Jia Min felt Lin Ruhai's nervousness and fear, he hugged his arms and even trembled slightly unconsciously, Jia Min wrapped his hands around Lin Ruhai's waist, put his face against the heart of his chest, and quietly listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat. After a long time, Jia Min raised his head to look at Lin Ruhai and showed a gentle and sweet smile at him.

"Good! I will listen to you, let Qi Lan be by my side to protect me, and I will be very careful not to let myself have any accidents! However, I will ask Qi Lan to arrange for two of his subordinates to protect Xuan'er by his side, can you say? ”

Jia Min knows that Lin Ruhai's recent pressure is very high, and now not only does the emperor want to be unfavorable to them, Zhen Yingjia's side will soon raise troops, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not also kidnap Jia Min to blackmail Lin Ruhai, she can't help Lin Ruhai with anything else, she can only obey him, listen to his arrangement, don't make trouble for him, and don't drag him back.

"Good! Anyway, Qi Lan's people will take over the guards in the dark places of the mansion today, so if you need anything, just order him directly! ”

"Don't worry! I won't go out of the mansion recently, it's safest to stay in the mansion, there are the Lin family's guards and my hundred personal soldiers in the open, and Qi Lan in the dark, and there are six strong maids with strong martial arts around to serve me, unless Zhen Yingjia's army enters Yangzhou City, otherwise no one can hurt me! ”

Lin Ruhai gently pecked Jia Min's lips, and then smiled: "It's best if you can be obedient, so that I can fight our enemies with confidence!" I'll go to the study first, the Shadow should already be waiting for me, and we'll have breakfast together when I'll be back! ”

Jia Min smiled and nodded, sent Lin Ruhai out of the door, and ordered Xiaohua to comb her hair. After tidying up, he took Mo Lan and Wei Zi to the martial arts training ground.

"From today onwards, the two of you will get up early every day to fight with me!" Jia Min said to Mo Lan and Wei Zi.

The two sisters glanced at each other for no apparent reason, and then Wei Zi asked, "Why did Mrs. suddenly remember to let our sisters fight you?" ”

"In the past, my martial arts training was mainly based on physical fitness, but now that the enemy is strong, I must also have experience in fighting the enemy, at least to ensure that I can have the strength to fight, and don't be taken down by others before I make a move!"

Although Mo Lan and Wei Zi didn't know Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's plan, they still had some understanding of the current situation of the Lin family, and after thinking about it, they also felt that what Jia Min said made sense, she could have the ability to protect herself, and the chance of escaping and surviving was greater. So, the two of them successively fought with Jia Min, during which they also pointed out some of Jia Min's shortcomings, taught Jia Min a few deadly moves, and used ingenuity to break free from the shackles.

The next few days were calm, but Jia Min always felt that something big was going to happen, because Lin Ruhai didn't sleep in the mountain residence these days, and spent every night in the study. Jia Min has to go to the study every day to visit Lin Ruhai, and every time he goes, he sees that he is very busy, and the kitchen is simpler for three meals. Jia Min didn't want to be distracted by Lin Ruhai at this time, so he came three or four times a day, and then only once a day. She instructed the kitchen to prepare three meals for Lin Ruhai to be replaced with simple medicinal food, and a bowl of ginseng and chicken soup would be added every night to replenish Lin Ruhai's body, for fear that he would damage his roots because of staying up late.

On May 18, the day before Mrs. Zhen's funeral, Zhen Yingjia was worried that his soldiers would not be able to enter the city. Half a month ago, Zhen Yingjia ordered a small number of soldiers to be mixed into Jinling City. However, when there was a great drought in the south of the Yangtze River, many victims gathered outside Jinling City, and the government issued a death order, without a certificate issued by the government, no one was allowed to enter and leave the city without authorization, that is, those who came from other places in addition to having a road guide, they also needed to explain the reason for entering the city, and after inquiry, there was no problem before they could get the certificate issued by the government to enter the city. Jinling is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and in order to prevent displaced people from entering the city to make trouble during the catastrophe, it is understandable to strengthen the guards of the city gates.

But this brought a lot of trouble to Zhen Yingjia's plan, and it was originally planned to let a small number of soldiers and generals mix into the city first, and it was impossible to take Jinling in one fell swoop. Zhen Yingjia was thinking about whether he could take advantage of the opportunity of Mrs. Zhen's funeral tomorrow to bring some soldiers into the city, and when he was thinking hard about the strategy, the housekeeper of the Zhen Mansion ran in out of breath.

"Sir! Master! No...... Oh no! Not good...... Finish! ”

"Presumptuous! What's wrong, you're making such a fuss! Zhen Yingjia reprimanded angrily.

"Sir! Be...... It's Miss Qin who has an accident! ”

"What do you say? What's wrong with Huanyan! Zhen Yingjia stood up from the chair violently, leaned forward with his hands on the top of the desk, stared at the housekeeper with wide eyes and asked loudly.

"Yes...... It was the steward of Camellia Villa who came back and forth, and Miss Qin was burned to death by the fire three days ago! ”

"Impossible! Go and call me that steward!" After Zhen Yingjia listened to the housekeeper's words, his first reaction was not to believe that this was true.

After the housekeeper brought the steward of Camellia Villa over, before they could salute, Zhen Yingjia stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders and asked sharply, "Huanyan!" Tell me clearly, what's wrong with Huanyan? ”

"My lord spares his life! It's the slave who didn't take good care of Miss Qin! ”

"Say it quickly!" Zhen Yingjia shouted as if he was crazy and shook the steward's shoulder vigorously.

"Yes! Be! Be! Three days ago, a fire suddenly broke out in the yard where Miss Qin lived, and the fire was already very strong when she found it, plus the wind was very strong that night, and the whole yard was flooded by the fire after a while, and only a little maid who was waiting by Miss Qin's side rushed out of the yard, and she was seriously injured by the fire, and now she has not woken up! ”

Zhen Yingjia felt that the world was spinning, he staggered to the chair to do it, and then resisted the urge to kill and asked: "What happened three days ago, why did you only report it today!" ”

"Sir! It's not that the minions don't come to report! The slave asked people to enter the city that night to report, but the people who came back said that they couldn't enter the city without a certificate issued by the government! The minions still spent a lot of money to get a merchant from out of town to bring the minions into the city as a householder! ”

Zhen Yingjia closed his eyes and was silent, and the clenched hands were all revealing white joints, revealing how uncalm he was in his heart at this time.

"You go down first!" Zhen Yingjia instructed the housekeeper after the steward retired: "I don't want to see this person!" ”

The housekeeper secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Zhen Yingjia, then whispered yes and retreated lightly. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
