To say that this gold mine has not yet been discovered is because the area where it is located is really remote, and it is almost in the original territory of Xidi. It takes a lot of money to secretly transport the extracted gold nuggets to the far north. With a lot of work, someone else would definitely not be able to take on this errand, but Ye Jia could.
When the Yejia ancestors developed the tea house business, they once opened up an ancient tea-horse road there. It is still used as one of the most important trade routes of the Yejia. All the checkpoints on the road from the southwest border to the capital can be seen everywhere. It will be released smoothly to the antler emblem, so there is no problem in secretly transporting gold nuggets.
It's just that this is just a section of the road in the middle. It's going to go to the Northland, which is not within the Ye family's sphere of influence, so the route needs to be pondered more, not to mention Ye Huaili is currently staying in the capital and needs to be in his eyelids. To do this kind of thing underneath must be hidden and then hidden.
Ten days later, Ye Huaiyang went to Tianqi Tower in person.
"Ciyuan, has Manager Zheng from Youzhou returned to the book?"
"Miss Hui, please take a look at the urgent letter that just arrived half an hour ago."
Ci Yuan took out a paper envelope from the dark golden box, bowed and handed it to Ye Huaiyang, Ye Huaiyang looked down at it for a moment, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the brazier next to him, saying: "Take the map Come."
A huge sheepskin scroll was spread out on the table. Whether it was mountains, rivers, or city fortresses, it was clearly drawn. Ye Huaiyang looked around for a while, and soon found the route described in the letter. The fingertips slid along the way, and several triangular flags fell, and finally settled at the end point.
"Starting from Youzhou, passing through Yong'an and Junxian County to Fengzhou, there are two routes to choose from. In my opinion, it is better to take the land route of Changzhou. On the way, there are people from Yejia in major cities who can support. The waterway of Lang Gorge in the middle of Shu is different. Although it takes a short time, the terrain is steep. If you encounter an experienced water bandit, you can tell what is inside just by the size of the boat and the water level. It's too risky."
"My subordinates also think that it is better to go overland. After all, this business line has been going for many years, and I have dealt with the local green forests. There should be no problems. Just in case, we can also set up connections in these places people and horses."
Ci Yuan marked a few more places on the map, Ye Huaiyang pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Apart from you and him, you must not let a third person know about this matter. You personally take someone to Youzhou to keep an eye on me."
"Yes, miss, this subordinate will let them pack their bags and prepare to go."
"Wait." Ye Huaiyang suddenly stopped him, his eyes were deep, as if covered with a layer of gray fog, "Mr. Zheng is an old man of the Ye family, and he is familiar with the business routes over there, so leave this matter to him. I'm very relieved, it's a double insurance for you to go, so you should know how important this matter is to me, if you stab my eldest brother like last time, you don't have to go back to me, understand?"
Ci Yuan's face changed slightly, and there seemed to be a lot of worry looming, and finally he pulled back and said in a low voice: "This subordinate understands."
After that, several groups of people left Tianqi Building one after another, and the building suddenly became empty. Ye Huaiyang was busy all morning, and was a little tired. Looking at the time, it happened to be dinner time, and she immediately remembered that she was not at home. People stared at Chu Jinglan to eat, fearing that he was going to fool him again, so he ordered the guards to drive back to the house.
At the time of the Spring Festival, there were not many people on the street, and there was no obstruction all the way, but it took two quarters of an hour to enter the workshop. Who would have heard the noise before arriving at the palace. There was a carriage with the Meng family emblem printed on it, and a few maids and maids who were dressed in extremely festive clothes waited quietly beside them.
Xu Shi had been waiting for a long time, and the middle-aged woman at the head looked a little impatient. When she saw a carriage slowly approaching, the little girl sitting inside lifted the curtain and looked over here. Under the car window, he opened his bright red mouth and said, "The girl is so handsome, I wonder if Xu Ren is not?"
Ye Huaiyang was slightly startled, and then remembered that she had casually combed her ponytail today. It was no wonder that the woman looked away, but she did not rush to answer, and her eyes swept lightly over the conspicuous star at the corner of the woman's mouth. When the black mole was linked to the posture at the door, she immediately understood.
Meng Chen is back.
Jiao Rong gradually cooled down, like an ice thorn hanging under the eaves of the 39th Frost Winter, the cold light was terrifying, but the middle-aged woman didn't notice it at all, and smiled and handed a piece of paper over, saying: "Girl, I am She is the matchmaker of the first-tier shop in the east of the city, if there is any marriage in your family in the future, please take care of the business of the small shop!"
A first-line museum, a hundred years of love and double hearts, and a thousand miles of marriage lead by one line, very good.
"Blind you..."
Crescent Moon scolded her in a rush, but was interrupted by Ye Huaiyang's light and misty voice: "Are you entrusted by someone to come to Lan Wangfu to form a mandarin duck alliance?"
"Exactly!" The middle-aged woman nodded again and again, not forgetting a few words of flattery, "The girl is really good at eyesight, to say that this client is also a strange woman, she brought her brother directly to the door and said that she wanted to propose marriage to the prince, the slave family does this business In more than ten years, this is the first time I have seen such a courageous girl..."
"Enough!" Crescent Moon glared at her fiercely, she immediately shrank back in fright, and then looked at Ye Huaiyang's face, only to realize later that something was wrong.
Oops, shouldn't it be someone's fault
The middle-aged woman glanced back and forth, and asked nervously, "Girl... But the resident of this workshop?"
Ye Huaiyang looked at her with a half-smile, and after a while, she tugged at the corner of her lips and said, "Yes, I live in the Yefu next door."
After she finished speaking, she released her hand, and the green curtain hung down, isolating the strong fragrance from the outside. The middle-aged woman was stunned and wanted to ask a few more questions, but she heard her say, "Crescent Moon, go home."
The carriage drove straight into Yefu in front of everyone.
After getting out of the car, Ye Huaiyang walked into Lingyun Pavilion like a fly, and the backhand was locked, and Crescent Moon was locked outside unexpectedly, so she couldn't help but screamed twice, she walked up to the top floor as if she hadn't heard it. , stood silent for a moment in the center of the room, and then slowly sat on the beauty couch.
She said how could Meng Chen be willing to go back to the North, after a long time to go to rescue soldiers, betrothed? This carbine kills really beautifully!
Counting the days, only ten days have passed since New Year's Eve. She is afraid that she will come back overnight after the New Year's Eve at home. I don't know which brother she brought? I really want to make trouble with her!
Ye Huaiyang took a deep breath and was about to plan a countermeasure, when she suddenly remembered Ye Huaili's stern dissuasion against her before, and her heart ached.
Yes, how can she compare to Meng Chen, she has always fought alone.
Once the negative emotions appeared, they could no longer be contained. She immediately thought that since Meng Chen dared to bring someone to the door, it must have been approved by his parents. If Chu Jinglan did not agree to the marriage, then Meng Qi's 100,000 employees Will the army still be available to him in the future
In other words, they brought a 100,000 army as a betrothal gift, and although her brother held a 200,000 Guanzhong iron cavalry, he was going to be the enemy of Chu Jinglan. Even though she was confident that she could win over Meng Chen, she couldn't win real military power. She knew what Chu Jinglan wanted most now.
Thinking of this, her heart seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss all of a sudden, and countless bloody mouths were scraped by the branches and vines, and the pain was unbearable.
She leaned on the couch, grabbed the copper bell hanging beside her and curled up.
There is nothing she can do, even if there is, she can't use it.
Ye Huaiyang slowly closed her eyes and tried to calm her boiling heart, but the thought of Chu Jinglan talking about marriage with Meng Chen hurts so badly, as if there was a sharp piece of thin ice pressing against her chest, making her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't help trembling.
She was reluctant to share him.
The deeper the relationship, the greater the desire. If it were changed to the past, she would definitely not dare to ask for these things, but now that she has tasted the goodness of Chu Jinglan, she is like a gluttonous child. Refused to let go.
But for his great cause, she must let go.
The hand holding the copper bell was so hard that it turned white, the thin and sharp notch on the edge had cut through her skin, and the dazzling blood beads rolled down from the wrist, but she seemed not to feel it at all until the door opened again. There is a sound.
"Yang'er, open the door."
Ye Huaiyang froze, almost thinking that she had hallucinations. Just as she stared blankly at the door, the man outside suddenly lost her patience, and suddenly used her inner strength to break the latch, and then walked towards her on the fine sunlight. Come.
When he got close, Chu Jinglan casually caught a glimpse of the scarlet lines, and the dark clouds rolled over in his eyes. Then he quickly took her hand and asked, "What's going on?"
Ye Huaiyang didn't speak, just stared at him blankly.
"Yang'er, let go!"
Chu Jinglan drank a low voice, Jun Rong got a hint of impatience. Seeing that she still didn't move, she simply started to do it herself. She carefully opened the tight jade fingers, and then found a shallow wound in the palm of her hand. He did not do anything else. Thinking about it, she immediately tore off the silk handkerchief from her waist and wrapped it around it.
Perhaps it was the pain that brought him back to his senses, Ye Huaiyang finally spoke up, but asked a question he had never thought of anyway.
"You don't marry Meng Chen anymore?"
Chu Jinglan was stunned for a moment, and then a sullen look appeared. His tall body suddenly approached, and his voice forced him: "You hid here without even entering the house. Do you think I will marry her?"
Ye Huaiyang was stunned by his appearance, and spit out a sentence: "She has an army of 100,000..."
"You bastard!"
Chu Jinglan's eyes were cold, and her chest was constantly heaving. She was so angry that she couldn't speak, and then he suddenly bullied her and pressed her down. Before she could react, his hands were already raised above his head, and his waist When it got cold, he almost violently pulled out the lake-blue ribbon, and swayed several times in front of her eyes, but she couldn't move any more. She looked up, and his wrist was firmly tied to the top of the soft couch. openwork wooden frame.
This situation finally made Ye Huaiyang realize what she had said wrong. She struggled to get out, but was held down by Chu Jinglan. In the next second, he tore off her underwear and ru skirt to shreds. Hongrui trembled in the icy air, and was immediately taken into his mouth.
She couldn't help groaning.
"Would you like me to touch her like this?" Chu Jinglan raised his head, his eyes were cold, and there was a hint of anger. Ye Huaiyang was about to speak, when he suddenly stepped forward and slammed into her, and continued to ask her viciously, "Still touching her like this?"
Ye Huaiyang whimpered twice, her words out of tune: "I don't want to... woo..."
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you go home?"
"I'm a turtle with a shriveled head..." Ye Huaiyang sobbed a few times, and there was already a cry in her intermittent words, "I'm afraid I'll bump into... I bump into you and be good to her..."
Chu Jinglan laughed angrily, holding her nephrite jade with one hand and kneading her vigorously, her palms were hot, tormenting every inch of her skin like a raging fire, making her tense her body, but she couldn't help trembling. Suddenly, she bumped in again, and the clear sound of water almost made her so ashamed that she was about to faint.
"The 100,000 army sold me, but you gave her and me a good price!"
Ye Huaiyang couldn't explain it anymore, he opened his mouth and moaned.
"You know what's wrong?"
Ye Huaiyang shook her head again, then nodded her head vigorously, the sweat on her long eyelashes was about to fall, scattered crystal and broken light, and then hung down weakly, Accompanied by her delicate sobbing and panting, it made him feel pity, and his heart softened, and his anger disappeared.
"Ye Huaiyang, listen to me, I only need you in this life. If you don't have an army of 100,000 people, you will owe it first."
Chu Jinglan lifted her waist and hugged her into his arms, as if he was holding a ball of cotton wool in, softly and trembling non-stop. While he stopped attacking, he rubbed her back to calm her down. He finally got his voice back, but it didn't take a moment for water to light up in his eyes again.
"I-I can't afford it..."
"You can afford it." Chu Jinglan leaned over and kissed her blushing lips, with a soft light in his eyes, "When everything settles down, a child can be worth 30,000 yuan, and you can play the rest freely."
Ye Huaiyang was stunned, the water mist filled his eyes, like drizzle in March, every bit fell on Chu Jinglan's shoulders.
It was her who was chasing, and she was the one who fell in first, but she never expected that he would be so affectionate, more like she could see into all her thoughts and know that she wanted a child...
No more words could be uttered in her mouth, Ye Huaiyang threw herself into Chu Jinglan's arms with a smile, but she burst into tears. Chu Jinglan kissed her forehead silently, with the utmost tenderness, her arms tightening again. tight, as if to embed her in his own body.
