Madam, protect me!

I had a nice nap and woke up feeling energized.

Li Nuo planned to go to the county government office, but when he met Song Muer in the yard, she said she wanted to go shopping on the street.

Li Nuo didn't refuse even after thinking about it. Although it had been more than half a month since he came to this world, he was basically at the front line between the county government and his family every day.

There is always a tension in my mind that I have not fully experienced life in Chang'an.

After walking with her for a while, it's not too late to go to the county government office.

Not long after, two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the busy streets of Chang'an.

Li Nuo and Song Jiaren each held one of Song Muer's hands and walked on the streets of Chang'an, looking like a warm family of three.

Butler Wu walked a few steps behind Li Nuo, paying close attention to the people passing by. Occasionally he glanced at the young master and young lady, with a smile on his old face.

One day, if he could see the young master and young lady holding their own children like this, he would die without regrets.

After a brief period of fantasy, he concentrated on guarding his surroundings.

The master has made too many enemies, and secretly there are many people who are watching Li Mansion's every move. They can't do anything about the master, and will most likely target the young master.

…

Song Muer was very active along the way. She couldn't help but stop when she saw delicious snacks and fun toys. She also had to stand and watch for a while when she saw juggling performances on the roadside.

After being busy for many days, it was rare to find time to relax, and Li Nuo also enjoyed this sense of leisurely relaxation.

The sideshow performed on a street corner somewhere was quite exciting.

Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, a woman got into a wooden box, and another man stood outside and inserted a dozen sharp long swords into the wooden box one after another. The sword body penetrated from one side of the wooden box, and then from the other side. One side penetrated through, causing the people to scream.

With so many swords passing through the box, is the woman in the box still alive?

People were shocked and suspicious, but when the man pulled out his sword, the woman came out of the wooden box. There was no blood on her white dress. She even turned somersaults vigorously and begged the onlookers with a smile. tips.

"A good job should be rewarded!"

"I didn't look carefully just now, do it again!"

The common people were also attracted by this thrilling performance and took out their copper coins and threw them on the stage.

Song Muer opened her mouth wide and was so shocked that her sweetmeats fell out. She tugged on Li Nuo's sleeve and asked, "Brother Li Nuo, how did you do this?"

Of course, this trick of piercing the body with a sharp sword cannot be true.

The wooden box where the woman was hiding must contain a mystery. There were similar magic tricks in later generations. Li Nuo had seen several decryptions.

However, these street performers earn their hard-earned money, and it is impossible for him to do anything to ruin people's jobs in public.

He patted Song Muer's head and said, "I'll tell you when I get back."

At this time, several people around Li Nuo turned their heads inadvertently, as if they had discovered something, and spoke in surprise.

"Isn't this the gentleman from the county government?"

"Sir, this is Master Qingtian!"

"My lord made the decision for me when my house was occupied!"

"Aunt Chen's case was also initiated by this gentleman. The son of the doctor who took the exam has been imprisoned. I heard that he asked the Wang family to compensate Aunt Chen a hundred taels of silver. Aunt Chen used the money to open a tofu shop... …”

For the people living on Chang'an Street, they may not know who the Chang'an County Magistrate is, but they will never forget the master Qingtian who makes the decisions for the people.

These officials in the imperial court have always been in collusion with the powerful, treating the common people like cattle, horses, pigs, and dogs, and they only want to curry favor with the powerful. Who would really take the common people at heart, and would offend those high-ranking big shots for the sake of ordinary people?

Except for this young adult.

Whoever takes the people into their hearts will naturally be held high by the people.

I didn't expect to meet this adult while watching a sideshow on the street.

The people immediately rushed towards Li Nuo. However, when they were three steps away from Li Nuo, they seemed to have encountered some obstacle and could not take another step forward.

Four old men in gray surrounded Li Nuo from four different directions.

The four of them jointly arranged a zhenqi shield to prevent these people from approaching, to prevent assassins from fishing in troubled waters.

Li Nuo had never expected that the people in Chang'an would be so enthusiastic. He waved to these enthusiastic people and felt a sense of accomplishment.

This "Master Qingtian" is the greatest praise for these people.

However, being famous also has its disadvantages. Being recognized by the people would make juggling impossible, so Li Nuo could only take them away from here.

"Master Qingtian, walk slowly!"

The three of them left for a long time before the commotion here gradually subsided.

In the juggling stall, a girl ran to the fortune-telling stall nearby, picked up the teapot, drank a few sips, then wiped her mouth and asked the old man at the fortune-telling stall: "Grandpa, who is that person? What's wrong?" So many people know him..."

The old man shook his head and said: "Although I don't know who he is, he is definitely not an ordinary person. There are five guards in the fourth realm on the surface, and there are no less than twenty people protecting him secretly. He The woman next to me, at such a young age, has actually entered the fourth level of martial arts. Even the little girl has developed inner energy. As expected of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are indeed many talents..."

"Ah, is that sister already in the realm of animal control?"

The girl was stunned when she heard this. She thought that she was already great for condensing Qi at the age of sixteen.

I didn’t expect that on the first day I came to Chang’an, I would see that there are always people who are better than me.

The elder sister looked only two or three years older than me, but her martial arts skills were one level higher than hers.

And the little girl, who should be only six or seven years old, actually practiced internal energy. When she was six or seven years old, she hadn’t started practicing martial arts yet…

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, the old man moved his five fingers on his right hand slightly, then shook his head and said, “What a pity…”

The girl asked in confusion, “Grandpa, what’s a pity?”

The old man retracted his gaze and said, “That young man seems to be very loved by the people, but unfortunately, his life span is coming to an end. If there is no opportunity, he will live no more than half a year at most.”

The girl had no doubt about the old man’s words, and sighed softly, saying, “It’s true that good people don’t live long, and bad people live for a thousand years…”

…

Li Nuo and Song Jiaren, one on the left and one on the right, walked on the street holding Song Muer’s hand. Along the way, people greeted him.

This place is not far from the Chang'an County Office. When he set up a stall in front of the county office to try cases, the people nearby came out to watch, and many of them knew him.

Song Muer held a big apple in her hand, took a bite, and asked curiously: "Brother Li Nuo, why do they call you the Lord of Justice?"

Without waiting for Li Nuo to answer, she took a fancy to the candied haws sold by a peddler on the street. The candied haws were made of several seasonal fruits, colorful and very beautiful. Song Muer took his hand and said: "Brother Li Nuo, I want to eat that!"

The peddler selling candied haws was a young man. Hearing this, he picked a candied haws and walked over with a smile.

Li Nuo looked at him and asked, "How much?"

"I can't accept money from the Lord Qingtian, otherwise I will be looked down upon by the neighbors." The peddler said with a smile, handed the candied haws in his hand to Li Nuo, and said, "This candied haws is for the Lord Qingtian, thank you for making the decision for us common people..."

Looking at the candied haws handed over by the peddler, Li Nuo did not reach out to take it, but took a step back.

At the moment he stretched out his hand, the young peddler's wrist suddenly turned, and the candied haws fell to the ground. A cold light suddenly pierced out from his sleeve and went straight to Li Nuo's throat.

Swish!

The dagger pierced the air, making a sound like tearing silk.

He was extremely fast and the distance was so close that ordinary people, even low-level warriors, would definitely not have time to react.

But Li Nuo seemed to have expected it, and took a step back before he made a move.

As a result, the dagger in his hand was a moment later than expected to pierce Li Nuo's throat.

This moment was enough.

However, even if Li Nuo did not take this step back, he would still be fine.

Because just as the peddler made a move, a white hand stretched out from Li Nuo's side, leaving a residual shadow in the air, and grasped the sharpest part of the dagger.
