Shen Shuli looked at Xie Chengyuan with mixed feelings, not knowing how to explain.
She couldn't tell him that she was coveting the iron mine, could she?
The tunnel was blown up and she couldn't enter the village from the entrance. She had originally planned to climb to the top of the mountain and then use a paraglider to enter the village.
But she didn't expect him to follow.
"I'm quite curious and want to know who is secretly mining iron ore here. And judging from the scale, this vein has been mined for at least three years, and it must have accumulated a large amount of iron resources." Shen Shuli talked nonsense.
Although she didn't know who owned the iron mine.
But she was 70% sure that this iron mine was related to the third prince.
"I also want to know who dares to take such a big risk to privately mine iron ore. This is a serious crime of treason." Xie Chengyuan's heart was in turmoil and he could not calm down.
"But the tunnel suddenly collapsed and we couldn't get in, so we had to return empty-handed." Shen Shuli said deliberately, wanting to get rid of him.
Seeing the disappointed look on the girl's face, Xie Chengyuan couldn't bear it and said, "I'll take you in."
...
...
Shen Shuli's eyelids trembled slightly.
She looked at him curiously, wondering how he would take her in.
Xie Chengyuan chuckled, reached out to take Shen Shuli's hand, put his arm around her waist, and took her flying.
Shen Shuli was not mentally prepared at all and was so shocked that she almost screamed out loud.
But she quickly calmed down, controlled her over-rapid heartbeat, and looked at Xie Chengyuan in surprise.
"Is this the legendary Qinggong?"
Xie Chengyuan's smile widened, and he said proudly, "Well, how do you feel?"
"Great! I want it! I want to learn it!" Shen Shuli said bluntly.
This is much more convenient than modern technology!
If you learn it, you can go wherever you want!
"Okay, I'll teach you when I have the chance." Xie Chengyuan agreed.
Xie Chengyuan took Shen Shuli and flew quickly to the top of the mountain, where there was a steep cliff.
The village is just below the cliff.
The two could see the sparks in the village, as well as the flames in the mines on the opposite mountain range.
"Let's just go down like this, is it okay?" Shen Shuli was a little nervous.
When she just flew up the mountain, Shen Shuli didn't feel scared because it was not very high from the ground.
But if she just went down to the bottom of the cliff hundreds of meters deep without any protection, she would feel a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let you get into any trouble."
Xie Chengyuan found a few thick vines nearby and tied them to a thick tree trunk on the edge of the cliff.
He tied several vines together to make a vine long enough to reach the bottom of the cliff.
He tied the ends of the vines around their waists, and after everything was ready, he said, "Okay, I'll take you down. If you're scared, you can close your eyes."
Shen Shuli took the initiative to reach out and hold Xie Chengyuan's waist. Only then did she realize that this man's waist was too thin, and the flesh around his waist was quite hard~
Xie Chengyuan didn't expect that she would take the opportunity to pinch the soft flesh on his waist, which was so itchy that he couldn't help but groan.
"Don't move..." Xie Chengyuan resisted the urge to laugh and reached out to hold her rebellious hand.
"Hehe~" Shen Shuli covered it up with an awkward laugh, and immediately did not dare to do it anymore.
Xie Chengyuan held the vine in one hand and Shen Shuli in the other, watching the lights on the ground getting closer and closer.
Feeling the wind blowing towards them, their wildly beating hearts calmed down a little.
Near the bottom of the mountain.
The two men discovered that a large number of soldiers surrounded the entrance to the cave tunnel.
They were struggling to dig out the collapsed cave.
Xie Chengyuan landed quietly with Shen Shuli.
After hiding the vines, he continued to take her through the village quickly, approaching the iron mine behind the village.
"How long can you keep up this light function? If you get tired, we can just stop and walk over." Shen Shuli was worried that Xie Chengyuan didn't have enough internal strength and would have problems with endurance.
We still have to rely on him to get back, so we can't squeeze him dry now.
"I can still hold on for a while. Don't worry, I recover quickly." Xie Chengyuan couldn't help but show off proudly.
Shen Shuli had to re-acquaint herself with Xie Chengyuan. This man was indeed very enduring.
It has been flying for an hour and it can still continue flying.
This is a master!
She must ask him for this technique to learn!
Half of the troops in the camp were at the foot of the mountain clearing the collapsed tunnels, while the other half were protecting the entire mine tightly.
The two of them stayed there for more than half an hour but were unable to find a chance to approach the mine.
"We need to find the person in charge of this iron mine. Why don't we go to the barracks first and look for him. Maybe we can find something." Xie Chengyuan suggested.
Shen Shuli nodded.
The two returned to the camp.
There were only a few soldiers guarding the camp at the moment, and the two men easily sneaked into each tent.
Most of the tents were tents for ordinary soldiers.
After searching for a long time, the two finally found the tent of the superior.
The tent was simply furnished, but there were many scrolls and books on the desk, as well as a few letters.
Xie Chengyuan opened the letter without hesitation and read it immediately.
After just a few glances, his face instantly darkened.
"These are actually Prince Luo's private soldiers!" Xie Chengyuan's hand holding the letter turned slightly pale.
Shen Shuli's ears moved and she hurried over to check.
It really is King Luo!
That is the third prince!
"It's him, so why are you so excited? Do you have a good relationship with Prince Luo?" Shen Shuli asked curiously.
She really didn't know the relationship between the two.
The book does not reveal the plot in this regard.
"He is the only prince I get along with sincerely..." Xie Chengyuan smiled bitterly, his eyes dark.
Shen Shuli looked at Xie Chengyuan with pity. Perhaps he didn't know yet that it was this Prince Luo who caused the Xie family to fall into such a state?
never mind.
Seeing that the child was devastated by this news, she decided not to tell him the cruel truth.
Shen Shuli hinted at him: "You are blind, forget it. Do you want to use these things as evidence? Otherwise, I will help you put them away. Don't worry, I will keep them and they will never be lost."
Xie Chengyuan's hand trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he handed the letter to Shen Shuli and said, "Well, it's time to put it away, so you can keep it for me for the time being."
Shen Shuli carefully put all the letters away and stuffed them into her arms, actually storing them in a space and putting them away in a small box.
"The letter said that all the ironware produced by this iron mine in recent years have been collected here, and most of them have been made into various weapons and armor. Why don't we take a closer look to see how much they have produced over the years?" Shen Shuli suggested.
She really wanted to take all those iron tools for herself.
It can be considered as revenge for my little sisters.
When we settle down in the future, we will definitely develop, and iron will be an indispensable resource.
Of course she wouldn't miss it if it was available.
Xie Chengyuan was a little confused. What was the use even if he knew where those things were?
There were only two of them and they couldn't take anyone away.
Now that they have figured out whose territory this is, their mission is accomplished.
