Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"I can't control that. Anyway, I don't know whether the information on it is true or not. It's up to you to decide whether it's intentional or not." Xu Yixing placed the note in the package of candied fruit and then placed it on the sundries beside him. He took one last look at the "child".

"Thank you for taking the trouble to prescribe so many medicines for me. I will never let you down. I will live a long life." After saying this, he smiled, patted the cake crumbs on his hands, and walked out of the alley humming a little tune.

Ying Si opened his mouth to shout, but found that he had nothing to say, so he turned around and stared at the package, spat as if in anger, and strode away.

But when he reached the end of the street, he turned back for some unknown reason, reached out to take the bag of candied fruit, put it in his arms, then with a red face, he quickly slipped out of the back street like a thief and disappeared into the night.

Xu Yixing felt that he had done a great thing and felt much better. When he returned to the garden, he met Lu Anyuan's anxious gaze and asked, "Where did you go? Why were you out for so long?"

"Ha, I'm going to do a good deed, helping a homeless child find his biological parents."

"You are really kind." Lu Anyuan glanced at the person in front of him, and seeing that the maid Mo Ci did not show any reaction, he knew that nothing had happened to her, and that she was just having fun. "Wash your hands and eat. The food here is not to your liking. Today we have asked a northern chef to cook the meal. Why don't you try it?"

"Okay. I have something else I want to ask you. Let's eat first."

Lu Anyuan got excited, held down her chopsticks, and said in a playful tone: "You also need to ask for help from others? Tell me, what trouble did you get into?"

"Hey, I want to know if you can give me the knife that Prince Gu Du gave you as a gift?"

"Eagle Flying Wolf Head Blade?" Lu Anyuan was puzzled. This thing was the Emperor Sword of the Western Hu. How could it be given to others casually? "I can give it to you, but Yixing, you know how special this thing is. If I show it to outsiders, it will be very troublesome."

"Of course I know. I'm not afraid to tell you that I plan to give this knife to someone else. Of course I have to ask if you agree."

Lu Anyuan's face darkened. This knife, which was full of murderous intent, was obviously given to a man. She actually gave her own thing to another man? And it was such a dangerous thing!

"Who are you planning to give it to?" This is something you need to find out clearly, so that it will be easier to find the right person when you kill him later.

Xu Yixing saw the evil in his eyes and stopped him immediately: "To be honest, I ran into one of my former shadow guards in the city today. But I had already let them go on their own at Pingyun Pass, but I didn't expect them to follow me. So I strongly suspect that the other shadow guards are also in Jiangnan, and they asked for your knife to get rid of them."

"Is there any necessary connection? If they don't obey your orders, I can send someone..." Lu Anyuan said as he made a gesture of wiping his neck. He really wanted to get rid of those people.

"Hey, hey, hey! After all, my shadow guard once saved your life, why are you so ungrateful? I know they follow me because I'm worried about them, and secondly, they will inevitably lose their self-identity after being a shadow guard for too long. I'm looking for a target for them, do you understand?"

"Haha." Lu Anyuan smiled awkwardly, put away his knife, and touched his non-existent hair: "Then tell me, how can we make them all leave willingly? What do you need, manpower, money, or something else?"

"One of my subordinates really likes your sword. If you give it to him, I'm sure he will be willing to leave." Xu Yixing finally explained the reason. Yingba had been eating sand on the grassland for more than half a year for this broken sword. It was really hard for him. It would not be a waste if you give it to him now.

"Hey, you are very good to your subordinates. Then I said that Da and Er also want it, so I can't give it to them?"

After hearing this, Xu Yixing immediately shouted outside the yard: "You two want it?"

"I don't want to." A unanimous answer came from outside the yard. Xu Yixing turned his head and stared at Lu Anyuan. How about it, you have nothing to say this time, right?

Lu Anyuan was so disappointed with the boy that he secretly thought that he would transfer Ada and Aer to the outer courtyard tomorrow to let Qiu Ling teach them a lesson. They were so disappointing!

Even so, Lu Anyuan did not give the wolf-head knife to Yixing so easily. If the Hu people or the people in the court found out about the knife, it would be bad. He just found a reason to refuse Yixing and asked people to search for the whereabouts of the shadow guards in the city.

It's a pity that he has only seen two of Yixing's shadow guards. Even the little ghost who had already left Jiangnan was only known to exist after Mo Ci and Mr. Yao confirmed it. He has to admit that these people have some means to hide.

After Xu Yixing's repeated pleas and sugar-coated words, Lu Anyuan finally relented and asked someone to hand over the tightly wrapped wolf-head knife to her. He also reminded her, "I'm not saying that even if you give this thing to your shadow guard, it will bring him a fatal disaster. Think it over before you decide."

"I know, I know." Xu Yixing's eyes lit up. He took out the knife and admired it carefully. It was such a rare and good blade. No wonder it became a treasure of the royal court.

The next morning, she warned everyone not to follow her and went to a pork shop in the west of the city. She sat outside the butcher's door for a long time, until the butcher finally couldn't help but took the opportunity to invite her into the room.

"Master." Yingba lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty, not only because he followed his master to Jiangnan, but also because he failed to protect his master from leaving the grassland.

"Forget it. I told you to leave on your own. What's the point of being a master or not?"

"Yes, Mrs. Xu."

"Ying Si is gone, you know that, right?"

"I heard about it." Ying Ba had heard about the boy deserting the battlefield and leaving Jiangnan after being scolded by his master. He was very disdainful of it. He really didn't know what was going on in his mind!

"What do you think? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes or unfinished goals that you want to achieve?"

"I don't have any wishes. Now I'm slaughtering pigs and selling meat. The feeling is almost the same as killing people. I think it's good."

Xu Yixing sighed again. Yes, her shadow guards were extremely loyal, but each of them was stupid and stubborn. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to disperse them all in the first place.

"This is for you." Xu Yixing put down what he was holding in his arms. On the chopping board in the inner room, there was a mixture of pork blood and bone residue. The scene was really weird.

"What is this?" Yingba had already seen his master holding a long object at the door of his shop, which looked like a guqin or something. He reached out to uncover the rough cloth wrapped around it, and his eyes widened immediately.
