu called everyone: "Everyone, please sit down and eat."

Mu Nanjin was a girl and was arranged to sit at the same table with Mrs. Liu and her friends.

Both Captain Liu and Mu Nanjin were promoted, and everyone was happy for them.

Of course, happy times always pass very quickly.

As it was near the end, suddenly, a thunder exploded in the sky.

"bump--"

"Wow--"

On the spot, Captain Liu's four-year-old daughter was frightened and cried.

Madam Liu hurriedly hugged her and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's just thunder, don't be afraid."

Kan Chaoyan and the others got up and walked to the window to check.

"The sky is clear today, why is there thunder out of nowhere?"

"Was that thunder just now? It was so loud, I felt like my ears were going to go deaf."

"Me too, it was like thunder exploding right next to my ears, making them buzz."

Mu Nanjin stood up and walked to Kan Chaoyan.

[The thunder just now was...]

What is it? The Jinyiwei quickly pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

Captain Liu pointed to the sky and said, "Master Kan, look, there is someone in the sky."

Everyone looked up and saw figures with only the upper bodies appearing in the sky. There were three people in total, each of them was a white-haired old man, and the figures of the three occupied most of the sky.

They appear quickly, but disappear just as quickly.

Captain Liu and his men disappeared before they could get a clear look at each other's appearance.

"Disappeared? Gone?"

"Who were those three people just now? How did they appear in the sky?"

Kan Chaoyan comforted them: "This is most likely the legendary mirage, don't worry."

A Jinyiwei asked: "What is a mirage?"

"It's just some distant scenes reflected in the sky. Of course, I've only heard of such things but never seen them. When I saw them just now, I felt that they were just like what I've heard before, so I would call them mirages. The specifics still need to be judged by the Imperial Master."

"Oh, if it's just a mirage, then we shouldn't worry about it. Let's continue drinking."

The Jinyiwei turned around and heard Mu Nanjin say, "I have something to do at home, so I won't be with you guys."

They turned to look for her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Liu Qianhu was puzzled: "Where are the people?"

Liu Qian, who had been sitting in his seat, stood up in surprise and said, "She jumped out of the window and left."

And the speed was so fast that the person disappeared in an instant.

Liu Qian was a little excited: "Dad, is Miss Mu also a warrior?"

Captain Liu said seriously, "No, she is just a weak woman who needs protection."

The Jinyiweis suppressed their laughter and nodded: "Your father is right."

"But……"

Liu Qian had just clearly seen Mu Nanjin jump out of the window and leave, and his lightness skill speed was even faster than that of a warrior like him.

"No buts." Captain Liu patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "When you follow her in the future, just remember one thing, that is, you must protect her behind you in everything, even if you can't defeat the enemy. Especially when she is held hostage, you must take it more seriously."

The Jinyiwei nodded again: "Your father is right."

Liu Qian: “…”

Madam Liu pulled Liu Qian to sit down and whispered in his ear: "Some girls don't want people to know that they practice martial arts, otherwise they will be considered rude, so they hide the fact that they practice martial arts. Do you understand?"

This makes sense.

Liu Qian nodded: "I will definitely protect Miss Mu well in the future."

Captain Liu turned around and said to everyone, "Let's continue drinking."

At the same time, Mu Nanjin returned to his room and took out a leaf from the drawer.

Then, dark clouds gathered and strong winds blew outside the yard.

The doors and windows creaked in the wind.

The leaves were flying wildly, and after a moment, a shadow came into Mu Nanjin's room through the window.

"girl."

The other party knelt in front of Mu Nanjin: "Please save me, young lady."

Mu Nanjin had expected this person to come, and looked at the woman in green clothes on the ground without any surprise: "Are you the thousand-year-old locust tree in Wansheng Garden?"

When I first saw the Great Shame Tree, I knew it would soon transform into a human form.

"Yes, my name is Huaiying. When I first saw you, I knew you were extraordinary, so I left a leaf for you so that I could find you easily when I was in trouble."

Huaiying directly stated her purpose: "I came here to ask for your help, young lady. I beg you to help me suppress the thunder."

Mu Nanjin raised his eyebrows: "Why should I help you?"

"If the girl helps me, I will be a slave for five hundred years."

Mu Nanjin was satisfied with the exchange and took out a brush and cinnabar from the drawer: "How many years do you want to suppress the thunder tribulation?"

"Five years, suppress it for five years first."

Mu Nanjin quickly took the brush and applied some cinnabar, then drew a rune on the back of Huaiying's neck, and then used magic power to inject the rune into her body.

Then, the strong wind outside stopped and the dark clouds dispersed.

Huaiying walked to the window and looked at the sky, and said happily: "It's dispersed, the dark clouds have dispersed, those people should not be able to find me here."

She turned to look at Mu Nanjin and asked, "Aren't you curious about me, girl?"

"Not curious."

Because Mu Nanjin had thoroughly investigated her affairs when she registered.

Huaiying bowed to her and said, "Thank you, young lady, for not getting to the bottom of this matter. But one day I will tell you everything. There is just one thing I don't understand."

Mu Nanjin: "What's the matter?"

"Girl, don't you need to suppress your cultivation here?"

Huaiying saw that she did not hesitate or show any worries when she helped her suppress the thunder tribulation.

"unnecessary."

"Won't anyone find out?"

"Won't."

"Why?"

"I don't know either."

Huaiying guessed that she couldn't tell her so she didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Nanjin said: "You stay in my room tonight. Tomorrow I will introduce you to the other girls and tell them that you are the bodyguard I hired. From now on, you will be their bodyguard. Wherever they go, you will go."

"yes."

Huaiying took a few steps back, and when she got close to the pillar, she disappeared into it.

Early the next morning, Si Yuhuan and the others came out of the house and saw Mu Nanjin followed by a tall woman in green. She had a dignified and pretty appearance, and just looking at her could make people feel good about her.

Mu Nanjin introduced them: "Her name is Huaiying. She is the bodyguard I hired. From now on, when you go out together, she will protect you."

Si Yuhuan and the other sisters bowed to Huaiying: "Greetings, Miss Huaiying. From now on, our safety will depend on Miss Huaiying's protection."

Huaiying smiled slightly: "No need to be polite, I just do things for people in exchange for money."

"You guys chat, I have to go on duty."

After leaving the Mu Mansion, Mu Nanjin did not go to the Duwei Mansion immediately, but went to Xiaoqing Tower to find Xu Cheng and others.

Xu Cheng and Yang Bo, who were practicing martial arts in the backyard, saw Mu Nanjin coming and hurried forward to greet her: "Hello, Miss Mu."

Mu Nanjin nodded: "I know that although you were bandits in the mountains, you have never done anything that harmed the world. The only mistake you made was kidnapping me to the mountains. Otherwise, I would not have kept you by my side. Now I have a chance for you to turn over a new leaf. Do you want it or not?"

Yang Bo said without thinking: "Yes."

Xu Cheng knew that Yang Bo was smarter and quicker-witted than him, so if Yang Bo agreed without hesitation, it must be right. He nodded and agreed: "Yes."

"You guys come with me."

Mu Nanjin brought them to the Duwei Mansion.

Xu Cheng looked at the Jinyiwei who were coming in and out of the Duwei Mansion in surprise, and whispered in Yang Bo's ear: "Isn't this where the Jinyiwei work?"

Yang Bo nodded.

Xu Cheng asked nervously, "Miss Mu, are you going to regret arresting us?"

Yang Bo rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's definitely not the case. Stop making blind guesses."

Xu Cheng felt relieved.

Mu Nanjin took Xu Cheng and the others to find Captain Liu: "Captain Liu... Captain Liu, I brought Xu Cheng and the others here."

Captain Liu, who had also brought his son to the Duwei Mansion, nodded to them and said, "Come here and sign your names. Those who can't read can put their fingerprints on them."

Yang Bo looked at the words on the white paper on his desk and asked in surprise, "You want us to join the Jinyiwei?"

Hearing this, Xu Cheng looked at them in disbelief.

Captain Liu looked at Mu Nanjin and said, "Didn't you tell them?"

Mu Nanjin said: "It's not too late to tell now."

"I knew you were unreliable." Captain Liu told them that Mu Nanjin wanted to recruit them as Jinyiwei: "Are you willing to work with Miss Mu?"

Yang Bo and Xu Cheng said in unison: "Yes."

"Then sign it."

Captain Liu pushed the paper in front of them and said, "Go get the ninth-grade Feiyu uniforms of the Jinyiwei first. I will issue you identity tokens after the governor has reviewed your affairs in two days."

Yang Bo wondered: "Don't we need the emperor's consent or decree to become ninth-rank officials?"

Captain Liu patiently explained to them: "Officials below the rank of pacification envoy are transferred with the governor, and promotion or demotion is a matter of his words. However, the list of promotions still needs to be submitted to the emperor for review and stamping. Officials above the rank of pacification envoy need the emperor's approval before they can officially take office. You must perform well, and there will be many opportunities for promotion in the future."

"yes."

Yang Bo and his companions signed their documents and went to collect their official uniforms.

"Wood……"

Captain Liu put away the paper and wanted to tell Mu Nanjin something, but she had already disappeared: "Why did this girl run so fast? Is she so afraid that I will assign her a task?"

Then, he heard Mu Nanjin's voice.

【Governor, here I come.】

Captain Liu: “…”

The governor who was working in the Wenshuyuan heard Mu Nanjin's voice, and suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to go to the palace for."

"Eh..." Before the governor could finish his words, the man disappeared.

He couldn't help laughing: "I never thought that one day you would be afraid of someone."

Not long after, Mu Nanjin came over and saw that only the governor and his assistant were in the room. He frowned and asked, "Where's the governor?"

"He has come to the palace for something. Girl Mu, what do you want from the governor?" The governor's assistant asked with a smile, "If you have any trouble, you can tell me first and I will help you solve it."

【The absence of the governor is a real bummer. 】

The governor-general: "..."

Is he so unpopular?

Mu Nanjin said: "I went to the governor to ask him to call on the Jinyiwei to send all his daughters to study in the Imperial Academy."

"Just for this matter?" The governor raised his eyebrows: "Okay, we will consider this matter. Is there anything else?"

Mu Nanjin shook his head: "I'm leaving."

She came out of the governor's office and saw a large group of Jinyiwei carrying boxes of various sizes out of the warehouse.

Where do they move all these boxes?
