Chapter 282 Who's Child

An Guanglu's heart moved, and he asked the general who came to report:
"Is it the son of the barbarian or the child of the Central Plains?"

"Children from the Central Plains."

Seeing the general soldier's question, the general answered hurriedly. It happened that someone took the group of young children out of the west wing room. There were boys and girls, all about three or four years old. There were soldiers all over the courtyard, but none of them cried out, they all wept silently.

"Whose children are you from?"

An Guanglu walked over with a pleasant face and asked them softly.

Seeing that An Guanglu was not fierce at all, those children really wanted to talk to him, but they couldn't make a sound. Seeing that these children were speechless, An Guanglu frowned suspiciously:
"What kind of medicine is sold in the Wanjia gourd? What are you doing with a bunch of dumb children?"

One of them was dressed in brocade clothes, a boy with a pink and jade-carved face was very courageous, so many soldiers with weapons in the yard would have scared adults, but he not only didn't cry, but also opened a pair of big black eyes curiously watch them.

"What's your name?"

When An Guanglu saw this cute-looking, clever little boy, he fell in love with him, and when he talked to him, he had a kind smile on his face.

The little boy pointed to his throat, shook his head at him, and then pointed to the corpse on the ground. The little chubby clenched his fists tightly with an angry expression.

Here An Guanglu asked the child, while a team of officers and soldiers came to the inn where Ji Shuisheng lived, drove them all downstairs, and took the store's registration book to interrogate them one by one.

Everyone had to produce customs clearance documents, and those who could not produce the documents were taken away on the spot.

Ji Shuisheng took out the official documents he had brought, which said that Mocheng bought them. The officers and soldiers took a look at them, then looked up at Ji Shuisheng, and returned the documents to him when they saw that they were from the Central Plains.

These officers and soldiers stayed in the station for a long time, not only reading the documents, but also asking them what they were doing in Jincheng?The investigation was very detailed.

Also, Ji Shuisheng was relatively relaxed and was not questioned. One of the men who couldn't tell what he was doing in Jincheng was escorted away by the officers and soldiers.

Ji Shuisheng was in a hurry to go back to Zhushan, but now the city was full of officers and soldiers, and among the things he purchased were blacksmithing equipment, he had to wait until the officers and soldiers withdrew for fear of arousing suspicion.

The officers and soldiers searched the city for two days in a row, and arrested many people, especially the Hu people, who arrested them one by one, regardless of what they came to Jincheng for.

Ji Shuisheng was worried about those children, and went to the Anjia Army camp to check secretly in the dead of night, and he was relieved when he saw that those children were rescued and taken good care of them.

On the third day, the An family army withdrew from the city, and the city calmed down. Ji Shuisheng hurried to buy a carriage, and when he drove to the blacksmith's shop, he saw the blacksmith who had raised the price standing at the door of the shop, eager to see through.

Seeing Ji Shuisheng coming over with the carriage, he was as enthusiastic as if he saw a relative, and he ran two steps over to hold Ji Shuisheng's hand and never let go.

"But I waited for you, and you said that you would come to pull things the next day, why did you come?"

The blacksmith's tone was full of complaints and grievances. The city has not been peaceful these two days, and he wanted to leave Jincheng as soon as possible.

"I can't do anything about the officers and soldiers searching the city."

Ji Shuisheng briefly explained why he didn't come, and asked the blacksmith to load things into the car for him.

Here the blacksmith was asked to load the carts, and he took two more carriages to pull the grain. The shopkeeper of the grain store was not as anxious as the blacksmith. Anyway, the grain was not worried about selling, and the price would increase if it was sold two days later.

After Ji Shuisheng loaded the car at the grain shop, he went to pack the bedding before returning to the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith had already loaded everything into the cart for him, and was anxiously waiting for Ji Shuisheng to come back.

"This is the remaining tael, order it!"

Ji Shuisheng had only paid the deposit before, and the balance was settled only after the goods were inspected.

The blacksmith clicked back and forth three times and said to Ji Shuisheng with a smile on his face:
"All right, all right."

Ji Shuisheng nodded, connected the three carriages together, and led the first carriage towards the outside of the city.

After walking for a while, he stopped and put all the newly bought quilts on the blacksmith tool cart as a cover, and then led the carriage to the outside of the city.

When I went to the gate of the city, I found that the guards were stricter than the day I came. They not only checked the people who wanted to enter the city, but also the people in the city.

Ji Shuisheng was a little worried, so he mingled behind a bunch of business convoys to see if he could get out?

Sometimes it was a matter of luck, Ji Shuisheng was very lucky, when the caravan ahead was found, it was the turn of the officers and soldiers to change guards, everyone thought that Ji Shuisheng and the caravan were together, and he left the city without anyone checking him.

All the way to Zhushan is very safe. There are no inspections by officers and soldiers or harassment by barbarians on this road. Except for the caravans, there are some refugees fleeing.

In order to stay away from these people, Ji Shuisheng drove the carriage forward, leaving them all behind.

After entering the mountain, turn off the mechanism and let Qu Da and the others come out to help them move the goods. Qu Da and Jiang Cheng were relieved when they saw Ji Shuisheng came back safely, and couldn't help complaining about Ji Shuisheng:

"I thought something happened to you, and we were so anxious to death."

"Something happened"

Ji Shuisheng briefly told what happened in Jincheng, and asked Quda and the others:

"Don't go to Jincheng recently, it's not peaceful."

In the past few days since Ji Shuisheng left, Quda and Jiangcheng have not been idle. They built two furnaces and mined a pile of iron ore. The mines were all covered with logs and planks to ensure safety.

For a few days, everyone worked hard and it was very effective. Ji Shuisheng was very satisfied with seeing it. His father's soldiers were all capable men. Only leave when the batch of iron comes.

Ji Shuisheng drove three carriages away from Zhushan, and wanted to go to Luocheng to fill up the three carriages first, and return to Mocheng with Yang Zhi and the others.

Before Ji Shuisheng arrived in Luocheng, he met Yang Batou and his brothers in a hurry on the road. The entire bodyguard company were all riding horses. They are almost flying.

Yang Zhi rode past him without even noticing Ji Shuisheng, and Ji Shuisheng hurriedly yelled at him:
"Brother Yang."

"Appeal."

When Yang Zhi heard Ji Shuisheng's shout, he pulled the horse's rein suddenly, and the horse suddenly stopped and stood up, which was very dangerous.

"Shuisheng? Why are you here?"

Yang Zhi came back on his horse, he looked very tired, his face was covered with dust, his eyes were blue, his whole face was thinner, he looked like he hadn't slept for a few days.

"I'm about to go to Los Angeles to find you after finishing my work."

Ji Shuisheng gave a vague explanation, didn't say what he was going to do specifically, but when he saw Yang Zhi in a hurry, he asked with concern:

"Brother Yang hurried on the road in such a hurry, did something happen?"

Yang Zhi sighed: "Something happened indeed."

"Can I help?"

The two are still good friends no matter what, and they will also be business partners who will cooperate for a long time in the future. Ji Shuisheng can't just sit idly by and always have to help.

"Brother Ji is busy with things, let's solve it ourselves!"

Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment. He didn't ask Ji Shuisheng to help. Mocheng cannot do without Shuisheng, so it's better not to involve him.

Ji Shuisheng saw that Yang Zhi was embarrassed to call him, so he said:
"Brother Yang, you are welcome, maybe I can help you!"

"It's not me, it's something happened to Master Su's family."
