After the counting, Brother Orion's eyes straightened: "Niangniang, twenty taels, there are twenty taels!" ”

The eldest lady was also stunned: "So many? ”

What is the concept of a family like Twenty-two pairs of Orion's big brothers? Anyway, if you turn Brother Orion's house upside down, you won't be able to make up a silver or two.

Of course, it's not that Orion can't earn a few taels of silver after working hard all these years, but what can be earned is completely different from what can be saved. It is not easy for poor families to cope with life, not to mention that there are always many unexpected expenses.

"Son, we can't take so much!"

Brother Orion grabbed the bag and ran out, and soon came back, sighing, "I didn't catch up, I couldn't see anyone." ”

Orion's eldest brother and mother and son were worried about these twenty taels of Xie Yin, and the two Jinlin guards were also confused on the way to catch up with the large army.

"What does the aunt mean by telling us adults not to give birth to dolls too early?"

"I don't understand, I don't even have a daughter-in-law."

"Maybe it's just a few words. Aunties of this age love to talk about this, let's just tell the truth. ”

The two of them hurried up and caught up with the team.

King Xiu brought a lot of people with him to the south this time, so the quiet return of the two Jin Linwei did not attract much attention.

"My lord, it's been delivered."

He Qingxiao bowed slightly: "It's hard work." ”

"That lady asked the humble job to tell you, live a good life, don't give birth to a baby too early."

He Qingxiao heard this and was speechless for a while.

"Your Excellency?"

"Stand down."

After sending away the two subordinates, He Qingxiao looked at Xin Yu as if nothing had happened: "Brother Orion and Auntie Orion will definitely be able to live a good life." When we have the opportunity in the future, we will go to see them together. ”

"Hmm."

Temporarily put this section over, Xin Yu waited for the team to stop and rest to find King Xiu.

"What's the matter?"

"I've entered the boundary of Lingxian County. Previously, the minister accepted some of his subordinates to wait here, and wanted to take them back to Beijing to talk to His Highness. ”

King Xiu smiled: "Xin Zhizhao is self-sufficient." ”

More than an hour later, King Xiu looked at the two hundred or so mountain bandits, dumbfounded.

"Xin Zhizhao-" He slowly tilted his head and asked Xin Yu, "Are they all your subordinates?" ”

The "some" in Xin Zhizhao's mouth, is it a bit much?

Xin Yu nodded calmly: "Well, it's all of them." ”

King Xiu was silent for a long time, and then pondered: "Xiao Wang remembers that the mansion that his father gave Xin Zhizhao is not big, these people-"

How to raise?

Xin Yu smiled: "When I return to Beijing, I plan to buy a bigger Zhuangzi and let them farm." ”

King Xiu resisted the urge to persuade again: "It's good to wait for the edict to have an arrangement." The capital is not as good as other places, if so many people are not properly settled, Xiao Wang is worried that he will cause trouble for Xin Zhizhao. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Xiu, for reminding me, the minister has written it down."

The team set off again, but the speed was slow because they were pulling more than a dozen coffins.

King Xiu rode beside Xin Yu, and He Qingxiao and Bai Ying followed.

"Your Highness is going south to find a minister, and now that the minister has returned safely, Your Highness might as well take someone to take a step first, so as not to waste time on the road." Xin Yu sincerely proposed.

Originally, there were more than 200 people escorting the coffin of his mother into Beijing, but King Xiu brought more than 100 people and joined 200 mountain bandits, and the team was too large.

King Xiu refused without thinking: "Xiao Wang went south to find hard work and wait for the edict, but he also wanted to do his best for the queen." ”

He looked earnest, and looked at the young man in the white robe with gentle eyes: "I still hope that Xin will fulfill the edict of Xiao Wang." ”

Xin Yu's hand holding the reins tightened: "Your Highness's words have annoyed Wei Chen." ”

King Xiu was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Xin Zhizhao doesn't have to be so cautious. In fact, in Xiao Wang's heart, he regards you as a younger brother. ”

Hearing this, Xin Yu pursed her lips slightly.

The king of the show is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

In his heart, does he really have brotherly affection for someone who is suspected of being the prince?

He Qingxiao and Bai Ying, who were more than two behind, also heard King Xiu's words.

Bai Ying tilted her head slightly, staring at King Xiu's back.

It sounds like King Xiu is very friendly to Xin Gongzi.

She still remembered her mother's reminder before leaving, which was related to the safety of Xin Gongzi and asked her not to trust anyone easily.

This "anyone", mother and daughter know well, mainly refers to King Xiu.

Halfway through, the rain began to fall again, and it didn't take long for the drizzle to form a beaded curtain, hanging between heaven and earth with no end in sight.

He Qingxiao looked up at the dark clouds that were piling up and rolling, and rushed to King Xiu's side with a horse's belly.

"His Royal Highness King Xiu, the person sent by Weichen to explore the road has just reported that there is an abandoned temple in front of it, let's rush over and avoid it."

King Xiu glanced at Xin Yu, who was wearing a hat, and nodded in agreement.

Xin Yu, He Qingxiao, Xiu Wang, Bai Ying, plus Wang Gonggong, brought some guards to speed up.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a ruined temple appeared in front of him.

The horses were handed over to the guards for arrangement, and the group walked in.

The temple is not big, the Buddha statue collapsed, the spider silk swayed, and there were many messy mud footprints on the ground, which showed that there were passers-by who came in to rest.

Bai Ying commanded the guards to inspect inside and out. When the large army arrived, they took brooms and other things and sprinkled them carefully, and laid a mat for Xin Yu and others to rest.

The rain did not mean to stop, there was a thunderous thunder, and the lightning pierced the sky like a dragon.

The dilapidated temple was filled with a muddy smell, and water droplets fell through the cracks in the eaves, ticking and ticking.

"Looks like we're going to spend the night here tonight." King Xiu looked out of the temple gate with his hands in his hands.

"Wronged His Royal Highness King Xiu."

King Xiu smiled at He Qingxiao: "What did Master Hou say." So many people can only spend the night outside, and it's good for Xiao Wang to have tiles to cover the rain. ”

He said and looked at Xin Yu, with concern in his eyes: "It's hard to wait for the edict, the body has not fully recovered, and I will suffer tonight." ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the minister's body is fine."

"His Royal Highness King Xiu, Prince Xin, Lord He, drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm your stomach." Bai Ying walked ahead, followed by two guards carrying ginger soup.

In front of several people, she tried it with a silver needle and said with a smile: "I stared at them cooking." ”

"Thank you, Miss Bai." Xin Yu took the ginger soup and took a sip with his eyes down.

After being drenched in the rain and having no conditions to bathe, a bowl of ginger soup felt a lot more comfortable, and even the muddy smell in the broken temple seemed to be diluted by the spicy ginger taste.

Late at night, Xin Yu and the others closed their eyes to rest, and more than 20 guards stayed in the temple and kept vigil in two shifts.

Hundreds of people outside took the broken temple as the center, and the inner and outer three floors were stationed to rest, building a copper wall and iron wall protection.

The rain subsided unconsciously, and snoring outside the temple came and went. The guards in the temple changed shifts and began to be on duty in the second half of the night.

Under this impermeable protection, a small snake quietly drilled through a crack in a broken temple, twisted its body and swam flexibly, and after stopping and spitting out letters, it went straight in one direction.

That's where the pomelo is headed.
