After learning from Cheap Dad that so many people were looking for gold mines, Daohua felt a little uneasy. During this period, Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers had not returned home for several days, and she became increasingly anxious.

.

It's also her fault that she didn't think carefully about the problem. She only thought about getting a reward for finding the entrance to the gold mine. She never thought about how many people's interests a gold mine would involve.

The Jiang family was the most powerful relative in the dynasty, with one family and two queens; Prince Duan was the late emperor’s favorite prince, and was involved in the secret of the succession to the throne.

These forces are the hegemons at the top of the food chain in this era. It is better for them to stay away from the things they are eyeing, so as not to become cannon fodder in their confrontation.

After figuring this out, Daohua became even more anxious to see Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao. After two days, they still didn't return, so she sent Qin Xiaoliu to deliver a letter to Xiao Yeyang's residence in the city.

But after waiting for two days, there was no accurate reply.

Seeing this, Daohua couldn't sit still. After thinking about it, she quickly went to the old lady's yard. On the pretext of sending winter clothes and charcoal fire to her master and Granny Gu, she went to Taohua Village again.

After the previous falcon died, Xiao Yeyang placed another one there so that the falcon could directly find Xiao Yeyang's.

On the boat, because the weather was getting colder, Daohua did not dare to stay on the deck for long. Just as she was about to return to the cabin, she saw three people covered in blood suddenly rushed out from the river bank.

"Ah~"

Wang Maner couldn't hold it back and screamed: "Girl, it's that Mr. Wu."

Daohua also recognized him. One of them was Mr. Wu who was with Mr. Wu last time. He was hesitating whether to save others. At this time, seven or eight men in black with swords in their hands rushed out from the shore.

"Isn't it?"

Is her luck too bad?

The color on Daohua's face instantly disappeared. Different from the previous hesitation, she quickly said to Qin Xiaoliu: "Brother Xiaoliu, bring the boat closer to the shore. Remember, don't get too close, and don't let anyone get on."

Come on the boat."

If there were only Mr. Wu and the other three, she could still pretend not to know and leave directly. Anyway, he was an official of the imperial court. Even if she didn't save him, he would at most be classified as a non-social person and would not do anything drastic.

But now there are men in black with unknown identities. Those men in black dare to kill even the court officials. In order to avoid the leakage of the matter, they will definitely kill and silence them afterwards.

For the sake of her life, she must help Master Wu and the others deal with those men in black.

Qin Xiaoliu did not hesitate and hurriedly went to take control of the boat in person. There was a lot of sweat on his forehead. They had fought with people when running darts in the past, but compared with those people on the shore who saw blood, they were really small.

Make a fuss.

Both parties on the shore noticed the boat in the river, but they couldn't move away now, and the boat was still some distance away from the shore, so they ignored it.

However, they ignored it and the people on the boat took action.

"Bang bang bang!"

After the people on the river bank entered the range of the slingshot, the rice flowers continued to launch pills onto the bank one after another.

The men in black were very alert. When the pills were shot, they all thought they were hidden weapons and avoided them. Then when they saw the pills exploded and the scent of medicine filled the air, they immediately held their breath tightly.

Wu Jingyi knew that he was addicted to pills, so he quickly motioned to his two men to hold their breath, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.

This move can't deal with King Duan's dead soldiers. They fell into this move last time, firstly because of their carelessness, and secondly because Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai lowered their vigilance.

But these dead soldiers have been wandering on the edge of life and death all year round, and they are even more cautious when fighting. Stunning them with drugs will probably not be effective.

Indeed, as Wu Jingyi thought, none of the people in black were affected by the drug.

Seeing that the people on the boat dared to meddle in their own business, the men in black immediately sent two men to kill the boat.

However, before running a few steps, the two men in black stopped and started scratching all over their bodies with funny looks.

"What are you doing?"

The leader of the man in black roared angrily, and before he finished speaking, he began to squirm, and the itching on his body made him unable to even hold the sword in his hand.

"Damn!"

The man in black couldn't help but curse.

They thought they were drugged, and thought they would be fine if they closed their breathing, but who knew, it was not the case at all.

Just as he was about to tell his men to retreat, Wu Jingyi and three others came to kill him.

On the boat, Daohua felt relieved when she saw that the man in black had been attacked. She quickly said to Qin Xiaoliu: "Set the boat." After saying that, she entered the cabin without looking back.

In the cabin, Daohua sat by the window, watching the last man in black fall under the swords of Wu Jingyi and three others, and quickly lowered the curtains.

"Girl, let's have a cup of tea!"

Wang Maner has been escorting with his father since he was a child. Although he has never seen anything so bloody, his psychological quality has been developed long ago. Except for the initial fear, he quickly calmed down.

Seeing that Daohua's face was still pale, he carefully stepped forward and poured her a cup of tea.

Daohua reached out to take it, but found that her hands were shaking violently. She immediately retracted her hand and said a little stiffly: "I don't want to drink."

Wang Maner silently put down the teacup.

After a while, Daohua asked: "Who are the people coming out today?"

Wang Maner immediately reported the name of the incoming person.

Daohua clasped her hands tightly and was silent for a moment: "Let Brother Liu tell me that today's events have been forgotten. Don't tell anyone. Anyone who wants to tell us will sell it directly."

Wang Man'er nodded: "Yes."

After a while, Peach Blossom Village arrived.

After getting off the boat, Daohua quickly ran up the mountain.

Gu Jian was tidying up the vegetable plot in the courtyard. When she saw the rice flowers, she was overjoyed at first, and her face turned pale. She immediately put down the hoe, walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you girl?"

Seeing Gu Jian, Daohua calmed down. Thinking that her master had once knocked away a guard with a stick, she couldn't help but tell her what she had just encountered.

After hearing this, Gu Jian's face changed. Seeing that Daohua seemed to be frightened, he immediately comforted him: "Girl, you did the right thing. Okay, it's okay. The weather has turned cold these days, and my sister has coughed badly again.

Please help me go see her."

Daohua's attention was diverted: "Is mother-in-law okay?"

Gu Jian: "I coughed for a long time last night, and I'm still sleeping with you now. You came just in time. Go to the kitchen and finish cooking rock sugar and snow pear stew for my sister."

Daohua nodded, and first went to the room to look at Grandma Gu. When she saw that she was still asleep, she turned and went to the kitchen.

When Gu Jian saw Daohua enter the kitchen, he quickly walked out of Taohua Temple.

After Daohua prepared the rock sugar snow pears and fed them to Grandma Gu, Gu Jian came back with Wu Jingyi and the others.

Wu Jingyi was seriously injured and had already passed out. The other two were also seriously injured and were arranged by Gu Jian to stay in Xiao Yeyang's room.

"Master, how did you bring the three of them back?"

Looking at the worried disciple, Gu Jian smiled: "Don't worry, my master has erased all traces on the road. No one will find this place."

Hearing this, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing how funny she was, Gu Jian lamented his little apprentice's luck: "If they hadn't met you this time, they would have died."

Daohua asked doubtfully: "Aren't they the emperor's spies? Who dares to kill them?"

Gu Jian sneered: "Not everyone in this world listens to the emperor's words."

......

Royal Palace.

Renshou Palace.

The Queen Mother looked at Duke Cheng'en in front of her with a pale face, and said sadly: "Brother is confused, is the gold mine allowed by the Jiang family? Mining the gold mine privately is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan."

Duke Cheng'en frowned and said: "Queen Mother, please calm down. There is nothing I can do about it. You have seen the Emperor's attitude toward the Jiang family over the years. With that gold mine, I just want to prepare a way out for the Jiang family.

”

The Queen Mother rubbed her swollen forehead: "Brother wants to leave a way out for the Jiang family. I don't care, but it can't be a gold mine. There is no airtight wall in the world. Once the Jiang family's secret mining of gold is exposed, it will mean that

The knife was handed directly to the emperor."

"As long as I am alive, the emperor will not dare to touch the Jiang family for the sake of his reputation. But if the Jiang family does something disobedient, the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty will not be able to save the Jiang family."

Cheng'en Gong showed hesitation: "That is a gold mine. If the Jiang family gets it, it can guarantee their wealth for generations."

The Queen Mother sternly said: "No matter how great wealth you are, you still have to live to enjoy it!" After saying that, she paused and asked, "How far is the gold mine going?"

Duke Chengen: "Still searching, only confirmed to be in Ningmen Mansion."

The Queen Mother thought for a while: "My brother will go to see the emperor later and tell him that he has a gift for him. But the gift is not ready yet. I will present it to him in person as soon as it is ready."

Duke Cheng'en knew what the Queen Mother meant and was very reluctant to give up.

In order to find gold mines, the Jiang family spent a lot of manpower and financial resources. After finding it, they had to hand it over to the emperor. Thinking about it, they felt at a loss.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother shook her head invisibly and said patiently: "Now that the national treasury is empty and wars continue in northern Xinjiang, if the Jiang family can help the emperor at this time, how can the emperor not remember the love of the Jiang family? Such a big thing
