Chapter 178 Who is the real Wang Jiu?

Su Jinxiu originally wanted to avoid Xiao Jingze, but the wind blew under her feet and she walked very fast.

After leaving the city, I don’t know how long I walked.

When she came to her senses, she found that she was in an unknown place.

There happened to be an old man busy on the roadside, and she asked about it.

I learned that this place is called Guancun.

Su Jinxiu caught a glimpse of the sun shining high in the sky, and later realized that her legs and feet were a little sore.

I estimate that it took at least two hours of walking.

If she walked back again, she might die.

“Old man, are there any bullock cart hire companies in the village?

Excuse me, please take me back to Decheng."

The old man just finished his work and got up from the field.

"I have it at home."

While I was talking, a mother-in-law walked to the edge of the field and called out.

"Old man, it's time to go home for dinner."

The old man glanced at Su Jinxiu and greeted her.

"If you're not in a hurry, girl, wait until I get back to have a meal.

Looking at you, you probably haven't eaten either. If you don't mind, eat some together.

After eating, I will take you back to Decheng."

Su Jinxiu was indeed hungry, so she was taken home by the old man and the old woman.

There were only two of them at home, and there were simple meals on the table.

But when you eat it, it tastes particularly delicious.

Su Jinxiu looked around curiously while eating.

"Why is the village so quiet? Everyone has gone out to work?"

There weren't even a few acres of fertile farmland in the village. It was all mountains and forests, and it didn't look like there was any farm work to be done.

The old man’s name is Guan Liang, and he is the village chief of Guancun.

Hearing Su Jinxiu ask this, he sighed.

"A few years ago, wild beasts began to appear in the forest, killing many villagers.

Originally, there was not much land in the village, so it was difficult to make ends meet.

Coupled with the infringement of wild animals, everyone moved away.

Now there are only a dozen families in the village, all of whom are widowed, elderly and disabled who cannot run away.

When we die, the village will be abandoned.

Girl, please be careful from now on and don’t run here again.”

When Su Jinxiu heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved.

"Then, are there any fields left in the village?

Can you rent some to me?"

Guan Liang looked at Su Jinxiu and frowned.

“The fields are all abandoned, the land is not fertile, and we can’t make much money.

Little girl, it’s better not to waste your efforts.”

Su Jinxiu smiled, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said seriously.

"I don't farm, I grow flowers.

The requirements for land are not that high, but I just want it to be convenient because there are few people here.

If possible, could you please help me, Mr. Guan?"

With that said, Su Jinxiu took out dozens of taels of silver as a deposit.

Guan Liang saw that she was serious and immediately paid attention to her.

Call the villagers and discuss it.

People in the village don't talk much about Liang Zuobao.

Agree to rent the fields to Su Jinxiu and help Su Jinxiu take care of the flowers and plants.

Of course, Su Jinxiu will also pay them monthly wages.

After the land deed was signed, Guan Liang took Su Jinxiu to see the land she had rented.

"From here to there, a large area of ​​hills can be used by Miss Su.

You can't go any further.

There is a ghost forest there, and there are always sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling at night.

No one in the village dares to approach it, it’s so scary.”

Su Jinxiu has no interest in these theories about ghosts and gods, and has no intention of taking risks.

She struck while the iron was hot and went to the flower farmer with Old Man Guan.

I bought a lot of flower seeds and distributed them to the villagers.

Inform them of some precautions for planting flowers.

Seeing a spring at the foot of the mountain, she dripped some spiritual spring water into it.

By the time I finished my work, it was already dark.

Guan Liang sent her to Decheng, and she quickly returned to Yueji.

I asked Li Qiang if Xiao Jingze was looking for trouble, but Li Qiang said that he had never met Xiao Jingze.

Su Jinxiu was puzzled for a while. Could it be that she was dazzled by the mistake this morning?

——————

At this moment, Xiao Jingze had already rushed to the military camp outside Ying County.

After entering the camp, his subordinates immediately came forward to report the military situation.

Since Emperor Jing ascended the throne, the remaining remnants of chaos from all sides have been ready to take action.

Several times he tried to cause trouble, but was strangled in the cradle by Xiao Jingze's Black Iron Guards.

Emperor Jing, who was firmly in the palace, was unaware of the dangers involved, but Xiao Jingze never dared to take it lightly.

"Have you found the whereabouts of the fine iron in the remnants' stronghold?"

Xiao Jingze flipped through the folders on the desk and read them one by one.

"No, not even a trace.

I’ve also questioned him, but I haven’t got any clues.”

Xiao Jingze nodded. It seemed that the fine iron was not stolen by them.

As he was watching, he suddenly frowned.

Fingertips, click on a list to take you.

The subordinate was surprised and immediately replied.

"This is a good seedling picked out from the military camp, as usual.

Send him to the border for some training, and if he can return safely.

No matter how hard you train, join the Black Iron Guards."

Xuan Tiewei has never looked at identity, family background, or the past.

As long as your abilities are outstanding enough, you can come back from the border alive.

He is qualified to join the Xuantie Guard. This is the usual practice of the Xuantie Guard. I don’t know why the prince would ask.

"Bring this guy named Wang Jiu here."

Xiao Jingze closed the roster and waited quietly.

After a while, people were brought up.

As soon as you enter the door, you salute respectfully.

"Wang Jiu, a commoner, has met the prince. The prince is a thousand years old."
