"It was once lush and prosperous, but it was wiped out after a battle on the border, leaving only the lives of my sister-in-law, father and second uncle. That was the most critical and lowest point in the history of my Xie family."

"Three hundred years of prosperity are fleeting, ups and downs."

He whispered to himself, but reached for his father's tablet. There was a secret box under the tablet, which contained everyone's cause of death and important life events.

In other words, the tablet represents the identity and ending of each member of the Xie family, but underneath the tablet is the story of each person.

Those unspeakable secrets.

Xie Yuan touched the tablet with his palm, but there was no emotion in his eyes, only indifference. After a while, amid the thunder, he asked Bi Er outside.

"Where is she?"

"Jiangcheng."

"Oh, that's next door to Jiaoyang City."

Xie Yuan casually put the tablet back, it was a little crooked, but he didn't care. His indifference and follow-up were evident, but Bi Er didn't say much and remained silent.

"My lord, the troops and horses are ready."

Xie Yuan: "She is already in Jiangcheng and will arrive in Jiaoyang in less than three days, faster than I thought."

Bi Er: "It's because my subordinates are incompetent and couldn't stop Shaozong from finding out about Jiaoyang Ordnance Factory."

Xie Yuan paced for a while and said: "Send Xie Mingdai to Jiangcheng and hold her back."

"promise."

————————

Ming Jin stayed at the banker's house for four days and negotiated transactions with the merchants in Jiangcheng. He was about to leave Jiangcheng and go to Jiaocheng, but he saw the spies flying pigeons to report that Mingdai had left the capital and came to Jiaocheng.

"For what reason? Secret?"

"Yes, it's a secret, the dealer doesn't know it."

"Are there any secret guards of the Xie family to escort you?"

"Yes, but very little."

"That means he won't let me leave Jiaocheng and wants to use Mingdai to trap me."

The father and daughter knew each other so well that Ming Jin figured out the reason without even having to pry twice, and he also noticed the secret of the Jiaocheng Arms Factory.

Her first reaction was whether the Xie family was involved in or even in charge of corruption in the armory.

But from what she learned about the Xie family's secret income, there was no such item, unless her father separated it.

"Either he doesn't want me to participate in the armory's investigation and plans to solve it himself."

Mingjin makes a decision after careful consideration, and finally makes a decision.

She couldn't rest assured that Ming Dai would appear in the two cities of Jiao and Jiang under the protection of a few secret guards.

And Xie Yuan was also sure that she was worried.

"Takuze."

"exist."

"Is your sword heart clear?"

"The Lord's eyes are as bright as a torch."

"Then let's go to Jiaocheng."

Ming Jin put the secret letter on fire in the small stove and said with an indifferent expression, "Let me see who the person who has been controlling arms, corruption and treason for many years is."

"Also, let the Tengu contact the capital's spy to see if there is any reaction from the court."

Two days later, Ming Jin learned that the Twelve Supervisors of the Capital City and the Supervisory Council had also sent out their elite troops to rush to Jiaocheng.

On the same day, Xie Mingdai's boat was intercepted on the Biyou River outside Jiangcheng Pier.

——————

"Who dares to stop my Xie family's boat?" Xie Mingdai walked out of the cabin and looked at the guards on the boat opposite, but she couldn't see the owner. Her bright eyes were as bright as Danshu's in the afterglow of the sun on the river, and she smiled.

"Master, don't you dare to see me? Isn't it extremely ugly?"

She folded her arms around her chest and leaned against the railing. She looked extremely beautiful and looked even more beautiful than she did four years ago.

Girls are at their most beautiful age now.

Especially the Xie family women.

The guards on the opposite side of the boat all lowered their heads, not daring to look again. The smile in Mingdai's eyes became even brighter, but she saw that the other side finally made a sound.

"You are conceited about your beauty, you don't have enough protection on your side, and you don't know how to restrain yourself. Aren't you afraid of disaster?"

Ming Jin came out of the cabin, and after saluting several secret guards, he looked at Ming Dai.

Mingdai looked at her, her eyes flashed with brilliance and joy, and she quickly stopped smiling, but said: "It's just because I know it's you, but you are really jealous of my beauty just like you did many years ago."

Ming Jin frowned and said calmly: "Wash off your makeup and change into more normal clothes before you come to see me."

Bian Bian, who had also arrived in Jiangcheng two days ago, smiled sullenly.

As they grow up, the two Xie girls become more beautiful, but they don't seem to have changed at all.

Ming Dai, who has been waiting for time to be intercepted by Ming Jin these days, deliberately puts on makeup every day, just for fear that it will be too late to encounter a sudden encounter, but this Xie Mingjin is better!

She lowered her face and said, "Even if I don't wear makeup, I'm still better than you..."

She looked at Ming Jin, who was naturally beautiful even without makeup and possessed the extraordinary bearing of a swordsman, and suddenly thought of Xie Mingyue.

The fourth young lady is greedy, lazy and sleepy. She is sour and grateful for the bright moon.

She doesn't want to be like that!

Mingdai suppressed her sourness and changed the subject: "It is true that there are many benefits to practicing martial arts. Looking at your rosy and shiny complexion, it's no wonder that you don't want to miss Shu. You don't want any of the sisters who used to say nice things."

"Even if there is a banquet, you can't wait to break up with me and walk to the 18-step courtyard to talk about whether you want anything or not."

"..."

I don’t want to be suppressed by you!

"Are you sure you want to talk to me across the boat? Come here."

Ming Jin asked people to release the two boat pedals, but Ming Dai did not dare to come over.

"If you dare to take such a small number of people to Jiangcheng, why don't you dare to come here?"

"I..."

"But come here, I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute, aren't you practicing martial arts? Take me there."

"Call me sister."

In the end, Mingdai was so stubborn that she trembled under the protection of the guards, and her legs were weak when she stepped on the deck.

Ming Jin thought to himself, how stubborn.

Women in the Xie family probably have this temperament inside.

"You are running around outside without giving me a message, and now you are taking the opportunity to scare me. Xie Mingjin, if you behave like this, I will tell Xie Mingrong when I get back!"

"Go back and tell me how happy you are to see me? By the way, show off to the two of them that you are the only one who knows what I look like now and how I am doing."

"...."

————————

Boating on the river, the sea was calm, and the two people sitting on the boat fishing chatted, mainly because Mingdai wanted to talk.

"Why don't you ask me about the village curtain? Are you dissatisfied with this brother-in-law?"

"I'm not familiar with him either. How can I discuss whether I'm satisfied or not?"

"Don't come here. If you are to investigate my eldest brother-in-law, you will have to dig up eighteen generations of his ancestors. You even know that he has an illegitimate brother outside. Why are you so perfunctory in your investigation of me?"

Ming Jin didn't say that he checked more strictly, he only said: "I can't see anything wrong for the time being, but I hope you don't like him too much."

Xie Mingdai was surprised, blushed slightly, turned away and said: "Who likes him?"

Ming Jin frowned, but quickly relaxed and said: "You understand what I mean...:

Perhaps her tone was too cautious, Ming Dai turned her head, of course she understood how much the separation of her parents' love hurt Ming Jin.

Correspondingly, the latter treated his sister with a bit more strictness and solemnity.

Mingdai smiled, trying to lighten the atmosphere, and said, "Do you think I am worthy of others' calculations?"

"As long as I care about you, it's worth it."

Ming Dai was startled, then her heart felt warm and sour, but she didn't talk about her own affairs and asked instead: "Have you been plotted against again? What kind of scumbag?"

Although they were very serious and affectionate as sisters, the two women looked at each other, each with a strange expression on their face, holding their foreheads with peony.

Ming Jin said slowly: "Taunting me?"

Mingdai was embarrassed: "This really doesn't exist."
