Chapter 1

It turns out to be only a Zhi

But now Zhi has no strength left to cry, her chest burns with pain, and her eyes cannot open, she is only drifting in nightmares. Depressed, she has never done anything wrong, so why must she suffer retribution

She can't possibly think of herself as a robber! ... But, she really isn't one, she just wanted to ask her ... Then, what happened next, she can't remember, only that a shadow flashed by and there was a piercing pain in her chest.

Before the words were finished, a young man with a frivolous expression slapped him and exclaimed: "How dare you! Am I not worthy of a princess, being the nephew of the esteemed county magistrate?"

With elegantly arched eyebrows, she smiled mischievously like a street urchin and said, "Call me sister, and I will be your brother." Her sparkling eyes scanned the little fellow up and down, and her mood suddenly brightened.

Before the tears could even spill from her eyes, the scene of Shiyu being captured immediately appeared in her shimmering gaze, causing her face to turn pale in an instant. The young girl hurriedly pleaded, "Stop! Do not harm him, we are just passing by! We mean no harm!"

Tears flowed down her cheeks drop by drop. This must be a dream; she was not sent to this detestable Tang Dynasty by some strange ancient jade. She was merely dreaming, and when she woke up, she would still have to memorize the abominable ABCs and solve the annoying geometry problems... and then be admired by the students of Yunfeng School as a genius girl

That was clearly a small face covered in mud, yet the pitch-black eyes contained extraordinary wisdom and courage. Although the little rascal's behavior was peculiar, it was neither servile nor arrogant, and he moved with a sense of propriety. He truly was an interesting character

After walking for a long time, she finally encountered someone... She just wanted to ask that beautiful sister how to get out of this forest and catch up with those soldiers. Why did that beautiful sister scream and then avoid her?

Joking, tuberculosis, that is contagious!

... ...

Upon hearing this, the young girl raised her eyebrows and turned her head away, ignoring it completely

Unfortunately, she happened to encounter the latter, and there was no way to explain the situation. This is because he was utterly fearless, solely focused on following her to repay his debt of gratitude.

Yes, she was persuaded by Shiyu

The little one's mind whirled with countless thoughts, and her bright, sparkling eyes flashed with a glimmer. Before anyone could notice her unusual behavior, the little one immediately and earnestly declined with great trepidation.

The stone in the master's hand is truly beautiful

Wen Tianci knows very well what kind of person he is. Usually, he either indulges in frivolous pursuits or gambles recklessly, backed by a powerful uncle who is the county magistrate of Fengyang. He is accustomed to publicly harassing respectable women and flaunting his power with thugs, earning a notoriously bad reputation. Even the daughters of ordinary families avoid him like the plague, let alone Princess Changping

Lord Mu is as cold as ice, and he does not know why he always feels a profound fear that penetrates to the bone when he sees him

However, a promise is a promise, and it is useless to say anything more. The die is cast, and resigned, she droops her little head. Only Zhi attempts to make a final struggle, waving her small fists and threatening fiercely: "I said it beforehand, if you follow me, you cannot call me benefactor."

The wind gently rustles the leaves, producing a soft "shasha" sound. The little grove, which was bustling just a moment ago, is now deserted, with only Zhi and the little attendant Yu standing there.

Upon hearing this sound, the two individuals, each with their own ulterior motives, abruptly halted their fanciful thoughts. Suddenly, their eyes lit up with astonishing brightness. It is a person! There are other people here!

One question after another was fired off in quick succession, and upon receiving the panicked affirmation from Master Zhao, the short and stout man immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant

I never expected that just this one sentence would make the child sniffle and cry out with a "Wow." "Young master... the young master was killed by robbers, and Shiyu was asleep under the carriage..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhi's expression turned fierce, her small face changing like the pages of a book, and she immediately bared her teeth and claws: "Call me sister, or you won't be following me anymore"

Savoring an apple that a servant had fed to him, Lu Wei squinted his eyes with a look of satisfaction: "You bunch of little rascals, lounging around every day and making me worry, I've worked hard all the way here. Ah, my back is so sore!"

Charge! Kill!

Malnutrition means that the food you were supposed to eat has been consumed by ants, leaving you with nothing, while those gluttonous ants benefit... With wide, round eyes, Zhi waved her small fists, her face full of righteous indignation

Oh my God, where did this little ghost come from? Damn it! Everyone come back! Don't be afraid, it's not a monster, hurry back!" Before he could finish speaking, a scream was heard, followed by a torrent of vile curses.

Without the ancient jade, even the last glimmer of hope to return to the modern world has been extinguished. Mommy, do you know? Zhi really misses you, misses you so much, and also misses my brother, as well as that sister Ziying who always makes me feel like I am losing ten years of my life.

She beat her chest and cried, as she could barely protect herself, let alone take care of such a little one. What will happen to this little one when she returns to the modern world in the future

Carrying the county magistrate who was as heavy as a pig, the poor constable did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly gasped, saying: "Sir... Sir said... said it is indeed so, I... I... will... will run quickly..."

The officials, in a flurry, pushed aside the dense branches, put on the boots they had just lost, and then, with a fierce and cold demeanor, began searching for the accomplice of that little beggar, following the clues to capture this young and naive little attendant.

The eyes, resembling purple grapes, rolled around restlessly, sparkling with a brilliant smile. "Little ghost, do you know how to get out of this place?"

The situation is so dire that it has never been this thrilling even while watching television

Carelessly tearing off the ticket, Lu Wei casually declared: "Your uncle will take charge for you, Princess Changping is yours now"

Indeed, the oil and water have long been scooped up, where would one still wait until now

Nodding in satisfaction, this astonishingly obese fellow finally quieted down. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he suddenly widened his small eyes, which were as tiny as mung beans, and with a slap sent the man beneath him seeing stars, shouting frantically: "Hurry up! So slow, are you a turtle?"

Before the words were finished, the little one hurriedly interrupted. "Shiyu does not seek benefits, only to follow the benefactor is enough"

I have never seen anyone more unfortunate than her

So noisy, is it the birds? ... So noisy ... . ... Suddenly everything went dark, and I fell into a faint again

What is the World Boxing Championship?

Thus, Xiao Zhi Zhi successfully transformed from a girl into a charming young boy

Zhi Zhi wore a smiling expression and said, "Now you can finally tell me who you really are and how you ended up here!" Her tone was calm, and even her cute expression was well-executed. In order to safely exit this cursed forest, she was willing to risk it all, even if it meant being misunderstood and labeled as a wicked person who abducts children.

As much as she wanted to think and be angry, the young girl did not dare to be negligent. She quickly tucked Shiyu behind her, hiding her away. Then, she nodded and slightly squinted her bright eyes, letting out a soft laugh, casually diverting the topic.

But upon hearing the news that Prince Mu was on his way to Fengyang, he was immediately struck by a chill, and with a swift motion, he jumped down from the back of the constable. Grabbing Zhao Shiye, he bombarded him with questions: "What did you say? Prince Mu is coming to Fengyang? Is it the valiant General Li Mu, who has been granted the imperial surname? He is coming to Fengyang? When did you receive this news? Where is he now? How many people has he brought to Fengyang?"

If one wishes to get accustomed, it is not possible to do so in a short time. Shiyu opened his mouth and called out "Miss".

Yes, she is dreaming, without the Tang Dynasty, without strange brothers telling her that she cannot return to the modern era, without the detestable officials and soldiers seizing her ancient jade ... ? ... Shiyu, is he doing well ... ? Such a small child ... ... Why did those officials and soldiers want to hit him? Despicable, despicable!

Upon hearing these words, Zhi was completely taken aback. If she could muster the resolve she once had when she skillfully defended her reputation, perhaps she could persuade this child, but she simply did not possess such a hardened heart, and thus could only remain silent

Damn! This little fool, can't he see that each of these people has a fierce look in their eyes and is certainly not of good character? Is he courting death?

Having such a handsome little boy as a younger brother seems quite nice. Taking him out would surely be impressive. Unfortunately, that child stubbornly refuses to comply with her wishes, adamantly insisting on not doing it.

... ...

It has been proven that the words of children cannot be trusted

The poor little attendant Yu, having just found the ancient jade with spiritual powers, did not even have time to let out a cheer before being grabbed by the collar and lifted up like a small chick. Her lively big eyes rolled around, filled with panic and confusion. When she came to her senses again, the jade in her hand had already been forcefully snatched away.

It is astonishing that such a simple action scared that group of people away! She is truly clever

As the startled black horse charged towards her, about to knock her over, the little girl bounced and jumped, using her hands and feet to swiftly climb up the tree, her face beaming with joy as she shouted slogans exuberantly

Mo Er once said that the jade pendant must not be lost, as it is her last hope of returning to the modern world. She cannot allow them to take the jade pendant, but she is unable to fight against that group of robbers, and tears unknowingly stream down her face

With a single cry of anguish, the frail boy fell to the ground like a kite with a severed string

You!" Turning to his nephew Wen Tianci, he urgently said: "Find all the most beautiful young ladies in the county for me, I want to present them to Lord Mu!"

The servant can work to support the benefactor

I feel very sad

The wails of women and the cries of children echoed through the night sky, as the violent beatings by the constables left the streets stained with the crimson blood of the masses mingled with hot tears, bearing witness to the absurdity and shamelessness of the county magistrate and the brutal cruelty of the constables

Even so, he was met with a furious roar from this brutal fellow. "Are you a pig? I am so hot, can't you fan me faster!"

Hey! This little brat with a face full of dirt actually knows what is beautiful and what is not! The constable who seized the jade immediately burst into laughter, proudly boasting in a loud voice.

Although she missed the fleeting opportunity and made the first mistake of her life, scaring away the timid brothers, only after a few days of aimless wandering did Zhi encounter the first person she met upon arriving in this unfamiliar time and space

Once again, Zhi was being shaken by a terrifyingly bulky figure by the collar, then thrown several meters away, instantly feeling dizzy with stars in her eyes, and her whole body ached as if it were falling apart

Then call her Miss

In this remote and impoverished village, tales of mountain spirits and wild ghosts abound. The child, filthy and seemingly unwashed for years, exudes a foul stench. Yet, a pair of bright eyes shines so intensely that it makes one's heart race. The local officials, who usually engage in all sorts of misdeeds, were suddenly startled by a piercing scream. Instantly, everyone panicked, each one terrified to the point of losing control.

Although I have not known my sister for long, she is not only intelligent but also a perfect person like a fairy, and I have always regarded her as my idol

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter: "Hey, with those worn-out boots of yours, even after a good wash, they still smell like stinky salted fish. If you were to boil them, would they still be good enough to chew on like salted fish?"

The feeling of coolness on the forehead is so pleasant

Suddenly, he felt a stir in his heart and developed a great interest in Zhi Zhi.

Zheng Jing, feeling an overwhelming fear, called out "Brother Mu!" and rushed straight towards Li Mu, throwing herself into his embrace and weeping incessantly

With a sudden leap, he jumped onto the back of the constable, and the plump official with a worried expression shouted in a hoarse voice: "The rest of you, return to the residence with me! Hurry, hurry! Everyone must deliberate carefully and ensure that Lord Mu feels at home!"

"If you know, then why haven't we left yet?" The pale and slender girl retorted sharply, clearly expressing her disbelief.

Indeed. He had forgotten how to exit the grove. A girl of about twelve, a small child, and two individuals whose ages combined were less than thirty wandered around the grove again and again, yet they could not find a way out of the grove

Fengyang County was never a wealthy place, and Lu Wei sought to find rare treasures to present to Lord Mu in order to win his favor. Consequently, his group of "clever" subordinates caused widespread disturbance among the people and eventually discovered some peculiar items, including a copper piece covered in moss (allegedly a talisman for safety), dirty bones (said to be dragon bones), and tattered scraps of cloth (rumored to be a flying carpet)

A chaotic crowd, with two nimble little fellows darting through like mudfish, cleverly weaving among the throng, their eyes wide open in search of ancient jade

Seeing that everything was completely under her control, Shiyu's sudden crying completely ruined Zhi's well-laid plans, making the young girl roll her eyes in frustration, feeling utterly helpless against this boy. She had no choice but to retreat and seek an alternative, seizing the opportunity to express: "Esteemed gentlemen, my younger brother is feeling a bit unwell, so I must take my leave..."

A reluctant shout from Shiyu came from behind: "Wait for me!"

This statement is quite commendable, as it not only praises Chen San but also flatters the various officials, making everyone feel elated. The more they look at this seemingly ordinary little fellow, whose face is covered in mud, the more they find him clever and endearing.

The weather was annoyingly hot, and someone kicked aside a person blocking the way. When one of the constables hurriedly fled, he suddenly noticed Zhi, who was among the crowd. This big fellow, not very bright, was momentarily stunned, and after a while, he finally realized that this was the monster his colleagues had mentioned. He immediately shouted out.

A man with a pockmarked face, wearing the uniform of a constable, grinned broadly as he suddenly snatched the "stone" from Chen San's hand. He immediately asked, "Where did you get this treasure, kid? This is jade! Even if you excavated your family's ancestral grave for eighteen generations, you wouldn't find a speck of jade. Did you steal it? Did you rob it?"

After walking for a long distance, someone suddenly rushed over from behind and handed over a document, which was intercepted by a young gentleman with a frivolous gaze. He paused, carefully examined the document in his hand, and his eyes suddenly flickered as if he had thought of something.

Ah... how infuriating! Where is the stone? I haven't had enough of smashing yet!

The little one fell into a moment of silence, completely at a loss. Just as Zhi was feeling displeased and was about to leave, the little one was suddenly startled by her, grabbing her sleeve, forgetting everything else, and in a flustered manner shouted loudly: "Sister, sister, please don't go!"

"It has been so long since we last met, a living person!" Zhi gritted her teeth and said excitedly. When Shiyu saw her fervent expression, he couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly realized that the more he looked, the more the girl in front of him seemed to have eyes shining like a monster that hadn't eaten a person in hundreds of years. The little one awkwardly shifted her bottom three inches away from her, but still felt it was not safe enough. Before he could move further, he heard a more intense grinding of teeth beside his ear. He suddenly realized that the more he looked, the more the girl in front of him seemed to have eyes shining like a monster that hadn't eaten a person in hundreds of years. The little one awkwardly shifted her bottom three inches away from her, but still felt it was not safe enough. Before he could move further, he heard a more intense grinding of teeth beside his ear.

I... it's not that she is unwilling to help her, but we also need to see if she has the capability to do so. Moreover, the key point is that she needs to go to a populated area in order to find a way to return to the modern world.

With great effort fanning himself, Master Zhao wiped the sweat from his brow, exerting all his strength to quicken the motion of the fan, his face adorned with a fawning smile as he responded: "Yes, yes, yes, what the master says is absolutely right; the student is as foolish as a pig, please do not be angry, my lord"

The yamen runners were unaware of what Zhi was usually like, yet they had certain thoughts about her words: indeed, such a lowly commoner, traveling alongside her would indeed lower one's own status. However, this little brat speaks so pleasingly, and they were reluctant to part with him.

Cut it out, just because the tiger doesn't show its might, doesn't mean you can treat it like Hello Kitty! There are things that must be upheld, and no matter what is said, one cannot give them up. This is clearly a different concept from when she initially agreed to take care of Shiyu.

Hmph, you are someone who knows the value of things. Today, I am in a good mood, so I will not argue with you lowly commoners!

What kind of person has such a temperament? Upon hearing this, Shiyu's expression became even more peculiar than if he had stepped in a pile of dog feces

The bright eyes flashed, and a statement immediately emerged: "The younger brother of a petty person is afflicted with tuberculosis. Thanks to the great kindness of all the esteemed gentlemen, he is not afraid of being infected. I can only humbly comply with your wishes..."

The sweetest words delight the crowd, yet one fears the changes that accompany companionship

Shiyu was so out of breath that she rolled her eyes and suddenly heard a piercing scream that seemed to tear through the sky. Just as she thought that Zhi had discovered what she had thrown and was about to ask her what to do, the next thing that child shouted in a scream unexpectedly caused the adorable, pitiful, and innocent little scholar, Shiyu, to faint from anger.

After a moment of silence, the crowd on the ground was still frantically fleeing. Only Zhi, whose small face was covered in mud and could not be recognized, suddenly froze. The excitement that had just been on her face had not yet faded, and then, a piercing scream erupted.

Scenes flashed through her mind of the jade pendant being forcibly taken away by a group of people dressed in official robes. They claimed that the pendant was made of high-quality Lantian jade and demanded that she pay the official tax. When she had no silver, they seized her jade pendant. They spoke of offering it as tribute to the Emperor. Shiyu tried to protect the piece of jade for her but was knocked unconscious by them.

It is fortunate that Ziying is not here, otherwise one would surely be unable to bear witnessing yet another unfortunate soul being toyed with by the clever mind of her younger sister. Clearly, this little imp harbors ill intentions, yet she manages to endear herself to others to the core. It must be said, this is the unique quality that only Zhi possesses.

What are you doing?" Looking strangely at the child in the grass, who was in a state of disarray and spitting out a mouthful of grass foam, Zhi did not have time to attend to him. She jumped down immediately and saw a poorly developed ragged boy waving a small branch, which he had apparently broken off from somewhere, charging towards the legendary and strange creature—humans.

Upon reaching the depths of the forest, he saw Princess Changping's face pale with fear as she continuously ran forward. Behind Changping, a small, thin boy covered in dust was waving his fists and chasing after her, tugging at her.

Bowing her head, she expressed her gratitude to the master with a voice that was clear and crisp, carrying a hint of a smile. Despite her small face being slightly smeared with dirt, Zhi still wore that lazy smile, which naturally endeared her to others

Confused, she raised her head and said: "Yes, I know this is men's clothing." If she didn't wear men's clothing, how could she survive in ancient times? Women were not allowed to leave the house, so disguising herself as a man was more practical.

Her words were not yet finished, but the faces of the crowd quickly turned pale. Even when they had just fled for their lives, they had not reacted this quickly. In an instant, all the officers scattered, and before long, not a single one was left.

Chen San's face instantly turned blue then white, white then red, resembling a dye shop, changing into several colors in the blink of an eye, his anger visibly on the verge of eruption

Those constables were not entirely foolish; after a moment of panic, they finally realized that the little creature they thought was a demon was merely a dirty, scrawny child, which made them so furious that they seemed to be steaming with anger

Shiyu indeed said that he knows how to exit the small grove, but knowing can also be forgotten

In an instant, a white shadow flashed by, and Li Mu, who had just been at Donglin, quickly returned along the same path.

Seeing Shiyu's small face turn bright red, she suddenly felt the urge to jump up. However, only Zhi rolled her eyes, completely unfazed by his thick-skinned nature. Casually shifting her body to the side, she unexpectedly tore a piece of rag from somewhere and forcefully stuffed it into Shiyu's mouth, silencing his protest before he could utter a word.

What a clever little rascal

Help! There is a ghost...

Fraud! How can he speak so confidently? This is clearly the jade pendant that my sister always carries with her! It is certainly not the so-called family heirloom that that unfortunate-looking fellow mentioned!

Upon hearing this, Master Zhao's small triangular eyes immediately widened larger than his nostrils: "My lord, that is the daughter of the Emperor! She is a princess; would she agree to marry the young master?"

The child was wolfing down the steamed bun, mumbling indistinctly, and suddenly choked. The little girl hurriedly poured a cup of water and handed it to him, patting his back firmly while softly murmuring: "Breathe easy, breathe easy"

In an instant, these usually fierce and menacing creatures began to push and shout, scattering like birds and beasts. The startled horse suddenly raised its front hooves, letting out a long whinny, and then bolted in a frenzy. The officers who could not escape in time fell to the ground, crying out as the horse's hooves kicked them, their cries echoing for miles.

The two individuals hurriedly rushed over, and from a distance, the sound of hooves "tick-tock" could be heard

"Chilu" climbed up a nearby large tree, rubbed his eyes, and with an excited expression said: "I can't be mistaken, that really... really is..." It's over! So excited that I forgot what those creatures leading the horses and moving forward non-stop are called.

A group of people acted according to their respective duties. That night, the frenzied officials armed with weapons broke into the homes of the residents, rummaging through each household in search of rare treasures, effectively conducting a house search, which caused immense suffering for the residents of Fengyang. Some discontented citizens began to resist, but they were met with violent suppression

He pushed aside the small head that was blocking his view, and the little attendant, Yu, had unknowingly climbed up as well. Upon seeing the person approaching from this direction, his round black eyes suddenly lit up.

Led by Master Zhao, the group quickly regained their composure, each one of them looking disheveled and cursing in hurried, slightly breathless voices. Before long, they had organized themselves, and the crowd was in a state of exasperation, having never been so embarrassed before. Suddenly, they heard Master Zhao's sharp and piercing voice shouting fiercely: "Catch him! You little brat, do you want to die?"

The magistrate of Fengyang County, Lu Wei, was in high spirits as he allowed a gaunt bailiff to carry him forward with a puffing sound, while beside him, the cunning Zhao Shiye, with his squinting eyes glinting with shrewdness, diligently fanned him.

The heavens are unjust! ... How could they put her in such a desolate place ... ... Uh, no, that's not right, the birds in this forest actually did relieve themselves this morning, and it even fell on her head ... ...

Go with you? Ha, what an international joke! With Shiyu along, this kid accidentally short-circuited his brain and interrupted his own words. Wouldn't we both end up taking a free trip to the underworld

A gentle breeze caresses the leaves, producing a rustling sound. The weather is hot!

Running to catch up with the crowd, the young gentleman respectfully handed over a folded note, smiling ingratiatingly: "Uncle, I heard that Princess Changping has come to Fengyang. You see, I... I am already twenty-three years old, and to this day, I have yet to marry..."

The lecherous and debauched Wen Tianci, accompanied by a large entourage, continued to invade the homes of the people, taking away any young girl who showed even a hint of beauty, and not sparing even the attractive married women. In an instant, the once peaceful Fengyang County had turned into a living hell

She smiled slyly, her eyes sparkling with a calculating glint. However, the starving child was not concerned with such matters, especially since there is no free lunch in this world. Although the means of temptation were somewhat unrefined, they posed no harm to the child.

"Don't make noise!" Waving her dirty little hands, her throat became hoarse upon witnessing such a "heroic" scene, and she was completely overwhelmed with excitement, screaming wildly.

It was quite a challenge, but he finally finished his meal.

Successfully blocked by her, the child stammered and, after a long time, could not articulate anything coherent. He simply resorted to playing tricks: "Sister, don't you think this place is wonderful? We can eat wild fruits when we are hungry and drink stream water when we are thirsty..."

Zhi Zhi glared at Wu Ling's eyes, twisting her large frame like a wrung chicken, and opened her mouth to bite down on his arm. Without any hesitation, she kicked wildly, causing him to cry out in pain. The large man suddenly became fierce, forcefully throwing the troublesome little ghost in his hand away.

The sound of footsteps echoed with a rhythmic "dong dong dong," leaving everyone puzzled. Before they could react, they saw a ragged boy, covered in dirt and grime, rushing towards them with an excited smile on his face

Seeing the child nod, the little girl took out the last two steamed buns from her package and continued to smile brightly, enticingly saying: "Sister will give you steamed buns, will you take sister out of this forest?"

Master Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and heard a constable beside him complaining, "On such a hot day, we still have to search everywhere for treasures. Digging three feet into the ground in Fengyang won't yield any treasures!"

These powerful figures, such as Lu Wei, can turn a blind eye to it all. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake; once in Fengyang, it is his territory. What of Princess Changping! As long as someone discreetly abducts the princess without anyone noticing, that little brat Wen Tianci will have no choice but to consummate the marriage, making it difficult for the princess to deny her husband.

Zhi Zhi stepped heavily on his foot to signal him not to move recklessly. In the blink of an eye, a faint, inscrutable meaning flashed in her eyes as she looked at the group of constables, and she smiled lazily. "What the master said is quite unfounded. My younger brother suffers from a chronic illness and his mind is a bit unclear; how could he possibly be dissatisfied?"

After a period equivalent to a tea break, he walked straight east but did not see the shadow of Princess Changping. At that moment, he suddenly heard a sharp scream from the woods. It was Princess Changping

Appeal to emotions and clarify with reason. Speaking in a disorganized and muddled manner, she brought out all her tricks, including the Ten Full Nourishing Pills and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw! She could not believe that as a genius, she could not outsmart a little ghost! However, after all was said and done, the final outcome was astonishing.

Fun, so much fun

Zhi Zhi had not yet run close when she witnessed this farce. She stared in astonishment as they stumbled over each other, one person tumbling and tripping another, while another crawled over someone else, and those behind rushed forward, kicking them as they fell, followed by screams that pierced the sky. She suddenly found it amusing and, filled with excitement, rushed forward to join in and kick a few times for fun.

The corpulent master, overjoyed, had his hair standing on end, and his face turned a shade of green with excitement. He praised them for being as great as himself, and bellowed: "You bunch of pigs! If you do not find the treasure within three days, perish!"

As soon as she opened her eyes, Zhi was grinding her snow-white teeth, and the stories of monsters eating people told by the old man immediately surfaced in Shiyu's mind. With a sharp scream, she fell headfirst into the grass with a "bang".

Upon hearing these words, Shiyu's eyes turned red again

After chattering on for a long time, Zhi finally helplessly realized that she could not get rid of this little fellow no matter what. There are two types of people in the world who are the most difficult to deal with

However, now, Zhi Mei is merely trying to please those who clearly do not seem like good people. Xiao Shi Yu truly does not understand what intentions lie in her heart, and she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, forgetting for a long time that the piece of filthy cloth that Zhi Mei hastily pulled out to stuff in her mouth was utterly foul.

Just as the self-esteem of the corrupt officials was greatly satisfied, the officials who had just slipped away and disappeared began to return one after another, coincidentally hearing these words, and immediately burst into loud laughter

"Absolutely not! A mere commoner like me dares not walk alongside you esteemed gentlemen! That would truly be an insult to your esteemed reputation!"

Oh...! My sister must be ill, otherwise how could she refer to her precious jade as the family heirloom of that big, fierce-looking man!

Shiyu, after all, is just a child of eight or nine years old. Upon seeing this situation, he immediately became terrified and trembled all over, unconsciously hiding behind Zhi, clutching her sleeve and shivering.

Accompanied by about ten loyal bailiffs, some were struggling to lead horses around the bushes, while others were holding fruit trays, offering peeled apples to the magistrate's lips. Everyone incessantly praised the magistrate in his ear, each wearing a flattering expression, hoping that if the magistrate was in a good mood, their lives as subordinates would be a bit easier.

Oh... will my sister be terminally ill, on the verge of death, otherwise how could it be... oh...

Thus, a new round of "raids" has begun, but this time the operation is somewhat different from the past. Master Zhao is leading a team, preparing to cross the small woods to search for treasures in a nearby town.

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately met with concerned inquiries from the officials: "Is your brother alright? How about we take him to Fengyang for proper treatment?"

Biting her nails, the little attendant Yu seemed to understand yet not fully comprehend, pondering deeply and arriving at the conclusion: "... those poor ants will surely be crushed to death!"

A crisp voice filled with laughter immediately rose: "This esteemed gentleman is truly remarkable, able to discern at a glance that this 'stone' is actually jade. Such extraordinary intelligence and unparalleled talent! However, even a chicken coop can produce a golden phoenix; how much more so when I see all of you esteemed gentlemen, with your distinguished demeanor and broad foreheads, clearly not ordinary individuals. It is only to be expected that there would be such treasures in your household."

Only Shiyu still does not understand what is going on! Pouting, large tears like beans fell down "whoosh whoosh".

Just as Shiyu was about to jump up and curse, Zhizhi rushed over a few steps and tightly covered his mouth with her hand

If it doesn't work, those scraps of cloth will still be flying carpets. Just take out my boots and consider them as the thousand-mile boots, so that our brothers won't have to suffer!

"Oh no, the monster is here, run for your lives..."

Seeing her expression, the little one jumped up from the ground with a cleverness: "Of course I know."

Is there a mistake? This is not a historical drama, and we are not dealing with young ladies and maids! "No way!"

Mom, brother said that you can see Zhi Zhi and sister in heaven, do you know? ... Zhi Zhi is feeling very sad, very sad right now ...

Upon considering this, several hares sprang up and fell down, and he swiftly headed east

At this moment, upon hearing just a few understated words from Zhi, and catching sight of her exceptionally clear eyes, one could not help but develop a fondness for her

Before the young voice of Shiyu could finish its surprised exclamation, it was heavily thrown to the ground by someone. The little one was only concerned about the ancient jade being snatched away, with no thought for anything else

You actually... you actually... used the Spirit Communication Jade to hit someone!

Before the words had fully left her lips, the little one had not yet completely articulated her ideal world, when she heard Zhi listlessly say: "Eating wild fruits every day will lead to malnutrition; by then, we will definitely be reduced to skin and bones. Moreover, we do not even know if there are wild beasts here; if we encounter one, neither of us will escape!"

This slap was no light matter, causing Master Zhao to see stars and lose his sense of direction. However, committing an offense against authority is a crime against the emperor. With no time to dwell on his own miserable state after being struck, this emaciated man crawled and dragged himself while clutching the lord's plump boot, crying with snot and tears: "My lord, you must think carefully! I have recently received news that Prince Mu is also on his way to Fengyang. There are rumors in the capital that Princess Changping has long had feelings for Prince Mu, and is competing with him for a bride. I fear the consequences could be unimaginable!"

By chance, I encountered the young attendant Yu, and this meeting has stirred the threads of fate.

The sound of rustling grass leaves, like a flurry, indicated that the stack of hay was clearly concealing a bird's nest. Just as Shiyu was about to bend down, countless birds took flight in alarm, flapping their wings and soaring away, inadvertently leaving a large amount of bird droppings on him

As I was lost in thought, my mouth began to curl up, and I almost drooled. Just then, a chaotic sound of "drip-drip" horse hooves came from nearby.

This is a treasured heirloom of my family, of course it is beautiful

The old master's face turned pale and then green, looking extremely embarrassed. After a while, he became so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. With a wave of his fat palm, he shouted, "You!" Pointing at Zhao Shiyé, who was closest to him, he said, "Take some people and go find rare treasures, ones that are precious and not found in the palace!"

He spoke with great confidence, but as I listened, three black lines immediately appeared on my forehead.

The rain lingers in uncertainty

No one knows, but not far away, the cold-faced Lord Li Mu saw this scene very clearly, with a hint of charming smile appearing on his cold lips.

Conscience-stricken, one must fear the "ghost" knocking on the door, as corrupt officials and thieves conspire to snatch ancient jade.

Even Zhao Shiye, who usually enjoys suspicion and dislikes strangers, finds this young man truly endearing

The little one, pitifully tugging at Zhi's sleeve, anxiously said: "Benefactor, please do not abandon Shiyu, Shiyu will be very obedient, very obedient! Please do not leave Shiyu!"

The thicket is dense in the forest, making it impossible for horses to pass. A group of people has been walking for two hours.

After being reminded by Shiyu, Zhi realized that her outfit was indeed quite strange for the Tang Dynasty. In the bundle that He Feng and Mo Er had given her, the little girl rummaged through it excitedly and changed into a set of moon-white long robes, leaving Shiyu speechless: "Sister, this is men's clothing."

Although her tone was casual, her clear black eyes radiated a convincing brilliance, akin to the tranquil night. The constable immediately dispelled most of his doubts, and his fierce, bloodthirsty gaze returned to normal.

The battlefield on the ground was brutal, and no one noticed them as they desperately ran, fighting fiercely. A large area of forest was recklessly hacked by that group of frenzied individuals, with dust swirling and trees marked with scars everywhere, presenting a scene of utter chaos

"Chilu" has climbed a bit higher, and this child firmly confirmed Zhi's guess: "Indeed, the things that are leading those brown, high-legged, four-footed unidentified objects should be the strange creatures mentioned in legends. It is said that this type of creature has a collective name, called 'human'..."

Shiyu saw a small piece of jade with a slightly ancient texture, shimmering with a lively, droplet-like brilliance. With a "bang," it struck someone's head, causing their face to turn pale as they exclaimed, "Sister, you... you... how could you..."

Haha, Chen San, do you dare to compare your capacity with Zai? Damn it, can you even match him?

Ignoring his nagging words, she was absent-mindedly thinking about all sorts of messy things. The abacus in her mind was clattering away. One moment, she thought about whether or not to write a "New Language of the World," and the next moment, she thought about simply writing her own "Records of the Grand Historian." That way, she would definitely be able to earn a good amount of money.

The more I think about it, the angrier I become! Bah! Wretched bird! Bad bird! ... Ugh ... No wonder she is having such bad luck

When agreeing to take Shiyu along, Zhi could not help but bite off her own tongue

That was a ragged child, his face covered in mud. When he was seen, he was trembling all over, hiding under a chaotic, hacked-up cart, his face filled with terror, which startled Yin Zhizhi as well. After a long time, realizing that she had finally encountered a living person, Yin Zhizhi was so delighted that she almost smiled crookedly.

The esteemed lord indeed harbors compassion, and possesses great magnanimity; it is likely that even the current prime minister does not match your lordship's generosity

With a triumphant air, he tossed the "stone" in his hand into the air and caught it again, clearly finding those words quite applicable to this big, nasty fellow. His fondness for Zhi quickly rose by three levels, and he suddenly felt a sense of understanding towards her, as if she were the only one who truly knew him.

"That is the Spirit Communication Jade!" Desperately pulling at Zhi, Shiyu was completely speechless, jumping up and down while unleashing a torrent of shouts into her ear

Suffering from having her mouth stuffed, Shiyu made a few muffled sounds, completely bewildered by Zhi's actions today. Wasn't she supposed to leave the woods? Why didn't she go with them?

As soon as the words were spoken, two exhausted bailiffs, panting heavily, rushed up from either side to give a vigorous massage to the lord's corpulent body. "My lord, you have worked hard! We are truly at fault, being lazy all day long; your reprimand is well-deserved!"

Unfortunately, the last bit of protest was clearly heard by the wicked bailiff. This fellow's disheveled eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and his fleshy face trembled incessantly as he bellowed in a coarse voice: "What is that brat shouting about? Does he not believe that this lord possesses such a marvelous heirloom?"

I am still young, I do not want to die

Just as the yamen runners were hesitating, Zhao Shiyie firmly declared, "What's there to be afraid of? We'll go together, and whoever dares to laugh at us will regret it! Hmph!"

Sitting excitedly on the tree, Zhi Tou waved his hand without looking back at the crowd running away, shouting loudly: "Don't make noise, don't make noise, such an intense boxing championship is not something you can see anytime!"

She looked at him with a half-smile, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face. The young girl had always looked down upon the distinctions of high and low status in ancient costume dramas! Yet, she had encountered such a living example. If she could not turn the tide, the title of genius girl at Yunfeng School should be passed on to someone else.

In unison, they cheered, and only Zhi rushed towards the direction from which the sound of hooves was coming, whether it is a blessing or a curse, who can tell?

However, the more pressing matter now is Princess Changping. Ever since she got out of the carriage to take a stroll, she has not been seen again. He has come specifically to search for Princess Changping.

Once again, there was a burst of laughter, and Master Zhao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He could only chase after the plainclothes officers and shouted, "If you have time to chat, you might as well do more work. Three days, if we can't find the treasure, everyone will suffer the consequences!"

Zhi Zhi is in a dilemma, what is the situation? She just wants to go out and does not want to get into trouble. A large drop of sweat cannot help but crawl down her forehead. She appeals to emotions: "There is no benefit for you to follow me..."

Although the young man seemed somewhat familiar, in a moment of urgency, Li Mu's heart tightened, and without time to think, he struck out with a palm, landing directly on the young man's chest

"Shiyu, do you really have a way out of this?" With a hand on her aching calf, Zhi looked at the exhausted little ghost lying on the ground with a face full of resentment, her bright black eyes glaring at him, clearly expressing her distrust.

No, that is my sister's jade

Little Shiyu desperately paddled with his two small legs and finally ran closer. Upon witnessing this scene, his mouth gaped wide open, his eyes widened, and with a childlike curiosity, he asked, "What are they doing?"

Before the simple-minded little attendant, Shi Yu, could react, Zhi Yi, who was engrossed in the performance and had forgotten her surname, found it exhilarating. The ground shook and the mountains trembled, but that was not enough for her. She snatched something from Shi Yu's hand, weighed it in her hand, and it seemed quite heavy. Seizing the opportunity, she hurled it with a "whoosh," while enthusiastically shouting, "Kill! Don't hold back, charge!"

What is meant by malnutrition? With bright, sparkling eyes, the young attendant Yu humbly sought an explanation

Upon hearing his address, Zhi Zhi smiled radiantly. Bingo, she silently gave herself a thumbs up, Zhi Zhi is victorious

After a long time, the little rascal, whose conspiracy had succeeded, disregarded Shiyu's suspicious gaze and finally burst into an earth-shattering laugh from his belly. "Hahaha..."

His crying was not a big deal. Unexpectedly, this little mischievous star, who was fearless of heaven and earth, was most afraid of seeing others cry. With a sharp scream, the little girl's originally bright and sunny face immediately turned sorrowful: "Don't cry, don't cry. Let's talk about your young master later; for now, let's discuss what you should do next, okay?"

In the past, the various officials in Fengyang County were impervious to both persuasion and coercion, feeling emboldened by the protection of the county magistrate, living in arrogance and indulgence, never considering that any "commoner" might be likable

One scoop brings a handful of greasy fat, fortunate that those two constables were able to take action, not fearing that their hands would be so greasy that they could not be cleaned properly

One is an elderly person, and the other is a child

A shadow of earthy gray rushed like a whirlwind towards the crowd that had been torn apart, frantically searching for something small and easily breakable beneath the feet of a large group of panicked gentlemen. Shiyu was unwilling to lag behind, and soon, another small, disheveled figure in earthy gray was swept into the crowd, quickly merging with Zhi.

The servant of the rain does not dare ... ...
