Rebirth of marriage

Early the next morning, Xie Jiu took Feng Zhilan and carried the package into the mountain.

Lu Zhuo also brought two followers. In addition to carrying dry food, they also brought a tent.

He said apologetically, "Time is short, I only have time to do this one, I feel wronged to the girl."

Xie Jiu shook his head, "If you're interested, let's go."

It's extremely difficult to spend the night in the mountains in winter. It's good to find a cave to shelter from the wind. If you can't find it, you have to keep warm by torches in the open air. It's not easy to make a tent, otherwise Xiejiu would have prepared it himself.

Lu Zhuoding had started to do it since he knew he was going to the mountains. He had already put a lot of effort into doing this, so how could Xie Jiu still feel aggrieved.

When it really freezes to death at night, the male and female guards no longer care about so many people. Besides, there are many of them, and they are not alone.

This trivial matter was brushed aside immediately by Xie Jiu, and the group set off for the deep mountains.

Xie Jiu's main purpose of going into the mountains this time was to find open-pit shallow coal mines and buy them in advance for himself.

Mountains with coal mines rarely grow vegetation. Most of them are barren and even some coal is directly exposed, which can be recognized at a glance. Therefore, their mission this time is not difficult. They only need to clear Yu Youguan from the nearby mountains. Just check them one by one.

Feng Zhilan often goes into the mountains to hunt and is familiar with the nearby mountains.

Xie Jiu described to her the appearance of the open-air coal mountain. Feng Zhilan recalled that apart from the one that Xie Jiu had discovered, Feng Zhilan was sure that there were no other coal mountains on the top of the mountain. Xie Jiu then re-planned the route to Feng Zhilan. Go where you have never been before.

"Thank you for the wine, is that black stone really so useful and non-toxic?" Feng Zhilan was curious. She had been running in the mountains since she was a child. She had passed that barren mountain countless times, and she still felt uncomfortable when she occasionally chased prey there. Her clothes were dark and dirty, and she didn't expect it to be a good substitute for charcoal for heating.

Xie Jiu nodded.

Feng Zhilan suddenly felt regretful that she had missed out on a lot of wealth, "If I had known that the black stone could be exchanged for money and kept warm, why would I have to hunt so hard?"

"Has Miss Feng forgotten that someone used this black stone to kill her whole family a few years ago?" Lu Zhuo reminded her, "To be precise, the black stone is poisonous, but the girl has a special way to deal with it, so Miss Feng knows it. , it is useless if there is no way to deal with it.”

He deliberately defended Xie Jiu, but was worried that Feng Zhilan had other intentions.

Feng Zhilan slapped her forehead, "Look, I forgot about this fatal matter when I heard that I could exchange money."

She sighed, "You still have the ability to thank me for drinking. My father often said that when people are lucky, the God of Wealth will rush to give you money. For people like me who have no luck with wealth, the God of Wealth will avoid me when he sees it, for fear of me." It took away his old man's wealth."

When Lu Zhuo saw this, he knew that he was being careless, so he smiled and said, "If you follow the girl now, aren't you just following the God of Wealth?"

When Feng Zhilan went to the Lu family yesterday, he guessed that this person was also the person Xie Jiu wanted to use. Xie Jiu could give [-]% of coal's profits to the Lu family, and Feng Zhilan would definitely not lose money.

Feng Zhilan was suddenly enlightened by his reminder. She rolled her eyes, hugged Xie Jiu, and said flatteringly, "Xie Jiu, can you take me with you if you need to make money in the future? As long as you can make money, I won't be afraid of it no matter how hard it is."

She is a child of a military general and has been here since she was a child. She became the mainstay of the family at a young age and is used to being carefree.

Xie Jiu, who was petite and petite, was hugged by her waist and almost lifted up. He took a breath and then laughed helplessly, "Okay, but you have to remember what you said."

"Don't worry, a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with." Feng Zhilan said happily, patting her chest.

Lu Zhuo and the other men quickly turned away.

Xie Jiu's dark eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. She knew that Feng Zhilan had two obsessions in her life, one was to raise Feng Wuxin well, and the other was to make money. The purpose of making money was still to raise Feng Wuxin well.

This kind of Feng Zhilan touched Xie Jiu's heart. She smiled and said, "If you find Meishan during this trip to the mountains, I will reward you with another ten taels of silver."

She turned to Lu Zhuo and the others and said, "Same for you."

"Thank you, boss." Feng Zhilan happily put down her wine, bowed her hands in a gesture of gratitude, and then took the lead in jumping forward to explore the mountains in all directions, as did Lu Zhuo's two followers.

There was finally silence in his ears, and Xie Jiu raised his lips slightly.

In addition to looking for open-pit coal mountains, she had other thoughts during this trip into the mountains. There might be other mineral veins in the stretches of mountains in Yuyouguan. Even though she found them and couldn't move them for the time being, it didn't stop her from finding and buying them first. .

In the last life, it was the third prince who finally ascended the throne. After he ascended the throne, he and the fake Nihuang used her as bait to kill Gu Xiao. If this life still couldn't change the outcome of the third prince's ascension to the throne, Xie Jiu would have to make plans early.

On the other level, her biological parents are no longer here, and she has been transferred for more than ten years. Does her grandfather Zhen Guogong really don't know or there is another reason.

Xie Jiu prepared for the worst. If the Zhenguo government was willing to accept her and treat her as a relative, then she would get her own identity back, which would be the icing on the cake.

If they don't want to recognize her, she will still take back her identity and seek revenge on Nihuang, but in the end she can only rely on strengthening herself to compete with Gu Xiao, and the veins she is looking for today can all be her help.

A group of five people walked in the mountains for a day and climbed several mountains without finding anything.

Lu Zhuo was a little discouraged, "Girl, do you think there will really be a second coal mountain in Yuyouguan?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Xie Jiu smiled lightly. She rarely went into the mountains when she was in Yuyouguan in her previous life, and she never paid attention to this.

But according to the book, if there is a coal mountain in a place, there is a high probability that there is one nearby.

"Why are you so anxious for just one day?" Feng Zhilan said indifferently, "My father often said that hunting requires patience, and the same is true for other things. In the past, when I hunted, I would squat for several days for a prey. Besides, we are looking for coal mountains that are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver. Ten days and a half are worth it."

Xie Jiu nodded in agreement. Feng Zhilan looked at Da Tiao, but he was extremely patient in his work and would be a very capable helper in the future.

However, Lu Zhuo and the others may have never experienced such hardship, and they were carrying heavy things such as tents on their backs. They were afraid that their feet might get blistered. There happened to be a cave nearby, so Xie Jiu proposed to light a fire in the cave. Torch, rest here tonight and continue tomorrow.

Lu Zhuo and the others were really exhausted, and they were not trying to be brave. They all scrambled to collect firewood, light the fire, and get dry food. After eating and drinking, they took a nap around the fire.

It was still the same on the second and third days. On the fourth day, when Feng Zhilan was a little discouraged, she finally found coal. Although only one-third of the mountain's surface was coal, it was enough.

Everyone is very happy.

Xie Jiu also fulfilled his promise and rewarded each person with ten taels of silver for finding Meishan. Feng Zhilan, who was a little tired at first, felt full of energy again.

Xie Jiu pulled Xie Jiu forward to continue walking, but Xie Jiu stopped and asked Lu Zhuo and others to set up tents at the mountain col, where they would spend the night tonight.

Although a few people were puzzled, they didn't ask any more questions. Xie Jiu was their leader, so they could just act as he was told.

While everyone was busy, Xie Jiu excused himself to wander around the area and returned alone to the top of the mountain they had just walked.

There is ocher on the mountain, and there is iron on the bottom.

She wanted to confirm it again.

Although most snakes and insects in the mountains hibernate in winter, this is not always the case.

To prevent accidents, Xie Jiu held a stick in one hand and a dagger in the other and followed the footsteps they had just walked back to the mountainside. He recalled what the master had explained and carefully examined several reddish-brown ochres. After confirming his suspicion, Xie Jiu couldn't help but Laugh out loud.

She actually found an iron mine in the mountains, and it was Gu Xiao's territory. With this iron mine, even if Gu Xiao didn't want to take that position, he could equip weapons and enhance his ability to protect himself.

Xie Jiu was so happy that he relaxed his vigilance.

When she felt the dangerous aura, she looked up and saw the handsome man opposite with a cold face and murderous intent in his eyes. He was pointing a bow and arrow at her.

It's Gu Xiao!

Xie Jiu's pupils shrank sharply. Gu Xiao wanted to kill her?
