The Qihu subordinates around him were all a bit strange.
Qi Hu laughed and went back to prepare.
Ye Qian and Yan Ge returned to Yan Mansion.
Having made so much money at once, Yan Ge was extremely excited. She said to Ye Qian: "Ye Qian, do you know, these things are enough for us to hire twenty guards. They are very superb guards. With them,
Those guards, even those half-demon ones, don’t dare to bully us.”
Ye Qian laughed, then he thought about it and said, "We still need to expand our influence some more."
However, Ye Qian thought too much, and the news here spread quite quickly.
The incident of the sun and moon lanterns shocked the entire valley in an instant. Ye Qian and Yan Ge were already riding carriages towards the Western Mountains. The number of sun and moon lanterns may not be many, but five is definitely not enough.
, so they still need to find more marbles as soon as possible, then bring them back and make them into sun and moon lamps.
The road to Xishan is difficult, but since there are only two people on the carriage, Ye Qian and Yan Ge, it is not difficult. This is an ore mining point, and all the vehicles passing by are filled with various stones. Those vehicles
The roads, which were not smooth to begin with, were all torn apart by the rolling.
Ye Qian and Yan Ge simply held hands, jumped out of the carriage, and headed towards the white jade mine in Xishan.
When we arrived at the white jade mine, the owner of the mine was not here, and the entire mine became a bit shabby.
Seeing this situation, Ye Qian frowned and felt something was wrong. He walked towards Yan Ge and said: "Miss, something is wrong. We have to move faster. If someone destroys all the white jade marbles first,
If this happens, our business will be out of business, at least for the time being, there will be no goods to sell."
Yan Ge didn't think anything of it at first. After being reminded by Ye Qian, she understood instantly. She nodded towards Ye Qian and said: "So that's it. These guys are so bad. Let's go find this mine quickly."
Owner."
"good."
Ye Qian and Yan Ge walked towards a nearby worker.
The worker was carving a huge stone on the ground.
"Hey, brother, I want to ask you something." Yan Ge walked over.
When the worker looked up, he was shocked to see how beautiful Yan Ge was. He quickly stepped back and said with a bit of fear: "Hello, hello, just ask me what you want. I'm just a servant. No.
It’s worthy of being so polite, Miss.”
Yan Ge laughed and said, "We want to buy this ore, but we don't know where the owner of the mine has gone."
"Oh, he was called home. It seems to be his wife's fault. I can't tell. However, not long ago, as for the ore stones, they were all moved away by a group of monsters." The worker said with a grin.
.
"Called away by a half-demon?" When Ye Qian heard this, he immediately realized something was wrong. He immediately turned to the man and asked where the owner of the mine lived.
When the mason heard Ye Qian's question, he quickly said, "The owner of the mine, his name is Xu Zhi, lives at the foot of the mountain. Look, the most beautiful house, made of white marble, belongs to him."
"good."
Ye Qian and Yan Ge immediately went down the mountain and walked towards the most beautiful house.
There is a vegetable field around the house. After entering, there are many small animals inside. It can be seen that this Xu Zhi is indeed a person who lives a prosperous life and knows how to live well.
At this moment, the door of Xu Zhi's house was open, and there was no one inside.
Ye Qian and Yan Ge walked in, and Yan Ge said, "Is there anyone there? Mr. Xu, are you at home?"
And no one answered.
Yan Ge turned around and looked at Ye Qian, "It's really strange, why is there no one there?"
Ye Qian shook his head. He heard a child crying. He waved his hands towards Yan Ge, then clasped his hands and feet and walked towards the back. The crying sound was very suppressed and came from underground.
Ye Qian looked around and discovered that there was a basement here, but the entrance to the basement was not in this place, but in the house.
Ye Qian quickly checked, then tapped twice on the wall, and found the entrance to a secret passage.
After a quick press and a sneer, a small hole suddenly appeared on the originally flat ground.
Yan Ge looked at Ye Qian in surprise, with admiration, "Wow, how did you find out."
"Uh..." Ye Qian couldn't explain the reason, because this mechanism was too simple. It was simpler than the ones in the movies, let alone compared with all the incredible mechanisms in later generations.
Ye Qian was afraid that there was danger below, so he said he would walk in front and go down below.
It was dark below, so Ye Qian took out a light source and illuminated it.
In the basement's mouth, a child was covering his mouth with his hands, fearing that he would scream. He was very frightened, but still pursed his lips tightly.
Seeing the child's frightened look, Ye Qian sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm a good person, come out."
The child suddenly burst into tears and cried very sadly.
Ye Qian took the child out of the basement.
Yan Ge looked at the child, who was only five or six years old. She felt a little distressed and asked: "This Xu Zhi is such a bastard. He actually put such a young child in the basement. What does he want to do? Torture the child."
?”
Ye Qian shook his head, "It may not be Xu Zhi who did it. The child is too frightened now. I'll stop him from being frightened first and let him speak."
As he spoke, Ye Qian put his finger on the child's forehead.
A warm and calming force spread to the child's forehead.
The child gasped for air, then raised his head and looked at Ye Qian. He finally calmed down slowly.
"Uncle, don't kill me, I...I'm very good, I didn't see anything." The child sobbed and said.
Yan Ge touched the child's head, "What are you talking about? How could I kill you? By the way, Xu Zhi locked you up here. Where are the others?" Yan Ge asked.
The child was quite smart. He immediately said: "You are not...the bad uncles from before, aren't you? Xu Zhi is my father."
"Your father, why did he lock you down there?" Yan Ge asked strangely.
The child immediately said, "Someone took my dad away. My dad told me to hide underneath and not make a sound. I was scared, but I didn't dare to cry, so I hid underneath and covered my mouth and cried.
.”
Yan Ge frowned, "Who captured your father? Do you know where he went?"
The child shook his head and said, "I don't know, they seemed to mean rum, rum or something."
Yan Ge understood immediately. She stood up and said, "It's a nearby tavern called the Wooden House Tavern. The most famous thing in it is rum."
Ye Qianen paused and said, "Kid, you go in and hide first, we'll go find your parents and bring them back, you know."
"Thank you uncle, thank you sister."
"So good." Yan Ge said with a smile.
Ye Qian muttered speechlessly, "Be a good boy, can't he see that you and I are a couple?"
Yan Ge looked at Ye Qian strangely.
Ye Qian muttered: "Call me uncle, call you sister, it's clear that you don't give me face!"
When Yan Ge heard this, he chuckled.
Ye Qian pulled Yan Ge and walked forward, "Where is that tavern? Let's go and find it."
Yan Ge nodded, and she and Ye Qian walked towards the tavern.
The tavern is outside a forest and is indeed made of the best wood. In the entire tavern, there are both drinking areas for ordinary customers and a backyard for more expensive VIPs. As expected, the owner of this tavern is very smart.
When they arrived at the tavern, someone naturally came to greet Ye Qian and Yan Ge.
Ye Qian said to Yan Ge: "You are the eldest lady, you make the decision."
Yan Ge nodded, she was naturally no longer timid now, not only because she knew that Ye Qian was behind her, but more importantly, she understood that she was already a master, and here, her strength was indeed considered a master.
.
"Rum." Yan Ge said to the waiter with a bit of arrogance.
The servant of the tavern was stunned for a long time. He had never seen Yan Ge, but he felt that it was an honor for such a beautiful woman to come here, so she must be included in the VIP backyard.
The servant immediately smiled and took Yan Ge and Ye Qian to the backyard.
At the back, there was a small room with very luxurious decoration. There were not many people inside, but these people were obviously some powerful people, which were completely different from the miners working on the mountain in front.
The waiter in the tavern asked Yan Ge to sit down.
Ye Qian sat down naturally opposite him.
The waiter looked at Ye Qian and frowned for a while. What was going on with this servant? Why didn't he understand any of the rules? There was no place for him as a servant here.
However, seeing that Yan Ge didn't say anything, the waiter had no choice but to give up. He said to Yan Ge in a flattering manner: "You two, please wait a moment."
With that said, the waiter left.
Several strong men not far away were all laughing.
"Hey, that girl is really pretty. She's much better than the woman we captured."
"Stop talking nonsense, you can't afford to offend such a beautiful young lady."
"Hey, when I finish making this money, I will definitely find such a beautiful girl. Otherwise, I'm sorry for the hard work of this trip."
"Drink and drink. After everything is settled, we will go back to collect the reward."
"Okay."
As these people talked, they all stopped talking.
When Ye Qian heard this, he stood up and walked towards the table.
There were five people on the table, all low-level warriors, but looking at their looks, you could tell they were not good people. It was obvious that their hands were stained with an unknown amount of blood.
Ye Qian knew very well that these people wanted to interrogate them and ask them directly. This method would not work. They had to let them reveal their motives.
Thinking of this, Ye Qian walked over, and then slapped the leader on the face, "Did you just talk about our young lady? Damn it, a bunch of damn slaves, how dare you
Talking about our young lady is seeking death!" Ye Qian said, and slapped him again with his backhand, hitting the leader with a scarred face and falling directly to the ground.
