At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

sleepless nights.

The next day, as soon as a faint light appeared on the horizon, Wu Yan and Xiao Lin left the house with their servants.

They are going to Zhuangzi to bring back all the masters and ladies in the mansion.

After all, if something like this happens to a young person, the old one cannot escape responsibility.

"Miss, do you want to take a rest?" Wu Xin felt a little distressed when he saw Jin Bao dozing off.

"It's better not to rest anymore. Let's go out to have something to eat first. We'll write letters when we come back later."

Jinbao rubbed his sore eyes, stood up and stretched his legs.

"Then they..."

Wu Xin looked into the house with some worry.

"Don't worry, I'll leave this place to you. You two can go out to eat and bring some back to me later."

Zheng Jiacheng yawned and leaned against the pillar tiredly.

I was so busy that night that I didn't even close my eyes. It was impossible to say that I wasn't sleepy.

"Then brother is waiting here, we will be back soon."

After saying that, Jinbao and Wuxin walked towards the back door together.

In fact, all the servants in the house were locked in a room, and they couldn't escape even if no one was watching.

But for safety reasons, it is safer to leave one person here.

The two of them walked out of the back door and saw a man wearing a black mask and holding a horse wandering outside the door.

Jinbao thought he was a pedestrian passing by, so he chose to ignore him and walked around him.

The masked man was stunned for a moment, then coughed awkwardly, "Princess Fujin, please wait a moment."

"you know me?"

Jin Bao turned around and looked at him curiously.

Everyone who knew her identity was in the capital, so how could she appear here?

The man adjusted the mask on his face. He was Long Wu who had been chasing after him on horseback.

Thinking of his master's instructions when he set off, he took out his token and said: "I'm in Xia Long Wu. I belong to the prince. I taught the county magistrate a lesson in Long Yan Town before."

After his reminder, Jin Bao suddenly remembered.

"It turned out to be you. Thank you for helping us that time, otherwise the county magistrate would not have given up so easily."

Although the two of them had never met, she had no doubt at all. After all, the prince's order could not be fake.

Besides, at this juncture, there was nothing to gain by lying to her.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I was here to investigate the local prefect under the order of the prince. I just came here when I didn't expect to meet the Princess."

Long Wu lied without changing his expression.

In fact, he saw Jin Bao and his group yesterday, but he didn't show up and followed them silently.

After seeing them checking into the inn, they left to do other things.

Unexpectedly, something happened that night.

However, he knew that the princess had helpers, so he did not interfere and chose to meet her by chance at the door early in the morning.

Jin Bao smiled knowingly. Although he felt that his appearance was a bit too coincidental, he did not intend to think deeply about it.

Since the prince's people are investigating the prefect, it's just a good idea to leave the mess here to him, and they can set off in the afternoon and continue on their way.

"Your name is Long Wu, right? Why don't we go have something to eat together? I just learned some trivial matters about the prefect yesterday, so we can talk while eating."

Hearing that Jin Bao was about to tell him about the prefect, Long Wu's expression was a little unnatural.

Investigating the local prefect was just a random excuse he made, but he didn't expect it to happen.

But the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back, so I had no choice but to tie up the horse and follow them to a restaurant.

At the dinner table, the three of them ate something to fill their stomachs.

Then he talked about what happened last night.

When I accidentally saw Jin Bao entrusting everything to Long Wu, I couldn't help but sigh that the lady was so lucky.

I just said yesterday that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and today someone took the initiative to come over and help.

What does it mean to be given a pillow just after dozing off? She finally saw it today.

When Long Wu heard that the matter was so troublesome, he pursed his lips, and the face under the mask became even colder.

I really don’t know if he has something in his head. He knew that the princess would not be in danger, but he took the initiative to send her to her door. Didn’t he cause trouble for himself?

He is really riding a tiger now. It seems that he doesn't plan to leave until ten days and a half.

After explaining the matter, Jin Bao automatically ignored his unhappy expression and smiled and asked him to come back with him.

Now all we have to do is wait for Wuyan and the others to bring them back.

……

At the house, Zheng Jiacheng was leaning against a pillar and taking a nap.

"Brother, we brought you delicious food." Jinbao walked up to him and woke him up.

Zheng Jiacheng stood up with squinting eyes. When he saw Long Wu following behind, he immediately woke up.

He pulled Jinbao behind him and whispered: "Sister, be careful."

Wearing a mask in broad daylight, you don't look like a good person at first glance.

Long Wu glanced at him lightly and turned his face to the side.

"Brother, he belongs to the prince and is here to help. When Xiaolin comes back, we can leave."

Jin Bao gently shook his arm and explained.

"Are you sure? It can't be fake, right?" Zheng Jiacheng asked in a low voice worriedly.

"I'm sure, he has the crown prince's order."

After Zheng Jiacheng heard this, he looked at Long Wu sheepishly, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. All the servants in this house are locked up inside. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Long Wu replied coldly: "No need."

"Then leave this place to the adults. Let's take the first step."

Zheng Jiacheng handed him a key with a smile. When he didn't accept it, he stuffed it into his arms, picked up Jinbao and ran away.

Wu Xin looked confused and followed them with a food box.

The three of them didn't stop until they ran out of the house.

"Brother, why are we running?" Jin Bao asked.

Zheng Jiacheng stretched his head and glanced into the house. When he saw that Long Wu didn't follow, he said: "We have done what we should do. If we don't take the opportunity to hand over the mess to him now, what will we do if he regrets it later when he reacts?"

After learning Long Wu's identity, he guessed what his sister's intention was in bringing him here.

Now that someone has taken over, of course you have to run away quickly.

Wu Xin suggested: "Then let's find another inn and wait. I'm afraid Wu Yan and the others won't be back until noon."

Jin Bao and Zheng Jiacheng nodded in unison.

The three of them just left, leaving Long Wu standing alone in the yard, messy in the wind.

After noon, Wu Yan and Xiao Lin drove the carriage back. There were several people tied up in the carriage.

Zheng Jiacheng, who had been waiting near the mansion for a long time, came to greet him.

"Have you had lunch there? Why are you back so late?"

Wu Yan didn't answer and directly opened the curtain to show him.

Zheng Jiacheng saw the scene clearly and was a little surprised, "Why are there so many people?"

"The old guy has five concubines, how can it not be too many?" Wu Yan put down the car curtain and shook his head helplessly.

The most disgusting thing is that all his five concubines were bought by force. They are really like a nest of snakes and rats, and no one in the family is good.

Marrying so many concubines and only giving birth to one evil obstacle can be regarded as retribution.

After bringing the people to Long Wu, several people drove away in a carriage, preparing to have a good rest at the next place.

[This chapter is two in one]

A few days later, inside the border camp.

Guo Mingyu sat in front of the desk with a frown on his face.

"Brother Yu, don't worry. The soldiers will cover up the water and the earth. I'm here." Hua Manxing gently hugged him from behind and lay on his shoulders to comfort him.

"They were so quiet that I couldn't relax."

Given the nature of those Japanese pirates, they should have taken action long ago, but now they are uncharacteristically quiet and at a loss for words.

"Maybe they really intend to surrender."

"It's absolutely impossible. If they really had this idea, they wouldn't have made a five-year agreement." Guo Mingyu looked determined.

Hua Manxing looked at his worried look and took out a letter from home.

"Dad told us not to act rashly. Don't mess up the position until the enemy takes action."

Guo Mingyu took the letter from home and was a little disappointed after reading it.

"Why is there no mention of my daughter in the letter home this time?"

The family letter only briefly told them a few sentences and didn't say much else.

"Maybe she's afraid that we'll be distracted. Don't worry, my daughter is much more capable than us, not to mention dad and the others are here."

"I'm not worried, I just miss my daughter..."

Guo Mingyu's face softened as he read the letter from home.

……

At this time, Jinbao and the others had arrived at the border town.

Zheng Jiacheng looked at the familiar place and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the border town has changed so much in recent years. It is much more lively than before."

It seems that the adjustment has been good in the past few years since the truce.

"Sister, should we go find my godmother and the others now?"

Xiao Lin has been extremely excited since arriving at the border. He talks about finding his godmother more actively than eating.

"Why are you so anxious? We have just arrived here. We must first get familiar with the surrounding environment. There are many more rules in the military camp than outside."

Zheng Jiacheng had stayed in the military camp and knew how boring it was, so naturally he didn't want to leave so quickly.

The two disagreed, so the decision fell on Jin Bao again.

"Let's rest in the city for two days before going to the military camp."

The border town seems to be relatively stable, and the military affairs are not in a hurry these two days. It is better to inquire about the local situation first.

"Then it's a happy decision. Let's find an inn to stay in. I'll take you to a good place tonight."

Speaking of that good place, Zheng Jiacheng smiled a little.

Night falls quickly.

Several people freshened up and changed their clothes in the inn.

Jinbao is still dressed in men's clothing, with her hair in a high bun, and her palm-sized face is fair and delicate. Due to her young age, at first glance, it is difficult to tell her gender.

At this time, Wu Xin also put on men's clothes. After all, this is a border crossing and everyone is there. It is safer to dress up in men's clothes.

"Let's go. I'll take you to 'Haitang Pavilion' tonight. Speaking of which, I've never been to this place." Zheng Jiacheng walked out of the inn first, leading the way.

"How do you know it's a good place if you haven't been there?" Xiao Lin looked at him questioningly, looking a little lazy.

"When I was a kid, I often watched them go in and listen to music. It must be a good place."

Zheng Jiacheng looked forward to it. It seemed that his childhood wish could come true today.

Haitang Pavilion? Listen to music?

Wu Xin recited this name in his mind, and the more he recited it, the more it felt like a flower building.

Although she was suspicious, she didn't stop her. After all, it was her first time in this place and she didn't dare to make any assumptions.

Let’s talk about it when we get to the place.

Everyone followed Zheng Jiacheng and walked right out of the inn door.

Many stalls were lit up with lanterns. Unexpectedly, it was quite lively here at night.

Jinbao stood in front of an old woman's stall and took a fancy to two hairpins. Although the texture was not very good, the style was extremely elegant and beautiful.

A hairpin is carved from white jade, with a hint of green at the end, which looks light but agile.

The other hairpin is all red, with blooming flowers carved on the tail. It looks passionate and very eye-catching.

Seeing that their sister liked it, Zheng Jiacheng and Xiao Lin rushed to pay the money.

"I'll pay for it. This hairpin is a gift from me to my sister."

"Get out of the way, we two came out of the same mother's womb, it's me who should pay."

"I'm older than both of you. I'm the older brother. You all have to listen to me when I'm out. I have to do the payment."

"..."

The two of them were neck and neck, and neither one wanted to back down.

Jin Bao smiled helplessly and handed the old woman a piece of silver while they were not paying attention.

"Mother-in-law, I want these two hairpins."

Zheng Jiacheng and Xiaolin looked at her outstretched hand and were stunned at the same time.

After reacting, they were very annoyed. Then they each glared at each other and turned away unconvinced. No one wanted to look at the other.

"Hey, okay, Miss, you really have good taste. These two hairpins are the most beautiful in the whole stall."

The old woman took the silver with a smile, lowered her head and rummaged through her purse, preparing to give her change.

"Mother-in-law, there's no need to look for it. I want this red bracelet too."

"The red ropes are all made by me, the old lady. They are worth a few copper coins. If you like them, miss, you can take them all."

The old woman smiled and took off all the red ropes hanging on them and put them all on Jinbao's hand.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Jinbao did not refuse and put the red string in his pocket.

"I should be the one thanking you. Old lady, I met a fairy today."

The old woman looked at her jade-like little face with a look of fondness on her face.

Jin Bao took the hairpin, nodded and smiled at her, then turned and left the stall.

After walking far away.

"Sister Wuxin, this is for you."

Jinbao handed the white jade hairpin to Wuxin.

At first glance, she felt that this hairpin matched Wu Xin's temperament very well, so she bought it as a gift to her.

Wu Xin was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief: "Did Miss want to give it to me?"

"Yeah, sister Wuxin will definitely look good in it." Jinbao nodded his head vigorously.

"I...can I have it?"

The corners of his unintentionally moved eyes were slightly red, but he didn't dare to answer.

After all, her current status is just that of a servant, and the young lady is the master, so she actually personally picked out the hairpin and gave it to her...

Jin Bao said nothing, looked at her and smiled, and motioned for her to lower her head.

Wu Xin lowered his head in a daze.

Jin Bao took the white jade hairpin and carefully inserted it into the bun on her head.

After inserting it, Wu Xin raised her head and saw everyone looking at her, her cheeks quietly turning red.

It has to be said that Jin Bao's vision is really excellent. Under the background of the white jade hairpin, Wu Xin's originally cold face became a little more elegant.

Each of them was taller than the last, and the passers-by were stunned.
