The mine is very large, and there are many prisoners working inside. There is no one at all. Fortunately, Cao Ya is familiar with the ground, so he quickly found the officials in charge of the mine. After searching the roster, he quickly found the area where Kingsoft is located. Moreover, after learning about Li Zhang and Cao Ya, the other party was very enthusiastic and took Li Zhang and the others to the mine in person.

"Shaoguo Duke is careful at his feet. The roads here in the mine are not very good. There are stones everywhere. Don't hurt you!" The official who led the way in front reminded carefully while walking that the official's surname is Qian and the mine supervisor of this iron ore. Since he learned that Cao Ma is Cao Wei's son, he has been serving him carefully. As for Li Zhang, he has been ignored by him. I guess he would not have thought that Li Zhang's background is bigger than Cao Ma.

Li Zhang also looked at the environment of the iron ore while walking. He saw that the mine pit was several miles in radius, with a plate shape from the outside, and a road to the east, south and north. The miners also waved pickaxes to work at the bottom of the pit. They mainly mined the ore and then smashed and loaded the truck. In addition to this large mine, there were several smaller mines around.

After these ores were mined, they were not smelted here, but transported to Qingzhou City for smelting. This is mainly because this is the border. If the enemy attacked and occupied it, the smelted steel would be used by the enemy. In contrast, the Qingzhou area was much safer, so the local government would rather spend effort to transport the ore to the rear than to open an iron smelting workshop here. From this, it can be seen that the Song Dynasty's control over the border was still very weak.

Li Zhang and Cao Ya followed Qian Mine Supervisor to the largest mine pit. Apart from the working miners, there were vicious supervisors. Except for the exiled prisoners, the others were all prisoners of war captured on the battlefield, most of whom were aliens. Moreover, as far as Li Zhang knew, these prisoners of war were more miserable than prisoners. If the prisoners could survive the sentence, they might still leave. However, if no one helped them redeem themselves, they would probably have to die here.

After Qian Mine Supervision came down, he asked a few supervisors and soon found the area where Kingsoft worked. Originally, Li Zhang thought that he could see him at a glance at the size of Kingsoft, but after watching for a while, he could not find Kingsoft's huge figure from the working crowd.

"Kinshan!" As a supervisor shouted, he saw a person in the crowd finally stopped his work, then raised his head and looked at the supervisor in confusion. However, when he saw Li Zhang next to the supervisor, he couldn't help but show an ecstatic expression and said, "Li Zhang! Why are you here?"

Li Zhang was also happy when he heard Kingsoft's familiar voice, but when he saw the other person, he was shocked and almost recognized it because Kingsoft's iconic fat body had disappeared without a trace and his facial features were completely exposed, which made his appearance change a lot. If he were not a very familiar person, he would probably not dare to recognize it at all.

Li Zhang immediately took a few steps, looked at Jinshan and said excitedly: "Not only am I here, but Mrs. Jin and her younger sister are here, they are in the inn in Qingzhou City!"

"My mother and the others are here too!" Jinshan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately grabbed Li Zhang's arm excitedly and said, and the fat clothes on his body trembled slightly. Speaking of which, only the clothes on his body can show that Jinshan had been fat before.

"Well, I didn't want them to come, but they knew that I was coming to Qingzhou and had to follow you to see you. In desperation, they had to bring them!" Li Zhang happily patted Jinshan's shoulder, and at this time he also found that Jinshan was not only thin, but also too thin, with bones on his shoulders. Needless to ask, he knew how much hardship he had suffered during this period.

"Hehe, my mother will definitely be happy to see me. I finally got rid of the fat body!" Jin Shan also saw what Li Zhang thought, and smiled again with a self-deprecating smile.

"Yes, Mrs. Jin will definitely be happy, but my younger sister has not lost weight recently. Instead, she has gained a little weight because of martial arts practice." Li Zhang also laughed at this time. Jinshan did not tell him how much hardship he had suffered during this period, and Li Zhang did not ask. After all, everyone is friends, and some words can be felt without saying them.

At that moment, Li Zhang and Jinshan chatted for a few more times, then turned to the Qian Mine Supervisor next to him and said, "Mini Supervisor, I want to take Jinshan out, I wonder if it is feasible?"

"This..." Qian Mine Monitor showed a embarrassed expression when he heard Li Zhang's words. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "According to the rules of the mine, exiled prisoners are generally not allowed to go out. If their families want to visit, they can only come to the mine."

"Well~, you can just let it go. Li Chanjun came from the capital. This family member of Kingsoft came here from afar, and they were two females. It was not convenient to come to your mine!" At this time, Cao Ma coughed dryly and spoke for Li Zhang.

As soon as the Qian Mine Superintendent heard Cao Masa, he immediately changed his words: "Of course the law is nothing more than human favors. Since Jinshan's family has come to visit him from afar, I will give him three days off, and it will be fine if he comes back in three days!"

"Thank you, Qianmin!" Li Zhang also thanked the other party when he heard this. Although the Qianmin was a villain who was tempted by the power, he still had to rely on him to take care of Jinshan. So when he was speaking, he deliberately blocked the other people's sight with his body, and then quietly stuffed a few golden leaves into the other party's hands. As a result, the Qianmin's eyes lit up, and he calmed down calmly, and his attitude became more enthusiastic.

"Jinshan, let's go, go out to eat something first, and then I'll arrange for you to see Mrs. Jin!" Li Zhang immediately spoke to Jinshan again.

Jinshan was also very happy at this time. He put down his pickaxe and prepared to leave with Li Zhang. However, at this moment, a prisoner working behind Jinshan shouted: "Brother Jin, I..."

Jin Shan was stunned when he heard this voice, and then looked back at the prisoner, with a hesitant expression on his face. Li Zhang then realized that the prisoner opposite was about the same age, at most, about the same as him, but he was one head taller than him, but he was too thin, looking like a bamboo pole, with big eyes on his face black and round, and he looked very clever.

"Li Zhang, this is my good brother. Thanks to his care during this period, I survived in the mine, so I also want to take him to meet my mother!" Jin Shan said to Li Zhang again with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this. It seemed that the young man had a good relationship with Jinshan. Otherwise, Jinshan would definitely not have taken him to see Mrs. Jin. So he immediately turned to the Qianmin Supervisor and said, "Qianmin Supervisor, look..."

"No problem, it's the same. Just come back in three days, otherwise I won't explain it from above." The Qian Mine Supervisor collected Li Zhang's money and knew that there was Cao Wei behind Li Zhang, so he replied very simply at this time. Anyway, there is no big difference between going out and going out.

Seeing that the Qian Mine Supervisor agreed, the boy in the prison uniform happily threw away the tools in his hand and cheered, and then followed Jinshan. Li Zhang and Cao Ya also laughed and took them away.

When leaving the iron ore, Li Zhang specially found the Qian Mine Supervisor and secretly gave him some gold leaves, mainly asking him to arrange a relaxing job for Jinshan in the future. After all, it is too tiring to smash ore heavy jobs, and many miners are exhausted.

Regarding Li Zhang's request, Qian Mine Supervisor also slapped his chest so loudly, and repeatedly promised that he would make arrangements for Kingsoft. Whether he wanted to be a supervisor or a kitchen to cook, Kingsoft would choose whatever he wanted. This was also the easiest job in the mine. Supervisors didn't have to work, and the kitchen was full of oil and water, and they didn't have to worry about having no food to eat. If ordinary people didn't handle it, it was not their turn.

After receiving the guarantee from Qianmin, Li Zhang was relieved. After a few words of politeness to the other party, he took Jinshan to leave. Then Cao Mai took them to Tuoyuan Village again, and found the place where Cao Mai said that roasted mutton was ordered a table of mutton. Jinshan and the boy didn't bother to talk. They grabbed the mutton and ate it a big meal. Without asking, they knew that their daily diet in the mine was definitely not very good.

Li Zhang also tasted the roasted lamb here and found that the taste was indeed good. No wonder Cao Ma kept muttering. When Jinshan had almost finished eating, Li Zhang asked: "Jinshan, I came with Cao's comfort envoy this time. He probably had something to do. After dinner, I will arrange a carriage to take you back to Qingzhou City first. Mrs. Jin has been muttering about coming to find you these days."

"No problem, I miss my mother and my little sister too!" Jinshan shook his mouth at this time, and after saying that, he grabbed a roasted rib and chewed it, as if he wanted to make up for all the meat that was missing during this period.

However, in comparison, the young man next to Kingsoft was even more scary. He saw the meat as if he was desperate. Li had only bones left on a roasted lamb leg. He refused to give up and still used his teeth to make a sound of the sheep bones. If he hadn't been able to bite it, he would probably have eaten the sheep bones.

"Eat this, this is tenderer than lamb leg meat!" Cao Mata next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up a baked rib and handed it to the boy and said.

"Thank you!" The boy said vaguely with oily mouth, and took the ribs and started eating again.

Seeing the young man's eating behavior, Li Zhang couldn't help but think of the wild dog. The two of them looked so similar to their meals, but this time the wild dog did not come. First, Li Zhang was going out with Cao Wei, so there was no problem with safety. Second, Li Zhang was worried that it would be unsafe for Mrs. Jin and her daughter to live in the inn, so he kept asking the wild dog to accompany them in the inn.

"Jinshan, what do you call this little brother?" Li Zhang asked at this time. After meeting Jinshan, he was only concerned about talking about each other's current situation and did not have time to introduce the boy.

Before Jinshan could answer, the boy who was gnawing the bones said first: "My name is Di Qing. Brother Jin has always called me Xiaoqing, and you can call me Xiaoqing too!"
