Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Jin Dalang stayed by Xiaocao'er's side, and after feeding her a bowl of porridge, the little girl finally fell asleep. Only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten for most of the day.

The little mustache guys were talking about the ox cart. "This aristocratic family is really different. They can even build such an exquisite cart."

The round-faced soldier smacked his lips and said, "I don't know what they put in the fish rice, but it doesn't have any fishy smell at all." The rest of the men agreed with him.

The mustache man ate half a pancake with hot soup, looked at Jin Dalang and asked, "Jin Dalang, what are you thinking about?"

I don't know how this kid got so lucky to be favored by the lady of this aristocratic family.

"This kind of chariot is not something that ordinary noble families can use." Jin Mingrui had seen several rough men driving aristocratic chariots before.

He had just carefully examined these mechanisms and found them to be extremely ingenious, with the folding and supporting of each other being just right. They did not look like ordinary mortise and tenon joints.

Ordinary ox carts do not have such a wide frame.

"This car is really full of hidden treasures!" The man with a mustache handed him a bowl of fish soup. "Luckily you left one bowl for me, otherwise it would be gone soon." Jin Dalang bowed his head and thanked him. His fingertips holding the bowl turned white and he felt powerless.

When he first started out, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, from anger and forbearance at first, to depression when he discovered that Xie Xian ignored him, to the inferiority complex now.

No one else noticed it, only Tu Zhen, who had been paying attention to this side from the beginning, took a few more glances. She was playing with the whip in her hand with a puzzled look on her face.

Xie Xian felt the young man's vague gaze, and the book in her hand suddenly lost its appeal. She hooked her finger at Jin Mingrui and went to a corner of the hall amid the laughter of the crowd.

"Who are the people in your family? How did it come to this?" Xie Xian wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly. She had to know herself and the enemy before she could successfully get rid of this trouble.

"My father, the governor of Pingcheng, has not returned for three months. He is a director in Kangjian City. Although he is the legitimate son, he is not loved by the adults. My stepmother follows my younger brother, and my half-brother is targeting my host family. It is very difficult." The young man knelt on the torn straw mat and answered the question seriously.

Xie Xian flipped through the book loudly. She really wanted to ask, "Are you talking like a human being?" Can't we just communicate properly with spoken language? Seeing his expression of "I've tried my best", Xie Xian almost laughed out of anger.

"Where is the Jin family's patriarch? Have you looked for him?"

"My father is the son of the clan, and the clan elders are jealous." Oh, this is still a son of the clan. No wonder he can't control it. Xie Xian is wary of the clan. People in this era stick together for warmth, and the clan is above everything else. But now it doesn't seem so scary.

"Where are your in-laws?" Xie Xian asked again.

"My maternal family is in Jingzhou, which is quite far from here." After saying this, he lowered his head with some guilt. His uncle had come once three months ago and asked him if he would like to go home with him and stay for a while, but his father was still alive and his step-wife, who was in charge of the family, did not agree.

He didn't know what to say, but now it seemed that his uncle had anticipated this disaster.

Xie Xian knew something was up from the look on his face, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just said calmly, "If it doesn't work out tomorrow, I'll send you to Jingzhou."

She stood up and patted her skirt. Jin Mingrui followed her and asked, "Why not?" He didn't understand the ambiguous words of the girl from the Xie family. The changing attitude of the Pingcheng soldiers towards him completely broke the string that the young man had suppressed in his heart.

The voice of the boy in the voice change period was a bit harsh, which attracted everyone's attention. The boy was defeated by Xie Xian's indifferent gaze, "You are so abrupt." Xie Xian paused and said, "Have a good rest tonight." It was still unknown whether he could sleep well after tonight.

It rained outside all night and didn't stop until the second half of the night. They could hear the sound of rushing water in the river below them from the mountain. They wondered what the situation was like at the shoe shop by the water.

The next day, Jin Mingrui sat on horseback and was hesitant to speak. Just as they passed by the river, they saw a group of people looking at the water and sighing. The men with mustaches sighed in their hearts, feeling fortunate that good deeds would indeed be rewarded.

Most of the merchants' goods were washed away, and a group of people looked at the muddy and turbulent water and did not dare to go down to fish them out.

Jin Mingrui could only lower his eyes due to the desperate look.

He had not yet forgotten what Xie Xian had not said yesterday. His thoughts were churning, and he waited until almost noon before he asked hesitantly, "Young lady..."

The thin man and his men also rode forward. Xie Xian turned and looked out the window, "?" Seeing that the young man seemed to be hesitant to speak, it seemed that what she said yesterday was in vain.

"Mingrui is returning home today, and I will never forget your kindness."

Xie Xian felt a little annoyed when she saw this young man who didn't understand her meaning at all. She sighed and said, "Is your half-brother waiting for you to come back?" It was obvious that he probably wished he would die outside.

Jin Mingrui frowned. His stepmother at home was short of food and clothing, but he could just endure it. This time, he almost killed Cao'er, which was something he had never experienced before.

"From what you said, the things he did to you in the past were just small matters, but they were not enough to achieve his goal. Besides, this was in the city after all. If he took direct action, he would have a hard time explaining himself later."

Xie Xian leaned lazily on the bed and continued, "His ultimate goal is not difficult to guess. The fastest way to help his nephew get promoted is to..." She paused here, looked at Jin Dalang's pale face and curled the corners of her mouth.

Seeing the mustache men showing reluctance on their faces, she raised one corner of her mouth and glanced at them and said softly, "It's not surprising that a few people are missing in the wilderness. Look, he even prepared the murderer for you."

This sight made the mustache man feel his hair on his back stand up. "What does it have to do with us?" The round-faced soldier didn't believe it. Several people pulled their horses and looked at each other, their hearts beating.

Xie Xian ignored their reactions and just said calmly.

"It doesn't matter whether you did it or not, as long as you can give Pingcheng Mu an explanation." After saying that, he lowered the curtain.

Now Jin Mingrui didn't know what to say. All he could hear was the slightly panicked sound of horse hooves behind him.

The thin man looked at the mustache man uncertainly, with a puzzled look on his face.

The little mustache was worried these days. He was uneasy. He and that Cuo Erlang didn't get along well, but he was a military leader after all. He just couldn't stand him bullying others by taking advantage of his power. How could this be?

Before he could think about it any more, someone else couldn't help it.

"Impossible, although we are soldiers, we have also made contributions." How can we just die here? The round-faced soldier was so angry that his eyebrows were almost burning, but the veins on his hands holding the reins were exposed.

Xie Xian didn't want to get involved in this mess, but she couldn't just watch them die, so she could only curl her lips and said, "Has he tried to win you over before?" The thin man's face changed and he looked at the man with a mustache.

"I'm the one getting in his way." The man with a small moustache sighed. He just wanted to lend a hand because he couldn't bear to see him suffer.

"This happened too suddenly, and it was just a coincidence at that time." He still didn't believe it.

These people still refused to give up. Xie Xian sighed, "Is it difficult to know the time and place of your patrol? Or is it difficult to know the whereabouts of Jin Dalang?"

Seeing that several people were looking at him, Jin Mingrui said softly with a pale face: "The strong servant beside him grabbed the grass and ran away, and I followed him to the bridge." Several people knew in their hearts that it seemed that he didn't run away. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"What should I do with my mother? Woohoo~" The round-faced soldier howled so loudly that Xie Xian almost dropped the book in her hand. A grown man couldn't stop crying.

The remaining few people had pale faces. They could actually run away, but they knew that they all had families, and if they ran away, they would probably be charged with a capital crime.

A few people were unwilling to accept this and secretly cursed Erlang for being a scoundrel.

"Shut up." Xie Xian was annoyed by the noise. How could she be fine?

"Well~ I'm about to die and you won't let people cry. I haven't even married a wife yet!" The round-faced soldier almost made everyone lose their concentration.

Xie Xian was helpless: "I didn't say he would die."

"Please save us, young lady," Jin Mingrui's face was full of guilt, "They are all dragged down by me." As he spoke, tears were about to fall from his face.

"Stop~" Can you stop crying? Xie Xian was most afraid of someone crying in front of her. In her previous life, she was most afraid of the crying monsters. She used all her strength to climb from elementary school to junior high school, just to avoid those mythical beasts.

As a result, this era is simply incompatible with her. Almost everyone likes to cry no matter whether they are sad or happy. They are not angry but do not take, and they are not happy but do not talk. Please let it go!

Xie Xian covered her face and said helplessly: "While it is still early, let's go through the city and ask someone we know to tell them that your uncle is here to take you back to Jingzhou."

Xie Xian looked at them and said, "Choose the road with the most people. Then you guys should also take a message home. The city lord wants you to escort the young master to Jingzhou. Do you understand?"

Several people thought about this carefully, which meant that they didn't have to meet Cuo Erlang! But isn't this cheating?

The mustache boy's eyes lit up: "In this case, our family doesn't have to worry. If Erlang were to do something wrong, it would be hard to say."

"What shall I say when my father comes back?" Jin Dalang had been taught to behave like a gentleman since he was a child, as if he had never lied to anyone, and he felt a little uneasy.

Xie Xian looked at him expressionlessly, "He won't deny it." No matter what, a father would never deny that he is protecting his child in front of outsiders.

Seeing the thoughtful expressions of the few people, Xie Xian continued to read. They were lucky today. When they passed Pingcheng Middle Street, they saw that Erlang was hiding in some alley.

The other ordinary soldiers did not stop the nobleman's carriage. The few who knew the mustache just greeted him and said, "Master Cui, you guys just came back?"

"We just happened to meet Jin Dalang's uncle's family, who wanted to take the young master over! We are in a hurry to leave here, please tell my mother that we are in a hurry."

The man with the mustache had a high-spirited look on his face, as if he had been frozen pale, and looked like he was about to go on a long journey.

"Aren't you going back to tell your parents?" The visitor was also a well-known figure in Pingcheng. He didn't expect that he would be asked to do such a thing just to say hello.

"Please just pass on the message. The master is not here." Jin Mingrui said with a smile as he pulled aside the curtain. After he finished speaking, he looked towards the Jin Mansion as if he wanted to go back but didn't dare to.

When that person thought of the bad things that happened in the Jin family, he realized that apart from his father, Jin Dalang had no close relatives, and only a cruel stepmother. Seeing the young man's timid appearance, he softened his heart.

It's just a message, it has nothing to do with me.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, just tell your mother."

"Thank you very much. I appreciate it." Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, Jin Dalang waved his hand and urged the ox cart to move faster.
