In the early morning of the second day, Yunshang and Chengye woke up at dawn, and the mother and son went to the bow of the boat to find chairs to sit on.
"Riding on a boat is not fun." The chair was a bit high, and Chengye sat on the chair dangling his legs.
Hearing what Chengye said, the man on the boat beside him couldn't help laughing: "It's actually quite fun, but of course it's not fun to sit like a young master."
Chengye turned his head to look at the guy: "Then how can we play for fun?"
The man smiled and said: "You can cast a net to catch fish, swim in the water, catch shells in the water, and play with shrimps and crabs."
"Really?"
"Yes, but you are about to get off the boat, otherwise I can cast a net and catch a net of fish for you to see."
Chengye was not too disappointed: "Mother said, we will also take a boat when we go back. It will take a long time. I can ask the people on the boat to teach me."
"But you are seasick." Yun Shang hit him with a smile.
Hearing this, the guy went to the back and fetched a piece of ginger: "If you get seasick, try crushing this ginger and applying it on your navel. We do this for seasickness here, and it's still useful. But I think it's the best way to deal with seasickness." A good way is to take more boats, vomit and vomit, and get used to it.”
Yun Chang couldn't help laughing out loud: "Well, I'm used to it when I spit it out."
"Mother, it's bad." Chengye snorted softly, turned his head and didn't speak.
Yun Shang noticed what the guy said just now: "Is it almost there? Are we going to disembark soon?"
"Yes. The place you are going to is Huayangzhuang not far from Anyongzhuang, but Huayangzhuang has no pier, only Anyongzhuang has one, so we can only send you to the pier of Anyongzhuang. When you arrive After a short walk, we will arrive at Huayang Village."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Something happened in An Yong Zhuang the night before yesterday, it is best for you to bypass An Yong Zhuang, get off the boat, walk south along the Haitian River for a while, and then take the three-way intersection The road to the north bypasses An Yong Zhuang."
Yun Shang nodded: "Thank you, brother, I'll make a note of it."
After a while, I vaguely saw a pier. The pier was not too big and a bit dilapidated.
"It's there." The man pointed to the pier, Yun Shang nodded, took Chengye back to the room, packed up his things, and walked to the bow to get off the boat.
Before arriving at the pier, Yunshang could vaguely smell a sulfur smell in the air.
Yun Chang raised her head, looked over there, and saw a mountain not far away, revealing a yellow rocky land.
It should be there.
Yun Chang thought to herself, curling her fingers slightly.
When the boat stopped at the pier, Yunshang took Chengye off the boat, watched the boat set sail again, and then sent a signal to the secret guards who were with Li Mu in Anyongzhuang.
Not long after, a dark guard came to meet him.
"When we just came here before, we found that An Yongzhuang was very heavily guarded. It was only after we really went deep and blasted the mountain away that we realized that this was clearly an empty city plan they sang to us."
Yun Chang nodded: "The bombing of the mountain this time caused quite a commotion. Just now when I came here, the boat owner was still saying that there were already rumors outside that the bombing of the mountain was done by the rebels. Ore was found on the mountain, so the mountain was exploded to mine, and the ore was sold for silver to supplement military supplies."
The dark guard laughed when he heard the words: "Don't talk about it, we really found a mine in this mountain."
Yun Shang paused: "Is there really a mine?"
"yes."
Yun Shang heard the words, but frowned: "What mine? Gold mine?"
"It's not a gold mine, it's an iron mine." The dark guard pursed his lips: "Although the fortifications in the mountain were completely destroyed when the rebels left, we still found an iron-making furnace in the mountain."
Yunshang held Chengye's hand tighter: "We have been guessing before that Xia Houjing took away the people in Ganhe County and some nearby counties, and hid in this mountain to train soldiers. If there are soldiers, horses, maybe they can secretly It was sent from Yelang Kingdom, but where did the weapons come from?"
"Before the rebel army changed in Jincheng Palace, the weapons they used were sickles and kitchen knives from the common people's homes. I wondered if they also used those things, but they were refined again and turned into weapons. But I didn't expect that there are iron mines in this mountain."
"No wonder..." Yunshang narrowed her eyes and looked at the mountain that was devastated by the bombing: "If there is iron ore in this mountain, then it will really help the rebels."
"Is the iron ore in this mountain almost fully mined?" Yunshang asked in a low voice.
"No, some of them have not yet been mined." The dark guard led the way in front: "It is expected that there should be abundant minerals. They really don't have the energy to mine all of them, and they didn't expect that we would blow up this mountain directly."
"In fact, there is more unmined than mined."
Yun Chang nodded: "This is convenient for us."
After a pause, he said again: "Xia Houjing is already a living dead, and the soldiers here have been transferred away, so although there are guards here to confuse our eyes, they have not turned to Wu'an City. After passing the news, the Wu clan probably didn't know that Xia Houjing made such a thing here, so the defenses here are not too strict."
"It will take time for the rebels in Wu'an City to get the news and rush over. This time is our chance."
Yunshang squinted her eyes: "Send someone to the nearest city...Yinzhou City, dispatch troops and horses. As fast as possible, as many as possible, together with the navy, guard the mountain. From then on , this mountain is our residence."
The dark guard responded and ordered someone to handle the matter.
When we reached the mountain, it was completely dark.
Li Mu greeted him, greeted Yun Shang, his eyes fell on Cheng Ye, and he was taken aback for a moment: "This is..."
"Xia Chengye, Prince Xia."
"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
In front of people, Chengye was very calm, and just nodded slightly: "General Li, please, I also heard my mother mention the general when I was on the road, and the mother praised the general very much. The general has worked hard this time, and the general has done a great job." Well, after returning to the imperial city, there will be rewards."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."
Seeing Chengye's appearance, Yun Chang smiled with the corners of her lips curled up, and then her eyes fell on Li Mu. Li Mu should have just come from the mountains, and his body was covered with mud.
"how's it going?"
"Today, I went around the mountain inside and out, and got a general understanding of the situation in the mountain. Please come with me, my lady, and I will explain it to my lady and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
