Chapter 310: Taking Advantage of the Situation
Hearing this, Wen Wan slowly raised her head and stared at He Qing without blinking, with a hint of excitement hidden in her eyes.
The highlight is here.
He Qing excitedly said, "The scale of this mine is even larger than I imagined! This vein of ore is worth more than 100,000 taels of gold!"
When Wen Wan heard this, she looked shocked.
She pulled out a small notebook and wrote, "One hundred thousand taels of gold? General He, what are you talking about?"
He Qing wanted her to be shocked. "You heard me right. To tell you the truth, this time I came to Fengcheng to find the whereabouts of the 100,000 taels of gold for His Majesty."
Money makes the world go round. He just didn't believe that anyone would remain unmoved by so much money.
Sure enough, when the mute peasant woman heard the words "one hundred thousand taels of gold", her eyes lit up.
After setting down the bait, He Qingcai said, "You are the only person I can use. If you can do your job well for me, we can keep 50,000 taels of gold and tell the court that we only found 50,000 taels. Then we can split the profits 50-50, giving each 25,000 taels. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
He spoke so much in a very eloquent manner and even spent 25,000 taels of gold at once, which was indeed a huge sum of money.
Wen Wan finally understood that He Qing was trying to bribe her with huge profits.
That’s right, all the people he brought into the valley are now useless.
If he doesn't count on her, who else can he count on?
However, with He Qing's way of doing things, after the deed is done, let alone the gold, it would be good enough if he could leave her with an intact body.
Wen Wan pretended to be moved by him and wrote: "At your command, General!"
He Qing nodded in satisfaction and asked, "You came out before me. Did you see my other two men?"
Wen Wan thought for a moment and wrote, "I didn't see it."
He Qing's face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, they should be controlled by Yu Qiting."
Yu Qiting?
Wen Wan's expression changed. Did He Qing guess Wen En's identity?
He Qing saw her confusion and explained, "By the way, let me remind you that the feminine-looking young man from Mobei next to Lord Min is, if nothing unexpected happens, the young prince of Mobei, Yu Qiting. You must be vigilant when you come into contact with him."
He guessed it right.
Wen Wan nodded calmly, indicating that she remembered it.
He Qing then instructed: "In the next two days, find an opportunity to see if you can leave the valley. If you can, go outside the valley and find some of our people to come in."
Wen Wan nodded again.
He Qing was already very weak, and forcing himself to say so many words was already very strenuous.
After he finished saying what he needed to say, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Wen Wan then left the room.

In the distance, Wen En saw her coming out and immediately went forward to greet her.
"Sister, he said I look feminine!"
Winn had a cold expression and spoke in a sinister tone.
She wasn't surprised at all that he would eavesdrop outside the door.
only……
Why does she feel like her child has been bullied and is complaining to the parents?
"Sister, do I look feminine?" Wen En asked stubbornly.
Wen Wan: "Uh... no, not at all. Our En En is handsome and has unparalleled looks. He is also very good at martial arts. He can knock down 800 He Qings with one punch!"
When praising someone, be generous and gentle and don't hesitate to use words of praise.
Wen En curled his lips, "Sister is good at coaxing people."
Wen Wan smiled shamelessly, flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes there are.
"No, I'm telling the truth. In my mind, this is how our Enen is."
Although he knew that she was coaxing him, and that his sister might have put so much effort into coaxing him, Winn was still very happy.
"Sister, those words He Qing said just now in the room were meant for me, right?"
Wen En thought of this, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "He Qing is already half a cripple, yet he still refuses to behave. He threw out the bait of 100,000 taels of gold to make us afraid to act rashly."
"With such a huge fortune, he was sure we would be interested. As long as we were interested, we wouldn't kill him immediately."
Wen En raised his lips coldly, "Does he think everyone is like him, with only money in their eyes? Sister, just say the word and I'll kill him immediately."
Wen Wan: "You are worthy of being my valued brother. Look at this firm will that is not tempted by money! You are really great!"
Winn: "...Sister, I told you not to treat me like a child. You're praising me too much."
Wenwan coughed twice awkwardly and waved her hand.
"That's not important. Let's get down to business."
"Killing He Qing would certainly put an end to everything, but keeping him alive is more useful than killing him now."
As she spoke, she waved to Winn and whispered a few words into his ear.

In the next two days, Min Zi asked the doctor to treat He Qing's injuries carefully, and also arranged for someone to make a special soup for him to replenish his qi and blood, as if he was determined to save his life.
After He Qing rested for two days, his complexion became better.
After Wen Wan pretended to walk around the valley for a few times, she came to He Qing that afternoon.
She wrote in her little notebook, "General, I've tried all sorts of excuses these past two days, but the valley is guarded everywhere. Without Lord Min's order, I can't leave."
"As expected." He Qing frowned. "Never mind. We'll have to find another way. Go find Lord Min and tell him... I have a business deal to discuss with their prince."
Wen Wan nodded and turned to look for someone.
After a while, she led Winn back into the house.
As soon as Wen En walked in, he had a sour face and seemed to dislike He Qing very much.
He lazily sat down in the chair by the window.
"As expected of General He, you actually guessed my identity. Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"
When in He Qing's life had he ever been so blatantly ignored by someone?
He was very angry, but he still managed to put on a smile.
"I want to discuss a business deal with His Highness."
Wen En was very impatient. "If you have something to say, please say it. Don't waste time."
He Qing, who had been met with a cold shoulder, twitched his lips and said with a stiff upper lip:
"Does your highness know Shen Yu?"
Wen En glanced at him and said, "Isn't this nonsense? How many of our Mobei people have been killed by the border town garrison led by General Shen? Don't you have any idea?"
He Qing: “…”
He had long heard that the Mobei prince had a moody personality, and now, having just met him, he knew that the rumors were indeed true.
With his personality that can kill people with every word he says, if he wasn't the prince of Mobei, he would have been beaten to death as soon as he went out.
Winn poured a glass of water irritably, took a sip, and slammed the glass on the table.
"General He, are you going to tell me the truth or not?"
"You are a great general of the dynasty, but you act like a woman. Why are you being so hypocritical?"
He Qing: “…”
Before he even opened his mouth, he was already being criticized to the point of doubting his life.
Wen Wan, who was standing in the corner, also secretly curled the corners of her mouth.
She finally realized that Enen was a vengeful person.
It must be because He Qing said he looked feminine two days ago, and the child was unhappy about it, so he took the opportunity to vent his anger.
