Chapter 251: I made a fortune from the jade mine
On the day of departure.
King Yong did not take away Xiangying's position as military commander, but instead allowed her to continue to help lead the entire team because she submitted a prescription for the epidemic.
Xiangying knew that this was because Jie Chen had spoken well of her.
King Yong turned a blind eye to this because everyone knew that once they went to Shangjing City, they would have no control over anything.
When the entire exile team left White City, the people were standing in large crowds on both sides of the city gate.
They didn't dare to speak and could only watch the exile team go further and further away with reluctant eyes.
These days Xiangying not only cured their illnesses, but also let them experience the joy of more work and more pay.
I couldn't afford to buy things in the past, and I couldn't earn enough money no matter how hard I tried. But now, if I work hard, I hope to buy a mink coat.
Unfortunately, the good days didn’t last long and the exile team had to leave.
The people felt sorry for themselves and also felt sorry for them.
Everyone knows what the fate of prisoners from enemy countries is.
Leaving Baicheng, they followed the official road up the mountain road. The surrounding mountains were covered with snow, and the road was neither fast nor slow.
Fortunately, Xiangying managed to secure fifteen carriages for the exiled prisoners, one for herself and her children.
There were fourteen vehicles left, and everyone took turns using them. When they got tired, they would get on and rest for a while.
Each wagon was equipped with firewood and ready-to-eat beef jerky.
Just now, Xiangying pulled Mr. Lin into his carriage to sit and rest.
The three little ones leaned obediently beside the old man, calling him "Grandpa Lin" one after another, which made old man smile and his face became rosy and bright.
He lifted the curtain and gradually taught the little ones everything he had learned throughout his life.
"Do you see the mountain in front of you? It's straight as if it were cut by a knife, yet it rises straight up into the clouds. There's no snow underneath, which means there's earth energy underneath. Generally, places with earth energy are more likely to produce spirits and souls."
The three little ones suddenly widened their eyes: "What is an elf? A monster?"
Old Master Lin stroked his beard and laughed: "Essence refers to the essence of the sun and the moon condensed, and spirit is the essence of the sun and the moon carved into treasures by time. For example, iron and gold belong to this category, but in my opinion, there should be jade underneath."
Xiangying, who was dozing off nearby, pricked up his ears when he heard this.
Jade is good! She needs jade!
"Mr. Lin, are you saying there is a mineral vein underneath?"
Elder Lin said with a smile: "This old minister is just guessing. I don't know if there are jade veins, but there must be small mines."
After hearing this, Xiangying could no longer sit still and became restless.
She entered the advanced space, opened the barter system, and found an auxiliary function called geological exploration thermal imaging, which needed to be used with a drone.
It's what Xiangying needs, but it's expensive!
It actually requires 200,000 grains.
This is already discounted.
Fortunately, Xiangying has been doing nothing else these days except doubling the planting.
Now she has plenty of food!
I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and bought it.
In an instant, half of the food stored on the fourth floor disappeared.
Her drone grew wider and larger.
Xiangying briefly understood the functions and immediately released the drone.
Their team was always on the move, so it was convenient for Xiangying to use drones to locate and search for minerals.
As soon as the thermal imaging was turned on, the originally dense and white forest was suddenly exposed in front of Xiangying as if it was completely exposed without any cover.
Not only did she see hibernating bears, but also a family of wild boars running around looking for food.
The new technology is very useful. In vivo thermal imaging appears red, but mineral veins are bright white.
Xiangying saw a faint, bright white light not far from a small river in a dense forest. The further he went, the wider and thicker the light became.
This symbolizes the depth of the jade mine!
Finally, Xiangying used a drone to locate and survey and measured the distance.
It's over. This piece of jade mine feels as big as a basketball court and is nearly a hundred meters deep.
She certainly can't do the mining and exploration by herself.
King Yong and his men would never allow her to stay in this place alone.
But since Xiangying had found the jade mine, he certainly didn't want to leave just like that.
Otherwise it would be a pity!
She sat up and looked out of the carriage.
Xie Chen followed on horseback not far away.
Xiangying waved to him and he immediately rode over.
"What's wrong?"
Xiangying stretched out his arm: "Pull me over."
Xie Chen was stunned and raised his eyebrows: "Where are you going?"
The three little ones gathered nearby, laughing in childish voices.
"On your horse's back, of course!"
"Yes, yes, mother was fidgeting in the carriage, it turns out she wanted to free uncle!"
Being teased by the child, Xie Chen's ears turned red again.
He said to Xiangying in a deep voice: "This is too dangerous. I will stop the carriage and you can get on."
"No need to go through so much trouble." Xiangying leaned against the window and was about to jump out.
Xie Chen was afraid that she would roll off, so he quickly reached out and pulled her directly onto the horse's back, sitting her steadily in front of him.
Seeing this, the skinny monkey nearby took the lead in clapping, and a few people shouted and joked.
"The deputy general is really good!"
"That's because our sister-in-law has a light figure."
When Prince Yong looked out from the carriage, these people completely shut up.
Xie Chen held Xiangying in his arms, held the reins with one hand, and gently squeezed the horse's belly, and the two of them rushed forward.
When there were no more eyes watching the fun, he lowered his head and asked Xiangying in her ear, "There are so many people around, and you dare to make trouble, huh?"
Xiangying took out a piece of paper from his sleeve with a click.
Xie Chen paused with a charming thought in mind, and raised his sword-like eyebrows faintly: "What do you want to do now?"
Xiangying's smile was more cunning than that of a little fox.
"Jie Chen, let's go dig for jade." She briefly told him her plan.
Xie Chenbo smiled: "So you came to me just for this matter? You want me to cover for you, and we can leave the exile team together?"
Xiangying nodded honestly: "Yes, what else?"
Xie Chen seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Yes, what else? He was overthinking again.
He shook his head gently: "Probably not. Prince Yong is following us, and we two can't leave for too long."
Xiangying was a little frustrated: "What should I do? I need so many jades in my Qiankun bag."
Jie Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Really want it?"
"think."
"Give me a kiss, and I'll find a way for you."
As he spoke, he lowered his head on his own initiative. Xiangying skillfully stretched out her hands to hook his neck. The two of them were entangled in their breath, and Jie Chen's heart felt as gentle as if it was injected with nectar.
There was no other way. Xiangying had completely devoured him. If he was asked to give up his life now, he would find a way to do it without letting her be charged with murder.
"Give me the location of the jade mine and I'll find someone to dig for you."
Xiangying blinked, her red lips shiny and moist: "How many people can you find?"
Xie Chen actually laughed.
"A poor prince can always use more people than you think."
