When the village chief saw Shangguan Lingyun asking questions, he did not hesitate at all.
"I have followed those officials through the secret passages of the mine several times. Perhaps I can lead His Majesty and His Majesty out."
"I know that we are slow and may delay the important matters of His Majesty and His Majesty."
"How about this? I and the village chief from the neighboring village will accompany His Majesty and His Majesty, and let the others go back on their own."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought so too. The mine was full of traps. If she tried to figure it out on her own, it would only waste more time.
She had thought about letting the charmed officer lead the way, but after seeing those women, she decided not to let any of them go.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately looked at Shangguan Lingyun, who nodded lightly.
"Wang Xiao, deal with all the guards here and send a few secret guards to send these villagers back temporarily."
"Village Chief, please show us the way."
When the village chief heard this, he immediately nodded respectfully.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."
After the two village chiefs finished speaking, they took Shangguan Lingyun, Ye Xiaoxiao and others to the exit of the mine.
The mine was winding and they didn't know how long they had been walking. Ye Xiaoxiao saw that the two village chiefs were a little out of breath.
"Your Majesty, why don't we sit down and rest for a while before we go."
Shangguan Lingyun saw a trace of fatigue on her face and immediately nodded in agreement with heartache.
Shangguan Lingyun spoke, and everyone immediately stopped and straightened up.
At the same time, the two village heads also understood Ye Xiaoxiao's position in Shangguan Lingyun's heart, and became more respectful towards Ye Xiaoxiao.
After resting for half an hour, everyone set off again. This time, they did not rest and walked out of the cave in one breath.
Looking at the dense forests around her and the narrow mountain roads, Ye Xiaoxiao frowned deeply.
"Two village chiefs, the roads here are so narrow, how did they transport the ore out?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of the two village chiefs. "Your Majesty, this mountain road is the one they took when they brought us here."
"As for the road for transporting iron ore, it is still under construction."
"Because the road was dug through the middle of the mountain, it took quite a while to build."
"But if you count the days, it should be completed in about ten days."
Ye Xiaoxiao immediately exchanged glances with Shangguan Lingyun. Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly, while Ye Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart.
[So, this place is just like the gold mine. Not much has been transported out yet.]
Fortunately, we discovered it in time. Otherwise, if this iron ore was made into weapons by someone with ulterior motives, Daxia would be in danger.
It’s no wonder that Ye Xiaoxiao thought too much. If the iron mines in Xicheng Mountain and the gold mines in Mao Mountain were used by someone with ulterior motives to rebel, Daxia would probably suffer heavy losses.
Although Dayu was also busy with internal strife, if Daxia was in chaos, Dayu would definitely attack Daxia without hesitation.
Putting her thoughts aside, Ye Xiaoxiao continued to follow the crowd, but at this moment she began to think about what to do next.
Originally, she planned to return to the palace only after finding all the medicinal herbs for the children.
But now that Shangguan Lingyun is here, she certainly can't let him stay away for a long time.
Especially now that some of these gold mines have flowed into the capital, she must let Shangguan Lingyun go back as soon as possible to take charge of the situation.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.
[Forget it, maybe I'm just being too sentimental.]
[Given Shangguan Lingyun and I's current status, it's unlikely we'll ever be able to go through the process of our relationship again.]
[Never mind, never mind. It just so happens that I miss my two children too.]
[Next, I should go back and deal with state affairs first. Let's put emotional matters aside for now.]
Shangguan Lingyun was holding Ye Xiaoxiao's hand at the moment, so he heard everything she was thinking.
Only now did he understand that what Ye Xiaoxiao had always wanted to pursue was the development of their relationship.
After understanding her thoughts, Shangguan Lingyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to perfectly resolve the issues of Xichengshan and Maoshan without returning to the palace.
Now it seems that Ye Xiaoxiao is willing to go back with him, which is even better.
Shangguan Lingyun's mood improved a lot, and the coldness in his body also subsided a lot.
After glancing at the two slightly embarrassed village heads, Shangguan Lingyun spoke for the first time.
"Thank you for bringing us out. We won't need your help with anything else. You should go back to the village and take charge of the situation."
All the people in the village were taken away. You can imagine how desolate the village is at this moment.
Seeing that they came out safely, the two village chiefs no longer insisted on following them.
Although Shangguan Lingyun and his men understood the whole story, the number of secret guards around him was too few.
If you want to control the entire West City, you have to wait for Commander Zhou to lead his troops here.
Fortunately, Wang Xiao has already sent the message to Commander Zhou, so they should be not far from here now.
Another secret guard was sent to escort the two village chiefs away, and they returned to the inn.
As soon as I returned to the inn, the innkeeper came to greet me with a group of big men with a strange look on his face.
"Come here, arrest them."
Shangguan Lingyun did not move, but Wang Xiao and the secret guards behind him did.
Soon, all the big men who wanted to attack were knocked to the ground in an instant, and the shopkeeper was so scared that he didn't know how to react for a while.
After a long while, the shopkeeper finally understood the situation and knelt down in front of the two men.
"Please spare my life, my dear guest. I am only following orders. Please treat me as a fart."
