Chapter 435: Need to be dealt with
After getting Xiao Yeyang's promise that they would harvest a lot of gold later, the three siblings of the Yan family walked out of the mine with satisfaction on their faces.
Especially Yan Wenkai, his eyebrows almost flew up. As a moonlighter, he has owed a lot of foreign debts over the years. With this income, he can not only repay the previous foreign debts, but also have a surplus, which will make him comfortable for a long time.
Looking at Daohua walking in front, Yan Wenkai touched Yan Wentao and said with a low laugh: "Our sister is really a lucky star, a fortune-bringing boy."
They couldn't actively ask for benefits, but my sister could. The gold mine was found under my sister's guidance, so even if they asked for some benefits, no one would think it was a problem.
Yan Wentao smiled and nodded, then looked up at Daohua. When he saw the little prince holding his sister's hand tightly, the smile on his face faded. He glanced at Yan Wenkai, who was still very happy, and whispered, "Everyone likes the Fortune Boy. We have to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get kidnapped by others."
Yan Wenkai's eyes suddenly widened and his eyebrows raised, and he snorted, "Whoever dares to kidnap my sister, I will give him a lesson." As he spoke, he clenched his fist fiercely.
These words were spoken in a loud voice, which immediately caused Xiao Yeyang to turn around and look over.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the two of them, narrowed his eyes, said nothing, and carefully continued to walk out holding Daohua's hand.
Yan Wenkai silently nudged Yan Wentao: "The way the young prince looked at us just now wasn't right."
Yan Wentao: "The young prince narrowed his eyes."
Yan Wenkai was stunned: "What's wrong with squinting your eyes?"
Yan Wentao glanced at the idiot and said, "After following the young prince for so many years, haven't you noticed that every time he wants to deal with someone, he squints his eyes?"
Yan Wenkai immediately asked, "Who provokes him? Who is he going to punish?"
Yan Wentao said quietly, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be you and me."
Yan Wenkai smiled, with a look of disbelief: "Third brother, you just like to worry about nothing. We didn't provoke him, why would he punish us?" As he said that, he shook his head and quickly went to chase Daohua and Xiao Yeyang.
Yan Wentao watched silently from behind and couldn't help but cover his head. With such a brother, let alone protecting his sister, he might even push her away.
After a while, Daohua and his group returned to the junction of the branch cave. At this time, the teams that explored other mines also returned one after another.
After listening to everyone's reports, Xiao Yeyang knew that this was a large gold mine. He suppressed his excitement, looked at Daohua with a smile, and said in her ear, "This time, your position as county lord is definitely secure."
Rice flowers suddenly smiled.
When Xiao Yeyang saw her curved eyebrows, his mood also became cheerful.
"Ahem~"
Just then, a sudden cough sounded.
Xiao Yeyang knew it was Yan Wentao without looking back. He couldn't help but snort in his heart. This guy was becoming more and more annoying.
After taking a look at Yan Wenkai, who was still happy and proud that others had not found gold nuggets with higher gold content, he felt more and more that among the three brothers of the Yan family, this guy was the one that suited him the most.
"Let's go out."
Xiao Yeyang took Daohua out, and after a while, they returned to the outside of the cave in the valley.
Afterwards, Xiao Yeyang left the secret guards behind, and the others returned to Ningmen Pass.
On the way, they passed by an unfrozen river. Daohua saw some big fat fish swimming in it and couldn't help but said, "I'm a little hungry. Let's grill some fish."
Yan Wenkai immediately nodded in response: "Okay, okay, I'm just hungry."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the sky, and seeing that it was still early and it wasn't raining today, he nodded in agreement.
These days they go out early in the morning every day and eat the dry food they bring with them at noon. In addition, the food in the military camp is not very good, and Daohua eats very little at each meal. It would be nice to grill some fish to improve the food.
Yan Wenkai and Defu immediately rolled up their sleeves to spear fish, while Yan Wentao and Wang Maner went to collect firewood to make a fire.
When Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua take out a few seasoning packets from her purse, he was a little amused and asked, "You're still carrying this with you?"
Daohua: "Of course, what if we come across something delicious?"
With the joint efforts of everyone, the rice flowers with fish stuck in them were roasted in a short while.
During this time, a secret guard suddenly arrived. Seeing that the secret guard did not come forward, Xiao Yeyang walked over and asked, "What happened?"
The secret guard whispered, "Master, this morning, Commander Wu received a letter from the Emperor and withdrew all the secret sentries stationed in the valley."
Xiao Yeyang's brows suddenly furrowed.
There is a gold mine on the other side of the valley, which should be well protected. What's the meaning of withdrawing the secret sentries?
The secret guard continued, "More than an hour ago, our people discovered that the Jiang family was approaching the river valley."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the secret guard sharply: "Are you sure it's the Jiang family?"
The secret guard nodded and said, despite Xiao Yeyang's pressure, "Commander Wu has come to you several times today."
Xiao Yeyang pondered for a moment, then waved to the secret guard: "Go down, I know what happened."
After the secret guard left, Xiao Yeyang stood alone for a while before walking towards Daohua and the others.
When he came up to her, Daohua saw that something was wrong with his face and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and shook his head: "It's okay."
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang suspiciously, and seeing him squatting in front of the fire and still in the mood to add fuel to the fire, she didn't ask any more questions. The fish in her hand was just grilled, so she handed it to him directly.
Xiao Yeyang originally wanted to let Daohua eat it by herself, but seeing Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao looking at him eagerly, he raised his lips and took the fish with a smile. He raised his eyebrows at the two of them, his eyes revealing, "Although you are my brothers, in Daohua's heart, he is the most important. Look, the grilled fish was given to him first."
Yan Wenkai didn't understand the meaning in Xiao Yeyang's eyes, but he felt his provocation and immediately curled his lips: "Little Prince, you should eat more. After all, you can only eat what Big Sister cooks once in a while, while we can eat it whenever we want."
I gave him a pair of rice flowers first, just to show my care for him.
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's face suddenly fell, while Yan Wentao lowered his head and smiled. This idiot was not wrong this time.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the two of them dimly: "What you are talking about is only for the present. As for the future, we will wait and see."
Hearing this, Yan Wentao's eyes flashed, and he looked up at Xiao Yeyang. Seeing his serious expression, he was a little shocked. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the guard on guard coming over.
"Master, Master Wu is here."
Not long after he finished speaking, Wu Jingyi appeared in everyone's sight.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang and the three Yan siblings lighting a fire and grilling fish, Wu Jingyi said with a smile: "Oh, you seem to be in a good mood."
Yan Wenkai handed the grilled fish in his hand to Wu Jingyi with great discernment: "Master Wu, you must be tired. Come and try our grilled fish. It tastes pretty good."
Wu Jingyi was very pleased with Yan Wenkai's hospitality and took the grilled fish without hesitation: "I think it's good too. I can smell the fragrance from far away."
Seeing that Wu Jingyi only brought one person with him, Yan Wentao knew that this person must be his confidant, so he stood up and gave his grilled fish to that person.
The guard glanced at Wu Jingyi, and seeing that he had made no mistake, he took it with a smile.
Daohua looked at the few people and knew that it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't move and continued to flip and grill the fish with Wang Maner.
Wu Jingyi didn't speak, and Xiao Yeyang didn't rush to eat. He just stood aside and watched him eat.
As a result, Wu Jingyi felt a little uncomfortable, thinking to himself, this kid is very patient, which is very similar to the emperor.
After finishing the fish, Wu Jingyi still felt unsatisfied. He glanced at the freshly grilled fish in Daohua's hand with a somewhat tempted look on his face. Unfortunately, the little girl just gave him a look and gave the fish directly to Defu behind her.
As soon as Defu got the grilled fish, he started to eat it directly. He looked like a starving ghost, which made the other party unable to bear to watch.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang looking straight at him, Wu Jingyi looked away awkwardly and whispered, "Young Prince, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Wu Jingyi, said nothing, and walked aside.
Wu Jingyi followed and told Xiao Yeyang that the emperor was going to reveal the location of the gold mine to the Jiang family.
After listening, Xiao Yeyang immediately looked at Daohua.
Wu Jingyi also looked over, was silent for a moment, and said: "The emperor must have remembered the merit of finding the gold mine. Now he is only forced to do this due to the situation."
Xiao Yeyang understood the emperor's intention after a little thought, but doing so would make Daohua suffer, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He knew that the guy really wanted to be the county lord.
Thinking of the gold mine he had just found, Xiao Yeyang pondered for a moment and said to Wu Jingyi, "I know about this."
Wu Jingyi glanced at Daohua and said, "The young prince must explain to Miss Yan. The emperor has no choice but to do this."
If she was the daughter of an ordinary official, he would definitely not bother so much. The key point is that the girl has two ancestors behind her, and they cannot be offended.
