Liang Jinzhu and his clansmen, far away in Liangzhou, were digging the ground in full swing.
A young man poked his head out of the cave and shouted to Liang Jinzhu, "Chief! Lord Yuchi from the foot of the mountain is here."
Liang Jinzhu's face darkened: "Humph, now that the imperial court knows there is gold, they want to come and rob it!" Liang Jinzhu climbed up the cave cursing and came out fiercely with a shovel in his hand. When he saw Yuchi Feng, he roared viciously: "This is the gold mine I found! It's the gold mine of our Liang people, no one can steal it! Brothers! Come here, come here!"
Immediately, young men came over with shovels and spades, stood in a row, and faced Yuchi Feng fiercely.
Yuchi Feng frowned. Although the mountain people were few in number, they were extremely fierce and strong. Moreover, he did not want to be enemies with the mountain people. He was a general and should protect the people of Qian Dynasty instead of using swords and guns against them.
Therefore, Yuchi Feng put aside his airs as a general and said kindly: "Chief Liang, please don't misunderstand. The court will not rob your gold mine."
Liang Jinzhu's expression improved slightly after hearing this, but there was still wariness in his eyes, especially towards Yuchi Shaolang. He knew that the white-haired boy was powerful, and there were rumors about the white-haired devil in the village.
"However, I would like to remind Chief Liang that an expert once reminded me that there are mines in Liangzhou that cannot be mined, so please think twice, Chief Liang." Yuchi Feng clasped his fists, his expression extremely serious.
Liang Jinzhu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha - hahahaha -" The one who laughed at him seemed to be superstitious.
When the tribesmen nearby saw the patriarch laughing, they also started laughing.
Liang Jinzhu smiled for a while, sneered at Bai Yuchifeng, and waved his hand: "Keep digging!"
"Okay!" The young and strong men went back one after another.
Yuchi Feng was about to step forward but was stopped by several young men.
Yuchi Feng gave Yuchi Shaolang a look, and Yuchi Shaolang immediately picked up a young man with one hand, and scared the other young men who were trying to stop Yuchi Feng so much that they gave way.
"Get out of the way!" Yuchi Shao shouted fiercely. His sharp eyes were like those of a wolf king in the mountains, making people shudder.
Yuchi Shaolang threw the two young men in his hands away, and no one else dared to step forward.
With Yuchi Shaolang leading the way, Yuchi Feng went straight into the Liang clan's forbidden area. He saw a pile of earth on the construction site ahead, and someone was carrying the earth up from the hole. Everyone was excited.
Yuchi Feng hurried forward, but everyone was busy digging for gold and no one cared about him.
Yuchi Feng looked into the cave and saw that the earth walls had been completely dug away by the Liang people. Wherever the sunlight reached, it was shining with golden light. It was gold for sure!
On the ground, there were large pieces of gold that had been chiseled out. After half a day's work, they had made considerable achievements. One of the golden walls had sunk deeply, almost becoming a passage, and inside the deep passage, there was still gold, as if the gold here had no end.
But the gold in a gold mine would not cover a whole wall like this, and it would be so smooth. He felt that this was not a gold mine, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Dad, I feel there is danger." Yuchi Shaolang stared at the dark cave vigilantly. Following the wolf mother gave him a special keen sense. He seemed to have heard something and grabbed Yuchi Feng's arm, "Dad, let's go quickly, there seems to be something in there."
Yuchi Feng looked at Yuchi Shaolang in surprise: "Is there something in there?"
"Well. We can't dig anymore!" Yuchi Shaolang's expression suddenly became nervous. He grabbed Yuchi Feng's arm even tighter and even used all his strength to pull it back. "Dad! The sound is getting louder! Let's go!"
Yuchi Feng sensed a huge danger from Yuchi Shaolang's nervous expression, because even among the ferocious beasts in the mountains, Shaolang had never shown such a nervous look.
He immediately shouted into the cave: "Chief Liang! Stop digging! It's dangerous!"
The people at the bottom of the cave were trying their best to chisel out the gold, so they would never listen to Yuchi Feng's words.
Liang Jinzhu stopped and turned his head to look up fiercely at Yuchi Feng: "Master Yuchi, listen, Liangzhou has always been governed by us mountain people. We, the Liang family, have been here for a thousand years! Let us protect this place well, it turns out to be a treasure left to us by our ancestors! We will not hand it over to the court!"
Yuchi Feng was also angry above the cave. If he had been like that, he would have captured Liang Jinzhu long ago. He tried to hold back his anger and continued to persuade him kindly: "Chief Liang, this place is really dangerous! Don't dig any more. So, what you dug is yours, and don't dig the rest. Bury it well. Our court won't come to take it away. You continue to guard this place."
After hearing this, Liang Jinzhu looked at Yuchi Feng for a while, and laughed out loud again: "Hahahaha - hahahaha -" It seemed as if he was mocking Yuchi Feng's stupidity. If he didn't dig for gold, wouldn't he be a fool? !
The others also stopped and laughed together.
“Hahahaha—hahaha—”
"Bang!" Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the dug-out golden passage, and the young man standing at the end couldn't help but move closer to the golden wall.
“Bang!” There was another sound, and the man was startled and shouted: “Everyone, stop laughing! Stop laughing! Chief! There is something behind this!”
Everyone stopped laughing and looked at him. Liang Jinzhu walked into the passage in disbelief and stood in front of the golden wall: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be something behind the gold?!"
Liang Jinzhu also moved closer to the golden wall.
However, the entire cave was silent, without a single sound.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Yuchi Feng lowered his voice and said, "Chief Liang! Now, as the governor of Liangzhou, I order you to stop digging! Bury this place again!" Yuchi Feng's stern shout echoed in the cave.
Liang Jinzhu gave Yuchi Feng a funny look and said, "I'm telling you too, don't even mention you as the governor! Even if your emperor comes, don't try to stop us from digging for gold! Is it wrong that we are digging for the gold our ancestors left us?!"
Everyone started laughing again.
"Bang!" At this moment, there was another muffled sound, which froze everyone's smiles on their faces. Everyone became quiet again.
This time the sound of the collision was particularly clear, traveling along the golden passage and entering everyone's ears.
Liang Jinzhu showed a puzzled look on his face. He picked up the shovel in his hand and looked at the golden wall in front of him in disbelief: "What is behind this?" As he said that, he shoveled into the golden wall in front of him.
The mountain people have been dealing with wild animals since they were young, so they are really brave. Even if they hear the sound, they are not afraid. There is only gold in front of them. No matter what is behind them, it can't stop them from digging gold!
“Stop digging! Stop digging—” Yuchi Feng shouted anxiously at the entrance of the cave, and Yuchi Shaolang’s silver eyes widened. He immediately grabbed Yuchi Feng’s arm: “They are coming out! Dad! Let’s go!”
They? Yuchi Feng was confused and surprised. Who are they? (To be continued)
