Chapter 194 "You don't have to send me away. If you have a way, just tell me directly."
The horse that was fed with the spiritual spring water had an astonishing speed. It was supposed to take a day and a night to travel the distance, but it arrived in just one night.
If it were a big white tiger, it might be even faster!
What a pity.
They found the area as described in the blueprint, but at first glance, it was just an ordinary hill with nothing unusual.
Thinking of the gold mine, they guessed that there must be a secret inside the mountain.
But this place is so big, it’s not easy to find the entrance.
Ruan Mian thought for a moment, then walked over to Xie Huaian and said, "Sir, it would be faster if we split up and searched separately. I think..."
"Mianmian." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xie Huaian.
Stunned, Xie Huaian suddenly said, "No need to send me away. If you have a way, just tell me directly."
There was a faint smile on his face, which made Ruan Mian stunned for a moment.
He is the prime minister after all, so it is normal for him to notice something unusual.
Ruan Mian thought that since he had seen through her thoughts, she didn't want to hide it.
"I was thinking that if I told them, they might think I was a monster."
Xie Huaian couldn't help laughing: "Why do I think you are a monster?"
Seeing his determined and trusting eyes, Ruan Mian took a deep breath and lowered her voice.
"There's a secret I haven't told you, sir. Actually... I can tame a lot of animals. I wanted to send you away just now because I wanted the forest deer to help me find the entrance."
I thought Xie Huaian would be shocked after she said this.
But his expression was very calm: "I know."
"You know??"
"You seem to have forgotten that I told you these things a long time ago. And from the moment I met you in Zhangzhou Shanguan, I noticed that you were particularly loved by some small animals. I remember that as soon as we arrived in the valley, you tamed a flock of wild white geese. Earlier, when we were at the shelter, I heard that you also raised two fawns."
"And this horse, he's also very obedient to you, as if he can understand what you say."
"So, Mianmian, I'm not surprised by this. Being able to tame living creatures is your ability. Of course, if you do something that shocks me again in the future, I won't have any other thoughts. In my heart, you're just Mianmian."
Yes, he has been with me for such a long time, and he must have noticed something wrong with his keen sense.
But he didn't mind and wasn't that curious, because Ruan Mian was just his Mian Mian.
A sudden warmth welled up in her heart. She smiled slightly, touched the jade bracelet, and called the deer with her mind.
Soon, they saw a little deer jumping towards them from the depths of the forest.
Ruan Mian took the initiative to hold Xie Huaian's hand, interlocking their fingers, his palms warm.
Under Xie Huaian's stunned gaze, she smiled and said, "Come with me."
Ruan Mian felt his grip tightening around her palm. As the warmth grew, Xiaolu sped up, and she collected her thoughts.
The entrance was behind an extremely hidden big tree, covered by layers of branches. After passing through the dense branches and leaves, they saw a tunnel blocked by a large stone.
If it weren’t for the little deer leading the way, who would have found this place?
Even if you find it, you probably won’t be able to find the entrance.
The two men worked together to move the stone and walked into the tunnel through the dark entrance.
She brought a tinder with her, and after lighting it, she suddenly discovered that this was a long and narrow corridor.
It was completely excavated by humans.
She came to a fork in the road and could even see that there were many roads next to it.
It feels like there are a lot of connections down here.
Continuing forward, I could faintly see a hint of fire and human voices.
Ruan Mian quickly blew out the fire stick and slowly approached in the dark.
From a distance, I saw that the entrance, lit by a dim oil lamp, was guarded by two sturdy men wearing the same rough clothes.
She and Xie Huaian looked at each other, Xie Huaian gave her a gesture, and ran over at an extremely fast speed!
The two men were still dozing off and had no time to react when they were knocked unconscious by one of his palms.
Ruan Mian ran over quickly and fed sleeping pills into each of their mouths.
Then he stripped off the two men's clothes and put them on himself.
Xie Huaian dragged them into a dark corridor, and then walked in with Ruan Mian.
As the noise grew louder, they finally arrived at a large space, which was brightly lit and filled with countless people mining diligently.
The sound of ping-pong was heard, and those people in tattered clothes were scolded and driven away by some people holding torture instruments, and forced to work.
They were like the refugees in exile, hunched over and skinny.
An elderly man not far away had little strength and was a little slow in his movements, so he was whipped by a ferocious-looking strong man!
The man's skin was torn and he fell to the ground, begging for mercy in agony.
There is not a single good part in the bodies of those who are enslaved.
This closed mining site is like a disguised execution ground.
Those exploited slaves could only be watched and worked day and night, wasting their lives.
Ruan Mian suddenly realized that the so-called secret under this gold mine was that someone was mining it illegally!
Moreover, these slaves who were brought here were ruthlessly exploited until every last bit of their value was squeezed out.
Xie Huaian pulled her to the dimly lit area. Everyone there was staring at the slaves working, and the clothes they wore did not attract much attention.
Xie Huaian took her back to the corridor and spoke in a low voice.
"The person who's illegally mining is most likely the mayor of Tunan City. Mianmian, we can't stay here for long. Let's evacuate first and talk about it later."
Ruan Mian thought for a moment and decided to return with him along the original route.
When passing by the two strong men, Ruan Mian took out a dagger and killed them quickly and efficiently.
People like them who regard life as that of ants don't regret dying.
After escaping quickly, Xie Huaian did not forget to hand her the clothes she had worn before, and motioned her to go to the woods nearby to change into them.
Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment, but when she lowered her head and smelled the stinky masculine scent on herself, she felt nauseous.
However, just after she took off the smelly clothes, a noise suddenly came from the woods!
She was alert! But Xie Huaian pulled her into his arms with lightning speed!
The next moment, Ruan Mian found that a net was suddenly pulled into the air where he had been standing.
If he hadn't pulled her away in time, Ruan Mian would probably have been hung in the air.
It seems that these people have set up a trap nearby.
When she came to her senses, she found Xie Huaian turned away with a red face.
Only then did Ruan Mian realize that she had not put on her clothes yet. She smiled awkwardly and quickly changed into her own clothes.
"Sir, let's go."
Xie Huaian hummed softly, but his usually calm face was now flushed.
This made Ruan Mian couldn't help laughing.
This man is also a pure love warrior.
In particular, in order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he gave her a clear and logical analysis in a strong and calm manner.
