Chapter 305: Mouse Enters the Hole
When you are floating around in society, how can you not have the ability to speak differently to different people and different things to different people?
Wen Wan is no exception.
She pulled out a small notebook and wrote, "To be honest, my master is a hermit, and I have sworn a solemn oath not to reveal any information about him."
When He Qing heard this, he realized that there really was an expert, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
Wen Wan put the notebook aside, picked up the chopsticks and started eating meat.
Apart from anything else, the meat grilled by the people of Mobei is really unique.
I haven't eaten Mobei-style barbecue for two years. Wenwan took a bite and her mouth was filled with the aroma of sesame.
Her eating manners were not very elegant. Seeing this, He Qing frowned slightly and a look of contempt flashed across his face.
After all, she is just a peasant woman. Even if she has some abilities, her inherent lowliness cannot be changed.
It's just a plate of barbecue, but you act like you've never seen the world before.
He Qing complained in his heart, but he still looked warm and considerate, and asked someone to take another plate of barbecue.
"I understand that a hermit would be reluctant to enter the world easily. But wouldn't it be a shame if Madam's abilities were buried in the mountains?"
He Qing gradually got to the point, "If my lady doesn't mind, once this matter is over, please come with me to the Imperial Capital. I will definitely help you to display your strengths and achieve great things."
If it were someone else, with the general's personal support, such a good thing would definitely be accepted without hesitation.
But Wen Wan was very calm. Only she knew that her ability to change the situation was just a little trick to take advantage of the situation.
She was holding incense and muttering to herself for a long time. It seemed that she was chanting scriptures, but in fact she was observing the celestial phenomena.
Although visual observation is certainly not as accurate as that using scientific instruments, as dark clouds drifted over, the trees in the distance swayed, and the strong wind formed waves on the tops of the branches, which were very obvious from far to near.
Sure enough, a flash of lightning was seen after a while.
She pretended to make hand gestures after seeing the lightning. She was taking advantage of the scientific law that when lightning occurs, light travels faster than sound, so people see the lightning first and then hear the sound.
Therefore, she had the opportunity to perform a tricky show.
However, although she felt guilty, Wen Wan was very supportive and showed interest in He Qing's temptation.
She took out a handkerchief, wiped her hands, picked up the pen and started writing again.
"As a woman, I dare not think of achieving great things, but if I could have the opportunity to earn more money, I'm sure my husband would be very happy."
He Qing's mouth twitched, and he secretly despised her again in his heart.
A peasant woman is a peasant woman, short-sighted, and only thinks about vulgar money.
"Of course, the money will not be missing from Madam."
He Qing's eyes flashed, and he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket.
"My He family may not have anything else, but we do have plenty of money. If Madam wants money, then you've found the right person."
Wen Wan's eyes fell on the banknote in He Qing's hand and she reached out to take it.
He Qing withdrew his hand, "Don't be anxious, Madam."
Wen Wan looked up at him in feigned confusion.
He Qing said, "Since Madam wants money, why don't you join my He family as an aide? As long as Madam agrees, I will pay you the same monthly salary as today. What do you think?"
Wen Wan smiled and nodded repeatedly.
He Qing then handed the banknote over again.
Wen Wan took the banknotes and began to count them in front of He Qing.
Unexpectedly, He Qing was so generous and gave her three hundred taels directly.
He Qing noticed her vulgar little action, narrowed his eyes, and gave a subtle wink to the follower beside him.
The attendant then went to get pen and ink.
This means that Wen Wan should sign the contract on the spot.
Wen Wan was not in a hurry at all. After all, she had a fake identity now, so she could just write down a random name to get by.
As for the future...
Wen Wan lowered her head, and a cold look flashed across her face.
Before the contract was even written, a loud "boom" was heard outside the house.
The earth-shaking sound caused the row of cabins to sway.
Some dust fell from the roof and landed on the barbecue, instantly killing one's appetite.
Wenwan's expression collapsed and she stared at the barbecue in front of her with regret.
She's not full yet...
He Qing caught sight of her expression out of the corner of his eye and was speechless.
It’s already this late, and you’re still concerned about a plate of barbecue?
"The cave collapsed!"
Outside the house, someone was shouting in panic.
He Qing's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Go out and take a look!"
The group immediately walked out.
It was already dark at this time, and torches were burning everywhere in the valley, so it was still bright enough to see what was going on inside.
A lot of people gathered in front of the entrance of the mine. Minz stood at the front of the crowd and reached out to hold the arm of a young man.
Wen Wan recognized the young man at a glance. Who else could it be but Wen En?
Winn broke free from Minz's hand and looked like he was going to rush into the mine.
Minzi was terrified and kept trying to persuade them, "No! There's a landslide going on inside, you can't go in!"
Wen En's voice was icy. "We have to go in even if we don't want to! Master Zhang is still in the cave! Without him, who will help us find the remaining veins?"
The reason why Mobei was able to find the mineral vein in such a short time and was more than one step ahead of Duan Dynasty was because they got a rare person who could find mineral veins.
"Minz," Winn said in a serious tone, "You know how important these mineral veins are to us! Master Zhang...can't be in any danger."
Hearing this, Min Zi, holding his hand, unconsciously flinched for a moment.
At that moment, Winn seized the opportunity and rushed into the cave without thinking.
Minz came to his senses and tried to stop him again, but he couldn't even grab a piece of his clothes.
"No! No! No!"
Min Zi was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, but he didn't dare to reveal Wen En's identity in front of He Qing and others.
Wen Wan was far away and could only watch Wen En disappear into the mine.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, her expression changed in an instant, and she turned around and gestured to He Qing beside her.
He Qing didn't understand.
Wen Wan hurriedly took out a small notebook and wrote in a sloppy manner.
"Master Zhang is my master. I've only learned the basics. My master is the expert in prospecting for minerals. With the expert, you get the mineral vein!"
After finishing writing, she didn't care about He Qing's reaction and rushed forward.
When she passed by Min Zi, she stopped him and exchanged glances with him.
Min Zi was about to take people in to find His Highness, but when he received Wen Wan's suggestive look, he stopped and casually pointed at a few guards nearby.
"Follow her! Do whatever she says!"
"You must...you must bring the person back safely!"
Several guards responded in unison and quickly caught up with Wen Wan.
The incident happened too quickly, leaving He Qing no time to think.
He only knew that Wen Wan was adaptable and could find mineral veins, which was already very capable. But she actually said that Master Zhang in the cave was her master?
Could it be that, as she said, as long as we capture Master Zhang, we will be the first to find the mineral vein?
Fortune and wealth are sought in danger, and a general like He Qing, who walks on swords, is adventurous.
"Walk!"
He Qing gave an order, selected a few imperial guards and followed them into the mine.
