After being exiled, the Crown Princess rose to the top by pitting the villain

Oh yes, before leaving, Lin Zili increased the dosage of the medicine for the Zheng family guards. After all, Hangzhou is far away, and the effect of this medicine cannot last for long.

After everything was done, a strange scene appeared. A group of people lined up and walked down the mountain in the dark night. When they reached the foot of the mountain, the guards of the Li and Zheng families parted ways and left in two directions.

As for what would happen between the Zheng and Li families in the future, it was not within Lin Zili's consideration.

Everyone was in awe of Lin Zili's ability to poison, especially the bandits. After the crisis was resolved, they burst into tears of gratitude towards Lin Zili.

"Thank you ma'am for saving us. If it weren't for you, we would have gone to see the King of Hell!"

All of them were rough and crying with tears and snot, only Erhan walked towards Lin Zili foolishly, as if he was unaware of the pain in his body, and smiled at Lin Zili foolishly.

"Erhan knows that sister is coming, hehe."

Although Erhan is tall and strong, his mind is as clear and pure as that of a child.

Lin Zili smiled, softened her tone, and took out a bunch of golden wound medicine from the cloth bag.

"Erhan is such a good boy. Can you help your sister distribute these medicines? Your family members are all injured."

"Yes, Erhan is the smartest!"

Erhan was jumping around to distribute the medicine, and the ground suddenly shook. Everyone in the group did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Chief Li, why are you here in Duanwei Mountain?"

Li Liu glanced at the bandits nearby, paused, and then said, "I accidentally fell off the cliff and was rescued by them."

Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu looked at each other and knew that there must be a reason why Li Liu was injured. However, it was inconvenient to explain it in the crowd, so they changed the topic and continued, "What is on Duanwei Mountain?"

There must be something on this mountain that is worth the Li family planting poisonous trees and killing people to silence them.

"You will find out if you follow me."

The Taoist priest Xuebai, who was covered in wounds, was applying medicine. Upon hearing Lin Zili's words, he waved his hand to push his brothers away, then made a gesture of invitation and led the way.

The few of them walked around a row of thatched huts and through a small woods. After walking for nearly half an hour, they almost reached the south side from the north side of the mountain.

"This is it."

Unlike the north side, the south side of the mountain is extremely desolate. There is almost no grass growing on this large piece of land, and there are even several large holes on the ground not far away.

"Yun Zhiyu, do you smell it?"

"Well, there are mines on this hill."

The metallic smell in the air was so obvious that the two of them could smell it immediately.

It's iron ore.

There are iron mines in this mountain range.

"There's nothing on this mountain, and you can't even grow vegetables. We rarely come here. Before, a hunter strayed in here by mistake. Not long after, those people came. They first drove away the elderly, the weak, women and children at the foot of the mountain, then came up the mountain and surrounded us, insisting on telling us who we are. We are just ordinary people, and we really didn't know there was a mine here, but they didn't believe it and wanted to kill us."

"It's okay. The Li family doesn't have the time to take care of you now. If you are worried, just move to another place to settle down. You go and rest first, and we will go and take a look ourselves."

After all, Taoist Master Xuebai was injured and could hardly hold on. He was not worried about Lin Zili and his group, so he nodded and went back to rest after hearing this.

Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu walked towards the mine.

The hole had only been dug a few meters deep, and the two men were not professionals, so they could not be sure how big the mine was. However, based on the area of ​​the wasteland, it was probably not small.

Minerals are very important. Iron ore can be used to make weapons and is also related to people's livelihood. If the prince gets this iron mine, his private soldiers will have more powerful weapons.

"Chief Li, does this mine have an owner?"

"Strictly speaking, it should be owned by this group of bandits. When I was rescued by them, they seemed to have obtained some money from somewhere and bought this piece of land from the government."

This money probably came from Qi Zhaoqing. This group of people really wanted to live a good life, and they even paid money to buy the barren mountain. Even if they didn't buy it, those officials would not necessarily deal with them.

In the age of weapons, iron ore is a necessary resource. Although Yun Zhiyu does not plan to do anything, it would always be good if he could get his hands on the minerals.

Then we need to swallow up this mine.

"If you want the mines, just tell me. They are honest people, and they saved your life." Li Liu is the most capable subordinate of King Yan. He is very good at reading people's expressions and saw the two's intentions at once. "It's useless for them to come to the mines. If they don't have the ability, they will only bring disaster upon themselves. If they refuse to leave, you can take them in as subordinates and order them to guard the mines. As for whether they will have second thoughts, you can use your poison."

Lin Zili was extremely reluctant to use poison on an ordinary person. Even though their business involved fraud, they had learned their lesson and would not live in fear of poisoning for the rest of their lives.

Li Liu was just making a suggestion, he didn't care whether it was adopted or not, because he was the one who grew up with King Yan, and he also had a Gu in his body, so this was a very normal method.

"Let's make some arrangements first, just in case."

Seeing that the two men were setting up the mine to prevent anyone from approaching, Li Liu took the initiative to withdraw.

Seeing Li Liu walking away, Lin Zili took out some explosives, some pure white dresses, wood, some hair ropes and tools from the space.

The two of them first buried the entrance of the cave. Then, under Yun Zhiyu's shocked gaze, Lin Zili made a number of disheveled mannequins using wood and dresses.

In her early years, she had read some books on Qimen Bagua. She couldn't say she was proficient in them, but she was able to set up one or two bluffing formations. She also buried explosives and dummies at every step.

At this point, Yun Zhiyu seemed to understand Lin Zili's intentions.

If someone approached without knowing the danger, it would trigger the explosives underground. He had heard Lin Zili mention that this explosive was not very effective. Plus, the female ghost that came out with the explosives was scary enough.

After completing the arrangements, Lin Zili and Yun Zhiyu jumped out of the mine.

Li Liu looked up in confusion, not knowing what Lin Zili was up to.

"Madam, this..."

Li Liu originally thought that she would place poison near the mine, but now it seems that is not the case.

Lin Zili smiled and did not explain. Instead, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the nearest place.

The next moment, there was a bang, and along with the sound, a female ghost in a white dress with disheveled hair appeared.

No matter how much Li Liu didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he was still shocked by this scene.

"Chief Li, what's going on now?"

"Madam, this move..."

Li Liu slowly calmed his breath and shook his head helplessly.

He had heard about Miss Qi when the prince was drunk. Miss Qi was an extremely gentle woman when she was young, but he did not expect that her only daughter was so eccentric and her behavior was unpredictable.

"Mr. Yun, the person who hurt me this time is from Ruo Country. His body shape and even his Kung Fu are similar to yours. You need to make plans early."

When they heard Li Liu's words, their hearts tightened.
