After experiencing the snake stepping incident, Daohua walked more and more carefully. Before, she would walk in front of Xiao Yeyang, but now she follows behind obediently.

Xiao Yeyang saw that she had become more well-behaved, he smiled silently, held her hand tightly, and looked around carefully to avoid similar accidents.

The cave was winding straight down, deep and dark. As it went deeper, the golden light that everyone saw became more and more dense. By the time they met Sun Changze and others, they could already see gold ore with good gold content.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang, the guard captain stepped forward with some excitement: "Master, because there are too many holes in front of me, I was worried that the exploration would take too long, so I stopped here. I just made a rough exploration, these

The chadongs are all natural gold mines, and the gold ore inside them has a particularly high gold content."

Xiao Yeyang nodded. Everything he saw was gold ore, and his eyes were astonishingly bright. The gold mine in this place was of much higher grade than the one in the river valley, and it was also easier to mine.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yeyang said: "You divide into several teams. One team will explore a cave entrance and come back within half an hour. I want to know how deep these gold mines are."

The captain of the guard nodded, and immediately summoned his men and assigned teams. The four of them, Sun Changze, automatically formed a team, and they chose a cave entrance at random and walked in.

After the others left, Xiao Yeyang and the three brothers and sisters of the Yan family were waiting at the fork.

After a while, Daohua felt that it was a waste of time to wait like this. After thinking about it, she pointed to several other mines that no one had explored and said, "How about we also choose one to go in and have a look?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at her with a smile: "Okay, you can choose a mine."

Yan Wenkai also smiled and said: "Yes, sister, you are the luckiest among us. Look, as soon as you came, we found two gold mines."

Daohua was speechless: "How do I know how to choose?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "Just choose one."

When Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers looking at her, she thought for a moment, knelt down and picked up a stone, turned her back, and threw it back.

Seeing her choosing in this way, Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wenkai, and Yan Wentao were all a little amused.

Daohua turned around: "Which one did you hit?"

Xiao Yeyang pointed to the one on the far side: "Let's go, let's go into this mine and have a look." After saying that, he left a secret guard waiting here, and then took Daohua again, waiting for the guard and Yan Wenkai

, Yan Wentao entered the cave first, and then followed with Daohua.

"This mine is quite big, and it will be easy to mine in the future."

A few people walked for a while and found that there were even forks in the mine.

Daohua saw that the main cave was unfathomably deep and could not reach the bottom for a while, so she pulled Xiao Yeyang: "How about we explore the side caves?"

Yan Wenkai shook his head and said: "The branch cave is a little smaller, and you have to bend down when walking in it. Let's explore the main cave."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at him: "What are you and your sister arguing about? Someone is going to explore the main cave, let's explore the branch cave." After saying that, he motioned to the guards to go ahead with torches, and then pulled Daohua into the branch cave.

Seeing the two people entering, Yan Wenkai was a little reluctant and looked at Yan Wentao: "Third brother, how about we continue exploring the main cave?"

Yan Wentao glanced at Yan Wenkai angrily: "You just ignore Daohua and let her follow the young prince alone?"

Yan Wenkai said with a smile: "Third brother, you are worrying so much now. My eldest sister will be fine as long as the young prince is protecting her."

Yan Wentao was frustrated: "We are Daohua's brothers, and we always let the young prince protect Daohua. Isn't this bad?"

Yan Wenkai stared: "What's wrong with this? The young prince and the eldest sister are so close, why should we protect them? It would be inhumane if he doesn't protect them."

Yan Wentao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and quickly chased Daohua and Xiao Yeyang.

Seeing his third brother looking at him with a look of hatred, Yan Wenkai scratched his head and said, "What? Every time I meet Sister Jingwan, doesn't my third brother always help Brother Zhou take care of her?"<

/p>

Even he, seeing how fragile the Su family's sister is, wouldn't he protect her more?

They, Brother Zhou, Brother Dong, and Su Hongxin are brothers and friends. Isn’t it natural for them to take care of their brothers’ sisters?

The young prince has a distinguished status. Although he cannot be called a brother or brother, he is still a close friend. What's wrong with helping to protect his sister?

"Inexplicable!"

Yan Wenkai raised his eyes and looked at the fork in the hole that he had to bend slightly to pass through, and followed it resignedly.

The branch cave is not as good as the main cave. The road becomes narrower and narrower as you go, and the roof of the cave becomes lower and lower.

When there was almost only room for two people to walk side by side, the guard walking in front suddenly called out.

Daohua was startled and quickly tightened Xiao Yeyang's arm: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yeyang put his arm around Daohua's shoulders and comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm here." After saying that, he asked with dissatisfaction, "What are you calling?"

The guard said excitedly: "Master, there are a lot of gold nuggets ahead."

Defu hurriedly stepped forward and illuminated it with a torch, and a golden light suddenly came into view.

"What gold nugget? Let me take a look!"

Yan Wenkai walked forward quickly. When he passed Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, his strong body squeezed Daohua into Xiao Yeyang's arms.

Xiao Yeyang quickly reached out and pushed Yan Wenkai away, dissatisfied and said: "Why are you squeezing? You bumped into your sister."

Yan Wenkai smiled coquettishly: "It's because the hole is too small." After saying that, he quickly walked towards Defu.

Daohua looked at her fourth brother with a depressed look, struggled a few times, and when Xiao Yeyang's arm around her shoulders loosened, she quickly withdrew from his arms and leaned back to the side with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.

.

Just when Xiao Yeyang was about to say something, Yan Wentao came over and luckily stood between Daohua and Xiao Yeyang. He let Xiao Yeyang's sharp gaze linger on him and did not move.
p>

Compared with Xiao Yeyang's unhappiness, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the scene where she stepped on a snake and jumped on Xiao Yeyang, and just lying in Xiao Yeyang's arms, she felt a little awkward and embarrassed.

Now that the gold mine has been found, it's time for her to go back.

During her stay at Ningmenguan, she was touched by Xiao Yeyang's meticulous care for her, but faced with his increasingly intimate behavior, she felt a little at a loss and confused.

Respond?

Whenever she thinks about Xiao Yeyang's identity and the complex relationships behind it, she feels disturbed and her scalp tightens. The family she longs for is relaxed, comfortable, simple, pure, hierarchical, complicated in etiquette, and complex in relationships.

The royal family is not suitable for her.

Not responding?

I also feel that I am quite a scumbag. I enjoy other people’s tenderness but have no emotional response, no initiative, no responsibility, and no rejection. I am simply a scumbag.

At this moment, Yan Wenkai's excitement sounded.

"Eldest sister, young prince, and third brother, come quickly. There are really a lot of gold nuggets here. I feel like I don't even need to refine them when I take them out."

When Daohua heard this, she quickly walked over and looked at the pieces of gold nuggets. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and the annoyance in her heart was instantly forgotten.

"We can take all of these away!"

Xiao Yeyang glared at Yan Wentao fiercely. When he turned around to face Daohua, a smile appeared on his face again. He glanced at the gold nuggets in the cave and made a visual inspection. He estimated that he could extract ten thousand taels of gold.

look like.

Thinking of these days, the Yan family brothers and sisters followed him all over the mountains. Although there will be rewards from Uncle Huang after the gold mine is reported, it is still appropriate to give him some reward first.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "I will have these gold nuggets picked up later. When they are made into gold bars, I will send them directly to you."

Daohua immediately said: "Then how do we divide it?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and asked: "How about I give it all to you?"

Daohua refused righteously: "Money is something external to the body, and everyone who sees it should have a share."

Xiao Yeyang laughed and said: "You are just trying to divide the spoils and silence others."

Daohua's face froze. Don't tell me, she really thought this. After taking out the gold nuggets in the cave and refining them, she could get at least ten thousand taels of gold, which is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver. She was a little uncomfortable with so much silver.

Dare to take it.

Xiao Yeyang won't say it, but the people under him may not.
