I trade my property for my wife

Seeing Qin Ling's resolute attitude, Jiang Xingchen no longer forced her to stay. She put the black bird in a cloth bag and tucked it into her sleeve.The two went to the burned village first, and went all the way down the river.According to the boatman, the child was rowed out in Youshi, and officers and soldiers of the army entered the village in Xushi.From You time to Xu time, it took an hour to go back and forth, and the land was separated by mountains, so it seemed faster for the boat to go down the river.Then the child stopped rowing after half an hour.

Jiang Xingchen guessed that it was very likely that the children who went out saw something they shouldn't have seen, which caused the disaster.Since it is something that cannot be seen by people, it must be extremely hidden.It is no small matter to burn down the entire village.As for why he didn't ask Xiao Jingan directly, if she was willing to tell, she would have told them from the beginning, and there was no need to guide them step by step.If forced to ask, Jiang Xingchen felt that with Xiao Jingan's personality, he would definitely not get any advantage.

Jiang Xingchen and Qin Ling didn't use a boat, but rode down the river for more than half an hour according to the terrain.She thought she was going to search there, but she didn't expect that when she arrived, she saw the lights not far away.Jiang Xingchen and Qin Ling led the horse to a distance, and they flew up to the heights of the trees with ease.

Night vision is not very good, but in the silent night, the sound of hammering is very clear.The place where they stopped was lush with trees and close to the mountain. Qin Ling knew at a glance that they were mining ore. As for what to mine, he had to get close to know.

When the two of them approached slowly, the things in Jiang Xingchen's sleeves fluttered wildly. Jiang Xingchen had no choice but to take out the fluttering pure black bird. When he took it out, something flew towards her. come over.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Qin Ling drew his sword and swung it over.The palm-sized bird with the same black body fell to the ground.

The two looked at each other, could it be that Xiao Jingan raised two?

While the two were still thinking about it, two more, three... more than a dozen birds flew over. These birds were really difficult to deal with.Perhaps the two of Jiang Xingchen entered their territory. After Qin Ling led Jiang Xingchen back a few feet away, no birds chased them out.

The two had to wait and see from a distance. There were officers and soldiers in military uniforms stationed outside. From time to time, someone pushed a cart out of the cave.Many of them included children. Jiang Xingchen squinted his eyes and looked around sharply. This group of people was definitely not a regular army to collect minerals.Even if Xiao Guo secretly collects minerals, it will not use twelve or thirteen-year-old children.

Jiang Xingchen had never heard of a government-sponsored mineral collection here, so if he wanted to find out, he had to go to the county government to check.Mining under the nose of their county government, how could the county government not know it.It's just that the government doesn't seem to be very easy to enter at the moment, and she is still a wanted criminal.

After much deliberation, Jiang Xingchen felt that it would be better to borrow the name of King Xuan to come forward, but how to explain it to Xiao Jingan.And they killed several birds just now... I don't know if it was hers.

The two discussed it, and judging from the number of troops outside, there were 40 to [-] people, and they didn't know how many were inside.It's too much to scare the snake, so I'd better go back first and discuss with Yu Zhesheng before making a decision.

When Jiang Xingchen and the two returned to Wen's residence, the sky was still pale. They returned to the courtyard bedroom, saw Xiao Jingyin sleeping soundly on the bed, leaned over and kissed Xiao Jingyin's forehead, and tucked away the scattered quilt for her. tuck.

Jiang Xingchen changed his clothes into the brocade robe he usually wears, and sat by the couch, waiting for Xiao Jingyin to wake up.After a sleepless night, Jiang Xingchen soon fell asleep, and when she woke up again, she was already lying on the bed.Xiao Jingyin was sitting on the couch looking at her. Seeing Xiao Jingyin wake up, Jiang Xingchen naturally smiled.She said: "Ayin, you are awake, why am I falling asleep?"

Xiao Jingyin looked at her with raised eyebrows, and said casually, "I woke up, let's have lunch."

lunch?Jiang Xingchen couldn't believe that he had slept for so long.She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, only to find that her coat had been taken off and she was only wearing a middle coat.She wondered in her heart that she had fallen asleep so deeply.

Xiao Jingyin went out and asked his servants to bring the food, turned around and dressed her, tied her jade belt, tidied her hair, tied her silver jade crown, kissed Jiang Xingchen's thin lips, and said, "Peace your mind." The effect of the medicine is really good.”

Double entendre.

Last night Jiang Xingchen used tranquilizers for Xiao Jingyin, and Xiao Jingyin didn't notice when he went out at night.When she woke up this morning, Xiao Jingyin did the same thing and gave her tranquilizing incense, and she fell asleep, and slept until noon.

Jiang Xingchen realized it later, and she said in a waxy voice: "I was wrong last night, I shouldn't have gone out without saying hello to you."

Xiao Jingyin nodded, and said softly, "Go wash up." It's quite quick to admit mistakes.

Xiao Jingyin went to the door and called for someone to come, and after a while, the food was served.

Xiao Jingyin filled a bowl of soup for Jiang Xingchen, and carefully blew for her.Jiang Xingchen sat over, took it with both hands, and sipped the soup honestly.I've been busy all night, and I haven't eaten breakfast, so I'm hungry.

Someone at Qin Ling's place also prepared lunch. Zeng Chuxue put her hands on her chin and watched Qin Ling eat, and said with a sad face, "Do you think the princess will be angry?"

Qin Ling swallowed the food in his mouth, pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't know."

If he wasn't angry, Jiang Xingchen also used the sedative, and slept until noon without being disturbed.

Zeng Chuxue said again: "The princess came to see me last night, I accidentally slipped the tongue."

Qin Ling looked up at her for a moment and said, "It has nothing to do with you."

Hearing Qin Ling's comforting words, Zeng Chuxue regained her good mood and said, "I also don't think it has anything to do with me. It's the tranquilizing medicine that the concubine wants, and I don't know what she's going to do."

Qin Ling nodded and hummed.He brought some vegetables to Zeng Chuxue and asked her to eat more.Zeng Chuxue put all the matter behind her, and happily ate.

Although Zeng Chuxue's special drug for calming the nerves has the effect of calming the nerves and soothing the meridians, it will also make the user fall into a deep sleep and it is difficult to wake up.As for why Xiao Jingyin woke up suddenly, it probably depended on her will.In the past few days, she has been guarding Jiang Xingchen, and every night she will wake up regularly or whenever Jiang Xingchen moves, but last night it was extremely difficult to wake up.

When she struggled to wake up and found that Jiang Xingchen was not by her side, an inexplicable panic filled her heart.She staggered up and called her servants, and then sent someone to see if Qin Ling was there, but she was not there.Xiao Jingyin felt that her body seemed to be drugged, so someone called Zeng Chuxue. After Zeng Chuxue felt her pulse, she inadvertently told Jiang Xingchen about asking her for some tranquilizing medicine.

Xiao Jingyin also understood that Jiang Xingchen gave her medicine to let her have a good rest, and on the other hand, it was convenient for her and Qin Ling to go out.She must have thought it was dangerous so she didn't explain it to her. Thinking of this, she was even more annoyed.She is not a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, she can also help if she encounters some dangers, Jiang Xingchen is afraid that she will be in danger, isn't she afraid that Jiang Xingchen will be in danger?She is even more afraid.

After Jiang Xingchen came back, he would definitely continue to investigate the case assigned by his father. She simply asked Zeng Chuxue for some soothing incense. Since she was not allowed to go with her, Jiang Xingchen had to rest well. In a hurry for this moment, anyway, the emperor didn't set a time limit for Jiang Xingchen.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Jingyin saw that she was in a state of entanglement, and deliberately asked her, "Are you going to send me away?"

Jiang Xingchen's face changed slightly, and Xiao Jingyin really noticed it.In fact, he had already prepared a speech yesterday, and planned to persuade Xiao Jingyin to go back today, but he slept for half a day today and concealed his going out yesterday, obviously Xiao Jingyin was already angry, and now he didn't know how to tell her to go back.

Jiang Xingchen pondered for a while, before speaking, she said, "I've recovered, so you don't have to worry about Ah Yin, it's not safe here, I think—"

"I don't want to." Xiao Jingyin cut her off and said sternly.

Jiang Xingchen was a little anxious. Since she knew that it was related to minerals and was involved with the army, it must be very dangerous.The tone is also a little heavier: "Be obedient!"

Xiao Jingyin refused without hesitation, "I won't go back."

Jiang Xingchen pursed her lips, she knew that it was difficult to change what Xiao Jingyin had made up her mind to.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Jingyin continued, "Since you know that this place is dangerous, but you want to stay here and let me go, do you think I will leave at ease?"

Jiang Xingchen frowned and said, "I'm here to investigate the case, but you are different."

Xiao Jingyin snorted coldly and said: "What's the difference? You and I are one body, and in my heart you are also my wife. Wherever you are, I will be there. Knowing that there is danger, we must share it together, how can we retreat alone? reason?"

Jiang Xingchen was speechless after being refuted by Xiao Jingyin's few words, yes, if Xiao Jingyin came here to investigate the case, Jiang Xingchen would definitely not go back by himself first.Comparing his heart to his heart, Jiang Xingchen had no choice but to compromise.But there are three chapters in the agreement with her, in times of danger, you must take care of your own life, listen to her, and don't act rashly.

Xiao Jingyin curled her lips and agreed, she is not a three-year-old child, she still knows how to advance and retreat.

Jiang Xingchen told her what he saw yesterday, as well as Xiao Jingan's bird, which had been handed over to Qin Ling and placed in the cage.Jiang Xingchen told Xiao Jingyin everything he knew, and Xiao Jingyin thought about it for a long time. She knew that Xiao Jingan loved birds, so she was a little curious to train them so well.

When dinner was approaching, Xiao Jingyin went to Xiao Jingan's place to have dinner with his sister on the pretext of being close. During the meal, Xiao Jingyin said to Xiao Jingan: "Yesterday I was walking in the yard with Xing Chen, and I saw a pure black bird by chance. Xing Chen saw me If you like it, you catch it and give it to me. I don’t know what it’s called, my sister, Su Xiying, can you help me identify it later?”

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Jingan's face darkened several times, his expression was a bit unnatural but he pretended to be calm and said, "Okay."

After dinner, Xiao Jingyin led Xiao Jingan to the house where the black bird was kept.As soon as they opened the door and entered, something rushed towards them, seeing the bird was about to attack Xiao Jingyin, only to hear Xiao Jingan shout: "Xiaobai!"

Hearing the sound, the bird circled around the room and landed on Xiao Jingan's hand, Jiang Xingchen put away the dart in his sleeve.

Qin Ling, Jiang Xingchen, and Yu Zhesheng were all there.Jiang Xingchen released the bird on purpose, and she wanted to test whether Xiao Jingan would recognize the bird. Seeing this, Jiang Xingchen took the opportunity and said, "This bird is extremely fierce, unexpectedly it belongs to Princess An."

Xiao Jingan didn't see "Xiaobai" all day, and guessed in his heart that he was arrested by someone.Hearing what Xiao Jingyin said, he was relieved, at least he was not dead yet.She secretly thought that since she could notice this bird, she must know it was her bird, and Xiao Jingyin mentioned it on purpose again, to make her admit it.She also readily admitted it.

Seeing that she didn't hide anything, Jiang Xingchen asked, "I wonder how many birds of this kind Princess An has kept?"

Xiao Jingan heard the words, looked at Jiang Xingchen and replied, "Two."

"Only two?" Qin Ling wondered whose bird they saw in the mountain mine.

Seeing that Qin Ling didn't believe it, Xiao Jingan must have seen another group of birds. Xiao Jingan patiently explained: "This bird is a black-billed crow, a bird domesticated by some aboriginal residents in the far west. They only look for one spouse in their whole life, and they have a strong sense of territory.”

Jiang Xingchen couldn't help asking: "Then what about the princess's other one?"

"Dead." After Xiao Jingan finished speaking, his expression became a little lonely.

Xiao Jingan quickly returned to her usual appearance and said, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Yu Zhesheng cupped his hands politely and asked, "I don't know if Princess An knows who else feeds this kind of bird."

Xiao Jingan replied: "The magistrate of Guning County has raised over a hundred of them."

Qin Ling asked, "Why did Princess An help us?"

Xiao Jingan said angrily: "He ordered his subordinates to kill my Xiao Hua." Xiao Hua was the bird she died.

"So you helped us because you wanted to avenge you?" Jiang Xingchen frowned and dared not answer.

Xiao Jing'an smiled and said: "Yes, and the assassination of the emperor's brother-in-law at the inn that day was also done by the county magistrate, but the person they wanted to kill was me."

Jiang Xingchen smiled wryly, someone was wading through this muddy water for a bird, Jiang Xingchen suddenly thought of Zhezi again, and she asked seriously, "Where is Zhezi?"

Xiao Jing'an replied: "Naturally, it's the notebook handed over by my father. I am the princess of Prince Xuan's mansion, and I will write for my father. There is no problem."

Jiang Xingchen understands, it's all about this, and it's meaningless to ask anyone, anyway, it's a note from Prince Xuan's Mansion.Xiao Jingan deliberately used official script to write on the painting that day, and there was a way that there was no silver 300 taels in this place. You must know that she usually used Wei Bei, Xiao Jingyin can testify.

Xiao Jing'an confessed everything she knew, and she wanted to avenge her little flower.It doesn't matter whether she has a child's heart or meddles in other things, in short, she will not let the county magistrate of Guning County live in peace.

Jiang Xingchen listened to Xiao Jingan's narration, and thought of the mine he saw yesterday. He knew that the magistrate of Guning County hadn't been able to get enough money from the people in recent years. He colluded with the army stationed there to discover a gold mine, concealed it, and exploited it privately.

Xiao Jingan also heard that her brother Xiao Jingping was training recruits in the recruit camp. There were many recruits who were registered, but no one was there.She was curious, so she let her own bird fly to check, but she didn't know that there was no return, so she went to check it herself.After discovering the magistrate's secret, he was naturally hunted down.It's just that the magistrate doesn't know who she is.

If the brochure directly stated that a gold mine was discovered, the county magistrate would have some excuses, and it would be good to hand over the mine at that time, and he could also clean himself up and make a great contribution.

In her booklet, she deliberately used the meteorite to exaggerate the folk theory, which attracted Xiao Huang's attention, so she had to send someone to investigate carefully.She also didn't guess that the person who came was Jiang Xingchen.Later, when she saw Jiang Xingchen brought someone to Guning County, she began to plan to help her secretly.Unexpectedly, the county magistrate found out her whereabouts that day and fell into the river, and the two guards she brought were also killed.When she woke up, Xiao Jingyin also came here, so she simply stayed to watch the progress of their investigation.

Jiang Xingchen discussed with the others, but he still had to report it to Xiao Huang and let Xiao Huang send someone.What they have to do now is to obtain evidence that the county magistrate's private mining of gold mines and the army's collusion.

After Jiang Xingchen wrote the notes, he sent the two of them back to Beijing.

At nightfall, Jiang Xingchen and Xiao Jingyin were chatting about who Xiao Jingan's vengeful temperament followed. Xiao Jingyin said with a smile: "King Xuan is casual, her mother and concubine are typical Jiangnan gentle girls, Jing An's temper..." is a bit follow her.

Jiang Xingchen held Xiao Jingyin's hand, pulled him into his arms, looked at Xiao Jingyin with a frown, and said, "I think Princess An's temperament is a bit like yours."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyin said angrily, "Why, you don't like me like this?"

"I like it, of course I like it." Jiang Xingchen quickly expressed his position.She likes anything as long as it is Xiao Jingyin.

Seeing her flattering appearance, Xiao Jingyin smiled and said, "I like stars too."

When Jiang Xingchen heard Xiao Jingyin say that he liked him, although he knew it well, when he suddenly heard Xiao Jingyin say it from his mouth, his heart still throbbed with joy.A layer of light filled Jiang Xingchen's eyes, and slowly attached Xiao Jingyin's cherry lips. The lips and tongue were entangled, and the fragrance was so delicious.

But after a while, she regretted it.Because the people she sent back to the capital came back with bruises all over their bodies, and the Wen residence was also surrounded by people.
