Thinking of this, Gu Yan turned to look at Yao Guang beside him and ordered solemnly: "Send someone to find out if the envoy encountered any unexpected situation on the road and why he was delayed for so long."

At this point, an idea suddenly flashed through Gu Yan's mind, and he frowned slightly, and continued: "Could it be that the bandit leader was so quick to get in touch with the person behind the scenes and interfere?

If this is true, the speed of reaction is amazing.

But this is also good. If they are the ones behind this, we can take this opportunity to follow the clues and find out the mastermind behind it, thus obtaining key clues."

Yaoguang was smart and understood her master's intention in an instant. She immediately clasped her fists and said, "As you command! I will arrange for someone to conduct a thorough investigation right away."

Gu Yan felt that since there had been some initial progress regarding the stone, it was time to inform Qingqing so that she would have some idea.

After all, this was God's compensation to her, and she was the owner of this gold mine.

Besides, he really missed her after not seeing her for a few days.

So that night, Gu Yan, who had not been seen for many days, came to the door of Gu Qingzhi's boudoir.

The flickering candlelight in the room illuminated the beautiful woman's pretty face.

Gu Yan knocked lightly on the door, and waited for a gentle response from inside before pushing it open and entering.

Upon seeing her brother whom she hadn't seen for several days, Gu Qingzhi's eyes were full of surprise. She stood up and walked forward, asking with concern, "Brother, how are you these days?"

Gu Yan smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, Qingqing, everything is fine. I came here today because of the matter about the stone, and there is a result."

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief embroidered with exquisite patterns from his bosom and handed it to his sister.

When Gu Qingzhi heard the news about the stone, she was excited. With trembling hands, she took the handkerchief and asked impatiently, "Brother, is it true? Could it be that this stone is related to gold as I guessed?"

Gu Yan smiled and nodded slightly, motioning her to open the handkerchief to find out.

Gu Qingzhi hurriedly reached out to unfold the handkerchief, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light shot into her eyes!

Looking closely, I saw a piece of gold as big as a young man's palm lying quietly in the handkerchief. The dazzling golden light seemed to illuminate the whole world.

Gu Qingzhi widened her eyes, staring in disbelief at the piece of gold in front of her that exuded endless charm, and felt that her eyes were about to be blinded by the dazzling light.

With trembling hands, she carefully picked up the piece of gold. She felt a heavy weight in her hands, and the real touch made her heart pound.

"Brother...Brother, is this really gold?" Gu Qingzhi asked with a trembling voice, but his eyes could not move away from the gold nugget in his hand.

She had never seen such a weight of gold before.

Gu Yan smiled slightly and said softly: "Yes, Qingqing, this is indeed gold.

My people discovered it while investigating in the nearby mountains. After preliminary estimation, we found that there is a high possibility of a gold mine hidden there.

However, its specific size is still unclear at present, but based on the current survey, the scale of this gold mine should not be small.

Therefore, we are now arranging personnel to carry out further detailed survey work..."

After hearing what Gu Yan said, Gu Qingzhi was stunned, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Recalling her previous thoughts, she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed and embarrassed - she originally thought that she was daydreaming, wondering how could there be gold in such a remote place?

At most, it's just a stone with slightly brighter color and more beautiful shape.

But who could have thought that the truly ignorant person was actually herself!

She fell into silence, not knowing what to say...

After a moment of silence, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but look up at Gu Yan and asked, "Brother, since a gold mine has been discovered here, do we have to stay here for a while longer?"

However, Gu Yan shook his head gently and replied, "No, the survey results of the gold mine will not come out so quickly.

Moreover, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done before the official mining, and it is possible to start mining in one or two years.

Moreover, given the huge potential shown by this gold mine, the future prospects are very promising.

Therefore, I decided to let my men stay and explore the area, while my brother has other important matters to deal with first."

What's more, his remaining vacation was about to end, and there were still many important matters that had not been dealt with. He really didn't have much free time to waste waiting here.

After all, it will take a long time before everything is settled and mining work can officially begin!

So, there is no need for them to stay here.

"Oh, by the way, pack your luggage quickly.

As soon as the people sent by the prince arrive here to take over the case, we will set off immediately."

Gu Qingzhi thought about it and agreed. It would take a long time to mine gold properly. She knew there were still many formalities to go through. "Brother, do you still plan to cooperate with Prince Zhao on this gold mine?"

The jade mine brother previously cooperated with Prince Zhao, after all, it was on his territory.

Gu Yan nodded slightly and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I will get the best price for you."

Gu Qingzhi is confused?

Looking at her cute appearance, Gu Yan's hands suddenly felt itchy. He really wanted to pinch her face. It must feel great.

However, at this moment, Gu Yan suddenly recalled the forest that night, which seemed like an unknown world full of mystery.

The mountains and forests in the night appear particularly quiet and profound. The starry sky shines that night, as if countless sparkling stars dotted it.

The night was so beautiful that he couldn't help but have an idea: before leaving, he should take some time to take Qingqing to the mountain to admire the charming starry sky.

At this time, Gu Qingzhi had already started to pack her luggage.

When she first came here, she only had a few items with her, but after living here for more than a month, she unknowingly had a lot more things.

She learned from Yaoguang that the messenger her brother had been waiting for had finally arrived, and after the handover was completed in a few days, her brother would be able to leave as he wished.

Just when Gu Qingzhi was busy, Yaoguang walked into the room hurriedly.

"Master, there has been new progress in that matter!"
