Shangguan Jie was talented and intelligent, and was born to practice martial arts. Under Situ Hao's harsh teachings, he became more and more proficient in his martial arts and saber techniques. Shangguan Jie not only practiced his father's Thunderbolt Saber Technique to the fullest, but he also created his own Love Asking Saber Technique. Combining the moves of the Love Seeking Saber Technique, he drew a picture and asked Situ Hao to forge a Love Seeking Saber Technique for him.
With Shangguan Jie's current attainments in saber techniques, he could be said to be the best among the younger generation of martial artists who used sabers. Especially after he and his senior sister practiced the saber and sword combination together, his saber technique and power had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Other than practicing martial arts, Shangguan Jie would either spar with Situ Yun or read the historical books carefully by himself. Of course, sometimes he would chat with Sister Yun about everything, but their conversation almost never involved love or any strange things at home. After hearing everything her mother said today, she was stunned.
Before he could react, he heard his master, Situ Hao, say,"…Revenge for the Shangguan family and the Situ family. I'm relieved, it's time to go."Therefore, he hurriedly said,"No, you can't die like this."
After Shangguan Jie finished speaking, he walked to Situ Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, and helped him up with both hands. Then, he helped him sit on a chair at the side. Then, Shangguan Jie took two steps back and said,"Master, today, you and my mother arranged an engagement for me and Sister Yun. From now on, you're my father-in-law. However, based on what you said and wanted to do just now, I feel that you are too stingy. You haven't found the enemy who framed you, and we don't know who killed my father and Sister Yun's mother with your help. We haven't avenged the Situ family and the Shangguan family for almost being wiped out. How can you die?”
Shangguan Jie looked at his mother, who was covered in tears, and then at Sister Yun, who was supporting his mother. He continued,"Master, my mother has already said that if you really die to apologize, wouldn't that be falling into the trap of a traitor? Therefore, I say that not only must you not die, but our family must live well. Although we still don't know the motive and purpose of the enemy, as long as we're alive and still have that mysterious thing, the enemy will definitely find us again. That will be the day we take our revenge. Master, mother, do you think what I said is right?”
"Good child, you're right. Brother Situ, listen to what the child said. You should quickly put down the burden in your heart and do what we should do.”Ouyang Wan 'er didn't expect Jie' er, who was usually quiet, to say such reasonable and philosophical words. She said excitedly.
"Ai, Jie 'er is right. Sister Wan' er is right. I shouldn't have immersed myself in self-blame and be unable to extricate myself from it, giving up on what I should do. Jie 'er, I'll listen to you in the future. Hahahaha.”This was the first time Situ Hao smiled happily in 17 years.

There was a small hill about 50 miles north of Suzhou. The hill was originally nameless and very desolate, but 40 years ago, a villa was suddenly built here. It was called a manor because people were used to calling it a manor and the name they gave it. Strictly speaking, it should be a castle built on this hill, and it was a heavily guarded and extraordinary castle.
After the castle was built, it was named "Sword Returning Villa" by its owner. The owner of Sword Returning Villa was Cheng Wei, a swordsman who had traveled the world with one sword forty years ago and was known as "One Sword to Heaven".
Cheng Wei debuted at the age of 18 and became famous at the age of 20. However, just as the martial artists had high hopes for him, Cheng Wei suddenly disappeared.?Soon after, a castle named "Sword Returning Manor" appeared on a nameless hill outside Suzhou. Due to the fame and achievements of the Sword Returning to Heaven, the martial artists named the Sword Returning Manor as the number one manor in the martial arts world.?
The reason why Sword Returning Manor was known as the number one manor in the martial arts world was very simple. The manor was like a timely rain," generous and generous." Within a fifty-mile radius of Fan Manor, whether it was a commoner or a martial artist, as long as Sword Returning Manor knew about it or if one sought help from the manor, Sword Returning Manor would definitely help them.?Even if you were a great thief who was being pursued by a righteous sect in the martial arts world, as long as you were willing to turn over a new leaf, the Sword Returning Manor would help you equally.
Ordinary martial artists always dreamed of having their own manor become the number one manor in the martial arts world. However, when the martial artists named Sword Returning Manor as the number one manor in the martial arts world, the manor master, Cheng Wei, repeatedly declined. He said that he was a junior in the martial arts world, and the manor was too shabby to be called the number one manor in the martial arts world.?However, things were often like this. The more you declined, the more people wanted to impose this reputation on you. Moreover, more than a dozen people who had received the favor of "Sword Returning Manor" carved a large horizontal board and hung it at the highest point of the main entrance of "Sword Returning Manor".
Swordsman Cheng Wei, the owner of the First Village in Wulin, was famous for his sword technique, the Sword of Extinction, and the Heaven-Returning Sword Technique. He had three sons and two daughters, as well as seven grandchildren and three granddaughters. Cheng Wei's eldest son was Ming Yang, his second son was Ming Yuan, and his third son was Ming Biao. His two daughters were Ming Feng and Ming Jiao.
His five children were born into a martial arts aristocratic family. Naturally, they were superior in martial arts, especially in sword skills. No one in the world could surpass them. From this, it could be seen that Cheng Wei, the owner of the Sword Returning Manor, and his children were very skilled in the sword.
On this day, a small boat sailed down the river and stopped at a small dock outside Suzhou. As soon as the boat was tied to the shore, four people jumped down from the boat one after another. After the four of them hurriedly paid the fare, they walked into Suzhou without looking back.
More than ten days later, the south gate of Suzhou was bustling with firecrackers near the main street. The onlookers rushed over to see that it was the opening of an escort shop.
The escort firm was located in a courtyard. There was a relatively large courtyard facing the street. Behind the courtyard were three rows of large brick houses built with polished bricks. The gate of the courtyard was higher and wider than the other courtyards. There was a plaque hanging on the high gate. The plaque was blue with golden words. Four large golden words wrote "Tianyi Bodyguard Agency".
After the firecrackers, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the spacious courtyard. He walked to the entrance of the Bodyguard Agency and cupped his fists at the crowd."Everyone, today is the opening day of the Tianyi Bodyguard Agency. Thank you for stopping by to watch the ceremony.‘Tianyi Escort Agency is a bodyguard that protects people, goods, gold, silver, and the world. In the future, I hope all the officials will support me. On the first day of the opening of the escort agency, we have prepared some coarse wine tea. If you have time, please come in and drink some wine and tea. Please, please-"
Ever since the man with the surname Si had spoken, the Tianyi Bodyguard Agency had officially opened. When the people crowded outside the Bodyguard Agency heard that there was wine and tea in the Bodyguard Agency, those who liked to take advantage of the situation rushed in and grabbed a seat, waiting to taste the free wine and tea.
There was no oil and salt shop in the world that did not open, but the Tianyi Bodyguard Agency opened very early. It had only been three days since it opened, and someone had already come to find it.
The four or five people who rode horses, sedan chairs, and carriages all stopped outside the entrance of the Tianyi Bodyguard Agency. They got into their sedan chairs and reined in their horses. The few of them alighted from their cars, sedan chairs, and dismounted from their horses. They stood neatly before walking into the bodyguard agency.
……
Little Baoying Celestial Dragon was sipping his fragrant tea in the study of the Second Hall, shaking his head leisurely. Suddenly, someone reported from outside the door,"Young master, there is someone outside the manor seeking an audience.”
"Oh, did you ask who came?”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong asked without even opening his eyes.
"I've asked. The person who came claimed to be Itinerant Moli's disciple, known as Jade-faced Playboy.”
"What? He's called Jade-faced Playboy? Is he more handsome and beautiful than me?”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong opened his eyes.
"Reporting to Young Lord, that person's face is only a bit whiter. How can his appearance compare to Young Lord?”
"Yes, call him in."
"Yes, Young Master."
After the servant left, Little Treasure Ying Tianlong smiled and sat in the middle of the hall. After a while, the servant who reported the matter brought a fair-skinned man into the hall of the Second Hall.
The servant stood at the door and bowed to Little Treasure Ying Tianlong before closing the door and leaving. The servant walked to Little Treasure Ying Tianlong and bowed before saying,"Your subordinate, Jade-faced Playboy Su Yu, greets Young Master.”
Senior Brother Su, please take a seat." Little Treasure Ying Tianlong said in a dignified manner.
"Thank you, Young Master." Su Yu thanked him and sat down at a spot not too far away from Little Treasure and Ying Tianlong.
"Senior Brother Su, what are you here for?"
"Young Master, I found out that six officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue arrived in Suzhou yesterday. After entering Suzhou, they did not go to the magistrate's office but to the newly opened Tianyi Bodyguard Agency. The leader was Jia Chao, the Minister of War and the eldest son of Jia Shidao.”
"Oh? Tell me what you think about this.”
"Young master, this subordinate has already snuck into the Tianyi Bodyguard Agency to become a bodyguard. After this subordinate saw the six people enter the agency, this subordinate hid in a secret place to scout. I heard from the chief bodyguard of the Tianyi Escort Agency, Si Hao, that the imperial court wanted the Tianyi Escort Agency to escort one million taels of silver to Kaifeng and hand it over to the garrison stationed there.”
“……”
" Young Master," Su Yu saw that Little Treasure Ying Tianlong did not speak, so she continued,""Usually, the imperial court sends the salary silver to the various armies with the Imperial Army escorting it. This time, it's a newly opened bodyguard agency escorting it.”
"Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War Jia Chao, the eldest son of the treacherous minister Jia Shidao. Yes, this matter was definitely not simple. Senior Brother Su, quickly go back and continue to scout and monitor. I'll immediately gather people to come up with a countermeasure. If I can't communicate with you immediately, you can act according to the situation. Remember, if this batch of silver is really for the soldiers at the front line, then we will help the Tianyi Escort Agency deliver the silver. If not, then don't blame me for being rude.”
"Yes, this subordinate understands."
"Okay, go back quickly. Remember not to expose your identity. If you make a mistake, you can withdraw immediately. Don't lose your life because of it.”
"Thank you, Young Master. This subordinate will remember it."
After Su Yu left, the servant who reported the matter just now stood outside the door of the Second Hall and asked,"Young Master, do you have any instructions?"
"Oh, yes-man, go and invite Eldest Aunt, Yu 'er, and Feng' er over immediately. Tell them that I have something urgent to discuss.”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong spoke like a sect leader.
"Yes." The servant hurriedly ran away to pass the message.
Yu 'er and Feng' er were Little Treasure Ying Tianlong's personal handmaidens, and although they weren't by Young Master Bao's side, they weren't far from him, so they soon arrived in front of Little Treasure Ying Tianlong.
"Young Master Bao, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? That yes-man is running so fast that he can't breathe.”As soon as they entered the second hall, Feng 'er said loudly.
"It's an emergency. Otherwise, how could I dare to ask the yes-man to invite Feng 'er over in such a hurry? Feng 'er, this time we can use your qinggong. Immediately set off to summon the leaders of the lion, tiger, and eagle teams for a meeting. Remember, I want them to arrive within two hours after receiving the message.”Little Treasure Ying Tianlong said as he took off a ring from his hand and handed it to Feng 'er.
"Understood." Feng 'er replied excitedly, his expression happier than giving her a few sets of new clothes.
"Young Master Bao, what about me?" Seeing Feng 'er accept such an important mission, Yu' er could not hold it in anymore.
"Yu 'er, immediately make a map of the water and land routes from Suzhou and Lin' an to Kaifeng. Find out which states, cities, counties, towns, and valleys there are along the way. He had to be quick. He might have to use it tonight.”
"Understood." Hearing Young Master Bao's orders, Yu 'er was even more excited than Feng' er.
Just as she finished assigning tasks to Feng 'er and Yu' er, Li Shishi Li walked into Xiao Bao's second hall. Seeing that there was no one else in the Second Hall, Little Treasure Ying Tianlong hurriedly closed the door of the Second Hall. Then, he turned around and hugged Little Exemplary Li in his arms. He opened his mouth anxiously and kissed her increasingly beautiful face.
"Oh, Little Treasure, it's daytime. Besides, don't you have something urgent to discuss?”Little Shishi Li, who was feeling weak, leaned into Little Treasure's arms and said.
"I'm just anxious. Today, I've been missing auntie and wifey so much that I'm going crazy. If it wasn't for aunt's wife strictly forbidding me from going to aunt's wife's room, I would have already flown over to hug aunt's wife and started killing.”
"You little rascal, didn't I tell you that I'm not feeling well these few days and asked you to take in Yu 'er and Feng' er? Why didn't you…?"
"No, it's because I'm always thinking about my aunt and wife…"
"You, didn't you say that you wanted to take in all the beautiful women in the world? You haven't even taken in the most intimate women around you, so how can you talk about taking in all the beautiful women in the world? "Hehehe," although she said that, after hearing Little Treasure's words, Li Shishi Jr. felt extremely happy.
"Aunt Wifey, give your sweet place to Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao is going crazy thinking about it.”Little Treasure, Ying Tianlong, begged Little Shishi Li anxiously.
"She's already in your arms. Can I not give it to you?”Little Shishi Li replied in a shy and low voice.
