"Father, I am absolutely sure that I saw the Four Guards Ring on the hand of His Highness Prince Liang today with my own eyes!" Yang Jiu was not surprised by his father's agile skills, but took a breath and said again, "And

, Prince Liang went to Queen Xiao’s place today, and when he came back, he had an extra ring of four guards in his hand."

"Oh, in this case, our original guess was indeed correct. The Four Guards Ring is really at the Queen's place?" Mr. Yang excitedly turned around a few times and rubbed his hands together. He was not at all as steady as an old man should be.

.

"Yes, if we could have contacted the queen earlier, father, you wouldn't have had to wait so long!" Yang Jiu said sadly, looking at his father's gray hair.

"That is to say, when Queen Xiao was far away in the Turks, even if we were still strong, we were still beyond our reach. By the time Queen Xiao came back to Chang'an, our four guards had already dissipated due to internal strife. In addition, Xiao

People sent by Li Shimin have been secretly guarding the Queen's Mansion. With just a few of you, there is no way to sneak in." The old man calmed down after saying this, sighed, and added with some emotion, "If it were back then.

The God of Wealth is still there, and with the strength of the two guards in his hands, it is not a problem to sneak into Queen Xiao's house, but it's a pity..."

When he said the last sentence, Mr. Yang shook his head helplessly. How strong they were at the beginning. The four guards each performed their duties and with close cooperation, nothing in the world could stump them anymore. But now

The scenery was gone, and even he had fallen to this point. He could only use a few of his closest people to find out about the Four Guards Ring, but there was no clue at all.

"Father, speaking of the God of Wealth, I met a person today. He is probably the God of Wealth." Hearing his father mention the name God of Wealth again, he immediately thought of Wang Zihao. So he saw him and Wang Zihao at the same time.

After telling the story about Si Wei Jie, of course, he did not miss the question of testing Wang Zihao afterwards.

"Oh? He actually knows that I have joint swelling and pain?" Mr. Yang was also surprised. He frowned and thought hard for a while, then suddenly his face lit up and he said excitedly, "Xiao Jiu, this is not the God of Wealth at all.

Man, because he is the God of Wealth himself!"

"Father, how is this possible?" After hearing his father's words, Yang Jiu immediately retorted. "Didn't you say before that the God of Wealth is about the same age as you? But that Wang Zihao is only in his thirties, how can he be the God of Wealth?

"

"Of course this is possible, and there is only one explanation, that is, the old God of Wealth is dead. What you are seeing is a new generation of God of Wealth. It is even possible that Wang Zihao is the son of the old God of Wealth." Mr. Yang said with great certainty,

At the same time, he also felt a little sad. Although he had worked with the God of Wealth for many years, as a hidden organization, the identities of all members were kept secret. When they met, they only called each other by their code names, without knowing the true identity of the other party.

Name. The reason why he was so sure that Wang Zihao was the God of Wealth was because no one except the old God of Wealth knew that he suffered from joint swelling and pain. Wang Zihao probably also learned about it from the old God of Wealth.

Hearing his father's affirmative answer, Yang Jiu was stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Zihao had such a big background. His father often mentioned the name God of Wealth, but then he thought of something important. So he said: "Father,

Now the Four Guards Ring is in the hands of King Liang. King Liang is the son of the Ninth Princess and can be regarded as a descendant of Emperor Shizu. But don’t forget, he is still the son of His Majesty. If we rashly reveal our identity to him, I am afraid he will immediately let him go.

They captured us and handed us over to his father."

"Oh~, Xiaojiu, this horror is God's will!" Mr. Yang frowned and sighed, with a look of pain on his face and said, "The Great Sui Dynasty is over, there is no hope at all.

I had been looking for the Four Guards Ring before, but I still had a glimmer of extravagant hope for the restoration of my country. Now God’s will has allowed the Four Guards Ring to appear in the hands of Li Min, who has the blood of the royal family of two dynasties, and my extravagant hope has been shattered immediately.

Oh, isn’t this God’s will?”

Looking at his father's painful expression, Yang Jiu also felt a little uncomfortable. He served Emperor Shi Zuming for the first half of his life, and spent almost the rest of his life recovering the country. However, the cruel reality shattered the old man's last hope.

, my father, who was still full of energy just now, seemed to have aged much in the blink of an eye.

But after all, Mr. Yang is different from ordinary people. His extremely tenacious mind immediately allowed him to get rid of his negative emotions and calm down to consider the future plans of people like himself. He doesn't care about it when he is old, but there are still Yang Jiu and his gang.

It is impossible not to worry about the people who are always by your side.

"Xiao Jiu, please don't act rashly these days, especially to Prince Liang. You must not let any news leak out, and you must have more contact with the God of Wealth in private to see what his plans are. Although his father's status back then was

He is comparable to the God of Wealth, but because of his different positions, he is better at looking at the overall situation." Mr. Yang thought for a long time before speaking.

"Father, don't worry. My son understands that I am very familiar with that Wang Zihao. I know that this man is calm and calm. He is a rare talent. Even His Highness Prince Liang also thinks highly of him." Yang Jiu nodded.

Just when Wang Zihao and Yang Jiu were worried about the appearance of Si Wei Jie, Li Min, the person involved, did not notice it at all because he was entangled in another matter and could not get out now.

In the main hall of Prince Liang's Mansion, all members of the Carboniferous Industry Association were present.

"What? Some bastard dares to compete with me for territory?" Cheng Huailiang slammed the table, stood up angrily and cursed.

"Hey, brother Huailiang, we are doing business, not a gang fight, please don't be so rude, okay?" Li Min said helplessly. In fact, it was not to blame Cheng Huailiang for losing his temper. No one expected that everything went smoothly at the beginning.

The enclosure operation has unexpectedly happened.

Because of the coal mine matter, Li Min and the others sent people to look for minerals in the area designated by Li Min. It went very well at first, but after only ten days, someone came back to report that they had found several of the best open-air buildings.

After that, more and more prospecting teams came back to report the good news of the discovery of the coal mine.

When Cheng Huailiang and the others heard about it, they were all overjoyed and immediately sent people to buy the mine. At the same time, they also admired Li Min even more. However, just a few days after they were happy, the people from the prospecting team came back to report that this time

It was not good news, because the prospecting team discovered that there were competitors in the area marked out by Li Min, competing with them to find coal mines. There were even several times when both parties found coal mines at the same time.

But for some unknown reason, the local government was only willing to sell the land to the other party, even if Li Min and the others were willing to pay several times the price.

"Yan Bei, do you have any news over there? What is the background of the other party that he is going against us?" Qin Huaiyu was thoughtful and ignored Cheng Hualiang's shouting. Instead, he turned to Yan Bei and asked. Don't look at Yan Bei's background.

Gao, only Concubine Yan De was the only one who could save face in the family, but the Yan family's business was very large and the information was well-informed. Therefore, after discovering that someone was robbing the mines, the association entrusted Yan Bei to investigate the other party's information.

"Ahem~, everyone, we may be in trouble this time. The other party has quite a lot of background!" Yan Bei cleared his throat and said with a wry smile on his face. In his opinion, although all the families in the association are powerful,

, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, not to mention that the opponent is much stronger than the snake. No matter how strong the dragons are this time, they probably can't do anything when they encounter the opponent.

"Tch~, Yan Bei, I'm not talking about you. If there's any problem that we can't solve together, just tell us and let everyone see who is the daring guy?" Li Jingheng also shouted arrogantly.

Yan Bei gave a bitter smile and said, "Taiyuan Wang family!" (To be continued)
