Chapter 98 There is something wrong with the gold and silver
The group climbed over mountains and crossed numerous peaks, and finally saw the gate of the bandit village.

"It's right here." The only person Liu Yuan spared alive was named Li Si, and it was because of his fear of death that he confessed everything.

As if they had expected them to come back, a lot of people had gathered at the door, each holding a knife and looking ferocious.

Liu Yuan whispered to the back, "Two little brats, follow me closely and don't run around. Do you hear me?"

"Okay, weird uncle~"

When the word "weird uncle" came out, Liu Yuan felt so angry that his teeth itched. He secretly made a decision in his heart that when he returned, he would correct the way he addressed the little princess, no matter what means of coercion or inducement he used.

The village here is called Dafengzhai. As for why it is called this way, it is said that the boss was blown here by a strong wind, so he got this name.

If Liu Yuan were to say, if a village blown by a strong wind is called Dafengzhai, would it be called Dapengzhai if it is blown by a shed?

Tacky!

The leader was the boss of Dafengzhai, the legendary figure who was blown over by the strong wind.

I thought he was a burly and strong man, but he turned out to be a weak scholar. I guess he had less than 20 pounds of flesh on his body. No wonder he was blown away by the strong wind.

The weak scholar was named "Ning Jiang". He stood out from the crowd in both appearance and figure. For such a person to build such a large stockade and manage these desperate criminals, it was probably not as simple as it seemed.

"Master Ning, nice to meet you." Although he came here to carry treasures, Liu Yuan still observed all the necessary etiquette.

Ning Jiang was dressed in white, holding a folding fan, looking like a gentleman, with a warm smile on his face. He bowed and said, "Excuse me, generals. This time it was my fault in the first place. Fortunately, the two generals did not blame me and came in person. I am very grateful."

Liu Yuan exchanged a few more pleasantries with the other party, and the two sides agreed to go and see the treasure first.

The people from Dafeng Village quietly surrounded the four of them in a circle. Xiao Mingxuan held Xihe's hand with one hand, while also paying attention to the surrounding situation.

The four were welcomed into a remote courtyard. Just the dozen steps they took were already guarded by four levels of soldiers.

"There are so many people here. It seems that Master Ning attaches great importance to these things." Liu Yuan asked casually.

Ning Jiang laughed it off and said respectfully, "After all, the number is huge, so it's better to be careful."

Liu Yuan smiled and said nothing more.

"This is it."

Several people stood at the door. Ning Jiang stepped forward and said, "Open the door!"

"Yes!"

The door swung open, stirring up a cloud of dust. There were several large boxes inside. Every time one was opened, the room became brighter.

Xihe was lying on the edge of a box, staring at a box of gold with envy.

Who would understand? Although Concubine Xian gave Xihe a few boxes of gold to play with, they were the size of stones, not as big as this one!

Xihe could no longer hide her greed for money, and stretched out her little hand eagerly, wanting to touch the big piece of gold.

Unexpectedly, just when the hand was about to touch the gold, it was blocked by another big hand.

As soon as the little girl looked up, she met Ning Jiang's smiling eyes.

"Can't touch it?" Ning Jiang was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: "It's not that you can't touch it, but this gold has been stored for too long, and it is probably stained with a lot of dust. It's better to wait for someone to wipe off the dust before playing with it, so as not to dirty your hands."

Ning Jiang's words made sense, so Xihe had no choice but to put down her hand and retreat into Xiao Mingxuan's arms, "Okay, then I won't touch you~"

Ning Jiang nodded with a smile.

Not allowing him to move, Liu Yuan roughly counted the number, exchanged a glance with Xu Qingcheng, then turned to Ning Jiang and said, "The number is fine. If the boss doesn't mind, we'll notify someone to come and lift it."

"Okay, okay." Ning Jiang opened his folding fan and covered half of his face. "It's just that the terrain of Yuanfeng Mountain is complicated. It takes a lot of effort to get up. Why don't you take a rest here for a while? I will ask someone to prepare good wine and food to entertain you as a distinguished guest. It's our token of appreciation."

"No need to go to so much trouble. Master Ning, you are too polite." Xu Qingcheng leaned against the iron pillar beside him and said lightly.

"It's not a bother, it's my duty. I hope you can give me a favor?"

Ning Jiang's words were polite, but left no room for refusal.

Xu Qingcheng hated socializing the most. He opened his mouth to refuse, but Liu Yuan held him back tightly.

After a moment, Liu Yuan chuckled and walked out nonchalantly, "Then it's Master Lao Ning."

"No, no, please come in." Seeing that the other party agreed, the smile on Ning Jiang's face became more obvious.

Ning Jiang was about to catch up, but just as he took a step, he found that the hem of his clothes was pulled.

He lowered his head and looked at Shan Xihe with a slightly pleading look.

"Uncle, where can you find it here... I want..." The little girl tugged at the hem of her skirt, her face flushed, and she looked extremely shy.

Ning Jiang knew it almost subconsciously, and then smiled knowingly, "Yes, I'll send someone to take you there."

"No need." Xiao Mingxuan stepped forward, pulled the little girl back, and said, "The boss just needs to tell us where it is, and I will go with her."

Ning Jiang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the two children as tall as garlic sprouts and couldn't help laughing. "That's fine, go out from here, turn left, and keep going until you reach the end. But don't stay too long, go to the main hall early, uncle has prepared delicious food for you."

"Okay, uncle, you are such a nice person." Xihe smiled sweetly at the other party, with a simple and ignorant tone.

Liu Yuan also happened to turn his head. He didn't say anything, but just reminded her, "Take care of your sister. She's too naughty. Don't let her fall."

Xiao Mingxuan looked up and met Liu Yuan Rumo's eyes, and nodded slightly, "Got it."

"Go."

Ning Jiang looked at the two children and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

You are really going backwards as you grow older. They are just two kids. What big waves can they make?

"Little brother~I..." Xihe had just opened her mouth when Xiao Mingxuan pinched her palm lightly.

"I know what you want to say. Don't be anxious. Take two more steps forward." Xiao Mingxuan pretended to be calm and walked forward with Xihe. Suddenly, he turned around and glanced at Liu Yuan in the opposite direction.

There is no reason why Liu Yuan couldn't see what they could see.

Ning Jiang was not on guard against the two unweaned cubs and did not send anyone to follow them. When they reached a remote place, the two of them stopped.

After making sure that there was no one around, Xihe whispered, "Little brother, there seems to be something wrong with the gold and silver."
