The gunfire at the bottom of the mountain has long since subsided, and the entrance to the canyon has been taken over by people in uniform. Xu Jun and his men are taking care of the wounded and carrying items.

Xie Jing was carried to the foot of the mountain by Master Jiu, Xu Jun saw it from afar and immediately walked over, asking, "What's wrong, where is the injury?"

Xie Jing shook her arm and said, "It's nothing, it's just a minor injury."

Xu Jun heaved a sigh of relief, and he was relieved only when the doctor came to see him: "Master Bai Jiu brought the doctor, and I'll let him have a look."

The doctor who rushed over was also an acquaintance. He was bandaging an injured salt worker at the side. He came over with a medicine box and saw Xie Jing and smiled: "Xiao Xie, is it really you? I just heard them say that the young master has the same name as you. It’s just a mistake.”

Xie Jing didn't expect that the doctor accompanying Master Jiu turned out to be Fang Jiwu. Fang Jiwu checked him for injuries. Xie Jing glanced at him and looked up at the people outside. Master Jiu brought a lot of people this time. Many of them were left by Beidi to accompany the old man.

Xie Jing looked up at Master Jiu, with a worried expression on his face: "Master, how is Beidi?"

Jiu Ye said: "The rebellion has subsided, it's just that the Japanese made a lot of trouble, and they have made enemies before, so the business must be closed."

"Very serious?"

"Fortunately, Russia has been more chaotic in the past two years, and business will not be able to be done for a while. After discussing with me, my grandfather decided to move to the southwest. This was also expected a few years ago." The blades of grass on Jing's hair touched the coral beads on the braid with her fingers, "You always dress like this in Xichuan?"

Xie Jing was stunned for a moment, her ears turned red immediately, and she reached out to take it off, but Master Jiu stopped her and said, "No, it's just interesting to watch."

He ran his hands along Xie Jing's braids, put his thumbs next to his ears, and lightly stroked Xie Jing's plain silver earrings: "Is this also a Xichuan custom?"

"Yes."

"It's fine for you to wear."

Xie Jing's ears were flushed, and he clenched his hands tightly, not daring to raise his eyes to look at anyone.

Master Jiu touched it and quickly withdrew his hand. Xie Jing felt the mountain wind blowing by his ears, and his face was a little cooler.

Master Jiu knew people from the military, so he took Xu Jun to say hello. When he came back later, everyone went to Zhuandou Township first.

Several people were sitting in the same carriage, Xu Jun looked at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield outside, and asked tentatively: "The people of Xichuan City are grateful for Mr. Bai's move to rescue this time, but they don't know who the little general who brought the troops here this time is?"

Lord Jiu said politely: "Second Master Xu doesn't need to be called that. We are about the same age, so you can call me Bai Jiu." He followed Xu Jun's line of sight to look outside the curtain of the carriage, and chuckled, "As for the person who came here, his name is Luo Nianqiu. , is a friend of mine, who used to be the same teacher as me when I was studying in the capital, and they all worshiped under Mr. Huang Mingyou Huang. He was originally from Shu, and this time it was just a coincidence.

Xu Jun: "How long will General Luo be stationed in Xichuan?"

Master Jiu: "It's half a month at most, and three to five days at least."

This was somewhat beyond Xu Jun's expectation: "Just passing by?"

Master Jiu nodded and said, "It's still a gift."

Xu Jun wanted to ask again, but suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes coming towards him, and after a while, he heard Xie Siquan's voice. After all, Patriarch Xie couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately brought someone to pick them up as soon as he heard the letter.He followed the car on horseback and didn't go in. He just rushed inside and bowed his hands to count as seeing it. When he saw Xie Jing, he even bent over and shouted with a smile: "Jing'er!"

Xie Jing called uncle and looked up at him.

Xie Siquan stretched out his hand and rubbed his head vigorously. He laughed and said, "Good boy! I've heard about it. Let's go to Zhuan Dou in a while. I'll set up a banquet for you to welcome the wind and have a good drink!"

Turn to Dou Township.

After Xie Jing got off the car, because his arm was still injured, Xie Siquan asked him to rest by himself, and then went to prepare for the evening banquet.Xu Jun hesitated for a moment, seeing that Xie Jing had been following the Bai family, he didn't stop him, he only let Hu Da follow, and he left with Xie Siquan.

Xu Da wanted to follow, but the guards beside Master Jiu were different from the ones Xie Jing brought to Xichuan's Xie's house. They all had cold faces and were not easy to talk to, blocking him out like iron walls.

Hu Da is from Xichuan, and his height is not bad in the local area, but he is not good compared with the people in the Northland. He can't see the young master inside even when he is jumping. He told him to go first.

Huda: "..."

Hu Da didn't dare to leave, but he couldn't squeeze through. He watched helplessly as the ninth master of the Bai family took Xie Jing to a flower hall. He was stopped by a big man at the door, and he found a corner to hide.

In the flower hall, there is a bogus stand, which can be used as a shadow on the wall, and three people are vaguely seen sitting at the table inside, two of them are playing chess with their pieces, and the other is watching from the sidelines.

Xie Jing followed Master Jiu and walked around the bogu shelf, only to see that the people who came were all old friends.

Huang Mingyou was playing chess with He Dongting, and the young man standing beside him leaning on the back of his chair to watch the match was Cao Yunzhao whom he hadn't seen for several years.

Xie Jing had been favored by Cao Yunzhao before, and he remembered him clearly, and recognized him at a glance: "Young Master Cao!"

Cao Yunzhao raised his head in a daze for a moment, then laughed, and took a few steps forward to take a closer look: "Xiao Xie? It's amazing, you're so tall, come here and let me see—" He stretched out his hand to grab Xie Jing , but was stopped by Lord Jiu, and immediately said: "Bai Jiu, what are you doing, you can't do it even if you take a look?"

Master Jiu said softly, "It's fine, don't touch it, he still has injuries on his arm."

He Dongting at the side heard it, stood up quickly and asked: "Why is it hurt? I'll take a look, but I've seen the doctor. Is the injury serious?"

Xie Jing was injured, and three people surrounded him at once. Cao Yunzhao felt sorry for the beauty's damage and the white jade was slightly flawed. He Dongting was worried about his son. He was very careful when he touched Xie Jing's fingers, for fear of pain. Mr. Huang was the most relaxed. He laughed and said: "Fortunately, it was the left hand that was injured, and this right hand can still hold a pen and write."

He Dongting disagreed and wanted to find a doctor.

Xie Jing said: "I've already looked for it, and changed the medicine, it's okay."

Several people sat down and talked about old times.

Xie Jing didn't expect them to get together. After asking, Cao Yunzhao said proudly: "Xiao Xie, you must be curious about why I came here, right? I came back from studying abroad, and my family arranged a job. It turned out to be a coincidence when I came to take office, I didn’t expect to meet Mr. He and the teacher when I was on a boat in Shanghai, and they went with me all the way.”

Master Jiu took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know who it is. I asked all the way that I was in the Shanghai stock market and asked for money and expenses. Those who didn't know thought I was the one who wanted to take office."

Cao Yunzhao smiled and said, "You don't need to pay attention to these things in the friendship between you and me." After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Jing curiously, "Xiao Xie, I have never heard you mention that Mr. He is your father. ..."

Master Jiu stepped on his foot under the table.

Cao Yunzhao hissed and stopped talking.

He Dongting on the side held the teacup, looked away slightly, and was rarely nervous. He cleared his throat and was about to say something to make amends, when he heard Xie Jing on the opposite side say: "Yes, something happened before, and I have time to talk about it in the future." .”

Cao Yunzhao also saw that the atmosphere was not right, although he didn't know what was going on, he still smoothed things over and said with a smile: "So there are some stories in it, I think Mr. He loves you very much, it's a blessing in disguise."

Xie Jing nodded and said, "Father loves me very much."

The word "Father" made He Dongting almost unable to hold the teacup in his hand, trying to suppress his excitement, his lips trembled slightly.

Master Jiu changed the subject and talked with Cao Yunzhao about purchasing machinery and equipment. During the period, he also mentioned the He family property. Several companies were either banks or industries. In addition, Cao Yunzhao, a son from a family of politicians, had a lot to talk about.Mr. Huang was curious about the landform of Xichuan, and when he asked Xie Jing, he heard some interesting things. He was amazed when he talked about black bittern salt.

Xie Jing said seriously: "I'll take my husband there another day, you can try it."

Mr. Huang was overjoyed and nodded again and again: "Okay!"

He Dongting sat on the side and looked at Xie Jing with a smile. He coughed occasionally, but after a few months, his temples were already gray, and he looked older, but his face had a little more smile, and he looked very kind.

Not long after, Xie Siquan sent someone to invite them to a banquet.

A celebration banquet was held in the hall on the first floor and in the private rooms on the second and third floors, and it was really lively and lively.

Several saltworks in Xichuan were extremely united after this battle, and together they invited several guests from afar in the largest box, and after they were seated, the last guest, Luo Nianqiu, came belatedly.
