"Just tell me if it's thirty-eight or thirty-nine."
Flowing Flame: ...
"Your Highness, let's get down to business first."
When Yin Zhe sent his first letter seeking help, he was still in Mingyan County, and the information he conveyed was very limited.
The investigation into the karst cave dam and blast furnace has made significant progress in the past two days.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't explain much and directly handed over the handwritten letter left by Yin Zhe.
Liu Yan took the book and read it quickly, but soon his brows furrowed.
The letter emphasized the estimated amount of illegally mined iron ore, enough to equip more than two thousand cavalry.
The two shared the same thought, and the first place that came to mind was the North.
This is a big deal, because in addition to illegal mining and iron smelting, transportation is also a major issue.
Such a large-scale smuggling route could transport heavy armor, so other things would be no problem at all.
If Yin Zhe hadn't made it clear that he had already sent out a second wave of messengers, he would have wanted to return to the capital immediately.
After reading the handwritten note, his hand trembled and instantly turned to dust, completely destroying the evidence.
"Your Highness, I'll go and inspect the mine first."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Knowing that investigating the case would be the top priority, Qin Zhaoyue was mentally prepared.
After everyone left, he instructed the kitchen to prepare more dishes, and feeling at ease, he had a great appetite.
However, noticing that Yao Guang's expression was a bit off, she asked, "Why do you still look so wary?"
Yao Guang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, this Lord Liu Yan has a bad reputation..."
"Oh?" Qin Zhaoyue immediately became interested. "Tell me in detail."
"Um... he likes to flirt with girls."
Qin Zhaoyue's eyes lit up instantly; she knew those peach blossom eyes were no pushovers.
"Isn't it inappropriate for you to say such things behind my back?"
The sudden noise from inside the room startled everyone. "How could you be eavesdropping!"
Liu Yan chuckled lightly. "You can't even hear me talking badly about him?"
"Little Yaoguang, you misunderstand me. I've been through countless flowers without a single petal clinging to me."
Tsk... Qin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "That's what all scumbags say."
"Why won't you touch me? Do you not like it? Or is it not okay?"
Flowing Flame: ...
No, is this something a princess or a young lady should say?
"What are you standing there for? Aren't we going to the mine?"
"Um...we're in a hurry, where is the Red Rock Mine again?"
Having ascertained the location, the flames disappeared once more.
This time, no one spoke, and they worked silently for a while.
Qin Zhaoyue suddenly called out, "Commander Liuyan?" "Handsome old man?" "Not touching you?"
Well, he probably really isn't here this time.
She turned around quickly, her eyes wide open. "Quick, tell me in detail, did he flirt with your mother?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Guang immediately curled her lip, "Tch, he doesn't have the guts..."
