Chapter 73 "Goddess"

The fighting continued until the second half of the night. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the officers and soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled.

Long San integrated the teams on both sides, and with Long Qi leading the way, everyone quickly withdrew from another direction.

Liu Lin was holding a knife, his body was covered in blood, and his expression was very ugly.

He came out with the mentality of being a military strategist, but ended up being a thug and suffered two gunshot wounds. It was really regrettable.

But the situation is already like this, we have no choice but to return to the camp quickly. If it’s too late, we might not be able to save our left hand, which is the most seriously injured.

A team of more than 3000 people quickly came down the mountain, and Qingyun had already brought his men to drive the ox carts over.

The seriously injured were squeezed into ox carts, while those who were slightly injured or not injured walked. Everyone ran all the way and finally got out of the Yunfu Mountain before dawn.

Not long after he came out, Long San was considering whether to stop and rest for a while when he heard a loud noise of earth-shattering behind him.

The entire Yunfu Mountain collapsed!

Long San's whole body trembled, and he waved his hand, "Quick! Move forward at full speed!"

Why rest? What’s more important is to run away!

……

……

At the moment Yunfu Mountain collapsed, Pan Yingying was dragged by Yu Chaosheng and ran away, but it was still a moment too late. Yu Chaosheng was quick-witted and hugged Pan Yingying and rolled on the ground.

The two of them rolled out for a long distance. Pan Yingying was small and was well protected by Yu Chaosheng, so she was hardly injured.

Yu Chaosheng had several scratches on his hands and body, but he didn't care at all. He just kept urging Pan Yingying to see how much the iron ore was sold for.

Pan Yingying's eyes flashed. The hematite ore from the entire mountain was sold for a total of 93.74 million taels. She stretched out her palm and said, "53.74 million."

Yu Chaosheng lay head to head with her, and excitedly reached out his hand and slapped her face hard before she could take it back.

His eyes lit up surprisingly. "Sister Pan, don't count the small change. Just give me 25 million."

Pan Yingying repented in her heart for a moment, wondering if she was too dark.

But it was only for a moment, and she smiled, "Okay, you are worthy of being a president, so generous!"

The two men's eyes met, and when they saw their hands clasped together, they froze at the same time.

Pan Yingying was the first to react. She got up from the weed-covered ground. She raised her hand uncomfortably to push away the strands of hair that had fallen on her face. "It's getting late. Let's go."

Yu Chaosheng quickly got up, put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and uttered a low "hmm".

Having received so much extra money, Pan Yingying was not stingy and bought a spacious carriage from the system mall. She let Yu Chaosheng treat his wounds in the carriage while she drove the carriage quickly towards the camp.

……

……

Capital city, the Sixth Prince’s residence.

Liu Pianran was wearing a moon-white fairy dress, with a gorgeous bun on her head and a gorgeous gold hairpin in her hair. She was reading a book in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

If you ignore her rough hands and her skin which still looks a little dull even after applying powder, she can really be described as ethereal.

A tall man in white came closer and soon entered the pavilion.

"Goddess." The Sixth Prince Xiao Shen spoke in a gentle voice, with a sense of loss that could not be ignored in his tone.

Liu Pianran raised her head and saw that he was frowning slightly.

"What's wrong? Sit down and talk." She raised her hand to pull him to sit down, but then she remembered what her mother had told her, and lowered her hand without saying a word.

Xiao Shen sat down opposite her, raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, and then slowly said: "Yunfu Mountain collapsed, and there is no iron mine on the mountain." Yunzhou is the fief of the fifth prince Xiao Qi. Liu Pianran once predicted that there would be iron mines on Yunfu Mountain, and Xiao Qi has already sent people to mine.

He sent people to investigate and contacted the governor of Quzhou, threatening the lives of Jiang Chenwu's wife and children to force Jiang Chenwu, the general of Lingwu, to work for him.

The original plan was to first transfer a large amount of iron ore to his own fiefdom, and then report Xiao Qiyi for privately mining iron ore with the intention of rebellion.

Everything seemed perfect, and he had submitted a memorial. However, the secret guards sent by the emperor to investigate came back and said that Yunfu Mountain had collapsed, and there was no trace of iron ore at all, not even a thumb-sized piece of ore!

The emperor was too lazy to listen to his explanation. The sons were fighting with each other just for the throne under their butts.

Finally, Xiao Shen was ordered to be confined to his house for three months for reflection, and he had just been sent back to his palace by a team of imperial guards.

Liu Pianran was shocked to hear that there was no iron mine in Yunfu Mountain.

In his previous life, Xiao Qi relied on the iron mines in Yunfu Mountain to privately manufacture weapons, and used his strong military force to capture Wu County as a granary. This gave him the confidence to challenge those aristocratic families after he usurped the throne.

Now Xiao Shen told her that there was no iron ore in Yunfu Mountain at all. How was this possible?

Could it be that because I was reborn, some things are different from my previous life?

Liu Pianran's heart was in turmoil, but she didn't show any panic on her face. She stretched out her fingers and pretended to calculate. After a while, she sighed and said, "Yunfu Mountain should have iron ore. It must be because I leaked the secret..."

She didn't say the rest, leaving it for Xiao Shen to guess.

My mother said that if you say half of something and keep the other half, you will often get twice the result with half the effort.

Xiao Shen looked at her steadily, his eyes full of affection. Liu Pianran couldn't help but feel soft at heart, and said gently: "But don't worry too much, as long as we take over Wu County, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing the great cause."

Xiao Shen nodded and said, "I have sent someone to contact him."

Liu Pianran told him that Wu County Magistrate Chen Bucai was actually a woman.

Chen Bucai is not Chen Bucai. His real name is Chen Qinyu. Because Chen Bucai died of a sudden illness on the way to his new post, Chen Qinyu became bold enough to disguise herself as a man and take over her twin brother’s identity.

As long as we get hold of this secret, it will be easy to capture Chen Qinyu.

Liu Pianran couldn't bear to see Xiao Shen frowning, so she softly comforted him, "Don't be unhappy, A Niang's shop is doing very well, making a lot of money every day. I just checked the account book yesterday, and I'll ask Huamei to send the banknote to you later."

Xiao Shen let out a long breath and held her hand. "Goddess, I really don't know how to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would still be a worthless person who is bullied by others. You must be sent by God to save me."

Seeing his unreserved trust in her, Liu Pianran felt sweet in her heart, "Stop saying that, you are not a waste, you are the best man in the world."

……

……

When she came out of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Tingfeng, who was waiting on the side, immediately handed her a soft silk handkerchief.

Xiao Shen wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, threw it back into Ting Feng's arms, and ordered in a cold voice, "Burn it."

No matter how well she pretends to be like that, she can't get rid of the petty nature of a merchant girl.

It was his fault that he trusted this woman too much before, which almost led to his disastrous situation this time.

Since this woman's predictive ability is not entirely accurate... Xiao Shen glanced at the pavilion in the center of the lake with disgust, and decided to meet the Wu County magistrate "Chen Bucai" in person, hoping that the man would not let him down.

……

……

At this time, a group of ragged and skinny people finally arrived in Wu County.

Looking at the rice planted on both sides of the road, everyone cried with joy.

God has mercy on them, they can survive!
