Chapter 427, Sanchuan Valley
After dinner, Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and asked, "Are you going back to the capital, or to Taohua Village?"
Daohua looked over and asked, "What?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late now. I'll take you home."
Daohua quickly shook her head: "I'm not going back."
Xiao Yeyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why, do you want to play here for a few more days?"
Daohua blinked: "Is it not possible?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and asked, "Are you serious or are you kidding?"
Rice Flower: "Of course I'm serious."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while: "I'm very happy that you came to see me. Now that you've seen me and applied medicine to me, you should go back."
He wanted to spend more time with Daohua, but letting her, a girl, stay outside overnight would damage her reputation.
Rice Flower: "Who said I came to see you? I came to find Jingcao."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment. Seeing her evasive gaze, he didn't say anything. He smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I'll be the one to find the thorn grass?"
Daohua glanced at him and said, "You're already a wounded person now. How can I still count on you?"
Xiao Yeyang felt that he was being disliked. He looked at Daohua, was silent for a while, and asked again: "Are you really not going back?"
Daohua shook her head: "My third and fourth brothers will be here later." With two brothers accompanying her, this was not too unusual for her.
Xiao Yeyang turned and looked at Defu.
Defu immediately said, "There's a clean room next door. No one else here dares to come here."
Xiao Yeyang pointed at Daohua and Wang Maner and said, "Come over here, the two of them. No one will notice anything unusual, right?"
Defu shook his head: "The Third Master and the Fourth Master took Miss Yan on a small path, and no one saw them."
Daohua interrupted, "Don't worry. Even if others saw us, they would just think Man'er and I were servants. I was more worried about being discovered than you were, so I was very careful along the way. Besides, we have Yanying here. With him covering our retreat, no one will notice."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang nodded, then walked out of the room, called his secret guards, and told them to keep an eye on the yard and not let outsiders in, and then he went back into the house.
"Get them two sets of soldiers' clothes."
Defu nodded and turned to leave the room.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile: "Since you're not leaving, I'll accompany you for a stroll."
Daohua shook her head: "Forget it today. Your fever has just subsided. What if you catch a cold outside and the fever comes back?" She glanced at Xiao Yeyang with dissatisfaction, "Your wound is so big, why don't you rest well?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at the sky and said, "It's still early, what are we doing staying in the house?"
Daohua: "You go ahead and do your thing. As for me," she said, picking up the Ningmenguan Geography on the bedside table, "I'll just read."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "You also said that I am a patient now, so what can I be busy with?"
Daohua was silent for a moment, then looked at the map in her hand. "Here's a map of the area near Ningmen Pass. Can you show me where you found the thorn grass?"
As he said this, he put the geography on the table and sat on the stool.
Xiao Yeyang nodded, sat down next to Daohua, and started pointing out the land to her while looking through the geography book.
"There are in this valley."
“There are also some at the foot of this mountain.”
“And here, here”
"Slow down, I haven't finished reading it yet."
Daohua held down the pages of the book to prevent Xiao Yeyang from turning the pages, and looked forward from time to time.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers and said with a smile, "Okay, take your time to look at them. Tell me when you're done and I'll point them out to you somewhere else." As he spoke, he propped his cheek with his hand and looked at the rice flowers silently.
Wang Man'er stood aside, looking at the two people who exuded a warm and peaceful atmosphere, and silently retreated to the door.
Hearing the little prince talking to his daughter in a voice full of doting, Wang Man'er couldn't help but turn her head to look into the room. Seeing the two of them reading with their heads close together, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
She had long noticed that the young prince liked girls.
As for the girl, she must like the little prince, otherwise, she wouldn't be unable to sleep after hearing that the little prince was injured. Last night, she heard the girl tossing and turning all night.
Suddenly, Wang Man'er thought of Qin Xiaoliu, and thought of how he always spoke to her in a low voice like the little prince, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
When Defu came back with the soldiers' clothes, he saw Wang Man'er standing at the door with a silly smile. He wanted to go over and tease her, but when he got to the door, he saw Daohua and Xiao Yeyang quietly flipping through a book in the house, and immediately gave up the idea of teasing her.
We must not disturb the master and Miss Yan.
"Miss Man'er, come with me to clean up the room next door. You need to sleep tonight." Defu whispered to Wang Man'er.
Wang Maner nodded and followed Defu to the next room.
In the room, Daohua quickly looked at the place where she found the thorn grass. Something flashed through her mind, but unfortunately she couldn't grasp it.
Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua frowning, deep in thought, and a little crazy at times, with rich and cute expressions. He found it very rare and just quietly admired her changing expressions.
Daohua suddenly raised her head, looking at Xiao Yeyang with sparkling eyes: "Xiao Yeyang, let me ask you, is there a valley formed by the erosion of a river near Ningmen Pass?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Yes."
Daohua's eyes lit up: "Where is that river valley? Please point it out to me."
Xiao Yeyang flipped through the geographical records and quickly clicked on one of the pages.
Daohua quickly compared the location of the river valley with the place where the thorn grass was found before, and said excitedly: "Xiao Yeyang, look, the places where you found the thorn grass are all outside this river valley, aren't they?"
Xiao Yeyang took the geographical map and compared it carefully, and found that it was indeed true.
Daohua quickly said to Xiao Yeyang, "When you're looking for gold mines, don't just look on the ground, look in the river too."
Xiao Yeyang's eyes lit up. He had read in the county annals that some gold mines were buried at the bottom of the river. Thinking of this, he immediately stood up.
Daohua quickly grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Yeyang: "I have to take people to investigate."
Daohua hesitated: "But you are still injured."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "I didn't go into the river myself. I just watched from the side."
Daohua hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I want to go too."
When Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua holding his hand, he immediately shook her hand back. He hadn't seen her for several days because he was looking for gold mines.
Now that he had seen her, he didn't want to be separated from her, and he didn't want to leave her alone in the castle. Thinking that no one was going to explore the valley, it was relatively safe, he nodded in agreement: "Okay." As he said that, he pulled her out of the room.
Defu and Wang Maner heard the noise and quickly walked out of the next room.
Xiao Yeyang snapped his fingers in the air, and immediately two secret guards appeared in the yard: "Let our people gather at Sanchuan Valley."
The secret guard nodded, jumped up, and quickly disappeared.
Then, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua and left the fort through a back door where there were no soldiers patrolling.
After traveling through the mountains for more than an hour, Xiao Yeyang brought Daohua to the only valley in Ningmen Pass - Sanchuan Valley.
"Be careful, there are people ahead."
As soon as they approached the river valley, Xiao Yeyang realized something was wrong and quickly pulled Daohua to hide behind a big rock.
