Chapter 948: The real purpose of coming to Taishan
Lintai Mountain, Tianjiacun, Jiangji Inn.
After seeing off Zhang Youde last night, Chai Yan had a fist-fighting and drinking competition with Hang Baiqiu. Both sides were evenly matched. After drinking too much, they slept until the afternoon of the next day.
Chai Yan stretched out of the room and yawned as he came to the front hall and looked outside. The sun was shining brightly at this time, which made people feel a little hot.
When Boss Jiang of Jiangji Inn saw Chai Yan coming out, he immediately went up to greet him and asked: "Master Chai, are you awake..."
Chai Yan stretched again, nodded and asked, "Where are they?"
Boss Jiang pointed to the outside of the store and said carefully: "Sir, two people went outside after lunch, but they didn't say where they went, and the younger one didn't dare to ask, so I don't know where they went."
"Where's Chief Hang? Have you gone out too?" Chai Yan asked.
Boss Jiang immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, Chief Hang hasn't come out since she returned to her room last night. Looking at her, she should still be asleep at the moment..."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them heard someone stretching and yawning from behind: "Ha...uh uh..."
Looking back, it was Hang Baiqiu who had just gotten up.
Chai Yan then asked: "Sir Hang, are you awake too?"
Hang Baiqiu was stretching with his hands raised. When he saw Chai Yan, his laziness stopped. After a brief moment of woodenness, Hang Baiqiu became a little embarrassed.
Just when he was thinking about what to do if his ugly side was exposed in front of Chai Yan, Chai Yan spoke again...
"Sir Hang, what would you like to have for lunch?" Chai Yan asked.
Seeing that Chai Yan didn't mean to laugh at him, Hang Baiqiu felt relieved and calm, and then replied: "Scrambled eggs..."
"What else?" Chai Yan asked again.
Hang Baiqiu held his chin and thought for a while, then replied: "The rest is casual, anyway, what I want to eat most right now is scrambled eggs!"
Chai Yan turned to Boss Jiang and said, "Boss Jiang, scramble a few more eggs and make two more dishes for rice. Thanks!"
Boss Jiang was a little frightened and immediately said: "Master Chai is serious!"
After saying that, Boss Jiang quickly went to the kitchen and asked his son to cook the food.
"Come and sit, Sir Hang." Chai Yan invited.
Hang Baiqiu thought for a while, walked slowly to Chai Yan and said, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Chai Yan said in a low voice and seriously: "Sir Hang, I just thought about it. I think it's time to tell Cheng Jiu and the others about our purpose of coming to Taishan!"
Hang Baiqiu sat down and took a sip of water, then said nonchalantly: "Okay, you can make up your mind."
Chai Yan was a little surprised at Hang Baiqiu's attitude, so he changed his mind and asked: "Sir Hang, in fact, there is no gold vein in Lintai Mountain at all. His Highness deliberately lied to me about all that information, right?"
Hang Baiqiu took another sip of water and said, "I don't know."
"Ah?" Chai Yan was stunned for a moment.
Hang Baiqiu drank enough water, put down the water bowl and said: "Anyway, His Highness said that there may be gold veins in Lintai Mountain, so be sure to let me come over to investigate. As for the real situation, I'm not sure...
..Uh, that’s what it means…”
After hearing this, Chai Yan was stunned again, then nodded dully and said: "Okay, I understand..."
"What do you understand?" Hang Baiqiu said sternly: "His Highness won't let you return to the capital so soon. That's because the situation in the capital is very chaotic. He is afraid that you will be implicated, and then there will be no more chaos!"
Chai Yan also picked up the water bowl and poured water, took a sip and replied: "Sir Hang, you have said this before, and I understand it very well. I just want to know, should we continue to look for gold veins?"
"Look for it! Why don't you look for it? We've already come here, how can we not do some exploration?" Hang Baiqiu said immediately.
Chai Yan then asked: "According to your opinion, we have to go into the mountain immediately and deal with Lu Dan's group of bandits while exploring?"
Hang Baiqiu nodded happily and said, "With you here, what is there to worry about?"
Chai Yan was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, Hang Baiqiu, you are too casual. My God of War beans were not blown by strong winds. You still have to pay attention to using them properly!
Just when it was quiet, Boss Jiang appeared. He brought a bowl of rice and several dishes, all specialties of Tianjiacun.
Hang Baiqiu served Chai Yan a bowl of rice and said, "If you really don't want to go into the mountain to investigate, then don't go..."
Chai Yan was surprised: "Really or not?"
"I'll just go alone!" Hang Baiqiu's next words almost made Chai Yan fall off his stool.
Chai Yan sat down again and said: "Looking at what you said, do you think we will let you go into the mountain alone?"
"That's alright, let's go together!" Hang Baiqiu smiled happily and placed a full bowl of rice in front of Chai Yan.
Chai Yan looked at the firm and compact rice in front of him, turned around and said, "What are you doing?"
Hang Baiqiu said innocently: "What's wrong? We drank so much last night, and now we just want you to eat more. Can we show our face like this?"
Chai Yan had no words to retort, so he had no choice but to hold the tight rice bowl and pick up the rice while eating.
While eating, Chai Yan thought about going to the village for a while, and then going to Nanying to have a look later in the evening. First, he could talk to Liu Hongxuan, and secondly, he could also learn about Zhang Youde's training on the first day.
.
At this moment, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun came back. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Chai Yan and Yuan, and immediately came over to say hello.
Chai Yan saw it and asked, "Where is Yu Tie?"
Guan Maochun answered first: "Second brother went to the market and said he would be back later."
Chai Yan called the two of them to sit down at the table, and said directly in front of Hang Baiqiu: "Do you want to know the real purpose of our coming to Taishan?"
Cheng Jiu nodded with a curious look in his eyes: "I think!"
Guan Maochun asked: "Sir, are we here to suppress the bandits?"
Chai Yan glanced at Hang Baiqiu, looked at the two of them and shook his head: "No! In fact, we are here to find the gold mine!"
Quiet! Jiang Ji Inn suddenly fell into silence!
When Chai Yan saw this, he emphasized: "Really!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun burst into laughter...
"Hahaha, looking for gold... Hahahaha..."
"Sir, your joke...hahaha...is so funny!"
Chai Yan couldn't help but look at Hang Baiqiu, and the two of them didn't know what to say.
After a while, Cheng Jiu found that Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu's expressions were very serious, and he gradually stopped laughing.
Guan Maochun stopped laughing when he saw this.
"Is this really why you came here?" Cheng Jiu asked.
Cheng Jiu glanced at Hang Baiqiu, who nodded heavily and said, "Really, this is the order of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"What did you say, Crown Prince...Your Highness?" Guan Maochun's mouth trembled.
Cheng Jiu was also confused and asked in disbelief: "Sir, is there gold in Lintai Mountain?"
Chai Yan shook his head and said uncertainly: "I don't know, maybe there is, maybe not. In short, it depends on luck..."
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun looked at each other with stunned and speechless expressions.
