In the end, the only car they had left was a white car.

Xiao Jingyan looked at Jiang Zhihao, who was standing in the corner and looking at him eagerly, and smiled approvingly.

This color really suits him, clean, pure, without any clutter.

After the five of them had chosen their cars, Wang Tiezhu thought about it and couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, the fairy is so kind to us, thinking of us in everything and even buying us such an expensive mount. Shouldn't we also show some appreciation?"

He is the most conscientious one. In the past two months, they have been taken care of by the fairy so much that it can be said that the new life of all of them was given by the fairy in the painting.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Tiezhu even thought about building a temple for the fairy in the painting, where she could receive incense and offerings and ascend to heaven as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of this opportunity today, he can finally express his thoughts.

"Old Wang, this is a good idea!"

As soon as he said this, Liu Deyou quickly agreed with him.

No wonder they are the closest in the army. Only people with the same IQ can play together.

Sure enough, where there is a sleeping dragon, there is a phoenix chick.

The third conspicuous Bao Zhiren said:

"Brother Wang is absolutely right. I've heard before that many gods and immortals need incense and offerings from the mortal world before they can truly become immortals."

"I think we should pool our money and build a temple for the Immortal in the Painting. We can have the Xiao Family Army and the people of Lingyao City come and offer sacrifices to him, and help him achieve immortality as soon as possible!"

Zhimo and Guo Wen, who had higher IQs, looked at each other. They simply didn't want to pay any attention to these three idiots.

Xiao Jingyan also had a dark face.

Is it okay to build a temple for living people?

Besides, he had selfish motives. He didn't want Shi Xi to ascend to become a god. If that happened, there would be no possibility for him and her to be together.

"Forget about building a temple. Fairies prefer gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and porcelain."

"If you have any of these things in your account, you can give her more. She will be very happy."

Xiao Jingyan hurriedly explained that they couldn't really let them build a temple for Shi Xi!

"These things are easy to deal with. We will go back and get them now."

"But we don't have many of these things with us on this expedition. Why don't we all write letters back to the capital and ask our families to help send some over?"

The one organized by Liu Deyou is the most fun.

As a lonely man, he had long wanted to sell his house in the capital and settle down in Lingyao City.

"There's no need to rush this matter. I plan to drive this RV to the capital once I've thoroughly learned how to drive and bring all of your relatives to Lingyao City."

Xiao Jingyan talked about the idea he had planned with Shi Xi before.

When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with disbelief.

They couldn't imagine, was the prince serious?

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty!"

"These cars are of strange shapes. If they were to drive into the capital, they would surely attract attention along the way. Not only would we be unable to save their families, but we would also implicate you, Your Highness."

Zhimo spoke first to stop him.

Xiao Jingyan raised an eyebrow and said, "When I drive into the capital, my Xiao family army will declare an uprising!"

He dared to be so arrogant because he didn't want to consider the consequences anymore and wanted to rebel directly.

As soon as he said this, everyone quieted down and fell silent.

Perhaps to ease the atmosphere, Xiao Jingyan asked again:

"Do you have a better plan to rescue Lao Wang and Lao Guo's relatives and get them out of Beijing?"

No one spoke.

They naturally knew very well the current situation of their family.

As fourth-rank generals, their status was different from that of ordinary soldiers and they were more subject to the control of the imperial court.

From the day they followed the Xiao family army to war, their families became hostages of the imperial court.

If Xiao Jingyan had any intention of rebellion, the first ones to suffer would be their families.

The new emperor, Prime Minister Pei and others were very sure that Xiao Jingyan would not disregard the lives of his subordinates and relatives, and they would use this trick to control him tightly.

"Your Highness, I have made some progress on the body I went to investigate."

Wang Tiezhu suddenly spoke up and changed the subject.

"explain."

Xiao Jingyan was also quite curious about this.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth with a special pattern.

"This is……?"

Xiao Jingyan frowned and looked at it. The fabric looked a little familiar to him.

"Your Highness, this is the cloth torn from the corpse. It has been cleaned. Where do you think it came from?"

Wang Tiezhu did not tell Xiao Jingyan the answer directly, but asked him instead.

Xiao Jingyan narrowed his eyes, looked at the fabric carefully again, and confirmed:

"This is the uniform of the Imperial Guard!"

His words were exactly what Wang Tiezhu was thinking.

But Wang Tiezhu himself didn't dare to say it, for fear of angering Xiao Jingyan.

When they mentioned this, Zhimo also bowed and reported:

"Your Highness, I have also found the group of people who blew up the mountain in Wuyue City. They are indeed wearing clothes similar to those of the Imperial Guards."

"Without the prince's order, I dare not act rashly, for fear of alerting the enemy. I just follow them."

Xiao Jingyan nodded.

During the seven days that I was practicing driving, I still hadn’t dealt with the matters in the military camp.

Now, it's time to do some official business.

"Zhiren, how is the food distribution going over there?"

Xiao Jingyan gave Zhiren a look and asked him to report his work on his own initiative.

"Recently, more and more people have come to collect food. In addition to the originally poor families, even many wealthy merchants and gentry have come."

"After investigation, we found that they really had no food at home, and they were even willing to pay a high price to get food."

"I didn't take their money privately. I told them that the prince would not discriminate. All the people in the city, regardless of their wealth, can receive food."

Having said that, Zhi Ren was already prepared to be blamed by Xiao Jingyan.

However, he received praise from Xiao Jingyan.

"You did a great job on this matter, but you must find out whether those people are really out of food or just pretending."

He reminded again worriedly.

Zhiren nodded in assurance.

Xiao Jingyan turned his gaze to Guo Wen again.

Guo Wen bowed and said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already secured two mines."

"We can be sure there are mines on the mountain, but we don't know if they are coal or gold. We have to dig to find out."

Xiao Jingyan was very satisfied with the result, whether it was a gold mine or a coal mine.

"Don't move for now. I'll ask the fairy. Maybe she can find a better way to tell the difference."

He had heard Shi Xi talk about some testing equipment before, and he wanted it.

"Yes, I will never act rashly without your permission!"

Guo Wen accepted the order.

After saying this, he did not forget to tell Xiao Jingyan a good news.

After spending the past few days with Gu Yehe, Guo Wen felt that Gu Yehe would most likely agree to their previous invitation and come to help the Xiao family army manufacture thunder bombs.

Therefore, he simply wanted Xiao Jingyan to build another factory to produce thunder bombs next to the garment factory and hire more people who had no food to eat to help.

Xiao Jingyan also felt that this was a win-win situation, but after all, Gu Yehe had not yet made up his mind, and he did not want to make a risky investment. He planned to wait until Gu Yehe completely agreed before discussing the construction of the factory.
