Chapter 1
Jin Guo
At night, the wind blows goose feathers and heavy snow across the valley, like thousands of ghosts crying.

The Chongjunling post station standing on the mountainside fortress was brightly lit at this time.

Yan Rujin and her mother arrived with difficulty wearing snow and ice.

"Knock...knock..."

The knock on the door, which was almost covered by the wind, immediately caused everyone in the station to tense up, and their swords were drawn out of their sheaths.

"Second Uncle Liu, I'm Jinjin, my mother and I are here to pick up my father."

The weak and cautious immature female voice did not make the atmosphere in the room any more relaxed.

At the head sat a young man wearing a snow fox cloak with a sickly pale face.

Eyes narrowed dangerously: "Open the door!"

Hearing this, the kneeling postman trembled in fright, and quickly got up to open the door.

But he didn't want to get up all at once and stumbled again, staggering to the door.

Yan Rujin's frail body was exposed to the violent wind and snow, and suddenly felt her body sink.

Looking along the trend, I saw my mother fainted at my feet.

Not allowing her to react...

"squeak……"

The door of the inn was opened only a pitiful crack.

Yan Rujin was covered in snow and ice, so anxious that she raised her frozen little hand and tore off the scarf from her face, revealing her red and purple mouth and nose.

Just when she was about to speak, she saw Second Uncle Liu, who had always been peaceful, yelling at her impatiently.

"Jinjin... why are you here at this time, hurry up and leave!" As she spoke, she pushed her to close the door.

Yan Rujin's heart skipped a beat.

Now in the middle of the night, the snow is tormenting the wind, they finally came here, her mother fainted suddenly, going back would be death, staying outside this post station would also be death.

Yan Rujin hurriedly put her arm into the crack of the door, trying to prevent the door from closing.

It happened that Liu Er, the postman in panic, closed the door and squeezed him.

"what!"

This scream made Liu Er's face change in fright, and he hurriedly opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a muffled sound of falling on the threshold.

Yan Rujin hugged her painful left arm and hurriedly knelt down when she saw the situation: "Second Uncle Liu, for the sake of my mother always helping your family, please help us!"

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes, breaking through the ice and snow on his face.

Liu Er was obviously hesitant, and kept winking at Yan Rujin. At this moment, she knew that there was definitely something wrong with this station.

But her mother is already in a coma, so she might as well give it a go in this snowy and windy barren mountain.

Liu Er looked at the weather outside, the wind and snow blew straight into his eyes, and subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

There is a violent snowstorm outside, and this inside... can really be regarded as "wolves, tigers and leopards", and I feel very helpless!

In the end, he had no choice but to join hands with Yan Rujin to drag her mother into the house, and then hurriedly closed the door tightly.

It's so warm, Yan Rujin subconsciously sighed.

It's too late to get rid of the thick snow and ice

Liu Er's unconcealable nervousness and worry fell into Yan Rujin's eyes.

"Jinjin quickly kowtow to the official!"

Liu Er hurriedly pulled Yan Rujin over, and said hello.

Yan Rujin quickly watched Liu Er kowtow carefully, and followed suit.

I still don't forget to say with a grateful look: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

There are many mistakes, she must remember that she is a 12-year-old child who has never been out of the mountains.

She is no longer the lofty empress dowager in her previous life.

"Looked up!"

A weak but murderous voice sounded faintly.

Yan Rujin's whole body seemed to be electrified, and the voice was slightly familiar.

She lowered her eyes and raised her head tremblingly, her long eyelashes were stained with frost, which perfectly covered her eyes.

Taking advantage of the situation, she carefully looked around the station.

In front of them, there are four Eight Immortals tables in a row, and behind one of the tables in the southeast corner sits the man who just spoke.

Wearing a snow fox cloak, he was sickly and pale.

And behind him, stood two black-clothed guards who were about the same age as him.

There were 24 [-] black-clothed guards sitting on the other tables.

However, looking at the levels of these 24 people, they are not as high as the two standing guards in black.

The main two immature guards have golden belts hanging around their waists.

gold medal!

Ordinary officials, even the aristocratic families in Beijing, would not dare to use gold as a badge of guards.

It could only be someone from the palace!

Taking a closer look at that pale face, Yan Rujin looked familiar, but she...

"What is your name?"

With a cold sound, Yan Rujin's thoughts were interrupted, and then she was not allowed to answer, and continued to press on step by step.

"The blizzard is raging, and you are so thin, how did you bring your mother here?"

The cold tone was so unhurried and weak.

But Yan Rujin knew that as long as she didn't answer the young master's wishes.

Anyone here can decapitate her.

The sudden soreness of the nose hit instantly.

Yan Rujin hurriedly grabbed the ground with her head desperately: "On the way here, my mother suddenly had a high fever, and she came here with much effort... I beg the official to save me..."

Before she could finish speaking, the sick and weak young man interrupted directly.

"Oh, what does it have to do with me." The voice became even colder as he said, "You should first think about how to save your life."

The cold refusal and threat made Yan Rujin's heart chill.

Speaking of which, the guard closest to Yan Rujin had drawn out his long sword and put it directly on Yan Rujin's neck.

Liu Er wanted to open his mouth and stepped forward, but the long sword stabbed his Adam's apple straight.

The sick and weak young master looked at Yan Rujin coldly with interested eyes.

"Say……"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Rujin was shaking like she was sifting chaff, and hurriedly spit out: "The surname of a civilian girl is Yan, and her name is Rujin. This year's twelfth is still a few days away from thirteenth."

"You just said... what's your name?"

The dangerous breath had wrapped Yan Rujin layer upon layer, and the fear she had never had before made her not know what to say.

He could only close his eyes and cry out with fear and trembling.

"The girl's name is Yan Rujin. At noon today, the second uncle at home sent the news that Yan Nanzheng, the father who came to pick up the girl at the inn, went home. As soon as she arrived at the gate, the girl's mother passed out... "

Liu Er was obviously anxious.

Unexpectedly, the guard immediately pressed his sword against his flesh, scaring him to shrink his neck and tremble.

Yan Rujin was dumbfounded.

For some reason, the man obviously had a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and this smile flashed in Yan Rujin's mind instantly.

This smile resembles him, but his figure is far from it.

"Oh, you are Yan Rujin?"

The man was obviously physically exhausted, but with contempt and disdain on his face, he came to Yan Rujin mockingly, condescending.

"A lowly woman like you actually refused my acknowledgment of relatives from the Ministry of Officials, He Shangshu?"

He said and slowly squatted down: "Do you know that there are so many daughters' families all over the world, wishing to enter Haojing He's family as slaves and servants?"

Looking at his bloodless face, coupled with those eyes that seem to contain thousands of melancholy, they still can't hide his high nose bridge, the acrimonious mouth that seems to be showing off and tearing with human blood.

Yan Rujin suddenly yelled at him: "How dare a lowly life come to your land! Minnies dare not think about it."

While talking, I still didn't forget to add a sentence: "I hope the official will take pity on the poor girl..."

The words were not finished.

Obviously he should be a weak and sick young master, so he got up suddenly, swung his cloak, and hit Yan Rujin in the face without hesitation.

"Yan Nanzheng came here at least half a month ago, why did you come to pick him up today?"

Yan Rujin was shocked when she heard that, and glanced at Second Uncle Liu beside her.

Seeing him looking at the sword in his throat and nodding cautiously, Yan Rujin was in a daze.

Why is it today?
