Chapter 13 Could it be that she is a craftsman?
If the tribute is only one thousand, doesn’t the rest belong to Xiao Jiuxi?
Xiao Jiuxi shouldn't mind selling some cattle and sheep, right?
After all, the wool comes from the sheep, mainly to help him pay off his debts!
The more Li Yewu thought about it, the more she realized it was true, and her steps became much lighter.
After digging the first pot of gold, paying off the debt, and cultivating the fields, she will develop the breeding industry.
Slowly penetrate step by step, and the dream town is right before your eyes!
…
When the midday sun shone from the treetops, Li Yewu finally arrived at Cuiwei Mountain.
Cuiwei Mountain does not refer to a mountain. If you look around, you can see a stretch of stone forest and hills, which are all the territory of Cuiwei Mountain.
It's almost as the old housekeeper said here. There is really no jungle cover and not many animals.
Moreover, there are no roads as you go inward, and many places are even very wet. It can be seen that although there are no rivers passing through here, the underground water system is very rich.
As they walked, everyone's path was blocked by endless weeds.
Cuiwei Mountain is inaccessible and few people come here.
The entourage was a little confused looking at the ruined wasteland.
"Little madam, there seems to be no road ahead."
Compared with the anxiety of his entourage, Li Yewu was very calm.
She randomly pulled out a piece of wild grass and observed it carefully. She saw that the grass stood in the sand, with very long roots. Its straight shape was similar to that of rice and bamboo reeds, but it was much thinner than rice and bamboo reeds.
And they cover a very wide area, with clumps and piles almost covering the entire road.
But seeing the grass, Li Yewu curled her lips happily.
In modern times, people rely on advanced instruments to explore underground gold mines. However, in the era without instruments, people could only search for gold mines based on oral experience.
The secret technique of gold panning based on Feng Shui has long been lost, but the method of identifying the location of gold mines by relying on plants has been retained.
At this time, what Li Yewu was holding in his hand was the legendary money-grubbing grass-Jingcao.
Horsetail grass will only grow in places with gold mines. They use metal elements as nutrients and rely on it to grow crazily.
Generally speaking, whenever you encounter a place with dense horsetail grass, there must be a gold mine underneath.
However, it is impossible to tell whether it is more than ten meters or tens of meters deep. You will have to dig to find out.
However, the wattle grass is so dense on the outside of Cuiwei Mountain. Wouldn't it be even more dense as you go deeper?
Sure enough, there are gold mines here.
Li Yewu was so excited that her blood was boiling.
Originally she just wanted to take a gamble.
After all, after looking at the map of Taihe Prefecture, she had an intuition that in a place with such a developed water system and such long mountains, there must be gold mines.
Then Li Yewu circled the places that may contain gold mines based on the terrain, climate, and various calculations.
Unexpectedly, I guessed it right.
Faced with the doubts of the accompanying guards, Li Yewu did not hesitate and took the lead.
"Don't worry, everyone, follow me. If the sky falls, I will be there to hold you up."
Li Yewu's rather domineering words made all the followers behind him stunned, and they inexplicably saw the shadow of their master in her body.
Just when everyone was looking at each other, the old housekeeper patted them on the shoulder.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up and follow the little madam."
Everyone came to their senses and hurriedly followed.
The old butler still followed slowly, but as he went further in, his eyes became weirder.
This place...why does it always feel familiar?
…
Li Yewu led the group all the way deeper and finally stopped after bypassing several large hills.
This place is surrounded by mountains, and a large area of horsetail grass is densely grown. It grows taller than a person.
Standing here, people feel like they are sitting at the bottom of a well.
Li Yewu nodded with bright eyes: "We have arrived at our destination!"
"???"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, not knowing what kind of trick this could be.
"Our task in the next few days is to pull weeds and dig into the ground. There are good things in there."
Li Yewu didn't hide it either. They would know it when the gold mine was dug out anyway.
Instead of explaining it then, it is better to explain it now, at least to express my trust in them.
As expected, the followers were ready and ready.
The "good stuff" that can be dug out of the ground will naturally not be ordinary.
It is also very likely...an ancient tomb.
Thinking of this, everyone felt uneasy in their eyes.
Do you really...really want to dig a dead man's grave?
But this damn place is so wet, it doesn't look like there is a tomb.
Seeing everyone's uneasiness, Li Yewu thought they were not confident enough, so he added:
"I have no choice. The huge debt owed by your master can only be repaid by this. You don't want your master to be ruined and be scolded by His Majesty, right?
The fact that the old housekeeper can bring you here shows that you are trustworthy, but I still want to emphasize that today's events are all in your stomach, so don't tell others, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."
When Li Yewu said this, she was neither humble nor overbearing, her eyes were firm, and although she was a weak woman, she revealed a strong sense of authority.
The followers unconsciously stood up straight and listened carefully. When she finished speaking, they nodded in response.
Looking at this scene, the old housekeeper felt that he had seen the appearance of His Majesty's military order for the expedition, and he felt a little enlightened for a moment.
Is this girl... really just a flower girl? Could it be that she is from another country?
But why did Xizuo come to Taihe City to stir up trouble instead of going to the imperial capital?
Furthermore, the master’s intelligence network cannot be wrong.
The little madam's net worth should be innocent.
However... what this girl did at this moment was not something a flower girl could do.
The old housekeeper was filled with doubts.
Until he entered the mountain, he naively thought that the young lady only went to the mountain to hunt for mountain goods and save his master.
But now, after seeing the majesty of the superior revealed by the young lady, he was at a loss again.
The old housekeeper looked up blankly and looked around, trying to clear his mind, but was stunned again.
He saw a crooked-necked pine tree on the edge of the mountain to the west, and the crooked-necked tree suddenly reminded him of something familiar.
This place...he has really been here!!!
It's just that he went to the other side of the mountain, and this side is roughly the back of that mountain.
However……
No matter before or after, there is indeed an ancient tomb at the foot of this mountain. It is... the tomb of King Yuanying, the ancestor of Taihe Kingdom!
The old housekeeper looked at Li Yewu with a complicated expression, and now he was more convinced that she was a craftsman.
Only the master and he knew about this ancient tomb. How did the young lady know about it?
Could it be that she came here just for this ancient tomb?
However, how dare she be so bold and directly order people from Prince Zhang's Mansion to dig out? Isn't she afraid that Prince Zhang's Mansion will find out her true identity?
Or...is this what the master told her? Asking her to take out the treasure to pay off the debt?
No...it can't be right? With how petty the master is, he will take the initiative to repay the debt?
Also, if the master told the young lady that the young lady should enter from the entrance of the ancient tomb, why would she come to the back?
And what if the tomb collapses due to such rough excavation?
The old housekeeper was brainstorming and felt like he was going crazy.
