【Huh? Huh? Lin Muzhen?! ...

[Holy crap! Lin Muzhen! ***** Ahhh, this celebrity appeared so suddenly!]

Ahhh, my crush!

[Damn name! I was just thinking to myself, "It's only one character different from my idol's name, but I never expected it to be the original owner of this body!!"]

[I suddenly realized, he's using our goddess to save his own family. How clever!]

As expected of ****

Xiao Zhixing raised an eyebrow. Had he just picked up another future celebrity by chance?

Lin Muzhen kowtowed twice more, his face full of gratitude. "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I used you to save my two brothers. If you want to punish me, I will accept it without complaint."

Xiao Zhixing snorted, "Alright, your merit in leading me to this place outweighs your faults, so I won't blame you. First, help me clean up this place."

Looking at him now, he is still a scholar. He went to the prefect's office to seek a job in order to save his brother, and he was risking his life.

He can be considered a person with both courage and wisdom.

Lin Mu was overjoyed and sincerely kowtowed three times, "Thank you, thank you so much for not holding a grudge against me!"

The discovery of the gold and iron deposits was of great importance, so Xiao Zhixing set up camp here for the night.

The rescued laborers were taken out and resettled outside, where they also needed to register.

The imperial court must provide an explanation for this incident, otherwise it will be difficult to reassure the people.

"Young Prince, there's a dungeon over there, and there are people inside."

Xiao Dongdao.

When Xiao Zhixing went over to take a look, he found that the dungeon was actually made with a huge stone weighing thousands of pounds as the door, with only a small opening for ventilation and food to pass through.

The live stream room has been seen through.

Is this person still alive?

What a huge giant!

Indeed, this person is this big even lying down; they must be incredibly tall standing up!

Uh, guys, I suddenly thought of a celebrity!

Yes, yes, I thought of that too...

So everyone looked at the camera expectantly.

Xiao Zhixing studied it for a while, then stepped on an inconspicuous protrusion at the doorway.

Click, click...

The stone gate slowly rose.

"I will not give in."

The giant hummed coldly, his back to the door, motionless.

Xiao Zhixing fanned himself away from the unpleasant smell. "You're free now. Come out."

The giant was startled, then suddenly stood up and turned his head. The light was so bright that people instinctively squinted.

Xiao Zhixing turned and left.

Xiao Dong shouted inside, "Brave warrior, you can come out now."

The giant brushed aside his disheveled hair and discovered that the stone door was indeed not closed.

Xiao Zhixing came out and sat down in front of the tent, his mind constantly connected with Bai Feng.

She meticulously recorded all the places the two men in gray had visited.

Unfortunately, not long after, the other party jumped into a tributary of the Beidu River and could no longer be tracked.

Bai Feng cursed, "So cautious."

Xiao Zhixing pondered deeply.

The gunpowder reminded me of Shi Erbao and the Emperor System.

It's no wonder she made that associations; the Emperor System, being such a cold-blooded thing, is truly lawless.

She had previously suspected that the Emperor System definitely had more than just Shi Erbao's power.

So, is this gray-clad man one of its people?

It seems she needs to meet with that Shi Erbao and hopefully get something out of him.

Thump, thump thump.

The sound was like a mountain moving.

The giant was about two meters tall, with a broad back, thick waist, and wide, bulging eyes and mouth.

He...she walked directly to a spot not far from Xiao Zhixing, slowly squatted down, and stared at her with wide, bull-like eyes.

Its head, so big, looked rather pitiful squatting there.

Xiao Zhixing chuckled, "Bai Mei, give her something to eat."

This is actually a girl with a female body and male appearance.

Bai Mei nodded and handed her some dry food and water.

The giant girl grinned, "Th-thank you."

Then he took the dry rations and quickly finished what would normally be two meals, and then gulped down a jug of water.

She simply sat down on the ground and mumbled, "They have a leader whose surname is Luo."

"Lo? Are there any other characteristics?"

The giant pondered, "He has a strange smell about him."

Xiao Zhixing glanced at Bai Mei.

Bai Mei asked, "Like the soup of pickled fish, which has been spoiled after being left overnight with added bean water?"

The giant's eyes brightened slightly. "Yes, yes, that's it."

Xiao Zhixing covered her forehead. Why did it remind her so much of douzhi (fermented mung bean juice)?

"Thank you for the tip," she said, expressing her gratitude.

"No need, I should thank you." The giant chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "Otherwise, I would have been killed by them sooner or later."

Xiao Zhixing was curious about why she was being kept in solitary confinement, so he asked.

The giant grimaced. “One of my brothers went missing, so I came looking for him and ended up here. They saw how strong I was and wanted me to work for them, but I refused. So they locked me up and tried to force me to submit.”

"You haven't found your brother?"

"No, my brother is just as conspicuous as me."

Xiao Zhixing sized her up. "What is your surname, young lady?"

The giant touched his nose. "My name is Shi Jiaowu."

"My name is Xiao Zhixing."

[Shi! Jiao! Wu!! It really is her!]

[Ahhhh, someone on par with A Bao has appeared!!]

[Get out of the way, everyone! This is my goddess!!]

[Descendants of the Shi family pay homage to their ancestors!]

[Holy crap, a family of giants?!]

What are you surprised about? All the descendants of famous people ahead of us have come to pay homage to their ancestors.

Xiao Zhixing asked with a smile, "How strong are you?"

Shi Jiaowu scratched his head, glanced around, and got up to walk to a two-meter-high boulder.

Judging by its weight, it weighed a ton, but she lifted it up with ease.

The soldiers watching from the sidelines were all stunned.

Xiao Zhixing clapped his hands, stood up and walked over, raising his fist at her, "If you have nowhere else to go, would you be willing to come with me?"
