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

Since Du Xin was able to escape, and Xie Xian was apparently a woman dependent on him, it was reasonable for her to go with him.

Although this woman's origins are unknown, she has helped him a lot these days. According to Mu He, this woman is smart and must be no ordinary person.

The lady in red stood in the shadows. Her clothes were a little worn, but her flaws did not outweigh her merits. Even under the cover of dust, her eyes were still sparkling.

When Du Xin saw her looking at him, he suddenly felt his face getting hot for some reason.

"No, I still have things to finish!" came the girl's faint voice.

"Excuse me, is this for the refugees here?" Mu He took two steps forward.

He has been thinking about it over and over again these days. This place has nothing but salt mines, and there are only a few hundred refugees left in the mines. But who among the powerful people in this world treats refugees as human beings?

So he guessed that this girl must have come here as a refugee.

Xie Xian paused and didn't look back.

Mu He bowed and said, "May I ask your name, sir?" (The word "sir" here refers to a respected person, regardless of gender)

After they walked away, a vague voice came: "My last name is Xie."

"Thank you, family! Que County, Black Stone Guard!" Mu He understood, this made sense.

Du Xin was curious, "Xie family, huh?"

"Young Master, don't you like the story of the Red Blood War God the most?" Mu He said slowly with a smile on his face.

Xie Xian felt that she didn't have much time left. The refugees in the mine had already noticed Gan Hu's plan, but they were helpless. Once it came to this, people without hope were the most terrifying.

Gan Hu and his men were unable to resist, and had no place to vent their madness. The only ones in danger now were the elderly, the weak, women and children. Xie Xian didn't dare to gamble on human nature, so she could only make plans early.

She found Xin Sanniang and unfolded the blueprint of the mine in her hand, "You have been here longer than me, is there any way out?" Xie Xian didn't have much hope, but still asked this question.

Most of the passage under this tiankeng is under water, and given the weather, you can’t really blame everyone for not trying hard enough.

Xin Sanniang looked at the map in her hand, frowned slightly, and thought for a moment before saying, "This underground passage was tried by someone a few months ago."

Seeing that there was no joy on her face, Xie Xian had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, the next moment she heard Xin Sanniang say again.

"When the weather was warm, some people waded through the water to explore, but many of the passages led downwards, and very few led upwards. Some people almost couldn't come back, so the matter was later abandoned."

"Are there any that go upwards?" Xie Xian's eyes lit up. This direction should be correct.

Xie Xian said: "I want to meet that person."

Xin Sanniang looked at Xie Xian's serious eyes and nodded slightly.

At night, several people gathered in Xie Xian's warehouse.

"Of the three upward corridors, two are impassable and the rest are dead ends," said a thin man.

He is the pathfinder. They have been trying to find a solution these days. Some of the refugees are lifeless, but some are actively looking for a way out.

The man used charcoal to draw on the wall the several paths they had found. The one that went down was hopeless. "The only one that could be passed was a dead end at the end of the corridor."

An old man sighed and said, "That road is the most promising. We tried digging, but the rock wall was too hard. We wasted two pickaxes. We didn't continue because we were afraid of being discovered."

Xie Xian nodded when she heard this: "I know about this, what about now?"

"A few days ago, the bandits took away all the tools." They really didn't leave them any chance to survive.

The bandits also had concerns, fearing that the refugees would have tools in their hands and could dig through the rocks and escape.

"What a bunch of bastards!"

"They never thought of leaving us a chance to live!" Everyone was furious for a moment, but the old man raised his hand to suppress them.

"Madam Xian, I heard that the nobleman who came with you has sent someone to negotiate the ransom. Why do you still want to get involved in our affairs?"

Just now, when Xin Sanniang came to talk to him about this matter, he was wondering, this Madam Xian looked like a lady from a noble family, and she could just go out with the young master of that noble family, so why did they, a group of people with no way out, want to get involved.

"Could it be that you were sent by them to monitor us?" someone speculated maliciously.

"That's right. You're close to that group of bandits." Xie Xian was able to get a small manager position as soon as she arrived, which was still a cause for envy.

The old man knocked the ground with the stick in his hand, looked at Xie Xian and said, "I believe Madam Xian is not that kind of person."

When Xie Xian first came, she was a delicate girl, and everyone guessed that a girl who eloped with that young man would not survive for more than a few days.

But she didn't expect that seeing someone in the laundry room would almost scare the hot-tempered Widow Liu into peeing her pants. Seeing that person being called by Mr. Qu, she ended up becoming a manager.

Although there are rumors that every time Madam Xian entered Mr. Qu's room, Mr. Qu would be unhappy for a long time.

Everyone imagined a beautiful lady with red sleeves, but something always felt wrong.

In the end, everyone discovered that Xie Xian could actually move around everywhere, and everyone thought it was normal.

The old man was knowledgeable and experienced. Just the strength that Xie Xian used to intimidate Widow Liu was not simple. Moreover, Xie Xian's attitude towards them, the refugees, was very different from that of those people from aristocratic families.

I also heard that Xie Xian asked for a lot of food from her so-called "lover" several times and gave it to her maid.

Every time Xie Xian left, the young man didn't seem very happy, so it was difficult to judge.

"I hope Madam Xian can give us an explanation." The men in the room stared at Xie Xian with eager eyes.

Xie Xian sat at the table, smiling and saying, "You guys are really brave. You were submissive in front of the bandits, but you hit a little girl like me hard. Tsk tsk!"

I came to help, but these people still couldn't see the situation clearly. Xie Xian never indulges anyone.

"It's already this late, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What does Madam Ren Xian want from you?" Seeing that the talks were about to break down, Xin Sanniang couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke up for Xie Xian.

Xie Xian's house is called a warehouse, but it is actually inside a mine. If the entrance is blocked, she won't be able to escape.

So from the very beginning, Xin Sanniang knew that Xie Xian was here to help them. Now that Xie Xian came to them, she definitely could not follow that young master. If there was any hope, who would be willing to give up?

But what she didn't know was that Xie Xian had voluntarily given up the opportunity to get out. To deal with this dangerous area, killing all the bandits was a small matter, but this salt mine would definitely be targeted by someone, and based on the terrain, they could abduct people and do more evil.

If you want to completely solve the problem, you must find a second way. In this way, the dangerous place will no longer exist and all problems will be solved.

What Xie Xian did was to look for the possibility of a second way.

However, if you want someone to do something, you have to give them some benefits. Xie Xian said calmly: "I came here only to suppress the bandits."

She looked calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

The old man frowned and asked, "Suppress the bandits?" Everyone looked at each other, not expecting that they were going after the bandits.
