Chapter 88 She Dared to Show Up Openly

At this time, Xie Zhizhi didn't know that someone was coming at the foot of the mountain.

I and the others quickly descended the mountain, holding onto the big trees by the roadside.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Xu Ji pointed to a house on the left below with a flat roof and no signs of damage. He asked her respectfully, "Miss, that house is so strange. It's not damaged at all."

She followed the direction he pointed and found that it was her house. She smiled and said, "Not surprising, that's my house."

"Ah?" Xu Ji and the others didn't find it strange anymore. This made sense for what the young lady said about a safe place. A house that couldn't be destroyed even by hail must be safe.

"Where did you find that reflective panel on the roof? It can actually block hail! It's amazing."

She turned around and glanced at Wang Xi who asked the question with her bright and deep eyes. From the expression on his face, she could tell that he was just asking a simple question.

She looked at the past second.

Xu Ji patted Wang Xi's shoulder, his face anxious, and said quickly: "Is it our place to ask about the young lady's affairs?"

Wang Xi scratched his head, not realizing how inappropriate it was for him to ask this question. He looked at her respectfully and said sincerely, "It's my fault. I have no second thoughts. I just spoke without thinking..."

"It's okay. In the future, houses will be built with materials like this. As for where it came from..." She stood on the stone steps at the edge of the mountain, smiling, but her pause left countless suspense. "Maybe I'll have a chance to know in the future?"

The two of them kept silent, with curiosity and expectation as well as a little admiration in their hearts. Such a young lady made them feel like they were seeing the elegance of a general.

Wang Xi's face turned red because of the question just now. Like a simple and honest big bear, he said hesitantly, trying to regain the lady's trust: "Since the lady has seen the house, we can go back by ourselves."

Xie Zhizhi was about to agree, but when he stood on the mountainside, he saw a lot of people walking down the mountain without stopping.

"No hurry, let's see what those people want to do."

After her reminder, Xu Ji, Wang Xi and the others behind them noticed the person appearing below.

"How come there are suddenly more than 200 people here?"

At first glance, it looked like they had suddenly surged in from the imperial city.

Wang Xi stuck his head out and stared at the crowd approaching the mountain. He saw a man he didn't know well. "I know the subordinate in the tattered clothes with holes in them! His previous identity was the leader of the Beggar Gang in the east of the city. The day before yesterday, when we were looking for supplies, he saw that there were too many of us and hid away. Is he following us?"

After hearing what they said, Xie Zhizhi suddenly thought that it was probably the loud noise of the explosion that attracted them.

We went down the mountain quickly.

Jinglan and Jingzhe in the room knew what the young lady was doing on the top of the mountain, so when they found the people at the foot of the mountain, and then saw the young lady coming down the mountain, they flew over the mountain and met up with the young lady.

It was freezing cold, and at the foot of the mountain there were more than two hundred people wandering around, each huddled in a group, whispering to one another and planning something.

They looked up, stood on tiptoe, and looked up through the bare forest at the mountainside that had suddenly become shorter. They wanted to go up the mountain, but were afraid of some danger.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the height of the entire mountain has decreased by at least one-third.

Everyone was talking quietly.

"I've already counted! It rang twice in total!"

"There must be some treasure! The world has changed now, and there are natural disasters every day. Since it rang twice, could it be two treasures that have descended?"

"Why don't you go up and take a look?"

"Why don't you go?"

"There seems to be a house there. I wonder whose house it is."

"I'm not going. I'm just here to take a look."

"There's a treasure. How strong are you now? Can you steal it?"

No matter how much everyone wanted to go up the mountain, they didn't have the courage, so they just gathered at the foot of the mountain and didn't dare to go up.

Until, I saw a group of people walking down the mountain path gracefully.

"Look, someone is coming down the mountain!" a young man shouted in the crowd, and everyone's attention was immediately focused on the slope going down the mountain.

Above, Xie Zhizhi brought Jinglan and Jingzhe, and behind them were the people from the General's Mansion.

Before she came down, someone called out her name.

"Xie Zhizhi? A guard at the General's Mansion?" A voice filled with surprise and malice.

The two hundred or so people below exclaimed in unison, as if they couldn't believe that the person who had escaped a few days ago dared to show up so openly.

"Who are you?" She stood on the three-meter-high steps, stopped and did not go any further, looking down at them, her eyes scanning the expressions of shock, disgust, fear, scrutiny, and calculation on their faces, sigh.
