Moreover, under Su Jinyao's instructions, some secret agents transformed into ordinary farmers, and even moved a family to settle down in the village near the villa.

It is estimated that after a period of time, under Su Jinyao's continuous operation and arrangement, there will be several villages around this that echo each other.

And the ordinary people in the village will gradually be replaced by spies sent out by the villa, and this place will become a real "fortress".

Sure enough, the door was not latched, and Su Jinyao pushed it open at once.

And at a glance, I saw that the front yard was already full of kneeling people, and a rough calculation showed that there were no less than fifty people in a row.

Most of these people Su Jinyao knew, and they were the dead soldiers who had followed her to Huwei Village. The identity of the dead soldiers is special, and this mountain villa has almost become a foothold for the dead soldiers.

And kneeling at the head was a woman in a black robe. The head hangs very low, and the face can't be seen clearly, but the momentum of the body is hard to ignore.

"Why is it a big gift? Get up. Su Jinyao smiled and waved her hand, signaling A-Ning behind her to close the door.

A-Ning was still stunned, and was called by Su Jinyao before he came back to his senses, and reflexively closed the door tightly.

In fact, what made A-Ning stunned was not the awe-inspiring momentum of these people, but it made her feel like she was back in the Shadow Guard Pavilion in a trance.

It's just that A-Ning knows that now she is no longer the pavilion master, but her master. But this woman, her momentum, identity, strategy, and courage seem to be above their pavilion master?

Ah Jing quietly looked at Su Jinyao in front of her, watched Su Jinyao walk towards the spies and dead soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, and helped the woman in front of her with both hands.

Su Jinyao picked up Qiu Ying, looked up and down, and didn't ask anything, but pointed to A Ning who was still standing at the door, and said, "This is what I brought, her name is A Ning." A-Ning, this is Autumn Shadow, my most powerful assistant. ”

Autumn Shadow looked up at A-Ning and smiled in return.

A-Ning finally saw Qiu Ying clearly, but she couldn't help but shrink in her heart because of her disfigured face.

A-Ning herself is not a beautiful woman, she can be said to be the master who can't be found if she falls in the crowd. And Aning is twenty years old, which is not considered young.

But she could vaguely see the original beauty from the face of the woman named Autumn Shadow.

The autumn shadow is well-defined, the facial features are deep, and the skin is not very white but has a healthy color. The figure is even more toned and well-proportioned, with a sense of strength that is rare for women.

It's a pity that this woman named Autumn Shadow wears an eye patch and has a lot of scars on her face. If you look closely, you can see that she has several fingers missing from her hands, and she only has them

Cover.

A-Ning and Qiu Ying haven't met, A-Ning just heard Su Jinyao often mention her recently.

Autumn Shadow had never even heard of the name A-Ning. In fact, Qiu Ying was almost autistic during this time, and she didn't even know that Su Jinyao was coming.

It wasn't until Su Jinyao had already come to the bottom of the mountain that the villa got the news from below, saying that "the master has arrived". Autumn Shadow summoned everyone to greet her.

After Su Jinyao introduced, Qiu Ying and A Ning also bowed their heads to each other, which was polite. But neither of them was good at words, so neither of them spoke.

Although Qiu Ying was standing beside Su Jinyao, she didn't know what to say for a while. She actually knew in her heart that Su Jinyao came suddenly, and seven or eight times out of ten it was because of her.

But Autumn Shadow wanted to explain something, but found that she couldn't say anything when the words came to her lips.

In the end, Qiu Ying took a deep breath, knelt down in front of Su Jinyao again, and said, "Master, Qiu Ying is derelict in his duties, lazy and lazy, and has not fulfilled his duties as a commander, so please punish the master." ”

Su Jinyao glanced at Qiu Ying, then looked at the spies who didn't know whether to kneel down again with Qiu Ying, waved her hand, and said, "Don't say anything here, if you want to kneel, follow me into the house and kneel." ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao walked inside first. He also motioned for A-Ning to follow.

Qiu Ying knelt on the ground for a while, and when she saw that Su Jinyao had already walked away, she immediately got up and followed. and also signaled his subordinates to hurry up and prepare, and estimated that the master would live here for a while.

Su Jinyao heard Qiu Ying behind her instruct someone to prepare Su Jinyao's food, clothing, housing and transportation, so she interjected: "Prepare two more rooms, Jinmei will also come in the evening, and bring a friend." ”

Autumn Shadow agreed, and immediately ordered again. Then he hurriedly caught up with Su Jinyao and followed her into the middle hall.

This mountain lodge is not small, and it does not look imposing from the outside. It's exactly like the village of a rich nouveau riche, with a lot of rooms and a lot of rooms, which makes it look particularly rich.

But in fact, the pattern inside is very exquisite.

There is a clear division in the courtyard where the master rests, where the spies and dead soldiers usually operate, and where the venues for martial arts exercises are distributed, including the distribution hall where the news is organized.

So Su Jinyao came to this atrium, which is a place where only she, the master, can come. Normally, only those summoned by the master can come in.

After Su Jinyao came in, she didn't immediately sit in the center and put on a pose. Instead, he picked up a few books on the table and walked to the window to read them.

These books are all recent adjustments to the distribution of spies, as well as important news released by various distribution centers.

Although Su Jinyao does not work here, and the affairs here are also fully managed by Qiu Ying, but every once in a while, important information is compiled into a book, which is a rule that Su Jinyao has long set.

This is also in case something goes wrong, so that it can be remedied and followed up again.

So Su Jinyao can know what kind of big things have happened in the rivers and lakes, officialdom, and shopping malls in the recent period of time by looking at these book folds.

When Qiu Ying came in, Su Jinyao was looking at these returns seriously, and she didn't mention anything about Qiu Ying.

Qiu Ying also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stood quietly aside, waiting for Su Jinyao's instructions.

Send spies to Tianze Country

Su Jinyao read it for about an hour, and finished reading all the books in her hand. With a frown, he placed the fold on the windowsill and looked out the window, as if thinking about something.

Qiu Ying took a step forward and asked softly, "Master, is there anything wrong with it?" I immediately ordered someone to check again. ”

"No, it's not a matter of dealing with it." Su Jinyao waved her hand, looked away again, and was silent for a while.

Autumn Shadow stopped talking. The owner has to think about things, and of course she accompanies them silently. When the master wants to explain, he will naturally speak.

After a while, Su Jinyao took out two copies from the book fold placed on the windowsill and said, "Some of them are about border news. One is about the Tianze Kingdom in the north, and the other is about the Nanyuan Country overseas. In the future, all news from these two places should be separated from other news and compiled into a separate book, and report to me at any time when there is big news. ”

"Yes." Qiu Ying agreed, and asked again: "Master, the news of these two countries is actually not complete, and the spies we sent are only on the periphery, and they have not really penetrated into the imperial power. From the master's point of view, should you send more people to collect and sort out the news? ”

Su Jinyao frowned again and said, "Haven't you sent more people yet?" I remember the last time I asked you to check Princess Miina of Tianze Kingdom. ”

Autumn Shadow said regretfully, "Yes." Last time, the master ordered that someone be sent to investigate. However, the news in these two countries is not optimistic, and we are not too manpowered, so we ......"

"A group of people will be drawn from the dead and sent to Tianze Kingdom." Su Jinyao said seriously: "Tianze Kingdom is still martial and barbarian. As long as our dead men are not too ruthless, they should be able to mix well among these people. ”

Autumn Shadow nodded and said, "Yes." Why didn't I think of it, different places, folk customs are different, Tianze country is the majority of fierce and martial people, and the spies we sent are not easy to attract attention if they are stronger. ”

Su Jinyao smiled slightly, she knew that Qiu Ying's words were not a compliment to herself.

She said again: "As for the Nanyuan Country...... There is still a sea across it, and you can't reach it. Leave the matter over there to me, and I can send the right people over there through the Helian family's seafaring merchant ships. ”

Autumn Shadow asked again if she needed to select men from the dead and send them to Helian's house; Then it was transferred by Helian's family to Nanyuan Kingdom.

Su Jinyao said, "Not for the time being." I'll see if I can get a few suitable candidates directly from Helian's house. It's hard to put our people in Helian's house, and that's to take the lead. ”

If Helian Tianqi is willing to help, then ask for someone directly from him.

Su Jinyao believes that with Helian Ruo's intelligence and the power of Helian family, there will never be no one who is suitable to be an undercover agent.

But if Helian Tianqi really has no one at hand, then Su Jinyao proposes to send her own people over, and the big deal is to share the information with Helian Tianqi, which will not be abrupt.

"There is a difference in priorities, and there is a degree of courtesy" This is the basis of the cooperation between Su Jinyao and the Helian family, and no one can go beyond it and step over to the other party's territory to do things.

No matter how good the relationship is, it is a brother who settles accounts. Su Jinyao and Helian Ruo will understand this truth, so the cooperation will be pleasant.

When Su Jinyao arranged all this, Qiu Ying was still

He stood still, his head lowered.

Su Jinyao knew that Qiu Ying had something to do and refused to say it, so she simply didn't ask. So he changed the topic and said: "Qiu Ying, your master and I are married, and Jinmei has sent congratulatory gifts, what about your gifts?" ”

Qiu Ying was stunned, but she didn't expect Su Jinyao to ask for a gift, instead of asking her what was wrong with her for a while.

Although she had doubts in her heart, Autumn Shadow breathed a sigh of relief again. As long as Su Jinyao didn't ask too much, she didn't want to mention that person at all.

Therefore, Qiu Ying nodded and said very sincerely: "My subordinates did prepare a gift for the master, but I didn't know that the master would arrive today, so it was still in my room." I'll go and bring it to my master now. ”

After Qiu Ying went out, Su Jinyao sat on the chair and stood by the window for more than an hour, she was really tired.

After sitting down, Su Jinyao asked A-Ning, "What do you think of Qiu Ying?" I'm not talking about her loyalty, I'm talking about her martial arts. ”

Ah Ning glanced towards the door, recalled the footsteps of Qiu Ying when she came and went and the breathing rate when she spoke, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Light skills are good, but the foundation of internal force is unstable. But she didn't know how to practice, and she actually forcibly integrated her momentum into her internal force. Therefore, the moves she played, seven points relied on internal strength, and three points relied on deterrence, which belonged to a ruthless one, which made people frightened and defeated a few points first. ”

Su Jinyao nodded when she heard this, and said, "You are worthy of being an expert, and you can see it very thoroughly." If I tell you that Autumn Shadow is a halfway monk, not a martial artist since childhood, would you believe it? ”

"What?" A-Ning was also stunned, and then said in surprise: "Then, she is not a wizard who practices martial arts, or she has some adventures." ”

"If there's an adventure, it's that you met me." Su Jinyao smiled and said, "I don't have internal strength, and I don't even know how to work lightly." But if you have a trick with others, I don't have any masters in the rivers and lakes. ”

Although A-Ning hadn't really seen Su Jinyao fight with anyone, as Su Jinyao's shadow guard, she could also feel that Su Jinyao's words were not bragging.

Therefore, A Ning nodded and said, "There are indeed too many incredible things in the master's body. Before meeting his master, A-Ning would never believe that there would be such a person. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "A-Ning, I'm telling you this, not to show off my medical skills and skills, but I want to tell you what kind of ability I have." As you can see, the dead soldiers in my villa are not weak, and the number of spies I have scattered throughout the country is definitely more than many times that of the Shadow Guard Pavilion. ”

After listening to this, A-Ning's body trembled slightly, but finally nodded. Because what Su Jinyao said was the truth.

Su Jinyao said again: "So I just want you to understand that you can follow me with peace of mind in the future, and I won't let you go back to the Shadow Guard Pavilion again." ”

Hearing these words, A-Ning finally understood the reason why Su Jinyao confessed to her before entering the door.

This is a step-by-step hint to her, telling her that she doesn't have to be afraid of the rules of the Shadow Guard Pavilion. Su Jinyao will not let her suffer. And definitely have such ability and strength.

Then, Aning's heart was filled with gratitude. The Shadow Guard Pavilion didn't give her a sense of security, but she found it here in Su Jinyao.

"Thank you, master." A-Ning thanked him, and he had truly surrendered in his heart.

BMW with a good saddle

Su Jinyao saw sincerity and loyalty from A-Ning's eyes, smiled slightly and didn't say anything, and then looked up at the door.

Just as footsteps sounded, it was Autumn Shadow who came back with a large wooden box. The workmanship of the wooden box is not very exquisite, it looks a little rough, and I don't know what is inside.

As soon as Autumn Shadow entered, she looked left and right, as if wondering whether to put the large wooden box on the ground or on the table.

Su Jinyao felt that Qiu Ying was so sincere and cute, so she knocked on the table in front of her and said, "Put it here." I'll see what kind of baby this is, so big. ”

Autumn Shadow said yes, and walked over to put the box down. But he also said: "Actually, it's not a treasure." ”

Su Jinyao stood up and opened the box herself. The probe looked inside, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You have a heart, giving such a gift, do you want to tell me that if the newlywed is unhappy, you can ride a horse and escape?" ”

"Uh" Qiu Ying's face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, don't think too much about it, Master, Qiu Ying is a rough person and doesn't have much thought." I just thought that this saddle master could use it, so I gave it away. ”

It turns out that Autumn Shadow's large wooden box contains a brand new saddle. And it is not an ordinary cowhide material, but a flexible calfskin and a domineering crocodile leather sewn together.

There are also a lot of small silver accessories on the saddle, which are both decorative and practical.

For example, a larger silver buckle can be used to hang heavy objects, and a smaller one can be used to hang weapons, bags, and water bottles. As long as the horse can be carried and is not in the way, it can be hung on this saddle, which is also convenient for the owner to take.

Su Jinyao smiled and took the saddle out of the wooden box, and the row of bells on it made a pleasant sound.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes, I actually like it." This material is very particular, the workmanship is so good, and the hook buckle on it is also practical. Autumn Shadow, in fact, you really got out of your mind when you gave this gift. ”

Qiu Ying breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then said: "I just think that the master's desert clouds have a great desert awe-inspiring, and the ordinary saddle can't set off the majesty of this BMW." So I hired a craftsman, and asked someone to buy crocodile skin, and personally designed this saddle to give to the master. ”

Of course, Su Jinyao understands that this crocodile skin is indeed valuable. Because there were no guns in ancient times, crocodiles were hidden in ponds, and their lethality was amazing.

Catching a crocodile is no less difficult than hunting a tiger. So the crocodile saddle is also a treasure.

It can be said that whether it is Jinmei or Qiuying, they are sincere in their thoughts about Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao carefully put the saddle back into the wooden box and said, "This gift is so good. I'll use it when I get back. ”

When Autumn Shadow heard this, she smiled too. The cautious feeling on his face was finally gone.

Su Jinyao has been waiting for this opportunity, she entered the door to talk about business, and then asked Qiu Ying for a gift, just to let Qiu Ying let down her guard.

Now seeing Qiu Ying smiling, Su Jinyao coughed lightly, beckoned to Qiu Ying, and said, "Come here, let me take a good look at your injuries." ”

"Hurt? Well, all right. Autumn Shadow was still a little confused, just waved her hand and didn't think much about it, but she didn't step forward.

Su Jinyao walked straight over, pulled Qiu Ying's wrist to check her pulse, and then said, "I'm still a little weak, why can't I recuperate?" Why are there still some knots? Do you have any depression in your heart? ”

"Huh? No, no. Qiu Ying reacted a little at this time, panicked, and hurriedly put her hand back.
