What boiled the entire rivers and lakes together was the bad behavior of the Killer Pavilion relying on Gu poison to control the killers, seeking huge profits, and killing fellow martial artists.

These days, there are also people from the rivers and lakes who come to worship Murong City, there are fierce and vicious Jiangyang thieves, and there are also famous chivalrous monks in the rivers and lakes, and Noya treats each other with courtesy. There are also old friends who walked around more enthusiastically, Shibo's predecessors, Noya remembered, and it was inevitable that he was sad when he saw them, and he was scattered like rain.

The whole mountain is alive again. Fortunately, the mountain road is smooth and smooth, and the traffic from the south to the north is not blocked. Baili Jiu said casually: "Although I don't know how prosperous Murong Villa was when it was at its peak, just by looking at the mountain road, I understand how magnificent it was when people came and went. ”

Nuoya stood on a high place and looked at the once familiar mountains nearby, as well as the grass and trees: "Although my father has a high reputation in the martial arts, he doesn't like to be noisy, so he deliberately chose to live in the mountains. He only made a hero's post in the year he got me, held a sensational banquet, and usually lived in a simple place, where is there such a spacious mountain road? This was just recently fixed. ”

"It looks like there are few pedestrians here, why doesn't the prefect build a muddy official road, but instead thinks of repairing a mountain path?" Baili Jiu asked in surprise.

Noah then told him about the encounter with Orion in the mountains that day.

Bailijiu pondered for a long time, and then asked Noah with a solemn face: "You said that the saber was also captured here?" ”

Noah nodded: "It was taken by me when the ruffian Huang Dexing led people to chase me." How? Is there something wrong? ”

Bailijiu didn't answer, but pulled her up, climbed up along the mountain road, pointed to the mountains in the distance and asked, "What's in there?" ”

Noya tiptoed and glanced at it: "The coal mines that Orion said were found in those mountains, and the government has already contracted them to Huang Dexing privately, I heard that the mountains have been closed for many years, but there has been no coal mine to be shipped out." ”

"Without a coal mine, the ruffian has been holding on for so many years and refuses to give up? And the road will be widened, I am afraid that there is something strange about this matter. ”

Noah sneered: "I think you have been a soldier since you came out of the Killer Pavilion, right?" What is so strange about those few dirt mountains, is it possible that the ruffians can still beat gongs and drums in them to abduct and sell people? There was such a big movement. ”

"Banging gongs and drums? What's moving? Baili Jiu sensitively grasped the topic and asked out loud.

Nuoya then told Baili Jiu what the hunter had said: "He said that he once heard the sound of beating inside, and the sound was quite loud, and he privately speculated that there must be someone inside who was smelting iron, so he didn't want to think about it, Huang Dexing was just a small ruffian hooligan, where could he have such great ability?" ”

Baili Jiu slapped his palm fiercely: "If something goes wrong, there must be something boring!" ”

Noya thought for a while, and also felt that Baili Jiu's words were reasonable: "It's not simple, let's go in and have a look?" For ordinary villagers, they may be afraid of the ruffian's minions, but for your ninth master, isn't it a piece of cake to go in? Catch him, and I'll let him never have a better day. ”

Bailijiu stood still for a while, and then pointed to the soldiers left behind by the prefect of the mountain and said, "Wait until the evening when we avoid their ears and eyes, and then go inside to have a look." ”

"You mean ......"

"Since Huang Dexing is colluding with the government, then he can't guarantee it, he is doing something illegal inside. These soldiers may have been deliberately arranged to monitor our movements by the prefect of You, who was afraid that we would move around and find out something. ”

"I have long said that he is so attentive, it turns out that there is really a conspiracy." Recently, Noya has always been a husband and wife, and nodded thoughtfully: "What you said seems to have a little bit of truth, just do what you say." ”

Baili Jiu was about to speak, when he heard someone screaming and screaming at the bottom of the mountain, and the ghost cried wolf.

The two looked down condescendingly, it was Guan Luo who was fleeing in a hurry, like a flea, jumping a few times in the mountain jungle below, and then jumped to the treetops, shouting in the direction of the two: "Hey, hey!" Who, who, you don't care?! ”

The "who" that Guan Luo said refers to Noya, he has been a little angry with Noya in the past two days, and he doesn't even want to call his sister.

Noah didn't provoke him much, but it was because he picked up the bubble the day before. Guan Luo was frightened by the golden mastiff in front of her at that time, and was stunned for a long time before he asked her tentatively: "Hey, what is this?" ”

Noah looked at him with a smile and patted Bubbles' head: "Bubbles, say hello to my brother." ”

Bubbles bared her teeth at him, full of hostility, and then greeted him in a dull and fierce voice: "Wang! ”

Only then did Guan Luo believe that the monster in front of him was a mastiff! His "whooping" voice, like a dog whose tail has been stepped on, instantly bounced up, jumped three feet high, and startled the bubbles.

Guan Luo secretly regretted that he couldn't know people clearly, this woman was simply not human, and she gave herself so many frightens at the beginning, what did she want to do with a dog that she was most afraid of? Isn't it okay to have a bird or a cat?

He hugged the trunk of the tree and hid on the treetops, and the bubbles circled around the tree, making him want to cry without tears. shouted bitterly at Noya: "From today onwards, with me without it, with it without me, you can do it yourself!" ”

Baili Jiu was so satisfied with Bubbles for the first time, and he hated to reward him with a chicken on the spot. Just kidding, this milky hairy boy dared to tease his wife at the beginning, and now he still uses the excuse that his father doesn't love his uncle and doesn't love him, so he doesn't leave, and follows him all the way to Handan City, and if he doesn't give him a little color, he doesn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has. Now that there are bubbles by Noya's side, Baili Jiu is very relieved.

Guan Luo was chased by the bubbles and ran around, Baili Jiu was happy to see it, he was relieved, and pulled Noah's hand: "These two guys are playing very well, so don't follow and mix." ”

Noah barely held back a laugh, drank the bubbles, expressed her opinions and choices with practical actions, and walked away with the bubbles, ignoring him.

Guan Luo was so angry that he jumped on the top of the tree: "If you don't care, I'll stew dog meat and eat it?" ”

Bubbles seemed to hear his hostility, turned back, and jumped up, making him tremble and almost fall off the tree.

A terrible scream: "Lin Nuoya, I'll be laying down traps everywhere in the mountains for a while, don't look for me if you can't find it!" ”

Later, until the bubble came back for a long time, Guan Luo was nowhere to be seen. The two guessed that he must have been annoyed and angry, and really went to the mountains to set a trap.

As the night deepened, Noah was eager to try and wanted to find out what was going on in the mountains, but was dissuaded by Bailijiu.

"I've just paid attention to observed, those people are staring at you and me, and someone is on duty in turn, so we will stay and sing them a play of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, and let the ingots and ice spirits go over."

Noya was extremely dissatisfied: "They are not familiar with the terrain here, so it is not as good as me going." ”

Bailijiu felt sorry for her who had just recovered from a serious illness, and she had been depressed when she returned to the villa recently, and wanted her to rest well, so she patiently explained: "Yuan Bao is alert, good at detecting clues, and Bingluo is good, in case something happens, the two of them will definitely be able to get out safely, you can rest assured." If there is really anything greasy in it, you will definitely have to go out in person. Let's keep a low profile, so as not to startle the snake. ”

Noah listened to his reasonable analysis, so he stopped talking, nodded and reluctantly agreed.

Yuan Bao and Bingluo happily accepted the order, excitedly changed into night clothes, avoided the eyeliner alert left by the prefect You, and went straight to the direction guided by Baili Jiu.

Bailijiu and Noya stayed in the villa until midnight, and there was no news, so the two fell asleep in their clothes and took a nap.

Yuan Bao and Bing Luo came back from the land in the near dawn, full of embarrassment, as if they had rolled in the soil nest and became a bodhisattva of clay sculpture. The two did not dare to delay, avoiding each other's eyes and ears, and hurriedly knocked on the door of the two.

Seeing the image of the two people, Baili Jiu couldn't wait to come over and report to himself, knowing that there must be a big discovery, he let the two into the room, looked around vigilantly, and then asked eagerly: "Is there anything you found?" ”

The two nodded, and Yuan Bao reported to the two: "There is a treasure in that mountain, and it must be a big deal." ”

"What's in there? Could it be a gold mine? Noah suddenly became interested, his eyes twinkling, and he asked curiously.

Yuan Bao shook his head: "We didn't go deep inside, we only found some clues outside. ”

Then he took out two things from his sleeve and handed them to Baili Jiu and Nuoya: "Ninth Master, look, what is this?" ”

Bailijiu took the thing in his hand, it was black and heavy, he approached the light and looked carefully, his face became more and more solemn: "Slag? This one seems to be a gangue stone? ”

Yuan Bao nodded: "All the people and things inside have been removed and cleaned up, but in some inconspicuous corners, there are obviously some traces of abandoned gangue and slag." We walked around the mountains, because it was night, so we couldn't really see it, but we could see that there were many caves that had been mined, and the scale was not small. ”

"Mined? Noah, I remember you seem to have said that Huang Dexing was mining coal in the mountains, right? ”

Nuoya nodded: "It is true that someone discovered the coal mine, about eight years ago, the government also specially sent people to investigate, and Huang Dexing blatantly sealed this mountain under such a banner." Is there something wrong? ”
