An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Seeing that Jing Chunxi was unmoved and refused to return no matter what he said, Xu Zize's face showed a look of resignation. He could not get angry with her, so he could only bear it and try to stay calm. He knew too well how stubborn the girl was.

However, he no longer looked at Jing Chunxi, but instead glanced at Qingfeng and Luying. There was a hint of sharpness in his gaze, as if silently conveying some order.

Qingfeng and Luying had followed their master for many years and were familiar with his every look and movement. How could they not understand what he meant? The two of them exchanged a glance, understanding each other, and then respectfully withdrew.

Ah Qi, standing aside, also noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere. He felt a little hesitant, his eyes moving back and forth between Xu Zize and Jing Chunxi, but in the end he chose to stand still and not move.

Jing Chunxi knew that Xu Zize had something to say to him, so he could only wave to Ah Qi, signaling him to leave first. Seeing this, Ah Qi, although still having doubts in his heart, knew that the prince was doing this for the young lady's good, so he obediently withdrew.

Only Jing Chunxi and Xu Zize were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Jing Chunxi had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She thought: Since her grandfather and uncle have already taken sides, it is time for her to go all out and naturally stand with her grandfather's family.

This way, there would be no need to hide some things from Xu Zize. At this time, hiding things would not help him, but would only put Xu Zize in a dangerous vortex. Her eyes were firm, and she was mentally prepared to confess.

However, before she could open her mouth, Xu Zize spoke first, speaking very slowly: "In fact, on the eve of her passing, the Empress Dowager left me her five thousand gold shadow guards. With them here, Brother Xiaokang will be fine. Xi'er, don't worry and go back."

Sure enough, he still tried his best to persuade her to return. Jing Chunxi was not willing to do so. Even though he knew that he had such help, he was still worried.

Although the Golden Shadow Guards were powerful, their numbers were limited. Facing tens of thousands of enemy troops, they would probably find it difficult to turn the tide. But if she were there, the situation would be very different.

She raised her head, looked directly at Xu Zize, and asked in a firm tone, "What does Brother Xiaokang lack most right now?"

The girl in front of him had skin that was even whiter and more translucent, as if it were a carefully carved jade, delicate and warm. At this moment, her eyes looking at him were smart, bright and clear like water.

Xu Zize was stunned by her sudden question, but he also knew that the girl cared about him, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, tried to remain calm, and patiently answered her: "Xi'er, don't worry, we won't act rashly. The Golden Shadow Guards are the sharp swords of the royal family. Each of them possesses unique skills and follows you like a shadow. They would rather die than betray you. Brother Xiaokang has everything he needs and won't be in any danger. Trust me!"

Jing Chunxi listened to his words, but she wasn't completely resigned. Naturally, she wasn't foolish enough to believe them completely. She pursed her lips slightly and continued to persuade him, "If you can provide enough weapons and food, Brother Xiaokang, could you please recruit the people from the mountains as your own?" Her tone was tentative, and her eyes were fixed on Xu Zize, as if waiting for his response.

The people are innocent and have suffered too much. Their lives should not be threatened because of the conflict between the two sides.

Xu Zize was stunned by her words, a look of astonishment flashing across his eyes. He hadn't expected Jing Chunxi to make such a suggestion, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Seeing his silence, Jing Chunxi continued, "The people who were taken captive are all innocent. Perhaps some of them are willing to follow Jin Yingwei, willing to follow Brother Xiaokang. And Brother Xiaokang needs it, doesn't he?"

Seeing that the person opposite still did not express his opinion, Jing Chunxi continued: "Of course, many people are definitely willing to return home. Brother Xiaokang should let them make their own choice." There was a hint of earnestness in her tone and her eyes were full of sincerity.

This concern and kindness is not just for the people.

Xu Zize felt a wave of mixed emotions. He hadn't expected Jing Chunxi to be so thoughtful. Taking it in for personal use was indeed a good idea. He hadn't expected it to be taught by the little girl.

However, before he could respond, Jing Chunxi continued, "Xier can also provide Brother Xiaokang with drugs and poisons. Not just a few packets, but a lot." The girl's tone was very confident. When she mentioned so many supplies, it seemed like she was just stating something very ordinary.

Xu Zize was stunned by her words and was speechless for a moment. He couldn't help but feel a little amused and confused. He looked at her with a hint of helplessness and doting in his eyes, and said softly, "Xi'er, don't joke."

Jing Chunxi, regardless of his belief, continued, "My grain can not only support the army, but also alleviate the suffering of the people, the suffering of the entire Jian'an County." Her tone was full of conviction and confidence, and Xu Zize couldn't help but feel a jolt. Although he found it a little unbelievable, Jing Chunxi had never lied to him, and this made him feel a little uneasy.

"In return, Brother Xiaokang, please help me collect the tea that the corrupt officials have seized from the people, as well as their gold, silver and treasures." The girl's tone was playful, as if she was bargaining with him.

Her eyes were filled with cunning, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile. Although she could do these things herself, asking Xu Zize for help might make him feel more comfortable and less stressed. This was considered reciprocity.

"I'll have to trouble Brother Xiaokang to compensate the people with grain at market prices, according to the records of the government's forced confiscation of tea." Jing Chunxi continued, but her tone had changed, now sounding a bit earnest. Her eyes were filled with determination as she quietly waited for his response.

Find another businessman like Master Liu Guangfa in Jian'an City to distribute porridge and grain in Jian'an County. Jing Chunxi felt that it would not be easy for him to do it, but it should not be difficult for Xu Zize, so he should kick the ball to him.

The girl was extremely firm when she said this to him, her heart and eyes full of concern for the people. She was so kind, and the kind light emanating from her made him feel as if she was a little fairy who came specifically to help him.

Xu Zize's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He trusted the little girl, but at the same time, he had a lot of questions in his mind. Even if he wanted to ask something, he couldn't open his mouth. Silence fell again.

He looked at her, feeling a sense of emotion. Although this girl was young, she was thoughtful and considerate, even calmer than he was. Her kindness and determination touched him, yet also filled him with worry.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and said softly: "Xi'er, Brother Xiaokang understands your feelings, but this matter is very serious, we need to consider it carefully."
