Xia Jin knew that Shu Shi fainted because she was stimulated, and with Xia Zhengqian there, she was not worried. Under the holy decree, there is no delay in time, after all, saving people is like fighting fire.

"Uncle." She called Shao Hengding.

Shao Heng nodded: "Some of the things you want have been made, and I will ask someone to pull them directly to the city gate." Go and pack your things, and we will meet at the gate in a moment. With that, he went out the door.

"Calamus." Xia Jin turned to Calamus and said, "If you haven't changed your mind now, then go and say goodbye to your parents." I asked Mint to help me clean up. ”

"Yes." Calamus's eyes lit up, and she ran quickly towards her mother.

Xia Jin saw that Shu Shi had woken up, worried that she would pull her to cry, so she hurriedly pulled Cen Ziman out of the main courtyard while a group of people were still surrounding her.

"Ah, Ah, you want to go to the border?" Cen Ziman was obviously stunned by the news, and he stuttered a little when he spoke.

Xia Jin smiled: "Didn't you hear the holy decree?" ”

Cen Ziman opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xia Jin didn't have time to pay attention to her, so she hurried back to her yard and asked Mint to pack her things—in fact, last night, Calamus and Mint had almost packed up the things she was going to bring. All she had to do now was to pack the syringes and potions she had made during this time, put them in a wooden box, and then stuff them with rags and old clothes, and nail the lid so that they would not be broken on the road.

"Sister Jin."

As soon as the things were packed here, there was a hoarse cry from Shu's outside.

Xia Jin sighed and walked out. Seeing that there were crowds outside, not only the Shu family, but also everyone from the Shao family, young and old, came. Shu's eyes were red, and he was supported by Yang. Teeter.

"Grandfather, grandmother......" Before everyone could speak, Xia Jin called everyone again, and then said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive."

As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to her grandparents and her parents.

"Sister Jin. You must ...... Be sure to take good care of yourself. Be sure to come back alive. Shu Shi pulled her in tears and admonished.

"Hmm. Mother, I promise you. Xia Jin nodded, his nose sour.

"Can you pack your things?" Old Lady Shao asked.

"Packed up." Xia Jin knew that he couldn't delay any longer. Turning his head to glance at the crowd, he saw that Calamus was carrying a burden, already waiting behind her. Not only her, but Mint also stood there with her baggage.

"Girl." I saw her look over. Mint's mother hurriedly said, "Let Mint go with you." How can there be only one maid by your side? It's not convenient to pick up something and carry water. ”

"yes, yes." Mint's dad chimed in.

"Let the calamus and mint follow. During the time of going to the border gate. The monthly rate for each person was raised to twenty taels of silver. Old Madam Shao spoke.

Everyone present gasped. Those who originally sympathized with the calamus and mint who were going to follow to their deaths have now turned into envy. Although they love their children, twenty taels of silver is a lot of money for them, and they will not be able to save so much money in their lifetime. And twenty taels is just a month's rule. If the two of them stay at the border for two or three months. Earn fifty or sixty taels of silver, and the family doesn't have to worry about money.

When Shu received the holy decree, his heart was like a knife. I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to do it without disobeying the will. Let my daughter's situation be better.

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said hurriedly: "As long as you protect the girl faithfully, your parents don't have to do anything, I will raise you." ”

As she spoke, she withdrew two gold bracelets from her wrists and stuffed them into the hands of the calamus and mint respectively: "This is for you." When they escort the girl back safely, I will reward each of you with another twenty acres of fertile land, and return the deed of sale to you. ”

The people inhaled again. If you can have a free body, you can also get 20 acres of fertile land, plus a gold bracelet that weighs three or two, and dozens of taels of silver, if you can live, the two families can live a solid well-off life in the future.

Calamus and mint are willing to go to the border with Xia Jin, precisely because of the loyalty of the servants. As soon as Mrs. Shao and Shu's means of buying people's hearts came out, they immediately won the gratitude of the two families. The two families stepped forward together and kowtowed to Mrs. Shao and Shu.

A subordinate came in, squeezed to Mrs. Shao's side, and whispered a few words to him.

"Sister Jin, the guards sent by the emperor are waiting at the city gate. Once we've packed our things, let's go. Old lady Shao knew that her words would be a little unkind, as if she wanted to drive her granddaughter away. But the holy decree couldn't be delayed, he still became a wicked person, urging Xia Jin to go on the road.

"Let's go." Xia Jin put the cloak on his body and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Calamus and Mint hurriedly wiped away their tears, instructed the other subordinates to carry their luggage, and followed out.

Cen Ziman was reluctant, and originally wanted to take a car with Xia Jin, but when she saw Shu Shi holding Xia Jin's hand tightly, she didn't keep up with it, and got into her own car instead.

All the people of the Shao family, together with Cen Ziman, Dong Yan and some subordinates, rode in a car, rode a horse, and sent Xia Jin to the gate of the city together.

At the city gate, a dozen sturdy men were already waiting there. In addition to them, there is also a middle-aged woman, wearing a narrow-sleeved top, looking very capable, and she looks like a practitioner. Probably because the Queen Mother was considerate, she specially sent a woman who knew kung fu to serve Xia Jin.

In addition to them, Su Muxian was also present, standing aside to talk to Shao Hengding.

Xia Jin thought he was here to see him off, but he didn't care. With a slight bow to him, she instructed the subordinates of the Shao family to carry the things she was going to bring into the carriage.

The palace specially prepared two carriages, one luxurious and comfortable for Xia Jin to ride, and the other to pull luggage. In addition, a few horses were also prepared for Xia Jin to change rides.

Xia Jin doesn't like crying and crying farewell scenes, but for the sake of his relatives, he still patiently said goodbye to everyone one by one. Seeing that the hour was not early, I got in the car and prepared to leave.

However, when the carriage was slowly moving forward, she saw through the window that Su Muxian was also riding a horse, walking with those guards, which did not look like a send-off, but as if she was going with her.

"What's going on?" She couldn't help but be surprised.

Su Muxian's position is the guard with a knife in front of the emperor, to put it bluntly, he is the emperor's bodyguard, and the job is in front of the emperor. Some time ago, he took over another matter of keeping an eye on King Yan, and this thing must also be done in the capital, so there is no reason for him to go to the border together.

Calamus has been doing Dong Fang's ideological work during this time, so she naturally knows about Xia Jin's experience when she was in the capital, and knows that Su Muxian wants to marry her.

Hearing Xia Jin's words, she stretched out her head to look out of the window, covered her mouth and smiled: "Girl, Master Su wants to go to the border together for you." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe the emperor asked him to escort me to Shili Pavilion, watch me leave Beijing and then return to my life." Xia Jin said, retracting his gaze from the window and lowering the curtain. (To be continued)
