Jinghong Tower

So Feng Xueying knew from the beginning that she was going to abduct him deep into the mountains?

Just like that, or agree to follow her?

This courage, this courage, this determination to face death as if it were his own, is indeed the person she likes.

So He Ran's praises came in like a torrent of river water. Feng Xieying thought she had some strength, but she was almost led into the bottomless trench.

So is this Master He so good at deceiving people?

He Ran looked at his legs. You are not lame yet, which means my skill is not enough.

"Mr. Feng, where is your elder companion now? Do you want to take it with you?"

According to He Ran's many years of experience, when a person goes to a strange place, his eyes will darken. If he is too relaxed, then even a person with a strong heart will have random thoughts. Random thoughts are fine, but if there is no familiar and trusted person around, If he is unable to talk about it, then these random thoughts will accumulate in his heart, and they will deteriorate, worsen, and affect his emotions. What will follow is regret and escape.

The last time He Ran visited the palace at night, she saw the book boy next to Feng Xueying. From the conversation between the master and the servant, we could know that he was someone Feng Xueying trusted.

But for some reason, Feng Xueying didn't take him to Mount Wutai.

Feng Jieying's answer surprised He Ran.

"I used to have a long-term follower who had been with me for more than ten years, but when I was in Fenzhou, he passed away. It was because of me that he died of serious injuries."

Feng Xueying's voice was light. He Ran had only heard about Fenzhou and his party before. Feng Xueying was seriously injured, but he had forgotten that behind every serious injury or death of a big shot, there would be more deaths of little people.

Let’s talk about the death of Princess Jin. The original owner of He Ran’s body was that unknown little person.

For example, when Cai Fanying died recently, He Ran beheaded Cai Fanying, and Cai Jie killed all Cai Fanying's guards and followers.

Feng Xueying sighed and stopped talking.

The carriage traveled for another day, and they met up with twenty people sent by Xinggu. The leader of these twenty people was named He Yu, who was also from Hejia Village. He came to Jin when he was thirteen years old. In the past ten years, he has Wandering around Jin is a living map of Jin, so he was sent by Xinggu to escort Feng Xueying back to Qingcang Mountain.

He Ran told He Yu a few words, then said goodbye to Feng Xieying, and asked Xiaoli to follow He Yu and the others back first, while she took Liu Xia, the four of them, and Tang Yu to Jinyang.

The day she arrived in Jinyang happened to be the day she and the black girl agreed.

The black girl came to Jinghong Tower early in the morning, but she didn't go in. The people who came in and out of Jinghong Tower were all the ladies, Xiaojia Biyu, who looked at him as if he was a savage from the wilderness.

Obviously what he is wearing is not bad. What a pretty floral dress!

So it would be more suitable for him to sit on the steps in front of Jinghong Tower.

But the black girl forgot that although his temperament after dressing up as a woman seemed to come from the wild, he was still dressed like a girl. As soon as he sat down on the steps with his majesty, the eyes of those people who looked at him were no longer interested. It's just like looking at a savage, more like looking at a madman. Some girls even have the courage to pass by him.

He Ran saw him from a distance and originally wanted to go over and say hello, but remembered that Tang Yu was still around. Forget it, it was better not to let Tang Yu know that the big hero in the eyes of their siblings was the wild girl in front of them.

Liuxia went over and asked Hei Mei to say a few words. Hei Mei was overjoyed and went to Zhangjia's old shop without saying anything. In any case, He Ran was quite interesting and knew that Zhangjia's old shop was his home.

Seeing that the great god had finally left, He Ran took Tang Yu into Jinghong Tower.

When he saw Aunt Xing, He Ran asked her to find a reliable painter. Unexpectedly, Aunt Xing immediately called a young girl. The girl’s name is He Yamin and she is seventeen years old.

Hearing the surname He, He Ran knew that this was either a child from Hejiacun or an orphan adopted by Xiaokui.

After asking, it turned out that He Yamin was indeed from Shunde Mansion. She was Xiaokui's god-granddaughter.

Xinggu said: "This child has a talent for painting since he was a child. After coming to my place, he has helped me draw portraits several times, but most of the time, he can only draw flowers in the embroidery workshop. My little temple I feel wronged to her."

He Ran heard the overtone of Xinggu's words, which was that she wanted to find a better place for He Yamin.

"Now we are lacking all kinds of talents. Let her draw a portrait for me to see."

Tang Yu dictated, and He Yamin wrote, and drew five or six portraits in succession. Tang Yu selected the one that most resembled a winter melon, and was so excited that he brought it to He Ran: "Master, look, this is a winter melon!"

Next, He Yamin made multiple copies of this portrait, and Xinggu handed it to the people below.

However, He Ran still saw worry in Xinggu's eyes. She pulled Xinggu into the next room and asked, "What are you worried about?"

Xinggu sighed: "Master, I have come into contact with many kidnappers in the past few years. At Donggua's age and as a boy, it is difficult for kidnappers to get rid of them. In addition, he is a son of a good family. If he sells normally, he will easily get into trouble. In this way In most cases, they were sold to the mines to work as coolies."

Xinggu was right, those people didn't originally want to kidnap Winter Melon. What they wanted to capture was the young and beautiful Tang Yu, and Winter Melon was just there by the way.

He Ran thought of Dong Gua's small body. She was afraid that she would die soon after being sold to the mines.

"Let people focus on searching in the coal mines around Fenzhou."

When the dynasty was first established, many mines were in the hands of aristocratic families and big merchants. When the dynasty was first established, it still had to rely on these aristocratic families and big merchants. It was impossible to have all the mines owned by the court. If you wanted to make the mines state-owned, you could only You can buy it with real money, but even if you buy it, conflicts will occur in some places. The ministers of the DPRK and China wrote letters one after another, scolding the imperial court for buying the mines, and the imperial court had to put aside the matters of other mines except salt and iron.

Salt and iron were still controlled by the imperial court.

As for coal mines and other mines, some are government mines, but most are private mines.

There are now three coal mines in Fenzhou area, all of which are private mines. The two largest ones belong to the Cai family, and the smaller one belongs to the King of Jin.

He Ran did not hide it from Tang Yu and told her that Winter Melon might be in the coal mine. Tang Yu's tears fell down: "He is still so young."

He Ran patted her shoulder, but did not comfort her. Instead, he asked, "I'm going to see your brother-in-law, will you go with me?"

Tang Yu shook her head. She was not familiar with Brother Yue and had not even spoken to her. Regarding Brother Yue, she mostly heard from Dong Gua.

He Ran guessed that she was not in the mood to meet anyone now. Of course, He Ran was also sure that Brother Yue didn't want to meet the people of Zhoujiapu as a black girl, so it would be better if Tang Yu didn't go.

However, when he went to see the black girl, He Ran still brought a picture of winter melon.
