There is Room For the Poor Daughter

The day after Daohua arrived at Taohua Nunnery, Xiao Yeyang came.

"Are you OK?"

Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua in front of him, looked down, and made sure she was not injured, so he felt relieved, and then he couldn't help but scolded: "You said that when you encounter such a thing as an assassination, you don't want to run away. Instead, he rushed up, what if something happened to this?"

Daohua has two dark circles under her eyes, and her expression is a little sullen: "You think I think, who made me so unlucky, and don't help to solve those black-clothed people, what if they kill people after the incident? "

Seeing that Daohua was not in a good mood, Xiao Yeyang knew that yesterday's incident would definitely scare her, so he took her hand and comforted: "Okay, it's alright, I'll send someone to the place where the incident happened, and promise not to let anyone who comes later. Find any clues."

Daohua hurriedly said: "Are you sure you won't let the people behind the men in black come to Peach Blossom Village? Wouldn't you let them find out that I was involved? In the book, killers like the men in black, but omnipotent."

When she went to bed last night, either the picture of people in black chasing them to Peach Blossom Village and destroying the village, or the picture of people in black finding the Yan family and destroying the family, was frightening. She didn't dare to sleep all night.

Xiao Yeyang laughed a little: "You already said that it's a storybook. If the killer is really omnipotent, then the world will not be in chaos. Okay, it's over, don't think about it."

After speaking, he paused, and looked at Daohua helplessly.

"Yesterday's incident reminded me, I don't know whether you should say good or bad about your luck, the last time I tied up the emperor and five masters, and this time I encountered the assassination of the dead man. This incident happened. The frequency is too high, so let me put someone by your side."

Daohua wasn't very focused, didn't hear Xiao Yeyang's words clearly, nodded randomly, and after nodding her head, she asked: "Who do you want to put beside me?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Of course it's someone who can protect you."

Daohua's eyes lit up and she nodded again and again. If it was before, she would definitely not want it, but after what happened yesterday, she realized that she didn't even have anyone in her hands when something happened.

Qin Xiaoliu and Wang Man'er can also handle ordinary affairs, like yesterday's emergencies, they have helped her a lot by staying out of the way.

Not long after, the dark guard sent by Xiao Yeyang to erase the traces returned.

In order to reassure Daohua completely, Xiao Yeyang brought Daohua to meet the dark guard.

The dark guard repeatedly assured that all traces of yesterday's fight had been erased and that no one would find him, so Daohua's tense mood relaxed.

Although Master went to clean it up yesterday, but he is not a professional after all, she still has some hidden worries in her heart.

"What do you think of the dark guard just now?" After the dark guard went down, Xiao Yeyang asked Daohua.

Daohua hesitated for a moment: "It's good, but that's what you're used to. If you gave it to me, will no one use it?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled lightly: "As long as you think it's good, I have more than one secret guard."

Daohua didn't push back, thought for a while and said, "When I was fine a few days ago, I made some more pills, let me get you some."

Xiao Yeyang was used to Daohua's practice of returning something every time he received something, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that I can use it a lot recently."

Daohua went back to the house and took out several bottles and jars, put them in a cloth bag, and handed them directly to Xiao Yeyang: "The usage and efficacy are written on the bottle."

Xiao Yeyang took the cloth bag, glanced at it, and handed it to Defu behind him.

Daohua sat down again and asked, "How did you find the gold mine?"

Speaking of the gold mine, the smile on Xiao Yeyang's face gradually faded: "We have searched almost all the eighteen counties in the three states under the Ningmen House, but we still have no news."

Daohua said again: "A few days ago, my father asked me if you and my third and fourth brothers were looking for something, and I told him about the gold mine."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang didn't have much reaction: "Uncle Yan is the prefect of Ningmen House, he knows it's a matter of time."

Daohua: "My father said that the Jiang family also found something, and Duan Wang's people also appeared in the Ningmen mansion."

Xiao Yeyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Uncle Yan's news is well-informed. Uncle Duan's people came to Ningmen Mansion, and I also found out two days ago."

Daohua tentatively said: "They are all looking for gold mines, right?"

Xiao Yeyang didn't hide it and nodded.

Daohua's face changed, and she asked again, "Are they looking for themselves, or are they looking for the emperor?"

Xiao Yeyang's eyes flashed: "This, only they know."

Hearing this answer, Daohua's heart jumped involuntarily, she was silent for a while, and looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Since the Jiang family and Duan Wang are both looking for gold mines, then don't look for them."

"no!"

As soon as Daohua finished speaking, a slightly weak voice came from outside the door.

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang turned their heads and saw Wu Jingyi walked in with the help of a subordinate, and before they sat down, they heard him say: "We not only have to look for them, but also have to be faster than them, especially to catch up with them. Before Duan Wang."

After Wu Jingyi sat down in the main room, Gu Jian came over not long after.

Looking at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, Gu Jian turned his attention to Wu Jingyi: "What did you mean by that?"

Wu Jingyi glanced at Daohua, and seeing that neither Gu Jian nor Xiao Yeyang wanted to let her go, he said, "Duanwang discovered this gold mine in Ningmen Mansion long ago, and he originally wanted to occupy it. It was mined privately because it was already there, but unfortunately, the people under the sect leaked the news."

"Now that both the emperor and the Jiang family know about this, Duan Wang knew that it was impossible to own the gold mine anymore, so he thought of dedicating the gold mine to the emperor, taking credit and returning to the court."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang and Gu Jian's expressions changed. Daohua didn't know anything about the court, so she sat on the side very sensible and didn't speak.

Wu Jingyi continued: "Now the situation in the north is unstable and wars are frequent, but the national treasury can't provide food and wages. If King Duan really wants to openly donate the gold mine, it will solve the urgent need of the court."

"At this time, if Duan Wang's henchmen propose to let Duan Wang return to the court, the emperor will not refuse it."

"Duanwang Langzi's ambition has been peeping at the throne. Even if he is guarding the emperor's mausoleum these years, he has not stumped the emperor. If he really wants to return him to the court, it will be a disaster in the summer."

Xiao Yeyang was puzzled: "Since Uncle Duan knew about the gold mine early on, how can we stop it?"

The corner of Wu Jingyi's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of ridicule: "Although Duan Wang has been winning people's hearts over the years, the emperor is a wise ruler of the world, and many of those who follow him are swaying from side to side."

"The person who discovered the gold mine did not directly tell Duan Wang the news of the gold mine, but wanted to report it to the emperor, and took the opportunity to seek refuge. Unfortunately, something happened in the middle and was arrested by the Jiang family."

Gu Jian's eyes narrowed: "In other words, there are three parties looking for gold mines, the Jiang family, Duan Wang, and the emperor's side."

Wu Jingyi nodded: "The ancients are right, but if the gold mine is found by the Jiang family, the Empress Tai's shrewdness, the Jiang family should not dare to rebel, they will choose to turn over the gold mine like Duan Wang. , As a result, the Jiang family's prestige in the imperial court is bound to rise to a higher level."

"If it is found by King Duan, it will be even more inconsistent with the emperor's wishes. That's why I said that we have to find gold mines before them."

"Now Duanwang's people have arrived at Ningmen Mansion. In order to prevent them from looking for gold mines, I have had several confrontations with them."

Having said that, Wu Jingyi looked at Daohua with a smile: "I haven't had time to say thank you to the girl. If it wasn't for you yesterday, I'm afraid I'd have to explain it here."

With that said, he took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it over.

"If the girl encounters any difficulties in the future, even if she opens her mouth, Wu can do it, and she will definitely help to do it."

Daohua looked at Gu Jian, and then at Xiao Yeyang, but did not pick up the jade pendant.

Gu Jian: "What can she do for a little girl." After saying that, he glanced at Daohua and motioned her to pick up the jade pendant.

A promise made by the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army still carries a lot of weight. No matter whether it is useful or not, let’s talk about it first.

Daohua got up to pick up the jade pendant after receiving the master's signal.

Afterwards, Wu Jingyi and Xiao Yeyang talked about the search for gold mines. Daohua didn't continue to listen and left the room. As soon as she came out, she saw the dark guard standing in the yard.

"My subordinate An Qi has seen the master." After speaking, he knelt down on one knee in front of Dao Hua.

Daohua was startled: ". Do you know that you will follow me in the future?"

The dark guard nodded: "Eunuch Fu has already informed his subordinates."

Daohua was silent for a while, then thought about it and said, "Following me may not have a future with Xiao Yeyang, but don't worry, I will compensate you with money."

Um?

The dark guard was stunned for a while, looked up at the new master, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first time he lectured, the new master said this.

Being assigned, he didn't have any reluctance in his heart.

As an undercover guard, they put their head on the belt of their trousers every day, so there is no future at all. Following a master who doesn't have much to do, to be honest, it is their blessing to be an undercover guard.

If other secret guards knew about him, how many people would envy him.

Daohua saw the dark guard kneeling: "Get up and talk."

The dark guard quickly glanced at Daohua and stood up.

Daohua: "Your name is An Qi?"

The dark guard nodded: "This is the code name of the subordinate."

Daohua: "Then what's your name?"

The dark guard shook his head: "This subordinate only has a code name, not a name." His tone was calm, as if he had already accepted his fate.

They have been intensively trained since childhood, and their parents and relatives do not remember any names.

Daohua was silent for a while: "You will be called Yan Ying in the future."

The dark guard glanced at Daohua again, then bent over and said, "Thank you, Master, for your name."

Hearing the movement from behind, Daohua said, "Go back."

The dark guard nodded and disappeared into the yard with a 'whoosh'.
