Dawn breaks, the red sun rises, everything is as usual, everyone regards this new day as daily life, there is nothing special different, but for Changlin Escort, it is a different existence from the past!
All the bodyguards, guards, and guards in the escort agency, a total of 116 people, all died in the battle last night. Bai Ling has been hung at the door, and the two stone lions at the door have also worn white ones on their chests. Burial flowers, the majestic lion in the past has become grief-stricken today!
But after the people in the city saw it, they didn't know what was going on. They thought that the escort inside had died of serious illness, or that the escort was kidnapped, and that the escort was unfortunate! Unexpectedly, the entire escort agency was massacred overnight!
One hundred and sixteen coffins were arranged neatly in the courtyard. More than 200 Qilin guards placed everyone in the coffins. Qin Huairen's body was placed in the hall. The mourning hall was completely arranged. All the Qilin guards left arms All are tied with white cloth strips to represent mourning!
Zhao Xuanyi also wore a white cloth strip. These people sacrificed their lives because of him. This is what he should do! Standing in the mourning hall, he took three incense sticks, lit them and placed them in the incense burner.
Shen Wei came over and said, "Young Master, all the coffins have been prepared, and the bodies of these bodyguards have been placed in the front yard and atrium!"
"I know, Miss Qin...how is it?" Zhao Xuanyi asked softly.
"It seems he's not awake yet!"
Zhao Xuanyi did not speak, but walked aside, took a stack of paper money, and slowly burned it in the earthen basin. "Old hero, I'm really sorry. Things are unpredictable. I didn't expect to come to your house to visit, but you let me I’m sorry for being destroyed!”
In the backyard, Zhu Wenyu, Lan Chuyin and Yulan were always guarding Qin Jinyi. When Qin Jinyi woke up in a daze, she slowly turned her head and saw Zhu Wenyu and Yulan standing aside. All the memories of last night Like seawater pouring back, it all pours into my brain! This made Qin Jinyi heartbroken, her eyes gradually lost their luster, and her expression became dull.
"Miss, you're awake, how are you?" Yulan hurriedly helped Qin Jinyi up!
Qin Jinyi looked at Yulan and shook her head, "I'm fine!"
"Miss Qin, are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll go find the doctor and check it out for you!" Zhu Wenyu said hurriedly.
"No need, I'm fine!" Qin Jinyi turned around and got out of bed, slowly raising her head, "Are you...the prince?"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "Yes, but that's what happened this year. I have lived outside the palace since I was a child, living as an ordinary person, so when I came to your house to work as a part-time worker, it was really for a living! I returned to the palace this year, My father only made me the crown prince!"
After Qin Jinyi heard this, she was not surprised or concerned, but asked, "Where is my father?"
"In the lobby!" Zhu Wenyu said.
Qin Jinyi nodded, then stood up and walked outside. The maid Yulan hurriedly took a cloak, put it on Qin Jinyi, and then followed her out together.
When Qin Jinyi came to the hall, she saw that the hall had been decorated as a mourning hall. Zhao Xuanyi was kneeling on the ground and burning paper money. Qin Jinyi slowly stepped into the hall!
Zhao Xuanyi turned around and saw Qin Jinyi and stood up quickly, "Miss Qin, are you okay?"
Qin Jinyi shook her head, "Mr. Zhao, I'm really sorry for yesterday. I shouldn't blame you. Since my family has taken your escort, I should do my best to protect you. Although I still couldn't withstand these killers in the end, I Father and all the escorts have tried their best, I hope you won’t blame me!”
"Miss Qin's words are serious. The old hero and all the brothers have already sacrificed their lives to protect me. I don't know how to repay you, so I can only handle all their funeral arrangements!"
Qin Jinyi looked at her father's coffin and then saw the coffins all over the yard. She was very moved for a moment and knelt directly in front of Zhao Xuanyi, "Thank you Mr. Zhao, you are the benefactor of my Changlin Escort Bureau!"
"Don't, don't! Miss Qin, get up quickly!" Zhao Xuanyi helped Qin Jinyi up. "Miss Qin, I know that nothing you do now can make up for what you have lost, but these brothers are gone, and their families cannot be ignored. I I am willing to give ten taels of silver to each family of all the brothers who died in the escort agency, so that their families will have no worries!"
Qin Jinyi slowly raised her head and looked at Zhao Xuanyi with empty eyes. Zhao Xuanyi could not see any color, no resentment, no sadness, no gratitude, nothing. "Thank you!"
"Thank you very much. All of you in the escort agency. If I hadn't come here, you might still be able to live your daily lives!"
Shen Wei came over and said, "Miss Qin, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Please say!"
"There are too many brothers who died this time. I'm afraid it would be a bit messy to put them all on the village... Now we have invited Mr. to find a geomantic treasure land. If you agree, we will now start to bury the bodies of the brothers. It’s a pity that we only have thirty carriages, so we have to bury them in several batches, do you think?”
Qin Jinyi looked at Shen Wei, bowed her head slightly and saluted, "Thank you!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei turned to look at the Qilin Guard behind him, waved his hand, and nearly a hundred people immediately took action. Four people carried a coffin out of the mansion, put it on a carriage, and transported it to the outside of the city for burial!
This scene made all the people in the city stunned, and everyone started discussing!
"What's going on? Why are so many people dead?"
"Who can say for sure? This is a bodyguard bureau. Maybe we get into some big trouble and have our family exterminated. This is normal for a bodyguard bureau!"
"Oh, what a pity, Qin Huairen is a good man!"
More than a hundred people were busy all morning transporting the coffin and laying it to rest. Fortunately, there were many people, otherwise it would not have been so fast!
Qin Jinyi watched the coffins outside being carried away one by one, her eyes blank and lifeless. Zhao Xuanyi came over and said, "Don't worry, Miss Qin, these people are doing this professionally!"
Qin Jinyi looked at Zhao Xuanyi and didn't seem to understand what he said. Soldiers specialize in managing the dead? This sentence never sounds right!
"These brothers are all Qilin Guards. Every time they go to the battlefield, hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of brothers will die. They all do the same thing. You are the eldest lady and have never been to the battlefield. If you go there once, you will face these brothers. You won’t feel weird anymore!”
Qin Jinyi said nothing. She would probably never get used to this kind of thing in her life.
All the coffins outside were sent away, and Shen Wei walked into the hall, "Young Master, all the arrangements have been made, we are just waiting for the old hero's!"
"Don't worry, Miss Qin will keep vigil for three days, shall we...?"
"No need!" Qin Jinyi said suddenly, "Let's send my father away from my hometown. Our Changlin Escort Bureau has found and massacred everyone. My father must not have the face to invite brothers from all walks of life to come and pay respects. The sooner the better!"
"Yes! Brothers, come on!" Shen Wei shouted.
Eight Qilin guards came over, sealed the coffin, and carried it away. Qin Jinyi held the coffin in both hands and followed everyone out. Tang Tianli, Sun Yan, and other Qilin guards also followed. A group of people scattered paper money. Escort the old hero on his last journey!
Zhao Xuanyi and Zhu Wenyu did not go with them. Their identities were too special. It would be bad if another assassin attacked them when they went out, so they stayed behind. Shen Wei and Huo Zhigang led one hundred and fifty Qilin Guards to stay behind to protect them!
Zhu Wenyu came to Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Brother, what should we do now?"
"Don't worry, I have made all arrangements. In the afternoon, a large number of people will come to protect us. As soon as the large team of people arrive, we will return to Beijing immediately! It's too dangerous outside now!" Zhao Xuanyi doesn't want to continue playing, what the hell? If you don’t play well, you will really lose your life!
"We can leave, but this Miss Qin...?"
"You still can't forget the girl at this time, right? Which is more important, the girl or your life?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Then we can't just mess around with this place and then leave, right? How will Miss Qin live on her own?"
"She still has nine thousand taels of silver in her hand! She still has such a big family fortune. If she just buys this house, she can live happily for the rest of her life. Do you still have to worry about her?"
"What you said...is correct! But wouldn't it be better if we brought her to the capital?"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Wenyu speechlessly, "Wouldn't you have told me earlier that you planned to kidnap her? As for talking so much nonsense?"
Zhu Wenyu looked at Zhao Xuanyi with a look on his face, "I'm stupid, so I'm asking for your help in this matter!"
"Don't come here! I can't help you with this! Where will you settle down after you bring him back to the capital?"
"Your home!"
"Fuck you! Why didn't you say let your East Palace be released? If you let me go, I won't have to live a stable life!"
"I want to let my East Palace go, but my father can't let me go!"
"Nonsense! My wife gives in? What will I say then? She's not your woman. If I say it doesn't matter, will they let me go home? If I say it does, then I don't have to go home!"
Zhu Wenyu grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's arm, "Brother, Brother Qi can only ask you for this matter. You also know my situation. Now that Miss Qin is alone and helpless, it is a good time. I want to bring her back to the capital. What will happen next?" It’s all easy to say!”
"I don't care! I have to take you with me!"
"You don't have to be afraid! After I return to the capital, I will go to your house and tell your wives, wouldn't this be good?"
"I...?" Zhao Xuanyi still wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe this is also okay. Zhu Wenyu is destined to have this woman. Isn't this why he came here this time? It would be the best if I could really take it back! If Zhu Wenyu is the guarantee, maybe it can be done!
Zhu Wenyu saw that Zhao Xuanyi was silent and hurriedly followed, "Brother, you have to handle this matter. Then Miss Qin will be the queen. If anything happens to you in the future, we brothers will do whatever we want." What do you think of my junior sister? How about I give it to you?"
"Senior brother, what are you talking about?" Lan Chuyin shouted indifferently.
"You know if you don't give me your junior sister, you can do whatever you want!" Zhao Xuanyi said in his heart, I can only be a scumbag to Lan Chuyin. If I take this back, my family will not explode!
"Hmph!" Lan Chuyin snorted coldly at Zhao Xuanyi!
"Humph? What a waste!"
【Canglang! 】The sword was immediately unsheathed. Shen Wei ducked in front of Lan Chuyin. Shan Yue immediately blocked Lan Chuyin's sword. "Miss Lan, this is the last time. If you dare to be rude to my father-in-law again in the future, I will do it directly next time." Take your life!" Shen Wei said coldly.
Lan Chuyin glared at Shen Wei, "Aiding the evildoer!"
"What? You don't want others to talk about your own affairs? Isn't my daughter-in-law just a virgin?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a proud look. It was so satisfying to say such words from his own mouth!
"Shut up!" Lan Chuyin shouted with a frosty face.
"Brother, please have some moral integrity!" Zhu Wenyu couldn't stand listening anymore!
The matter ended with Zhu Wenyu's persuasion. Not long after, Qin Jinyi came back. Everyone was sitting in the hall. Zhu Wenyu gave Zhao Xuanyi a look, signaling you to speak!
Zhao Xuanyi coughed lightly, "Um...Miss Qin, now that the escort agency has become like this, what are your plans next?"
Qin Jinyi shook her head blankly, "I don't have any plans now!"
"That's right, Miss Qin, the prince and I are going back to Beijing. I wonder if you would like to go? Now you are the only one left in the escort agency. This escort agency cannot continue to operate, and you have no other relatives here. , why don’t you come with us!”
"Going with you?"
"That's right, Miss Qin, you have a business acumen. You can manage such a large escort agency in an orderly manner, and you can probably do other businesses as well. The capital is the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a gathering place for all kinds of businessmen, and even the Western Regions of Fanbang Merchant, wait!”
"At that time, you can open a new shop in the capital and do some business. I believe that with the help of the prince, you will definitely be prosperous. If nothing else, you have to make up for the twenty thousand taels of silver you borrowed from me. Come on, I’m not in a hurry, you can replace it within five years, what do you think?”
After Qin Jinyi heard this, she looked at Zhao Xuanyi expressionlessly, "Can I ask, Lord Protector and Prince, why did you come to our escort agency?"
