The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 521 Preparing for Night Patrol

"Master, the young lady is back! She is accompanied by a maid!"

In the evening, the old butler trotted into the study to report to Marquis Jingbei.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Jingbei winked at the man in black in front of him, and the man in black disappeared. Then he stood up and walked out with his butler.

"Greetings, Lord Marquis! Today, your young lady falsely accused a child in the street. This is a bad behavior. The Regent ordered me to teach you some manners. These books were given to you by the Regent. I hope that Lord Marquis can take good care of you and let you stay indoors for a few days to copy books and cultivate your moral character!"

Seeing Marquis Jingbei coming, the old nanny respectfully handed him a few books and conveyed the regent's orders.

"I am not a good parent. Please tell the regent that I will teach my daughter well and stop her from causing trouble again!"

Marquis Jingbei held the books and spoke politely to the old nanny.

Seeing that her mission had been accomplished, the old nanny bowed respectfully to Marquis Jingbei and turned to leave.

"Daddy!"

Seeing his daughter looking at him timidly, Jingbei Hou threw a few books at her and scolded her with a stern face: "Go back to your room, reflect on your mistakes and think about where you went wrong!"

After that, he ordered the two maids who were almost unable to stand: "Watch the young lady carefully, and don't let her go out for this month. If the young lady sneaks out of the house, I will order someone to break your legs!"

"Yes, slave, I obey!"

Two maids supported the young lady who was nearly knocked down by Marquis Jingbei, picked up the books on the ground, and whispered to the tearful young lady to go back to her room.

Looking at the back of his troublesome daughter, Marquis Jingbei ordered someone to keep an eye on her secretly before returning to the study to continue dealing with things.

At this time, Lin Xi took the children to play on the street until sunset before returning to his own house.

"Wow! Boss, this yard is so beautiful!"

"Boss, this yard is so big, the rent must be very expensive. Why don't we rent a smaller yard and save some money?"

"Yes, although this yard is very grand and beautiful, we don't need to live in such a big yard. We can just rent a simpler small yard to live in temporarily."

......

The kids followed Lin Xi into the yard. They didn't expect that the yard looked ordinary from the outside, but was so large and magnificently decorated after entering. When they heard Lin Xi say that they would live here during their stay in the capital, they felt it was a waste of money. They thought that this yard was rented by Lin Xi.

"This yard is mine, not rented from anyone else, so you can just stay here without worry."

Lin Xi said with a smile as he looked at his friends who were looking around.

After hearing what Lin Xi said, the kids, who had been reserved and didn't dare to touch anything in the yard for fear that the owner would be unhappy, now relaxed and started touching and looking at things, sighing that their boss was so amazing that he had bought such a luxurious yard in Beijing.

"Xi'er, you guys are back, come over and sit down to eat! Why did you take so long today?"

Cao was standing at the gate of the main courtyard looking out. She saw Lin Xi coming with the kids. She wiped her hands on her apron, walked up quickly, and walked into the house pulling the little kids along.

The children greeted Cao enthusiastically, and when they walked into the house, they saw Lin Kang, Lin Ping, Lin An, Daya, Yuanyuan, Youfu, Chen Qing and Chen Yan serving dishes to the table, and they rushed over.

Suddenly the whole hall was filled with children's laughter, and it was very lively.

Cao and Lin Dayong looked at each other, and just like they did in Linshan Village, they left the space for the children and went back to their room. Before Lin Xi and the others came back, the couple had already eaten. The dishes on the tables were all for the children, and there was even some freshly grilled barbecue on top.

Although the kids had eaten a lot of snacks on the street just now, they had been walking around for a long time and had digested the food long ago. When they saw grilled fish and meat, they sat down around the table and each picked up a few pieces to eat.

After the meal, Lin Xi told his friends what they needed to do next. Led by their own captain, they took turns patrolling the capital city day and night to prevent evil cultivators from hurting people, and designated relatively remote locations as key patrol areas.

"This is the new protective jade token I made. Each person takes five. When you encounter danger, the jade token will be automatically triggered. It is very practical for protection."

Lin Xi had an idea and took out the jade cards she had carved in the past two days from the boundary bead. She asked the captains to distribute them to their friends. Seeing that everyone put the jade cards away, she took out a small porcelain bottle on the table and pointed at it and said, "These are the dew that purifies the white lotus. They can be used to deal with evil cultivators. Each person gets one bottle."

Several captains quickly distributed the porcelain bottles to their respective team members, and Lin Xi told them how to use them.

Xiaobai and his four friends showed up and placed the upgraded uniforms they had specially made for the team members in front of the kids. The kids who had worn the uniforms once had their eyes lit up and put them on with their coats.

The team uniform is all black, except for patterns of white wolf, turtle, phoenix and red horse embroidered on the front and back. It looks both majestic and cute.

While the team members were putting on their uniforms, Lin Xi walked to the two boxes that Leng Yi had brought and looked for the token. He opened the first one and found that it was full of fist-sized luminous pearls. The kids gathered around and were amazed. It was the first time they had seen luminous pearls, and they were so big!

Lin Xi was very generous and gave one to each person. The kids didn't bother to be polite with her and happily took them and put them in their own space rings.

Lin Xi opened another box, which contained dozens of tokens. The kids took one each on their own initiative. Lin Xi told them that if they met patrolling officers and soldiers, they could show them the tokens to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"This main courtyard is a bit full, so everyone go to the two courtyards next to the main courtyard to choose a room and have a good rest. After half an hour, go out on patrol according to the positions just divided."

After all the things were distributed, Lin Xi looked at the sky outside and spoke to the dozens of team members in the hall.

"Yes, boss!"

The kids all responded in unison, whispering their orders, and flew to the two courtyards in teams. They found a room at random, took out daily necessities such as quilts and sheets from their space rings, and quickly packed up. Cao had already cleaned all the rooms in the two courtyards, so they just had to move in with their things, so it didn't take long.

Everyone put their things away and gathered in the yard in advance.

"Remember, if you spot an evil cultivator, immediately signal nearby team members. Don't face the evil cultivator alone. Your own safety is the most important thing!"

Before setting off, Lin Xi looked at his friends and gave them instructions.

The kids nodded in agreement, and at Lin Xi's command, they covered their faces with black scarves and quickly disappeared in different directions.

The little turtle stayed in the yard to protect Cao and Lin Dayong, and the other three divine beasts also dispersed and followed the children to protect their safety.

After patrolling for several days in a row, except for the day when the kids just arrived and the government discovered the bones of a family before they went on patrol, there were no more incidents of evil cultivators harming people in the following days.

It wasn't that Wang Siruo knew that there were people secretly patrolling in the capital, so she didn't dare to come out and harm anyone, but she was being watched by the old monk hired by her grandmother and couldn't go out.

Looking through the crack in the door at the bald monk sitting outside her house and beating a wooden fish, Wang Siruo felt murderous intent rising in her!
