"Before the woman died, she said that the heavens wanted him dead, probably it was the City Lord she most wanted to see die a natural death. She knew she wouldn’t have the chance to reveal this secret herself, so she decided to smash the pot and entrusted it to us."
"That’s quite unkind of her! She ntioned her family’s private treasury to lure people to go there. If it had been soone else, the chances of discovering the secret under the gold mine would be slim, and they would likely lose their lives."
"That’s why she’s gambling; she has nothing to lose either way."
Fortunately, they ca.
The gold mine is unable to escape her grasp.
At this mont, Ruan Mian’s mind was filled with thoughts. She looked at Xie Huai’an and asked.
"Sir, you say the City Lord privately exploited the gold mine, and Jiang Dao wanted to trade the location for safety. Clearly, the City Lord already knew the location, so why did he let him search for the gold mine’s location?"
As she spoke, Ruan Mian understood herself.
"So, whether the location of this gold mine is correct determines whether Jiang Dao lives or dies?"
She smiled and leaned in to whisper sothing in Xie Huai’an’s ear.
Her soft voice brushed against his ears, making his skin feel even hotter.
As a result, he didn’t have the energy to think carefully, agreeing to her words one by one.
Realizing it, Xie Huai’an helplessly smiled, inwardly thinking, he truly experienced what it ant to be absent-minded.
The two rode together on a horse, yet he wanted the horse to slow down a bit so they could stay together longer.
Her body warmth seed to seep into his skin, flowing through his bloodstream.
By the ti they returned to Tunan City, it was already evening.
The two acted separately.
At this mont, in the Tuji Mansion courtyard, Jiang Dao’s people still hadn’t found the whereabouts of Jiang Zhen and his group, so they had Ayang An tied up.
Anxiously waiting for the City Lord to co for negotiation.
They were even ready for a final resistance!
Even if it ans fish dead and net broken, he would save his own life!
However, what awaited them was good news: "Young master, the City Lord said he won’t co today and told you to wait until tomorrow when he returns to the city."
"Not coming?!" After the initial joy, he imdiately kicked the person: "That ans there’s still a chance! Send more people to find Jiang Zhen!"
This joy hadn’t passed before more good news arrived! "Young master!! We’ve found them! Found them!"
Jiang Dao stood up rapidly in surprise and joy, quickly following the person.
When he saw Jiang Zhen bound tightly, his gaze turned cold instantly, staring at him intently. He approached triumphantly, grasping Jiang Zhen’s chin and mocking.
"You can’t escape my grasp! Jiang Zhen, you crippled, having your veins severed, did you think you could grow wings?!!"
He widened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a blade, fiercely gripping Jiang Zhen’s neck!
"I don’t have ti to waste with you! I’ll ask you one last ti! Where is the gold mine?!"
"If you don’t tell , not only you and your wife but also your cherished adoptive mother, I will make sure she doesn’t et a good end!"
Seeing Jiang Zhen’s eyes suddenly open wide, Jiang Dao began to sneer: "You don’t know, I’ve already found the whereabouts of Ruan Family."
Jiang Zhen said through clenched teeth: "That is your birth mother!"
"Birth mother?" Jiang Dao laughed.
"So what if she’s birth mother? A woman who betrayed trust, killed her husband with her own hands, caused my Jiang Family to be ransacked, when my Jiang Mansion could have prospered, I could have lived a life carefree in Mianzhou!"
"But because of her, I’ve been wandering and alone. My hatred for her is too much to express, why would I still rember her as my birth mother?!"
Jiang Dao, filled with hatred, gritted his teeth.
"But you are different, you are not Jiang Family, you don’t carry our blood, you respect her and protect her, so I’ve spent a lot of ti searching for her whereabouts."
"Now, at last, there’s so progress! She’s right at the nearby garrison, Jiang Zhen, I’m giving you one last chance! Tell the gold mine location, and I’ll spare her, otherwise..."
"What an ungrateful display! Jiang Dao, you keep saying mother hard your family, but it’s clearly your own doing! If Jiang Ruohuai didn’t exploit the people, didn’t conspire with evil, didn’t place your mother in danger, why would she fight back?"
"Shut up!" Jiang Dao punched him and fiercely tightened his grip on his neck.
Jiang Zhen felt excruciating pain, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Just as he was about to die, Jiang Dao kicked him away!
"Not going to talk, huh? People, take him away! I’ll deal with him well!"
Little did they know, on the rooftop not far away, Xie Huai’an’s eyes, sharp like a hawk, flashed coldly as he watched.
At the sa ti, Ruan Mian applied crushed herbs to Qin Sang’s wound.
After two days of nurturing with spiritual spring water and a combination of Western and Eastern dicine, Qin Sang’s wound had visibly improved.
For this, she was very grateful.
Ruan Mian saw it was about ti and comforted her to sleep.
She and Xie Huai’an separated, letting him escort Jiang Zhen, while she took care of Qin Sang, bathing her.
In fact, she had another plan.
After leaving the cellar, under the cover of night, she put on the Jade Bracelet.
At the hidden edge of the city wall, she summoned the White Tiger, speeding towards the gold mine.
By now, she was no longer willing to waste ti.
Riding along, capturing along, summoning along.
She gathered many beasts on the mountain, fully utilizing the space to capture pets and fed them spiritual spring water.
After Spirit Communication, she whispered into each spirit pet’s ear.
Soon, she led the spirit pets in a mighty charge into the gold mine.
With the roars of brown bears and tigers, a huge echo vibrated under the vast mine.
For that mont, everyone was terrified, their faces turning pale, unsure of the situation.
When they saw real beasts breaking through, chaos erupted onsite.
People ran, people fled, yet although the underground had many paths, the only few exits were known only by the guards.
Those exploited slaves could only flee aimlessly.
But those guards couldn’t reach the exits and were precisely torn apart by the beasts!
The candles inside the pit were extinguished by the beasts, in the pitch-dark space, Ruan Mian reached for the Jade Bracelet, moving all the mined gold and not yet mined ores into the space!
Next, she planned to gather those enslaved...
Compared to the chaos there, the Tuji Mansion was much calr. After an entire night of torture, Jiang Dao finally exited the room in joy, calling for the steward!
"Quick! Quickly prepare the horses for !"
