In this novel, the Xie family has been loyal through generations, with many sons sacrificing themselves for the country. Despite this, they are still viewed with suspicion by the emperor, who decre...
The ground beneath our feet is more than a meter above us.
Lin Yan originally intended to climb up herself.
Suddenly, I felt a tightness around my waist.
Xie Muqing's large, hot hands had already encircled her, and he easily jumped up with her in his arms.
She then realized that he must know kung fu.
Unfortunately, she's too old to train anymore.
Otherwise, if she combined her moves with great strength and lightness skill, wouldn't she be invincible?
Because she was thinking about this, Lin Yan's gaze involuntarily fell on Xie Muqing's face.
Xie Muqing was unaware of Lin Yan's true thoughts.
He noticed that she was gazing at him "affectionately".
He thought she was infatuated with his good looks...
He desperately tried to suppress the urge to smile.
The large hand that was wrapped around Lin Yan's waist didn't let go until they left the mine...
The two hid in a corner near the cave entrance, waiting and observing in secret.
At their feet.
The guards were still asleep.
Lin Yan took the opportunity to slit their throats.
By then, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer.
The two men gripped their broadswords tighter and tighter, both preparing for a fierce battle...
But to their surprise...
The sound of horses' hooves bypassed this area and galloped towards the city.
Only when they could no longer hear their voices did the two emerge from the shadows.
As the sun sets, the galloping horses kick up clouds of dust on the road.
This scene made Lin Yan feel inexplicably nervous.
At the same time, I was very confused.
"It's getting late. What are these people going into the city for?"
Xie Muqing squinted slightly as he watched the carriages and horses gradually disappear from sight.
"These people came from the capital."
"The capital?"
The two knew this was not the time to chat.
They then returned to the mine.
At this time, the shackles on the feet of hundreds of Xie family soldiers were also removed.
"Young master, madam, what should we do with these weapons? Every two months they send someone to take away the weapons they've made. There are still two days until they come to collect them this time. All the weapons made in the last two months are here..."
Lin Yan then discovered that there were several boxes of already-made weapons in the mine.
Among them were several boxes of finely crafted Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword)!
Even in the dim light, they refract a dazzling and captivating glow.
"We need to find a way to take them away. This mine was clearly discovered privately and wasn't reported to the imperial court. We can't let them get away with it. We'll report it to the authorities after we've dealt with these weapons and the dead bodies..."
Xie Muqing suddenly turned to look at Lin Yan.
He never imagined that her ambitions were so great!
They actually planned to keep these weapons for themselves.
But her courage and boldness held an irresistible allure for him...
"But where can we take them?"
These people are like Lin Yan.
They were all soldiers.
Weapons held a strong attraction for them!
In particular, these weapons were all made by them through hard work.
The emotions contained within are also quite different.
Lin Yan only glanced at it briefly and found that there were more than a dozen boxes of weapons!
How many weapons are there here?
"This batch includes four hundred long swords, two hundred bows and arrows, and thirty spears."
"so much?!"
Lin Yan couldn't help but look up at Xie Muqing.
I also saw astonishment in his eyes.
Such a large number of weapons is indeed difficult to move.
"I know a place where we can hide so many boxes of weapons after we transport them to the back mountain of Xiaolin Village. Since the city gates are still open, my husband and I will head back now to drive the carriage over. We'll take a shortcut back to the village. I'll have to trouble you all to make do for the night nearby. I'll try to report this to the authorities first thing tomorrow morning."
Fortunately, night gradually fell.
The two of them chose to take a secluded route.
Therefore, Xie Muqing's appearance did not attract much attention.
This time, both "Chasing the Wind" and "Chasing the Moon" are present.
The two men quickly helped them into the carriage and drove them out of the mansion.
Throughout the night, the two carriages made two round trips, finally managing to hide all the weapons.
Because the two horses were allowed to rest for a while along the way.
When they returned to the prefectural city again...
The sky was already beginning to lighten, and the city gates had been opened.
By this time, Lin Yan and Xie Muqing were completely exhausted.
After instructing the "passerby" to report the discovery of the iron mine to the authorities, the two washed up and quickly crawled into bed, falling into a deep sleep.
I took a nap yesterday during the day.
Xie Muqing was the first to wake up.
Because the bed was small, the two of them had unknowingly ended up sleeping in the same bed after one night.
He looked down and saw a round head sleeping soundly on his chest.
Even more deadly is...
Those long, slender legs were wrapped around his waist...
We've been married for so many days.
This was the first time they had ever been this close.
The woman's fragrance kept wafting into Xie Muqing's nostrils, and he felt his internal energy surging wildly, as if it was eager to find a way out.
A bulge soon appeared in the blanket...
While asleep, Lin Yan suddenly felt as if a dagger was pressing against her thigh.
The dagger seemed to be working against her.
He kept disturbing her peaceful sleep.
She remembered putting the dagger away before going to bed, so why is it still on the bed?
She could no longer bear it and gripped the dagger, ready to throw it down!
"Hmm!"
Suddenly, a suppressed gasp came from beneath him!
Lin Yan was startled awake and abruptly opened her dazed eyes.
Caught off guard, she met the eyes of the man beneath her, eyes with reddish corners.
His face was flushed and his breathing was rapid.
