Chapter 441 440 Meet an acquaintance again, the young boy has good character
The guards did not expect such a good thing to happen. When they heard their master report the cost of buying grain, it was several times the actual amount of money they spent on buying grain in the village that day.
I don't know whether I should be happy or ashamed that my master is cheating others of their money and giving them benefits.
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
An Xin watched with a smile and said polite words, but when he saw the eunuch taking out a large bag of silver with a painful look and giving it to the five hundred guards, he had no intention of stopping it.
The eunuch rolled his eyes secretly: "..." So you are this kind of envoy.
Jiang Xuan and Leng Xiangbai saw that An Xin was like a cat that had stolen some fish, they were secretly proud of themselves, pursing their lips happily, and both of them raised the corners of their lips at the same time to reveal a subtle smile.
General Chen and General Gao brought their men to pack up the daily necessities they had used for camping here for the past few days.
"Old Chen, how did the headmaster know that someone would invite us into the city for a drink and a meal in three days at most?"
General Chen looked at where An Xin was, and smiled lightly at the calm expression on her face. She no longer looked like a rogue when she had taken advantage of the guards before.
It was clearly she who paid for the one thousand taels of silver to buy the grain.
However, she managed to extort five thousand taels of silver from the eunuchs of Bei Ming, giving ten taels of silver to each person, and distributed them to the guards as welfare.
General Chen gained a new understanding of An Xin's character of not willing to suffer any loss.
Just look at the Lindu City Lord Liao Angkuo who is still kneeling there with injuries. An Xin hasn't asked for forgiveness and the eunuchs are too embarrassed to let him get up. You can tell that she is not a softie who can be bullied.
General Chen: "Master Shanzhang is a man of great talent, with great foresight, how can you and I, warriors, compare with him."
"You're right, Old Chen." General Gao nodded in agreement: "Ever since that brat from my family followed her out for three years, he has become a lot smarter.
Xiaoshan is such a capable person, he must be able to calculate everything."
Someone who was highly skilled in martial arts and had sharp eyes and ears heard the conversation between the two generals and couldn't help but twitched her lips. She really wasn't that capable.
I just figured that Si Han would soon learn the news that they were intercepted here.
As long as he doesn't want to have a real reason to turn around and retreat back to Daqian, according to the distance between Lindu City and Beiming Kyoto, he will definitely send someone to deal with the matter within three days.
They just didn't think about it in that direction. If they had thought about it, they would have realized that someone would come to greet them within three days.
It was not until An Xin and the others packed up and left that Liao Ang smiled for the sake of the eunuch Bei Ming who came to pick them up, and his face turned ashen.
As for whether he holds a grudge in his heart, who cares?
Anyway, Liao Angkuo had already blocked An Xin here and even spent a large sum of money to hire a killer to kill her.
An Xin just took it easy with the attitude that he was not worried about having too many debts and that he was not itchy when he had too many snails.
An Xin and his companions were taken to Lindu City, where they had a good meal and rested for a night.
The next day, we set off.
In the following days, with the guidance of Beiming eunuchs, they had a smooth journey all the way to Beiming capital.
He was arranged to live in the embassy in Beiming that received envoys from various countries.
The embassy of Beiming is obviously much larger than the embassy of the island country Nanyu that I have visited before, and there are also many more people serving inside.
An Xin and his friends were assigned to a yard. It was early autumn and the flower beds in the yard were still blooming with colorful flowers.
The buildings in the courtyard are arranged in an orderly manner, with exquisite patterns carved on the lintels. As soon as you enter the door, you will see exquisite corridors and corridors.
The main hall in the mansion is richly decorated, with famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls and auspicious patterns painted on the roof.
The servants served them tea and welcomed the embassy officials who came in. After bringing them in, they exchanged a few lukewarm greetings and left.
An Xin's expression did not change, and she also did not miss the malicious look in the eyes of the embassy official before he left.
An Xin had anticipated a situation like this before she came here. Not to mention Si Han's attitude towards her, just the time-traveling fellow villager Xiao Wenrou who hated her to the core, now that she had come to her home turf, the days ahead would not be peaceful.
Although she didn't know whether the official who managed the embassy was someone she bribed or arranged by someone else, An Xin still reminded everyone to be careful about their food and drink when staying here, and try not to go out alone at night.
He also gave special instructions to the little guy Chi Lan.
An Xin looked at Leng Xiangbai, Jiang Zhou, and Jiang Xuan, who all looked a bit tired after walking all the way.
I was just about to let everyone go back to wash up and rest, and then have dinner together in the evening.
After they moved in, they heard that the guards who were assigned by General Chen and General Gao to guard the gate came in and reported: "Sir, there are two envoys from Nanzhao. They heard that you are here and want to come in to visit."
"Nanzhao~"
An Xin suddenly remembered that when he participated in the Cuju competition in Nanyu Island Country, a little kid took a fancy to the very strong Zheng Xiaoling.

Moreover, the boy had red lips and white teeth and was good-looking, but unfortunately she didn't have time to get him because of time constraints, otherwise she would have asked Zheng Xiaoling to kidnap him back.
Since they were acquaintances, there was no reason for An Xin to stop them from coming in, so he ordered: "Please invite them in."
When two handsome young men walked in, An Xin felt that her original fatigue was relieved a little. It turned out that beautiful things can make people feel relaxed and happy.
Although An Xin is not a person who likes to look at appearance, it does not prevent her from appreciating beautiful things and feeling happy.
"Master An, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are doing well."
"Master Xi and Master Xi are still so energetic."
An Xin politely stood up, extended his hand to invite the two to sit down at the guest seat, and asked the servant to pour them tea.
Xi Shanruo, who had grown from a teenage boy into a handsome young man with an upright figure and a handsome face, swept his eyes, as clear as mountain spring water, around the hall.
Feeling a little disappointed, he pretended to ask casually, "Sister Zheng didn't come?"
The scene in which Zheng Xiaoling defeated a group of provocative men alone in the Nanyu Embassy was deeply engraved in his mind as he had been weak since childhood.
This time he followed his cousin on a diplomatic mission to Bei Ming, also hoping to meet that woman again, who had a scar on her face but always spoke softly to him, for fear of scaring him.
In fact, he wanted to tell the woman who was one year older than him that he was not afraid of the scar on her face.
"No," An Xin said, "If you want to see her, you can take a detour this time. She is guarding the city at the border of northern Ji now."
An Xin looked at Xi Shanruo with a smile. She knew that she was right at the beginning. This boy really had feelings for her little Ling'er.
An Xin had a favorable impression of this young master from a wealthy family who did not judge people by their appearance, and even spoke to him more softly.
This made Jiang Zhou grit his teeth and snort secretly.
Leng Xiangbai lowered his head and drank the tea in his hand without saying a word.
There was a faint smile on Jiang Xuan's cherry-like lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes. It was obvious that his mood at the moment was not as good as his appearance.
