Just when the tip of the sword was about to touch Xu Zhilan's clothes, Xu Zhilan rose up, and a flying foot was kicking on Qian Li's chest.

Everyone was shocked, Nangong Xuan and Qi Moxuan were ready to kill Qian Li, but they didn't expect Xu Zhilan to have such a hand.

"What a good move to win in defeat!" The emperor once again took the lead in applauding, and the ministers applauded.

In the end, Xu Zhilan and Sun Sheng, another forbidden army, won and were selected as candidates to escort the emperor's gang, and they were respectively crowned as the deputy commander of the fourth rank as Qi Moxuan's deputy.

Three days later, the emperor set off in the capital, and before that, all the personnel in charge of escorting were given two days off.

Xu Zhilan took Qian Xiutao and Xiao Tian back to Shangshu Mansion and came directly to meet the old lady.

"Old lady, I didn't expect you to be such an easy-going person, and Yu Niang will often come to serve you in the future." The new aunt Yu Niang happened to come out of the Longevity Pavilion with a smile.

Seeing Xu Zhilan, he was first a blessing, and then said softly: "I heard that the eldest lady won the school, the slave and maid congratulate the eldest lady!" ”

Xu Zhilan politely held Yu Niang's hand and helped Yu Niang up, "Fourth aunt, thank you!" ”

"Lan'er, come on, grandma look at you." The old lady couldn't wait to call Xu Zhilan.

Xu Zhilan went to the old lady's side and said with a smile: "Grandmother, granddaughter has been promoted again." ”

"You, the girl's family fights and kills all day long, have you forgotten the major events of your life?" The old lady scolded with a smile.

"Grandmother, how are you doing?" Xu Zhilan diverted the topic.

"Okay, everything is fine, I'm just worried that you will be bullied in the palace!" The old lady took Xu Zhilan's hand, looking a little worried.

"Grandmother, don't worry." Xu Zhilan looked indifferent.

"Zhang Jieyu has been asking you for trouble again and again?" The old lady asked very seriously.

Xu Zhilan frowned, who told the old lady, she was afraid that the old lady would be worried so she kept silent.

"Lan'er, you don't have to hide it from me, I know everything, and I know why you entered the palace." The old lady said solemnly.

"Grandmother, my mother's death is wronged, I must avenge her!" Xu Zhilan no longer hides it.

The old lady smiled and shook her head, "I'm afraid your mind is not just to avenge your mother, you are for Yu Huiyi!" ”

To say that Lao Taijun is really a human spirit, she can actually guess Xu Zhilan's thoughts, she is really an old man.

"Grandmother, you can keep it a secret." Xu Zhilan said coquettishly.

"You, it's hard to sell you if you don't keep it secret, grandma is worried about your comfort, you have to take care of yourself." The old lady said as she picked up a box from her side.

Inside the box was a black thing, I don't know what it was.

"Grandmother, what is this?" Xu Zhilan took it in his hand curiously.

"I don't know, this is the commemoration that Xiulan Yu gave me back then, saying that it can save my life in a critical moment, and you can take it to study and study."

Xu Zhilan looked at this thing carefully, and a pattern flashed in his mind.

It was seen in a book dedicated to recording hidden weapons, it seems to be called plum blossom needle, the master can lock the enemy's acupuncture points with a needle, or the needle can be smeared with poison, and the throat can be sealed with blood.

Xu Zhilan came to the courtyard, pressed the button on the lantern hanging on the side, and saw a slender steel needle passing through the lantern.

It seems that it is really a plum blossom needle, Xiulan jade was given to the old lady, the old lady does not know martial arts, if you want to say that it can save your life, it must be smeared with blood to seal your throat, but after so many years, it can't expire.

Xu Zhilan returned to the Autumn Rain Pavilion, looked around for things to experiment, and finally caught a mouse.

After experiments, it has been proved that the steel needle in this black box is not coated with blood to seal the throat, but a high-end anesthetic.

Xu Zhilan regarded it as a treasure and put it away closely.

suddenly remembered the note that Yu Niang gave her just now, and quickly flipped it out to check.

"I have obtained the three farms in Nanke County and handed them over to Xie Xianyu to take charge."

Xu Zhilan couldn't help laughing out loud, Yu Niang's efficiency is really fast, it's only been a few days, and she has got three farms, and the person recommended by Aunt Wu is really right.

"Miss, the master told you to go to the study." Xiao Tian said to Xu Zhilan.

Xu Ji was drinking tea in the study, there was no abnormal expression on his face, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or annoyed, Xu Zhilan was really used to looking at his father's face first to speak.

"Lan'er, you are here, sit down, for your father to have something to say to you." Oji's tone was calm.

Xu Zhilan sat down and took a symbolic sip of tea, "Father, what are the admonitions?" ”

"Lan'er, you are now a fourth-grade official in the court, and my father really didn't expect that the daughter of the Xu family would also do such a thing." Okichi's words are quite pleasant, but Oji's Lan doesn't believe that Okichi has no purpose in saying this.

"Father, please speak up." Xu Zhilan said directly.

Xu Ji smiled awkwardly, and knew in his heart that this daughter was guarding against him from the heart, "Lan'er, Belvedere is rich in iron and stone, you go to Belvedere this time, you have to find a way to buy a few iron ore, and then sell the iron to the ordnance department of the imperial court, this is a profitable business." ”

Xu Zhilan's heart moved, Xu Ji has two times as an official, but he is not so good at doing business, the iron represents the weapon, and the weapon represents the army, which must be instigated by someone behind the scenes.

"Father, your solution is really good, then you can bring enough silver tickets for your daughter." Xu Zhilan was full of promises, but he didn't pull out a dime.

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Zhilan to speak so directly, he thought that Xu Zhilan would use his private property, after all, there are several industries in Nanke County, but he didn't expect her to be so shrewd.

"Good!" Okichi replied with a word.

Xu Ji wants to make a lot of money, takes the risk of reselling weapons, and asks her Xu Zhilan to help with that money, is she stupid? She is much better at business than Okichi.

In the evening, Xu Zhilan came to the ghost building alone.

"Master, you are here, the master has been waiting for you for a long time." Aunt Wu greeted with a smile.

Xu Zhilan came to an extremely secret room, this room is the place where Yu Huiyi and his henchmen specialize in important matters, and Yu Huiyi is reading a book there.

"Lan'er" Yu Hui pulled Xu Zhilan one by one and sat on his lap.

Xu Zhilan pushed away Yu Huiyi and asked angrily: "Yesterday, the emperor of the school field personally selected the person who was also the emperor's gang, why did you go?" Do you know where I almost died? ”

As soon as Yu Huo heard about this, he became angry, and his own aunt, Mrs. Yu Xuan, asked him to accompany him to hunt yesterday, and he only found out after he came back, and it was Qi Moxuan who told him.

"Lan'er, it's me who is not good." Yu Huiyi, such a proud person, took the initiative to admit his mistake, which flattered Xu Zhilan.

"Wen Jin, are you okay?" Xu Zhilan looked at Yu Huiyi in disbelief.

"Lan'er, why did my aunt do everything possible to transfer me away, wasn't she very good to you? How can it be seen that you are in danger? "The Imperial Collector is a fan of the authorities. I'm really angry with my aunt.
