Chapter 1140: Treating Money Like Dirt

"Sister, thank you for saving my mother!"

"Mom, are you okay? Mom!"

"This sister is so powerful. The man in black seems to be dead."

“So scary, ahhhhh…”

“…”

The children looked at the man in black in horror, and finally covered their eyes and dared not look at the person bleeding on the ground.

Tian Niangzi held her children in her arms and said to Jiang Wan with gratitude:

"Thank you, thank you ma'am!"

If this lady had not arrived in time, she would have lost her life now.

It doesn't matter if she died, but the children are still so young, they haven't seen the beauty of this world yet.

"Go hide."

Jiang Wan nodded slightly at her. More men in black came in, but were blocked by Jiang Wan.

She wielded the whip in her hand with great force, which made the children's faces full of admiration.

The sound of fighting outside could be heard, which made the people hiding inside look worried.

At this moment, Muxiang came in holding two children, and Jiang Wan asked her to hide with Tian Niangzi and the others.

"Master, be careful."

Muxiang also has poison in her hand. If anyone dares to attack her by surprise, she will never let him go.

Fortunately, all the black-clad men's energy was outside, so Jiang Wan only needed to be on guard.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the fighting outside ended and the door of the ancestral hall was opened.

A group of people rushed in.

Song Jiuyuan and the others rushed to Jiang Wan and Mu Xiang first, and Ruoshui was even more nervous.

"Master, I'm glad you're all right."

"My wife!"

Tianyu and the others quickly walked over to check on Tianniangzi and the others, and the couple hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"What's going on outside?"

Jiang Wan glanced at the village chief and others who had sad expressions, and guessed that the situation outside was not optimistic.

"This time, the enemy has a lot of troops, and they are killers, so they are even more ruthless."

Song Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, "We are fine, but there are several casualties in the village."

They were all young men, and Jiang Wan could vaguely hear crying coming from outside.

I think they are those people’s families.

"well!"

Jiang Wan sighed. Even if they were not there, the people from Xingyue Tower had already set their sights on Tianjie Village.

I'm sure they won't let them go.

"Village Chief, do you know who they are?"

Muxiang looked over curiously. She had always been kind, and seeing such a scene, she felt somewhat sorry for it.

Judging from the look in her eyes, she really didn't know. The village chief was very grateful to them.

“Thank you for helping us, otherwise our casualties would be even more serious. We really don’t know who they are.

Last time, the man in black refused to tell me, but I know why they came!"

At this point, the village chief feels that the secret of their village can no longer be kept hidden.

Just as he was hesitating whether to tell Jiang Wan and the others, someone interrupted.

"Village Chief, you can't tell me. This is the secret of our Tianjie Village."

"Yes, we have been guarding here for generations, and we can't..."

“…”

"So what if you don't tell me? Can you bear it?"

The village chief sighed, pointed at the corpse outside and said, "Which is more important, life or money?

Ultimately, those people are after money, and the only thing we can do is to protect our families.”

Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other. This village chief was a man with a big picture.

But their secrets may not mean much to Xingyue Tower. After all, what they want is the real treasure on the treasure map.

Just as Jiang Wan was thinking about how to solve the problem, the village chief suddenly led everyone in Tianjie Village and said to Jiang Wan:

"Thank you for saving our entire village. We are willing to tell you the secrets of the village. We only ask you to save our village!"

The villagers were shocked by the village chief's words, and some of them disagreed.

"Village Chief, how can this be possible? Our whole family depends on this for their livelihood."

"There are so many men in our village. What if those people come again? We are not afraid!"

"What you said sounds nice, but that's because your family is fine, but my man is dead!"

“…”

Everyone was arguing, and Tianyu wanted to say something else, but was suddenly stopped by Tian Niangzi.

She said firmly: "If the madam hadn't saved me just now, my children and I would have died.

I support telling them the secret, just to stay alive."

Frankly speaking, Tian Niangzi is a very greedy person, but she just experienced the road of life and death.

She realized that being alive is more important than anything else.

"Actually, it's useless for you to tell us. We don't know who is behind this."

Muxiang shrugged. She and Ruoshui and the others really didn't know about it, but Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan knew.

"You are so powerful, you can definitely help us."

The village chief's tone was very firm, he knew that the people in charge were Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan.

So he, with his old bones, walked up to Jiang Wan and knelt down.

"Master and Madam, I know you are not ordinary people. I shamelessly beg you to save us all!"

"My lord, please save us!"

"Save our children, they are still so young!"

“…”

Everyone knelt in front of Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan. Fortunately, the two were of noble status, and Song Jiuyuan didn't even frown when they knelt down.

He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Wan, and when she nodded slightly, he said:

"If you are willing to tell us why they came to us, I will help you!"

He still did not reveal his identity. After all, he had so much treasure in his hands, and it would be bad if the emperor was wary of him.

"Let's go in and talk about it in detail."

The village chief gave the villagers a look and asked their families to clean up the bodies of their family members.

And clean up the bodies of the men in black outside.

Nothing was obtained from the interrogation before, and this time no one was left alive.

Jiang Wan and the others entered the ancestral hall. She took Xiaoshu away, and Song Jiuyuan also took Xinxin.

Ruoshui and Muxiang stood on their left and right, and so did Ganze and Song Si.

In Tianjie Village, only the village chief and a few older elders were left.

After everyone sat down, the village chief sighed and said, "We in Tianjie Village have lived here for hundreds of years.

We have guarded Tianjie Ridge for generations and made a living by hunting."

Jiang Wan frowned slightly, thinking that he was not going to tell the truth, but unexpectedly he changed the subject.

"We lived a simple and peaceful life until sixty years ago, when I was still a child and accidentally broke into the interior of Tianjie Ridge."

The village chief has white hair, but looks in good spirits. His eyes are empty, as if he is recalling things that happened many years ago.

“I discovered in the cave that the ore from Tianjie Ridge contains trace amounts of gold.

My father, who was the village chief at the time, happened to be skilled in refining gold, and he took the lead in refining the first piece of pure gold."

As the village chief finished speaking, Muxiang, Ruoshui and the others almost dropped their jaws in shock!

There is gold!

No wonder it's coveted.

On the other hand, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked normal, and Mu Xiang was very cooperative.

A master is a master. He regards money as dirt. She was almost dying of curiosity.

The master's expression was still as cold as ever.
