Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

I smiled and said, "The mall is like a battlefield, not to mention that this time, we are transporting something that can easily lead to a crime. Well, sir, can you tell me how the black iron was delivered? In this way, if I can push the rest out, I will let you find it first."

Xiang Liu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Three nights ago, a letter was delivered to me saying that the situation had changed and that the goods had to be delivered in batches. I asked them to deliver the goods to my temporary camp and then I sent people to transport them away. The leader was a tall man dressed as a servant. He led people to carry a few boxes of books, put them down and left. The books were nailed shut, made to look like books, and the middle was hollowed out, with pieces of black iron lumps inside."

I hurriedly asked, "Isn't the leader a man with a burly figure, a long face, thick eyebrows and big eyes?"

Xiangliu replied: "That's right."

I thought, that must be Changbao. But last night Tu Shanjing told Changbao about the pile of books. Could it be another batch of special goods? If the remaining black iron was in the bookcase of the carriage, why didn't Xing Laosan notice anything unusual when he was flipping through the books? I remember that when I fell into the water, some books floated up. If there was black iron hidden, they should have sunk immediately...

Xiang Liu saw that I was thinking hard, so he said, "Well, your injuries haven't healed yet, and it's useless to think hard. Why don't you go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow."

I looked out of the cave and saw that it was pitch black. It was already night. I was moved and asked him: "What time is it now? How long have I been unconscious?"

He reached out and dusted the bed, then replied slowly, "You've been unconscious for two days."

I was horrified: "What?! Two days?!" His blow was so cruel that it made me unconscious for two days? !

He nodded. "The military doctor is in another camp. I flew you back to the temporary camp that day and took you to find him after we settled you down. He said that you need to use anesthetics to remove your arrow. I thought you were afraid of the cold and pain, so I asked him to give you a hard blow and make you fall asleep. This way, it won't be troublesome to remove the arrow and apply the medicine. When you wake up, you'll be bandaged and basically healed."

This guy is really considerate. I asked him with a smile: "Aren't you anxious? You just waited for two days? Aren't you afraid that you won't receive the rest of the goods?"

He shook his head: "Tu Shanjing will give me as much as he promised. If it is lost on the way, he will find it to replace it. If it is not lost, he will naturally send it to me. Besides, I saved his personal maid, he will remember this kindness and will not break his promise."

He trusts people he employs and does not employ people he doubts. He trusts Tu Shanjing quite a bit. Wait...!

I touched my back, but couldn't reach the wound. I could only feel the gauze passing through my armpit and being bandaged tightly. The wound didn't hurt much anymore, but felt a little cold.

I asked thoughtfully: "What is that..."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Only the military doctor bandaged you. I didn't help. Don't worry, doctors don't discriminate between men and women, especially in this emergency."

I shook my hands quickly: "No, that's not what I want to ask. I want to ask, how do you know I'm a woman? Is it... the instinct of a beast?"

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Although Tu Shanjing's illusion is mysterious, it is not difficult for me."

I laughed and he continued, "I'm going to continue marching. The army is full of men, so you might as well stay like this, so that your reputation won't be ruined if it gets out."

I nodded and then asked, "Aren't you going to get that batch of goods?"

He took out the piece of paper from his arms, raised his hand, and the paper unfolded and floated lightly onto the bed in front of me.

"look by youself."

I looked down and saw all those twisted and winding words. I couldn't help scratching my head and said, "This... I'm ashamed to say that I can't read! Can you please teach me?"

He laughed and said, "Tu Shanjing's attendants can't read? How funny! It says here that Xuan had sent soldiers and monsters who knew how to swim to dive into the Chishui River several times yesterday and the day before yesterday, and fished out all the boxes in the carriage. Even the objects that floated downstream were picked up. It snowed today, and the river froze, trapping two soldiers to death, so they gave up. He dispatched skilled craftsmen to modify the mechanism, and once it is completed, he will lift the carriage out as well."

I sighed, "Oh, it's too late. He's so quick!"

Xiangliu took out another envelope and said, "Tu Shanjing brought you a letter. Do you want me to read it to you?"

When I heard this, I ran over to take it. It felt thin and there was nothing inside. I opened it and saw that it only had two pages. There was no writing on the first page, only a big "?" sign.

My heart softened, thinking that Tu Shanjing wanted to ask me how I was, but he knew I couldn't read, so he just drew a question mark. I seemed to see him frowning and looking at me with watery eyes, and I couldn't help but smile while holding the paper.

Xiangliu glanced at me, not knowing what I was laughing at. I caught his gaze and asked him, "Do you have any writing materials? I will write a letter to you."

He pointed at the stone platform and asked curiously, "Yes, yes...Aren't you illiterate?"

I walked over and spread out the paper, reached out to take the pen, and replied to him: "Sometimes words are not necessary to convey."

I drew a small smiley face on the paper and wanted to draw a "V" hand sign, but then I thought it was too advanced for Tu Shanjing to understand. I didn't want him to rack his brains to guess what the spell was, so I didn't draw it.

When I turned to the second page, there was still no writing on it, only a drawing of a carriage with a big hole in the back compartment. It was the carriage that sank into the Chishui River that day. The frame of the carriage was also specially outlined with a red pen.

I looked left and right, and suddenly it occurred to me that I understood what he meant.

I asked Xiangliu uncertainly: "Sir, is that black iron...incomparably hard?"

Xiangliu replied, "Yes."

"Then, if we want to forge it into a weapon or artifact, is there any way?"

"If someone with great spiritual power burns it with high temperature, it is possible to forge it successfully. Why are you asking this?"

I murmured, "So here it is..."

Xiangliu looked at me. Although his face remained expressionless, his eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

I looked at him and asked cautiously, "Sir... I remember that you are a sea monster, right? Then... you can go down to the river to fish in the winter without getting frozen, right?"

Xiangliu frowned and replied, "Okay, but I don't want to."

"What if it's black iron? Will you fish it out or not? It will probably rust if it stays in the water for too long."

He came over and bent down, his snow-white hair hanging down.

"how do I say this?"

I unfolded the second page of the letter and showed it to him: "Look, what the young master drew for me, isn't it? The frame of the carriage is made of black iron? Now it can't be fished out, so please go down to the water to fish it out, and then let Master Diao catch it and take it away, isn't that the end of it?"
