Chapter 212 This is what my master gave me
Xie Jingci's expression froze slightly, but he quickly reacted.
He looked calm and walked towards the room with Lu Wanyin: "How was your harvest today?"
Lu Wanyin's attention was instantly diverted: "I forgot to tell you, I brought back more than ten... no, more than twenty women. From now on, some of the lighter chores can be handed over to them."
Lu Wanyin said this and reached out to touch the teacup.
As soon as he raised his hand, Xie Jingci handed it to him.
She was very thirsty, so she took it and drank it all.
After taking a breath, she continued to talk about her arrangements.
"Tomorrow morning, arrange for someone to invite the owner of the tailor shop over. I think there should be several skilled ones among them, and they will definitely be able to learn better than Xuanyi."
Xie Jingci leaned against the edge of the table, listening to her with a smile on his face.
Finally, he nodded: "Madam, the arrangement is very good."
Lu Wanyin continued, "Pick out some more dishes to learn how to cook. We may not be able to get used to the wild dishes. Besides, when there are more people, even Xuan Yi can't cook them all even if he swings his spoon until it smokes."
Xie Jingci continued to agree: "Madam, what you said makes sense."
"...Also, since I want to learn tailoring, I can't just use the cloth I bought from the clothing store for practice. It's a bit of a waste."
"I see there are a few cloth shops in the city. Let's buy some more cloth. It's cold out there in the wilderness, and we can't have a hundred thousand soldiers all wearing winter clothing."
Even if she wanted to, she couldn't afford it.
Xie Jingci continued to nod, "Exactly."
…
Lu Wanyin said a lot of things, and Xie Jingci just nodded and praised her.
She pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "You only know how to follow my lead. Do you think that everything I say is right?"
Xie Jingci gently stroked the top of her head and said, "Of course, I should be more obedient to Madam on weekdays, lest she gets angry and refuses to pay attention to me again."
Lu Wanyin was dissatisfied, she was such a stingy person
She asked, "When did I..." because you didn't agree with me.
etc.
It really does exist.
Lu Wanyin was both embarrassed and annoyed, and glared at Xie Jingci angrily: "You... are shameless."
Why are you making such dirty jokes for no reason?
Really!
Xie Jingci, ever since they opened up to each other that day, seemed to have turned on some yellow switch.
Xie Jingci acted as if he hadn't noticed, and rubbed her forehead affectionately: "Madam, when love is deep, how can you call it shameless?"
Lu Wanyin stood up suddenly: "I remembered something important."
Gone, but not completely gone.
She held her breath and turned her head, looking at the big hand that was holding her wrist: "Let go!"
Xie Jingci shook his head, and his hand even touched her waist.
He smiled and said, "Madam, you were just complaining that I was too accommodating to you. But after thinking it over for a while, I think this is the only case where I can disobey you."
Lu Wanyin: "..." What a master of sophistry!
The place where their skin touched became slightly hot.
Lu Wanyin placed both of her hands on Xie Jingci's chest: "My waist hurts."
Xie Jingci's eyes lit up: "I'll rub it for Madam."
Lu Wanyin's hands trembled.
It was a bad move, and it actually played into this guy's hands.
In a short while, the room was filled with spring.
The biting cold winter wind is blocked outside the window, unable to dissipate any of the beauty inside the room.
At the same time, Fanzhou City under the night sky was filled with a faint atmosphere of solemnity and murderousness.
Hou Yuanji happily took the hundred or so taels of silver he had earned for free and led his men to the government office.
Lu Wanyin entrusted this place to him to take care of. He was afraid that someone would run away, so he just lived here.
He divided his escorts into two teams and took turns to keep watch.
The people had been interrogated almost completely. Except for the two who had just been bought, there was not a single innocent person in the huge government office.
Hou Yuanji carried a table and sat directly next to the group of people in the government office, guarding them personally.
On the table was the letter that Lu Wanyin gave him as evidence.
What happened here must be reported to the capital as soon as possible. He wouldn't be able to sleep well unless he finished what Lu Wanyin had asked him to do.
Hou Yuanji picked up his brush and dipped it in ink.
"ah!"
Just as I was about to put pen to paper, a scream suddenly came from the door.
His hand trembled and the ink spilled onto the paper, spreading all over.
A group of the prefect's family members who were huddled in the corner were also awakened by the screams while they were drowsy.
Everyone looked towards the door.
Wu Fan, along with a few escorts, drew his sword and walked out: "Who is it?"
Just when everyone's attention was drawn to the shouting outside the door.
Inside the house, a servant suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Go to hell!"
The dagger, with a cold gleam, pierced Hou Yuanji's neck.
He only needed to wave his hand lightly and Hou Yuanji would die on the spot.
Then the events in Fanzhou would not spread to the capital.
call out!
Before Hou Yuanji could react, he saw a brilliant light flash before his eyes.
"ah!"
After another scream, the servant fell forward with a thump.
The moment he fell to the ground, his face turned black and he still held the dagger tightly in his hand.
But the arm holding the dagger had already turned dark blue.
In just a few breaths, the servant was no longer alive.
Hou Yuanji himself was stunned: "What's going on?"
Only then did he see clearly.
A colorful snake crawled out of the servant's sleeve.
Then, it swam slowly into the cloth bag around Hou Yuanji's waist and stopped moving.
Although the snakes nourished by the spiritual spring water do not need to hibernate, they are still much lazier than usual in this weather.
Hou Yuanji's eyes were wide open.
He looked at the servant who had been poisoned to charcoal on the ground, and then looked at the snake in the bag: "You saved me, didn't you?"
Although the snake in the bag did not respond, Hou Yuanji was extremely certain.
He suddenly remembered what Lu Wanyin had said not long ago.
"Take it with you. I guess you'll need it soon."
She is indeed a goddess, and she even has the ability to predict the future.
Hou Yuanji held the cloth bag in both hands, his eyes full of piety and awe.
This is not a simple snake.
This is the patron saint bestowed by the goddess!
Wu Fan heard some noise in the house at the door, and when he came in to take a look, he was also startled.
After confirming that Hou Yuanji was alright, Wu Fan shouted, "Keep an eye on these people. If anyone shows up, just kill them!"
"yes."
Hou Yuanji carefully put the cloth bag back.
All the escorts came in, but the fighting outside had not stopped yet.
He looked at Wu Fan suspiciously: "Who's still outside?"
"Black Jade."
Wu Fan lowered his voice and whispered to him, "Both of his pets are here, so there must be no danger outside."
"really"
Hou Yuanji's eyes lit up and he ran out like the wind.
The two men in black were frightened by Mo Yu and jumped onto the roof to escape.
Unfortunately, just as he reached the top of the wall, beauty swooped down.
With a grab of its claws, it picked up a person without slowing down.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to another person and blew the person away with one wing.
Bang.
The man crashed into a wall and was obviously dead.
Bang!
With another sound, the person on the beautiful claws was also thrown down.
The man was lying on the ground, his body motionless as if he had no bones. He was already dead.
Hou Yuanji looked at the beauty standing on the rockery, leisurely combing her feathers, and then looked at Mo Yu slowly swimming into the grass.
Sure enough, hugging the right thigh is so cool!
