Huangfu Yuchen glanced at him coldly, raised the corner of his mouth, and calmly said, “It is well known that the Youji Kingdom lacks various resources. Many supplies need to be purchased from the Great Han Kingdom. Even the fragrant rice that the Youji Emperor loves to eat has to be bought from the Great Han Kingdom. Aren’t the two generals afraid that this news will reach General Wei Chi’s ears, and he will block the border trade in anger? I wonder who will be in a hurry at that time.”
General Qin Ke remained unchanged.
“You—” Deputy General Shi became furious and was about to speak, but was stopped by General Qin Ke.
Huangfu Yuchen said lightly, “Let’s go.”
The group swaggered away.
General Qin Ke’s face turned dark, and he muttered in a low voice, “These people probably have some background. Send a few people to follow them.”
“Yes!”
Gao Feng whispered, “Boss, Young Master, someone is following us.”
“Let them be.” Yan Ge held onto Huangfu Yuchen’s arm and walked to a roadside stall, admiring the various accessories unique to the Youji Kingdom.
They walked and wandered around, with the followers trailing behind. When they stopped, the other party also stopped. When they continued, the other party also continued.
After they had strolled around enough, Yan Ge signaled to Huangfu Yuchen and the others. They merged into the crowd, easily shaking off their pursuers.
“Xiao Ge, now you can tell us your plan,” Huangfu Yuchen said.
Yan Ge thought of his brilliant plan and chuckled, “Gao Feng, Gao Yun, take this twenty-two taels of gold to a goldsmith. Ask the owner to coat a sheet of iron about the size of a table with gold. Then go back to the Ruyi Inn we passed by earlier.”
“Yes.”
Gao Feng and Gao Yun left with the gold.
When it was dark, the five of them arrived in the outskirts.
Yan Ge said, “Let’s release the Gold Python first and see if we can find any gold mines nearby.”
Gao Yun said, “Young Master, gold is precious precisely because it is scarce. It may not be easy to find one.”
Yan Ge smiled, “You underestimate the Gold Python. Its ability to grow this big is enough to prove its talent for finding gold mines. If there’s a gold mine nearby, it will definitely find it.”
Huangfu Yuchen said, “We’ll know once we try.”
Gao Feng was a bit worried, “What if it escapes after being released?”
Yan Ge patted Huangfu Yuchen’s back and said, “With Yuchen here as the gatekeeper, even ten thousand men can’t open the gate.”
Huangfu Yuchen chuckled, “Mmm, but it’s ‘husband.’”
Yan Ge was speechless.
Having had enough of the idle talk, he took out the silk box containing the Gold Python. A golden light flashed, and the shrunken Gold Python landed on the ground, twisting gently. He then used the resizing technique, restoring the Gold Python to its original form.
Yan Jin had only heard Yan Ge describe what the Gold Python looked like, but on seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, it’s so shiny!”
The Gold Python seemed to have truly become tame. Knowing that Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen were not easy to mess with, it didn’t attack them. It didn’t even spare them a glance, lowering its head and burrowing into the ground.
“Gao Feng, Gao Yun, you stay here.”
Yan Ge had only managed to say a few words before being embraced by Huangfu Yuchen. They closely followed behind the Gold Python and went underground.
Yan Jin was held by Huangfu Yuchen’s other arm.
Gao Feng and Gao Yun understood that it would be difficult to keep up with Yan Ge and Huangfu Yuchen, so they obediently stayed in place and found a hidden spot.
The Gold Python moved through the underground like a fish in water. It went forward for about five to six miles before starting to burrow deeper underground. Yan Ge estimated that it would need to go nearly a thousand meters deep before its speed slowed down.
Suddenly, the Gold Python rolled in all directions, squeezing the surrounding soil with its immense strength and making the surrounding space wider. When it was large enough for it to turn around inside, it stopped.
Yan Ge raised the Night Pearl and saw a wall of gold shimmering in front of him. He smiled without surprise, “Haha… Ah!”
In an instant, he saw the Gold Python open its mouth and swallow a large chunk of goldstone, and he exclaimed in distress. Ignoring him, the Gold Python opened its mouth again, taking in another big bite.
Huangfu Yuchen lifted his hand, and the pitiful Gold Python shrank again, and returned to the silk box.
Yan Ge clung to Huangfu Yuchen’s shoulder and patted the silk box, comforting it, “If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it more grass. Don’t worry, I’ll let you eat, but not now.”
Yan Jin looked around and sighed, “This is a huge gold mine, but it’s at least two to three feet underground. No wonder nobody has discovered it until now. Papa, what do we do next?”
“Next, we proceed with the second part of the plan,” Yan Ge said with a smirk.
Early in the morning, Lushan Town became lively as soon as the city gate opened.
General Qin Ke wore a frustrated expression as he walked with his subordinates on the main street. He was certain that the people from the Great Han Kingdom he encountered yesterday were suspicious, but his subordinates lost track of them. After returning to the military camp, he grew more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He had slept poorly all night, waking up before dawn for training and then followed for patrol duties.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in white in the crowd not far away, looking around nervously. Wasn’t that the smiling young man from yesterday?
“You all continue with the patrol!”
“Yes!”
After a quick scan and ensuring that the others who were with Yan Ge weren’t nearby, General Qin Ke swiftly chased him. He observed as the person purchased a sturdy small hoe from an iron shop, filled a water pouch at a tea shop, bought twenty steamed buns from a bun shop, and finally acquired two torches from a grocery store.
General Qin Ke was full of suspicion. He was afraid of alerting the person, so he lightened his footsteps and quietly followed behind Yan Ge until they reached the outskirts. He watched as the person in white looked around again and suddenly moved a pile of dead branches, rotten grass, and fallen leaves, revealing a dark cave.
General Qin Ke widened his eyes in astonishment. This place was naturally filled with thorns, and it was infested with snakes and insects among the dense vegetation. Even ordinary people wouldn’t come here to gather firewood or collect medicinal herbs. He never expected that there would be such a large cave hidden here.
The fanatic and excited expression on the person’s face made him extremely suspicious. What could be hidden in this cave that would make this Great Han person so excited? He watched as the person took out something from their pocket, brought it close to the torch for examination, and even grinned from ear to ear.
When General Qin Ke saw what the person held in their hand, he turned pale. It was a piece of golden stone. Could it be gold! Could there be a gold mine hidden here?
The cave sloped downward and continued for quite some distance. After walking for a while, they finally reached the end.
The person in white stuck the torch into the ground, rushed towards a golden wall, and laughed excitedly. He then picked up the small hoe and began digging fervently.
General Qin Ke had some skills as a stationed border general. Even at this moment, he managed to restrain his excitement and calmly watched the person dig relentlessly for nearly half an hour until he finally grew tired. He rubbed his numb hands, sat down in a corner, drank a few sips of water, ate some steamed buns, and held up a piece of golden stone in admiration. After a while, he actually fell asleep!
This was a great opportunity! General Qin Ke listened carefully to the person’s breathing and confirmed that they were fast asleep. He quietly picked up the hoe, walked to a slightly distant spot, and started digging on the wall. His luck was good. After just two attempts, he dug out a fist-sized golden stone. After carefully examining it, he couldn’t contain his excitement.
He put the golden stone into his pocket, returned the hoe to its original place, and swiftly used lightness skills to quickly leave.
Yan Ge opened his eyes and grinned cunningly.
General Qin Ke returned to the city and saw a commoner leading a horse about to leave the city. He walked a few steps forward and said, “I am General Qin Ke. I’m borrowing the horse and will return it soon! Go—”
Before the horse’s owner could react, his horse had already galloped away.
“Go—Move aside—”
The people on the street panicked and retreated to both sides of the road, bewildered by what was happening. They wondered what major event had occurred that the general was riding a fast horse on a busy street.
Deputy General Shi happened to be in the camp and when he saw General Qin Ke return in a hurry, he knew that something big had happened. He quickly approached.
“General!”
“Deputy General Shi, immediately gather one thousand soldiers and bring shovels, iron balls, and spades!”
“General, what’s going on?”
“Hurry!” General Qin Ke shouted sternly.
Deputy General Shi didn’t dare to ask further. “Understood!”
After assembling the soldiers, General Qin Ke had a slightly triumphant expression as he said to Deputy General Shi, “This morning, I followed the white-clad person from yesterday and discovered a gold mine.”
“What?!” Deputy General Shi was skeptical and cupped his hand, “General, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Our mountains and rivers have been thoroughly explored by kings of various dynasties over the past few hundred years. There have been no new veins or mines discovered. Furthermore, that person in white is from the Great Han Kingdom. How would they know where the gold mine is in our kingdom? General, could it be that you’ve been deceived?”
General Qin Ke took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to him. “I randomly dug this out in the cave. How could it be fake?”
Deputy General Shi opened the cloth bag and was greatly astonished. “It’s real!”
General Qin Ke ordered, “Leave the city immediately! Follow me!”
A thousand soldiers galloped towards the outskirts, quickly arriving at the hidden cave entrance.
“Ignite the torches, and everyone follow!”
On entering the cave, Deputy General Shi followed closely beside General Qin Ke, carefully examining the cave walls. “The scale of this cave is so large. It’s excessive if it was made just to deceive us. Is it really real?”
General Qin Ke said, “I won’t waste words. You’ll know when we arrive. There’s only one person inside the cave, and based on initial judgment, he doesn’t seem to know martial arts. But everyone should still be cautious.”
“Yes.”
The group hurriedly advanced and soon reached the bottom. They didn’t see the person in white, but General Qin Ke didn’t think too much of it, assuming that he had temporarily left or had gone back to fetch tools to collect the gold stones.
He pointed to the golden wall on the opposite side and smiled triumphantly. “Do you see it, Deputy General Shi?”
Deputy General Shi was filled with joy, he quickly walked over and ordered, “Dig!”
A soldier used a shovel to dig, and with a “clang”, a large piece of golden stone fell to the ground.
“General, look at this piece. It’s this big. If we report this to the Emperor, it will be a great achievement!” Deputy General Shi happily walked over, picked up the stone, but suddenly stopped. “Huh, this…”
Deputy General Shi held the stone, slowly stood up and looked at General Qin Ke with a complex expression. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word.
“What’s the matter?” General Qin Ke asked impatiently as he stepped forward.
Deputy General Shi swallowed nervously and replied, “This…. It’s just ordinary stone covered with a layer of gold!”
“What!” General Qin Ke turned pale with shock.
In a similar cave three miles away, Yan Ge imagined General Qin Ke’s expression and happily leaned into Huangfu Yuchen’s embrace.
Gao Feng and Gao Yun also laughed until tears streamed down their faces.
“Boss, Young Master, I really wish I could see the expression on that general’s face. It must be priceless.”
Yan Ge couldn’t stop laughing, “Now he knows that people of our Great Han aren’t easy to mess with!”
