Seeing that my face suddenly became heavy, the toast thought that his words had worked, and hurriedly said: "In ten years, we are all old, so what are we going to do in the future? As long as Xichuan and Qingchuan can be immune to this war and get benefits, that's enough."

“…”

I was a little speechless.

Although I knew it was difficult to convince him from the beginning, because the Tusi was not from Xichuan and did not have the same relationship with Zhongyuan. Moreover, he was also a very utilitarian person. No matter how many people died or what the war was like, as long as the war did not burn Qingchuan, as long as the dead person was not his, as long as he could gain benefits from the war, he would not care about anything else.

In this case, it is really difficult to convince him by verbal words.

I sighed and said, "I was really disappointed to let my uncle say these words."

“…”

"I thought my uncle would advance and retreat with Nishikawa."

Then the toast glanced at me and said, "You Xichuan can advance and retreat with us."

It was over here that I had finished speaking. I picked up the teacup and drank it all the way, then put the cup back on the table, and said, "Now, we are all in the hands of our uncle. What are you going to do?"

He said: "We came here just to make the Qingmine. As long as we can find the Qingmine, you will not let your uncle do anything to the people here. After all, I am just seeking money."

"But there is no green mine here."

"I'll find out after asking. I know that some people are not honest and refuse to tell the truth easily, so they arrested them all. Those who can tell the truth will naturally survive."

“…”

His words made me sweat.

After all, he would not let these people go easily.

I was silent for a moment and said, "What about me? What about my uncle? What is the plan to deal with me?"

“Disposition?”

These two words seemed to be something he had never thought about. He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, with a look of loving expression on his face, and said, "Little Qingying, although you have changed, my uncle has not changed. I watched you grow up, and I will definitely not hurt you and make you feel wronged. I heard that you already have a daughter, but now, there is no in-laws' family."

My face darkened.

"What's the meaning?"

"You know, Slang Jiangcuo has always been very nice to you. After so many years, I, a father, see it, and he has never forgotten you."

“…”

"Actually, we also considered your marriage back then, but you were both too young at that time, and your mother was not very enthusiastic about this, so she gave up. But now it seems that if you married Slang Jiangcuo earlier, you would probably not have suffered so much grievances."

“…”

"Although you have married and have children now, we never care about this."

“…”

"If you marry him, we will be a family. Xichuan and Qingchuan should have been connected to the front line for a long time. Only in this way can anyone become the emperor, they will not be able to do anything to us, right?"

I was not angry after hearing his words. I just pondered for a while and asked, "Have you asked your son these words? He really wants to marry me?"

"Hahahaha, you still have to ask him this? I, a father, can't see it?"

I smiled and said, "Sometimes, even those who spend time together may not be able to see through each other's heart."

“…”

He was stunned by my words, but he was unwilling to think too much. He waved his hand and said that he would end the topic here, saying, "Okay, let's talk about this matter later. Now, I want to check the whereabouts of Qingmine."

After saying that, he stood up.

I was still sitting at the table, with my hands even on my knees: "Is it that uncle wants someone to look like me? Or tie it up?"

He looked back at me and immediately said, "I said that I would not let you suffer grievances, so why did my uncle treat you like that? Besides, you, as a little girl, can't make any big fuss."

The next sentence is really important.

I said, "Since that's the case, can I follow me and let my uncle go out and see? After all, there are some people here that I know, so that my uncle doesn't want me to be wronged, and I don't want to see them wronged."

“…”

I let the toast look at me for a while before laughing and said, "It's easy not to let them suffer grievances. As long as you're good, that's fine."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Immediately, two big men came in from outside the house. They were the ones he had just brought into the village openly. They helped me stand up and walked out.

It seems that although he is not afraid of me, a little girl, makes any big waves, he is still very careful with me.

The whole village was so quiet that there was no sound at all, but I saw that the place where Pei Yuanhao and his friends lived had already been deployed with heavy troops, and people from inside and outside completely surrounded the place.

The men Pei Yuanhao brought with him were not enough to fight against these people, so I haven't heard the sound of fighting there yet.

It should just be to watch them.

As for the other villagers—

At this moment, one of his subordinates ran over and said, "Sir, all the villagers have been taken to the entrance of the village."

"Yeah, very good."

He then made the toast nod and said, "Since you want to go see with me, then go together."

I followed them out of the abandoned village outside. As soon as I walked to the entrance of the village I had just met, I saw that the villagers were tied up by them. More than a dozen people tied their hands from behind with a rope, and they could not resist at all. When they saw me, they let the toast come out together, and they all frowned.

Someone immediately said, "It's her, she must have betrayed us!"

"That's right, as soon as she comes, these troubles come!"

"What do you mean by the eldest daughter of the Yan family? The Yan family has already defected to the court, who can still care about us?"

"We just said that taking these people in will not end up with any good consequences. Now, you believe what we say!"

These people were angry and anxious, and kept shouting and scolding. Tiezhen was also tied with his hands and stood at the forefront of the team. Beside him was his granddaughter Tierong, and there were Lao Yao and Empress Yin next to him. They all looked at me with complicated expressions, but they didn't say anything.

The toast heard their screams and scolded, sneered, and said to me, "Look, you don't want them to be wronged, but they may not appreciate your affection?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand, and a strong man standing in front of those people immediately waved the whip in his hand and directly whipped at the row of people in his mouth.

The people screamed with a bang.

I hurriedly said, "Stop!"

He made the toast smile, asked the man to stop, and then said, "Little Qingying, don't worry, you made uncle an unreasonable person, but just help you vent your anger." After that, he turned around and said, "I asked you when I came just now. Now I'll ask again. I heard that you are rich in green mines. Where is it?"

Those who had been whipped just now showed a look of fear.

Someone immediately said: "We don't produce green mines here, and there is no green mine in our Tiejia Village."

That made the toast frown: "I'm so stubborn. I'll see if I can soften your mouth."

After saying that, he nodded at the whip-holders again.

Immediately, a long whip fell on those people. These strong men were all from the grassland. One whip could split wooden stakes, and hitting people was a piece of cake. After a few whips, the row of people were knocked to the ground, constantly struggling and rolling, looking terrible.

I hurriedly said, "I'll let Uncle, they're telling the truth, why did you hit them?"

"The truth?" He stretched out his little finger and clenched his ears: "But some of the words I heard are different from their 'truth'. You, Nishichuan, have long had things cast from Qingmine, and the ore comes from this Taihe Iron Mine. They don't know, who else knows?"

After saying that, he ordered the people: "Continue to hit me until they tell the truth!"

I couldn't stop it, and I couldn't help but look back.

A few black shadows flashed faintly in the quiet abandoned village behind him.

My heartbeats a little.

But the toast is also a very keen person. I just made a small move, and he immediately noticed it and looked back and looked behind him.

The wind blew through the abandoned village, and some empty places magnified the sound of the wind infinitely, and a whimpering sound came.

His eyes also became deeper. Just as he turned around and seemed to be walking into the village, I suddenly said, "I will tell you what the purpose is to ask these villagers? They are just some things. If you want to ask, you should ask the village chief."

He immediately turned around and pointed at the iron-share that had fallen on the ground because he was unstable.

"He is the village chief of Tiejia Village. He has been here for decades. He knows the best of which mountain produces what ore."

When Tierong saw me pointing at her grandfather, she immediately said angrily: "You - the bad guy!"

Tiezhen looked at me and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He probably didn't expect that I would betray him.

Suddenly, the screams around him became even more unpleasant.

I asked my uncle to reach out and pat my shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qingying is still my Xiao Qingying. You are so sensible, and my uncle likes you more and more."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Tiezhen.

However, just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped and turned around and looked around.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the wind was also filled with the coolness of moisture in the mountains, but my cold sweat couldn't help but emerge.
