The Fifth Master and his party settled in Taohua Village, and Daohua Village was occupied by them. People who left early and came back late all day were almost invisible.

Taohua Village remained the same as before, and no one in the village noticed their existence at all.

Daohua can only see Fifth Master and the others during dinner.

"Put the food on the table."

As soon as she saw the Fifth Master and the others arriving, Grandma Gu couldn't help but show joy in her eyes, and Daohua was silent.

What she can be sure of now is that Master, Granny Gu and Master Wu do know each other.

"Old friend..."

Master and mother-in-law can know the person who handles secret affairs for the emperor. It seems that their previous identities were not simple.

Daohua was very curious about this, but unfortunately, no matter how she asked, her master and mother-in-law remained silent.

Although she was a little regretful, she didn't worry too much. As long as these people didn't threaten their safety, she didn't care that much.

After eating, Master Wu checked into Xiao Yeyang's room, while the others went down the mountain to rest in the village.

Early the next morning, when the rice flowers came up, these people were gone again.

Seeing these people running around in such a hurry, Daohua narrowed her eyes.

It seems that Ningmen Mansion may actually have an unknown gold mine.

Regarding Daohua's previous search for gold mines to seek rewards, the Fifth Master and others, including Grandma Gu and Gu Jian, didn't really take it seriously, and they all regarded it as a little girl's joke.

These days, Daohua didn't mention this matter anymore, and everyone had forgotten it.

Now, when Daohua saw that Fifth Master went out early and came back late, she began to think seriously.

Her space is supported and operated by the air of grass and trees. Over the years, she has become very sensitive to the air of grass and trees. She knows the breath of wattle and grass. If she really makes up her mind to look for it, she thinks she can find it.

.

However, she still has some doubts about the fifth masters.

Although they knew their master and mother-in-law, people are subject to change. The two old people have always lived in seclusion, how could they know the dangers of the world.

Let’s wait until Xiao Yeyang comes to talk about everything.

"Master, are my third and fourth brothers really okay?"

A few days later, seeing that Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao had not returned yet, Daohua felt worried and went to find her master again to confirm the situation.

Gu Jian affirmed: "I can be sure that their lives will not be in danger."

As for the other things, he couldn't guarantee it.

It was obvious that neither Xiao Wu nor the four people who followed him were easy to mess with. The three children were tied up, closed in boxes, and their boss was tortured. It would be strange if they didn't vent their anger.<

/p>

The young apprentice is protected by him, otherwise, he would have to be punished.

Daohua's expression changed. It's not life-threatening. Does that mean there are other dangers?

Seeing that his apprentice was worried, Gu Jian said again: "Those people are all capable, otherwise they would not be sent out by the emperor to carry out secret missions. Do you think their guards can be just ordinary people?"

"Although your third and fourth brothers have gone to the military camp to practice for a while, it is not enough. They have too little experience. Letting them undergo some training will only benefit them and not hurt them."

Hearing this, Daohua didn't ask any more questions, but when she thought of the way the rough and arrogant uncle named Wu talked about the third and fourth brothers, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the two brothers.

Khan.

Daohua didn't dwell on this problem anymore. She looked down the mountain and muttered: "This Xiao Yeyang, why is the speed so slow this time?"

In the past, if she arrived in the morning, the guy would be sure to come in the afternoon.

It had been several days since she released the falcon this time, but there was no sign of it. Even if he was far away looking for someone, he should have arrived by now.

Hearing his disciple's muttering, Gu Jian was silent and glanced at the small mound of soil beside the courtyard wall.

Thinking that the identity of Mr. Wu and others should not be exposed, after thinking about it, he still did not say that the falcon had been laid to rest.

Based on the personality of the apprentice, if she knew that the falcon had not delivered the message, she would definitely think of other ways to deliver it. In order not to cause trouble, she would just wait slowly like this.

In the next two days, Daohua was pickling snow pears while waiting for Xiao Yeyang.

Even when the ceramic jars he brought were filled, Xiao Yeyang hadn't come yet.

At this time, Daohua couldn't help but start to worry.

"Is something going to happen to Xiao Yeyang?"

Grandma Gu helped pack away the porcelain jars and said with a smile: "Don't think blindly, there are so many people around Mr. Yang. Didn't you say that he went to find someone? Maybe he went a little far, or maybe the falcon didn't spread the news.

”

Daohua frowned: "Maybe."

In the evening, as soon as Daohua put the meal on the table, Master Wu came with Wei Qi and Eunuch An. As for Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua, they were running outside with their guards.

Ningmen Prefecture covers three prefectures and eighteen counties, and it will be impossible to find them all in a short time.

But their time is very tight.

The three of them all looked a little tired and their moods were not very high.

These days, they leave early and return late. They visited several nearby counties and found no wattle growing anywhere.

Gu Jian motioned to Daohua to serve rice to the three of them.

Daohua said nothing, got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl.

When she came over with the bowls and chopsticks, she saw her master asking the fifth master with concern: "Why, no news at all?"

The Fifth Master sat down naturally, rubbed his swollen temples, shook his head and said: "Gold mines are not that easy to find. If they were easy to find, it is impossible for the imperial court to not know about them all these years."

Grandma Gu saw that the fifth master and the three of them were hungry, so she said, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating."

After the meal, a man in black suddenly came to Taohua Temple, holding a letter in his hand.

Wei Qi hurriedly walked towards the guard, took the letter from his hand, and then hurriedly walked towards the Fifth Master.

The fifth master calmly opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he was silent for a long time, and then looked at Granny Gu and Gu Jian with some hesitation: "I want to go back."

As soon as these words came out, Daohua noticed that her master and Granny Gu's expressions were stiff. She wanted to stay in the house and listen to them talking, but unexpectedly, Eunuch An pulled her away because the kitchen had not been cleaned up yet.

Come out.

"...Something happened, I have to go back immediately, otherwise...I will have chaos...come to see you again..."

Daohua only listened to a few words intermittently.

That night, the lights in the main room were always on, and Daohua wanted to go in. Unfortunately, Eunuch An and Wei Qi blocked the door like door gods.

"Master, may I serve you a cup of tea?"

"No, you can go to bed and catch up with your mother-in-law and fifth master."

Hearing this, Daohua pursed her lips and finally had to go back to her room.

Early the next morning, as soon as Daohua got up, she saw Wang Maner.

Because the Fifth Masters occupied Zhuangzi, Wang Maner and Qin Xiaoliu were forcibly requisitioned, and they cooked and boiled water for those people every day.

Daohua said in surprise: "Those people are gone?"

Wang Maner nodded: "Girl, who are those people? They scared me to death."

Daohua: "......Don't worry about who they are, we won't see them again anyway. Go down the mountain and tell Brother Xiaoliu and the others to forget about what happened these days, so as not to cause trouble."

”

Wang Maner nodded.

After Daohua washed up, she went to the yard to practice whipping. After practicing, she found that there was no movement in the house of Granny Gu and Master. She couldn't help but screamed a few times. When she didn't hear a response, she went into the house to search, and then she found two people.

No one is here.

"Master, mother-in-law!"

Daohua was worried that something had happened, so she quickly left Taohua Temple. When she left the yard, she saw two old people standing in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, supporting each other.

Daohua ran over and walked into the pavilion. The two old people didn't notice it, they just looked down the mountain.

Feeling the depression of the two old people, Daohua also fell silent.

Master and mother-in-law are still too lonely, otherwise, they would not be so reluctant to see an old friend.

After a while, the wind started blowing on the top of the mountain, and Daohua spoke: "Mother-in-law, Master, the wind has started blowing. Let's go back."

Granny Gu and Gu Jian nodded, turned around and walked back.

Daohua couldn't help but ask again: "Master, what is the relationship between that fifth master and you?"

Gu Jian: "...a passer-by who may never see us again."

Hearing this answer, Daohua was stunned and wanted to ask something else. It could be seen that both his master and Granny Gu looked like they didn't want to speak, so they shut up knowingly.
