Chapter 98 There is something wrong with the gold and silver
The group climbed over mountains and crossed numerous peaks, and finally saw the gate of the bandit village.
"It's right here." The only person Liu Yuan spared alive was named Li Si. It was precisely because he was afraid of death that he confessed everything.
As if they had expected them to come back, many people had gathered at the door, each holding a knife and looking ferocious.
Liu Yuan whispered to the back, "Two little brats, follow me closely and don't run around. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, weird uncle~"
When the word "weird uncle" came out, Liu Yuan was filled with hatred and secretly made a decision in his heart that when he returned, no matter what means of coercion or inducement he used, he would correct the way the little princess was addressed.
The village here is called Dafengzhai. As for why it is called this name, it is said that the boss was blown here by a strong wind, so it was given this name.
If Liu Yuan were to say, if a village is blown by a strong wind, it is called Dafengzhai, then should it be called Dapengzhai if it is blown by a shed?
Tacky!
The leader was the boss of Dafengzhai, the legendary figure who was blown over by the strong wind.
I thought he was a burly and strong man, but he turned out to be a weak scholar. I guess he didn't have much flesh on his body. No wonder he was blown away by the strong wind.
The frail scholar was named "Ningjiang." He stood out from the crowd, both in appearance and stature. For someone like him to be able to build such a large village and manage these desperate criminals was probably more than he seemed.
"Master Ning, nice to meet you." Although he came to carry treasures, Liu Yuan still observed all the necessary etiquette.
Ning Jiang, dressed in white and holding a folding fan, looked like a gentleman, with a warm smile on his face. He bowed and said, "Excuse me, Generals. This time, it was Dafengzhai that was at fault. Fortunately, you two generals did not blame me and came in person. I am extremely grateful."
Liu Yuan exchanged a few more pleasantries with the other party, and the two sides agreed to go and see the treasure first.
The people from Dafeng Village quietly surrounded the four of them in a circle. Xiao Mingxuan held Xihe in one hand and had to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
The four of them were welcomed into a remote courtyard. Just the dozen or so steps they took were already guarded by four levels of people.
"There are so many people here. It seems that Boss Ning attaches great importance to this batch of things." Liu Yuan asked casually.
Ning Jiang laughed it off and said respectfully, "After all, the number is huge, so it's best to be careful."
Liu Yuan smiled and said nothing more.
"This is it."
Several people stood at the door. Ning Jiang stepped forward and said, "Open the door!"
"yes!"
The door swung open, stirring up a cloud of dust. Inside were several large boxes. Every time one was opened, the room became brighter.
Xihe was lying on the edge of a box, staring at a box of gold with envy.
Who would understand? Although Concubine Xian gave Xihe a few boxes of gold to play with, they were the size of stones, not as big as this one!
Xihe could no longer hide her greed for money, and stretched out her little hand eagerly, wanting to touch the big piece of gold.
Unexpectedly, just when his hand was about to touch the gold, it was blocked by another big hand.
As soon as the little girl looked up, she met Ning Jiang's smiling eyes.
"Can't I touch it?"
Ning Jiang was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "It's not that you can't touch it, but this gold has been stored for too long, and it's probably stained with a lot of dust. It's better to wait until someone wipes off the dust before playing with it, so as not to dirty your hands."
Ning Jiang's words were well-reasoned, so Xihe had no choice but to put down her hand and retreat into Xiao Mingxuan's arms, "Okay, then I won't touch you~"
Ning Jiang nodded with a smile.
Not allowing him to move, Liu Yuan roughly counted the number. After exchanging a glance with Xu Qingcheng, he turned to Ning Jiang and said, "The quantity is fine. If the boss doesn't mind, we'll notify someone to come and carry it."
"Very good, very good." Ning Jiang opened his folding fan, covering half of his face. "It's just that the terrain of Yuanfeng Mountain is complicated, and it takes a lot of effort to get up there. Why don't you rest here for a while? I'll have someone prepare some good wine and food to entertain you, our distinguished guests. It's our little token of appreciation."
"No need to go to so much trouble. Master Ning, thank you for being so polite." Xu Qingcheng leaned against the iron pillar beside him and said lightly.
"It's not a bother, it's my duty. I hope you can do me a favor."
Ning Jiang's words were polite, but left no room for refusal.
Xu Qingcheng hated socializing the most. He opened his mouth to refuse, but Liu Yuan held him back tightly.
After a moment, Liu Yuan chuckled and walked out nonchalantly, "Then it's Master Lao Ning."
"No, no, please come in." Seeing that the other party agreed, the smile on Ning Jiang's face became more obvious.
Ning Jiang was about to catch up, but just as he took a step, he found that his clothes were pulled.
He lowered his head and looked at Shan Xihe with a slightly pleading look.
"Uncle, where can you find it here... I think..." The little girl tugged at her skirt, her face flushed, and she was extremely shy.
Ning Jiang knew it almost subconsciously, and then smiled knowingly, "Yes, I'll send someone to take you there."
"No need." Xiao Mingxuan stepped forward, pulled the little girl back, and said, "The boss just needs to tell us where it is, and I'll go with her."
Ning Jiang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the two children, each as tall as a garlic sprout, and couldn't help but laugh. "That's fine. Go out from here, turn left, and keep going. You'll find the end. But don't stay too long. Go to the main hall early. Uncle has prepared delicious food for you."
"Okay, uncle, you are such a nice person." Xihe smiled sweetly at the other party, with a simple and ignorant tone.
Liu Yuan also happened to turn around. He didn't say anything, but just reminded him, "Be careful with your sister. She's too naughty. Don't let her fall."
Xiao Mingxuan looked up and met Liu Yuan Rumo's eyes, nodded slightly, "I understand."
"Go ahead."
Ning Jiang looked at the two children and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
You are really going backwards. They are just two kids. What big waves can they make?
"Little brother~I..." Xihe had just opened her mouth when Xiao Mingxuan pinched her palm lightly.
"I know what you want to say. Don't be anxious. Take two more steps forward." Xiao Mingxuan pretended to be calm and walked forward with Xihe. Suddenly, he turned around and glanced at Liu Yuan in the opposite direction.
There is no reason why Liu Yuan cannot see what they can see.
Ning Jiang was not on guard against the two unweaned cubs and did not send anyone to follow them. When they reached a remote place, the two of them stopped.
After making sure that no one was around, Xihe whispered, "Little brother, there seems to be something wrong with the gold and silver."
