The reborn prince is hard to raise

The scenery of the mountains and forests after the rain is very different from usual. The dead leaves and branches that have accumulated for several years are soaked, and sometimes there will be water dripping from the treetops, and it will be cool when it falls on the hair or neck.There are shallow traces of water flowing from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the rocks, and the forest is a little more humid and shady, as if all the dirt has been washed away by the thunderstorm, it is extremely clean.

The iron paws of the horse's feet were deeply imprinted on the wet soil, and the dead leaves rustled.A group of people walked towards the depths of the mountain forest, walking slowly, adding a bit of elegance to the scenery.

"Woo--" Mu Hanjiang, who was at the forefront of the team, pulled the reins, looked at the soldiers galloping from the forest and asked, "How is the situation?" Immediately, there was a little more calm and prestige.

"It is indeed as the ninth son said, there is a cave about eight miles ahead, and its appearance is mostly similar to what the ninth son said." The soldiers dressed in the foreign uniforms led by the siyu dismounted and reported. They unanimously called Lu Chengning "Young Master" and Gu Mingheng "Ninth Young Master", so it was easy to distinguish them.

"Well, let's lead the way." Mu Hanjiang nodded and ordered. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that He Weng, who was riding alone on the horse, was in good spirits, and he was not tired. It looks happy.

Seeing the movement of He Weng twisting his beard, Mu Hanjiang suddenly thought of Mr. Zheng in Donggong Chongwen Hall. At that time, the lectures on policy theory every three days were a nightmare in his heart.

Thinking of the days in the East Palace, I suddenly realized that I was thousands of miles away from the capital in Huizhou.But I think I will return to Beijing in half a month, right?Mu Hanjiang subconsciously looked towards Lu Chengning and Gu Mingheng, who were riding together behind him, and saw that the two were whispering something in a low voice, with a relaxed look on their faces.

This place is Yingwei Mountain, which is named after the shape of the mountain is like the tail feather of an eagle.The mountains are steep, the dense forests are deep, and there have been terrifying rumors in the mountains since more than ten years ago. Therefore, few people go to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt, which can be called inaccessible.If Gu Mingheng hadn't insisted that Tang Xianlong's hidden iron ore was in this mountain, no one would have thought that there would be extremely rare iron ore in such a poor place.

"Is Ah Ning okay?" Gu Mingheng looked at the road ahead and asked Lu Chengning with his back to Lu Chengning.The mountain road is rugged, even if it is a good horse, it is very bumpy, but fortunately, it is not too far from the destination.

"Well, it's nothing." Lu Chengning wrapped his arms loosely around his waist, sniffing the fragrance of his hair, feeling at ease for a moment - he always has the power to calm his mind.Hearing his question, Lu Chengning answered in a low voice.

Gu Mingheng heard his quiet voice ringing in his ears, it seemed that there was still hot breath in his hair, his hand holding on to the rein froze, he felt that his feelings when getting along with Lu Chengning had changed a little these days, but he didn't know the truth Where did it change.

"Ah Heng, can you hear the sound of the waterfall hitting the rock?" Lu Chengning leaned his chin on his shoulder and rubbed it lightly, and sure enough, he found that Gu Mingheng moved his shoulder uncomfortably.A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the blurred light in front of him, and suddenly he was in a good mood.

"Waterfall?" Gu Mingheng was disturbed by him, so he no longer entangled in doubts, and turned to listen to it, but there was nothing other than the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

Shaking his head, "A-Ning's hearing is more sensitive than mine, maybe it's a little far away, and I don't know where there is a waterfall, but if I get closer, I should be able to hear it."

Lu Chengning just nodded and didn't speak. He straightened up and looked at Gu Mingheng's blurred figure in front of him, with a pensive look on his brows—A-Heng was not familiar with this Yingwei Mountain, so he couldn't be sure where there was a waterfall, but he was very sure that there was a waterfall here. The iron ore can even describe the approximate location of the entrance to the iron ore.

These are very unusual.

He doesn't know much about water conservancy, but he can draw design drawings of water conservancy projects that amaze Leng Zeyan; he has never been to Yingwei Mountain, and it is not listed in books, but he knows where the iron mine is; he has never been Yanyun Liuzhou has been looking for that stranger named Ning Wuyi, and firmly believes that he can help him.

It's like he was able to find a hermit like He Weng to heal his eyes - these are the doubts that Lu Chengning has always buried in his heart, and they are only increasing until now, but there is no clue.

Lu Chengning put his chin lightly on Gu Mingheng's shoulder again, with attachment in his eyes.He slowly closed his eyes, and occasionally the sunlight between the trees fell on his face like a crown jade, and the long and thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the face, like light ink smearing.

Ah Heng, if you don't tell me, I won't ask.I believe that even if the whole world betrays me and I raise the butcher's knife, you will still stand by my side, clinging to my hand and not letting go.

There are beams of sunlight pouring down from the clouds and falling in the forest, just like the blossoming flowers blooming behind them, flashing light and shadow for a moment.

After dismounting from the horse at the entrance of the cave, Mu Hanjiang stood at the entrance of the cave with a spear in his hand, and said to Lu Chengning who was in the center of the crowd, "Your Highness, I will lead people in first, and will send people to report whether there is any change." After finishing speaking, Zhao Xian stayed behind. Together with 80 soldiers to protect Lu Chengning and He Weng, he led the other [-] people into the cave and disappeared after a while.

Although Tang Xianlong's confidants confessed that most of the people in the mine were death row prisoners, nearby villagers, and several teams of soldiers who had been stationed for a long time, but no matter what, he couldn't take it lightly—he would never make the same mistake again.Regret, once in a lifetime is the limit.

When the sun in midsummer gradually dimmed, a faint mist floated in the forest.Eighty soldiers, one team of ten, guarded quietly by the side without making a sound.Occasionally, birds fly by, and they avoid them as if they were frightened by the bloody smell.

Crane Weng led two soldiers through the nearby woods, sometimes squatting down to identify the medicinal herbs on the ground, if he found useful or even rare medicinal herbs, he would very carefully move the whole plant into the bamboo basket with a small shovel, his expression focus.

Zhao Xian stood by Lu Chengning's side, looked at the sky, with a worried expression on his face, "It's been so long, I don't know if Hanjiang and the others will have any results." Several hours have passed, but there is still no news.If he hadn't needed to stay where he was to protect the prince and princess, he would have gone straight to find them with his weapon in hand.Such a situation of no news is really worrying.

Gu Mingheng said with a slight smile, "It must be all right. If the situation changes, Amu's vigilance will definitely be able to avoid it." His face was calm, and he was indeed not worried about Mu Hanjiang's situation in his heart.

Many things in this life are not far from the previous life, and many details have not changed much.He still remembered that in the previous life, the iron mine hidden here was an important piece of King An's memorial to impeach San Gong.

The laws of Dayong were strict, including the stipulation that "all minerals belong to the imperial court, and the people are not allowed to mine privately".This means that all the discovered minerals have been recorded by the government, and the mining industry in the past dynasties has been firmly controlled by the royal family Lu, and the iron ore is strictly prohibited by the court because it can be used to forge weapons.

Tang Xianlong's move is a big taboo. Although it is hidden from Ning Guogong, it is very easy to stir up a pool of muddy water and pull Sangong off the horse. Has the idea of ​​seeking power and usurping the throne.

But this time, Gu Mingheng didn't think about using this to pull Sangong off the horse.You must know what iron ore means to a prince and an army.Sangong has lost the dominance of Jiangnan, and it is like a golden shell that can be easily broken.

Therefore, Gu Mingheng only brought his confidants with him on this trip, and it is strictly forbidden to leak it out at this time.

A well-equipped, brave and loyal army and the military power in their hands are their greatest reliance in the process of seizing the throne.

There were footsteps coming from far and near, and looking in the direction of the sound, Mu Hanjiang was at the front, followed by only a few guards.His face was extremely calm, showing no emotion at all.

"Take it." Mu Hanjiang didn't speak until he got close to the two of them, with a smile in his eyes.The iron ore is better than expected, and the ore quality is excellent, but the amount of the ore is still uncertain, but according to the recent exploration results, it must be a large ore vein.

Presumably, Tang Xianlong has been operating here for several years, and the mining area has built vertical shafts, inclined shafts, level roads, and gas wells and gas roads that are conducive to underground mining.Mu Hanjiang ordered people to go down to the mine to check, and learned that the support in the shaft is also very complete.

Most of the miners were death row prisoners and deserters, as well as criminals who should be exiled to the extreme north, and they were all sent here by Tang Xianlong's power.Although there were two teams of soldiers alternately supervising, there was no obstacle at all to the left and right commanders led by Mu Hanjiang. Mu Hanjiang took over the mine very easily.

Leading the crowd along the entrance of the cave, after a few hundred steps, the eyes suddenly opened up.There are mountains on all sides here, surrounded by layered mountains and rocks, forming a place of its own.There are simple huts built along the western foot of the mountain, and the ground is full of mining tools and piles of ore.There are crude carts full of ore, parked on the rough gravel road, and I don't know where they are going.

All the miners in the field and the two teams of supervising soldiers gathered in a wide area and knelt on the ground one after another.

Crane Weng saw this situation as soon as he came out of the cave, his eyes lit up immediately, he handed the small shovel to the soldier holding the bamboo basket behind him, walked a few steps towards the mine shaft and then turned back, very excitedly Looking at Gu Mingheng, he said, "Gu Jiu, I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect you to find it!" He said with a smile on his face, his long eyebrows and beard trembling with his movements.

"Sir, did you do some research?" Seeing He Weng's expression, Gu Mingheng knew that he had guessed correctly.That day in the thatched hut on Zhulu Mountain, Gu Mingheng saw "Tiangong Gewu·Mine Book" on the table, the paper was a little fuzzy, presumably it was the reason why he often read it.Therefore, before leaving this time, Gu Mingheng asked He Weng if he wanted to go together.

"You have good eyesight!" He Weng smiled joyfully, how could he not understand Gu Mingheng's thoughts?So he replied very proudly, "Although I am not a professional, I have studied it for several years, but I have never operated it in the field. Now, Gu Jiu, you have provided such a place for me, it really suits me!"

After speaking, he walked towards the direction of the mine, his footsteps were steady, and he didn't look old at all.
