After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

"What you said is true?"

"General Ji, what is the background of my Xiao family? The abilities of these three guards are displayed here!"

Mingjia made a disgusted and forced-to-explain expression, as if she was complaining about Ji Lin, and she didn't understand such a simple truth.

There was another silence in the study. Mingjia felt that if Ji Lin still didn't believe it, she could even swear a poisonous oath about the origins of the three guards.

After a long time, Ji Lin exhaled a long breath. The air pressure in the study was really low.

"You just said you only accounted for one percent?"

"Actually... I just earn a hard-earned income. As you surveyed, I am responsible for taking care of these industries. It is also very hard for me after a year."

"A subordinate like me with some status and a little ability, or a hired shopkeeper, earns a lot of monthly money every year!"

When Ming Jia spoke, there was a cunning smile on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of pride and a hint of shame.

Ji Lin now regrets provoking the Xiao family, that's not right! It was to provoke Xiao Mingjia!

"Young master Xiao has such a great talent, but he has always been subordinate to others and worked for other people's property. Don't you think of other ways out?"

Are you planning to poach Ming Jia and start a new business on her own?

Mingjia didn't even bother to think of a reason to refuse. Now that she had taken control of the negotiation, it was up to her to decide what to talk about next.

"I wonder if General Ji is in the mood now. Would you like to talk to me about the second way of cooperation?"

At this time, Ji Lin remembered that Xiao Mingjia had said before that she preferred the second way of cooperation.

"you say!"

"General Ji will let my people and goods enter the country. I will introduce General Ji to a new member of the court. He will definitely be able to help General Ji in the future. At least I can take care of the general's eldest son."

"Hmph! Don't you even make a draft of your lies? Do you think this is the time when the dynasty was just established? You are still a new member of the court!"

Ming Jia felt that it was normal for Ji Lin not to believe in him. After all, the Huo family was still causing trouble in Nanzhao!

Introducing Ji Lin to the Huo family was Ming Jia's sudden idea after meeting Ji Lin. It was actually the inexplicable fit between Ji Lin's reckless demeanor and the behavior of the Huo family's teammates.

By the middle of August this year, Xiao Qingshan had served in Dianzhou for six years. Mingjia had a hunch that as long as his father could cooperate smoothly in this matter, the transfer would come.

His family left Dianzhou, but the business in Dianzhou could not stop. Mingjia needed someone to take care of these properties for him.

Looking at the entire Liang Dynasty, only Fuyuan General Ji Lin is the most suitable, and the Huo family was left by Mingjia to supervise and contain Ji Lin.

Therefore, Mingjia's "security guard" Ji Lin and "board supervisor" Huo Jia of all the industries in Dianzhou are just acquaintances away from working together!

"General Ji, this matter is very involved. These idle people..."

As Mingjia spoke, he stared at Ji Lin's lieutenant, making his intentions clear and vivid.

"you…!"

The deputy general was so angry that he wanted to rush forward and take action. Why didn't he notice the arrogance of this brat at the door of the inn just now?

Mingjia's smile remained unchanged and she waited quietly for Ji Lin's reaction. Sure enough, when the deputy general's hand had already touched the handle of the knife, Ji Lin slowly raised his hand and waved it twice.

In exchange of courtesy, Ji Lin asked his lieutenant to go out, and Mingjia also waved to Chengwen and Han Yan to stay away.

As for Ru Ying, who had just appeared, Ming Jia really couldn't control it.

"There is no one left, you can speak now!"

"Does General Ji know that the first year of Guangde is approaching and I just came back from the capital in the north, but I immediately took him to Nanzhao?"

Ji Lin knew about this. Xiao Mingjia did not hide it at that time and left the government office directly with others.

"Ok!"

"I went to the Huo family, Nanzhao Huo family! You can also understand it as Huo Zelin's family, after all, you are so familiar with Vajra Dorje!"

Ming Jia's words were slightly sarcastic, but Ji Lin didn't take them to heart at all. They were just talking quickly.

"However, I think General Ji may be more familiar with another figure in the Huo family."

"This person... naturally has the surname Huo, and his last name is Yue!"

"Squeak~!"

"Huo Yue?"

First, there was a harsh sound of the chair legs dragging the floor. It was evident that Ji Lin's movement and strength in getting up were strong, and the exclamation was even more harsh.

Mingjia wanted to show her inner dislike, but considering that Ji Lin's ability to bear it was a bit poor now, she still felt stiff and kept her smile unchanged.

"Answer me, the person you just mentioned is Huo Yue, the famous general of the former dynasty?"

Mingjia nodded, she was right!

After a long time, Ji Lin sat back in the chair again, waving to Mingjia with dull eyes, motioning for Mingjia to continue talking.

"General Ji, in short, the civil strife in Nanzhao can at least ensure peace on the southwest border in the next few years. The Huo family will return to Daliang via Dianzhou in a while."

"General Ji, I am so sincere that I have shared such an important secret with you!"

Mingjia finally finished what she wanted to say and could safely pour herself another cup of tea to moisten her throat.

While sipping the tea, Mingjia was not in a hurry to see Ji Lin's reaction. He might not be able to react for a while.

Mingjia drank two cups of tea before seeing Ji Lin's eyes light up again, staring at him with bright eyes.

"It seems I was right. My nephew is indeed a heroic boy! Is my nephew sixteen years old this year?"

Ji Lin's words of "good nephew" immediately shocked Mingjia. She seemed to be overdoing it.

Mingjia: "..."

Damn it, you underestimated Ji Lin’s face!

Although Ji Lin has been shocked by what Xiao Mingjia said, he can firmly hold the position of general and guard the southwest border for many years, and his brain is not a decoration.

Ji Lin listened all the way, and now he can grasp three key points:

First, when Xiao Mingjia came to Dianzhou at the age of ten, the guards around him were already members of the Duke's Mansion, which shows that he was already very important at that time.

Second, whether it is Taifu Xie, Li Guogong or even Commander Shen, they all trust Xiao Mingjia's ability. Otherwise, the person who went to Nanzhao to contact the Huo family would not be Xiao Mingjia.

Even now that Nanzhao is in chaos, the information revealed here shows that the Huo family also trusts Xiao Mingjia.

The third thing is what Xiao Mingjia said just now. She will introduce herself to the Huo family and even let the Huo family take care of her eldest son!

Combining the above three points, Ji Lin now has a new idea:

[Xiao Mingjia, are you engaged? 】

Mingjia felt that Ji Lin's eyes were staring at her, as if he were looking at a big golden ingot, and Mingjia was jumping crazily in her heart.

Mingjia was silent for a moment, then reached out and tapped the tokens on the table that had not yet been put away, and spoke directly to Ji Lin.

"My parents can't do anything about my marriage. I suggest General Ji not to interfere!"

Mingjia deliberately spoke like she had the inside story, but didn't give Ji Lin an explanation. She was just betting that Ji Lin didn't dare to get to the bottom of it.

Sure enough, after Ji Lin heard what Ming Jia said, he never asked about Ming Jia's age.
