After Wu Nu and the others left, Xie Xian's brows twitched when she saw Xie Miao's puzzled look.

Under the pressure of Xie Xian's glare, Xie Miao said: "Why do you say that, lady, admiration..."

It is true that for a woman like her, it is difficult to utter such sweet words, but the lady cannot tell anything about the eldest wife's daily behavior.

Tu Zhen, who appeared silently at the door, nodded seriously. Yes, she didn't notice it either.

"Princess Jing'an is the mother of Dalangjun. She is too arrogant," Xie Miao paused and realized that the princess was playing hard to get.

Seeing the coldness in Xie Xian’s eyes.

Tu Zhen recalled the unpleasantness between the Lady and the Young Master some time ago. She was startled and asked, "Does the Young Master know about this?"

Xie Xian glanced at her: "What does it have to do with Xie An?"

Tu Zhen's expression was blank for a moment. She glanced at Xie Miao and saw that she understood the situation. Then she looked at Xie Xian who continued to sip tea leisurely.

Neither of them had the intention to explain to her, so just give up. The master said if you can't figure it out, just don't think about it.

Why not have a fight with Gao Shi and the others? Tu Zhen thought that he had been running errands for the Mo family members these days and felt that his swordsmanship had deteriorated.

Ten days later, outside Kangjian City, in an unnamed village.

"Hey! Finally something interesting!" A one-armed man in linen clothes took the letter with a cold face. He was a burly man and even though winter was approaching, he still had half of his chest exposed.

He unfolded the letter in silence, glanced at it, and when he saw the folded book at the end, he frowned slightly, "Is what the lady said in the letter true? Can the black stone really be used as firewood?"

Wu Nu didn't say anything. He silently took out another letter and said, "This is the letter from Master Liu."

"Hey, you've got something to hide from me." The one-armed man took it while cursing and laughing.

After reading the letter, his expression changed, and he took out a black Xie's Yu card from the envelope. "Are you serious?" He touched his chin and frowned.

"Black Stone Yu Card!" Seeing the shiny black Xie's Yu Card in his hand, everyone in the room couldn't help but get a little agitated.

Since Xie Xian returned to Que County, the people stationed in Kangjian became idle. Apart from the daily intelligence gathering, the rest of their work was to test the torture methods left by Xie Xian.

After the autumn, some parts of the south suffered from poor harvests, and the barbarians in the north were ready to make a move. It was said that all the officials in the court were so busy that the atmosphere in the city was visibly depressing.

Even the dandies who usually ride horses and parade through the streets are locked up at home by their elders and are not allowed to go out on the streets to cause trouble. Now the emperor is in urgent need of a way to break the impasse.

There was constant whispering in the hall.

"Hmm?" Uncle Wu's eyes shone, and everyone fell silent. The murderous aura coming from the old soldier made it difficult for everyone to speak.

"The master has given the order, and a big job has come!" he said in a deep voice.

Everyone's eyes lit up, "Boss, what kind of work is this? Why did you even take out the Black Stone card?" They were really itching to do it.

"This black stone token is related to the main vein. My lady, I want to hand over the method of making charcoal from black stone to the master." There was an inexplicable expression on his face.

Everyone's faces changed slightly: "What? What does the main vein have to do with me, Chen Jun and Xie?"

“That’s right. Didn’t we break up for free in the beginning?” someone said.

But there are also people who are careful and thoughtful. "The main branch of the Xie family also has several black stone mines. What are the conditions for the exchange of this charcoal making method?"

Seeing that someone finally got to the point, Uncle Wu slowly said, "Help Mr. Weng escape from this predicament!"

The room was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly there was an uproar.

Everyone's faces turned red with excitement, "Really?"

"Great! As I said, the Lady is powerful. The Thousand Machine Battalion members who returned from the rotation are all obedient."

Some people agreed that although they were far away in Kangjian, news from Weizhong was delivered regularly by carrier pigeons.

Xie Xian's deeds in Que County were also spread through private correspondence between the guards. Xie Changhuan acquiesced, thinking that this would help improve Xie Xian's reputation, and did not stop it.

They were excited for a moment, then calmed down.

“But will the Xie family’s main branch help us?” someone questioned.

In the matter of Xie Yun, the main branch showed no mercy at all. Now, many years have passed, and only the eldest branch is close to the main branch, but it is hard to say about the others.

"Did your lady accept the marriage proposal from the eldest wife?" an old soldier asked.

Although this matter was not deliberately concealed, those who worked on intelligence knew it very well. "No wonder, this makes sense."

Everyone looked a little lonely. If the lady was really taken into Xie An's room, what would their persistence over the years mean?

Seeing that everyone had sad faces, Uncle Wu frowned and said, "What a bunch of useless guys, they only know how to talk nonsense." "If the lady had agreed to the marriage proposal from the eldest wife, there would have been news of it long ago. But the lady has been back to the clan for more than a month. Have you ever heard of the rumor that the lady and the eldest wife are close?"

Everyone suddenly realized, yes, Xie Xian had been back for less than a few months, but she had turned the sect upside down. Not only did she beat people in the meeting hall, she also set up a discipline hall.

"Hehe, I heard that the youngsters in the tribe are most afraid of our female monarch now."

Everyone watched Xie Xian grow up, so they naturally treated her as their own niece. They were proud to have such an outstanding girl.

"This time, what should we do if they don't agree with the main lineage's work? Even if we give out the secret technique, they will swallow it." What should we do?

Wu Nu, who was standing in the corner without any sense of existence, suddenly said, "My Lady said that the more people know about the black stone charcoal making, the better!"

Everyone's eyes brightened, as they no longer had to worry about him embezzling the money.

But they are not on good terms with the main vein, "what if the main vein is unwilling to help?" The problem is back to the starting point. The main vein is under pressure and cannot keep the secret technique to itself, so it will definitely compensate a little in public.

Expecting him to ask for help in the court is simply a pipe dream.

The one-armed man sitting in the main seat fell into deep thought. The lady in the letter only said that someone would help her, but did not say who it was. However, since it was mentioned specifically, it must not be someone from the main lineage.

Another force?

"Has the lady ever had any contact with any other forces?"

"It is said that Kang Jian has popularized the eating of bean sprouts. If I remember correctly, this thing is a secret technique in the hands of the lady!"

Everyone's mind moved, bean sprouts, grain store, that must be the Cui family.

Uncle Wu's eyes lit up, now it made sense.

Xie Xian, who was far away in Taozhuang, did not expect that her own intelligence organization was so powerful. They basically uncovered her plan completely, but she did not reveal it all.

One reason is distrust, and the other is that there is no need. Being responsible for only knowing part of the goals can avoid exposing the plan to the greatest extent.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Uncle Five was about to arrange the specific agenda. He turned around and saw Wu Nu standing beside him, looking at him quietly.

He made a tactical retreat, and under his scrutinizing gaze, Wu Nu spoke, "The Lady has one more thing to say."

"The fact that my lady loves Mr. Xie must be known to Princess Jing'an."

Everyone: "!!!"

No, I just said that, didn’t it?

The one-armed man seemed to have thought of something and asked, "What was your expression when you said this?"

This sentence is really strange.

Amid the gloomy looks of the crowd, Wu Nu said with difficulty: "It's the same expression you have now." That was the look of wanting to kill someone with a knife.
