Chapter 375 Gold Discovery
Because the location of the gold mine is very secret, they need a base area, one is to purchase food and supply mines, and the other is to buy miners, so they kidnapped all the villagers in Dinglizhuang into the mountain, and later took Dinglizhuang. The house and the land were bought from the government, and the land was leased to the nearby villagers to plant, and all the harvested grain was arranged to be sent to the mountains.

But mining is very tiring, and the death rate of miners is particularly high, so they can only keep buying people. Anyway, in places like border gates, buying a family is only a matter of a few taels of silver. Mine, do not care about spending a few taels of silver.

Everything was originally very simple, but 13 years ago when the Canglan Dynasty began to build the city wall, all the monarchs and ministers of Beichen Kingdom were in a hurry, so they launched a war. No one thought that Beichen Kingdom was bound to win a war. But lost.

The Canglan Dynasty continued to build the city wall of thousands of miles, and everything at the border was rebuilt. When those strong laborers learned that there was work at the border, they all ran to the border to work. It became very difficult for them to buy people.As time went by, they found that it became more and more difficult to do things, so they had to go out and kidnap people, and then sent them into the mountains to do mines.

Later, because of the thousands of miles of city wall, the passage for them to transport gold was also blocked, so the mine had to hand over the gold to them. They opened a shop in Liaocheng as merchants from Beichen Kingdom through normal channels, and regularly delivered gold to them. The gold was sent to Liaocheng, and it was transported out of the customs for business reasons.

The owner of Sujiazhuang is named Su Bole. Su Bole has an older brother named Su Boxiong who lives in the mine all year round. The two brothers are the managers of the gold mine. They are said to be very skilled in martial arts.

And the gold mine is in Yuluo Mountain, about three days away from here.

Xuan Yu simply ordered the two men who were willing to confess to be taken back to his guest room, interrogated them several times with Shen Luo, and then called out with a serious expression, "Come here!"

Several guards came in and lined up to wait for orders.

Xuan Yu first sent someone to take the two men who confessed to him down, and then he said: "You guys dress up as ordinary people and sneak into Yuluo Mountain. If you encounter a team delivering food into the mountain , follow them, be sure to find the location of the gold mine, leave a mark along the way, and find out the situation of the gold mine, and come back to report to me. We must wipe out the mine and rescue all the miners.”

"Yes!" The guards agreed and took orders to leave.

Xuan Yu then sighed heavily, "Old Shen, what do you think about this matter?"

Shen Luo's brows were also tightened, "According to their confession, the city guards in Tianhe County have been bought long ago, so we have no way to deploy troops here, so we can only let people hurry back to Liaocheng, from hundreds of Li Xiao sent a team over here. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the twenty or so of us to accomplish the task. Moreover, after taking over the gold mine, we need to send troops to garrison it."

Ye Weilan volunteered: "Let me go, I can't help you with other things. I will ride Xiaohei back to report to Uncle Baili. Xiaohei's footsteps are fast, and I think I can reach Liaocheng before dark."

"I'll go back with Lan'er!" Xuan Chen said with a serious expression, it was absolutely impossible for him to let a little girl like Ye Weilan go on the road alone.

Ye Weilan refused: "Your horse is not as fast as Xiao Hei, and will be thrown off."

Xuan Chen had an innocent expression on his face, "I can ride Xiao Hei with you."

He has wanted to ride Xiao Hei for a long time, but Xiao Hei has never treated him very well.

Ye Weilan opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, Xuan Chen said again: "Either go back together, or you stay here obediently, there is no third choice, I will never let you go on the road alone."

Ye Weilan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Shen Luo and Xuan Yu looked at each other, the two adults thought about it seriously, and finally nodded together, Xuan Yu took out a black iron tiger talisman from his arms with a solemn expression, and handed it to his son, "Be careful on the road Brother Chen, tell your Uncle Xiao to bring three thousand soldiers and horses, come here at night, and make sure to arrive before midnight."

Xuan Chen also had a serious expression on his face, took the Tiger Talisman from his father, put it in his arms carefully, and then said to Ye Weilan: "Lan'er, let's go!"

Ye Weilan came to the stable with him, took Xiao Hei out of the stable, and went to the street outside, Ye Weilan touched Xiao Hei's neck and said: "Xiao Hei, there is something important today, don't lose your temper , put up with that annoying bastard for a while."

Xuan Chen listened dumbfounded to her conversation with a horse, and as soon as he got on the horse, Xiao Hei moved a little unhappily, he reached out his hand to Ye Weilan, pulled Ye Weilan onto the horse, and let Ye Weilan sit behind him.

Ye Weilan didn't compete with him for control either, she knew that she couldn't compare to him with riding skills alone, and for the past two years she had been focusing on learning martial arts, she had never studied riding skills at all, her level was only at riding.

"Hold my waist." Xuan Chen said to Ye Weilan. "Don't let go!"

Ye Weilan curled her lips and hugged his waist tightly.

Xuan Chen knocked on the horse's belly with his leg, shook the reins, lowered his body, and yelled, Xiao Hei ran wildly in a very cooperative manner.

After the two left, Xuan Yu sighed, "These tartars are too courageous, they dared to secretly dig gold mines in the territory of our Canglan Dynasty. Let the emperor know about this, and he will be angry again."

Shen Luo also frowned and said: "This group of people has been digging here for 20 years, and they don't know how much has been dug away, and they don't know how much gold this mine contains."

Xuan Yu said firmly: "No matter what, even if there is only a tael of gold left in the end, we must take the gold mine back, and the miners must be rescued."

……

As expected, Xiao Hei's footsteps did not disappoint Ye Weilan and Xuan Chen. They ran over 200 miles in less than an hour. They entered the city before the gate of Liao City was closed. After entering the city, because There were no pedestrians on the street anymore, and the two of them ran all the way to Bailixiao's Zhenbei General's Mansion, and got off the horse. Xuan Chen handed Xiao Hei to the guard at the door, "Take good care of this horse for me." , add the fine ingredients."

Afterwards, he took Ye Weilan and rushed all the way into the General's Mansion, and arrived at the back house unimpeded.

"Oh, my little ancestor, where did you two come from? Why do you look like two little mud monkeys?" Lu Jiaoying was having dinner with Bailixiao when she saw the two of them rushing in from outside. He came in and told the servant girl quickly. "Hurry up and get some water, and help Shizi and Miss Ye wash up."

Xuan Chen threw Lu Jiaoying to Ye Weilan to deal with, while he walked up to Baili Xiao, swiped the tiger amulet his father gave him, "Uncle, my father wants you to send three thousand soldiers to go to the well in Tianhe County town."

When Bailixiao saw the tiger talisman, he stood up with a dignified expression, reached out to take the tiger talisman, then took out a tiger talisman from his bosom, put the two pieces of tiger talisman together, and stitched them together, and finally handed it to him from Xuan Chen. Returning the tiger amulet to him, he asked, "Brother Chen, what happened?"

Lu Jiaoying said distressedly: "I'll talk about business in a while, let the two children wash up and have a meal."

"What do you know, you woman?" Baili Xiao glared at his daughter-in-law angrily, and simply took Xuan Chen out to the study to talk. "What the hell is going on?"

Xuan Chen told about the discovery of the gold mine, and according to his confession, the city guards in Tianhe County colluded with those Tartars, so his father had no way to transfer troops from Tianhe County, so he had to come back to look for Bailixiao.

After Baili Xiao heard this, she immediately walked out, and said as she walked: "Brother Chen, you and Lan'er have a good rest and eat something. I'm going to dispatch troops now, and we'll leave in an hour."

Xuan Chen nodded, indicating that he had remembered, and went back to the inner house, washed his face, ate something with Ye Weilan, and rested for a while.

Lu Jiaoying kept complaining, "Brother Chen is a brat, so I won't say anything, but you are a girl, and you always follow him around, look at this little face, how haggard. According to me Said, just obediently be a female celebrity at home, don't follow him around, I feel sorry for you when you look so small."

Ye Weilan didn't talk back, just kept smiling.

Bai Lixue smiled and said: "Mother, just calm down for a while, don't be annoying."

"How come?" Ye Weilan asked hastily. "Madam loves us, why would we despise Madam? It's the same with my mother."

Lu Jiaoying smiled and said, "Look at Lan'er who can talk, let's see you again."

Bai Lixue twitched her lips, "Sister Lan'er, you don't know, my brother married his sister-in-law, but he didn't let her come and set the rules for my mother. Now my mother wants to make everyone set the rules when she sees everyone."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Am I the one who can handle my daughter-in-law?" Lu Jiaoying gave her precious daughter a hard look. "You're talking nonsense! I'm not afraid that your Lan'er sister will laugh at you."

Seeing the mother and daughter bickering, Ye Weilan couldn't help but miss her mother, smiled, and didn't interrupt.

Bailixue argued with her mother for a few words, and then said, "Sister Lan'er, I'm leaving for the capital in a few days, do you want to go with me?"

Ye Weilan couldn't help asking in surprise, "What are you going to do in the capital?"

"Go to the Royal Women's Academy to study." Bailixue said with a smile. "I went on the road with Aunt Yao, and Sister Rou also went to study with me, why don't you go too, we can be companions, talking and laughing together, how nice it is."

After Ye Weilan was reminded by her, she remembered that the female students recruited by the Royal Women's Academy were all eleven or twelve years old. Now Bailixue and Xuan Yirou are both at the right age. She remembered that she was also admitted at this age. The Royal Women's Court, then shook his head, "No, I'd better learn martial arts from my master."

Bailixue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Sister Lan'er, you are a girl, you don't take the martial arts championship, and you don't need to make meritorious deeds, even if you learn well, what's the use?"
