Chapter 48: Stealing Gold Mine
Hou Yuanji ran a few steps and then reacted.
Yeah, why is he running?
Hou Yuanji ran back again, knife in hand, shouting, "Kill him!"
Following an order, the other escorts also started fighting with the bandits.
The clanging sound of weapons colliding and the cold light reflected were like lightning and thunder, covering the entire open space.
The Xie family and servants screamed.
They were dragging heavy hand and foot chains, but they ran faster than rabbits.
The scene was in chaos and Hou Yuanji had no time to care about them.
Lu Wanyin looked at Xie Jingci excitedly: "It's a dark and windy night, it's time to rob people. Are you going to leave?"
Xie Jingci smiled.
Then he said his recent catchphrase.
"As you say."
Lu Wanyin nodded and ordered, "Xuanyi, grandma is in your care."
After saying that, he asked Xuan Qi to carry Xie Jingci on his back and run into the woods while there was chaos.
When they reached the depths of the woods, Xie Jingci patted Xuan Qi's shoulder.
"Stop."
Even though Xuan Qi had guessed that his general had recovered, he still felt the heaviness of the general's hand on his shoulder.
He still couldn't suppress the surge of emotion in his heart.
Xuan Qi quickly put Xie Jingci down and watched him stand like a normal person, so excited that he was incoherent.
"General! You! You! You're okay!"
Xie Jingci was influenced by Xuan Qi and twisted his wrist and took two steps forward.
There was more warmth in his voice: "It's okay, all the injuries have healed, and there will be no adverse effects."
Hearing this, tears welled up in the eyes of the nine-foot-tall man Xuan Qi.
Xie Jingci's mood was also very heavy. He said, "We have to leave for something. You stay here to cover us."
Xuan Qi said, "Alright! With my subordinates here, I won't let anyone else get suspicious!"
He spoke with great force, but his eyes were already blurred with tears.
Xie Jingci took Lu Wanyin towards the gold mine.
As he walked, he pointed out the specific location in detail, introduced the size of the gold mine, how many guards there would be, etc.
After listening to this, Lu Wanyin felt somewhat relieved that the gold mine was not far away from them.
Her teleportation cannot carry anyone with her. If the two places are too far apart, she will not be able to take Xie Jingci with her to broaden his horizons.
"You follow slowly, I'll go check the gold mine first."
Xie Jingci guessed that he would soon have the honor of uncovering the secret of Lu Wanyin's short return to the orchard.
His eyes sparkled: "I'll catch up as soon as possible..."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the person who was so close to him disappeared.
Xie Jingci looked in the direction of the gold mine.
The weeds ahead didn't move at all.
It was as if no one had passed by just now.
He looked around again.
Apart from the way she came, there was no trace of her anywhere else.
Lu Wanyin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Xie Jingci's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
Even he himself couldn't tell whether he was more shocked or more happy.
Without thinking too much, he used his Qinggong skills to catch up.
…
It's time to change shifts in the gold mine excavation work.
A group of exhausted miners walked out of the mine.
After going through three layers of rigorous body searches inside and outside, they were all taken to the yard at the foot of the mountain to rest.
Another group of miners, led by the guards, carried their tools and went down the mine one by one.
Lu Wanyin counted and found that there were no less than twenty teams of soldiers patrolling around the mine.
She couldn't help but gasp in amazement: "With such tight security, how much gold must be in the mine?"
Xie Jingci finally found the person.
Standing next to Lu Wanyin, he tried his best to control his panting breath.
"Before the mine was opened, I found ore embedded with bright gold. The gold content of the ore inside the mountain is only more than that."
As far as Lu Wanyin knows, gold mines with a gold content of three grams per ton are worth mining.
For a mine like this where even the stones on the ground contain visible gold, you can imagine how astonishing the gold content is.
No wonder the emperor attached so much importance to this mine.
Lu Wanyin's blood was boiling.
My old emperor, you raided her house and sent her into exile, so don't blame her for exposing his past!
"Hide yourself first and wait for me to come out."
Xie Jingci was worried that Lu Wanyin was walking too fast and didn't have time to listen to her instructions, so he quickly reached out to grab her arm.
Space has the function of teleportation. With Lu Wanyin's ability, he can move thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye.
But this time, she felt that half of her body had already reached the bottom of the mine.
But he was pulled back to his original position by a powerful force.
Bang!
Even bumped into a broad chest.
Lu Wanyin was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words. She looked up at the hand that was holding her arm.
Sure enough, he met Xie Jingci's handsome face that made everyone angry and resentful.
She couldn't help but ask: "How did you do it?"
From Xie Jingci's perspective, he simply reached out and grabbed Lu Wanyin's arm.
Didn't do anything earth-shattering.
He couldn't quite understand her shock, but he was a little confused.
She looked up at him.
The beautiful face was only a fist away from him.
Snow-white skin, black hair, bright eyes, white teeth, delicate nose, and red lips... everything was magnified several times in front of his eyes.
Yet it remains flawless.
Especially the cherry lips that were slightly opened in surprise, and she unconsciously exhaled a sweet breath.
It tempted Xie Jingci to lower his head and grasp the fragrance in it forcefully and irresistibly.
“Let me ask you, how did you do that?”
Lu Wanyin shook Xie Jingci's hand, her tone somewhat anxious: "How could you catch me and pull me back in just the blink of an eye?"
She is so curious.
So much so that she didn't realize that the person opposite her was completely obsessed with her.
Xie Jingci took a deep breath, and as the cool air went down his throat, he suppressed his overly passionate emotions.
He said, "I don't know. I just grabbed it casually, without much effort."
Lu Wanyin touched his chin and thought.
Could it be that she was caught when she was about to teleport, and then the exclusive nature of the space pushed her out?
This explanation makes sense.
Lu Wanyin sighed with some regret.
She actually thought that in this world, besides her, there were other people with superpowers.
Seeing that the loose hair on Lu Wanyin's temples was blown onto her face, Xie Jingci raised his hand to smooth it out for her.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to remind him, she said fiercely, "Don't ask! If you ask too much, I'll kill you!"
He bowed his head.
His eyes fell on her right hand, which was placed in front of her neck, imitating the action of cutting her neck.
Xie Jingci's lips curled up uncontrollably, and he responded gently, "I won't ask. There may be guards in the mine. Be careful when you go in."
Seeing this, Lu Wanyin guessed that she was judging others by her own mean mind.
He snorted arrogantly on the surface.
But he was so embarrassed that he disappeared immediately.
Little did she know how excited Xie Jingci was when he looked at the place where she had just been.
…
Just as Xie Jingci had said, the gold mine was guarded at regular intervals.
Time is running out and Lu Wanyin doesn't want to delay any longer.
But she needs to explore the entire mine first before deciding how to deal with the gold mine.
So she tried to appear in dark places and went deeper into them little by little.
But there were still a few times when he was almost discovered.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, the barely perceptible sound of her soles touching the ground was amplified several times by the narrow mine.
Several guards shouted "Who?" and drew their knives, moving closer to her.
"Lao Mo, there's something unusual happening there."
This is the question being asked by the guard two hundred meters away.
In other words, this Lao Mo is near Lu Wanyin.
Once he discovered Lu Wanyin, the surrounding guards would come and surround her.
