As soon as this remark came out, some soldiers immediately became unhappy: "What a big tone, you—"

"Shut up!" The leader of the team stopped immediately, and hurriedly greeted the people who came by: "It's been a while since I saw Butler Jiao, is Master Jia still okay in the Taoist temple?"

"TOEFL TOEFL, my master has become more and more energetic recently. It's very cold, and he can still do Tai Chi twice every morning with other Taoist priests."

The person who spoke was brightly dressed, with a white and plump face, like a freshly steamed steamed bun.He was talking to the officers and soldiers carelessly with a big belly, and followed by a small car with green curtains.

If Jia Qiang hadn't peeped at Jia Zhen before and recognized this person, I'm afraid I would have mistaken him for a local rich man.

"Why is Jiao Er here? Could it be that Liu Fang's incident brought us near Jia Jing's Taoist temple?"

Jia Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.Perhaps it was because he heard that Jia Jing was protecting his father, he had a subtle intimacy with this grandfather whom he hadn't seen much, and he wasn't even that defensive towards Jiao Er who was beside him.

He had a premonition that Jiao Er was probably here to help them.Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers stopped their hands, they looked at each other inquiringly.

Jiao Er greeted the other guy and looked over at the same time.Glancing at Jia Qiang, she saw that Jia Qiang was standing next to the ditch. The other side of the ditch was a few feet above the ground. The place Jia Qiang was stepping on was the dirt road that had just been frosted. Said: "This is thanks to the blessing of the official again. Those two children are the Taoist boys newly bought by my lord. I think they were naughty and alarmed the officials, so they were too tired to work. The two liang of silver is still worth it." Please take it, and warm up with the brothers by boiling a pot of wine."

Unexpectedly, he got a Qiaozong, and the leader laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.Just as he took the silver and was about to put it in his pocket, he hesitated suddenly and stopped: "Since you are a Taoist boy, why are you not wearing a Taoist robe?"

Jiao Er hurriedly said: "There were ready-made ones, but my master thought the clothes didn't fit well. The sleeves were so fat that they hung down to his calves, and the robe was dragged like a broom. So he sent someone to make another one. I just cut the cloth today. Well, I guess it will take a few days before I get up."

Only then did the leader feel relieved, and enviously said: "Everyone says that Jia is not fake, and he is so generous to his servants, which is better than us being the big soldiers."

"Haha, the official is joking, who can compare to your prestige?"

After finishing speaking, Jiao Er waved to Jia Qiang: "If you don't come over yet, don't let the master wait to worry."

Jia Qiang turned her head to look at Feng Ziying, saw that his back was tense, his hands were clenched into fists, and he looked ready to go, so she patted him and said in a low voice, "This man is my grandfather's steward. Follow him first."

Looking back into his eyes, Feng Ziying nodded and slowly relaxed her body.Only then did Jia Qiang realize that there was a handful of shining needles in his palm.

"……this is……"

"I was planning to shoot the pursuers blind before entering the water, but now I don't need it." Feng Ziying flipped her wrist, and the pile of fine needles as fine as hairs disappeared without a trace, and I don't know where I received it.

Jia Qiang nodded silently, and said silently in her heart again, don't offend this killer.

The two passed through the officers and soldiers who were still screaming just now, and walked towards Jiao Er.A pair of very similar faces were reflected under the torches, and they seemed dizzy, and many soldiers couldn't help staring.

But the moment he saw Feng Ziying's face clearly, Jiao Er's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help groaning: "This...what's going on? Could it be...Could it be that Brother Qiang is actually..."

Seeing Feng and Qiang walking in front of him, he collected himself and said in a low voice: "This old slave was talking nonsense just now, so please don't take offense. After all, you came here strangely. If you shout out your identity, you may be born again." Trouble. The old slave has prepared a carriage, and the master is waiting for you in the courtyard. Please go with this master."

Seeing that both of them nodded, Jiao Er said to the leader again: "I didn't feel it when I came here in the wilderness, but now I'm a little shivering. I wonder if some officials can please give me a ride? "

"It's easy to say." The leader was eager to flatter Jia's mansion, without further ado, he immediately called out a few tall and burly veterans, and ordered them to send him to the Taoist temple.

In the sound of Jiao Er's thanks, the carriage was surrounded by soldiers, and slowly drove towards the Guanlou where the lights of candles flickered ahead.

Not far away, the man in black cast a dark face, and his voice, which he forgot to hide, suddenly became shrill and unmasculine: "Damn it! Who is helping that kid!"

As soon as she stepped into the Taoist temple, Jia Qiang keenly noticed that the temple seemed to be lax, but in fact it was heavily guarded.Listening carefully again, within the shadows of the four walls, there are several long and even breaths, obviously hiding the master.

Even in Jia's mansion, they have never been on such precautions, at most they sent some rough-handed servants and strong women when they were on duty at night.Seeing how careful the grandfather was, Jia Qiang couldn't help but make many guesses.

"Master is waiting for you two inside." Jiao Er led the two to the front of the main house, knocked on the door twice, waited for a few breaths, then pushed open the false door and let them in.He closed the door again and retreated silently.

The room is very cold and simple, there is only a long table with an incense burner in front of the portrait of Sanqing, and the rest are only a few futons on the ground.Because the room is spacious, it looks more and more deserted.

On the futon in the center, an old man with white beard and hair is sitting in meditation with his eyes closed.

Looking at his ruddy and smooth face like a middle-aged man, Jia Qiang found some traces unique to the Jia family.

"Qiang'er met grandfather."

"This junior has met Master Jia."

After the two juniors saluted, Jia Jing slowly opened his eyes: "Don't be restrained, sit down—Qiang'er, when grandfather saw you last time, you were not very talkative. You are half a child. Sit closer and let grandpa take a good look. You were shocked today, are you still afraid? Tell grandpa quickly what happened."

Jia Jing's impression has always been that he tried his best to jump out of the Three Realms, and he didn't want to get a little bit of dust.Right now, he is very kind to Jia Qiang, as if he was really inspired by the little grandson who has not seen him for many years.

However, Jia Qiang scrutinized his expression without any trace, but found something unnatural.

Jia Jing seemed to care about Jia Qiang very much, and even ignored Feng Ziying.But no matter how much he controlled it, his eyes would always glance towards Feng Ziying's side from time to time, and he would leave at the slightest touch, which turned out to be extremely suspicious.

Seeing this, Jia Qiang's heart sank slightly, and the sense of intimacy that seemed to be absent before disappeared in an instant.

The Liu family spent a lot of time trying to get rid of Feng Ziying...Jia Jing appeared in time to save them, but deliberately ignored them when they met...Furthermore, Feng Ziying's appearance is completely similar to her own...

It's all weird, how much does he know?

"Grandfather, there are robbers blocking the road today, robbing and killing people! We escaped with great difficulty, but we did not expect to come out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth. Fortunately, Guan Jiao came in time, so we had to escape, otherwise we would probably be killed by those wolves. The soldiers killed him." Jia Qiang acted like she was afraid of being frightened: "I simply don't care about our Jia family and Feng family! When I return to the city tomorrow, I will ask my uncle to hand over a post to the yamen, and I must be caught. Those daring little thieves, punish this group of soldiers!"

"Qiang'er, don't be afraid, grandfather will definitely let Jiao Er handle it." Jia Jing stroked Jia Qiang's back, seemingly soothing, but his palm trembled imperceptibly.

Surprised or excited?Maybe both?Continuing to observe the subtle expressions of the other party, Jia Qiang turned from anger to joy: "It's still the grandfather who loves the grandson. By the way, how do you know where we are?"

"There was a rumor in the mansion that you were coming to see me today, but I didn't see you at the wrong time, so I asked Jiao Er to bring someone to look for them. I finally found you before the accident happened."

Rumors in the house?Obviously it was an excuse, Jia Jing didn't know that he had separated from his family, so he used the mansion as a cover.I didn't tell anyone before I went out, because I was young, I only ran out on a whim.Jia Jing lied about it, obviously covering up the reason.

His eyes flickered, Jia Qiang was about to speak, but Jia Jing finally turned to Feng Ziying: "I only cared about my grandson, but I neglected the honored guest for a while. Is my nephew the young master of General Shenwei's mansion? Is your lord okay?"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang immediately stopped talking, wanting to hear what Jia Jing would say.On the surface, he just asked about trivial matters, such as whether the elders in the family are healthy, why they haven't lived in Beijing for a long time, whether General Shenwei still likes hunting, and so on.

Jia Qiang was getting a little impatient, and suddenly noticed that Jia Jing asked some questions two or three times, especially about Feng Ziying's age, how old she was when she came to Beijing, and what scenery she saw.

Thinking of what Jiao Er said just now about how good Jia Jing's spirit is, Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes slightly: It's not that the old man who is mentally ill and has a bad memory talks nonsense, there must be a reason for that!

But there are too few clues, Jia Qiang is still thinking about the connection, Jia Jing has issued an order to evict the guests, saying that it is late, and they have just been frightened, so they should rest earlier.I had no choice but to leave with Feng Ziying.

After a while, Jiao Er, who personally escorted the two into the guest room, left and returned.As soon as the door was closed, Jia Jing was excitedly pacing around the room: "I thought Weier was telling lies, but it turned out to be true! It seems that Jia Qiang is really my grandson!"
