There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Wu Jingyi soon received a reply letter from the emperor, and when he saw the content of the letter, the first thought in his heart was the same as that of Eunuch An and Wei Qi, that is, Daohua's dream of being a county head is about to be broken.

However, it is not a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse.

He understood the emperor's intentions. The Jiang family was the most powerful relative of the dynasty, and Duan Wang was the most favored prince of the previous emperor. The influence of both parties in the dynasty was not small. .

The little girl indirectly helped the emperor, plus the relationship with the two Taohua An, this credit will definitely be remembered by the emperor.

In this world, is there anything more precious than letting the emperor owe favor?

After pondering for a while, Wu Jingyi summoned his personal guard and asked, "Is the little prince still looking for medicinal herbs nearby these days?"

The guard nodded: "It's still there, I seem to have found a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum a few days ago. Because of this, I have been wandering more frequently these days."

Wu Jingyi smiled and said, "It's good luck. The medicinal materials that are more than a hundred years old are treasures." As he spoke, he touched his chin and pondered.

The old man from Taohua An is a master of medicine, and the skill of collecting medicine and looking for medicine is good. Miss Yan is his apprentice, and he must have obtained the true biography.

It is said that Jingcao is also a kind of medicinal material, shouldn't the little girl look for it as a medicinal material?

Don't say it, it's really possible.

To be honest, he was a little embarrassed about Daohua finding Jingcao. After all, so many of them had been searching outside for so long, and the little girl just came around and found it. In this comparison, It seemed they were incompetent.

However, with the ability of the Taohua An old man to find medicine, everything makes sense.

Although he also believed in luck, he was more convinced that only capable people could do things that ordinary people couldn't do.

"Let's go, lead the way ahead, I'll go and talk to the little prince."

Unfortunately, after wandering around, Xiao Yeyang and his party were not found.

Wu Jingyi had no choice but to go back to Hegukou and wait for them.

At the same time, in a hidden valley more than ten miles away from the river valley, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua were looking curiously at the slightly deep cave in front of them.

Around the entrance of the cave is covered with dense wattle grass.

Yan Wenkai widened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Is there a gold mine here?"

Daohua looked at her fourth brother speechlessly: "Fourth brother, there are no outsiders here, you don't need to be so quiet."

Yan Wenkai smiled embarrassingly, touched his nose and said, "Isn't this just a matter of habit?"

Yan Wentao looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, and finally understood why the two would rather be frozen than wandering in the mountains these days.

Behind the dark guard, Sun Changze stared at the cave with a frown. After a while, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said to Xiao Yeyang: "Little Prince, I don't know if there is any danger in the cave, the four of us are willing to go first. Probe."

Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and after pondering for a while, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, then let's go explore first."

There are a lot of guards around him, but these people are either given by the uncle of the emperor, or by the uncle, or by the person from the Merlin Courtyard, and there are not many who really only follow his orders.

This time to explore the gold mine, he only brought his own people. It is difficult to cultivate a heartfelt guard. He does not want to lose one. Since the Sun brothers want to explore the way, he is naturally willing to give them a chance.

During this period of time, he took the brothers of the Sun family. First, he was worried about detaining people directly in the barracks cell. If the news of the gold mine leaked, it would affect his uncle;

The second is that Sun Changze is still a bit brainy and courageous. He wants to fight for a life for the four brothers, and he is willing to give it to them. It is just for them to do dangerous things like this kind of road exploration.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang's agreement, Sun Changze felt relieved, looked at the three brothers, and motioned them to enter the cave.

"and many more!"

Daohua suddenly stopped the four of them, took out a bottle of medicine from her purse and handed it to Sun Changze: "Nine times out of ten there will be snakes and worms in the cave. If you rub this on your body, the snakes and worms will not dare to get close."

Sun Changze glanced at Daohua, and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you." After speaking, he stretched out his hands to take the medicine bottle, and quickly walked into the cave with his three brothers.

After the four of them entered the cave, Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua: "Such a good medicine, you are willing."

Daohua smiled: "People help us do things, we have to protect their safety."

Xiao Yeyang said with a smile: "Don't underestimate those four people, they are much more familiar with the mountains and forests than we are."

Yan Wenkai nodded: "Then Sun Changze's martial arts are really good."

Yan Wentao took over the words: "You're also very courageous." Several times he saw Sun Changze and the head guard staring at him with dissatisfaction on their faces. If it weren't for the disparity in strength between the two sides, he believed that this person would definitely lead the people and guards to fight. Up.

Now, although he is afraid of the power of the little prince, he is secretly looking for opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so as to obtain a chance to be released.

After a while, there was the sound of a stone knocking in the cave. This was the safety signal agreed by Sun Changze. Xiao Yeyang looked at the chief guard: "You bring a few people in to have a look, be careful."

Obviously, he did not fully believe the four of Sun Changze.

The captain of the guard nodded and quickly led people in.

After about half an hour, a guard ran out with excitement: "Master, go in and see, this is a gold mine!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions were lifted.

Xiao Yeyang grabbed Daohua who was about to rush into the cave behind Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao: "Take it easy, it's pitch black inside, don't bump, I'll hold you."

Daohua was a little reluctant, but Xiao Yeyang looked like he couldn't help but take back the refusal and urged, "Then hurry up!"

Only then did Xiao Yeyang lead Daohua into the cave, Defu and Wang Maner walked on both sides with torches.

The cave is very rugged, and the road surface is also very uneven. Under the illumination of the fire, everyone can see the shining golden light from time to time.

The lights were unknown. Even though Daohua had walked very carefully, she still stepped on something soft and slippery. Daohua glanced at it and screamed, hooking Xiao Yeyang's neck and jumping to him. On the body: "Snake, there is a snake!"

She was most afraid of this kind of mollusk. When she saw it, she had goosebumps all over her body, and she even broke out in cold sweat.

Xiao Yeyang was startled by Daohua's scream, and quickly hugged her back to the side.

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao rushed over quickly, and when they saw it was a dead snake, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big sister, don't be afraid. It's a dead snake. It seems that the person in front of you killed it."

Daohua hurriedly said: "Then take it away, don't let me see it."

Yan Wenkai kicked the snake into the dark river with one kick: "Don't say it, this snake is quite big, and it almost didn't kick."

Here, Xiao Yeyang saw that Daohua was still hugging him tightly, patted her on the back, and said with a smile, "Okay, the snake is gone."

Daohua slowly got down from Xiao Yeyang, glanced at the previous place, saw nothing, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that fine sweat was leaking from her forehead, Xiao Yeyang quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.

Daohua looked scared and glanced at him: "I'm just afraid of snakes!"

Beside him, Yan Wentao saw Xiao Yeyang wipe the sweat off Daohua so intimately, and immediately walked over: "Big sister, I'll carry you."

Xiao Yeyang's eyes stabbed in the past, and without waiting for Daohua to speak, he said, "The cave is dark and difficult to walk, don't drop Daohua."

Daohua also said: "Third brother, you don't have to carry me, I will be more careful in the future."

Seeing what Yan Wentao wanted to say, Xiao Yeyang cut off the words directly: "Let's do it like this, if you really want to help Daohua, just light a torch in front and explore the way."

Said, looking at Daohua: "Wait a while and follow behind me, don't run in front of me again, let's go."

Seeing Xiao Yeyang pulling Daohua away, Yan Wentao felt helpless, glared at Yan Wenkai who was heartless beside him, and hummed, "You don't say help me!"

Yan Wenkai was a little dumbfounded: "What help?"

Yan Wentao got even more angry: "Just leave it like this, you don't even know if your sister is gone." After speaking, he left without looking back.

Yan Wenkai was a little speechless: "Sister is related by blood, why not?"
