Chapter 320 The only thing you can do is try to change it

Tao Jin looked at Jing Chunxi's confident expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but there was a hint of imperceptible worry in his eyes.

He knew Jing Chunxi's character well. Although he was brave and decisive, he could sometimes be overconfident and ignore potential dangers. So, he gently reminded him, "If you want to accomplish something big, you must first understand the other person's background and be absolutely sure before taking action.

"People who can stir up trouble in Jiujiang County are not simple people. Did you notice when you entered the city? The city is guarded by soldiers, not ordinary yamen runners."

Jing Chunxi suddenly thought of the soldiers who had come to meet him after he entered Lingnan. Suddenly, something clicked in his mind, and he almost blurted out, "Is your father also very powerful?"

But she quickly swallowed her words back. She was genuinely curious about Tao Jin's background. But Tao Jin had never mentioned it, and she didn't want to intrude on his privacy. She smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "I have people and I've trained two wolves, so those are all helpful."

Tao Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. The little girl had no martial arts skills, but she always managed to save her family from danger.

He didn't expect that she could tame such a ferocious animal as a wolf, but since it was Jing Chunxi, he understood.

She has good medicine and good methods, so it's no surprise that she can even tame a tiger.

After a long pause, he continued, "I've only been here a short time. I wanted to help you check where they hid the porcelain and tea they looted, but the results were unsatisfactory. You'll have to come on your own."

Jing Chunxi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I have a way."

Tao Jin nodded and gave another reminder: "You have to learn to use help. You don't have to do everything yourself. After all, you are all strangers, and anything you do will easily cause others to speculate.

There are so many hungry and homeless people in the city, we can find ways to take advantage of them."

Jing Chunxi nodded again, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Tao Jin gave her the impression of a loving yet strict older brother. She had no reservations about him, but instead, she trusted him completely. Although Tao Jin didn't talk much, every word he offered was sincere and encouraging, and he even thought through everything for her.

Tao Jin felt somewhat relieved to see that Jing Chunxi had listened to his instructions.

He smiled slightly and added, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, so I won't come to say goodbye tomorrow. There's still a long way to go.

I might be staying in Jian'an County for a long time, so I can help you find out about the tea situation there. Regardless of whether things here are resolved or not, you don't need to stay any longer. It's best to come and join me as soon as possible.

If we really can't do it, we can find another way. With me here, Jian'an County will always be safer."

Jing Chunxi nodded again, silently taking note of Tao Jin's words. She knew Tao Jin was a trustworthy person, and she inexplicably felt that she had gained a comrade-in-arms who could fight alongside her and offer advice.

With him in Jian'an County, she can feel more at ease.

Before he knew it, the carriage suddenly stopped. The coachman in front whispered to Tao Jin, "Master, we've arrived."

Jing Chunxi lifted the curtain of the car, but did not get out immediately. Instead, he looked at both sides of the street behind him.

This is a short street.

The horses stopped on a wide, cobblestone street, completely different from the one they had walked yesterday. This street was new, and the shops on both sides must have been recently renovated. Almost every one was open, but few sold actual goods. Most were restaurants, pawnshops, gambling houses, and even brothels, luxurious places for customers to relax and have fun.

The streets, once deserted, were now bustling with carriages and pedestrians. The nobles entering and leaving were all clad in silk and satin, and even the women wore golden and jade hairpins and rings swaying around their heads, necks, and wrists. It was a beautiful scene of peace and prosperity.

Even before nightfall, some shops have already hung up lanterns to welcome customers, showcasing the bright lights, feasting and revelry, prosperity and luxury.

After Jing Chunxi got off the car, he looked up at the building in front of him.

It was a three-story, antique-style restaurant with seven or eight rooms. In the center of the third floor, a large signboard with the three characters "Zui Xiang Lou" written in cursive script shone brightly, attracting great attention.

She suddenly remembered the skinny little beggar she had seen that morning, and also recalled the information her dispatched informants had brought back: the people displaced and starving outside the city, a stark contrast to the prosperous scene before her. She couldn't help but sigh, "The rich feast on wine and meat, while the frozen corpses remain on the streets."

Tao Jin stood beside her, also frowning slightly. He whispered, "The world is like this. Our abilities are limited, and we can't force it. The only thing we can do is try our best to change it."
