Chapter 430 Buy some brains
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, put down the things in his hands, stood up and said, "Where is the person?"
"Under the old tree to the east of the tent." Qin Xin said.
"Go over and have a look."
"Yes."
After Shen Shuyi left, Shen Meiru couldn't help but say, "Second sister is really powerful. I don't know how she got involved with Mr. Xie again."
Shen Qinghuan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Some things we can't get even if we beg for them. Fifth sister, it's better for you to keep to yourself."
Shen Meiru's face flushed, then turned pale, and she remained silent.
Shen Qinghuan was in a very good mood. After all, the worse Qin Xuerong's life became, the better life would be for her, her aunt, and her brother.
Qin Xuerong has lost power these days, and although the power of the household has fallen into the hands of the second wife, her aunt's life is much better.

Shen Shuyi walked over and asked Jinzhu, "Did Jiuchou pass the news to my brother?"
"Someone has been sent back. I'm sure the young master should have received the news by now."
Shen Shuyi nodded and said again: "Keep an eye on the Qin family, especially the old woman who appeared beside Old Madam Qin today."
If Shen Shuyi hadn't been dragged away by his second aunt to watch the fun today, he would not have noticed that old woman.
In her two lifetimes combined, Shen Shuyi should have never seen that old woman, but she gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Yes."
After giving all the instructions along the way, Shen Shuyi had already seen Xie Jingchi from afar.
The place this person chose was open and not crowded with people, but it was not a dark corner that was deliberately avoided from the public.
"Sir Xie, why don't you focus on investigating the case and recuperating from your injuries, but come here to blow the wind?" Shen Shuyi said.
"The medicine from the Imperial Hospital is not working. I thought of asking Miss Shen for some medicine." Xie Jingchi spoke weakly. His half-dead appearance reminded Shen Shuyi of Xiao Tingshan.
However, unlike Xiao Tingshan, Xiao Tingshan's eyes showed a pure, harmless and gentle look due to his illness, while the man in front of him had sharp and deep eyes, as if even if he died in the next second, he would still be the ruthless and scheming Xie Jingchi!
"Why does Miss Shen look at me like that?" Xie Jingchi coughed twice, looking like he would fall down if the wind blew.
Shen Shuyi looked at his expression and couldn't put it into words: "Thank you, sir, you are quite picky. It's good to have medicine to take. I appreciate your majesty's painstaking efforts to send the imperial physician to treat you."
Xie Jingchi looked straight at her and said quietly, "Of course, we can't make things difficult for ourselves when we are alive. We have to make ourselves happy, right? Besides..."
"What's more?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Xie Jingchi said slowly: "Besides, I thought Miss Shen liked this one."
Shen Shuyi was full of question marks: "???"
Which one???
Sick child?
Xiao Tingshan?
"Very good, thank you sir, you have successfully humiliated me!" Shen Shuyi spoke in a cold voice, his clear eyes revealing a hint of coldness.
Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips, and in an instant, that pale and cold face actually had some more radiant spring light, and the pale deathly aura was swept away, it was like... a last glimmer of life!
But it's damn good-looking!
Shen Shuyi: "..."
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "The medicine is available, but it is worth a thousand gold."
Xie Jingchi was silent for a while, then said solemnly: "I don't have a fortune, I am all alone, with only this body."
Shen Shu smiled angrily: "Master Xie, you shouldn't say this to me. Go to Huichun Tower and ask. Maybe you can sell it for a good price."
Qin Xin and Jian Po, who were not far away, lowered their heads like quails, trying hard to reduce their presence.
They heard nothing... absolutely nothing...
Xie Jingchi pursed his thin lips, his eyes full of resentment: "Ms. Shen is so heartless."
Shen Shuyi was not polite at all, raised his eyebrows and said: "You can't blame me for this, I don't like Mr. Xie's style."
Xie Jingchi was somewhat interested. He narrowed his eyes and asked patiently, "What type does Miss Shen like?"
Shen Shuyi curled her eyes and said, "I like to be open. I don't like Mr. Xie who is shy and timid. He takes off his clothes and still hides himself."
Jinzhu and Yuping were standing not far away, their eyes as big as bells.
What on earth did they hear!
This person is their daughter???
Xie Jingchi pursed his lips and said, "Tsk, Miss Shen is coveting my body."
Shen Shu smiled angrily: "..."
"Golden beads." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.
"Yes!" Jinzhu was eavesdropping attentively. When her name was suddenly called, she immediately straightened her back and responded.
"Go to the kitchen and ask the steward to buy some brains to nourish Lord Xie." Shen Shuyi said with a smile.
Jin Zhu was stunned for a moment, and faced Xie Jingchi's gloomy gaze, and said boldly: "Yes, Miss."
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and was in a good mood when she saw Xie Jingchi staring at her without saying a word.
A small victory in this round.
The next moment, Shen Shuyi heard Xie Jingchi say in a deep voice: "Forget it. I thought that Miss Shen and I could share weal and woe, and there are some things we can talk about. I didn't expect..."
Before Xie Jingchi finished speaking, Shen Shuyi interrupted him and said, "I didn't expect that Master Xie and I would agree on the same thing. Master Xie treated me with all his sincerity, which made it worthwhile for me to drag my sick body and boil medicine day and night after returning home to prepare two prescriptions for Master Xie."
As he spoke, Shen Shuyi looked at Yuping, who immediately took out two packages of medicine and handed them to Xie Jingchi respectfully.
Xie Jingchi's eyes fell on the medicine, and then returned to the girl.
The girl's brow still looked distant and cold, but her clear almond-shaped eyes were full of tenderness and concern.
Even though he knew that this tenderness was fake, Xie Jingchi still couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"Miss Shen really cares about me." Xie Jingchi took the medicine contentedly and held it in his hand.
Shen Shuyi: "..."
No one had told her in her previous life that Lord Xie was so confident.
"Thank you, sir?" Shen Shuyi looked at Xie Jingchi, his meaning clear.
Your life has been saved, you have been flattered, and you have been given medicine. Even if you are a money-eating beast, isn't it time for you to spit something out?
Xie Jingchi turned around, curled the corner of his lips, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi signaled Qin Xin, Jiang Po and the others to guard from a distance.
Xie Jingchi looked at the mountains with deep eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Shen, you know that the border guards are not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict."
Shen Shuyi said: "I know."
There are many wars at the border, and the generals guarding the border cannot return to the capital without permission. However, Your Majesty has lived in the capital for a long time, and is afraid that the generals at the border will become independent and declare themselves kings. Therefore, at the end of each year, you will order the generals guarding the border to enter the palace and make transfers to the garrisons.
Seven years ago, Jiang Yanhu was ordered to return to Beijing and brought back 30,000 troops.
Most of the troops brought back were soldiers and wounded soldiers who had not returned home for many years. Accordingly, Emperor Qianwu would draw 30,000 new troops from other armies to supplement them.
In this way, we can not only replenish the combat power of the border, but also hone the new army, and ensure that the border will not only recognize generals but not emperors!
