Yuan Qingya smiled proudly.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"Don't make that expression. This isn't some kind of hell on earth. Why do you look like you're about to jump into a fire pit?"

"Although I'm not that wealthy, I can still provide a life of luxury in the literal sense."

"It's better than you living your life cautiously here."

"You are lucky. If a village like this is targeted by monsters or robbed by bandits, it will be destroyed in an instant. It would be a pity if you died."

Ah Qing rolled his eyes in annoyance and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back and nodded sullenly.

"Alright alright. Sly Kokuji-sama."

"The library in Heian-kyō."

“I really want to go and see it.”

"Hey, you won't go back on your word, right?"

Yuan Qingya couldn't wait to raise his palm to the sky and swear.

"If I tell even a single lie, I will die without a burial place."

After uttering a poisonous oath, Ah Qing felt a little embarrassed. She flipped her fingers and whispered, "There's no need to be like this."

Yuan Qingya took advantage of the victory and asked, "Then you will come with me tomorrow morning?"

"My castle tower is quite spacious, and there are plenty of rooms. Just wait for me to send someone to help you move your books. How do you think?"

Ah Qing nodded first, then shook his head.

"No need to be so anxious, right?"

"I have something else to do. The village is going to be relocated anyway. Can't I come find you when the time comes?"

"There shouldn't be any rush, right?"

"I promised the children in the village that I would tell them stories. In a few days, it will be the hundredth and last story."

The girl's eyes were so clear that Yuan Qingya was a little dazed.

This request is not excessive.

"Well, it's not that I'm worried, it's just that it's too dangerous for you to be here."

"Forget it. I will go back tomorrow and ask Feng Mo to bring a team of people to camp nearby to protect you in secret."

Yuan Qingya talked to himself for a few words and quickly made a plan.

It's not a bad thing to have a beginning and an end. Since she likes telling stories, let's fulfill her wish.

This is a treasure girl! You must spoil her!

Whether Musashi Province can develop smoothly depends on her!

Although they had only met once and chatted for a few words, she was definitely much more knowledgeable than those rigid civil servants in the city. Yuan Qingya didn't have any golden fingers when he traveled through time. He was not a liberal arts student, and he didn't learn agricultural knowledge. The policies that benefit the people that he could remember were limited, and he didn't know whether they would be a good thing or a bad thing to use them.

Now that he had someone to give him advice, he felt much more relaxed.

But what he never expected was that the next time he saw the girl was in a raging fire.

Chapter 283 Fire

A night later, Yuan Qingya opened his eyes, stood up and stretched.

It was daybreak and everything was quiet.

He leaned against the wall and meditated all night without feeling tired at all.

Not far in front of him, there was a young girl lying on her side, breathing evenly. Her thin and frail body was curled up in the quilt, looking very adorable.

Yuan Qingya could feel that she had woken up.

The sudden chaotic breathing rhythm was proof of this.

Yuan Qingya became playful. He tiptoed to behind Ah Qing and slowly squatted down. When he heard the girl's increasingly rapid breathing, his smile turned into one of evil humor.

No matter how much the person in front of you studies, she is just a teenage girl.

Being in such close contact with a member of the opposite sex of the same age, on the bed at that, quickly made that peaceful sleeping face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yuan Qingya didn't stand up or say anything.

He just watched there until he estimated that the girl's shame had almost reached its limit, and then he spoke slowly.

"I'm leaving now~"

The girl was very smart and had no idea that he was playing a prank on her. She rolled over and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, her face full of shame and anger.

"You you are such a person!!"

She couldn't utter any curse words, and the boy in front of her didn't do anything excessive, but she still felt like she was being teased.

Yuan Qingya stopped after a brief taste, straightened his expression, and said righteously: "What's wrong with me? I came here to say goodbye."

"So, you really don't want to come with me? Edo Castle needs to be rebuilt quickly. There is no time to lose."

Ah Qing glared at him unhappily, obviously still angry.

"Why are you so verbose!"

"This is my hometown after all, why are you in such a hurry?"

Yuan Qingya was a little surprised when he heard this.

".Do vagrants have hometowns?"

"Don't be so nostalgic. They're not good to you, are they?"

Ah Qing's eyes became a little dim and he slowly shook his head.

"Homeless people also have homes and roots."

"This village has been passed down for decades, and everyone has supported each other. Even though I was born with white hair, no one abandoned me."

Yuan Qingya looked up in surprise.

“How long can a village of nomads like this last?”

"How can I put it? Lucky enough?"

".It's not just luck. People die. My parents died at the hands of bandits. Many villagers died at the hands of wild beasts, monsters, and even samurai masters. The size of the village is shrinking day by day, but luckily it still exists."

"However, they are lucky to have met a provincial governor like you. They should have a good life."

Yuan Qingya stood up indifferently.

"Well, whatever you wish."

"I'm not assuming these people with the utmost malice, but the way they look at you is nothing but disdain and disgust. Where is the warmth in them?"

"Poor mountains and bad waters give rise to bad people. In such a harsh living environment, there are no so-called good people."

Ah Qing seemed to dislike this topic. He turned his head away and answered the question irrelevantly: "Hey, you are hiring me to serve as an official. What position are you going to give me?"

Yuan Qingya realized that she wanted to change the subject, shrugged and made a joke.

"Position?"

"How about the city lord's wife? I have not married yet, and my wife is vacant. I am willing to prepare the bed for you."

For some reason, Yuan Qingya felt good getting along with this knowledgeable girl and they had a lot in common.

It could also be that the people he meets on a daily basis are either his enemies or his humble subordinates. He hasn't had this kind of equal communication since he left Heian-kyo and said goodbye to his blood-related brothers and sisters.

Of course, even so, the so-called principal wife is just a joke. If he really wants to get married, Xing in the family will definitely be placed in the front row.

This joke did not make the girl angry.

"Hmph, stop being so smooth-talking. How can a noble Genji from Heian-kyō be interested in a country girl like me?"

"Those noble ladies are your ideal match."

“I’m not good-looking.”

The last sentence was spoken in a very low voice, but Yuan Qingya still heard it.

"You are a man of culture and knowledge, so don't underestimate yourself. I think you are much cuter than those sickly ladies in Heian-kyō."

"They don't know as much as you do."

"Seriously, as long as you can help me, in Edo Castle. No, in Musashi, besides me, your words are the most effective."

"how?"

Ah Qing glanced at Yuan Qingya with a smile, and looked quite satisfied.

"Well, he is second to none, and above ten thousand people. He is quite sincere."

"Then don't forget what you said!"

Yuan Qingya nodded and gave a somewhat gentle smile.

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word."

"That's it."

"See you later."

Although Minamoto Kiyomasa was still the ruler of a country, he could not run around outside every day. After he returned to Edo Castle, he instructed Fuma to lead a few skilled men to protect the treasure girl who had been found, and then he threw himself into his busy work.

But what he waited for was not the vagrants who migrated to Edo Castle, but a piece of bad news that was neither big nor small.

A few days later, at noon.

After dinner, Minamoto Kiyomasa planned to go to the town to see the progress of the temporary housing that was being built to accommodate the rapidly increasing population.

As soon as he went out, he saw a flash before his eyes. A man in black nimbly jumped out from the street corner, came to him and knelt on one knee.

Yuan Qingya knew this man. He was a disciple under Fuma and learned all the ninja skills. His combat ability was mediocre, but he was good at spying on military situations and collecting intelligence.

"Report, Master Yuan, Master has sent me a message. Something has happened in the suburbs. Please rush over."

Yuan Qingya's eyes turned cold and he ordered his men to prepare the horses without hesitation.
