Shen Jia taught Shen Hao how to use his inner strength to listen to his surroundings. Seeing that he had completely mastered the essence of it, she raised her head and saw Xiao Yichen looking at her with resentment. She was a little confused: "Achen, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiao Yichen stepped forward and took her hand, secretly glared at Shen Hao, and said with a smile: "No, let's go and see who are the people talking now!"

"Okay!" Shen Jiani glanced at him without exposing his hypocrisy.

Shen Hao rolled his eyes secretly. Don’t think he doesn’t know that Brother Xiao is jealous.

Ling Yunsu had a gloating smile in his eyes as he followed them silently.

The four of them went looking for the source of the sound.

The voice came from the other side of the mountain. If they wanted to find the person who was speaking, they had to climb over the snow-capped mountain in front of them.

The four of them no longer hesitated and used their lightness skills to fly to the top of the mountain.

The altitude on the mountain is too high and the oxygen is thin. If it weren't for their strong internal strength, it would be extremely difficult for them to adapt.

Looking into the distance, they did not see the person they were looking for, but there was a huge stone cave on the opposite side of the mountain, which was similar in shape to the cave on the deerskin picture.

The four of them only stayed for a moment, then used their lightness skills to reach the entrance of the cave, and a cool breath rushed towards them.

At this time, voices were heard from the other side of the cave. The four people immediately stopped and stood at the entrance of the cave, listening to their conversation quietly.

On the other side of the cave, a tall, ferocious middle-aged man was looking at the others with displeasure: "Hurry up, or I'll beat you if you keep dawdling."

A dark-skinned man rubbed his hands and said, "Boss, my hands are all covered with frostbite. I really can't dig anymore. Can you let me rest for a while?"

The eldest glared at the dark-skinned man and said, "Rest? Do you think I don't want to? The master wrote to say that he gave the deerskin map to the third prince of Tatar the other day. If we don't dig a little more, there will be nothing left."

Another thin man came over and asked, "Why did the master give the deerskin map to the third prince of Tatar?"

The eldest brother's face was uncertain: "It's because the weapons of the Crown Prince and the Protector of the Country Princess are too powerful. The Third Prince of Tatar used them to control the master, so the master had no choice but to give him the deerskin map."

A middle-aged man with fair skin sighed: "Alas! It is a pity that the deerskin map that the master worked so hard to obtain was handed over to the Tatars just like that!"

"Who says it's not true? We finally found the gold mine according to the deerskin map, but now we have to watch it go into the pockets of the Tatars. It's hard to accept that."

The eldest brother glanced at the brothers present and said, "What can we do if we are unwilling? The master needs the help of the Tatars to conquer the northern border, so we can only endure it! But it is very cold and snowy now. Even if the third prince of Tatar gets the deerskin map, he won't be able to find this place so quickly. We still have a lot of time. This is gold. We can dig as much as we can. It is much better than the robbery we did in the Black Wind Village before."

"That's true. This gold is of good quality. If you take one piece out, it will be worth a lot of money. You don't have to risk your life, and you don't have to worry about being caught by soldiers and thrown in jail."

"It's a pity that these good days will soon be gone."

"Just be content! We have been digging gold here for half a year. Apart from the big gold that we handed over to our master, you can collect all the small gold pieces. Who wouldn't make a lot of money?"

"Having said that, who would complain about having too much money?"

"If you want to make gold, then work hard. What's the point of complaining about frostbite all day long?"

"Why don't we find more people to help us mine gold, so that we can bring back more gold. With gold as a backing, the master will have a better chance of success in the future."

"No. The Crown Prince and the Protector of the Country Princess are very shrewd. If they find out, it will affect the master's cause and all the previous efforts will be wasted." "Didn't we build a small road leading directly to Mocheng? We can find someone from Mocheng!"

"That won't work either. The master has his own plans. If we disrupt his original plan because of our own initiative, it will be more trouble than it's worth. You guys should stop thinking about those things and work quickly. If you keep making noise, I won't be polite to you."

Then, there was the sound of 'ping pong pong'.

Shen Jia and the other three looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

Judging from the information in their conversation, the address described on the deerskin map is on the other side of the cave.

There is no treasure there, but a gold mine.

"Achen, haven't you noticed that there is a gold mine over there before?" Shen Jia asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yichen shook his head and pointed to the mountain path they had just walked on: "This mountain is the highest peak in the Liangshan Mountain Range. It is covered with snow all year round. It is said that there are blind bears, lynxes, and wild wolves on the mountain. Therefore, every time we go into the mountains, we will avoid this place."

Shen Jia nodded, "Yes, even you don't dare to walk this mountain, so others are even more afraid. That's why the gold mine has not been discovered. Jiang Shoufu has recruited many people from the underworld, so it's not surprising that he found the deerskin map and the gold mine."

Then she remembered that there was a huge gold mine in this area in her previous life, which could dig hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. Perhaps in a different time and space, there was also a large gold mine in the same place, just like the gold mine in Lingnan.

"Yes! Prime Minister Jiang is a shrewd and calculating man. It's a pity that Xiao Hongbin is unlucky, otherwise he would have succeeded long ago." Xiao Yichen's tone was sour. They had been digging for gold for half a year, so the amount must be considerable. If it were used for people's livelihood, it would solve many problems.

Shen Hao was a little unconvinced: "Didn't those people say that the gold mine was huge? Why don't we just grab it?"

Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly: "We have to rob it for sure, as for how to rob it, we have to watch it and then make a plan."

Shen Jia was in a state of excitement. "Let's go and see how big the gold mine is!"

Xiao Yichen walked up to her, took her hand, and strode in.

The cave was deep and dark, so Shen Jia took out a night-shining pearl from his pocket to illuminate the way.

This cave is broad and grand, about thirty meters wide and twenty meters high. The cave is deep, the stone walls are flat, and the ground is littered with bones of various animals, which is creepy to look at.

However, all four of them were brave people and only felt a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but they adjusted themselves quickly.

The four of them didn't say anything, they walked slowly, and it took them about two hundred meters to walk out of the cave.

What came into their eyes was a broad valley, surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north. At the bottom of the valley was an open and flat grassland. A narrow ravine ran through the entire grassland. Two wooden houses were built on the edge of the grassland.

There were more than a dozen people on the mountain east of the valley. Some of them were burning wood on the ground, probably to soften the frozen ground, while others were digging hard with pickaxes.

Shen Jia and the other three did not say anything. They stood in a position with good visibility and some obstructions, and observed them quietly.

After about a cup of tea, they saw the people on the other side shouting excitedly: "We've made a fortune, we've made a fortune."

Shen Jia and the other three looked over and saw one of them holding a piece of dog-head gold in the shape of a lying lion, more than one foot long and half a foot wide. The dazzling golden light almost blinded their eyes.

The four of them looked at each other, unable to hide the joy in their eyes. (End of this chapter)
