After speaking, Qin Fan turned around and left Bai Zhi's room and walked in the courtyard, a look of deep worry appeared on his face.

"It seems that I have to talk to Li Zhicheng during this time."

Qin Fan said silently in his heart.

......

Two days later, Qin Fan returned to Wannian County, and as soon as he arrived at the county office, his subordinates brought news of the ore vein.

But nothing else has been found.

He hadn't even found out the name of the Assassin, let alone the secrets he knew.

This made Qin Fan a little helpless.

After returning to Wannian County, Qin Fan did not stay and went directly to the county office.

"See Qin County Order."

"Qin County Order, you are here so soon, is there anything wrong?"

Seeing Qin Fan appear, an old catcher immediately greeted him.

Looking at the fifty-year-old man in front of him, Qin Fan said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, I came today to find you to know something.

"Oh? Qin County Ling wants to know something, I will tell you what I know. 「

Hearing this, Qin Fan said straight to the point: "Uncle Liu, I heard that you and Li Zhicheng are old acquaintances, can you find out some news about this person for me?"

Hearing what Qin Fan said, Uncle Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Qin County Order has asked for help, the old man doesn't dare to shirk it."

"It's just that I don't know Master Li very well, so I'm afraid it's hard to find out any news."

"I see.

Qin Fan nodded lightly and said, "Then thank you Uncle Liu, if there is any news in the future, I hope Uncle Liu will inform me."

Hearing Qin Fan's words, Uncle Liu smiled and waved his hand: "Qin County Commander rest assured, if there is news, I will tell you, after all, you are my benefactor!"

"Then thank you Uncle Liu."

Qin Fan thanked him again, and then retired and left.

After Qin Fan left, he did not immediately return to the City Lord's Mansion, but went to a remote corner of the county office.

It is very close to the county government and relatively hidden.

Because Qin Fan had been here before, he was more familiar with this place, and he didn't expect to run into trouble.

At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his head.

"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden side quest [Find the Ore Vein]."

Hearing the prompt sound of the system, Qin Fan raised his eyebrows.

He had been thinking about how to find the ore veins before, and now the system actually sent them to the door automatically, which is too much of a coincidence, right?

He immediately clicked on the option to open the task, and then saw two options appear on the panel.

One is the quest of [Digging Ore Veins].

The other is [Finding Ore Veins].

"It seems that this task is similar to digging ore veins, so there should be a certain reward, right?"

Seeing these two tasks, Qin Fan guessed in his heart.

Thinking of this, Qin Fan did not hesitate, and directly clicked on the task of [Finding Ore Veins].

Ding dong!

[Find Ore Vein]: Quest content: Go to a valley in the northern suburbs of Wannian County, where there is a ore vein, but it has not been mined for hundreds of years, if you can find it and mine it, you will get 10,000 merit points!

When Qin Fan saw the introduction of this task, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Whether it is the search for mineral veins or the subsequent mining work, it is not difficult for young people.

Qin Fan, who got the news, left the county government directly and rushed towards the northern suburbs.

Northern suburbs.

It used to be the largest mining area in the entire Wannian County, but it was abandoned for many years due to overexploitation.

It is more than ten miles away from the county seat, and usually unless it is a large transportation team, it will not come here at all, and even ordinary people rarely visit.

A few hundred miles away in a forest, there was a wide road, in which horse-drawn carriages were moving slowly.

A soldier sits in a carriage, spear in hand, motionless like a sculpture.

The scene looks quite spectacular.

The avenue is flanked by barren dirt slopes and woods, which look a little eerie.

Suddenly, under a large tree on the left side of the road, there was the sound of footsteps.

This is a group of black-clothed masked people, led by a man in a green robe.

Behind the group of men in black were longbows and arrows, the strings of which were tightly drawn and beads tied to them.

There was a strong evil aura exuding from the beads, which looked extremely evil, and it was obviously a tempered murder weapon.

Seeing this, the blue-robed man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then slowly spoke, "The front is the ore vein mentioned by the Qin County Order, we must speed up, strive to complete the task as soon as possible, and get the reward as soon as possible."

"Yes, Childe."

Hearing this, the men in black with bows and arrows on their backs agreed in unison.

"Well, let's go!"

As the order of the man in black was given, the group of men in black immediately rushed towards the mountain.

......

The northern suburbs of Wannian County, where the terrain is steep and the terrain is complex.

Qin Fan galloped all the way, and it took half a day to come to the target area.

This mountain peak, twenty or thirty meters high, has a steep surrounding environment, and there are many cliffs.

"It's dangerous!"

Qin Fan patted his chest, feeling that if he accidentally fell just now, he would definitely die miserably.

"Isn't this Qin Fan? How did you come to a place like this? 「

Suddenly, Qin Fan heard a voice coming from the side, and then saw a young man in a blue shirt jumping off the cliff in front of him and rushing towards this side quickly.

Although the young man's body was a little thin, his movements were very flexible, and he soon came to Qin Fan's side.

"Of course I'm here to hunt for treasure."

Qin Fan was slightly stunned, but he didn't remember the young man's name.

"Haha, you're finally here!"

When the young man heard Qin Fan's words, his face showed a happy look.

"Who are you? Do we know each other? 「

Seeing that this person was so enthusiastic, Qin Fan frowned slightly and asked suspiciously.

"Brother Qin, my name is Zhao Yu, and we've met."

The young man looked at Qin Fan and spoke, and then said his name, his face full of excitement.

Hearing this, Qin Fan remembered that the young man in front of him was the Zhao Yu he had met on the street before.

"It was you."

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Qin Fan was stunned, and then smiled awkwardly, "Brother Zhao, why did you come here?"

"Alas, I ran for my life, but I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance."

As he spoke, Zhao Yu sighed, his face full of disappointment.

"Escape? What's wrong? 「

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Qin Fan asked in surprise.

Zhao Yu nodded and continued, "Yes, my family suffered a catastrophe some time ago, my grandfather and father were all killed, and now I am the only one left."
