With the Black Stone Guards joining in, the rocks were quickly cleared away. Qing Dai threw herself into Xie Xian's arms. She had been worried these days. "Is the lady injured?"

"I'm fine, but it's hard to say about your sister Zhen," Xie Xian glanced at Tu Zhen behind her.

This guy has suffered a lot following me this time.

"It's nothing!" Tu Zhen turned away uncomfortably in response to Qingdai's concern.

But she was still grateful to Xie Xian. She had a fever at the time, but she never expected that Xie Xian would humble herself and take care of her.

Although the food was prepared by Xin Sanniang, Xie Xian was the only one who took care of the chores such as covering the quilt, feeding water and wiping the body.

She had always felt guilty towards Xie Xian, and after this incident, she was even more inclined to Xie Xian's side.

Xie Xian didn't think so much about it. When in trouble, it is human instinct to stick together for warmth.

The old chief and several other people let the rain pour down on them, but they no longer wanted to stay in the corridor.

He knew that he was finally saved. He learned Xie Xian's true identity from Niu Er. At this moment, he looked through the rain at Xie Xian who had taken off her outer robe. The white tiger on the shoulder of her red martial arts uniform was so dazzling and reassuring.

"Arrange a few people to go into the cave and notify everyone to evacuate, and don't alert the enemy in the tiankeng!" Xie Xian drank a sip of hot water and changed her dirty clothes. Only then did she feel alive again.

Si Ji bowed: "Yes!"

"Also, this is Qu Qing, a new retainer I recruited. He is good at military affairs and knows Qionglou Village very well."

Liu Yu and others looked at the young scholar following behind Xie Xian with delight and surprise on their faces. They did not expect that their queen would have a counselor to come to her.

"Hey, you must be the strategist that Chu Mo mentioned!" Niu Er jumped out again at some point, and he successfully silenced the people on both sides as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xie Xian looked at Qu Qing with interest: "Oh? What did Chu Mo say about me?" The girl in red, with a clean face, had a playful look on her jade-like face.

Qu Qing felt his scalp tingling at this moment. He was familiar with military books, but he was not familiar with the girl's words of praise!

"Brother Chu and I exchange letters mostly about mechanical creations." I guess you're not interested if I say that!

"Oh, you guys are still talking about this!" Xie Xian was in a good mood, so she said a few words. But the more Qu Qing talked, the more he realized that Xie Xian knew as much as he did.

It turned out that many of Chu Mo's things were actually based on drawings by Xie Xian. At this moment, all his resentment turned into admiration.

Our lady is brave, resourceful and resourceful. If such a wise ruler were a man...

Qu Qing lowered his eyes respectfully and followed Xie Xian.

Si Ji and Liu Yu watched as their own queen recruited a capable assistant. They wanted to make friends with the other party, so they approached her to start a conversation and successfully pushed Niu Er out of their circle.

But Niu Er was unaware of anything and was squatting on the ground bragging to the old headman.

"Hey, let me tell you, our queen is determined to wipe out Qionglou Village!" This place has a dangerous terrain and there is a private salt mine. Now that it has been taken down, the Black Stone Guard will be able to get involved in the future.

With a smile on his face, he asked kindly, "How many people are there in your cave? Is it convenient to travel in this weather?"

"Also, there is a mine owned by our Lady Lord in Que County. They are really hiring people. They provide food and drink, and they also give out cotton clothes."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this? Did they have a way out?

"Niu Er, keep going. The treatment in our mine is first-rate. Many people want to get in but can't!"

The dark and thin man asked weakly, "What are the conditions for mining?"

"Your weight must not be less than 80 kilograms. You are very hungry and need to replenish your body. Do some light work to gain some weight!" Niu Er said as a matter of course.

Several people looked at each other, fortunately few of them could meet the standard.

At first, they thought they were going to be forced to work as miners, but after all, Xie Xian had saved so many of them, so they should do some work. But after hearing what Niu Er said, they realized that they were not worthy.

The old chief smiled and asked, "How should we arrange it?" He could tell that the military commander was trying to warn them.

Although the lady saved them, she had no obligation to support them forever, so they still had to fend for themselves.

After hearing what Niu Er meant, he felt relieved. This was the best way.

"It's up to you guys. Que County has just accepted nearly 10,000 refugees. A few hundred of you won't make a big difference!"

"We are so shameless to ask for your help!"

"Of course not!" Niu Er said proudly. Now in Que County, when people talk about Xie Xian, everyone speaks well of her. The noble families don't know, but there are many people at the bottom of society who have received the favor of the female monarch. Some people even offer longevity tablets to Xie Xian at home.

I just don't know if the lady likes this. Niu Er glanced at Xie Xian guiltily.

The refugees in the tunnel looked at the gloomy sky outside and let out low cheers; they were finally saved.

"There are not enough clothes for these refugees. We need to arrange some." Qu Qing learned from Si Ji and Liu Yu about the arrangements made by the second branch of the Xie family for the refugees through the conversation just now.

He was kind to the common people but ruthless to those who deserved to be killed. He couldn't help but wonder why he didn't surrender to the queen earlier.

Well, it’s not too late to join now. There happen to be some wandering disciples in my sect. I can write to them and ask them!

It took a whole day to send hundreds of refugees safely to Que County. After the last car left, Xie Xian said that Gan Hu would die when the weather cleared.

After Du Xin returned to Pingcheng, he met the sweaty Pingcheng magistrate with a stern face, but it was really not anyone else's fault. It was all an unprovoked disaster. Du Xin understood that this was a factional struggle in the court, and he himself was implicated.

So he only said a few words and let them go. He walked to the backyard and saw Mu He: "Uncle Mu? Did you say Madam Xian and the others came out?"

Mu He was holding an account book in his hand at the moment, checking the ransom sent this time. These were all paid by Pingcheng Ling. He heard the day before yesterday that Du Xin was in trouble and still needed a ransom.

The Pingcheng magistrate was immediately frightened to death and sent money and goods overnight, saying that this poor and bad mountain area only produced unruly people, which frightened Master Du and made him extremely frightened.

So in the end, although his son suffered, he also made a small fortune.

When Mu He heard Du Xin's question, he looked at his young master's expression, which seemed a little conflicted. Could it be that he was really interested in Madam Xian?

But it seemed like it was beyond the capacity of a single guard leader like him, so he simply told everyone all the information he had gotten.

"You mean, Madam Xian is very likely the daughter of the Xie family?" Du Xin looked incredulous.

"The girl of Xie family is graceful, brave and likes to wear red clothes. She is the granddaughter of Red Blood God of War Xie Yun. She is in charge of the Black Stone Guards of the border army. It is said that she is very smart and was awarded Viscount because of her work on refugees." Mu He unfolded the latest intelligence he had collected.

He was also a little confused. Was the Mr. Xing of the Xie family mentioned in the paper the same person as the girl who asked his son for chestnut cakes in prison?

Du Xin was incredulous. That savage and evil woman actually had such a big reputation. When he thought about how he always suffered at the hands of Xie Xian, it was not unacceptable.
