"That's why we need to work together." Jian Qingxuan said: "I am responsible for working on our side, and he is responsible for the barbarian side."
She looked at Jian Xizhou with tears in her eyes: "Second Grandpa, do you really think that defeating the barbarians will make our people's lives better?"
"Do you think that the low living standards of our people under the rule of Jujian City are due to the barbarians?"
Jian Qingxuan became more and more excited as he spoke: "Our biggest problem is not that the territory is not large enough, but that our rulers do not care about the life and death of our people at all, but only regard our people as a tool to contribute our efforts.
"
Jian Xizhou frowned, unable to refute.
Jian Qingxuan continued: "So what if we defeat the barbarians? It's just to satisfy the desire for conquest and curiosity of some high-ranking people."
She looked at Jian Xizhou and said earnestly: "Second Grandpa, we have the skills to conquer the barbarians. Wouldn't it be better to use it to improve the situation of our own people?"
Jian Xizhou is actually a relatively aggressive person at heart, but he can't refute what Jian Qingxuan said.
"Second Grandpa, promise me not to do anything against the barbarians again, okay?"
Jian Qingxuan grabbed Jian Xizhou's hand and begged: "Xuan'er needs you too. Our Jian family is in this situation now. I really can't do it without you. Can you bear to see the Jian family's foundation ruined for so many years?"
Is it in my hand?"
Jian Xizhou's eyes flashed rapidly several times, and finally he could only sigh.
Seeing that Jian Xizhou's attitude had softened, Jian Qingxuan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Since we are no longer prepared to go against the barbarians, it doesn't matter if we just hand over the list to him."
Jian Qingxuan grabbed Jian Xizhou's hand and shook it: "Second Grandpa, just give him the list, okay?"
"I really can't do anything about you." Jian Xizhou flicked Jian Qingxuan's forehead with his finger and said with a bitter smile: "Your second grandfather, I have been free and loose for most of my life, and now I have to be controlled by you?"
Jian Qingxuan said: "That's because Second Grandpa loves me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to control you."
Jian Xizhou looked at Chu Tianshu, frowned and said: "There is no list at all."
Chu Tianshu frowned, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
I've been talking about love for a long time, but it's all in vain?
Hearing this, Jian Qingxuan was also shocked and said hurriedly: "Second Grandpa..."
Jian Xizhou raised his hand to stop what Jian Qingxuan was saying, and said in a deep voice: "If I want to contact the barbarians, I will naturally contact their big shots. Ordinary people cannot allow me to enter and leave the barbarians freely."
Jian Qingxuan nodded, Jian Xizhou did make sense.
Jian Xizhou continued: "It's good to be able to contact one or two of these people. How many do you think there can be? Are you still on the list? Where did you get the list?"
Chu Tianshu frowned and looked at Jian Xizhou, and had to admit that what he said was indeed what he said.
Jian Qingxuan said: "Second Grandpa, you mean that there are only one or two big shots in contact with you from the barbarian tribe?"
Chu Tianshu also stared at Jian Xizhou, his eyes burning.
Jian Xizhou's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "To be precise, there is only one."
Chu Tianshu asked in a quiet tone: "Bei Youfeng?"
Jian Xizhou's pupils shrank: "How do you know?"
Chu Tianshu sneered and said: "Besides Bei Youfeng, there is no other big shot who can let you enter and exit the northern passage at will, right?"
Jian Xizhou nodded: "Yes, that's him."
Although Jian Xizhou could not refute what Jian Qingxuan just said, he was still not willing to give up his persistence for so many years.
Therefore, after much thought, he still didn't want to expose Xie Shuqing just like that.
But if you don't say anything, it will obviously not be easy to pass this hurdle, and Jian Qingxuan will not agree.
Just talk about a random person? You may not be able to win Chu Tianshu’s trust.
After much deliberation, there was no one more suitable than Bei Youfeng, who had just come to Giant Sword City to look for him, and it happened that Chu Tianshu also pointed to Bei Youfeng.
Jian Xizhou will naturally leave this blame to Bei Youfeng!
Jian Qingxuan immediately looked at Chu Tianshu: "My second grandfather has already said it."
Chu Tianshu said: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my word."
Jian Qingxuan said: "I keep my word, let's go get you the incense beads."
"Incense beads?" Jian Yun couldn't help but ask, "What incense beads are you getting?"
Jian Qingxuan explained: "To show my sincerity in cooperation, I promised to give him all the incense beads we have accumulated."
The faces of Jian Yun and Jian Xizhou suddenly turned dark again, and their expressions were very unkind.
Chu Tianshu touched his nose and said to Jian Qingxuan: "There is no need to go to the secret room. In fact, I have moved those incense beads to the exit of the secret passage."
Hearing this, Jian Qingxuan's expression became strange.
Jian Yun and Jian Xizhou's faces turned darker.
Jian Qingxuan asked: "Which exit?"
"This way."
Chu Tianshu said something and led the way.
Jian Qingxuan and others followed.
After walking some distance forward, Jian Yun finally came to his senses, frowned and asked, "Miss, has he been to the secret passage before?"
Jian Qingxuan nodded, and then explained: "He said that he accidentally discovered the secret passage. When he was guarding the warehouse, he discovered the entrance and exit in the warehouse. We came in through the entrance and exit of the warehouse just now."
Jian Xizhou looked at the back of Chu Tianshu walking quickly and asked: "Did you give him a wooden bracelet?"
Jian Qingxuan shook his head: "No."
Jian Yun frowned: "According to what he said, he came in by himself before. How did he avoid the man-eating scorpion?"
Jian Qingxuan said: "He himself doesn't know very well."
After finishing speaking, Jian Qingxuan added: "However, I think it must have something to do with the strange bird on his shoulder."
Qingqing couldn't help but interjected: "That strange bird can breathe fire."
Jian Qingxuan said: "We saw before that the strange bird breathed fire, and then the man-eating scorpion retreated."
Jian Yun and Jian Xizhou's eyes met, with unconcealable surprise in their eyes.
Jian Xizhou had suffered losses from the phoenix before, but he never expected that the phoenix could even restrain the man-eating scorpion in their secret passage.
Chu Tianshu naturally listened to the conversation between them word for word, but he didn't say anything.
Chu Tianshu paused for a moment, and when Jian Qingxuan caught up, he touched his nose and said, "There is something else I want to discuss with you."
Jian Qingxuan glanced at Chu Tianshu and said, "You tell me."
"Que'er." Chu Tianshu said: "I want her to stay in the City Lord's Mansion in the future. I don't need to bother you to take care of her. Just help me ensure her safety."
He had agreed to other things, so how could Jian Qingxuan refuse such a trivial matter.
She responded happily: "Let her stay with me from now on, don't worry."
