Chapter 461: Make a bet

A small part of these people who came to give gifts were because Lin Ruan was now the county lord, so he naturally wanted to curry favor.

Most of them came up with so many ideas because when the refugees came before, Lin Ruan helped save the food. There is this smallpox vaccine again, which of the people is not grateful to Lin Ruan?

The poorer the family, the more grateful they are for this kindness, so for fear that they will be left behind, they all rush to send things to Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan couldn't bear to brush off everyone's kindness, so he accepted them all. Then I asked people to buy some things, and with some fruits, they gave a gift back to each family who came to give gifts.

Someone has someone to do these things, and Lin Ruan doesn't need to worry about it personally.

After she and Xiao Jingchen rested in the courtyard, they went up the mountain. Xiao Jingchen wanted to take her to the other side of Shenwu Mountain to see the cave in the dark pavilion.

Regarding that cave, Lin Ruan was really greedy.

She had used her ability to follow the Nightmare once, and it was several times larger than her yard, and it would be nice if it could be used by her.

But she didn't dare to look over, first, because the terrain was too terrifying, and second, she was worried that the nightmare might return to the cave at any time, and if it happened to collide, wouldn't it be sent to the door to find death?

Now that Xiao Jingchen wants to take her to see it, she is naturally very willing.

The two of them led the people to the top of the mountain, and arrived at the place where they had been squatting in the dark pavilion.

Lin Ruan looked at the steep cliff and asked a little weakly, "How do you go down?" ”

If it was to let her get up slowly, she would definitely turn around and leave.

Xiao Jingchen stepped forward, grabbed her waist, and jumped towards the bottom of the cliff.

The feeling of weightlessness frightened Lin Ruan and hurriedly reached out and hugged Xiao Jingchen's neck tightly, for fear that his hand would slip.

After landing safely, Lin Ruan covered his beating little heart and glared at him complainingly: "Can't you say hello to me first?" ”

Xiao Jingchen let go of his hand and nodded solemnly: "Next time, I will say hello first." ”

Lin Ruan snorted, turned his head and saw that Fei Su and several people were holding back a smile, especially Fei Su also winked at her teasingly.

Suddenly, Lin Ruan made a big red face.

Fortunately, the few flying flakes didn't dare to go too far in front of Xiao Jingchen, so Lin Ruan quickly calmed down.

The terrain here is very complex, and it is not ordinarily strenuous for ordinary people to walk. But with Xiao Jingchen here, Lin Ruan, the three-legged cat, didn't have to make much effort, and arrived in front of the mouth of the cave.

After arriving at the place, I found that there were people here, and they were all wearing the military uniforms of the imperial court.

As soon as Xiao Jingchen and his party arrived at the place, a person wearing iron armor greeted him and saluted Xiao Jingchen: "The last general has seen the prince." ”

As soon as Lin Ruan saw this person, he recognized it: "General Zhou, why are you here?" ”

This person is General Zhou, who was with her on the night of the encirclement and suppression of the Secret Pavilion, when General Zhou was seriously injured in order to protect her, and then she fell ill herself, and so many things happened, she actually forgot about General Zhou's affairs.

If she hadn't seen her here, she wouldn't have remembered such a person.

When General Zhou saw Lin Ruan, he was also quite surprised: "Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay?" ”

Lin Ruan was a little uncomfortable with his kind attitude, you must know that General Zhou was not polite to her at all that day.

smiled and replied, "Everything is fine, General Zhou, have you recovered from your injuries?" ”

General Zhou clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Miss Lin for your concern, it's already well." ”

Lin Ruan nodded: "That's good." "At that time, seeing that he was so badly injured, I thought that he might not be saved.

Xiao Jingchen waited for the two of them to finish speaking before he spoke: "I'll take the county lord of Youning into the cave to have a look and open the door." ”

General Zhou was stunned, county lord?

Liang Twelve Dynasty General Zhou made a look: "Miss Lin is the county lord of the emperor's own title. The method of curing smallpox was thought up by the county lord. ”

General Zhou and the others immediately saluted: "I have seen the county lord." ”

Lin Ruan waved his hand: "Excuse me." ”

General Zhou hurriedly asked people to open the mechanism of the cave, and then stood on the side, respectfully letting Xiao Jingchen and them in.

The appearance in the cave has not changed much from the last time when Lin Ruan came in with his ability, except for some of the totems of the Dark Pavilion that have been completely erased, everything else is still there.

The feeling of seeing with strange abilities is still different from experiencing it in person, and standing in this cave in person, I know how big it is and how luxuriously it is arranged.

Lin Ruan smacked his tongue: "How much silver did it cost to make this cave." ”

Xiao Jingchen said: "No less than 100,000 taels." ”

Lin Ruan followed the impression of the last time and walked straight to the stone room of the Nightmare: "This is where the Nightmare lives, have you found anything valuable here?" ”

Xiao Jingchen walked to the edge of the table made of golden silk nanmu: "I found some letters between him and the king of Chu, and the others didn't have any very valuable discoveries. ”

Lin Ruan glanced at the table: "This nightmare is really bold, even the golden silk nanmu dares to use it." ”

A cold light flashed in Xiao Jingchen's eyes: "These people, there is nothing to dare to." ”

Lin Ruan thought about it, people were even plotting to usurp the throne, but a little wood, what dare not be used.

Seriously, this golden silk nanmu is really beautiful, and she, who doesn't know the goods, thinks it's rare.

Sitting down at the table, Lin Ruan curiously touched east and west, and asked, "Haven't you found anything else besides these?" The little vault of the Dark Pavilion or something, isn't it? Eighty percent of the income they were able to make here on a large scale and illegally obtained was also hidden in this cave. ”

Xiao Jingchen shook his head: "No, it is estimated that it is all dedicated to the King of Chu, after all, what the King of Chu wants to do, he can't do it without silver." ”

Lin Ruan nodded, and his hand that was groping under the table slammed suddenly.

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Ruan sizzled: "I seem to have touched something, like a switch, but I don't know what the switch is for." ”

When Xiao Jingchen heard this, he immediately stepped forward and bent down to check under the table.

It was a very inconspicuous-looking residue, like the bark of a tree that had not been polished clean, if Lin Ruan had just happened to touch it, I was afraid that no one would have found it.

A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Ruan's eyes: "Let's find a bet." ”

Xiao Jingchen straightened up, with a smile in his eyes: "What are you betting on?" ”

Lin Ruan tilted his head: "Just bet on what is hidden behind this switch, I bet it must be a vault!" ”

Xiao Jingchen smiled: "Then what am I betting on?" Bet it's a secret weapon? ”

Lin Ruan's eyes were crooked with a smile: "If I win, you have to promise me one thing." ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Ruan's eyes slipped around him: "It's not a big deal, since I met you, you have always been dressed in black, and it is easy to get aesthetically tired after watching for a long time, so I want you to change some colors to wear." ”

She wouldn't say that she wanted to see how he would look in other clothes.
