The Prince of Rebirth

The hot spring village is built on a winding mountain, covering a vast area, and it is easy to accommodate an army. However, it is extremely difficult to hide an army in full view, let alone when the emperor is determined to find those people. However, Xia Jin was not worried at all - he remembered that these people had appeared on Zhuangzi without anyone noticing.

The control of the people under the emperor's feet is always stronger, and the household registration management is extremely strict. Not only in the city, but even in the villages and villages outside the city, village chiefs regularly come to check the population and register it. Bringing such a relatively small army into Zhuangzi and staying there for six years or even longer is an impossible thing in itself, but the Lin family managed it.

At first, Xia Jin thought that people were brought in from the secret road in the back mountain, but the exit of the secret road could not leave the Gyeonggi area, so they would still be investigated. There are so many people on the ground, so the main part of this army can only be formed by people in the capital.

The population of each household in Beijing is kept on record at the household department and is updated every two years. It is impossible to select from ordinary households. The only way to concentrate is to recruit from unusual places. The so-called unusual places must be in the prime of life Concentration of men is an extremely common and common phenomenon, and the combination of two phases and one, Xia Jin can't help but think of the Buddhist food that brought down Xia's family back then.

The monastery is a very good place for Tibetans. A large number of middle-aged men who are not productive are gathered in one place, and there are also a considerable number of monks who can be trained in a legitimate way. Therefore, if Xia Jin rebelled, he would also start from here He started to attack, but Xia Jin dispelled the idea of ​​King Dingyuan colluding with the temple people when the Buddha's food was released earlier. A stick, which was put on the table to tell the emperor that they were in collusion with the temple, but now that I think about it, this is a good way to beat the west—let the emperor pay attention to the temple, but leave another place where there are many strong men. the back of the head.

Looking at the princess, Xia Jin suddenly felt that the couple was terribly shrewd and had been tricked by such people all the year round. The life in the palace was really difficult. No wonder he tried everything possible to deal with the Lin family for so many years. .

"Why are you looking at me again?"

The princess touched her cheek,

"Damn it, I'm a married woman after all, where are you going to put me so boldly?"

A certain person gave a coquettish and domineering look, which made Xia Jin tremble in fright.

The soldiers filed in with torches, and they didn't care about the collision at this time. Everyone, regardless of gender, master and servant, gathered in one place. Xia Jin helped Mrs. Zhang to stand in the crowd, because she was very close to the princess. Then he was surrounded by the servants.Lin Hang, Jing Zhaoyin, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Li, the commander of the imperial guards, stepped up to the princess. A road was automatically separated from the crowd for the three of them to pass, until the most central people were exposed.

"My subordinate Zhao Shijie (Li Hai) has seen the princess."

Princess Dingyuan has a royal order, so she accepted the salutes of these two without any hesitation, and only after they finished the salutes did she say in a very easy-going way:

"You two adults don't need to be too polite."

Zhao Shijie & Li Hai: ...

"The two of us were ordered to arrest the assassin, and we had no choice but to disturb the cleanliness of the house. I hope the princess will not take the blame for any offense."

Zhao Shijie bowed his hands again to make amends, and the princess still accepted it with a smile, and added generously when it was over:

"Master Zhao doesn't need to worry too much about the matter of being loyal to the king, just search it. It's better to catch the thief earlier. Don't let the thief come once—you still have to worry about the next time."

The concubine was still smiling, but the sudden sharp eyes made it obvious that her whole aura had changed dramatically compared to just now. The adults are a little overwhelmed.

"That's natural. I will definitely not let the thief go. Please rest assured that the main hall just happened to be vacated after the search. Please move back with everyone in the house. It is very cold at night. It's not easy to explain what happens when you come down from an official position."

"Master Zhao is still very considerate. Hang'er, you, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li stand guard. If you need our help, just agree. Don't delay the business of the two lords."

"Yes, my child remembered it."

The concubine calmly gave orders, and then led Xia Jin's mother and son and maidservant to the hall without any hesitation, leaving only some small nurses to toss around with Zhao Shijie and Li Hai.Seeing that Princess Dingyuan cooperated so well with the two men who brought the soldiers, their hearts started to beat. After all, before they came, they were ordered by the sage to investigate the hidden soldiers. They are all thankful that the demotion and salary can erase this matter.

Seeing that the person under investigation didn't panic at all, Zhao Shijie and Lin Hai's hands trembled a little, and they couldn't help comforting them that this was an empty plan. There must be something wrong here, yes, there must be something wrong.

**

After everyone arrived in the hall, Xia Jin helped Mrs. Zhang sit down beside them, and the princess also sat down not far from the two of them. Seeing Xia Jin's filial appearance, the princess couldn't help feeling a little jealous, and couldn't help but say sourly:

"Tell me, if you are also a mother, my son is not as caring as Jin'er. Is it true that having a boy is not as good as a girl?"

Xia Jin: ...

Is it really necessary to force him to take off his clothes to prove his gender?

"Princess, this joke is not funny at all."

Xia Jin pushed her back with a cold face. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang was afraid that the princess would hate Xia Jin, so she hurried out to smooth things over:

"The second young master is the most intelligent and lively, so it is inevitable that he is less careful, but it is better for a man to be like the young master, but Jin'er is too quiet. The concubine always said that Jin'er should learn more from the second young master." It’s good for a boy to get used to it.”

Hearing this, Xia Jin twitched her mouth, mother, do you really want him to take off his clothes to prove his gender?

"Hey, who's to say it's not? If these two children can be balanced in temperament, it's just right. One is too quiet and the other is too active. Whoever is my son has to worry about it."

Mrs. Zhang chatted with the concubine in this way. In the past six years, these two women have often talked together to relieve boredom. Mrs. Zhang was a little cautious at first because of her status, but after six years of getting along because she got used to each other, she has let go. It's been a lot, and now I can't see the timidity and embarrassment at the beginning when talking with the princess.

Xia Jin stood aside and listened to the two women's chatter, when Lin Hang was stuffing cotton in his head.

"How's the situation? But caught?"

The princess asked with concern, Lin Hang shook his head, and sighed with great regret when he saw the latter, with that appearance and expression, people who don't know the truth may really think that someone broke into Zhuangzi.

"Didn't I ask you to help there, why did you come here?"

"It was very cold at night, but those two were kind-hearted. They just asked me to come over to warm up the fire and they went to work on their own."

The words on the scene are naturally nice, but they are just driving the host away for the convenience of action and more detailed investigation.Because there are servants in the village, I don’t worry about losing things. In fact, there is nothing worth losing in this village. There is no gold, silver or treasure, no antique jade, and even jewelry is very simple. Sometimes Xia Jin even doubts the princess. In preparation for running away in the future, I packed and sent everything away early.

Lin Hang ran to Xia Jin and sat down to listen to the two women chatting with him. It looks like it has the appearance of a talented man and a woman.

When Mrs. Zhang was talking to the concubine, her eyes would stop at Xia Jin from time to time. Xia Jin looked very good, and she was at the age of 14 years old, so she was dressed so much better than those boudoir ladies.Sometimes Mrs. Zhang even wondered if it would have been easier if she had not given birth to a son but a daughter. At least she didn’t have to endure the pain of mother-child separation not long after the son was born. Moreover, if Xia Jin was a daughter, even Xia Jin He won't be taken seriously even if the family fled in all directions, it's very easy to get away with it, but if you really want to say that you regret having a son Zhang, you won't.

While looking at Xia Jin with relief, Mrs. Zhang caught a glimpse of Lin Hang's eyes looking at her son, and was instantly taken aback.

"Amin."

The concubine called Zhang Shi's boudoir name but got no response, so she couldn't help calling again, unexpectedly Zhang Shi looked at her with a pale face as if startled.

"What's wrong, but what's wrong?"

"I guess I'm tired. I was in a trance for a while, but I felt like I was about to fall asleep. If you yelled later, maybe my eyes would be closed."

After Zhang regained her senses, she hurriedly opened her mouth to cover it up. What she discovered just now was too shocking. She was not sure about it, and she didn't dare to say it to her face so recklessly, so she could only hold on to smooth things over.

"That's right, I can't bear the torment of poverty in the middle of the night—Hang'er, go and ask the yards if they have been cleaned up, if there is a place for us to sleep, that's fine too." I've been wasting here."

After Lin Hang went down to ask about it, he hurriedly vacated a small yard. Since he hadn’t lived in those rooms for a long time, it was very cold and damp, so he managed to clean up two rooms and turn on the stove, but there was a problem with the distribution. .

"Mother can live in the same room as Aunt Zhang. It will be more convenient for the maids to take care of her at night. Xia Jin is with me, so I have someone to take care of me."

Xia Jin and Lin Hang are both past the age of being able to sit with their mother, so living in the same room is unreasonable, but Mrs. Zhang can't forget the way Lin Hang looked at her son just now, and she will let it go no matter what. He couldn't make up his mind to let these two stay in the same room, but just now he said that he was tired and couldn't avoid taking a rest, and he couldn't think about it, so he said in a hurry:

"Jin'er is a girl after all, so it might be inappropriate to arrange her like this."

Princess & Lin Hang:! ! !

Xia Jin: ...

Xia Jin looked at the sky speechlessly, did he really force him to take off his clothes to prove his gender?

Just when Xia Jin was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to take off her clothes to show her innocence, the princess came out to smooth things over:

"It's still Amin who is thoughtful. Hehe, my family Jin'er is a girl who is waiting for a family. I can't let you bastard take advantage of it. Let's go, Jin'er will be with us."

After saying that, he pulled Xia Jin away. After the group of people walked to the yard, they were sure that there was no eyeliner from those people outside, so they kicked Xia Jin into another room. Satisfied, she dragged Mrs. Zhang to resettle her, but Mrs. Zhang was so anxious that grass grew, helpless and uncertain, and embarrassed to say so, so she had to comfort herself while dealing with the princess. Maybe she didn't see clearly at the time, maybe she thought too much. Too much, both of them are still children, how could it be as unbearable as I thought before.

On the other side, Mrs. Zhang comforted herself and still cleaned up and went to sleep with a tinkling heart, but on the other side, Xia Jin and Lin Hang stared blankly over there, neither of them would go to settle down first.

"Miss Xia, why don't you let Xiaosheng lay a bed on the floor to avoid suspicion?"

Xia Jin kicked Lin Hang's ass.

"Go on the floor, I won't be named Xia if I let you sleep in my bed tonight!"
