In the courtyard, Li Xin was reading a military book in his hand, while Dong Xiaowan was embroidering a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but his beautiful eyes looked at Li Xin from time to time. A hint of shyness appeared in his eyes. He had to admit that women of this era were precocious. Dong Xiaowan had already understood that his life would be entrusted to Li Xin at a young age. Therefore, after Dong Fusheng left, he was also extremely dependent on Li Xin.

"Young Master, sir, please go to his study." At this time, a servant walked out of the courtyard and said respectfully to Li Xin.

"Oh! I understand." Li Xin put down the books in his hand and frowned. It can be said that he had been in the Qiu Mansion for so long, but had never entered Qiu Hejia's study. This study is a very important place for people of any era. People who are not close to him cannot enter it. Although Li Xin is Qiu Hejia's nephew, he does not have the right to enter it. At this time, Qiu Hejia wanted to recruit Li Xin into his study. According to principles, Li Xin should be happy, but at this moment he did not have any joy in his heart, and there was still a little bad thing.

Qiu Hejia's study is not big, and the only difference is that there is no other decoration here. If there is really decoration, it is books. There are many books here, full of ink and fragrance. Qiu Hejia sat behind the Taishi Chair, and his official robe was not taken off. He just looked not at all majestic, but he felt a little haggard. His thin body was inside the Taishi Chair, wrapping his whole person inside.

"Uncle Shi." Li Xin frowned and bowed respectfully and said.

"Have you offended Zu Zerun?" Qiu Hejia quickly waved his hand again and said, "I am incompetent. It seems that I can't save you this time." Qiu Hejia's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he looked straight at Li Xin, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Uncle Shi, is something happened?" Li Xin asked nervously.

"The court has ordered the rebuilding of Dalinghe City. Hehe, I'm doing this. His Majesty the Emperor has raised the field class from 9 li to 1 minute and 2 li. When he arrived in Liaodong, it was not to recruit soldiers, but to build Dalinghe City. It's really funny." Qiu Hejia said coldly, his words were full of sarcasm. Li Xin did not answer, but a huge wave was stirring up in his mind. Building Dalinghe City was a certain thing for Li Xin, but the words "I didn't save him" in Qiu Hejia's words just now made Li Xin feel something was wrong.

"But my nephew also wants to build Dalinghe City?" Li Xin asked nervously.

"Oh, that's right." Qiu Hejia's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly: "This is also my fault. I offended the commander Sun Chengzong, and the traitor Zu Dashou was bewitching him. The commander has asked you to build Dalinghe City this time. Alas! I am incompetent and I am ashamed of Ren Zhi's virtuous brother!"

"The Uncle Shi doesn't have to do this. Xin is to be guilty of sin. Building Dalinghe City is the right thing to do. What does it have to do with the Uncle Shi?" Li Xin said dryly.

"Okay, okay, you can understand me, I feel much more relieved." Qiu Hejia seemed to have put down a big bag when he heard this, nodded and said, "You don't have to worry. I have already pleaded with Mr. Sun. You are a scholar and have a decent job. Go back, I will let Jiang Yi lead the guard to protect you."

"Thank you, uncle." Li Xin sneered in his heart. This old fox has been immersed in the officialdom for decades. He said it was so high-sounding, but in fact it was all for his official position. He didn't believe that if Qiu Hejia argued with reason, Sun Chengzong would not sell his face. Even Emperor Chongzhen would help him speak a lot, but he would definitely cherish his feathers and would not suffer any damage to his reputation for Li Xin.

"You don't have to set out first. Two days later, if you follow Jiang Yi and the others, I will give you a letter office identity." Qiu Hejia saw that Li Xin had accepted his fate, and his face suddenly improved a lot. His body, which was originally huddled in the Grand Master's chair, sat down again, and looked much more majestic. He only heard comforting: "Don't worry, I will help you take care of you. It will only take two or three months for the construction of your Daling River to be completed. Once the construction is successful, you will return to me. Humph, then, I will see who dares to cause trouble for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Shi, I feel relieved a lot of peace of mind." Li Xin calmed down completely at this time, and the anger that surged in his heart just now disappeared without a trace. If you don't care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Isn't that the Qiu Hejia in front of you? Although he has a certain relationship with Li Gu, once it is related to his future, what if it is the son of an old friend?

"Okay, you go back and rest first! Tell Xiaowan, otherwise he will settle the score with me again." Qiu Hejia saw that the matter had been successfully resolved, so he naturally stopped Li Xin and waved his hand and said.

"By the way, Uncle Shi, don't know if Jiang Yi and the others are ready?" Li Xin took a few steps, suddenly heard it again, and asked nervously.

"Equipment?" Qiu Hejia's expression changed suddenly and his eyes became even more gloomy. Because of the guards of the government, Sun Chengzong was extremely dissatisfied, and his weapons had not been prepared yet.

"Uncle, I'm afraid Mr. Sun will also say that when I go to Dalinghe City, I'm afraid Mr. Sun will also say!" Li Xin didn't know what happened, and he didn't know that the matter was not resolved, so he whispered.

Qiu Hejia was stunned when she heard this, but soon realized that a trace of golden light burst out from her originally turbid eyes. When she looked at Li Xin again, she found that Li Xin had left the study room. He sighed deeply. At this time, he felt a little regretful. The Li Xin in front of him was definitely not a simple person, and he could see a little opportunity from it. Yes, Qiu Hejia was forced to let Li Xin go to Dalinghe City. Although Li Xin was a prisoner, he should have worked. Even in Dalinghe City, Li Xin got something relaxed, but he could not hide the fact that Qiu Hejia gave up the son of an old friend for his future. If it was the case, it would be possible to cause a boiling moment for him to spread it to the Shilin. Sun Chengzong undoubtedly saw the problem. Since this is the case, I will always have no problem to find you to supplement the equipment of hundreds of soldiers in my guard!

"Hey! I have no choice!" Qiu Hejia looked at the place where Li Xin disappeared and shook his head. He knew that even if Li Xin understood the truth, there was still a gap between the two. This made Qiu Hejia feel extremely helpless and feel a little guilty, but soon, he threw this guilt behind his mind. He was a politician, and he didn't need this kind of family affection.

"Come here, prepare a sedan chair." Qiu Hejia quickly calmed down, stood up, tidied up his body's official robe, and became majestic again, shouting loudly to the outside.

"Hmph, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous." Li Xin's figure appeared at the corner of a pillar. Looking at the direction of Qiu Hejia's departure, a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. Originally, he asked Jiang Yi and others to accept Qiu Hejia's invitation just to be in case, but now it seems that it is fortunate that, otherwise, if he arrived at Dalinghe City, he would not even have a chance to protect himself. He believed that as long as he had these hundreds of people in his hands, it would be impossible for Zu Dashou to plot against him. At worst, he would go back. However, before this, he would have to comfort someone.

"Brother Zhao." Li Xin turned around like a small courtyard in front of the house. Zhao Guang was shirtless, holding a spear in his hand, practicing his marksmanship. He is worthy of being a famous family. This gun was majestic in his hand. Countless cold lights flashed in it. Li Xin could see clearly that there were already six guns in it. In just a few days, Zhao Guang's marksmanship was progressing rapidly.

"Young Master." When Zhao Guang saw Li Xin, he quickly withdrew his marksmanship, walked to Li Xin with great strides, bowed and bowed.

"It's been good recently." Li Xin nodded and took the silver spear in his hand. He let out a long roar, like a tiger coming out of the forest. The silver spear in his hand was like a dragon coming out of water, flashing out thousands of cold stars, and its momentum was like a rainbow. The flowers and plants around him lowered their heads and rocks flew everywhere. However, Zhao Guang opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Xin's every move carefully.

"Zhao Guang, my marksmanship is actually more focused on Xiang Yu's overlord gun, and your marksmanship is actually more direct than your ancestor General Zilong." Li Xin threw the silver spear in his hand and said softly: "So, what will happen to your marksmanship in the future depends on your efforts. Remember, the best marksmanship that suits you is the best one."

"I understand." Zhao Guangxin said convincedly.

"In the future, if there is nothing wrong, I will go to the army to practice. Alas! Unfortunately, I'm afraid you have few opportunities like this." Li Xin thought that Jiang Yi and the others would follow him to Dalinghe City, and shook his head and said, "Since my father-in-law has decided to ask you to protect Xiaowan, you can't slack off."

"Young Master, don't worry, as long as you have subordinates, no one will dare to hurt your wife at all." Zhao Guang stopped and asked hesitantly: "Is it because your young master want to leave here?" Although Zhao Guang likes to practice martial arts, it does not mean that he knows nothing.

"Although I live in the Qiu Mansion, don't forget that I am actually a criminal. The court wants to build Dalinghe City again, so I, a sinner, still have to serve." Li Xin could not hear any expression in his tone, as if this matter was extremely ordinary.

"Then I will go with the young master." Zhao Guang said without thinking.

"I'm not at ease with Xiaowan here alone. You are Xiaowan's righteous brother, so help me take care of her here!" Li Xin stopped him. Not only did he not feel at ease with Dong Xiaowan, but he was also not at politician Qiu Hejia.

"Subordinate to obey the order." Zhao Guang said without thinking when he heard this.

"Young Master." Li Xin was about to go to the back house, but saw Jiang Yi and the other two strode towards him, with anger on their faces, and Yang Xiong's face turned red even more.

"Why are you three here?" Li Xin asked in surprise.

"Young Master, the governor has ordered the three of us to lead the army to Dalinghe City, and said that the young master would go with us. So let's ask clearly." Jiang Yi bowed his hands and asked. His eyes were shining with cold light, and he was obviously already angry, but he was extremely calm, so he did not erupt at this time.

"I was a criminal offender in the court, and it was quite rare to get a life by chance. I have been in the governor's yamen for so long. At this time, it is normal to go to Dalinghe City." Li Xin's face was flat and said, "What's more, Lord Qiu has promised me that when I arrive in Dalinghe City, I will let me do some easy work, which is not as hard as you think."

"The old dog bullies people too much." Yang Xiong said disdainfully.

"Yang Xiong, stop." Li Xin glanced around and saw that there was no one around him. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "People are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads. What's more, he has asked you to follow Dalinghe City. With you here, I believe that Zu Dashou will not do anything to me. What's more, even if the state and the court rules exist, even if Mr. Qiu opposes it, it will have no effect. Maybe even you will not be able to go there at that time. At that time, it will be my sorrow!"

"Young Master, it's not my subordinates that although we have more than 400 people, we don't have any weapons in our hands. Even if we are weapons, when we arrive at Dalinghe City, we face more than 10,000 people, so many people are enough to eat us. We are young, but the young master is different. The young master has the ambition to be absent from the sky, so how can we die in Dalinghe City with us?"

"Haha! Jiang Yi, things are not as terrible as you said." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "This Liaodong is still the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. Zu Dashou is of course very powerful, but behind Zu Dashou there is a supervisor Sun Chengzong. If he doesn't let me die, then Zu Dashou will not let me die." Li Xin said right. Zu Dashou's power in Liaodong is quite powerful. In his life, he only heard of two people, one is the dead Yuan Chonghuan, and the other is the current Sun Chengzong. Since Sun Chengzong has already said that he has saved his life, his life will definitely be guaranteed.

"Young Master, I don't know how many ways to rectify people are there. In Dalinghe City, it's not something that Sun Chengzong can do. Even if he is going to do anything, would Sun Chengzong still cause trouble for Zu Dashou for a dead person?" Yang Xiong said disdainfully. He was born as a captain yamen runner, and he didn't know how long he had been immersed in it, and he didn't know how many ways to kill people. Zu Dashou really wanted to kill Li Xin.

"If this is true, there is no way." Li Xin said coldly with a gloomy face when he heard this: "Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? What's more, it's not a safe place whether in Dalinghe City or Jinzhou. If it can, hey! There will be no safe place in this world soon."

"What do you mean by your husband?" Jiang Yi was stunned when he heard this, looked at Li Xin in surprise, his eyes widened, and finally said, "Young Master is easy to do, but Sun Er has another problem with weapons."

"Governor Qiu will solve some of the weapons problem, and I will take advantage of the past few days to find Zhang Yifu. As long as he has money, he will help me." Li Xin said gritting his teeth: "As for Sun Er, hehe, when it really comes to this point, there will naturally be a solution."

"Of course it's OK." Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make arrangements."

"Well! Jiang Yi, can you guarantee that only a few hundred people will obey your orders?" Li Xin suddenly said leisurely.

"Most of it works." Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and finally said.

"Choose his elite!" Li Xin thought for a while and finally said, "By the way, Yang Xiong, you can communicate. I believe there are already many friends in this city!"

"Hehe, it's better for the young master to understand me." Yang Xiong laughed and said, touching his head.

"There are many businessmen in Jinzhou City, and I believe many of them have gone deep into the grassland. They must have maps on them. You can ask, it would be great if they could buy the maps on them." Li Xin thought for a while and said.

"Young Master is going to go to the grassland?" Jiang Yi was stunned when he heard this.

"Just in case." Li Xin glanced at the three of them, and finally decided to trust the three of them. He said immediately: "The Dalinghe City is the place where the east is captured. To the south, it is probably a way to die. Only when going west can there be a glimmer of life. The grassland is vast, but it is difficult to find us. Then he found a way to enter the Central Plains again."

"Young Master is ready?" Not only Jiang Yi and others, but Zhao Guang, who was guarding the side, also looked at Li Xin with horror. Unexpectedly, Li Xin actually said such words. Such words are no longer something that an ordinary person can say. There is a trace of ambition behind it. This shocked the four of them so much that they didn't know what to do.

"Okay, don't be afraid, I'm just talking. Things may not have reached that point." Li Xin's face was full of sunshine, but in everyone's eyes, it was so strange.

"Yes, yes, how could things go to that point?" Yang Xiong touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said quickly.

"At any time, my subordinates will obey the young master's instructions." Jiang Yi thought for a while and finally bowed his hand.

"So, I." Gao Meng also bowed and said.

"Of course I'm indispensable." Yang Xiong said without hesitation.

"Mrs. Guardian." Zhao Guang said calmly.
