Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Seeing her staring at the desk in a daze, Qu Qing was a little annoyed. What was this stupid woman planning?

Seeing this, Xie Xian hurriedly said, "Xian is willing to grind ink for you, sir." She lowered her head with a slightly red face. Qu Qing took a big step back. Forget it, he was overthinking it.

"As long as I can be nicer to Du Lang." Veins popped out on Qu Qing's face.

The steward brought Xie Xian out quickly and closed the door. From inside, Qu Qing's earth-shattering cough was heard.

He wiped the sweat from his round face and whispered, "Oh! My aunt, please say less!" Didn't you see that Mr. Qu was almost annoyed.

Xie Xian lifted her skirt and followed: "But I'm worried about Du Lang."

"But you can't sacrifice your life for him! Let me tell you, bookkeeping is not tiring, and you can eat better. It's much better than doing those coolies..."

The sky gradually darkened, and the flickering candlelight in the corridor revealed Xie Xian's grim expression. She responded to Manager Fu's words absent-mindedly.

She frowned and thought about it over and over again in her mind. She didn't expect to see the picture on Qu Qing's desk.

She had drawn it herself, and every line was very familiar to her. But seeing that Qu Qing had only copied half of it, there seemed to be a few failed works on the ground.

Xie Xian chuckled. This Qionglou Village, with all the evil spirits gathered here, was becoming more and more interesting.

At this moment, everyone in Taozhuang was solemn.

"Are you sure that Ah Xian is safe?" Xie Changhuan paced in the room.

Liu Yu was kneeling on the ground at this moment, with his head down and not saying a word.

"This Qionglou Village is not simple. There are people from the army and crossbows!" Old Suo looked at the crossbow in his hand over and over again.

There was also a straight knife on the table, which was also a military standard, and everyone present was quite familiar with it.

"At the critical moment, the lady relied on Mr. Du to protect us!" Liu Yu said in a hoarse voice.

Suo Lao narrowed his eyes and remained unmoved, "What did the lady say at that time?"

Liu Yu paused, coughed twice, and repeated Xie Xian's original words.

Everyone in the room:......

Our queen can't be so crazy! Uncle Xie twitched his lips, thinking that Liu Yu's word "dependence" was still a bit implicit.

After being interrupted by this, everyone suddenly felt less worried about Xie Xian being captured. What was going on?

The atmosphere in the hall was no longer so depressing. Liu Yu continued, "At that time, Master Du announced his name, which attracted the bandits to gather. It seems that Master Du was their main target."

"The most important thing now is how to pass the message in the tiankeng! This is a remote place, it is difficult to go up and down, and there is only one road." It's a bit difficult!

Holding a crossbow in his hand, Suo Lao whispered, "If you say there is only one way out of this tiankeng, I don't believe it! You know, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but this entrance is hard to find!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. As locals, they also knew that these underground rivers, caves and tunnels were interconnected and many places were rarely visited, so it was easy to get lost once you entered.

But some elderly people who have lived in the mountains all year round are quite familiar with these terrains in order to avoid taxes.

Xie Changhuan said: "Then I'll leave this matter to Master Suo!" He knew that the black-robed attendant beside his father was most familiar with the surrounding villages, and there was no more suitable candidate than him.

Suo Lao nodded, stood up and said: "Sixth Brother, don't worry too much. Weng Jun said that when a young eagle spreads its wings and a young tiger roars in the forest, I, Xie Family's Xing Jun, will definitely make all the beasts tremble with fear."

Xie Changhuan's expression relaxed slightly. Ah Xian was not a delicate girl. She was the mistress of the Xie family. She was smart and quick-witted. For an ordinary girl, this action would be a life-threatening one.

For Ah Xian, there is no risk without gaining the tiger cub.

He adjusted his facial expression and asked Liu Yu to stand up. "Since Lord Xing has ordered to wait, you should just act according to the situation. It will take some time to get news from Qionglou Village."

Liu Yu nodded, his eyes sparkling. Only at this moment did he truly realize that as the Lord of Punishment, both the Black Stone Guards and the Xie family would re-examine Xie Xian's status in their hearts.

Xie Xian had no idea that her identity as a delicate girl was no longer secure.

However, Xie Changhuan didn't expect that just after seeing off Suo Lao, a new visitor would arrive.

The first thing Chu Mo said when he saw Xie Changhuan was: "I have a friend in Qionglou Village."

Xie Changhuan's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and then he slowly put it down. He knew Chu Mo and his group, and Taozhuang was not big.

In order to facilitate the experiment, Xie Xian built a drum wheel by the river. With its huge force, it crushed the black stone, causing the production of honeycomb coal to surge.

The main courtyard at the back was where Xie Xian and he lived, separated from the front yard by two walls. The Black Stone Guards naturally went through the small door in the back yard for their work, so the two sides rarely intersected.

Xie Changhuan only knew that Xie Xian had agreed to do some experiment with hundreds of people in the martial arts world, but he didn't ask for details.

But he still knew Chu Mo. After all, he was a leader of the Mohist School. Xie Xian also said that the improvement of the carriage was thanks to this person's help.

He looked at the handsome young man in linen clothes in front of him, his mind racing. Liu Yu had just returned and would definitely not tell him about Xie Xian, so how did he know?

Chu Mo's face was firm and he lowered his eyes, allowing Xie Changhuan to look at him. He knew that it was a bit offensive to say this at the moment.

But when he learned that Xie Xian was in danger, he couldn't help but come and ask for a meeting.

"This is my Xie family's business!" Xie Changhuan said calmly. He guessed that maybe Xie Xian could be considered a partner to the Mohists, so they offered their help, but he knew that it was not easy to repay the favors of the Bai families.

Chu Mo frowned slightly: "My lady has done a great favor to our Mo family." So they owed Xie Xian a favor first.

Xie Changhuan pursed his lips slightly. What else does Xie Xian know that I don't know? The Mo family has always had many strange things, so there should be a way to pass on the message.

"Ah Xian, this time we are here to eliminate violence and uphold justice. Your friend in Qionglou Village..." Xie Changhuan deliberately paused at the word "friend".

People from the Bai family have always been casual, but this is the first time he has heard of someone working in a bandit's den. He is a little curious about what this friend Chu Mo mentioned is like.

Chu Mo was somewhat stunned. After a long pause, he finally said, "My friend is from the Zongheng family."

The most despised people in the martial arts world nowadays are those who follow the path of rats, who are regarded as the shame of the martial arts world. The Hundred Schools are much more mysterious than the Green Forest in the martial arts world. Their numbers are small, but they have strengths in all aspects.

But there are rankings among the Hundred Schools of Thought. Confucianism and Taoism compete for the top positions, but the only one that is always at the bottom is the School of Diplomacy.

There is no other reason. The strategists were very cunning and they formed alliances with all kinds of enemies. They were at their peak during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But later, after the Central Plains was divided and unified, the birds flew away and the good bows were put away.

You are kidding, powerful and aristocratic families, who dares to support the disciples of the Zongheng family now, what do you want to do? The extreme suppression from the imperial power reduced demand, and the Zongheng family went into decline.

The remaining strategists, eager to prove themselves in order to survive, act recklessly, causing others to hate and despise them, and then they continue to lower their standards, and the cycle continues.

Generally speaking, the School of Diplomacy is at the bottom of the list among all the schools of thought, and its status is comparable to that of the martial artists who follow the rat path.

So if you say that Baijia is working in a bandit’s lair, I don’t believe it, but if you say that he is a strategist, oh! Then I believe it.
