Chapter 129 The Loyal Guardian of Bai Yueguang Jin 4

Shi Qing rolled his eyes and turned to Shen and said, "Mother, although the bandits have temporarily retreated, there is no guarantee that they will not come back. I think this young man is very skilled in martial arts, so why not ask him to escort us back."

Shen nodded in agreement. "Alright. Could this young man——"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xue Zhao directly rejected her coldly: "No."

He put away his sword and was about to leave, but Shi Qing hurriedly called out to him, "Sir, please wait."

Hearing this, Xue Zhao really stopped.

He turned sideways and looked at the girl without saying a word.

Shi Qing smiled and said, "Sir, if you can escort us back safely, you will be rewarded handsomely."

Xue Zhao's indifferent face seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Seeing this, Shi Qing struck while the iron was hot: "Gold, silver, treasures, brocade and silk, you will definitely not be missing."

Xue Zhao turned around and looked at her expressionlessly.

"Row."

Only the curtains of the carriage were cut to pieces, but there was no other damage.

Shen and Shi Qing were sitting in the car, and this time Xue Zhao was driving.

The sound of rolling wheels once again cut through the silence of the forest. The guards and maids were all terrified and kept alert to the movements around them, fearing that the bandits would strike again.

After a few close calls, everyone returned safely to the prime minister's residence.

The servant standing at the door saw how miserable they were and called out to the Madam and Miss in panic.

Shen got out of the car first, having already found out his name on the way.

"Master Xue, please go to the mansion and rest for a while."

Xue Zhao obviously didn't want to go in, he just said: "Madam, just give me the silver, I will leave now."

Shen was a little unhappy to be humiliated by him.

Chunmei, the maidservant beside her, understood and said with a sneer:

"Master Xue, the Xiangfu is a wealthy family, so you will certainly not be short of money. But there are many people outside, and if Master Xue is still dissatisfied with the amount of money, who knows how others will talk about how our Xiangfu treats you unfairly."

Xue Zhao sneered in his heart.

Shi Qing got off the car leisurely and mediated in the middle:

"Master Xue, the money still needs to be paid, which will definitely take some time. You must be tired from driving all the way, so why not take a rest in the mansion and wait patiently."

Xue Zhao glanced at Shi Qing and had to say that her words were more pleasing to the eye than those of the maid.

Although he really disliked this place, he had not yet received the money.

He said "hmm" indifferently and said no more.

Shi Qing smiled and made a gesture, "Mr. Xue, please follow me."

After returning to the prime minister's residence, the fear in Shen's heart naturally dissipated. She walked in front with the proud and reserved demeanor of a lady.

After crossing the threshold and walking around the corridor, Shen ordered a servant:

"First, take Master Xue to the front hall to rest."

The servant responded, and Shen turned her head to Shi Qing and said, "You should go back and change your clothes and clean your wound first."

Shi Qing responded and left.

After returning to the room, Shi Qing changed into a light green dress.

Qiuyue's eyes lit up, "Miss, why don't I comb a matching snake bun for you, and then put on the gold and jade hairpin that the eldest master gave you last time, it will definitely look good."

Shi Qing sat in front of the bronze mirror and smiled, "No need to bother, just comb your hair casually."

Qiuyue sighed, stood behind her and combed her hair with a warm wooden comb, and quickly made a simple yet beautiful hairstyle.

Shi Qing looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and touched her hair with one hand: "Qiuyue is really becoming more and more clever."

The moment Shi Qing raised her hand, Qiuyue noticed the scar on her palm and said in panic:

"Miss, you are injured. I will go get some medicine."

Seeing that she was about to run out, Shi Qing hurriedly stopped her, "Qiuyue!"

"My injury is not a problem. Let's go to the front hall to meet Master Xue first. If it's too late, he will leave."

Qiuyue stood at the door, hesitating, but finally agreed to Shi Qing's request, and they went to the front hall first.

?

Xue Zhao sat there, looking around silently.

In the center of the main hall is a huge mahogany desk, on which are placed exquisite porcelain and other objects, and on the wall hangs a famous calligraphy and painting. On the left and right are rows of chairs, which are filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

The entire interior is exquisite and elegant, and its luxury and splendor can be seen from the famous toys, calligraphy and paintings that can be seen everywhere.

Xue Zhao sneered in his heart. As he walked along, he saw that the prime minister's residence was full of flying eaves, green tiles, carved railings and painted pillars, with a neat layout and a majestic atmosphere.

Just one piece of porcelain on the table can cover a poor person's monthly expenses.

I wonder how much blood and sweat of the people were exploited to achieve this wealth and glory.

Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of light footsteps was heard.

Looking up, a green dress caught my eye. The girl had smooth hair tied up with a green hairpin, a full and smooth forehead, crescent-shaped eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight and small nose, and red lips.

She was wearing a light green cross-collar dress, a soft milky white belt, and a round jade pendant.

Her shoulders were as sharp as a knife, her waist was as slender as a thread, and she walked gracefully like a willow swaying in the wind.

However, thinking of the scene where she kicked the bandit away, Xue Zhao fell silent again.

Shi Qing walked over gracefully, smiling sweetly, "Mr. Xue, I've been waiting for a long time."

Seeing that he had nothing in his hand, Shi Qing's eyes dimmed, "Xia Lian, why don't you serve tea to Master Xue?"

Upon hearing this, the maid standing far away hurriedly brought tea.

Xia Lian was Shen's maid, and she was probably being disrespectful because of her expression.

Xue Zhao had been waiting for a long time and was thirsty, so he picked up the small cup and drank it all in one gulp.

He seemed to be unsatisfied and poured himself a few more cups.

Shi Qing sat down opposite Xue Zhao and said while Shen Shi was still here:

"Master Xue is a righteous man with great martial arts skills. I wonder where he got his high position?"

After Xue Zhao finished a pot of tea, he felt that the water had a light taste, not as strong as the ones they drank.

The taste is bland and does not quench thirst, but these teas are worth a fortune.

He secretly complained in his heart, and after hearing what the girl said, he replied: "You are just an idler, you can't be considered to have a high position."

The male protagonist's words and actions are very much like a rough guy.

Shi Qing thought about it, and she said directly: "I see that Master Xue is in urgent need of money. If he doesn't have a good place to go, why not come to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I have a job here that is suitable for Master Xue."

Xue Zhao refused without even thinking, "No need."

Shi Qing looked calm and a little regretful: "If that's the case, then I'll have to find someone else to do this job that pays twenty taels of silver a month."

Twenty taels of silver?

Or one month's salary?

Not to mention Xue Zhao, even Qiuyue and Xia Lian, who were listening with their ears pricked up, were shocked.

This amount of money is enough to keep Amu, Fusheng and others well fed and warm for several months, and the remaining money can be used to buy medicine for Xiaomei's illness.

Xue Zhao was deeply tempted, but then he thought, the prime minister is a corrupt official who killed the people of Duanzhou last month because of secretly embezzling money. Wouldn't working in the prime minister's office be like aiding and abetting the tyrant?

Not to mention whether Xie Huai agreed or not, just talking about himself, doing things here is as disgusting as eating shit.

Thinking about this, he gritted his teeth and uttered a few words coldly: "No need."

"When will my money be delivered?"

Shi Qing looked at the standing maid and said, "Xia Lian, go to the Madam and bring the silver in time, and tell her that it was my order."

Xia Lian left, and Shi Qing looked at Qiu Yue, "Go outside and see if my mother has come. Let me know when she arrives."

Qiuyue understood, "Yes, Miss."

Qiuyue was standing outside the main hall, while Shi Qing was holding the teacup at hand nonchalantly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Master Xue is one of the men in black who intercepted the governor of Suzhou."

Xue Zhao's heart tightened, but his face remained calm and composed: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Shi Qing took a sip slowly, and the fingers holding the cup were long and beautiful.

"The governor of Suzhou came to Beijing to celebrate my father's birthday. There must be gold and silver treasures in his carriage. His carriage happened to pass by Jinyun Temple. The day after he was robbed, Master Xue appeared in my room covered in blood."

She put down the teacup and looked at Xue Zhao quietly: "Master Xue said it himself, is this a coincidence?"

Xue Zhao clenched his fists. "You have no evidence, so how can you say that I robbed you of your money?"

Shi Qing smiled sweetly, and said as if she was ignorant of the world:

"I have no evidence. But Mr. Xue, you should know that the governor of Suzhou came here to celebrate my father's birthday. Now that such a big thing has happened outside the capital, the government will definitely conduct a strict search."

"If I identify Master Xue, regardless of whether you are a suspect or not, just based on the fact that you inexplicably appeared in Jinyun Temple, once you are imprisoned, Master Xue will also be imprisoned in the end."

If the government cannot find the real murderer in the end, in order to avoid responsibility, they will just catch someone who is slightly suitable, and that person will be the murderer.

Xue Zhao's eyes darkened. He stared at the laughing girl and felt a chill in his heart.

He pulled the corners of his lips and sneered: "As expected of the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the means of coercion are exactly the same as those of the corrupt officials."

Shi Qing was not annoyed by his ridicule, but nodded repeatedly: "You are right."

Xue Zhao was slightly startled and asked, "You've said so much, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Shi Qing blinked lightly, "I want you——"

"Be my personal bodyguard."

As soon as she stood up, Qiuyue's voice outside said in a very clear and loud voice: "Madam."
