"I'm ready to give up."

When I heard Tie Yushan's words, I was really surprised and looked at him in confusion: "Why?"

Tie Yushan smiled, as if he was just planning to shake his head and stumble over. I stepped forward and said, "Uncle Tie, is it because of me?"

Tie Yushan smiled and said, "Actually, Lao Tie was just here to join in the fun. Now the head of the family, the old lady, and Liu Sanye are all interested in this mine, so Lao Tie's possession is even more unpredictable. It's better not to see this."

"Uncle Tie..."

I was a little unaware of what to say. When I was in a dilemma, a gust of wind blew up, shaking the radiance in my ears, and making rustling sounds. The thick fog also had a ruthless platform in the wind, winding like a dragon, passing by each of us enchantingly, and then being swept by the wind, drifting into the air.

When I looked at Tieyushan again, his eyes were retracting from the bushes behind me.

"Uncle Tie, I--"

Seeing that I wanted to say something, he smiled faintly: "Since the eldest lady is here, the old lady will naturally support the young lady's trend. How dare you compete with the young lady for profit!"

"Uncle Tie, I am also doing things for others, you don't have to do this-"

He smiled and said, "Then I will not make the eldest lady embarrassed."

“…”

When I met his eyes, I was silent for a moment and said, "Then, I will thank Uncle Tie in advance."

He said, "I dare not."

After saying this, he stepped behind me.

I stood where he had just stood, looking at the scenery in front of me - in the mist, on the low hillside, bushes of flowers and trees slowly appeared in front of me, but as the wind calmed down, the thick fog condensed again, covering the scenery in front of me, looming.

Xichuan, this place where I was born and grew up, but there are too many things that I can't tell.

I don’t know if it was influenced by such a scenery, but no one spoke anymore.

Everyone was quiet, and some people walked around. Looking at the surrounding environment, Susu was always by my side. After a while, not only the corners of her skirt, but also the dew condensed from the radius in her ears. Susu was afraid that I would catch a cold, so she dragged my arm and urged me to go down the mountain.

So we turned around and walked towards the road we came.

I just walked around the bush of trees, but I saw that Weng Tai was still there on the way I came. When he bumped into us, he seemed a little panicked, but he immediately calmed down: "Miss."

I raised my eyebrows: "Mr. Weng, aren't you going to leave just now?"

"Ah, the scenery is beautiful, I linger for a while."

Pei Yuanfeng and Zhao Yun, who were beside him, looked at him with a slight squinted eyes, and his sharp eyes seemed to see through this person. No matter how calm the man was, facing such two people who had fought on the battlefield, his eyes made him unable to hold on and he became hesitant.

But I didn't make things difficult for him, I just smiled and said, "That's right."

“Yes, yes.”

"Then let's take a look. The scenery on this mountain is really good."

As I said that, I stopped asking questions and left with Pei Yuanfeng and the others.

After walking a distance, Susu grabbed my wrist and whispered: "Miss, I think he was clearly eavesdropping just now-"

"Stop talking."

I lowered my voice, and didn't even look at it. I went down the mountain with them without hesitation.

In this way, on the first morning of my arrival in Wulong, I "deployed" a strong opponent. This was an unexpected "joy" for me. The wind on the mountain was so strong that they were worried that I would catch a cold, so they urged me to go down the mountain in a short while.

Where we stayed, was a huge courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

It is no exaggeration to say that this courtyard is huge. A square and dark courtyard suddenly appeared between the green mountains and green waters, as if it was a huge and important chess box on the roads.

It really looks like a chess box. There are many people coming to discuss business. Several people came, and naturally they all had their own followers and guards. So many people actually lived there.

We, Pei Yuanfeng and others, were arranged in the east wing room, Weng Tai, Tieyushan, and some other people who came to buy the mine, were arranged in the west wing room.

It's like black or white chess pieces in the chess box.

Several more people came in a row.

I thought I had come a long way ahead of time, but now I realize that everyone thinks so.

The people who served and treated everyone in the courtyard were a group of young and beautiful women wearing green shirts.

I came here and thought I would meet one or two managers. If I could talk, even if I could investigate, I could find out some things about Changmingzong. But they were not managers. All our diet and daily life were handled by these young women. They were smart and capable, and everything was arranged properly. Even when we came for the first time, they could find out the identity of each of us without any fault.

I thought they were just ordinary servants, but I saw that this morning, there were people coming from outside. The bird cage in the hands of the old man in the lead was accidentally broken, and the white thrush inside immediately flew out of the cage. At this time, a woman in a green shirt passing by holding a plate immediately stepped on the stone pillar beside her, jumped up suddenly, and then leveraged the force on the beam. She suddenly flew up to the eaves, grabbed the bird that had just escaped from the cage, landed steadily in the garden, and handed the bird back to the old man.

The old man was so anxious that he was sweating. At this time, he hurriedly took the thrush with both hands and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you!"

The maid said nothing, just nodded politely, and then continued to hold the plate and do her own thing.

Susu and I saw it next to us, and we were amazed.

What awesome kung fu!

The skill is good, but secondly, there are so many such servants in this courtyard, but they are afraid that they have such skills. What they do is just the most ordinary job of serving and taking care of, which shows how strict the training and how rigorous the methods of the people within the Changming Sect are.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! There is probably no ordinary person in this courtyard.

The old man held his thrush like a baby, rubbing the bird's head. He looked up and saw me standing under the corridor, and nodded politely at me.

I nodded, but said nothing. Taking advantage of their busy schedule, I took Susu to the west wing.

Normally, we can't have too much contact before we talk about business, but Tie Yushan has announced his withdrawal, and it's my own person, so it's not too unusual for me to see him. I delayed in his room for nearly an hour and let Susu stay by the door. When I came out, it was time for lunch.

Of course, they also brought the food to our room.

A young woman in green shirt stood by the table, which was filled with exquisite dishes. When she saw us in, she was slightly blessed, and then took out the silver needles she carried with her to test the dishes on the table one by one. After the test, they were all non-toxic.

She said softly: "Ms. Yan is please use it slowly."

I nodded, and she turned around and retreated.

Su Su helped me back to the table and said softly: "They are so careful."

I smiled and said, "Bidding for a mine is really different from talking about the silk business. Any money circulated is millions. The cheapest people here are above this number-"

I compared five fingers, and Su Su immediately gasped.

"You said, do you want to be careful?"

"That's right, you can't afford to hurt anyone." She said, turning to me again: "Miss, isn't it dangerous for us to be here?"

"It depends on the end of the business." Speaking of this, I seemed to think of something: "But--"

"But what?"

"I remembered that letter."

"What letter?"

"The letter Yan Qingchen wrote to me before."

"That's not--"

"It fell. When I was in the palace, Yihua Palace was messed up by the rebels, so I didn't find the letter again."

Su Su opened her eyes wide: "What's the matter?"

I looked up at her, and felt that there was nothing left to panic, so I said, "It's nothing, we just need to be careful anyway."

“…”

She looked at me, obviously knowing that I hadn't finished my words, but I refused to say anything, and she couldn't ask anymore, so she had to give up. She turned around and served a bowl of soup, but held herself and took a sip.

"Why?!"

"Well, it's okay."

She said, smashing her mouth, then mixing the soup bowl and giving it to me.

I looked at her and laughed and cried: "What are you doing? I'm not an emperor, so I still have to test the drugs for me. Besides, I've tried it with a silver needle just now!"

Su Su said, "I know, but no one is reliable in Silver Needle."

“…”

"Besides, if anyone really wants to harm the lady, they will not dare to attack the lady like this when I see me."

I was so blocked by her that I had nothing to say, so I could only smile bitterly and shake my head, lower my head and start drinking the soup.

After drinking the soup and eating the food, we were all safe and sound.

At night, they tested the food they delivered with silver needles first. Su Su ignored my obstruction and insisted on trying everything. She confirmed that there was no problem before she let me eat it.

I want to tell her that things are not as serious as I said before. After all, this is the sphere of influence of Changmingzong, and they must protect our safety. But Su Su has been persisting, and I have no choice but to let her taste it first.

But something happened that night.

Because we had nothing to do and couldn't ask each other for information, we turned off the lights early to fall asleep. When I was in a daze, I suddenly heard a sound of fighting coming from a place not far outside.

It was originally not loud and it was separated by the courtyard wall, but because the place was too quiet, the sound was like a wake-up call in the middle of the night, which suddenly woke me up.

I suddenly sat up from the bed, and Su Su woke up as well. While pulling her shoes and buttoning the collar, she walked to the bed: "Miss!"
