Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

Chen Jing hid in the tent, listening carefully to the conversation between the people outside. It seemed as if two villains were fighting fiercely in her heart: one voice told her to go out bravely and face everything; while the other voice warned her to keep silent and not act rashly.

Just as Chen Jing was in a state of confusion, she suddenly laughed out loud. There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in her laughter - she thought to herself, she had already experienced the brink of death, what else was there to be afraid of? Why should she care about those insignificant things?

At this time, Chen Jing thought of the princess's trust and care for her. Since the princess was willing to take her along, she should go all out and fulfill her duty. Thinking of this, Chen Jing felt her mood gradually calm down, and her originally tense nerves gradually relaxed.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then strode out of the tent and walked straight towards the busy people. Every step seemed firm and powerful, as if she was saying goodbye to the timid self in the past. At this moment, Chen Jing was full of determination and courage, ready to meet the challenges of the future.

He was the first person she saw. Her elder brother looked at her for a long time without even glancing away. As soon as An saw her, he happily walked over to her, held her hand, and asked with concern, "Did you sleep well?"

Chen Jing blushed and tried several times to pull out, so she had no choice but to let him hold her hand, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.

Chen Xu coughed loudly, attracting the attention of the two people, and signaled them to let go of his hands. He said in a serious voice, "Let's get down to business first."

The two smiled at each other, then let go of each other's hands to help.

Among the nearly 200 people, most of them were honest farmers. There were to people whose clothes were completely different from theirs. They were probably the supervisors here. Chen Xu tied them up individually and took them aside for questioning.

They were full of disdain, and it was obvious that they were just taking advantage of the power of others. Chen Xu didn't indulge them, he called two secret guards and said, "Since you don't want to talk, there's no point in talking, just shut it up first."

"General Chen, just sew it up or cut it off." He waved the knife in front of him. These dozens of people were bullies who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. When they saw that they were really being tough, they softened and lost their arrogant and domineering appearance. They knelt on the ground in embarrassment and kowtowed desperately to beg for their lives.

Chen Xu: "I thought you were heroes, but you are just cowards. I will be kind and do a good deed to let you be heroes for once."

"General, please spare us, General, please spare us! We will tell you everything, just ask us whatever you want."

"You are really good at observing people's words and expressions. Fine! Since you want to perform well, I will give you another chance. What's the situation on this mountain? Tell me, and I will let you go if you are right."

These dozens of people were just the lowest level minions. For the sake of their own lives, there was nothing they could not say. Everyone spoke at once and told everyone what they knew.

"This mountain belongs to the Qian family. He asked us to mine the minerals and refine them into weapons."

"Yes, we were forced to work in the mountains. General, please don't kill us. We have elderly parents and children to take care of, and they are counting on us to go back and take care of them."

Chen Xu: "Let's talk about the main point first, then talk nonsense, just like this stone." He took out the dagger given by the princess and threw it casually, breaking a fist-sized stone on the ground into several pieces. Dozens of people were trembling with fear, and a foul smell followed, which made several people retreat one after another, and some even peed on the spot.

They moved to another place to continue the interrogation. This time, all the people were honest and told him everything they knew.

"I heard that this mine was opened by the Qian family and a prince."

"I heard them all call the young prince."

"They made a lot of weapons here. The ones outside are the worst. They made the best ones before, but I don't know where they put them."

"When I went to the toilet at night, I saw a group of people sneaking into the cave. I saw them several times later, and every time they went to the cave, the best weapons were gone."

"I heard there is a secret room inside, which contains many treasures."

"They are looking for an expert inside. There is a formation set up in the cave. Anyone who goes there will definitely die."

"I heard that he, they, have raised a lot of soldiers and are going to rebel."

"When you stutter, I remember that the soldiers are just below the mountain. There are so many of them. I heard that they were all children tricked from good families."

"What do you mean by deceived children? I heard that they came from which army?"

"What nonsense! Why would people in the army come here to serve as soldiers?"

"You don't understand this, right? The young prince said that if you follow him, you can earn the merit of following the dragon."

"Isn't that a rebellion?"

"We don't know either! We just heard about it, but look at the soldiers down there, we've never seen any of them go out in the past few years. I've been overseeing this for nearly ten years, and these people down here only started coming here five years ago. You don't know, before, wild beasts were rampant around here, and people who got lost were often found dead, and some were eaten by wild beasts without leaving any bones. Since more and more people have come here, there have been fewer and fewer wild beasts around. In the past two or three years, they've said wild beasts have been around, and even rabbits and pheasants have disappeared!"

"Why is that?"

"They often go to the mountains to catch wild animals. There aren't that many people there, so they'll just disappear if they keep catching them!"

"Hahahaha, that's true. I wanted to go home, but they wouldn't let me. I'm a bachelor. Normally, I could be a grandfather, but I can't even find a wife in this remote place."

"Who has a wife? There are only men in this wilderness. I've seen two men having sex in the middle of the night many times."

“I’ve seen it too.”

“We’ve all seen it.”

"Ahahahahahahahahahaha, I've seen it before, you all must have done it."

A group of people's faces turned red when they were said. It seems that many people have done it! As everyone became more and more excited, they relaxed and pulled further and further. Chen Xu popped up a stone, and the man who spoke in the end had two of his front teeth broken. Everyone was suddenly silent, and suddenly remembered that they were the people supervised by others. They all shrank their bodies and lowered their heads to minimize their presence, but they were afraid that the next one to be beaten was themselves.

Chen Xu and the others listened for a long time, but few words were useful. At this time, all the people in the room had been taken out. The dozens of supervisors were sent back to the room. The supervisor who was usually the most arrogant was bleeding at this time, and the small supervisors dared not say a word. They all knew that they had met a tough guy, so they stayed in the room obediently, not daring to move, even though their stomachs were growling with hunger.
