Chapter 724, Murong Yun and Jing Shirong’s cooperation
The eldest prince returned home happily, unaware that the brothers were planning on his gold mine.
He hurriedly went back to find Murong Yun, wanting to discuss gold mining with him.
Murong Yun gave him advice in order to gain his trust.
“Since the king has entrusted you with the gold mine, then go and ask your father for a group of people to be responsible for digging the gold mine.”
As long as he sends his father's people there, he can gain the king's trust. Secondly, if something happens in the future, with someone from the king as a witness, the eldest prince will be able to survive.
After listening to Murong Yun’s suggestion, the eldest prince fell to the ground in admiration.
“Master Murong is indeed a wise man. No wonder my father trusts you so much.”
You must know that Murong Yun is from a neighboring country. His father can put aside the fierce competition between the two countries to cooperate with Murong Yun, which shows Murong Yun's excellence.
The eldest prince asked, "Then, I just need to send people to mine, and I will leave the rest to you?"
Murong Yun shook his head, "Since you and Wang Shangcheng want to get things done, it's better to do it yourself."
"I can give you some advice on how to appoint people. It would be better for the eldest prince to do it himself."
After all, he is not a native of the country. If he helps others in this matter, he will not be able to evade responsibility if something goes wrong.
If an imperial merchant from a neighboring country causes trouble on his or her territory, it's uncertain how the king of the neighboring country will make a fuss about it.
The eldest prince knew that his status was embarrassing, and thinking that he had indeed boasted to his father about how he wanted to do things beautifully in Haikou, he took care of everything.
“Okay, then I will do it myself.”
He still doesn’t believe it, he won’t be able to build a gold mine by himself.
If the Sixth Prince knew that he was not good, he would not be able to laugh at him to death.
Originally, his father favored the sixth prince, but this time he insisted on competing with the sixth prince to show his father that he was also capable and could help him make money.
"I will start to do it tomorrow. Lord Murong, can you stay for dinner?"
Murong Yun waved his hand, "No, the children at home are still waiting, so I will go back first."
Having said that, stand up and leave first.
The eldest prince saw him coming and going in a hurry, as if he was really here to discuss business, and he didn't ask anything else at all, which was strange.
He asked his subordinates, "Did anything unusual happen to him in the house just now?"
The subordinate replied, "No, he just stood in the yard and looked at it for a while, and then went into the house to drink tea."
Since there is no abnormality, it is strange.
Although the eldest prince admired Murong Yun, Murong Yun was not a native of his country, so he naturally had to be on guard.
He looked at Sister Guan Ying's house and asked, "Is that woman awake?"
The subordinate replied, "I woke up once and knocked on the door to ask for something to eat. I was given tea and snacks."
The eldest prince was curious, "She didn't cry?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "I'm not crying, I'm just a little scared. I hide in when I see people."
The eldest prince raised his lips with satisfaction, "As a woman, it's normal to be scared when being kidnapped. But it's strange that she didn't cry."
It’s not all said that women from the Central Plains are timid and shed tears, which is very different from women here.
The women here are quite fierce. If they are kidnapped, they will definitely start a fight. Not to mention crying, they may even bite you to death.
He thought that a slender and delicate woman from the Central Plains would drop a few drops of golden beans when she found out that she had been kidnapped.
The subordinate replied, "I saw that she was timid and did not dare to get too close, so I stopped going to see her."
The eldest prince nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's put her aside first. I want to go to the gold mine first."
After holding it back for so long, I can finally go to the gold mine openly. Of course I have to go and see it quickly.
When he went to the gold mine, Jing Shirong secretly chased after them, marking the way along the way.
Then he turned back and continued to pretend to be a secret guard to deliver letters to the Sixth Prince.
As soon as the Sixth Prince heard about the location of the gold mine, he immediately chased after it.
The eldest prince was happily inspecting the terrain in the gold mine. Unexpectedly, he saw the figure of the sixth prince as soon as he came out. He looked unhappy, "Why is the Sixth Prince here?"
Why is he everywhere?
The sixth prince smiled cheekily, "What did the elder brother say? You and I are brothers and sisters. We are supposed to help each other. I am here to help you."
There is no king here, so the eldest prince will naturally not be hypocritical with him.
“Come on, I found this place, so don’t worry about it!”
A dignified prince is really shameless and wants everything.
Having already stolen my father’s favor, you are here to rob his gold mine. Bah, shameless.
The sixth prince was not angry even if he was scolded, his face was as shameful as a city wall.
He smiled and said, "Brother, why are you so anxious? I just came to take a look. My father also said that we are brothers. If you have something to do, you need help."
After that, he rode his horse and prepared to take a walk around the gold mine.
It is impossible for the eldest prince to let him roam around. This is his chassis. Why should he be allowed to look at the terrain here?
He looked at his men coldly and ordered, "Please go back, Prince Six!"
"yes."
The group of guards immediately raised their swords towards the sixth prince.
The sixth prince smiled but said, "Brother, what are you doing? I came to help you out of kindness, but you actually pointed a sword at me?"
Seeing his hypocritical face, the eldest prince also smiled hypocritically, "What did the sixth brother say? You are so busy during the day, how can I have the nerve to trouble you again?"
"Besides, my father has said that I will have full authority to handle this matter. If you come in to see me in such a big way, you will forget that you are sorry for your brother."
“So, Sixth Brother, I’d better wait for Brother Wei to finish digging the gold mine before inviting you to come and watch it.”
After saying that, he made a leaving gesture, "Please!"
The sixth prince came in a hurry, so he brought a bodyguard with him. Since there were not enough manpower, he had to withdraw first.
“Then I’ll come back in a few days to see the fruits of my brother’s labor.”
After saying that, he snorted coldly and rode away.
The eldest prince was extremely happy to see him returning from the battle defeated.
While they were making trouble, Jing Shirong had already sneaked into the eldest prince's residence.
In a situation where two people seem to be on good terms, it is not appropriate to make a big deal out of many things.
So Jing Shirong came alone, preparing to quietly rescue Sister Ying.
As for settling accounts, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
He came in disguised as a servant, and when it was time to deliver the meal, he carried the meal to Sister Ying.
“Ahem, madam, the food is here.”
Sister Yingmei heard about his fake voice at first, but it wasn’t until she went out to pick up food that she met Jing Shirong’s eyes.
“Rong?”
She shut up immediately and looked around. Seeing that there were guards all around, she could only pretend to be afraid, take a few steps back and ask him, "Send me in."
Jing Shirong brought the food box in and told her not to be afraid with his eyes.
Sister Ying winked at him, meaning I'm not afraid.
Having experienced so many things, she has become much more courageous.
Especially knowing that he is nearby makes me feel more at ease.
Jing Shirong couldn't stay any longer, so he put down his food box and went out.
After he closed the door and locked it, Sister Ying opened the food and read the note inside.
