Chapter 111 The man in black robe
"Look at your current physical condition, you still want to go and investigate? I think you're just courting death!"
Lin Yuan nodded repeatedly in agreement: "The Second Prince's Consort is right."
Shen Canglan: ?
"No, we have nothing to do with each other."
Lin Yuan looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, and seeing that they were both very composed, she quickly apologized, feeling embarrassed.
At that moment, Grant suddenly stood up.
Lin Yuan took a step back warily, her weapon pointed directly at him.
Grant glanced at her but didn't make any attacking move: "Alright, I'll go."
Everyone else turned to look at him.
Lin Yuan and the Second Prince wore their suspicions on their faces.
"Why are you looking at me like that? The only reason I could be bribed is because you guys can even delay your regular salaries for three years! For three whole years, I haven't seen a single copper coin..."
The second prince lowered his head in shame.
Lin Yuan said in surprise, "Don't you know? The money that was owed to us has been paid, and our salaries will be doubled from now on."
Gran: ?
So why is he going through all this trouble?
He wiped his face: "There's no point in talking about this now. I am a person of Dayong, and this is Dayong. We will not tolerate the bastards of the He Kingdom running wild here."
"That's right!" Tianxiezi clapped in agreement. "I'll go with you! If we brothers join forces, we'll be able to protect ourselves even if we're discovered!"
He turned to the remaining three men, his attitude shifting dramatically: "You should find a place to rest and recover first. We'll talk about revenge once this matter is resolved."
Shen Canglan: ...
The woman he loves has been his mother for so many years, and her child has grown up so much, so why is he still so obsessed with revenge?
What could she say? No wonder she's her mother; she's incredibly charming.
The second prince opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but looking at the backs of Tianxiezi and Gran, he couldn't say anything.
The emperor before the canopy and Jianyang shared the same complex feelings as him at that moment.
Only Zheng Xun fully understood.
Both Tianxiezi and Gran are capable individuals. Even if the Brown Kingdom attacks, they will still be able to protect themselves and even live quite well.
Why did Gran endure three whole years without receiving his payment, only to erupt now? Why did Tianxiezi, someone so obsessed with revenge, instantly set aside his personal grudges when faced with the enemies of Dayong?
Because the Great Yong Dynasty had a great emperor and great princes and princesses. The emperor cared about the people, and the people naturally cared about the Great Yong Dynasty.
Because they genuinely felt that Dayong was better than Heguo, they were willing to defend their homeland. This involved righteousness, compassion, and above all, recognition of the Dayong royal family.
What does it mean that water can carry a boat? This is it.
If my father and my brothers and sisters knew what the people of Dayong had done for the royal family, they would be ashamed that they had not done enough.
Therefore, all those scoundrels in the royal family and nobility deserve to die; their rotten flesh should be removed!
Although Zheng Xun's inner thoughts didn't fluctuate much towards the end, they began to carry a faint hint of murderous intent.
The Emperor and Jianyang were somewhat worried that she would go out and wreak havoc now, but they were more puzzled by what they meant by "what have the people of Dayong done for them".
But they couldn't get an answer from him, and Zheng Xun didn't offer any further explanation.
The light screen followed Gran and Tenjako as they moved nimbly through the mountains and forests.
Zheng Xun sighed, "This is the world of martial arts..."
Their freedom and carefree attitude are enviable.
This mountain path was so long that there were even guards at the deepest part of it.
The number of people was not large, but the pass was fortified with wooden spikes, and the patrolmen were very vigilant.
Fortunately, it was Gran and Tianxiezi who arrived. They were highly skilled in martial arts, and since the main road was impassable, they immediately chose to take a detour.
After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at our destination, only to discover that it held a hidden secret.
What appeared before me was a flat area, with a large pit dug out at one corner.
The description of "mountains with platforms, sand belts of five black, and extremely fine and moist sand" perfectly captures this scene.
"This is……"
Tianxiezi's expression suddenly changed: "A gold mine! They're mining gold here!"
He had worked in the mines during his most desperate times, so he was very familiar with the scene, so familiar that he could recognize it at a glance.
Finally, after much anticipation, it's here!
The emperor laughed in anger.
This mountain range is almost in the heart of Dayong. The fact that so many people from the Brown Kingdom could infiltrate such a place is undoubtedly a slap in the face to everyone in Dayong.
How did they get into Dayong? How were the mined gold deposits transported away? Why weren't they discovered for so long?
It would be a lie to say that no one was protecting them behind the scenes.
Jianyang stared at him worriedly, fearing that he might get sick from anger.
However, the emperor was in excellent health and quickly regained his composure. Of course, his anger had not subsided; he was just waiting for an opportunity to vent it.
Inside the light screen, Gran's anger surged, and the veins on his forehead began to throb wildly.
"Calm down, there are experts inside!" Tianxiezi pressed down on his shoulder to reassure him.
"I know."
"We must not alert the enemy."
Although they are highly skilled in martial arts, there are also experts stationed in the mine, and the enemy has more people, so they will definitely suffer losses if they fight directly.
The gold mines that have already been mined must be recovered, the traitors who are backing them must be caught, and not a single one of the brown people here can escape.
The two men exchanged a glance and prepared to retreat.
However, at that moment, a clear bird call rang out, and when they looked up, they saw a giant eagle with sharp eyes hovering in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, two loud shouts came from the front and left, and two figures rushed towards them.
"Come on!"
"That's too late."
At this moment, a commotion arose in the distance, and the Brown Country people, startled by the angry shouts, rushed towards their location.
They had no time to regret their carelessness. Knowing that this battle was unavoidable, Gran pushed Tianxiezi: "You go and send the message out! I'll cover the rear!"
"If you can't win, run!"
Tianxiezi had originally shared the same idea, but he was too late and had no time to argue with him. After saying those words, he gritted his teeth and left.
Gran snapped out of his daze and stretched out his arms to face the two experts from the Brown Kingdom: "Oh? The thief who stole the mine is even shouting now."
The two men from the Brown Kingdom were a tall, middle-aged man and a young man in a black robe. They were both calm and steady, clearly top-notch experts.
Gran calculated his win rate and came up with a result of zero.
However, this was somewhat expected, so he remained quite calm.
The young man nodded to his companion: "You stop him, I'll go after the person."
"Hey, hey, why are you chasing me? Did you ask me first? This is a bit disrespectful."
Gran held his long sword horizontally, blocking the black-robed man's path.
The man in black robes didn't even glance at him, and walked past him to leave.
The middle-aged man beside him quickly approached, and with a swing of his iron fist, the hard arm guard on his wrist collided with Gran's blade. The sparks that flew out were like fireworks, accompanied by a crisp impact sound, blooming and then quickly disappearing.
With his attack blocked, Gran did not linger. He dodged the middle-aged man's follow-up kick and continued to swing his knife at the man in black robes.
