Chapter 533 The twist

Wen Yuanhong agreed after a moment of hesitation, "As long as you don't dislike the humidity and mosquitoes in this mountain, I might not be able to care about you when I'm busy."

Chen Ningya waved her hand and didn't care much. She wanted to stay here because it was the height of summer. It was unpleasantly hot during the day outside. , and let Shumo get her some wormwood and hang it on her body.

The breakfast in the mountains is relatively simple, a pot of gooey and some wild vegetables, and a pot of fish soup stewed by small fish caught in the stream. Everyone eats the same thing. Judging from their expressions, it seems that they have long been used to it.

Chen Ningya frowned, sat next to Wen Yuanhong and whispered, "Do you usually eat these when you work?"

Wen Yuanhong nodded, scratching his head embarrassedly, "Mother, I know you may find it difficult to swallow these things, but we are in the wild, everything is simple, if you really can't eat for a while, I will let Shumo go out and bring you some food. come in."

Chen Ningya glared at him immediately and said with a sneer: "Your mother, I have eaten anything worse than this before, and it will be hard to swallow! It's just that you are all hard work and you can't eat well. It's just uncomfortable."

Only then did Wen Yuanhong realize that he had misunderstood Chen Ningya's meaning, and the soldiers nearby who heard Chen Ningya's words were so moved that they couldn't help but interject: "We have taken the old lady's mind, but our mission this time is secret. We can’t make it known to everyone with great fanfare, so we are careful even when we bring food in, and we don’t dare to make things too fragrant, for fear of attracting wild beasts and hunters.”

Chen Ningya was stunned, thinking about how to help them solve this problem later.

After breakfast, Lao Jitou and Wen Yuanhong continued to explore the mountains with a group of people. Chen Ningya had nothing to do, and went out for a walk under the protection of Shumo and two soldiers.

Walking to the edge of the creek, she thought of going into the mountain with Wen Youshan and discovering things like taro in the mountains, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help hooking up. At this moment, the sun shone through the dense forest to the big rocks by the creek. Up, the breeze was slowly blowing, making people feel a little sleepy again.

There was no one around, only a few guards. Chen Ningya rarely relaxed and ignored the rules, so she directly let Shu Mo help her sit on the boulder.

Shumo persuaded several times in a good voice. Seeing that Chen Ningya was indifferent and defeated by her willfulness again, she could only watch everything around her vigilantly, but this Chen Ningya hugged her knees and buried her head on her knees. She slowly closed her eyes, and after a few times, when she was idle, she took out the jade pendant from her arms, thinking that she could see more clearly in the sun.

Facing the sun, the jade pendant seemed to become much clearer. Chen Ningya only felt that she could see the lines of her palm clearly through the jade pendant. Pick up the jade pendant and place it on your eyes, facing the sun.

After playing for a while, she realized that something was wrong, and the real person jumped up suddenly, as if her buttocks were on fire.

Shumo was taken aback, "What's the matter, is the stone burnt? Old lady, I told you before I was young that it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Ningya had already climbed down from the stone and hurriedly went to find Wen Yuanhong.

Shumo chased after him nervously, "Old madam, wait for your little one! Old madam, please slow down, don't fall! Old madam."

Chen Ningya knew that Shumo was so noisy for the first time, and she finally found Wen Yuanhong in the ghost roar of Shumo. At this time, their group was on the mountain next door, not far from the creek where Chen Ningya was.

Wen Yuanhong saw Chen Ningya coming, although he was sweating, he stepped forward and asked in a good-natured manner, "Mother, can't you wait any longer? Why not?"

was interrupted by Chen Ningya before she could finish her words, "Don't be long-winded and get down to business, old Jitou."

Chen Ningya subconsciously shouted, and later realized that she had missed the point, and quickly changed her mind and shouted: "Master Ji, come here too."

Although Wen Yuanhong was suspicious, he didn't have time to think deeply.

At this time, Chen Ningya took out the jade pendant from her arms and said to the two of them, "There is something wrong with this jade pendant!"

Wen Yuanhong and Lao Jitou, "?"

Seeing them like this, Chen Ningya didn't say much, and took them directly to a place where the sun and shadows were mixed, and turned the jade pendant to the sun, adjusted the angle, and saw that the light projected by the jade pendant into the shadow was combined into a picture, look carefully. It can also be seen that this is a map.

Lao Jitou and Wen Yuanhong both gasped.

"My God! Mother, how did you find out?" Wen Yuanhong couldn't describe it as shock. At this time, Chen Ningya's image in his heart was too high to describe.

Even the old Jitou has a look of admiration. He made the things, but he didn't even suspect that there was such a tricky thing hidden here. No, he also looked carefully at the firelight at that time, but he didn't find any problems. Why? When the thing arrives in Chen Ningya's hands, it will be decrypted?

Chen Ningya looked at the two people speechlessly, "Is this the point? The point is that you should draw this map right away. Also, this place is not good, and you can't see clearly enough. Let's see if it's better. where to project?"

"Yes!" Lao Jitou and Wen Yuanhong said in unison.

So, in the expectation of Chen Ningya, the two asked the soldiers to chisel a skylight on the roof of the wooden house, and the three of them waited silently until the sun was in the middle and the sun was shining through the skylight into the wooden house before they started to work.

One person was busy adjusting the angle of the jade pendant, and the other person was busy drawing. Only Chen Ningya was the least busy, staring at the projection on the wall. Before Lao Jitou finished painting, she whispered: " Are these abrupt curves drawn above the trend of the ore veins?

Although I don't know anything about the mountains here, I can still recognize the Zhangjiagou marked here and the place where our workshop is located. With these two places as the logo, the entire mine should be centered on the south side of the mountain. , one to the north, one to the southwest, and the most important one to the southeast.

I just don’t know what kind of mine this mine is. "

Old Jitou said calmly: "No matter what mine it is, we will send someone to try it, and we will do it today!"

Wen Yuanhong nodded excitedly, "I think so too, no matter what it is, as long as you dig something, you can deal with the emperor."

With the previous psychological gap, he does not have many requirements now. No matter what mine, as long as he finds something, he will complete the task successfully. As for whether he can help Wen Yuanliang, he does not hesitate. Now that Tubo has been taken down, it is only a Xiongnu. , I think the pressure of coming to the court is not so great. Besides, it is unrealistic for the emperor to really count on them.
