"What's that sound?" Gu Li looked at Yan Qing and asked suspiciously.

When they came back, Mount Mochizuki was a barren mountain, quiet and quiet, without any sound.

"You come with me, go and have a look." Yan Qing did not respond immediately, but continued to move forward.

Gu Li followed behind him, and walked a short distance forward, when he suddenly saw a bright light coming from in front of him.

There were voices and lights, she really couldn't understand, what was someone doing in this barren mountain in the middle of the night?

"This way." Yan Qing said and took her to a high ground.

Gu Li stood on a high place, looked at the place where there was a bright light, and saw that some people were there, as if they were digging something, and the sound of tinkling came from there.

There were many large baskets in the open space next to those people, and the baskets were full, but because they were far away, they could not see what was inside.

"What's in that basket?" Gu Li looked into the distance and asked.

"Golden Stone." Yan Qing also looked there and replied.

Gu Li was surprised and surprised, and immediately turned her eyes to look at him.

Golden stone? The stone used to smelt gold? So, in front of her, is a gold mine?

She never imagined that in the depths of this desolate Mochizuki Mountain, there was a hidden gold mine.

"Whose gold mine is this?" Gu Li looked at him and asked.

The last time she came with him, she hadn't heard anything of it, and she hadn't heard him talk about the gold mines.

Yan Qing's eyes were still looking into the distance, and her gentle and calm voice answered her question: "Ours." ”

Gu Li was dumbfounded and looked at him in a daze.

Yan Qing turned his eyes to look at her and smiled at her.

Gu Li couldn't recover from the shock for a long time, and there were thousands of exclamation points in his mind.

Could it be that the thousands of taels of silver that he suddenly had come from here?

When did he discover this gold mine? And when did mining begin?

Yan Qing looked at her appearance and explained: "After I came with you that night, I bought this mountain. It's not just the gold mine, but now the entire Mt. Mochizuki is ours. ”

His explanation made Gu Li more and more surprised, she never dreamed that he would actually buy this mountain.

"You knew there was a gold mine here?" Gu Li looked at him and asked.

"Hmm", Yan Qing nodded.

Not only did he know that there was a gold mine in this mountain, but that this gold mine belonged to him more than 300 years ago. It was only then that he disappeared, the situation in the world was reshuffled, and the gold mine was abandoned.

More than three hundred years, such a long time has passed, and now in this world, no one except him knows the secret of Mochizuki Mountain anymore.

"How much did you pay for it?" Gu Li asked.

Yan Qing smiled slightly: "Sixty taels of silver." ”

Gu Li was stunned again, he only spent sixty taels of silver to buy such a big mountain, as well as a gold mine in the mountain.

"How did you do that?" She was desperate to know how he had managed to do what seemed impossible.

Yan Qing's face was calm and smiled: "This is a barren mountain that few people have set foot in, and it is at the junction of Nanyun Kingdom and Gaochang Kingdom. Now, Gaochang is ready to move, repeatedly attacking, and it is uncertain which country this mountain belongs to in the future. ”

"I made the county magistrate believe that in the future, there is a chance that this Moon Mountain will be drawn into his territory by Gao Changguo. So, naturally, it was sold for money. ”

Gu Li looked at him with an almost worshipful gaze, and at the moment there was only one sentence in his heart: Big man, please accept my knees.

Surprised, shocked, she had no idea what else to say.

Yan Qing looked at her, the smile on her face looked quiet and blurry in the quiet moonlight, and it was a little seductive and beautiful.

"Let's go." He looked at her and said.

I've come to see it, and it's time to go back.

Gu Li followed him, walked down the high ground, and walked back along the way he came.

The mountain roads are not easy to walk, bumpy and full of potholes. Yan Qing asked him to hold his arm and lead her forward.

By the time the two got home, it was already late. Gu Li cleaned up briefly, then went to bed.

When she got up the next day, Yan Qing still had already cooked for her.

Before Gu Li left, he found that the bamboo strips were full of wild vegetables again, so he asked with a smile: "Could it be that Master Zhang is still here today?" ”

"Well, come back." Yan Qing replied.

"Then why do you have to entertain him with these wild vegetables?" Gu Li didn't understand, what kind of hospitality was taking wild vegetables to the guests?

Yan Qing smiled slightly: "Who made him like these?" ”

Gu Li sighed lightly and shook his head: "I'm leaving." ”

She said hello to him and walked out the door.

Watching her back disappear, Yan Qing continued to prepare wild vegetables.

He has long known Zhang Xuechu, and knows that although he has no real skills, he is a person who loves vassal elegance, so he will make these things to create an elegant atmosphere, which makes him refreshing and eager to follow.

During the conversation, Zhang Xuechu was impressed by his insight and personality, and with the next things to help him, he would inevitably completely surrender to him.

At that time, Zhang Xuechu will be his, and he will definitely become a qualified stepping stone on his way forward.

Yan Qing's lips hooked up a calm and indifferent smile, put on the small tea stove, and began to cook tea.

A pot of tea had just been boiled, and Zhang Xuechu came.

The two greeted each other, and Yan Qing invited him into the house.

"I had a great conversation with my son yesterday, so I'm here again today, I hope I won't disturb my son." Zhang Xuechu said.

Yan Qing responded to him: "Master Zhang said that he was laughing, I am just an idler, how can I bother or not?" It's Master Zhang, the government is busy, I'm afraid you won't have time to come. ”

Hearing his words, Zhang Xuechu couldn't help but sigh.

"Gongzi doesn't know anything, and the affairs in the government have nothing to do with me now."

"Oh?" Yan Qing questioned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Xuechu frowned, thought for a moment, sighed again, and replied: "It's okay, anyway, there's nothing you can't tell your son." ”

"Next year should be the year of Li's promotion, however, his term here has expired for two terms, if there is no political performance in the assessment next year, I am afraid that he will not be promoted."

"The adults are now eager for quick success and quick profits, and they are bent on political achievements, so they are quite important to Shen Liang."

After Zhang Xuechu said this, he sighed again.

His current position in front of Lord Li is in jeopardy, and Lord Li wants political achievements, but as a master, he can't think of any feasible way. Therefore, Lord Li trusted and relied on the resourceful Shen Liang more and more.

He had been grieving for a long time about this. It was only because of his trust in Yan Qing that he said it.

After hearing this, Yan Qing raised a light smile on his face.
