Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Xie Jin was shocked. He knew Zhou Jin would have arrangements in the mountain stronghold, but he didn't expect that the Black Dragon Stronghold, the number one bandit, would be captured so quickly.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will count the number of people and head to Black Dragon Village immediately. What should we do next? Your Highness, do you have any plans?"

In the past, Xie Jin was very dissatisfied with Zhou Jin, but after arriving in Qingshui County, Xie Jin had no choice but to accept it.

Zhou Jin pondered for a moment, thought about it, and then said: "When we get there, we will take over the Black Dragon Village and discuss with the two leaders above to wipe out other mountain villages together. You can discuss how to clear them out. Remember, only kill the main culprit."

Xie Jin agreed, "Yes, Prince."

Xie Jin went back home at night and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Gu Xirong asked in a low voice: "Husband, is it difficult to deal with the mountain copycat issue?"

Xie Jin shook his head. "It's not difficult, it's very easy. I thought it would be extremely difficult to come here, but I didn't expect Zhou Jin to handle things so perfectly."

"I didn't accept it before, but now I have to! If my father was still alive and someone taught me since I was a child, maybe I could have avoided many detours."

During this period of time, he had been thinking in his mind, why did he fail again and again even with his wife's help?

These days of reflection have not been without effect.

He realized that he was too ambitious, impatient and not down to earth.

Hearing this, Gu Xirong handed the child to her grandmother, and placed her slender hand on Xie Jin's hand, saying softly, "Husband, you have done well enough. Maybe this is the place where you will prosper."

Xie Jin made his fortune here in his previous life, so maybe he can do it now too.

Xie Jin nodded, "Yes, I will definitely do my job well, assist Zhou Jin, and govern Qingshui County well."

Gu Xirong was stunned, "Husband, have you ever thought about..."

"Not thinking about anything?" Xie Jin was suspicious, wondering why his wife stopped.

Gu Xirong hesitated, "You were not convinced by Zhou Jin before, why are you convinced now?"

In fact, she felt bad too, because Zhou Jin was obviously useless and only knew how to write poetry and drink.

Not only did he accomplish nothing, he even lost his title.

Why is Zhou Jin so different in this life from his previous life?

Could it be... Could it be that because of her reminder, the Changning Marquisate avoided disaster, and now it can continue to enjoy infinite glory?

Thinking of this, Gu Xirong felt so jealous!

If that was the case, why did she marry Xie Jin in the first place?

She married Zhou Jin and helped Zhou Jin avoid those disasters. Now she is still the noble wife of the prince.

The Changning Marquisate is so rich, at least she doesn't have to worry about having no money to spend, and she doesn't have to look at other people's faces when she goes out.

Xie Jin smiled and held Gu Xirong's hand. "My dear, after a few failures, we must always sum up our experience and lessons. I found that Zhou Jin's advice to me was correct."

"My lady, with your help and the support of the Changning Marquisate, I will surely rise to the top and will not let you down."

Gu Xirong felt the big hand held by Xie Jin, which was a bit rough.

Looking at Xie Jin's appearance again, Gu Xirong comforted herself that at least Xie Jin was devoted to her.

But when I thought about how Zhou Jin was devoted to Gu Xiling, he didn't have any concubines in the backyard, let alone a maid.

In his previous life, Zhou Jin was a woman, and then another woman. What was going on?

Is she not good enough?

"Husband, I believe you." Gu Xirong lowered her head with a complicated look in her eyes.

The next morning, Xie Jin counted the number of people, changed into casual clothes, and went to Heilongzhai with Chen Liu and others.

The sixth in command, Chen Ju, had already laid down, and Meng Jue wasn't much better off.

"Seventh brother, do you think we will die?" Chen Ju asked, wanting to raise his hand, but finding that he couldn't.

Meng Jue shook his head. "I don't think he will die. When the county magistrate catches a bandit, he will chop off his head unless he is a heinous criminal. The rest will be captured and sent to open up wasteland."

"The ones who are usually cruel are the bosses above, and their heads have been sent to us. The county magistrate should be able to see our sincerity in surrendering."

Chen Ju said weakly, "That's good, I hope it's quick, I feel if it's any slower, I might not be able to wait any longer."

Meng Jue chuckled, "Sixth brother, hold on, you won't have to be a bandit anymore. Don't you want to travel around the world? You must have saved a lot of private money over the years, right?"

Chen Ju smiled awkwardly, "I did save a little, but not much. The bosses are all gone, so I won't hide it from you. I did hide some money. After this is over, I'll give you some, enough for us to live comfortably."

Meng Jue shook his head, "Sixth brother, I advise you not to take too much of that money. I don't think the government will kill us, but they will let us suppress the bandits."

"When the time comes, if we have done something meritorious, we might even be able to get a government job. You have failed the exams many times before. If you can become an official by suppressing bandits, wouldn't that be better than being a miser?"

Chen Ju was stunned, and struggled to sit up from the couch, "We...we can still be officials?"

Meng Jue asked back, "Why not? We have turned from evil to good, the government has accepted us, and we have made great contributions. Even if we cannot become a high-ranking official, we can definitely become a low-ranking official. We can then bring honor to our family. In the future, a hundred years later, we will be able to face our ancestors with dignity, instead of being ashamed of them."

Chen Ju's eyes were burning. "Seventh brother, to be honest, I always dreamed of becoming an official, but I only passed the examination for a scholar, and failed three times. I was then kidnapped by the big boss and taken to the mountain stronghold, where I became an accountant."

"Seventh brother, if we can become an official, we brothers will be prosperous. Since we are lucky enough to survive, we should help each other and work together."

Meng Jue nodded, "Sixth brother, don't worry. Even if we are officials, you are a scholar and I am a warrior. We have different directions and there is no competition. So helping each other will only bring benefits, not harm."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Ju, the Sixth Master, was even happier. "Ahem... Look at my body, it's useless. I'd better rest. By the way, this poison is too strong."

Meng Jue laughed secretly in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, "Yes, fortunately we kept it a secret. If other villages knew about this and attacked our village, we would be doomed."

"Oh, Sixth Brother. Qingshui County has no food, but we have a lot of food in our village, enough to last for five years. Why don't we wait for the government officials to arrive and give half of the food to them?"

The Sixth Master thought about it, then nodded, "I'm willing to give it to you, but the government may not dare to accept it! After all, we've all been poisoned, and who knows how we got poisoned? What if the government officials are also poisoned and think we've poisoned them? Wouldn't that mean our lives will be in danger?"

Meng Jue thought for a moment and said, "If the poison was planted by the government, they should know whether there is poison in the food."

Chen Ju was stunned. "Yeah, look at me, why can't I think straight? We'll bring it up when the time comes. As for whether the government accepts it or not, that's their business."

As he was speaking, someone came to report.

"The people sent out by the Sixth and Seventh Bosses have returned, and they have brought back hundreds of people."

Chen Ju and Meng Jue looked at each other with joy in their eyes, "It's done!"
