Jing Yuchen had never revealed the news, so Ni Yueshan didn't know whether Xiao Chuer had spread it. During the break in the carriage, she got off and walked towards Xiao Chuer.
"Did you attack the villagers nearby?"
Xiao Chuer looked in one direction hesitantly, and Jing Yuchen didn't tell Ni Yueshan.
She lowered her eyes, then said, "It started early."
Ni Yueshan was stunned. After all, this was the first time he did something so evil, and he still felt a little guilty.
Finally she said, "Good efficiency."
Then Ni Yueshan walked away, wanting to say a few more words, but not knowing what to say.
The group continued on their journey. When they reached the familiar mountain, Ni Yueshan and the others felt a little scared, afraid of the risk factor on the mountain.
Helping each other, they successfully crossed the mountain, and then there was the lake. With Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng there, they didn't have to worry about not being able to get the boat out.
After that, they will continue their journey by boat. After passing the plain, they will find the gold mine hidden under the deep pool.
"Okay, we are almost there. There are no traces of many people here. It seems that Yi Wenxuan really didn't tell King Tufan the news. It won't take too long for my father's people to rush over. Let's find a secret place to stay first!" Jing Yuchen suggested, then walked away to search for a habitable place.
Ni Yueshan and others also dispersed to find a place to stay temporarily.
"What does your father intend to do after acquiring the resources here? Strengthen the country and then send troops to conquer it?"
"Perhaps."
Jing Yuchen looked very solemn, and he disagreed with what the emperor did in his heart.
Ni Yueshan continued to ask, "If he defeats Tufan, do you think he will become ambitious and turn around to attack Canglie?"
Although Ni Yueshan's words were just speculation, Jing Yuchen felt that it was possible.
"Don't think too much for now. I believe that everything will be solved."
Afterwards, they found a small cave. Although it was far less comfortable than the cave they had in the past, it could shelter them from the wind and rain. Later, the emperor's troops arrived one after another. The poor people were dressed in tattered clothes, covered in dirt, with messy hair. If they were holding a bamboo stick, they would be mistaken for beggars.
Jing Yuchen was standing outside the cave talking to someone. The gold mine here was mined by people like them.
Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng's task is to supervise the work, and if the King of Tufan finds this place, Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng are also responsible for resolving the matter.
So it's a thankless task and very difficult to do.
They would split the huge stones, then preserve the gold and smelt it. Although the smelting model was crude, as long as the gold had a shape, it would not be easy to arouse suspicion.
In addition, there are lakes, mountains and long mountain roads. In order to successfully transport a piece of gold, one needs to work non-stop for three days and three nights.
After a few days of mining, there were no accidents. Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong began to look around for edible fruits, wild mushrooms and the like.
Someone rushed to the Tufan Palace and reported, "Your Majesty, we have discovered that many people in the city have been infected with the plague. It is spreading very quickly, and many ministers have also been infected!"
The king searched for Yi Wenxuan for two whole months but couldn't find him. What he got was the news that a plague had spread in the city?
He frowned tightly, then said, "Then gather all the doctors to research a prescription!"
"yes!"
The person who reported the disease left in a hurry. However, even though doctors from all over the city were trying their best to research the disease, they had no information to find the correct prescription. The disease became more serious, and the speed of its spread naturally became faster and faster, and more and more people were infected.
Until the imperial city was forced to close the city gates, allowing only exit but not entry.
Because of the plague, people in the imperial city will isolate themselves, and there will be very few people on the streets. King Tufan will not have the mind to continue thinking about the gold mine and searching everywhere.
However, if we do not want the plague to kill people so quickly, we must get the correct prescription and then provide treatment within three or four days after the plague appears. If we only rely on three or four days to let the plague spread, it will not spread far or quickly unless a large number of people are infected.
Jing Yuchen and others at the gold mine have only dug out a small area. If this continues, how can they complete the huge project in less than half a year?
If it goes undetected for half a month, I can give it a try, but if it goes on for half a year...
Jing Yuchen sat on the top of the mountain, feeling somewhat worried. Shao Lecheng approached slowly and said, "We should have had someone fake it and moved the real gold and stone to a certain place. If the people sent by the emperor to investigate had found that the gold and stone were very scarce, I think the emperor would not be interested and would have sent people to mine them. Why should we worry here?"
Jing Yuchen turned his head and looked at her. He asked with a complicated expression: "If I tell you that I deliberately let Xiao Chuer spread the plague in order to buy them time and avoid being discovered and causing a war, what will you do? Will you blame me?"
Although Jing Yuchen spoke calmly, Shao Lecheng's heart was in turmoil. He looked at Jing Yuchen in astonishment: "What did you say? Spreading the plague? Such a wicked thing?"
He was a little hesitant to believe it, and Jing Yuchen nodded.
Shao Lecheng didn't know what to say for a long time: "Then, the plague is coming with great force, and the casualties will be heavy. How is this different from going to war?"
"Xiao Chuer has a prescription. After the plague appears, it will be circulated within three to four days. Recovery will be quick, but there will still be sacrifices!"
