Finally, no matter who it is, this is now the territory of Daxia, and the gold mines here should belong to the country. It is wrong to mine privately. As the princess of Daxia and the daughter of the prime minister, she cannot ignore it.

What's more, this place was conquered by Hua Moxuan, how could he allow others to do bad things here?

Hua Xin's rare sense of justice reached its peak at this moment.

She wants the Tianshan Snow Lotus!

She wants gold ore too!

Don't let it fall into the wrong hands!

That night, there were snoring sounds all around, and Hua Xin couldn't fall asleep at all. She just kept her eyes closed and dozed off.

She didn't know how long it had been before she heard Nangong Ziqiu's voice.

"Stop talking and follow me."

In the dim light, Nangong Ziqiu held Hua Xin's hand and walked around behind a hidden mountain before they stopped.

"What's going on over there?"

Hua Xin looked at Nangong Ziqiu. It had been a while since they last met, but this guy seemed like a different person.

He was wearing a coarse linen shirt and his hair was tied up with a cloth strip. His face was dusty, as if it was covered with ash.

"This mine has been in existence for more than a year. The leader is a general of Beirong named Tuoba Zongzheng. Although your brother drove the Beirong away and made them pay with three cities, Beishan is at the edge and is located in the Tianshan Mountains. I guess no one knows there is a gold mine here."

"Then what's going on with these Daxia people?"

"Among the people sent by the court, there is an official named Tie Yi. He is responsible for the daily management of Beishan City and the connection with the Beirong people. As a result, he was instigated to rebel and now helps the Beirong people. He also has a nephew named Tie Ye, who is in charge of population registration here."

"So what should we do now? I just know there is a mine here, but I don't know where they transport the ore after digging it, or where they process it."

Hua Xin had a headache. She didn't expect that the Tianshan trip would encounter such a big incident.

It is conceivable that with the blessing of the gold mine, the Beirong people stopped fighting on the surface, but in fact they were recuperating.

With a gold mine, you can refine gold, and with gold you can recruit soldiers and horses. It is unknown when the war will come back.

This news must be sent back to Mingdu.

"Let's go. I've knocked them all out. They will definitely sleep soundly tonight. Now, let's go outside the cave and take a look. Don't you want to know where the gold we dug out went? Let's go and take a look." Nangong Ziqiu looked around cautiously and said, "There is snow all around, so it's hard to tell the direction, but I left something on them."

Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu carefully left the big bunk bed and took many detours to avoid the patrolmen.

When he was about to walk out of the mine, Hua Xin stopped.

"Wait, it's cold outside! Put some clothes on."

Nangong Ziqiu watched Hua Xin take out many pieces of clothes like magic, all of which were winter clothes they had bought in Beishan City before, and he put them on without saying a word.

Seeing that Nangong Ziqiu didn't ask, Hua Xin didn't say anything.

The two men armed themselves as quickly as possible and then continued walking.

There is more than one entrance in the mine, and there is also an exit for transportation out. In other words, they had dug through here a long time ago.

There were people guarding the entrance to the mine, but when Nangong Ziqiu took action, these people fell asleep one after another and would not wake up for a while.

This is equivalent to the back mountain.

The mountain behind is still covered with snow. Even at night, you can still see everything around you clearly under the light of the stars and the moon.

The snowy mountains were already cold, and as the two walked hard, their bodies warmed up a lot.

"It probably snowed before, so many footprints were covered up." Nangong Ziqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It might be difficult for us to find our way back there."

The snow around them was very deep, and in some places it was higher than a person. Even if they wanted to climb over it, it was very difficult, which slowed down their progress a lot.

Hua Xin looked around and asked, "Are you sure it's this direction?"

"Guess."

Nangong Ziqiu took out a box from his sleeve, opened the box, and a palm-sized insect flew out.

I saw it slowly open its wings and fly in the air, with its tail flashing, like an enlarged version of a firefly.

"This time I'm sure. Look, these are seeker bugs. I sprinkled their favorite nectar on their bodies. Look, these are the pink marks." Nangong Ziqiu pointed to the place where the seeker bugs stayed. "These are the traces left by my nectar. Ordinary people can't detect them, but seeker bugs can. These nectars are refined into water. They won't show up at first, but they will show up under the light. Even if they are covered by snow, they will penetrate layer by layer."

Hua Xin tried hard to look over and found that there were indeed some traces of powder-like substance underneath the tracking insect. This was new and something she had never seen before.

"This is Feng Enchanting's nectar. When it is sprinkled on them, it is water droplets. When they move, it will condense into powder through the friction between their clothes and the surrounding objects. If it is left on the objects, it will turn into water marks. When the temperature rises, it will condense into powder again. Unless it is washed away by heavy rain, it can last for a long time."

Hua Xin wanted to reach out her hand, but the tracking bug suddenly flew up and Nangong Ziqiu stopped her hand.

"Don't touch it. There are still toxins in this nectar. Although it is not fatal, it will make human skin itchy if it comes into contact with it."

"So magical?" Hua Xin withdrew his hand and no longer thought about touching it. He followed Nangong Ziqiu and went wherever the tracker bug flew.

"Feng Yaorao, judging by the name, it should be a very beautiful flower!"

Hua Xin was very curious about where this flower could be seen.

"I'll take you there if I have a chance. At least we can't see it now." Nangong Ziqiu followed the tracking bug for a while, and a small path began to appear in front of them. "Xinxin, there is a road here, and there are wheel tracks."

Hua Xin followed it and found that it was indeed a path. The path meandered upwards, and not far ahead was another mountain range.

"It seems that the place where they mine gold and hide the gold are two hills apart!"

"Let's go along this path and take a look."

The two of them walked along the path cautiously, fearing that a stranger would suddenly appear ahead.

The path leads all the way to the top of the mountain, which is still covered with snow and nothing else.

"Strange, there should be someone."

Nangong Ziqiu looked in one direction and the mountains there seemed unusual.

"Xinxin, there are traces of artificial mining here. The ice surface should have been reprocessed."

Hua Xin looked around and suddenly stamped her feet: "Do you think it is possible that they hid the gold mine down there?"

"You mean they dug the cellar?"
