Chapter 407: Borrowing
He Qingxiao said and inferred: "The other party is likely to attack sweet potatoes tonight and tomorrow." If I take people out again, this side won't be able to handle it. β
"You bring a few people, lest the white girl be in danger, maybe she can catch her alive. There are just so many people on our side, and there is not much difference between a few more and a few less. β
He Qingxiao looked at Xin Yu deeply.
It's really not a big difference between a few more people and a few fewer people, but when he is not by her side when something happens, the difference is still big.
"Go ahead." Xin Yu nudged him gently, "Don't worry about me, I can get someone to help." You should contact Changpingwei as soon as possible, and you can rest assured when a large number of officers and soldiers come over. β
"Looking for help?"
Xin Yu curled her lips and smiled: "I'll ask Zhang Zhixian for help." β
Zhang Zhixian may not be reliable, but he must be afraid of death.
He Qingxiao understood Xin Yu's plan, and no longer hesitated: "Okay, I'll help the white girl, Ah Yu, you have to protect yourself." β
"Rest assured, there are a thousand winds and peace."
Hearing Xin Yu mention the two personal guards, He Qingxiao's expression was a little complicated.
In the past few months, he has occasionally been close to Ayu, and the last thing he wants to see is these two.
As soon as He Qingxiao left, Xin Yu went to see Zhang Zhixian.
"Master Zhang, do you have any clues about the assassins?" Xin Yu asked knowingly.
This is also a psychological tactic before negotiation, if the other party is responsible for the matter is not done well, and it is easier to make the other party agree to another request.
Zhang Zhixian looked apologetic: "It's still investigating." The assassin is a new face, and his origin has not been found out yet, so please be forgiving Miss Xin for a while......"
Zhang Zhixian said politely, secretly slandering: What happened at noon yesterday, I came to ask early this morning, the landlord is not so strict with the tenants.
"Just look into it slowly. But there is one thing that urgently needs the help of Master Zhang. β
"Miss Xin, please speak."
"I'm worried that the mastermind behind the scenes is here for the crops we planted, and I want to borrow some manpower from Master Zhang to protect the fields."
Goda?
Zhang Zhixian's expression was not well controlled for a moment.
Speaking of which, he had long been curious about what these ancestors were busy with when they came to their corner from the capital.
The fifteen acres of land were all planted with grass and vines, and he sent someone to inquire quietly from the hired farmers, saying that it was a kind of wild grass vine called spring root vine, which was very common on the edge of the forest.
A princess, a marquis, a royal history, plus the great eunuch around the emperor, came all the way here to plant weeds?
Zhang Zhixian didn't believe it at all, so he secretly wrote a letter to his friends in Beijing to inquire about it, and found out a little news.
A friend replied that it was rumored in Beijing that Miss Xin quietly left the capital to find a piece of feng shui treasure land to plant a cash cow.
For this statement, if he hadn't seen with his own eyes that the dozen acres of land were full of grass and vines, he might have believed it......
"Lord Zhang may be curious, why those dozen acres of grass and vines are so valued." Xin Yu looked at Zhang Zhixian's reaction and smiled, "Originally, I wanted to tell Lord Zhang when I first came to your place, but I was ordered by the emperor to act secretly and not spread the word, and I hope Lord Zhang understands." β
"Understand, understand." Zhang Zhixian sneered.
"These dozen acres of land are cherished very much today, and I will come to see them in person when the harvest comes."
When Zhang Zhixian heard this, he was shocked: "Will you come today?" β
"Hmm." Xin Yu nodded, his tone calm, "I said it before leaving." β
It was a lie, but she guessed that the man might really go south for the sweet potato.
Zhang Zhixian couldn't imagine that the girl in front of him would come with her mouth open her mouth about the emperor's nonsense, and immediately believed it, excited and worried: "If you come to Wen County today, it will be a great blessing for Wen County......
Xin Yu waited for Zhang Zhixian to finish being excited, and sighed: "But if something goes wrong in these fields, we don't have to say that we will be punished." With today's attention, it will be difficult for the top and bottom of the noble government to escape punishment, such as Lord Zhang, I am afraid that the principals will lose their officials at least and be punished with capital at the worstββ"
Zhang Zhixian's face turned pale, and his excitement turned into horror: "Miss Xin, are these fields really so important?" β
Xin Yu raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, how could we leave the capital and choose the feng shui treasure of your county." β
Zhang Zhixian slapped his thigh: That's right!
Xinyu: "......"
"Miss Xin." Zhang Zhixian subconsciously lowered his voice, looking mysterious, "The ones you planted are -"
Saying that it was a cash cow really made him feel a little mentally retarded, and he paused and asked, "Treasures?" β
Xin Yu curled her lips and said with a smile: "Almost, it is a treasure that is much more precious than Master Zhang can imagine, and it is a treasure that Jinshang is willing to empty the treasury in exchange." β
Zhang Zhixian straightened his eyes when he heard this, and then a cold sweat broke out, and he kept raising his hand to wipe his forehead.
If something happens to such a treasure, I'm afraid it won't be enough to dismiss the official and lose his head, maybe he will punish the nine clans!
"We didn't bring a lot of people with us to keep a low profile. Yesterday I was assassinated, and I was worried that those people would attack the idea of those fields, so I had to borrow someone from Mr. Zhang to guard the fields for a few days. β
"Just how many days?"
Xin Yu jaw head.
Zhang Zhixian took a deep breath and asked, "Miss Xin, do you think two hundred people are enough?" β
Xin Yu looked surprised: "Can you mobilize so many people?" β
There are not so many county officials.
"It's only a few days, no problem."
There are not enough servants, others come to make up, and the lives of his family can't be careless!
"Then thank you, Master Zhang. When the treasure is successfully harvested, I will explain Mr. Zhang's contribution to today. β
"It should be, it's all what the lower officials should do."
So when Xin Yu went back, he first brought dozens of people and one county.
It is possible that these officials in Zhang Zhixian colluded with those people, but let them understand that once something happens to the sweet potato field, the whole family will be in great trouble, and no matter how reluctant they are, they can only help guard the fields. After all, those people are in the dark, Zhang Zhixian and others are in the light, and once something happens, they can't escape the wrath of the Son of Heaven.
On the way to the Changping Guardhouse, the three of them rode horses and galloped, and the woman in the front in a moon-white suit was Bai Ying.
She rode a jujube red horse, because she was reminded by Xinyu before she set off, and the moment she felt that something was wrong, she took off into the air and landed steadily.
The horse neighed and tripped over the tripping rope and fell to the ground. At the same time, more than a dozen figures flashed out from both sides of the road and slashed towards the three Bai Ying who fell from their horses.
These dozen or so people were dressed in black and masked, armed with machetes, dressed as robbers in the world's impression, but they did not say a word after surrounding them, and the knives were ruthless.
Although Bai Ying is a woman, she has inherited her mother's talent, and she has practiced hard since childhood, so she can be regarded as a master.
And these more than ten masked people are not mediocre, in the case of an absolute advantage in numbers, the two sides only fought for a cup of tea, and one of them was injured.
Bai Ying listened to the screams of his subordinates, gritted his teeth and shook a knife, taking advantage of the gap where several people on the other side were dodging, he flew out and ran forward.
She didn't care about the lives of her subordinates, but the task was more important.
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Ying was covered in blood and looked coldly at the approaching people.
