Chapter 13: Could it be that she is a fine worker?
Only a thousand tributes, wouldn't the rest belong to Xiao Jiuxi?
Xiao Jiuxi shouldn't mind selling some cattle and sheep by himself, right?
After all, the wool comes from the sheep, mainly to help him pay off his debts!
The more Li Yewu thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and her steps were much brisker.
When she dug up the first pot of gold, paid off her debts, and cultivated the fields, she developed the breeding industry.
Slowly infiltrate step by step, and the dream town is close at hand!
……
When the midday sun shone through the treetops, Li Yewu finally arrived at Cuiwei Mountain.
Cuiwei Mountain does not refer to a mountain, as far as the eye can see, a stone forest and hills are all the territory of Cuiwei Mountain.
It was much the same as the old butler had said, there was really no jungle cover, and there were not many animals.
And the further you go, the more there is no road, and even many places are very wet, so you can see that although there is no river passing here, the underground water system is very rich.
As they walked, everyone was blocked by weeds with no end in sight.
Cuiwei Mountain is inaccessible, and few people will come.
The entourage looked at this desolate wasteland with a little confusion.
"Little lady, there seems to be no road ahead."
Compared with the apprehension of his entourage, Li Yewu was very calm.
She randomly plucked a weed and took a closer look, only to see that the grass stood in the sand, its roots were very long, and its posture was as straight as the rice and hemp bamboo reeds, but it was much thinner than the rice and hemp bamboo reeds.
And they are very large, and the roads are almost completely covered by clumps and piles.
However, seeing this grass, Li Yewu hooked her lips happily.
In modern times, people rely on advanced equipment to explore underground gold mines, but in the era when there were no instruments, people could only find gold mines based on oral experience.
The secret art of panning for gold by means of feng shui has long been lost, but the method of using plants to determine the location of gold mines has been preserved.
At this time, what Li Yewu was holding in his hand was the legendary money-greedy grass-Wenjing grass.
It only grows where there are gold mines, and they feed on metal elements to grow wildly.
Generally speaking, as long as you encounter a place with a dense concentration of horsetails, there must be a gold mine below.
However, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is more than ten meters or tens of meters deep, and you have to dig to know.
It's just that the thorn grass on the periphery of Cuiwei Mountain is so dense, wouldn't it be more to go deeper?
Sure enough, there are gold mines here.
Li Yewu was so excited that his blood was boiling.
Originally, she just wanted to take a gamble.
After all, she had an intuition after reading the map of Taiqizhou, where such a water system was so developed and the mountains were so extended, there must be gold mines.
Then, according to the topography, climate, and various calculations, Li Yewu circled the places that may contain gold deposits.
I didn't expect to really guess it.
Facing the doubts of the entourage guards, Li Yewu did not hesitate and took the lead.
"Everyone, don't worry, come with me, the sky will fall, and I will stand on it."
Li Yewu's domineering words made the entourage behind her stunned, and inexplicably saw the shadow of her master from her.
Just as everyone was looking at each other, the old butler was already on the ground and patted them on the shoulder.
"What are you doing here, hurry up and keep up with the little lady."
The crowd came back to their senses and hurried to follow.
The old butler continued to follow slowly, but as he went inside, his eyes became more and more strange.
This place...... Why does it always feel familiar?
……
Li Yewu led everyone all the way in, and finally stopped after bypassing several large hills.
It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and a large area of thorn grass is densely packed. Taller than a human.
People stand here and feel like they're sitting at the bottom of a well.
Li Yewu nodded with bright eyes: "Our destination has arrived!" ”
“???”
Everyone looked at each other, completely unaware of what kind of mountain goods could be here.
"Our task in the next few days is to pull weeds and dig the ground, and there are good things in it."
Li Yewu didn't hide it, anyway, they would know when the gold mine was dug up.
Rather than explain it then, it is better to say it now, at least to express your trust in them.
The retinue was ready to fight.
The "good stuff" that can be dug out of the ground is naturally not ordinary.
It is also highly likely that it will be...... Tumulus.
Thinking of this, everyone has apprehension in their eyes.
True...... Do you really want to dig up the graves of the dead?
But this place is wet, and it doesn't look like a tomb.
Seeing that everyone was worried, Li Yewu thought that they were not confident enough, so he said again:
"I can't help it, the huge debt owed by your master can only be repaid by this, and you don't want your master to be ruined and scolded by His Majesty, right?
The fact that the old housekeeper can bring you here shows that you are credible, but I still want to emphasize that everyone is rotten in their stomachs about today's affairs, and you must not tell others, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”
Li Yewu was neither humble nor arrogant when she said this, her eyes were firm, although she was a weak woman, she revealed a strong majesty.
The attendants unconsciously stood up straight and listened carefully, and when she finished speaking, they nodded their heads in response.
The old housekeeper looked at this scene and felt that he saw the appearance of His Majesty's military order for the conquest of the army, and he was a little stunned for a while.
This girl...... Is it really just a flower girl? It can't be the work of other countries, right?
But if you don't go to the imperial capital, what kind of wind and rain will you come to Taiqi City to stir up?
Moreover, there is nothing wrong with the master's intelligence network.
The little lady's net worth should be innocent.
However...... This girl's actions at this time are not what a flower girl can do.
The old butler was suspicious.
Until he entered the mountain, he naively thought that the little lady was just going into the mountain to save the master.
But now, after seeing the prestige of the superior revealed by the little lady, he was at a loss again.
The old butler looked up blankly and looked around, trying to empty his mind, but he was stunned again.
There was a crooked-necked pine tree on the edge of the mountain to the west, and the crooked-necked tree reminded him of something familiar.
This place...... He really came!!
It's just that he's going to the other side of the mountain, and this side is about the back side of the mountain.
However......
Regardless of before and after, there is indeed an ancient tomb at the foot of this mountain, and that is...... The mausoleum of King Yuanying, the ancestor of Taihe!
The old housekeeper looked at Li Yewu with a complicated expression, which confirmed her idea of being meticulous.
This ancient tomb is only known to the master and him, how did the little lady know?
Could it be that she came here for this ancient tomb?
However, how dare she be so bold and directly order the people of the Wangfu to excavate, isn't she afraid that the Wangfu will see through her true face!
Or is it ...... Is this what the master told her? Let her take the baby out to pay off the debt?
No...... No way? With the master's cautious eye, will he take the initiative to repay the debt?
Also, if the master told the little lady that the little lady should enter through the entrance of the ancient tomb, how could she run to the back?
And with such a rough excavation, what if the tomb collapses.
The old butler brainstormed and felt like he was going crazy.
