Chapter 432 The Fairy in the Painting

"Of course not!" Xu Yang heard this and shook his head in surprise, "Miss, this Saltpeter Mountain now belongs to the Third Prince."

"Then you're still taking me with you?"

Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xu Yang, and his eyes almost asked, "You can't offend the Third Prince for me, right?"

"Yes." Xu Yang nodded, scratched his head and said, "Miss, did I forget to tell you that the Third Prince said that you can go wherever you want, even if you want saltpeter."

"That's more like it." Xiao Jiuyue felt it was normal after listening to Xu Yang's words. She said that saltpeter was such an important thing. If Xu Yang and his men took people there casually, they might not be able to keep such a good thing.

"Then, do the people in Gaoliang Village know about this?" Xiao Jiuyue thought of the people in Gaoliang Village now. She asked, "What are the people in Gaoliang Village good at?"

"Hey, Miss, how do you know all this?" Xu Yang was a little surprised, and then explained: "The people in Gaoliang Village are good at digging saltpeter. All the saltpeter was dug by the people in Gaoliang Village, and we are responsible for transporting it out."

"Will the Third Prince use useless people?" Xiao Jiuyue raised his eyebrows. Jun Lie is definitely not the kind of person who would give important things to others casually. If he wants to help the villagers, there are so many ways for him to do so.

And the fact that the people of Gaoliang Village followed Xu Yang to the Saltpeter Mountain proved that the people of Gaoliang Village must have their strengths that caught Jun Lie's attention.

"That's right." Xu Yang understood it all at once.

Unfortunately, it’s getting dark now.

Xiao Jiuyue felt regretful for a moment, then went back to see Old Madam Xiao. Old Madam Xiao, who had taken the medicine, was eating dinner at the moment.

"Grandma, are you feeling better?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Old Madam Xiao. Compared to when she was in the carriage, Old Madam Xiao was obviously in much better condition now.

"I'm much better now, but my health is not good enough, which delayed my journey." Old Madam Xiao blamed herself a little. The Xiao family and the Bai family were all looking forward to going to Shengjing to meet the Xiao family members whom they had not seen for more than two years. But now, because of her poor health, she had to stay in Jiutou Village.

"Grandma, I was just about to tell you." Xiao Jiuyue accompanied Old Madam Xiao for dinner and said, "There's a saltpeter mountain near Jiutou Village. It's perfect. I want to use saltpeter to make ice. I'm going to the mountain tomorrow to check it out. If I don't come back, I'm afraid it will delay me for three to five days."

Xiao Jiuyue thought that after three to five days, her grandmother's health should be good enough for her to return to Shengjing.

"Really?" Old Madam Xiao said this because she was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would comfort her.

Xiao Jiuyue nodded affirmatively: "It couldn't be more true, Grandma. Your granddaughter won't be able to accompany you for the next few days."

The sincerity in Xiao Jiuyue's eyes made Old Madam Xiao understand that this was true. She waved her hand and said, "I'm old, I don't need your company. Besides, Yurong and Tingwu come here every day, so it won't matter if you're not here."

"And your mother, Third Aunt, and Aunt Lan." Old Madam Xiao counted the people. Not only Su and the others, but also Xiao Jiayuan and the others, who came every day and took turns. Old Madam Xiao smiled and said, "I, an old woman, don't even have enough time to rest."

"That's good." Xiao Jiuyue chatted with Old Madam Xiao. After returning to the room, Xiao Jiuyue picked up a pen and began to write down the method of making ice with saltpeter. If she remembered correctly, making ice with saltpeter was very easy.

As for the Third Prince, what is the use of saltpeter?

Xiao Jiuyue guessed that it was for making bird guns. Saltpeter is a good material for making gunpowder. Jun Lie should also understand it. Then, did Xue Wan and the others get the bird guns from here?

Xiao Jiuyue was also wondering, how can he make the bird gun more powerful?

It's a pity that she has never come into contact with these things before, otherwise they would come in handy now.

Xiao Jiuyue thought about it all night and was so excited the next day that she woke up early. If she could make ice, would she still worry about the shop being empty in summer?

At that time, chilled watermelon, smoothies, and ice water will all be great ways to beat the summer heat!

"Miss, are you going now?" Xu Yang had just finished his workout and was shocked to see Xiao Jiuyue. He asked, "Miss, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Yeah, I'm done eating." Xiao Jiuyue nodded. She came here just after she finished eating. She couldn't wait to try making ice with saltpeter.

Xu Yang swallowed his words without hesitation and took Xiao Jiuyue out early. Yue Nini watched them leave and touched her belly, saying, "It's a pity you're pregnant. Otherwise, I could have gone up the mountain with you."

This time they were going up the mountain, and Xiao Jiuyue directly brought Jin Wu, Hua Qing and Dong Gui with him. Not only was their safety guaranteed, but if the three of them fought, it would be very powerful.

Soon, Xiao Jiuyue met the people from Gaoliang Village.

"The fairy in the painting!"

Xu Yang had just greeted the other party when he heard him exclaim.

Xiao Jiuyue's eyes were full of doubts as she stared at the strange man. She was sure that she had never seen him before.

"Lao Gao, this is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family that His Highness mentioned." Xu Yang reminded him, fearing that Lao Gao might accidentally make Xiao Jiuyue angry.

"Miss." When Lao Gao heard this, he immediately bowed. Even though he saw the prince, Lao Gao was still able to remain calm. He secretly glanced at Jiang Ning out of the corner of his eye: Look alike, really alike, exactly the same.

"Miss, his name is Gao Shan, and we all call him Lao Gao. He was the one who was in charge of receiving the prince when he came before." Xu Yang explained on the side.

"What does the fairy in the painting mean?" Xiao Jiuyue asked directly.

Gao Shan paused and said, "Miss, I once looked at you in a painting. I thought it was a fairy who had descended to the earth. I..." Gao Shan's face was dark. He was in his twenties but didn't look very old.

"Where is the painting?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.

Gao Shan quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Miss. I didn't mean to look at it. The painting was hanging in the yard, so I just took a look."

When Gao Shan saw it, he was thinking, how could there be such a beautiful woman in this world!

Since Gao Shan started working for His Highness, he has come into contact with many people, but he has never met a woman as beautiful as this one.

At that time, Gao Shan thought that this was a fairy in a painting. Now looking at Xiao Jiuyue, it was as if she had walked out of the painting.

Painted by Jun Lie.

Xiao Jiuyue guessed it with her toes. She muttered in her heart, why did Jun Lie draw her? She said, "Lead the way."

Xiao Jiuyue skipped this topic directly, and Gao Shan walked ahead to lead the way.

Xiao Jiuyue asked, "When did Your Highness come? Did you stay for a long time?"

Judging from the appearance of the mountains, it doesn't look like they have only been here for a day or two.

"I've lived here for a month and a half." Gao Shan said excitedly. His Highness said that the eldest lady is special, so he can say anything, right?

Gao Shan thought so, and without any hesitation, he said, "Your Highness is truly the most powerful person I have ever met, and the best master I have ever met!"

"Hmm?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the excited Gao Shan and thought: When did he become the master?
