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

Xu Zize smiled and said, "Brother Xiaokang, finish dealing with things here, and then go to Qingshan Villa with cousin Chengrui to find Xier." He comforted Jing Chunxi in a relaxed tone, telling her not to worry too much.

But thinking that there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done, he added: "But it will take a few months."

His expression grew slightly more serious, and his tone grew more earnest. A few months might seem like an eternity, but considering the dire situation in Jian'an County, it was already the fastest possible time. After all, the Navy Commander was still imprisoned in the dungeon, and the Navy couldn't afford to be without a commander for even a day.

Jing Chunxi could understand this. After all, many things cannot be achieved overnight, and this was not in her plan in the first place.

Jing Chunxi thought for a moment and ordered, "Xiao Man, this must be kept secret. No one is allowed to tell anyone."

Her tone was very serious. This matter was of great importance. If it was leaked, it might cause unnecessary trouble or even lead to more killings.

Xiao Man stood up straight and nodded firmly: "I know!"

Although he lowered his voice deliberately, his answer was still loud and powerful. He seemed to have turned into an adult in an instant, and no longer had the childishness he had when playing with the little sweet baby.

"Xiao Man, go back and rest first! We still have to stay up all night."

Thinking that everyone still had things to discuss, Jing Chunxi called Xiaoman back first. Staying up all night to celebrate the New Year was just a reasonable excuse.

"it is good!"

Xiao Man responded and turned around and left without hesitation. She left like a gust of wind, her movements light and swift, and she even closed the door behind her without making any sound.

Jing Chunxi turned around and said to Xu Zize, "There must be a big secret hidden in Daqing Mountain." If it wasn't a secret that absolutely could not be revealed, Old Master Tao would never have gone to so much trouble to protect it, not even telling his closest relatives.

Everyone knew this, and Xu Zize nodded. "You can go explore first. I have to inform my father as soon as possible that Daqing Mountain cannot be easily moved."

The excitement of knowing the pattern's secret didn't last long. The young man was unusually cautious at this moment, aware of the seriousness of the situation. While knowing Daqingshan's secrets was important, they couldn't act rashly.

Indeed, according to Jing Chunxi, the mountain range she had purchased stretched for dozens of miles. What secrets lay hidden there was definitely not something one could reveal simply by looking at it.

How should they investigate? How should they investigate? Who should they use? All of this required secrecy. The difficulties involved were minor; the potential trouble and danger were the real issues. These questions required careful consideration, thorough consideration of everything. Furthermore, it wasn't something that could be decided by just a few of them.

Jing Chunxi added, "I bought Qingshuihe Manor after I came back from Lingnan. It was about half a year ago that I asked my master to buy it in the name of a safe person." She tried to describe the matter in as much detail as possible, so she recalled a little bit.

She remembered it clearly; it happened shortly after she returned from Lingnan. She hadn't thought much about it at the time, having simply decided that this place was a good place for recruiting soldiers and for her master to train them, and that she had money on hand.

"But Qingshan Manor was a birthday gift given to Xier by my maternal grandfather and several uncles when I was very young." Her eyes suddenly showed doubt, and she thought as she spoke. At that time, she probably didn't remember anything. She only knew that she had got a manor and a house, and didn't know the significance of this gift. The gift was very important, but she just felt very happy.

Seeing Xu Zize looking at her, but also as if he was considering something, Jing Chunxi said, "Now that I think about it, my grandfather and three uncles bought me such a remote farm so long ago. Was it just to provide a retreat for my mother and my sister and me?" Now that she thought about it, she felt that this matter was a bit strange. Why did her grandfather and uncles buy such a remote farm for her?

"Brother Xiaokang, I always feel that it's not that simple. If it's just to save our lives, wouldn't it be better to buy it in a prefecture far away from the capital? Life will be better and more convenient if it's closer to a county town or a county government."

The girl had thought of everything he could think of. Xu Zize showed a look of surprise, but just called out softly, "Xi'er!" and nothing else.

He didn't expect Jing Chunxi to think so much, and her thoughts also surprised him. He always felt that the girl must have more ideas, but just didn't say them out loud.

"Do you think Grandfather knows something? And… will Old Master Tao and Grandfather… will they…?" Jing Chunxi's voice gradually faded until it was almost inaudible. She didn't dare to continue, but she believed Xu Zize would understand what she meant.

Jing Chunxi dared to think about the following words, but she didn't say them out loud. She was sure Xu Zize would understand what she was talking about. Moreover, what they were thinking about would surely be what Xiao Deyuan, who had been in the officialdom for so many years, had thought of.

Jing Chunxi looked over and saw that Lord Xiao was supporting his chin with no doubt or confusion on his face or in his eyes. He even nodded at the two of them. Even Cheng Rui had an expression of understanding.

"I will send a secret letter to General Jing." After thinking for a long time, Xu Zize suddenly said.

Jing Chunxi and Xiao Deyuan both shook their heads, disagreeing with his statement. This kind of thing, delivered via secret letter, was still risky, and a small piece of paper couldn't explain it clearly. It was better to be cautious.

Xiao Deyuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said slowly: "It is a serious matter and it is best to discuss it face to face. It is best not to be anxious, my prince. The more times like this, the more careful you must be in planning." His tone was very serious, making people feel that his words were unquestionable.

"My uncle and Cheng Rui are in Jian'an County, and there are so many Golden Shadow Guards. Your Highness can rest assured. Go back immediately after arranging everything. You must also let King Yan know about this matter as soon as possible." He believed that King Yan would make the right decision.

Everyone agreed with this statement.

After thinking for a moment, Jing Chunxi continued, "I've already made an agreement with my grandparents and my third uncle. I have to go to Lingnan this year."

After she finished speaking, seeing Xu Zize looking at her without blinking, she continued: "In addition to Yamen Village, I also want to go to Leizhou and Cangwu County, which will waste a lot of time. Therefore, I plan to set off after April." This trip was planned by her a long time ago and could not be changed.

According to Jing Chunxi's memories from his previous life, news of a gold mine in Cangwu County would spread throughout the capital by October of this year. By then, whether the Crown Prince or the Emperor were tempted by greed, they would surely send people here in advance. If we didn't evacuate in time, it would disrupt my uncle's hard drive plan and create trouble for those two.

"It's even more likely to expose my uncle and his Iron Eagle Battalion, with disastrous consequences. If that happens, the Jing family won't just be exiled; they'll definitely face genocide."

As she said this, Jing Chunxi looked towards Xu Zize. She knew he would understand what she meant. Xu Zize was already fully aware of the matter between the Fairy Aunt and the space, and he wouldn't be so foolish as to not know what she was going to do. She believed he would support her decision.

really.

"Then Xier will wait for Brother Xiaokang at Qingshan Villa! Brother will go to Lingnan with you." His voice was full of doting and his determination to support her firmly. More importantly, he wanted to be with her.

"Brother Xiaokang, please don't be too late. Xier has made a plan and we can't waste even a single day." She didn't think they had to go together, as it was not like she didn't have the ability to protect herself.

But in the end, their eyes met, and they nodded in tacit understanding. With someone to look after them and working together, they could definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The other three people didn't say anything else, but just watched their interaction silently, and inexplicably felt that the scene was very harmonious.

Especially Xiao Deyuan, who looked at Jing Chunxi thoughtfully, as if he could see that she was different from ordinary girls.
