Xiao Keer looked at Xia Shang for a few times, her expression was a little complicated, and she looked at Qin Yuan: "Is everything you said true?"
"Everything I say is true. If Miss Xiao doesn't believe it, you can go and inquire about it. Anyone in the army knows about this matter, and there is absolutely no way it is false."
Xiao Keer was quite touched. She was silent for a moment, lowered her head, poured a glass of wine for Xia Shang, and brought it to Xia Shang respectfully: "It was the little girl who was offensive, sir. Please forgive me."
In front of such a young girl who was pretending to be mature, Xia Shang couldn't say anything, so he took the wine and drank it, and said a few more polite words.
The atmosphere of the scene became much more harmonious.
The three of them encountered obstacles at every turn in the morning. Unexpectedly, they met a good-looking girl at Baiweixian, and this girl was also the owner of the richest man in Xuzhou.
Now there is an opportunity.
General Lou touched Xia Shang's shoulder and whispered: "Sir, I think there is something going on this time. Miss Xiao will definitely support us."
The small attic was so big. Xiao Keer listened to General Lou's words and asked curiously: "What do you support?"
Xia Shang didn't want to reveal his purpose so quickly, but he had already said it here, and Xia Shang had nothing to hide. He smiled and said: "It's just a mission, but there are not enough manpower in the army, and we need to be in Xuzhou City."
Recruit a group of people. After asking around the city, we found that not many people were willing to support our actions."
"What action?"
Xia Shang shook his head: "This matter involves confidentiality, and we cannot tell anyone until we reach our destination. But one thing is certain, our mission is for the survival of Xuzhou City, and those involved will not fight."
Xiao Keer hesitated for a while: "How many people are needed?"
"One hundred is enough."
"My Xiao family has a hundred servants."
Listening to this tone, Xiao Keer is willing to give her full support.
Xia Shang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that things would suddenly become clear to him. He suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm: "Although Miss Xiao is willing to support us, it does not mean that every servant is willing to support us. After all, this mission is still dangerous.
.”
"Please don't worry, sir. I'll leave the manpower matters to the little girl."
"Okay!" Xia Shang praised, "If Miss Xiao really has the courage to organize a hundred people, she will definitely report to the court the next day to the Xiao family and
Miss Xiao has recorded a great achievement. If the chaos in Xuzhou is quelled, the Xiao family will be richer and more prosperous for generations to come."
Xiao Keer said coolly: "I don't want this."
"Then when will Miss Xiao be able to recruit enough people?"
"When I return home, it only takes two hours to recruit enough people."
"If we can gather enough people in two hours, we will set off tonight."
Xiao Keer was stunned, as if she didn't expect Xia Shanghui to be so anxious, but she also understood the urgency of the matter from Xia Shang's words.
No more talking at the moment, I took my leave and went back to prepare.
This is a resolute woman, but things progressed so fast that General Lou didn't believe it: "Sir, do you think this can be done? Why do I feel that such a little girl is not very reliable?"
"I believe her." Xia Shang felt that although this girl was young, her inner strength was different from all the women he had seen before.
Seeing Xiao Ke'er leaving, Xia Shang had no intention of eating anymore. He picked up a few chopsticks in his mouth, left a table of fine wine and delicacies, and hurried back to the military camp.
The military camp is very busy. Even if there are only some simple patrol tasks at present, due to the lack of manpower, it is not easy to ensure the absolute safety of Xuzhou City. Everyone has their own tasks, even Li Xin is no exception, and even Xia Shang even reported
Even though I told him my plan, I couldn't find anyone.
Until dusk, Xia Shang and ten of his selected followers arrived at the door of Xiao's house in simple clothes.
Two hours have passed, and the team in front of Xiao's house is ready.
Looking at the number of people, there were indeed a hundred people.
"This Miss Xiao is really amazing. She really gathered everyone together in such a short period of time!"
Xia Shang also had a happy face, feeling that the raging heavy rain was no longer so cold. He was about to go over to say hello, but heard a childish voice coming from the corner of the street.
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pretty little girl in a beige floral jacket ran over, holding a big black umbrella and covering her whole face.
But by the sound of his voice, he must be fifteen or sixteen years old.
Before Xia Shang could react, the girl rushed over and grabbed Xia Shang's hand, and then said to the followers in a commanding tone: "You all hide first!"
Xia Shang was a little confused: "Who are you?"
"I am the second young lady of the Xiao family. It was my sister who asked me to come.
of."
It turned out to be the second young lady of the Xiao family. Xia Shang hurriedly warned the people behind him and told them to stay away first.
Xia Shang was pulled by the little girl to the tree on the other side.
"You are a high-ranking official from the capital, right?"
Xia Shang nodded.
"Sister said that our family is transporting a group of family treasures out of Xuzhou City, and all the servants in the family will escort us. Don't tell me. You are now the officers and soldiers my sister paid to escort us. Do you understand?"
Xia Shang was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, Xia Shang turned around and left.
"Hey!" The little girl grabbed Xia Shang's hand again, "You didn't even say thank you."
"Thank you, little girl."
"I'm not a little girl, my name is Xiao Doudou."
"I know, little girl Xiao Doudou."
"I'm not a little girl!"
The little girl argued angrily, but Xia Shang had already walked away.
Xia Shang returned to the team, told everyone what the little girl said, and then led the team to the gate of Xiao's courtyard.
As soon as the team arrived, Xiao Keer hurriedly greeted them.
Xia Shang winked at her, indicating that her younger sister had brought the message.
In the middle of the queue at the entrance of Xiao's house, there was indeed a cart, dragging quite a lot of goods on it. It was probably the Xiao family's treasure that Xiao Doudou said.
Xia Shang and the others became the escort team hired by the Xiao family. Naturally, Miss Xiao family became the person in charge of this operation.
This change made Xia Shang a little worried, afraid that something would happen. At the same time, he never thought that Xiao Keer would personally participate in this matter.
At this time, Xiao Keer had already spoken to the team: "Everyone rest first, and we will set off when it gets dark."
The servants of the Xiao family are still uneasy, but this is easier than telling them directly that they are participating in a mission issued by the military.
It's just that there was deception in the whole thing, which was somewhat inappropriate. After all, it was a very dangerous matter, but these servants were still completely kept in the dark.
"She is really a woman who cannot be compared to other women. Miss Xiao's courage is beyond words." General Lou looked at Xiao Ke'er walking up and down in the rain and couldn't help but sigh beside Xia Shang.
Before Xia Shang could reply, Xiao Keer had already arrived in front of Xia Shang.
