Chapter 77: Threats
ββββββββ
After Ming Dai rushed out, she was quickly stopped in the small garden by the old housekeeper and the guards, and then Ming Jin arranged for Mingyue to come over.
"I just said that I could bear it, so I panicked?"
Mingdai turned to look at her, "I just want to go to Uncle and beg him to save my father." β
The old housekeeper on the side immediately said: "The lord has known and has started to deal with it, and the three girls are still waiting at home." β
After the old butler finished speaking, he asked the guards to send Ming Dai back to the courtyard.
Of course, Ming Dai understood Xie Yuan's attitude, indifferent, strong, and not allowed to interfere.
She gritted her teeth and had to look at Ming Jin.
"I'll send her back, and you stand down."
Ming Jin said it, the old housekeeper hesitated, but still led people to retreat.
"It seems that your words still work." Mingdai's tone was a little unkind.
"The third uncle had an accident in Linzhou, at this moment, you are worried and impatient, and you dare not fully trust my father, so I can forgive you for being presumptuous, and you can also say more."
"You!"
On the garden path, Ming Dai was very angry by Ming Jin, but she was also taken by the latter by the wrist and taken to the side pavilion.
"Take a break, control your emotions, and don't let your aunt see that she doesn't like you can stand things."
Ming Jin reminded gently, and Ming Dai reacted at this time, eased her tense demeanor, and said after a while: "Thank you." β
"Father's arrangement, don't say it's you, even I can't interfere."
Ming Dai looked at her fixedly, and finally lowered her eyes, "I understand, I won't mess around." β
Ming Jin bowed slightly, and then accompanied her back to the three-room courtyard, and the Lin family was still very happy, and kept it and said a lot of words.

The moon stars are scarce, and in the corner of the rockery behind the small gate in the backyard of the Xie family, a boy with handsome eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth watched the guards guarding the door fall unconscious.
"It's done, it's gone."
"Is the carriage arranged?"
"Alright, let's go now."
The handsome boy went out by night, and the carriage on the street in front was already very good, and when he saw that the people who were waiting for him came, the carriage curtain was lifted.
The handsome boy was about to get into the carriage, but he noticed that the coachman was not quite right, as if he was not his own person.
Startled, she was in a hurry to retreat, but a black shadow flashed behind her, and a sword was pressed against her throat, directly forcing it into the door.
"You guys...."
The curtain on the car made a slight rustling sound, and when it was lifted, the appearance of the person revealed was eye-catching.
"It's you!"
"It's me.... So unhappy to see me? β
Seeing Ming Jin get out of the car and walk to him, the handsome boy's face was extremely embarrassed, "You knew I was leaving... Playing me like a monkey? β
"Xie Mingjin, you...."
Ming Dai's body suddenly froze, as Ming Jin's hand fell on her lips, and her slender snow-white fingers gently tore off the mustache on it.
"A woman dresses up as a man, but you don't know what you look like, who can't see that you're a girl? It's really that everyone in the story is blind, and I really want to cover it up. β
After being torn off her mustache, Ming Dai was slightly in pain, covered her mouth lightly, and glared at Ming Jin angrily: "Then what good way do you have?" β
"Yes, if you don't go, it's okay, I'll go."
Ming Dai suddenly understood what Ming Jin meant, and when the guards wanted to take her back to the Xie family, "I know that if I go, I may not be able to help much, and even drag my feet, but you are right, I just can't trust the uncle, but you are the same, you can't believe it, right?" β
Ming Jin pinched his mustache and looked at her with a frown.
Ming Dai took a deep breath and glanced at the surrounding swordsmen and guards, "Hearing me say this uncle, they didn't react, it seems that you also disobeyed the uncle's order and got rid of his people, and now these are your own people." Time is running out, and you're sure you're going to waste your time here - even if you knock me out and I wake up the next day, I'll still make a fuss, like telling my mother and brother the truth. β
"Threaten me?"
"Yes."
After thinking about it for a while, he finally got into the carriage, "What else are you looking at?" They haven't come up yet, but they'll react later. β
ββββββββ
In the darkness of the night, the carriage went unhurriedly to the city gates.
Out of the city gate, the cold was particularly heavy, and everyone changed their fast horses in the Shili Pavilion outside the city.
It was pitch black, and Ming Dai's expression changed a little, "Riding a horse? β
"Time is pressing, you have to hurry to Linzhou, I remember that you are good at riding."
The ancestors of the Xie family followed the ancestors to lay down the world on the horse, and there were many people who served in the army under the ancestral training, and the prestige of the great country was generally related to the military before Xie Yuan entered the way of Wenchen, and there were countless people who fought blood in the past dynasties, but since the first three generations, that is, the generation of great-grandfathers, it was also due to the changes in the military and politics, the Xie family had countless casualties, and a layer of military weapons was broken, and the bloodline was weak.
For this Taigu Po, the younger generations don't know much, at least the side branches don't have any impression, even the Lin family doesn't know, not to mention Ming Dai's generation, but Ming Jin is different, she has been through the family tree since she was a child, and was taught by Xie Yuan to know her ancestors, although she was young at the time, she was keenly aware that when her father who had always been arrogant mentioned this aunt, her expression was also a little respectful.
That year, the Xie family changed dramatically, the great-grandfather generation was almost dead, only the aunt and her nephew, that is, Ming Jin's grandfather, this aunt ranked the elders, and was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time of the great change, but there was a marriage contract at that time, but because of the family change and retired, and then pulled the nephew who was four or five years younger than himself to support the lintel of the Xie family, and finally cleared the grievances of the Xie family, so that the father of the first emperor at that time, that is, Emperor Jing of the year, re-gave the family emblem, not long after Emperor Jing died, the first emperor succeeded to the throne, giving the Xie family a higher glory.
Young people are so curious, not to mention that smart people are especially curious, and Ming Jin even grabbed Xie Yuan and asked later.
Later it was quite simple.
Her grandfather was an adult at that time, started a family, and was in charge of the Xie family in good order, and the aunt, who was not young, was very relieved to see this, and finally left the burden of the family and traveled from her heart.
But even if it rises, the shadow brought by the military and political changes of that generation to the Xie family is very powerful, the military attachΓ©, although he has risen quickly in battle, he can also die quickly, and since ancient times, the military attache family has died the most, and it is the military attache family that has died the most, which is really miserable.
The Xie family has reached the ultimate in the grade of being a minister, and now they have to seek stability in stability, it is better to take the road of Wenchen to boil frogs in warm water, I heard that this is the advice given by the aunt when she left, plus her grandfather saw the tragic death of his relatives when he was young, and he also quite agreed with this truth, so even if he is still in the army, the training direction of the juniors has been directly transferred from the military to the imperial examination civil official, and even the birth of a good son is forced to study in death, but unfortunately the military attache gene is too deep, and the rest of the sons have developed hands and feet and have mediocre heads, Only the eldest seemed to have opened his eyes, and even had the spare strength to promote the third brother with mediocre talent to take the position of lifter, and he was dragged into the Wenchen team by relying on the shadow of the family, which made his grandfather overjoyed.
But some things will not change, not to mention the son, like Ming Dai Mingrong and other concubines are required to practice the method of self-preservation, riding a horse archery and the use of broken blades must also understand some superficiality, in order to deal with changes.
It's just that outsiders don't know about it.
Of course, there are no requirements for concubines, such as Xie Mingyue, which is not among them, these are all in the cultivation content of all parties' lineages, which are confidential.
Ming Jin was also raised, or her grandfather personally taught, but unfortunately she was not in good health, and the family's requirements for her were also relaxed, and naturally they did not learn as well as Ming Dai.
"I'm good at riding, of course, but what about you? With your bones, you won't die halfway. β
Under Ming Dai's disgust, she looked at Ming Jin's weak and unable to take care of herself.
"If I tell you that the ginseng snow lotus and other treasures that I have eaten in the countryside for four years are pulled by a car, do you believe it or not?"
Ming Jin stepped on the horse briskly, the clean and simple green shirt robe floated in the air with a beautiful and sharp sound, the reins were pulled, and the horse's front hooves fell.
Ming Dai, who was sour in her heart, was stunned and also got on the horse, but she was more neat than Ming Jin, her bright eyes and teeth raised her eyebrows, "It's not as good as me to eat so many treasures!" β
Fast horses, the group left the capital and headed towards Linzhou.
