Qin Muyao looked at the tea in the cup and was silent, she didn't know what kind of mentality she should use to face this uncle at this time, and she didn't know if her grandfather and the two cousins of the Jiang family knew about her uncle...

"Just ask whatever you want, and I'll answer you. ”

Qin Muyao stared at Jiang Cang's eyes and asked, "What is your relationship with the people of the Western Regions?"

Jiang Cang was not surprised at all that Qin Muyao knew about this, and said with a calm smile: "I knew that with Yaoyao's ability, I would soon find out what this was coming from, but I didn't expect it to be so fast... I have a connection with a mysterious person in the Western Regions, and that's because he says he's willing to give me what I need, and all I'm going to do is extend the time for the southern rectification. ”

"Uncle, what else do you lack?"

Jiang Cang is the descendant of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family also fell in his generation, Qin Muyao knew that he would be a little unwilling in his heart, but no matter how unwilling he was after so many years, he should have figured it out, what could the people of the Western Regions give him.

What a happy family was once because these people have become what they are now, and these people still feel that Jiang Cang does not give them enough and wants a better life, so he has to go to the capital to ask for orders to lead the army to rectify the south and give them a better life... When Qin Muyao and Cheng Lianjin really arrived in the south, and the people looked at them with expectant and adoring eyes, Jiang Cang realized that his efforts over the years had been in vain, and his sacrifices had been in vain.

The people in the south are like a group of greedy devils who wantonly demand and deprive him, and finally know that he has little left and nothing to give them anymore, so he immediately turned to the other side to join Cheng Lianjin and them, plus Cheng Lianjin and Qin Muyao are really much better than themselves, the more Jiang Cang thinks about it, the more angry he feels in his heart, and directly spurts out a mouthful of blood.

Qin Muyao looked at Jiang Cang in horror, and hurriedly took out a silver needle to pierce several of his acupuncture points and said, "Don't think about anything in your head, relax." ”

Jiang Cang gasped and said with a smile: "Listen to me, kid, after I reached a consensus with the people of the Western Regions, he gave me a lot of food and made a lot of transformation plans, I just hope that the time for me to implement the plan can be slower, what I didn't expect is that you guys actually came... Actually, he doesn't do any harm to the south, but he seems to have a powerful organization in the Western Regions, Yaoyao, you'd better not provoke them, you know?"

In order to calm Jiang Cang, Qin Muyao nodded.

Jiang Cang sighed and continued: "Actually, how different is it for me to be an uncle, you can really transform the south and let the people live a happy life... But why can't I control my own hands and let that fire, the better you do, the more angry I feel... Am I damned!"

Qin Muyao patted Jiang Cang's shoulder and said, "I've wronged you all these years, uncle, just leave the matter to me in the future." ”

Qin Muyao didn't comfort him or accuse him, but he also directly pushed him out of the matter of rectifying the south, this fire burned not only the grain, but also the last line of defense between Qin Muyao and Jiang Cang, from now on, Qin Muyao will be on guard against Jiang Cang in whatever he does.

This is also Jiang Cang's own fault.

"What is the waist card in my uncle's hand used for?"

Jiang Cang was shocked and took out the waist card and put it on the table, this waist card was exactly the same as Qin Muyao's, Jiang Cang was silent for a while and said: "Only by holding this waist card can you find that mysterious person, and you can show this waist card in the inn on the border of the Western Regions." ”

Qin Muyao actually felt very uncomfortable when she left the room, she had been asking people to investigate her uncle for a while, but she had never thought about what made him like this.

Zuo Zongwei has already divided two armies, and there are as many as 1,000 people who go out to collect grain for transportation, this is what Qin Muyao means, because there is not much time to be able to collect grain for them, and it also takes time to transport them back and forth, at this time, only more people can do it, plus there is not much food left, so we can only send more people out to ensure that those who stay here have food to eat.

"Princess, you look at it the same. ”

After this fire, the morale of the soldiers has been greatly reduced, fortunately, this is not on the battlefield, if it is not on the battlefield, it will be lost, Qin Muyao stood in front and cleared his throat and said: "Your team will follow Jiang Cang to the north to collect grain, what you need to do is to follow Jiang Cang's arrangement when the time comes." ”

One of the soldiers stood up and retorted: "Why did you send him to lead the team for such a big matter as the grain collection, princess, don't you know how he made it difficult for us to build the dam yesterday, and the princess, who has no brains at all, can you also rest assured that you sent him out to collect grain?"

Qin Muyao glared at the man, and Zuo Zongwei immediately went up and pushed the soldier to the ground and scolded: "Don't you know when to say something, Jiang Cang is not suitable, is it possible that you are suitable?"

"Whether it is from experience or familiarity with the south, Jiang Cang is the best candidate, why do you think the dam is so easy to rebuild now?" Qin Muyao glanced at the ignorant everyone and said: "That's because our Jiang family moved the sand and gravel area with the expectations of the entire Dajiang people, you think that you have suffered a lot when you come to the south to rectify it, so have you ever thought about the Jiang family who has been in the south for seven years!?"

Under the influence of Jiang Cang, Qin Muyao also felt that this group of people was ignorant, they had always only looked at things from their own point of view, and they didn't treat others as the same thing, no matter how hard they tried, no matter how much they paid for them, they couldn't get into their eyes.

Some of the soldiers were still shaken, and Qin Muyao continued: "This matter is settled!"

"I'm against it, I'm not willing to follow that kind of person to levy grain, his so-called levy is different from ours. ”

It was the person who refuted just now, who was pressed to the ground by Zuo Zongwei and was still so dishonest.

After noon dinner, Jiang Cang left the camp with the thousand people and went to the north to collect grain, and when Jiang Cang left, Qin Muyao gave him a large sum of silver taels, hoping that this silver tael could help them collect grain when necessary.

After that, Qin Muyao took Zuo Zongwei to find Xu Zhi's father and son, and Xu Zhi also heard that the warehouse was on fire and asked with concern: "Is the loss of the princess's granary serious, I know that there is a place where you can pick some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger, and this is how we survived before." ”

Zuo Zongwei pursed his lips and said: "The losses are there, but they are not so serious, and they don't have to rely on wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and they have already sent the army out to collect grain, and it will be fine soon." ”

Xu Zhi nodded, they are different from themselves, they are ordinary people, and they are people from the northern army, yes, how can the emperor of the capital bear to watch the army people suffer and starve here, he is really self-inflicted.

Qin Muyao glared at Zuo Zongwei and said, "Don't bring a few soldiers over to prepare to pick wild fruits, don't you know that people are prone to a lot of diseases after being exposed to the sun, and wild fruits can also cure diseases." ”

"Okay..."Zuo Zongwei immediately understood what Qin Muyao meant, and knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly exited the room.

Xu Zhi looked at Qin Muyao and smiled: "Actually, the princess doesn't need to care so much about my feelings as an ordinary person. ”

Qin Muyao smiled lightly: "What Concubine Ben said just now is from the heart, eating more fruits is indeed good for them. ”

Old man Xu sighed and stood up and said, "The princess wants us to teach everyone to build a stone house, but are there enough people now?"

"Now that the matter of digging tributaries is put aside, there are still enough manpower, if it is convenient for Mr. Xu, can he teach these juniors?"

Facing Qin Muyao, who was kind to him and so polite, how could Old Man Xu refuse, he smiled and said, "Princess, your mouth is as sweet as your heart, good people will be rewarded." ”

After saying that, Old Man Xu walked out of the room, and Qin Muyao ordered a few soldiers and Xu Zhi to go and pick wild fruits together, and when they came back, the remaining thousands of people all moved to the vicinity of a small stone mountain.

Old man Xu pointed to the stones on the mountain and said, "Knock down all the stones, and remember not to shatter them." ”

Everyone looked at this old man and Qin Muyao in wonder, not knowing what they were planning, how could they knock the stone down without breaking it.

After saying that, he regretted it, because he felt the murderous eyes projected from Qin Muyao, Qin Muyao sighed and didn't speak, he had already known that he would leave the Xiao Sword by his side, and this Zuo Zongwei would only make trouble for himself.

Old man Xu was very angry by Zuo Zongwei's call, and scolded: "Why are you so rude at a young age, no matter how you say that I am also an elder!"

Zuo Zongwei glanced at Old Man Xu and said, "Didn't you just knock a stone down, is it necessary to establish yourself as great and capable, I can too." ”

"That's not going to follow my method. ”

Qin Muyao reluctantly walked down from the stone mountain, and Old Man Xu also walked down, Qin Muyao knew Zuo Zongwei's martial arts, and this Old Man Xu still looked lively, wanting to see how Zuo Zongwei boasted about how to make a fool of himself in Haikou.

Zuo Zongwei pulled out the long sword at his waist and jumped up, and after a few strokes on the stone mountain, the entire stone mountain cracked like this... The stone mountain is divided into a lot of fast small stones.

Old man Xu looked at everything in front of him in surprise, he didn't know that Zuo Zongwei knew martial arts, if he knew, he wouldn't say that.

Qin Muyao smiled at Old Man Xu and said, "Mr. Zuo is a little ugly when he speaks, don't mind Mr. Xu, in fact, he is still quite good, and his martial arts are also strong." ”

Zuo Zongwei coughed lightly twice and said, "I don't dare to be praised by the princess like this, let's go back to the camp." ”

The three of them returned to the camp to rest and wait for the soldiers to collect stones and come back, there were a lot of stones of different shapes in front of the barracks, and after looking at the edge of the stones, there were only a few cracks, and the old man Xu nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Zhi on the other side also returned with a full load, I really have to admire Xu Zhi's ability, he actually brought everyone back with so many wild fruits, Xu Zhi grinned and said: "There are still many fruits in the woods over there that have not been picked, too many can't get them back and leave them on the tree first." ”

Zuo Zongwei was a little embarrassed, he hadn't eaten fruit for a long time, in fact, he wanted to eat it very much, but he remembered what he said to Xu Zhi before and was embarrassed to ask for it.

"Does the princess want to taste one first?" Xu Zhi picked out one of the largest wild fruits, wiped it with coarse cloth clothes, and handed it to Qin Muyao, it was already very clean for people like them to wipe it.
