"You...?" Zhao Xuanyi pointed at the woman in front of him, with his mouth wide open. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He saw this girl wearing a gray gown. Due to environmental problems, there were a lot of dirt on the clothes, and a pair of cloth shoes were covered with dirt. It is sandy soil, but a fair face is not contaminated by any soil, and it is still so beautiful.
The girl sitting opposite is none other than Nan Zhu, one of Zhu Yuejun's personal maids, and the person Zhu Yuejun asked him to find!
Nanzhu was also very happy after seeing Zhao Xuanyi. He rarely smiled at Zhao Xuanyi, walked over quickly and stood in front of Zhao Xuanyi.
"Mr. Zhao, you're fine!" Nan Zhu said with a smile.
"You are actually here?" Zhao Xuanyi was so surprised that he said it for a long time. Nanzhu was still so beautiful, but he was much thinner than what he had seen before. However, Zhao Xuanyi was also very happy and hugged Nanzhu. in arms
"Oh my god, I can't believe it!" Nan Zhu was stunned. She didn't expect that a man would be so rude and hug her. Her face turned red and she hurriedly pushed Zhao Xuanyi away and coughed lightly.
"Master Zhao, I hope you respect yourself!" Zhao Xuanyi also found that he seemed to be too excited. Girls in ancient times did not like hugging.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm so happy. Why are you here?" Zhao Xuanyi asked hurriedly.
Nanzhu looked at the door curtain and coughed lightly.
"Xiao Bai, go and inform the people outside and tell them not to worry. I'll have a chat with this young master!"
"Yes!" Xiaobai agreed.
"That...you call a guy named Shen Wei from my team and say that I have something to say!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Okay!" He was about to leave after saying that. Not long after, Shen Wei walked into the cave and asked through the curtain
"Young Master, is there something wrong with you?"
"Go and tell the people in our team to go back and sleep peacefully. I'm fine here!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes!" Although Shen Wei didn't know what was going on inside, he could tell from Zhao Xuanyi's voice that he seemed very happy!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Nanzhu
"How did you get here?" Nanzhu sighed
"I was ordered to track down the Celestial Immortal Sect. Suddenly, a guard said that he had discovered the Celestial Immortal Sect's whereabouts. I followed all the way, and was discovered. After that, I was stunned by them. When I woke up, I came here. I I don’t even know where this place is!” Zhao Xuanyi asked hurriedly after hearing this
"Were you stunned? Have they ever treated you...? Well, you know!" Nan Zhu's expression became very cold.
"Do you think others are just like you, born to be prodigals?" Zhao Xuanyi chuckled.
"Aren't you wronging me? I care about you too? Are you really not ruined?" Nan Zhu raised his hand to hit Zhao Xuanyi, but Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly surrendered with both hands.
"I was wrong, you must not have been ruined!" Nan Zhu then put down his hand.
"How did you get here?"
"Isn't it because of you?" Zhao Xuanyi said angrily.
"because I?"
"The eldest princess knew that I must find you, so I took Shen Wei and Tang Tianli, a total of three people, to Shandong, deliberately going to Sihai Gambling House to cause trouble, and then they were successfully brought here. I just came yesterday, Unexpectedly, it took no effort to find anything even after trying hard to find it! You are actually here!" Zhao Xuanyi said with excitement on his face.
"Are you here to find me?" Nan Zhu asked in surprise.
"That's right! It's okay now. My mission to find you has been completed. Just prepare yourself. I'll ask Shen Wei to think of a way for the four of us to escape in the next few days! I don't want to stay in this miserable place for another day! "Zhao Xuanyi thinks about what he has experienced in the past two days, and it is so painful!
When Nan Zhu heard Zhao Xuanyi's words, he instantly became indifferent and shook his head towards Zhao Xuanyi.
"No, I can't leave!" Zhao Xuanyi opened the hippo's mouth in surprise
"What did you say? You can't leave? You haven't lived in this miserable place long enough?" Nan Zhu hurriedly grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's arm
"Master Zhao, please calm down. Listen to me. It's easy for us to leave, but what about the thousands of people here? They will die here and be exhausted to death!"
"Isn't this difficult to handle? When I go back, I will mobilize the Qilin Guards and flatten this place directly. The gold mine is here. They won't want to abandon the gold mine, right?"
"It's not that simple. According to my investigation, this is the gold mine of the Tianxian Sect and their main source of income. Think about it, for such a large sect, it is impossible for them to grow in such a short time just relying on the supply of their followers. It has grown internally to its current size!”
"If we want to find a way out of here and get in touch with the people of the Tianxian Sect, it's best to catch their so-called leader and defeat them in one fell swoop, so that this cult can be eradicated!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded with a serious face.
"I understand your thoughts very well, but eldest sister, can you please open your eyes and take a good look? Now let's not talk about arresting their superiors. We don't even know if they can survive here until tomorrow. Look at me There are three whip marks on this back, and Tang Tianli was even worse, he was almost beaten to death!"
"Are you scared?" Nan Zhu asked with disgust on his face.
"It's not that you're afraid, but that you should go out and save your life first and then make a long-term plan. There are only a few of us and we are weak. Your plan is simply an impossible assumption!" Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that he almost took action. This girl's head was smashed. Fascinated by vegetable dumplings?
Nan Zhu looked at Zhao Xuanyi with a calm face.
"You're just scared!" Zhao Xuan waved his hand righteously
"Yes, I'm just scared. Why the hell do I have to fight here? I went out and mobilized the Qilin Guards to kill them in minutes. Why do I have to suffer here?"
"But even if you take this place, we still don't know where their main altar is. It's meaningless. They will build another golden temple in another place and plunder the lives of the people like animals! We just need to grit our teeth and as long as If you push through and touch their headquarters, everything can be solved, right?" Nanzhu shouted loudly.
"How can you confirm that we are still alive before touching their main altar?"
"At least we have to try our best, right? They trample on the lives of the people so much. How is this any different from those Jurchens and Japanese pirates? It is even worse than them. You have also seen that people are starving to death every moment in the Golden Palace outside. , is starving to death!"
"Enough people have died here. We can change it. At least we can't let other people come in and die here, right? If the Celestial Immortal Sect is not eliminated, we don't know how many people will die in their hands!" Zhao Xuan shouted righteously
"Why me? I have a wife, a woman, and tens of thousands of subordinates. It's so unjust for me to die here. I can eat and drink every day, so why should I eat those disgusting things here?"
"For everyone!" Nanzhu shouted. These four words left Zhao Xuanyi speechless. There was no words for a moment, and Nan Zhu took a deep breath.
"I know that General Zhao has great power in his heart, and there is no shortage of gold and silver, but we can't forget the poor people just because we are well fed and well clothed, right? If the people are so desperate that they abandon the Ming Dynasty, we will work harder It doesn’t make sense anymore, does it?”
"After you wiped out the Japanese pirates, the emperor personally said that you don't want anything. You would rather turn all the rewards into food and send them to the people of Jinghai City and Lanyu City. Nanzhu thinks that you have the people in your heart, but the people here are... Starving to death and being insulted and tortured, General Zhao is really not angry at all?" Nanzhu said these two words in Zhao Xuanyi's heart. Zhao Xuanyi slowly sat on the bed, took a long breath, slowly raised his head and looked at Nanzhu, slightly smile
"I'm not as good as you! I didn't expect you, a woman, to have the world in your heart!" Nan Zhu smiled bitterly.
"It's just because we want to clear our consciences. We four maids were sold into the palace by our family since we were children. Fortunately, the eldest princess favored us, so we have our current status. What is the difference between us and these common people? We are all from the Ming Dynasty. The people of "I just can't stand the practices of the Celestial Immortal Sect!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded and took out the last wotou from his arms.
"Eat something, you've lost weight!" Nan Zhu couldn't believe it when he saw the steamed bun in Zhao Xuanyi's hand.
"How come you have this?" Zhao Xuanyi smiled
"I exchanged a thousand taels of silver for a few yesterday, and this is the only one left. You can eat it!" Nan Zhu looked at Zhao Xuanyi, then blushed and stretched out his little hand, took the steamed bun over, and ate it in small bites. .
Zhao Xuanyi sighed
"Now that you have an idea, let's make a plan. How long have you been here? Do you have any clues?"
"I've been here for more than ten days, but I don't have many specific clues. Now everyone in the three teams listens to me, because more than 70% of the teams are women, and because I can fight, they all listen to me! I also want to protect them from harm!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled
"They are all women. It is indeed very dangerous. In this place where there is no king's law, there is nothing you can do even if you are ruined!" Nanzhu smiled, with a teasing look in his eyes.
"General Zhao thinks about this every day. You think everyone else is just like you. When you open your eyes every day, you are a woman. People here don't eat enough to maintain their physical strength. Then there are still people who have the physical strength to do those disgusting things!" Zhao Xuanyi was right when he thought about it. He didn't even have enough to eat. Who would be in such a mood!
What's more, I didn't see any beautiful girls here, at least none that made my heart flutter!
"Then what are your plans?" Zhao Xuanyi asked. Nanzhu looked at Zhao Xuanyi and smiled slightly.
"Actually, I originally had a small plan, but now that you are here, I don't have to worry anymore. Your intelligence is one of the best in the Ming Dynasty. I will listen to you!"
"Don't come here. It's your decision to stay. You make your own plans. I just want to eat every day and starve to death!" Zhao Xuanyi immediately shook off the responsibility!
"General Zhao, are you okay with this? We are just grasshoppers on a rope now. If we can't run away, you can't run away from me! You can show off your talents now and let's work together!" Zhao Xuanyi pointed at Nanzhu's nose.
"I discovered that you are Zhao Kuo. You are said to be invincible in the world, but you are not successful in your work! What you are best at is dragging people into trouble!" Nan Zhu smiled slightly.
"Thank you, General Zhao, for the compliment!"
"I didn't praise you!"
"So what's your plan?" Zhao Xuanyi sighed
"Tell me your plan first!" Nan Zhu sat next to Zhao Xuanyi
"Actually, my plan is very simple. The people here are all common people. They just want to survive. But I want to go out and talk to the people above. I must have the right to speak. I want to slowly rely on force. Make them surrender!"
"But today I heard that a man of genius came from Team 7, who actually put in a workload that no ordinary person could do. I thought about cooperating with him, but I didn't expect it to be you, Mr. Zhao!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded.
"Your starting point is similar to mine, but I don't want to use force, but to solve the problem fundamentally. The most important thing for the people here now is to eat! Then I will give them food and let them follow me willingly! "
"I'm curious, how did you do it?"
"Secret! But I don't think about it as much as you. There are now twelve teams in the Golden Palace. If we can have more than half of the say, we will have the right to negotiate with that group of people. Now that the two of us cooperate, this It will be much easier!" Nan Zhu nodded.
"What are you going to do?"
"Let me tell you first, how to use the people you have to improve work efficiency. As long as our two teams produce more than usual production every day, we can attract other teams to come, maybe for help, maybe to find trouble, but no matter it is Well, we don’t have to be afraid! Now we have two teams in our hands!”
"I listen to you. I believe General Zhao will be able to break the deadlock here and complete the plan smoothly!" Zhao Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.
"Do you all listen to me?"
"certainly!"
"Take off your clothes!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
