Chapter 1239 545 Silver Mine (20 More)

On this day, in the evening, the convoy happened to pass by the inn. Zhou Dacheng decisively ordered the army to camp, while he and Mo Xiuyu escorted Nangong Yue and a few others into the inn to rest.

The soldiers who camped outside skillfully divided their labor and cooperated, some camped, some set fire, some fed horses, and some collected firewood...

When a short soldier saw Nangong Yue, Zhou Dacheng and their backs disappearing at the entrance of the station, he couldn't help but whisper to his comrades beside him: "Hey, Lao Chen, do you think it's too early to go out to camp this time? "It's not the first time that these people have traveled to Huiling City and Yanding City. Although they didn't travel day and night, they basically stopped and camped until Liu Shaotou was on the moon.

The tall and thin soldier known as "Old Chen" added firewood to the bonfire and said, "I see, it's related to that Mr. Xiao!"

The short soldier curled his lips in disapproval: "If you want to earn military merit, but also want to be comfortable, how can there be such a beautiful thing in this world?"

"Looking at how respectful Master Zhou and Xiaowei Mo are to him, is it hard..." Lao Chen looked around and compared a "two".

Could it be the Second Young Master Xiao Luan?

The two soldiers looked at each other and thought that the same person had gone.

When it comes to Xiao Luan, there is a little more disdain in the eyes of these soldiers. Last year, on the battlefield with Baiyue, the story of Xiao Luan being so frightened was almost spread throughout the Southern Border Army, and all the officers and soldiers were full of emotion. The old prince was famous for his first life, how could he have such an unusable descendant of Xiao Luan, who is not as brave and good at fighting as the prince... Fortunately, the second son Xiao Luan is not the eldest son!

The two soldiers felt a bit of joy for a while.

"But aren't Master Zhou and Xiaowei Mo's henchmen? Why are they so respectful to the second son?" Another soldier with a mustache suddenly interjected behind him.

"Second son is always the younger brother of Shizi, the second son of the palace..."

"..."

The discussion of the soldiers outside was in full swing, and at this moment Nangong Yue had changed her clothes. After two days and one night of running around, her face could not hide her exhaustion. After taking a bath, she suddenly felt a lot lighter.

So, drowsiness also came up.

She let Baihui help her dry her hair groggyly, until there was a familiar eagle cry outside.

"Haha, Xiao Hui is back!"

Lily looked out the window and excitedly waved at Xiao Hui.

This time, when Nangong Yue went out, Xiao Hui also spontaneously followed the team, but the speed of the horse really couldn't keep up with the eagle, so Xiao Hui would not be able to fly without a trace. After playing around enough, he knew that the tired birds had returned to their nests, so he came back to find them by himself.

Since that day, Nangongyue was rewarded for bringing a baby rabbit, and she became obsessed with bringing some small gifts to Nangongyue. Yesterday was a bird, the day before yesterday was a fruit, and the day before yesterday was a flower... Today, it seems that there is another flower in its mouth. What did you drink.

"Prince Shizi, I don't know what good things Xiaohui brought you today!" Lily said excitedly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw something the size of a fist being thrown over. Lily subconsciously caught it, and the weird tentacles made her mouth twitch.

There's no need for Xiao Hui to slap her face like that, right?

Seeing Lily's strange expression, Thrush couldn't help but also leaned over and asked curiously, "Sister Lily, what did Xiaohui bring back?"

The corner of Lily's mouth twitched again, and she spread out her hand directly, saying, "Look..."

The palm of her hand was a dark gray stone the size of a baby's fist.

Thrush didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say: "Then do you want to put it in the box of Concubine Shizi?"

During these days, Nangong Yue put the things Xiao Hui gave her to her symbolically in a box, such as a tuft of rabbit hair on a young rabbit, dried flowers, fruit pits, and so on.

Xiao Hui also found it very interesting. Sometimes when Nangong Yue showed it the box, it would make a smug cry.

Thrush found a handkerchief, wiped the soil on the stone a little, then put it in the box and presented it on the dresser.

Nangong Yue glanced casually, and was about to signal Thrush to put away the box, when she suddenly noticed something out of the corner of her eye, her eyes narrowed, her original sleepiness was swept away, and she looked at the stone in the box with a serious expression. , and took it out somewhat eagerly.

The maids on the side looked at each other, Lily came over curiously, blinked her dark eyes, and asked, "Princess Shizi, is there something wrong with this stone?"

Nangong Yue seemed to have never heard of it, took out a handkerchief, rubbed the stone with the handkerchief, then turned the stone a little, and said, "What do you think this is?"

Lily took a closer look and saw a gleam of silver inlaid on one corner of the stone, about the size of a tail finger exposed on the surface of the stone.

"Prince Prince, isn't this a silver mine?" Thrush widened his eyes in excitement.

Nangong Yue nodded, turned her head and looked out the window. Xiao Hui was accustomed to stopping on a branch in the yard, her golden eyes staring at the room without blinking, as if she was watching what they were playing. tricks.

Really! Thrush is more interested, this is the first time she has seen a silver mine in her life! ...Wait a minute, where did this piece of silver ore come from? Wouldn't it be "stolen" from someone else's mine?

Xiao Hui has a "conviction"!

Thinking of this, Thrush glanced at Xiao Hui outside the window subtly.

Nangong Yue pondered for a while, and then ordered, "Baihui, go to the people at the inn to find out if there are any mines nearby?"

"Yes, Concubine Shizi."

After Baihui responded, she hurried down.

About a quarter of an hour later, she came back in a hurry, with a hint of excitement in her eyes, and said, "Prince Concubine, the servant just went to ask the Yicheng if there is a mine nearby, and the Yicheng said that there is a mine more than ten miles away. A private copper mine, but that was a matter of the previous dynasty. Forty or more years ago, the ore in the copper mine was exhausted, and it was abandoned. It is said that the people who used to work in the copper mine are still near the mine. Take root and become a small village."

Nangong Yue also had a happy expression on her face. As far as she knew, silver mines were often associated with lead-zinc mines, copper mines, tin mines and other metal mines. If this abandoned mine is more than ten kilometers away, then at the speed of Xiao Hui's flight, it is very likely that it will fly there and then fly back to find them.

In addition, the private mine is an abandoned mine without an owner. If they are discovered, it is reasonable and reasonable for the Zhennan Palace to take over.

The last point, the maids also thought of it, and for a while, the room was beaming with joy.

"Princess Shizi, I have a hunch that Xiaohui will definitely make a great contribution this time. How do you reward him now?" Lily said with a wink and a smile, asking for the reward for Xiaohui.

Everyone in the room laughed.

Nangong Yue pondered for a while and said, "Thrush, you go and call Zhou Dacheng."

Thrush responded immediately, Baihui and Lily hurriedly served Nangongyue, put on a blue robe, and simply tied their hair.

After a while, Thrush came with Zhou Dacheng.

"Is there any order from Concubine Shizi?" Zhou Dacheng asked respectfully after salute.

Zhou Dacheng was his own person, and Nangong Yue didn't plan to hide it from him, so he directly asked Lily to show him the stones Xiaohui picked up, and asked Baihui to repeat everything Yicheng said just now.

Zhou Dacheng's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at the stone repeatedly, wiped it with his cuff, and finally even took a bite casually at the corner of his mouth. In an instant, all the maids in the room showed some subtle expressions. , Lily thought: If Alan dares to do this, see if she doesn't...

Zhou Dacheng stared at the tooth marks he left on the silver on the surface of the stone, his eyes brightened, and he said eagerly: "Prince Prince, it is silver, it must be silver!" He swallowed and said the crowd "Princess Shizi, I think there must be a silver mine under that copper mine!"

Whether it is the Xuanjia Army or the God Arm Camp, they are all things that burn silver, not to mention that Yanding City and Yongjia City are now in ruins, and they also need silver to rebuild. Now the most in need of the prince is silver. It is really a silver mine, and that will solve the urgent need of the prince!

Nangong Yue also smiled and said, "I hope so." After a pause, she said again, "Zhou Dacheng, I plan to stay here for a day tomorrow. Let's go to the mine first, what do you think?" Whether there is a silver mine or not, it still takes a trip to confirm.

"It's natural! I'll call Xiao Mo tomorrow." Zhou Dacheng agreed. It's not a big deal to delay the medicine to be escorted for a day. If this day is a silver mine, then this deal will be too much. Good deal!
