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

In less than half an hour, the case was settled. Liu took the new household registration in her arms and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the absent-minded Xie Xian and bowed properly, saying, "Madam Xian, Liu Ying has no way to repay this great favor."

"Then pledge yourself to me." Xie Xian said with a smile.

Liu Ying's face turned slightly red. She pulled out the "Lu Family Secret Records" from her arms and presented it with both hands. "This secret technique should be used to thank the lady for her kindness." After saying this, she felt a little guilty.

"Liu Ying is incompetent. Although the secret technique has been recovered, the Pei family should have more copies." Maybe there are more than one copy.

Xie Xian waved her hand indifferently, "Don't blame yourself. This secret record came into my hands to show others. It depends not only on you and me to carry it forward."

Salted Fish sighed, if everyone cherishes what they have, how much wisdom will be lost in the long river of time.

Anyway, I plan to use this secret technique as a textbook in primary schools. If it doesn't work out, I can print a few hundred copies. Since it's so popular now, someone should be willing to buy it!

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps in the front hall.

The man who came was a plump middle-aged man in a long gown, a phoenix hat, and a meticulously groomed beard. He looked at Xie Xian with a kind expression.

Seeing Xie Xian coming forward, he bowed and said, "Xie Ze from the branch family greets the lady."

Xie Xian quickly stood up and moved away, she really couldn't bear it.

"Uncle Ze, you are embarrassing me." Xie Xian returned the greeting. She had just asked someone to do something for her, so she couldn't straighten her back.

Liu also greeted him politely and thanked the county magistrate.

Xie Ze walked up to Xie Xian, his eyes burning as he said, "My lady, this Pei family has been taught a lesson." He wanted to test her, as it was rumored that Madam Xian had a bad temper and the Pei family had made her unhappy.

But for this theft, the heinous sentence would only be a few more strokes of the cane, but taking someone's life would be a bit too much.

Xie Xian understood the meaning of the words and looked calmly, "Uncle Ze, you are worrying too much. I, Xie Xian, always act according to the law and never go beyond the rules.

"The Pei family has violated the law, and there are laws to judge them. Although I am a woman, I also know that the law cannot be violated."

After saying that, Xie Xian turned to look at Liu Ying and said softly, "Sister Liu, what do you think about this?"

Liu Ying raised her eyes, with a look of relief in her eyes, and said softly: "My lady, I only want to leave the Pei family. I don't want to talk about the past anymore. I just want to find a quiet place and live in peace."

Xie Xian nodded, with a plan in mind: "There will be justice for the Pei family, you just need to consider your future path. If you are willing, the Xie family can provide you with shelter."

The corners of Liu Ying's mouth twitched slightly. This was what Madam Xian had just said about promising herself to him.

After hearing this, Xie Ze felt relieved and admired Xie Xian's actions. He bowed and said, "My lady is so righteous. We will naturally handle the Pei family's affairs according to the law. We will never tolerate it and will not embarrass you."

Xie Xian chuckled: "I have no regrets, but since Sister Liu's daughter has left the Pei family, I would like to ask Uncle Ze to help me get a letter of severance." She thought of the incident with the bowl of Jiaojiao.

He sneered in his heart, thinking that people of the same family are alike. If old lady Pei knew that Wan Jiaojiao was actually empty-handed, she would definitely come to harass Yu'er.

It’s better to break it off early.

Liu Ying was moved when she heard this. She didn't expect that Xie Xian had even thought of a way out for her. Since then, Yu'er changed her name to Liu Yu, and her Liu family had a successor.

========

Blackstone Guard.

Inside the main room, flames blazed in the fire pit, illuminating Xie Changhuan's pale and haggard face. He coughed continuously, as if every breath exhausted all his strength. Even the high temperature in the room could not dispel the chill around him.

The leaders of the teams stood aside, looking worried, and were all at a loss. Xie Changhuan had been getting weaker and weaker these days, and couldn't stand the slightest bit of cold wind. Everyone was very worried, and good charcoal was not easy to buy, so the disease could not be delayed any longer.

Si Ji frowned, and finally said, "My Lord, you are in such bad health, why don't you go to Taozhuang to recuperate? I heard there is something called a warm bed there, which should help your condition. Now that the Lady has agreed to take over the Black Stone Guard, you can rest assured."

Xie Changhuan waved his hand, with a hint of helplessness in his cough: "My heart is willing but my strength is not enough. The Black Stone Guard still has many unfinished business. How can I feel at ease?"

Originally, the clan had reported in the past few days that the female monarch was coming, but he didn't know what was holding her back. How could he feel at ease since he hadn't met Xie Xian in person?

While they were discussing, an armored soldier came hurriedly to report: "My Lord, the second and third guards of the Guannei Road have been withdrawn, but they suffered heavy losses on the way. Most of the inner guards were seriously injured and it may be difficult for them to return on foot."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became even more heavy. This winter, the guards were short of money and food, and the women and children in the village were all supported by the female monarch. They should have contributed to supporting the master's family, but now they were supported by the female monarch, so they felt guilty.

Xie Xian was generous, so they didn't want to find out why Xie Xian never came to Blackrock Guard.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Niu Er suddenly spoke up: "I heard that the lady recently borrowed a few large ships from the Cui family. If we send a ship to pick up the second and third guards, will it work?"

He had heard it from his own wife. Whenever the family was short of money, she would bring up the female monarch to highlight his incompetence. This made Niu Er feel a mixture of love and hate every time he mentioned Xie Xian.

Hearing this, Si Ji's eyes lit up: "This plan is feasible. Go and report to the lady and ask for her help. The Black Stone Health will live and die together, we can't abandon them."

These brothers have all suffered a lot during this long journey, and their morale is already low. If the guards don't go to help, who knows how many people will be killed. The Black Stone Guards lose people every year, and they can't afford to lose any more brothers.

Niu Er just raised his leg and put it down again, his eyes rolling around, just looking at Xie Changhuan without saying anything. He suddenly remembered that the master didn't like to trouble the lady the most.

Xie Changhuan coughed twice in a low voice and said slowly: "What use do you have for these big ships? It would be bad if we rashly use them for other purposes and disturb your business." Although this method is good, it is just wishful thinking on their part.

Si Ji glared at Niu Er. This fool didn't finish his words and kept setting traps for me. He hadn't finished his work with the refugees these days, but there was no contact from Xie Xian.

"Well, it is said that these large boats were borrowed by the lady for fishing."

Everyone:?

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Niu Er said helplessly: "Don't look at me. I only heard that they were here to fish, saying that they were going to nourish the children in the kindergarten. I don't know why Madam Xian had to use a big boat to fish."

Seeing that no one was talking, he continued, "I think we should go and ask them right away. Maybe it's the female king who thinks fishing on a big boat is more impressive, but bringing our brothers back first is the most important thing."

Xie Changhuan took a deep breath. He had a feeling that it would not be so easy to fish on Xie Xian's big boat, but no matter what, he had to ask Xie Xian about this matter.
