She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Xiao Zhe's words made everyone flustered with embarrassment, just now they really had the idea of ​​leaving, anyway, King Shang's team is here, and Shanwang's people are also here, if they leave, the officials will always deal with the aftermath.

However, when Xiao Zhe pulled it out and said it, everyone couldn't bear it.

"King Shang is foreign aid, and we ourselves are the main force. No matter what reason you came to support in the first place, once you come, you must fulfill your responsibilities and promises and become an official soldier.

No matter what the reason is, if the general retreats without announcing the retreat, he will be regarded as a deserter. What crime should a deserter be? "

Xiao Zhe was originally asking them how to make a choice, but unexpectedly turned back to the topic of deserters.

It is inevitable that everyone will feel guilty again.

"If everyone doesn't speak, then I will be the bad guy for everyone and make this decision."

Xiao Zhe seemed to be used to this kind of thankless role, and his expression was not abnormal when he said these words.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is thankless. After all, when the crisis is resolved, people will only remember that the mountain king did not rescue people, and even buried or burned them all on the spot.

But what does it matter?
"What if the mine here is really filled?" Someone in the crowd asked dully, "This is the lifeblood of Shanhuzhou. What would we do without the mine?"

After all, every household has to send people to mine, and there is a risk of decapitation due to insufficient iron ore payment.

If the mountain king really sealed the mine, how would they live?
"This mine is going to be closed, how long will it be closed?"

"Three years." Xiao Zhe replied flatly.

"Three years?" Everyone looked at each other again.

They feared the future again, and they would be killed if they failed to hand over the mine. If they couldn't get out of the mine for three years, wouldn't every family have to kill the nine clans.

Some people who can't bear it burst into tears.

"Why are you crying? I can take care of you if I can make this decision. If you die, I will be in front."

Xiao Zhe's words were rough and not rough, and a few understatement made everyone inexplicably at ease.

After a while, everyone seemed to have made some major decision and gritted their teeth: "Shan Wang, we are with you, we will do whatever you say we want to do!"

Xiao Jiuxi looked at Xiao Zhe's command from the side, feeling a little happy inside for some reason.

Although the elder brother was impatient with him, he accepted everything he said, so what he did at this time was what he just mentioned?
Xiao Jiuxi even had a guess that his elder brother had been disheartened these days, but today he suddenly took a bath and changed his clothes and returned to his princely manner. Could he understand these actions as that his elder brother was already here waiting for him?
Otherwise, according to the elder brother's posture, he would not adopt it after he said a few words.

At this point, Xiao Jiuxi was a little bit dumbfounded, inexplicably felt that his brother was a little funny, and felt that he had a new understanding of him.

Xiao Jiuxi was watching the mountain king's harvest here, and cheers came from the active mining area over there.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see that Liu Zheng, the battalion leader, was galloping to this side, and when he saw Xiao Jiuxi from a distance, he waved and said, "The king of wine, the king of wine, the last live mine has been opened!"

This good news made the silent scene boil instantly.

Xiao Zhe took advantage of the situation and said: "Everyone listens to the order. The last active mine has been unsealed. Immediately seal the mine on the spot and evacuate all the staff!"

"Yes!"

In this way, Xiao Jiuxi's people kept pulling people out, Xiao Zhe's people kept closing the mine, everyone divided the work without delaying each other, and finally completed the task at Youshi.

Everyone walked all the way to the post station that Xiao Zhe had decided on.

Xiao Jiuxi still has his own dry food, as well as cattle and sheep, so he doesn't have to worry about rations, but he could go home to accompany his wife and children, but now he has to stay with them in the station for seven days for the safety of his wife and children.

It is estimated that he was in the lowest mood in the audience.

Xiao Jiuxi's room was located in the highest and best view of the inn. At this time, he was looking out of the window, his eyes full of sadness.

"My hometown, my hometown, you are close in front of you but far away in the sky."

Just as Xiao Jiuxi was muttering, Xiao Zhe came in.

He couldn't help but coughed contemptuously: "Isn't it just a few days since I've seen you, man Zhizhi is looking at you from all directions."

Xiao Jiuxi didn't turn his head back, he just twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "It's so righteous, whoever rushes to Tingliang Prefecture doesn't look back."

Xiao Zhe couldn't help but pat the back of his head: "Want to be beaten?"

Xiao Jiuxi glanced at him aggrievedly and said nothing.

Xiao Zhe sat beside him comfortably: "Have a drink?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jinglei came in with a drink, apparently prepared.

Xiao Jiuxi didn't object, and was quite interested: "Brother Sanhuang invites younger brother, how can I refuse."

Just like that, the two had a drink with the moon, and the moon was hanging high while pushing the cups, and a blush appeared on the faces of both of them.

"Brother Sanhuang, you can drink a lot. I rarely see you drinking, so I underestimate you."

Xiao Zhe smiled: "There are too many places where you can't see, this king doesn't bother to show off in front of you young children."

"Tch, say we are little kids, and who is watching me in the dark and guarding against me?"

On the opposite side of Xiao Jiuxi's questioning, Xiao Zhe didn't answer, and drank a few more glasses of wine before speaking slowly.

"Thank you for today's matter."

"..." Xiao Jiuxi glanced at him lightly, a little thoughtfully.

Xiao Zhe didn't care whether Xiao Jiuxi was listening or not, and said indifferently: "Today, for the first time, I feel what the people's hearts feel like. All along, I only have the high position in my heart, but I have never looked down at the people under my feet. subjects.

Although it was just a coincidence to win the support of everyone today, I suddenly found that this feeling was better than ever.Instead of going to the invisible position all the time, it is better to manage my one-third of an acre of land well, and it is enough to be their king with their support.

It seems... I also understand your happiness. "

Listening to his words, Xiao Jiuxi felt a little guilty for some reason. In fact, he didn't have such lofty ambitions. He had always been willing to wander around Taihe Prefecture in order to avoid the throne.

It was after Li Yewu came that he felt the support of all people.

Strictly speaking, I didn't enjoy it much earlier than the third brother.

But the atmosphere has been driven up to this point, what can he say?You can't tell Brother Huang that he hasn't been supported by the people for a long time.

Therefore, Xiao Jiuxi could only raise his glass with an embarrassed smile: "Don't say anything, drink."

Xiao Zhe clinked his glass with his lips.

Xiao Jiuxi always felt that Brother Sanhuang was a little different tonight. He used to feel that there were at least three mountains on his back, but now he felt that the three mountains were gone, and he showed a rare sense of relaxation.

But at this time, Xiao Jiuxi was already drowsy, and after Xiao Zhe drank a few more drinks, he couldn't find Bei at all.

Just like that, before I knew it, both brothers were drunk, sleepy, and fell asleep.
