The guards didn't know they were going up the mountain to look for minerals, so they didn't prepare anything else around them.

We were still spending time in the mountains, so someone took out a bag of iron sand and said with a smile: "Come on, let's see if there is any iron ore first."

Iron sand is an unprocessed mineral mined from magnetite.

Naturally magnetic.

It makes sense to use magnets to find iron.

but……

Xue Qingyin was still surprised: "Why do you still carry this thing with you?"

"Princess, don't you know? This product can be used for bleeding sores, carbuncles, sores and sores."

“Even bruises, burns from water and fire, etc.”

The guards hurriedly explained to her one after another.

Xue Qingyin was shocked.

Can this thing...can still be swallowed? Or can it be applied externally?

This was just as shocking as when she learned that cockroach liquid was widely used as medicine.

It’s just that I’m out of touch, she thought to herself.

The crowd took the iron sand and started looking around. They knew it well and knew they couldn't go too far, so they stayed together in twos and twos to guard against accidents.

For a while, only King Xuan and Xue Qingyin were left.

And there are two personal guards who are still beside them, seemingly determined to protect them to the end.

Xue Qingyin is a little worried, so what should we do?

I am worried.

King Xuan suddenly stretched out his hand, came around from behind her, and pinched her cheek.

"Um?"

"Yinyin, do you still remember what you said?"

"What?...I, let me think about it."

Xue Qingyin thought to herself that I talk so much every day that I really can’t remember what I said.

"Your Highness..." A reminder?

Before Xue Qingyin could finish her words, King Xuan pressed her lips with his fingers.

She suddenly woke up.

Didn't she just say that casually at that time? She just wanted to cooperate with King Xuan in both directions and deceive Qian Zixu that they were coming to the forest to do something invisible.

Do you really remember it?

She was suddenly grabbed by King Xuan and spun around in a circle.

Face him head on.

Wisps of moonlight squeezed into the gaps and fell on King Xuan's face.

The cold moonlight cast an extra layer of coldness on his handsome features.

But he lowered his head and kissed her.

Movements are gentle.

"Your Highness!" A guard suddenly shouted in a suppressed voice.

"Your Highness, Princess!" This time he called both of them directly.

King Xuan: "..."

He let go.

Xue Qingyin distanced herself from him and saw that his eyebrows seemed colder than the moonlight.

Xue Qingyin grinned evilly, picked up her skirt, turned around, and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

King Xuan grabbed her waist from behind, and with a gentle force, he hugged her up.

Now Xue Qingyin's feet couldn't even touch the ground.

She opened her eyes wide and fluttered twice.

Just listen to King Xuan say: "Don't run around, watch out for the branches."

Then he hugged Xue Qingyin over.

"With His Highness's great blessing, we are really very lucky." Several guards greeted King Xuan with burning eyes.

Only then did they squeeze out excited voices from their throats: "Iron! There is really iron!"

In ancient times, due to technical reasons, only surface ores could be mined.

If buried too deep, it will be difficult for them to dig.

Mines that can be mined by Qian Zixu are naturally very easy to mine.

Xue Qingyin lowered her head when she heard the sound, but saw nothing.

She herself had never seen what an iron mine looked like, so she couldn't tell the difference.

The guard asked: "Your Highness, do you want to dig deeper?"

"There's no need to move now." King Xuan said.

"That's right, so as not to alarm Qian Zixu."

The mine is here anyway, can anyone else move it away overnight?

None of them mentioned it and spent the whole night writing a letter to complain to His Majesty.

There is still hope for opening a gold mine.

If you open iron mines privately, you might want to punish the three tribes, which is equivalent to being convicted of conspiracy!

After all, weapons can be made by smelting iron, and young men in the mines can easily become their own private soldiers.

This would never be tolerated by Emperor Liang De, who had a strong desire for control.

They walked around again.

I didn't find anything else this time, except that I picked two more mushrooms.

"The roads to Xingzhou in the capital are blocked, there are many foreign races, and poverty is endless. Now that I have walked more in the mountains, I have discovered that there are many tree species and medicinal materials." The guards couldn't help but sigh.

This is not surprising.

Areas with large mineral reserves often have lush mountains and forests, and are quite rich in plant and animal resources.

King Xuan said: "It is indeed a treasured place." However, even after saying this, his face remained calm.

The guards greatly agreed.

"Yin Yin found this treasure land." King Xuan's voice changed.

The personal guards quickly added: "Princess Hui has a pure heart and is unparalleled in intelligence. She is truly admired by her subordinates."

If the princess hadn't insisted on coming, how would they have achieved such a harvest?

Xue Qingyin couldn't help laughing.

What did I find? Qian Zixu would be very angry after hearing this...

I don't know how much time passed before they went down the mountain.

Qian Zixu couldn't bear to sleep. Before going to bed, he couldn't help but murmur to himself that King Xuan was really full of interest and was not afraid of mosquito bites...

At this time, the sky had not yet brightened, and a letter passed through the Junzhong Station and was quickly sent to the capital.

When it was sent to Emperor Liang De's desk, he was not surprised at all.

"To encounter trouble so quickly, it seems that Princess Xuan is no match for Qian Zixu..." Emperor Liang De shook the letter in his hand and said with a smile.

Naturally, the chamberlain on the side did not dare to look out, so he just answered and asked: "Is your highness asking for help in your letter?"

"King Xuan is naturally not going to ask for help. He is really willing to lose face for Qingyin. He actually asked me to add Xingzhou to his fiefdom. If I nodded, Qian Zixu would become a subject of his fiefdom. This

You want to legitimately use your power to suppress others."

"Then Your Majesty...do you want to answer His Majesty's request?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't understand, I don't dare to speak nonsense."

Emperor Liang De seemed to be in a good mood and said: "Xingzhou is poor, so I can't live with it in terms of face."

"Come here, study ink!"

Emperor Liang De smiled: "I will send another three million taels to Princess Xuan."
