After having the wound on his arm bandaged by the imperial physician who was traveling with the governor's team, Li Ziyu stood alone at the window of the post station room and looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

Her eyes were as clear and dazzling as obsidian, and beneath their seemingly calm expression, there was a hint of sharpness.

Before he left the capital, he had thought that he might be assassinated by some people, so when the governor traveled, he was allowed to bring fifty male and female slaves and fifty guards.

He had no maids to bring with him, so he followed the maximum number of people a governor could travel with, and in addition to a personal servant and a doctor, he also brought a hundred guards.

He didn't expect that someone was so afraid of him, as if they wanted him dead. In less than half a month, they sent people to assassinate him every day.

In his accompanying team, there were twenty people he had trained over the past three years. However, under the repeated attacks of the killers, he was still stabbed by a fish that escaped the net.

It seems that his journey will not be peaceful. Li Ziyu frowned. This trip is a training for him by the emperor, and also an examination of his ability.

As the target, if he could return to the capital alive, he would have completed half of the task assigned to him by Emperor Sheng An.

It was late at night and a dark cloud covered the moon.

Just when Li Ziyu was about to take a break, five elusive figures flew into the room.

Turning around and looking at the person with his face covered standing in the room, Li Ziyu's expression remained unchanged. At this moment, he didn't care whether the person in the room was an assassin or someone else.

As long as the other party doesn't move, Li Ziyu has no intention of calling for help.

One of them saw Li Ziyu looking at them so calmly, and admiration appeared in his eyes.

I thought to myself that he was worthy of being that person’s student. Not everyone could be as calm as he thought.

"Someone was worried that you might get into trouble while touring the provinces, so they sent me to bring a few people to serve you."

Li Ziyu was stunned. Even after the few people entered the house, he sensitively discovered that they had no ill will towards him, and he did not expect the ending to be like this.

"who??!"

The man smiled under his mask, but did not answer and turned away.

Li Ziyu stared at the man as he tried his best to control his balance, but he still limped slightly when he stepped over the threshold.

Thinking of a possibility, Li Ziyu narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and a look of understanding appeared on his cold face.

Looking at the four people left in the room, they had obvious muscular bodies and strong arms under their clothes. It was obvious that they were skilled in martial arts.

Li Ziyu's eyes flickered. How many secrets did that person have that he didn't know...

*Anfu, the capital city.

A white flying bird landed on the windowsill. An Xin untied the thin bamboo tube hanging on the bird's leg, pulled out the rolled letter inside, unfolded it and read it, then threw it into the candle to destroy it.

In the days that followed, An Xin either went to the Imperial College or went home to play around.

By the way, he also arranged the marriages for his beloved girls Mingyue and Dazhuang. After all, they had been with him for so many years and were not young anymore.

An Xin not only prepared a dowry for Mingyue that was no less than that of a girl from a well-off family, but also bought a small courtyard for the two of them not far from An's mansion.

Originally, An Xin wanted to return Da Zhuang and Ming Yue's indentures to them, but the two of them refused to give up their indentures and only said that they would serve An Xin for the rest of their lives in the An Mansion.

In the end, An Xin couldn't persuade the two and just said, "Whenever you want to get rid of your slavery, you can come to me anytime."

"Get up!"

Mingyue's tears flowed down her face. Dazhuang knelt beside her and Qingfeng stepped forward to help them up.

He said, "I will remember the master's kindness and serve him wholeheartedly."

After Mingyue married Dazhuang, it was no longer suitable for her to stay with Anxin as a maid.

An Xin arranged for her to be the housekeeper in the mansion.

He also ordered Qingfeng to pick out an honest and hardworking maid from the three or four maids he bought later to work in the inner courtyard.

At that time, considering that Li Ziyu and others were at home, An Xin was afraid that buying a little girl might cause trouble, so he ordered that only those little girls who looked honest should not be bought in.

And there were a few young people around twelve or thirteen who came in to do things like making tea and serving water.

For other heavier work, An Xin mostly used his daughter-in-law and mothers-in-law.

Because there were few employees in the An Mansion, when buying people, An Xin specifically instructed not to rush and to take his time choosing.

In order to prevent those with ulterior motives from planting a stake in the An Mansion, there were less than twenty or thirty servants in total, most of whom were bought by Dazhuang and Qingfeng Mingyue from other places, thus avoiding middlemen who had close ties with various families in the capital.

Help Da Zhuang and Ming Yue complete their wedding.

After An Xin came back from a stroll in the Imperial College, she saw Qing Feng helping her tidy up her room. Thinking that this girl was also nineteen years old, she smiled and asked:

"Qing'er, do you have someone you like? If so, tell me. I have prepared a dowry for you."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Qingfeng paused for a moment, then continued with her work, wiping the dressing table, "Master, don't talk nonsense, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life.

Even if the master chases me away, I will not leave you."

"Oh, when you find someone you want to marry, just tell me." An Xin lay on the couch by the window, leisurely.

Qingfeng replied smoothly: "Okay."

Thinking of Ling Yun, who always stayed by her side and cared about her, Qingfeng had no choice but to say sorry to him.

But she is a maid who only has her master in her heart, so she'd better forget about getting married.

*When An Xin came to the city gate to see him off for the third time, he had become a little numb.

Yuchi Yi and Gao Tai looked at Chen Qibao, who also came to see them off, with envy. They stared at him with jealous eyes and regretted running away from the camp in the suburbs.

Unlike him, he did not run to the An Mansion to seek shelter from his own mistress.

Although they ran back home, they were protected by their elders and were not punished by their cruel father who chased them back.

But they were just not beaten with the whips by their fathers. However, later on, the fathers who needed them to inherit their positions as generals packed them up and sent them to the border to gain experience and accumulate prestige so that the soldiers and generals would believe in them.

Do your duty as a major general.

Prove that you have the strength so that you can bring more people back alive from the cruel battlefield in future wars.

An Xin looked at the two tall and strong boys, who looked even more majestic in their military uniforms.

I waved to them sincerely and encouraged them: "Keep going, I believe in you. You will definitely shine at the border and make your own way."

Yuchi Yi looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes slightly red, but he still glanced at her: "I'll give you my good wishes."

Gao Tai, who was becoming more and more muscular like a hill, walked to An Xin like a big dog, raised his big hand and grabbed An Xin's wide sleeves.

An Xin raised his arm but failed to pat his head, so he had to settle for the next best thing and patted Gao Tai's shoulder.

“……”The student is too tall, which makes it difficult for the teacher.
