Smart people are smart people, and there are many things that don't need to be said too clearly. Shangguan Rui didn't want his eldest brother to bear the reputation of relying on his wife to succeed, An Jinxiu emphasized to Shangguan Rui that everything in Shangguan's family was made by Shangguan Yong with his life, and he was also making a guarantee with Shangguan Rui that she would not use her identity as the daughter of the Taishi to force Shangguan Yong.

An Jinxiu returned An Jinyan's gift list to Shangguan Rui's hand, and said with a smile: "What are you doing with these things in your family?" Uncle, what should we do about this? ”

Shangguan Rui shook his head and said, "I don't care about my family, it's better for my sister-in-law to watch and handle this matter." ”

"Then," An Jinxiu said, "we will put this gift aside, and we will return it when we have the opportunity." "An Jinxiu has made up her mind, not only An Jinyan's gift must be handled like this, but Bai Chengze's gift must also be handled in this way, in short, Shangguan Yong can't be allowed to accept the favor of these two, otherwise it will not be clear in the future, and things will be difficult to do.

Shangguan Rui also had this idea, and when he heard An Jinxiu say this, he nodded and said yes.

After Ping An woke up in bed at this time, he hummed and cried.

An Jinxiu turned around and walked to the bed, picked up Ping'an, and whispered.

Shangguan Rui looked at the mother and son, sighed in his heart, and didn't know when his eldest brother would come back, Ping An had already done the full moon wine, and he hadn't seen his father yet, after the sister-in-law married into the Shangguan family, he only got along with his eldest brother for one night, and the eldest brother was right to protect the family and defend the country, but he always owed the sister-in-law a stay. Shangguan Rui quietly walked out and closed the door for An Jinxiu.

"Ping An is good," An Jinxiu walked back and forth in front of the window with Ping An as usual, and whispered softly, "Daddy will be back soon, when Ping An grows up a little more, Dad teaches Ping An to practice martial arts, and my mother teaches Ping An to write, okay?" ”

The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the little baby are always changing, and Ping'an, who was still crying sadly, was soon coaxed into laughing again by An Jinxiu. An Jinxiu's gentle words and peaceful laughter spread to the small courtyard through the window, adding some warmth to the small courtyard of the Shangguan family.

In this way, another peaceful night passed, and the next day, the life of the Shangguan family was still as usual. Although Sejong also sent congratulatory gifts, the full moon sake of peace did not attract the attention of the people of Kyoto. However, Shangguan Rui, who came back from the academy on this day, brought An Jinxiu a news that shocked the city of Kyoto, and the former military department servant Wang Yuan was accused of bullying the king by Sejong, and the whole clan was imprisoned, and he would be beheaded in a few days.

"Our family still bought the land from the Wang family," Shangguan Rui asked An Jinxiu uneasily, "Sister-in-law, we won't be implicated in buying land, right?" ”

An Jinxiu said: "Wang Yuan's sin is to connect the nine clans? ”

Shangguan Rui said, "Yes, everyone is guessing that Wang Yuan deliberately deceived the saint. ”

"We bought the land through a deal on the government's surface," Ms. An said, "so we won't be implicated." ”

Shangguan Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, one of the scholars in our academy is Wang Yuan's nephew, and he was arrested from the academy by Dali Temple today. ”

"That's a pity," An Jinxiu sighed, lowered her head and got busy with the embroidery work on the embroidery frame again.

Shangguan Rui had nothing to worry about, and went to see the peace brought by the nurse.

After Shangguan Rui left, An Jinxiu stopped what he was doing again. An Jinxiu, who has lived for two lifetimes, is not surprised that Wang Yuan, who was originally Emperor Sejong's confidant and favorite general, was beheaded by nine clans, and in his previous life, this Wang Yuan Wang was also this fate, and the so-called bullying was just a trumped-up charge, the real reason was that Wang Yuan helped the prince to reach out to the army and touched the scale of Emperor Sejong's rebellion, Sejong could not kill his son, but there was no need to hesitate to kill the entire family of Wang Yuan.

An Jinxiu thought about Wang Yuan's affairs, and suddenly remembered one thing, and when she went to the kitchen, she found the purple mandarin who was busy cooking and said, "Purple mandarin girl, go and call Yuanzhi to come to the house for me, I have something to say to him." ”

The purple mandarin said, "I'll go when I'm done." ”

An Jinxiu took the spatula from Zi Yuan's hand, "I'll come here, tell Yuan Zhi, and let him have dinner with me." ”

After Zi Yuan wiped his hands, he was about to run out to Anfu to find An Yuanzhi.

"Wait," An Jinxiu put some broken silver into Zi Yuan's hand, "give the doorman some money and talk to those people well." ”

Zi Yuan reluctantly put away the broken silver, and if she didn't give money to the doormen, those people wouldn't go to Fifth Young Master An for her to spread the word.

"Be careful on the road, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner," An Jinxiu told Zi Yuan again.

"Hey," the purple mandarin duck ran away.

After An Jinxiu cooked at home, and waited for a while, An Yuanzhi came on a horse first.

"Zi Yuan said that you are looking for me in a hurry," After entering the door, An Yuanzhi stood in the kitchen and talked to An Jinxiu, "Is there an accident at home?" ”

"You know that Wang Yuan is going to be beheaded by the Nine Clans?" An Jinxiu brought a bowl of water to An Yuanzhi to drink.

An Yuanzhi drank water and said, "I know, my father has already taken my eldest brother and second brother to the East Palace." ”

An Jinxiu frowned slightly, Shizong is angry with the prince at this time, Master An Tai is going to the East Palace at this time, so he is not afraid of recruiting Shizong's taboo?

"Sister, what are you looking for me? You won't be for Wang Yuan too, will you? After An Yuanzhi drank the water in the bowl in a few sips, he asked An Jinxiu, "What happened?" ”

"You eat first, and after eating, follow me to a place," An Jinxiu set the meal for An Yuanzhi on the small table in the kitchen.

An Yuanzhi said, "If you don't make it clear, can I eat this meal with peace of mind?" ”

An Jinxiu sat opposite An Yuanzhi and whispered, "Wang Yuan's two sons who stayed in Kyoto must have also been arrested." ”

An Yuanzhi said: "Are you really for Wang Yuan? ”

"I don't know him, have you seen him?"

"I bought land with the Wang family from his housekeeper, and I haven't met the master of the Wang family."

An Jinxiu sandwiched a chopstick dish for An Yuanzhi, "Wang Yuanwei has been a general for many years, my sister heard that he has a lot of dead soldiers in his family, this time the Wang family is down, if no one buys the slaves of the Wang family, they will definitely be executed, if these dead soldiers are bought and used as slaves, or killed, isn't it a pity?" ”

An Yuanzhi opened his mouth and stammered, "Do you want to buy a dead soldier?" Since these people are the dead soldiers of the Wang family, how can they be loyal to others? ”

An Jinxiu and An Yuanzhi hurriedly had dinner, and let Shangguan Rui and the purple mandarin who rushed back to take care of the house, An Yuanzhi himself drove the newly added carriage of the Shangguan family, and took An Jinxiu to the cell of Dali Temple in the east city of Kyoto.

An Yuanzhi was walking on the road and still saying to An Jinxiu, "Sister, do you really want to buy someone?" The money you've saved is hard-earned money, does it have to be like this? ”

"If you want to join the army in the future, isn't it good to have a loyal helper by your side?" An Jinxiu said to An Yuanzhi, "If you don't like it, you can use it for your brother-in-law." ”

An Yuanzhi said, "Let's go like this, will the people from Dali Temple release people?" ”

"As long as the slaves of the criminal ministers are the subjects of Qi Shun, they can be bought, as long as we spend money, how can Dali Temple not let people go?" An Jinxiu lowered the curtain of the carriage, "You don't have to worry, even if we can't buy these people, it's good for us to buy some servants to go home." ”

An Yuanzhi stopped talking, buying a sin slave is much cheaper than buying a slave in the market, but praying for a sin slave is unlucky, and it will be against the fortune of the new master's family, so no matter how cheap the sin slave is, ordinary people will not buy it. An Yuanzhi didn't believe in the number of fate, and naturally he wouldn't believe it, after beating the horse, An Yuanzhi said to An Jinxiu who was sitting in the carriage, "I'll drive the horse faster, sister, sit firm." ”

It was already dusk, and there were still a lot of pedestrians on the street, many of whom were hurrying home. An Yuanzhi had the intention to drive the horse faster, but the pedestrians on the street were bustling, and he could only stop and go, and the speed of the road could not come up.

An Jinxiu sat in the carriage and thought carefully. In the previous life, Wang Yuan raised the dead soldiers, but Bai Chengze wanted to get his hands, but that time Bai Chengze was too late, after Bai Yuan's father and son were beheaded, he ordered someone to save the dead soldiers of the Wang family, and it turned out that it is said that the nine dead soldiers with the highest martial arts have been executed, and in the end only more than 20 dead soldiers who have not been trained have been saved. Just these dead soldiers who have not yet left the school, Bai Chengze will also be regarded as a treasure in the future, An Jinxiu has also seen with his own eyes the power of these dead soldiers, killing people, setting fire and poisoning to do meticulous work, these people can do anything.

Bai Chengze's most powerful killing tool, if it can be used by Shangguan Yong and An Yuanzhi, then the military career of these two people will undoubtedly be smoother, for the two people he cares about, An Jinxiu decided to fight it again, to see if he can save those nine people if he started when Wang Yuan was just imprisoned this time.

When the carriage was still two streets away from the cell, An Yuanzhi said to An Jinxiu, "Sister, there is something wrong on this street. ”

An Jinxiu sat in the car and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

An Yuanzhi said, "There are a lot of officials, and there are not so many officials on the street." ”

"Could it be because of the Wang family's case?" An Jinxiu guessed.

An Yuanzhi said, "Sister, sit down, I'll take the alley." ”

"Still have a trail to walk?" An Jinxiu lifted the curtain and asked.

An Yuanzhi said, "Sister, you haven't run in Kyoto City, of course you don't know, sit down, I'm going to urge the horse." ”

The carriage shook violently as the horse's running speed increased, and An Jinxiu almost got out of the carriage, but fortunately she barely stabilized her figure by grabbing the door frame with both hands.

An Yuanzhi rode into an alley, and there were houses on both sides of the alley. An Yuanzhi took An Jinxiu to walk in these intertwined and intertwined alleys. In the end, An Jinxiu was dazed by these alleys that didn't look much different, but An Yuanzhi told An Jinxiu that they were about to arrive at Dali Temple's cell here in Dongcheng.

An Jinxiu sat in the carriage and looked at the place where they walked, but what she saw was still a group of residents, and she didn't see the wall of the half-inch cell.

"Just three more alleys," An Yuanzhi said with An Jinxiu and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, in Kyoto City, I won't get lost." ”

"You're running around the city all day?" An Jinxiu asked An Yuanzhi angrily, "Don't practice martial arts?" ”

An Yuanzhi said, "There are many masters in the rivers and lakes hidden in Kyoto City, and I am just looking for them to compete, which is also a kind of martial arts, right?" ”

An Jinxiu patted An Yuanzhi on the back and didn't speak again. An Taishi didn't look down on An Yuanzhi's martial arts, he didn't ask An Yuanzhi for advice on martial arts, and he didn't allow An Yuanzhi to go outside to learn martial arts, An Jinxiu knew that An Yuanzhi's martial arts were good, but now she was a little clear, how An Yuanzhi learned those martial arts.

"Gather the directors of hundreds of schools," An Yuanzhi said to An Jinxiu nonchalantly, "Sister, my martial arts are no worse than my brother-in-law's." ”

An Jinxiu smiled and nodded, looked at the already dark sky, and asked An Yuanzhi, "Do you want me to hang the lamp on the front of the car to take care of the road?" ”

An Yuanzhi said, "No, I can see the road." ”

The more she walked into the alley, the more sparsely populated An Jinxiu felt, and she didn't know what kind of people lived on both sides of the alley, so why she didn't light up the house when it was dark.

"It's windy outside, sister, go back to the car," An Yuanzhi urged An Jinxiu to go back to the carriage after the night wind blew.

An Jinxiu sat back in the carriage and walked on the road that was too quiet, which made An Jinxiu inexplicably start to get nervous.

After An Yuanzhi drove the carriage through the two alleys, he stopped the car abruptly.

After An Jinxiu stopped the car, she hurriedly stretched her head out of the carriage and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Then before An Yuanzhi could speak, An Jinxiu saw the flames in the high wall not far away.

An Yuanzhi exclaimed: "The prison is on fire!" ”

How so? An Jinxiu was also surprised, the cell of Dali Temple has always been heavily guarded, how could it be on fire?

"It's not right," An Yuanzhi had already turned his horse's head when An Jinxiu was stunned, and said to An Jinxiu, "Let's go back." ”

An Jinxiu was just about to nod and say yes, when she heard someone knock on the carriage on the left.

"Who?!" An Yuanzhi snorted.

No one answered, but An Jinxiu and An Yuanzhi could hear a heavy wheezing, and someone was standing on the left side of their car.

Almost at the same time, An Yuanzhi pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist, and An Jinxiu threw himself back into the carriage, quickly lit the lantern for illuminating the road, and jumped out of the carriage with the lantern.

At this time, An Yuanzhi had already put his sword against a person's throat and shouted in a low voice, "You are fugitives?!" ”

An Jinxiu took a lantern photo, and there were two men wearing prison clothes in Dali Temple standing outside the car, who looked no more than 20 years old, the prison clothes were tattered, and they could not cover their bodies, and their bodies were still full of blood, scars all over their bodies, and some of the wounds were still exposed with white bones, and they looked like fugitives who had been tortured in Dali Temple.

"Sister, go back to the car!" An Yuanzhi saw An Jinxiu getting out of the car, and shouted hurriedly.

"We don't want to kill," the man who hadn't been put a sword to his throat by An Yuanzhi said at this time, "We just want a way to live." ”

"No fugitive from Dali Temple has ever been able to leave Kyoto City alive," An Yuanzhi said to the man, "You still have to die of this heart!" ”

The sound of chaotic footsteps came from not far behind the car, obviously the pursuers of Dali Temple were about to chase after them.

The man who spoke wanted to move, An Yuanzhi turned his sword, "If you dare to move, I will kill him!" ”

An Jinxiu's gaze swept over the man who was held by An Yuanzhi with a sword to his throat, and on the man's shoulder was a tiger head with an open mouth and roaring. "Are you from Wang Yuan's mansion?" An Jinxiu asked.

After listening to An Jinxiu's questioning, the two men burst out with murderous intent.

"Get in the car, the people chasing you are coming," An Jinxiu turned around and opened the curtain of the car and said.

"Sister?" An Yuanzhi thought that there was something wrong with his ears and heard the wrong words, and they wanted to take these two fugitives away?

"Get in the car!" An Jinxiu didn't have time to explain at this time, but just urged these two people to get in the car.

The two men listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer behind them, at this time they had no choice, their physical strength was exhausted, and they couldn't run far even if they ran.
