At night, the group arrived in Liuyun County, the closest to the Xishan Mine, under the pretext of visiting relatives.

Before coming, Li Yingfeng had already booked the entire inn in advance.

Su Li was assigned to Room No. 1.

It doesn't matter whether she comes or not for this plan, so there is no need for her to participate in this plan.

After checking into the inn, she did what she was supposed to do.

It wasn't until around ten o'clock in the evening that there was a knock on the door.

"Prince?"

Ji Tinglan said gently, "General Li's troops have already begun to move. According to the plan, they will probably be finished by the beginning of the Yin hour."

It was the beginning of the Yin hour, which was a little after three in the morning.

Ji Tinglan continued, "Rest well, I'll take you up the mountain tomorrow morning."

After listening to what Li Yingfeng said, he already knew that the people who saved Ali were the two cooks from Xishan Mine, and she came here to make sure that the two were safe and sound.

Su Li nodded: "I understand, thank you."

Li Yingfeng was still waiting for him. After Ji Tinglan informed Su Li, he left.

When Su Li knew that Ji Tinglan was the original male protagonist Pei Ji, she had already guessed that the reason why Li Yingfeng had not taken action for so long was because he was waiting for him.

She didn't need to worry about it, so she went back to her room to rest.

The next morning, Su Li had just gotten up and washed up when there was a knock on the door on time.

It was still Ji Tinglan, and behind him was Zhichang holding breakfast.

Ji Tinglan smiled softly and said gently, "After breakfast, let's go up the mountain."

Then he took the tray from Zhitang and handed it to Su Li.

"Is it over? Was it smooth? Are the people on the mountain okay?"

"Don't worry, they're fine."

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief and took the tray with breakfast on it: "Have you eaten?"

Ji Tinglan curled his lips: "Not yet."

“…”

"Well, do you want to eat together?"

"good."

“…”

She was just asking out of politeness.

"Then come in."

Then he looked at Zhitang behind him: "What about you?"

Zhitang was about to refuse, saying that she was his wife. How could he have breakfast at the same table with her? That was against the rules.

Before he could say anything, Ji Tinglan said directly: "He has eaten."

The words "I dare not" were swallowed in his throat and turned into: "Yes, Miss Mo, I... I have already eaten."

Su Li immediately realized that the carriage belonged to Ji Tinglan, so the coachman was naturally his man. In this era, especially among aristocratic families, subordinates and servants were generally not allowed to eat at the same table with their masters.

"Oh, then, my Lord, please come in..."

The house where Su Li lived was divided into an inner room and an outer room. It was not inconvenient for the two of them to have their meals in the outer room.

Breakfast consisted of vermicelli soup and steamed dumplings, both of which were Su Li's favorites. Coming from a modern society with open-minded customs, she did not feel uncomfortable facing a man she was not very familiar with, and just ate her breakfast seriously.

However, while eating, his attention was unknowingly attracted by Ji Tinglan opposite him.

Tsk tsk!

The way he eats is so elegant, and coupled with his appearance, it is truly pleasing to the eye.

Ji Tinglan noticed her gaze and looked up at her: "What's wrong?"

I don’t know if it was intentional, but that expression made Su Li feel a little... innocent?

She blinked, her tone unmistakable, "This breakfast is good..."

She was telling the truth, the breakfast was indeed very good, at least it was to her taste.

Ji Tinglan was in a good mood: "As long as you like it..."

After breakfast, the two of them did not delay and went directly to the Xishan Mine.

Unlike what she had seen before, there were no longer any archers guarding the watchtower at the foot of the Xishan Mine day and night.

There were still people guarding the bridge over Huandu River, but they were all Li Yingfeng's men now.

Su Li and Ji Tinglan climbed the mountain smoothly.

The mountain was no different from before, still quiet, but she knew that the black mine here had been destroyed.

Although Su Li arrived here as soon as she woke up and lived here for seven months, she knew from the beginning that innocent people here would eventually be silenced. Therefore, even though she had been here for so long, she had no sense of belonging here.

"Coming?"

Li Yingfeng was giving instructions to his subordinates in front of the mine entrance. When he saw the two of them, he came over to greet them.

He stayed on the mountain from last night's operation until it ended. Ting Lan went down the mountain early in the morning to pick up Miss Mo.

"Miss Mo, those slaves are all under control in their original places of residence, including the cook."

Su Li knew that Aunt Sang and the others were now at their original residence: "I'll go look for them."

After greeting the two of them, Su Li went down the mountain to her original residence.

Zhichang and Zhitang followed her behind.

Ji Tinglan explained: "In case there are any fish that slip through the net on the mountain, let them follow you."

After all, he meant well. Su Li thought about it and decided not to refuse his kindness, allowing Zhichang and the other two to follow.

Outside the mud house, there was a person guarding the door. Li Yingfeng's intention was not to treat them as prisoners, but just to prevent someone from causing trouble.

The same is true for the slaves in the mountains.

The man seemed to have received instructions. When he saw Su Li, he bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Mo, the cooks are all inside."

"Thank you."

When Su Li pushed the door open, she saw Aunt Sang and the others sitting on the bed, looking a little frightened.

Seeing Su Li, Ah Xiu was surprised and ran over quickly: "Sister Mo! Where have you been these days?"

Aunt Sang and a few others also gathered around.
