Escape after crossing

Jiang Ziluo looked at Leng Chenming, who was frowning with a thousand worries between his brows, and asked softly, "Are you worried about how our carefully planned plan was leaked?"

Leng Chenming shook his head slowly and said in a heavy tone, "This is not the only thing I am worried about. Uncle Ninth Prince was able to come here so accurately, and even the people he brought with him knew about it. I am afraid that many people in Kyoto have heard about it, and maybe even the King of the Country has known about it."

Jiang Ziluo tried to comfort him: "Perhaps things are not as bad as we thought. Why don't we wait for a while and then go find the shopkeeper to ask for details."

Leng Chenming pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "No need, just ask Uncle Nine directly, I'm sure you'll get a more comprehensive and detailed understanding."

After the two of them had made their decision, they waited patiently for a while. Finally, there was a gentle knock on the door. The person who came was the shopkeeper, who came to tell him which room Leng Shixuan was in.

Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo slowly walked to the door of Leng Shixuan's room and knocked gently on the closed door. The door opened, and it was Bai Yi who appeared in front of them.

When he saw that the people coming were Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and quickly invited the two into the room.

Not long after, Bai Yi walked out of the room again and stood quietly at the door, waiting. At this time, only Leng Shixuan, Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo were left in the room.

Leng Shixuan looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him, and felt a sense of surprise in his heart, but more of confusion.

"Why do you two look like this?" Leng Shixuan frowned, his eyes moving back and forth between Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo. They were still dressed like country folk.

So Leng Shixuan tried to find the answer from their expressions. However, facing Leng Shixuan's questioning, Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo just looked at each other silently, but did not speak. The room fell into a strange silence...

"Uncle Ninth Prince, why are you here? And what about the rumors we just heard about my death?"

The two of them were filled with countless questions and urgently needed to find answers and sort out the clues.

Therefore, Leng Shixuan decided to take the lead in telling the other party about the rumors that had been spreading in the capital in recent days and why he came to this place.

After listening to this, Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo did not show any anger, but pointed out directly that all this was actually a conspiracy set up by Lingxi Kingdom.

When Leng Shixuan heard the news that Leng Chenming had died, he was full of doubt and disbelief. He knew Leng Chenming's strength and wisdom very well, and he didn't believe that such a powerful person would die easily.

Therefore, he took over the investigation of this matter, not only out of trust in Leng Chenming, but also in the hope of buying more time for Leng Chenming at a critical moment.

Facts have proved that Leng Shixuan's original decision was wise and correct. However, when he saw Leng Chenming hesitated and seemed to have some concerns, his heart sank.

He understood that the things hidden behind this must not be simple, and might even involve something extremely complicated.

"Uncle Ninth Prince, I..." Leng Chenming was interrupted by Jiang Ziluo just as he started to speak.

"Ninth Prince, Leng Chenming and I ran off to the Lingxi Imperial Court together, and we both stole from their treasury!"

Leng Shixuan was shocked when he heard this: "What? You two? You two actually went to steal someone else's treasury? Or Lingxi's? Xiaochen, what on earth are you thinking?"

In Leng Shixuan's memories of these two lifetimes, it is impossible for Leng Chenming to do such a thing, right?

Jiang Ziluo answered firmly: "That's right, it was the two of us who stole from the Lingxi Kingdom's treasury, and we did it very smoothly. However, as for where we hid those treasures we stole, I can't tell you!" As she spoke, she kept the secret tightly in her heart.

Leng Shixuan shook his head helplessly, "You guys are so audacious. But now that things have come to this, just hide the things. But how do you plan to give a favorable explanation to the king or the outside world?"

Leng Chenming also frowned, he didn't expect things to be so tricky. Jiang Ziluo was thinking about what kind of thing he could do to stop Youyou from talking.

Before the two could come up with a solution, Leng Shixuan suddenly said, "Xiao Chen, I have a good excuse that might be able to help you, but... hehe, you might have to bleed a little."

Leng Chenming looked at Leng Shixuan's slightly cunning expression when he spoke the last sentence, and he immediately understood in his heart - his uncle was probably going to set a trap for him again!

Speaking of which, this matter can be traced back to not long ago. At that time, Leng Shixuan's subordinates accidentally explored a mysterious and extremely precious black stone reef mine. This major discovery has not yet been known to the outside world.

In fact, it was a coincidence that Leng Shixuan was able to find the Black Stone Reef Mine. After all, in his previous life, he had spent a lot of effort to find this mine.

After his rebirth, he had been in deep trouble in Kyoto, as if he was in dire straits. It was not until the last time he was going to Jiangdu City that he assigned two of his men to secretly search for this vein. Although he had known where the mine was in his previous life, he was not sure of its exact location.

His people spent a lot of effort to find the exact location! He just got the news a few days before leaving Beijing. He never thought that it would be useful now, and he could even get a large sum of money in return!

Leng Shixuan secretly planned to use this unique resource to exchange money from Leng Chenming. However, he also knew that the reason why Leng Chenming was short of money over the years was mainly because the military camp needed to pay a large amount of military pay and purchase sufficient military rations.

Therefore, he cannot be too greedy or act too harshly. After all, he still has to consider more about the soldiers who are fighting hard in the barracks.

"Hey, Uncle Wang, what exactly is that excuse you just gave? Tell me about it and see if it's worth my spending the money." Leng Chenming is naturally not the kind of person who is completely brainless.

"Some time ago, my people discovered a Black Rock Reef Mine in the Lingnan Mountains. It's not too far from here."

"Little Uncle Wang wants me to tell Uncle Huang about the Black Rock Mine and then say that I went to the mountain over there and didn't know that the other side of the mountain would be the Lingxi border, and I happened to meet the enemy general, so this rumor started?"
