The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

After breakfast, the two of them took a carriage and headed towards Yun'an County. Firefox, who was not allowed to follow them, jumped into the carriage as soon as the two of them got on.

Xiao Yibai wanted to ask Qiyun to carry it down, but the fire fox held Mu Xiyue's calf and refused to let go. Its two little eyes looked at Mu Xiyue as if to say, "I want to go."

Mu Xiyue felt that this little thing was really smart. She had brought it back home for such a long time, and it usually never came to stick to her when she went shopping or to the palace, but today it followed her closely.

"Forget it, let it follow me. I'm afraid this little thing is tired of staying in the mansion."

Firefox actually nodded a few times, which made Mu Xiyue laugh.

Xiao Yibai hugged Mu Xiyue into his arms and said to Fire Fox, "You can follow me if you want, but stay on the ground and don't jump up."

Firefox shrank into the corner, his eyes looking very innocent.

The swaying carriage was much more comfortable than riding a horse. Mu Xiyue originally wanted to go on horseback, but Xiao Yibai said that too much wind in autumn would hurt the skin. Since they were not in a hurry anyway, it didn't matter whether they went faster or slower.

Mu Xiyue leaned boredly in Xiao Yibai's arms, holding his hand and playing with his fingers.

"Husband, do you think those who secretly want to kill you will take action if we go out in such a high-profile manner?"

She was now very comfortable calling him "husband", mainly because he forced her to call him "husband" too many times at night.

Xiao Yibai's hands around her waist pinched the soft flesh on her waist gently, and it felt so good!

"I don't know. My eldest, second, and third brothers have all sent people to assassinate me before. Third brother has been imprisoned and there's no chance of him turning the tables. Second brother doesn't have any more men now, so he can't do anything wrong under my father's watch. My eldest brother is very likely to seize this opportunity to get rid of us, but my father and I have been keeping a close eye on the Chen family lately. Duke Chen can't be unaware of this, so the Chen family doesn't dare to act at this time."

Mu Xiyue said, "So Duke Chen should stop Prince Rui, right? What about Prince Qi? Prince Qi is a bit like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows. I think he might instigate Prince Rui to take action."

Xiao Yibai mentioned before that the King of Qi was not outwardly submissive to his elder brother, the King of Rui, and wanted to step on his elder brother to ascend to the throne.

Xiao Yibai lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms and said, "He is a smart man and will not make any moves for the time being. My beloved, is my husband's hand so fun to play with? Do you want to play with something else?"

Mu Xiyue threw his hand away and said with feigned disgust: "It's not fun at all, I'm just bored."

"Well, as a husband, I will accompany my beloved concubine to do something non-boring!"

A quarter of an hour later, Mu Xiyue felt satisfied when she saw Xiao Yibai's lips covered with blood. It was his fault that he almost suffocated her with his kiss. If they were not in the carriage, this man would probably turn into a wolf.

There were no accidents along the way. On the evening of the fourth day, the two entered the valley of the mine by water, saving two days compared to the previous journey over mountains and hills.

After resting for a night in the valley, the two men inspected the mining and iron smelting conditions and then headed deeper into the mountains.

According to the commander guarding the mine, there are indeed no ferocious beasts in this area of the mine, and they can only be found further over a hill.

Animals are territorial and have an instinct to avoid risks. The private soldiers have been present in the mining area for more than three years, and most animals will stay away from human activities.

The fire fox was very excited to arrive in the mountains. Mu Xiyue was really afraid that it would run away, so she asked Feng Wu to hold it all the way.

After walking for half a day, they reached the hillside where the commander had mentioned. The fire fox suddenly broke free from Feng Wu's hand and ran to the side. Mu Xiyue watched helplessly as it ran into the bushes and disappeared.

"How to do?"

Mu Xiyue looked at Xiao Yibai, she wanted to chase after him to see what was going on.

Xiao Yibai knew what she was thinking. "Let's go and look for it. We can cross that hilltop tomorrow. It might not be safe to stay there tonight."

A group of people walked towards the direction where the fire fox disappeared. After walking for a quarter of an hour, the fire fox ran back by itself, and then squeaked in the direction it had just run, looking back every three steps, as if saying, "Follow me."

Mu Xiyue was curious about what Firefox was going to take everyone to see. Could it be possible that it could hunt for treasure?

After walking for another quarter of an hour, the Fire Fox stopped. The mountain wall here was indented as if it had been cut by a knife, and it was covered with a thick layer of vines.

There is a small pool in front of the mountain wall, which looks like it was formed by water flowing down from the mountain wall.

The fire fox squeaked towards the mountain wall, jumped up, grabbed the vines and pulled hard.

Mu Xiyue didn't know why the fire fox was pulling at the vines. Thinking that this little thing was very smart, she swung a few wind blades at it, cutting off a large piece of the vines. The fire fox was startled and squeaked back to squat at Mu Xiyue's feet.

The vines fell, and a hole appeared on the mountain wall that was only wide enough for one person to enter.

Mu Xiyue and Xiao Yibai looked at each other and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Mu Xiyue had a hunch that there must be something in this cave, otherwise Firefox wouldn't have been so excited to bring them here.

Xiao Yibai grabbed Mu Xiyue and said, "Yueyue, let Feng Wu go in first to explore the way."

As he said that, he took out the flashlight he was carrying, turned on the switch and handed it to Feng Wu.

It was the first time Feng Wu saw a flashlight. Although he was very curious, he didn't dare to delay and walked into the cave.

Not long after, Feng Wu came out of the cave.

"Master, Princess, the cave is very big and deep. It looks like it goes downwards."

The fire fox kept chirping beside her feet. Mu Xiyue said, "Let's go in and take a look. Maybe there are some treasures there."

Xiao Yibai ordered the eight secret guards behind him to guard the cave entrance, "Let's go in."

With Feng Wu leading the charge and Feng Liu pressing in from behind, Mu Xiyue pulled out three flashlights from her space and gave one to each person. She had two large boxes of these smaller flashlights, each slightly larger than a thumb, which she had collected from the department store at the beginning of the apocalypse. Because they were solar-powered, they hadn't been missing a few even after five years of the apocalypse.

The cave did extend downwards, and Xiao Yibai stopped after the four of them had walked a short distance.

He shone his flashlight on the cave wall and looked carefully. "Yueyue, take a look and see if you recognize it."

Some rocks on the cave wall are white with yellow particles, and in some places the yellow particles are slightly larger.

This yellow color had a golden hue to it, and a thought flashed through Mu Xiyue's mind, "Could this be a gold mine?"

Xiao Yibai smiled and said, "It looks like it. The content of this kind of mineral here is not high. Let's go down a little further."

After walking down for about five minutes, golden spots could be clearly seen on the cave wall.

Mu Xiyue pointed at the yellow and white cave wall and asked Xiao Yibai, "Is this gold content considered high? You can clearly see the gold grains."

"Well, it should be considered high! I didn't expect there is a gold mine here. We only have three gold mines in Tianqi Country. I've been to the gold mine in Lingnan. Judging from the appearance of this ore, the gold content there is not as high as this."

The four of them walked down a distance, and the entrance to the cave became extremely small, making it impossible for people to pass through.

After exploring enough, they turned back and left the cave.

After returning to the cave, Xiao Yibai saw that it was already 3 p.m., so he ordered the secret guards to go hunting and collect firewood.

Although the entrance of this cave is small, the space inside is not small. Xiao Yibai plans to spend the night in this cave.

What happened here needs to be reported to the emperor. Mu Xiyue has paper and pen in her space, but it's a fountain pen, not a brush.

Although the way of holding the fountain pen was different, Xiao Yibai adapted to it quickly and his handwriting was quite beautiful. He wrote a secret letter about the gold mine here.
