At the end of Yin hour, the sky was slightly bright.
Xu Yin sat by the river and watched the guards go into the water to fish for people.
There was a layer of mist floating on the river and it was chilly. She tightened her collar.
The guard captain then asked: "Miss Third, why don't you go back first? I'm here to keep an eye on you."
Xu Yin shook his head: "It's not enough time."
The captain said no more: "Yes."
"Master! Master!" A shout came from the other end of the road. They turned their heads and saw someone running over, panting, carrying two large packages on his back, swaying every step he took, and looking like he was about to fall down at any moment.
Xu Yin looked at this man with sympathy. It was not easy to run here from where the horse was robbed with his legs.
Then, when he saw the situation by the river, he exclaimed and shouted: "Lightning! What's wrong with the lightning? My condolences, sir!"
The young master he spoke of had an expressionless face. After cleaning up Xue Ru and his party, he returned to the shore and sat beside the horse corpse in a daze.
Xu Yin felt that this man was a bit strange, and his skills were terrifying, so he asked the guards not to provoke him, so as not to be like Xue Ru, who had already boarded the ship but killed his horse because of his shamelessness, thus trapping himself.
The young man reached out and wiped his face. The horse blood that had not yet been wiped off was all over his face, making him look even more terrifying.
He glanced at his entourage and said, "Stop pretending, I see you are laughing."
The attendant stopped his smile in time and looked surprised: "What did you say, young master? How can you smile, young man?"
The young master snorted: "Are you reluctant to come out with me? Do you really want to run away?"
The attendant answered categorically: "It's nothing, I'm very happy to be able to come out with you." After saying that, he came close to him and let him see his sincere expression.
The young master pushed his face away: "Save it! Dig a hole for me and bury the lightning."
"Yes." Sui never dared to be a monster again, so he took out a knife from the package, found a place and started digging the soil.
Xu Yin took a look and said to the guard captain: "Do you have a shovel in your weapons?"
The captain nodded in agreement.
"Lend him your favor."
This horse is a well-bred horse, tall and strong. It digs a hole with a knife for an unknown period of time.
The captain called the guard with the shovel over and sent him over.
The attendant was surprised and thanked him profusely.
The young man just glanced and said nothing.
The captain took the opportunity to chat: "Where are you from, little brother? Why do you stay in the wilderness at night?"
The attendant answered honestly: "We are from Guanzhong. This time we went out to visit relatives with the young master. We missed the inn on the way, so we had to make do with it for one night."
The captain smiled and said: "Your young master is very skilled, but he doesn't look like an ordinary person."
The entourage giggled and said proudly: "Of course, our young master has been very talented since he was a child. I don't know how many famous teachers I hired to teach him martial arts, so that he can build a great career in the future..."
The captain asked tentatively: "The master's family sounds like a well-known family. I wonder if I would like to give you a special name?"
The attendant waved his hands, looking quite proud, and said: "My father's surname is Yan, and his last name is also named Qing."
Yanqing, this name is very unfamiliar.
Xu Yin frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
The Yan family in Guanzhong has the same surname as Zhao Guogong, and maybe they are from the same branch. But she has not heard of any famous generals named Yan besides Zhao Guogong's family.
——With this young master's skills, if he joins the army, even if he is not a famous general, he will still be a brave general.
The entourage was still talking nonstop: "Master Jun, have you ever heard of our master? It's not just a boast, my master is also famous in Guanzhong. Unfortunately, he lacks luck and has never been able to become famous all over the world..."
"Uh..." The captain looked embarrassed. What is Yan Qing? He has never heard of it. Isn't it really bragging?
The attendant finally finished speaking and added the last sentence: "...Little Yanji, I don't know how to call the military master? By the way, this is the boundary of Nanyuan, right? Is the military master a garrison in Nanyuan?"
The captain glanced at Xu Yin and replied: "My name is Wei Jun, and I work as an errand at the Nanyuan Governor's Mansion."
Yan Ji showed a shocked expression and looked at him with admiration: "It turns out to be General Wei, so awesome!"
The captain waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not call myself a general..."
The young master suddenly interjected: "So you are from the Nanyuan Governor's Mansion, so what you just said about full compensation for losses counts?"
Wei Jun was about to answer when he heard Xu Yin speak: "The words will naturally count, but before compensation, we have to settle the accounts."
The young master looked at her warily: "What do you mean?"
Xu Yin said: "First, we did not shoot the horse to death. Second, you have been hindering us from arresting the person. If you had not caused trouble, we would have caught the person long ago, and there would be no need to go into the water to fish him out. So, you should compensate
We pay for lost time.”
The young man laughed angrily, stood up and said, "Hey! You are such a beautiful little girl, why do you talk so arrogantly?"
The guards had all seen his skills. As soon as he moved, Wei Jun and others immediately stood forward vigilantly, as if guarding against him.
The young man was left speechless by them and said: "Do you want to do this? No matter how fierce I am, I will never hit a woman!"
The guards had no intention of retreating, Xu Yin said slowly: "Didn't you just hit me?"
Who cut off Xue Ru's hair? And who got her in trouble?
"I didn't hit her." The young master said confidently, "She did it first, I just fought back."
"What a timely counterattack! Will there be a fight later, and the master will think that I made the first move?"
"..." The young master was speechless.
"Haha," Yan Ji couldn't help laughing. Then he received the warning look from his young master, and immediately made an angry look on his face and said, "Miss, how can you say that? Although I don't know
What happened, but my young master’s character, I dare to vouch for it, you must have done something wrong first!”
Looking at his righteous speech, those who knew it was protecting him, but those who didn't thought he was sowing discord.
Xu Yin couldn't help but smile and looked at the young master: "The master of your house doesn't pick anyone when he goes out?"
The young master was expressionless: "... Stop talking nonsense! If you want to argue, then we will argue. I am resting well. If I hadn't been implicated by you, how could my horse be stolen in the middle of the night and I would be in such a mess?"
"It's not me who stole the horse! Who told you to tie the horse on the roadside and be targeted by the thief? What does this have to do with us?" Xu Yin said, "If you hadn't caused trouble, we would have caught the thief long ago."
Your horse is still okay if you don’t allow it.”
The young master was angry: "You are shooting indiscriminately like that, what if you hit my horse? I have already told you to stop and I will help you catch the person. If you were obedient, the person would have been caught by now. There is no need to get water."
Lilao!"
"If you don't want to shoot the horse, then please speak nicely and we will naturally be more careful. You said you can catch someone by helping us? Why should we believe you?"
"If I told you, you wouldn't have shot? Who knows if your hands would be shaking and you would have lost my horse in vain!"
The two stared at each other, refusing to give in to each other.
Regardless of whether the truth is right or not, the blame must be placed on the other party!
