Mu Nanfeng shouted, "Wait, what about the other thing I asked you to investigate?"

Hong Shan immediately replied, "I found out. It was County Magistrate Guo's daughter, Guo Yulan, who sang at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Mu Nanfeng smiled. "Well, when we get close to Huaiyuan County, you secretly take people to that barren mountain. Make sure no one discovers the mine there."

"Yes, I understand."

Hong Shan retreated respectfully, and Mu Nanfeng ate as if nothing had happened.

The next night, Hong Shan followed Mu Nanfeng's instructions and led a team of people to quietly head to the barren mountain along a small path.

They sneaked around cautiously, fearing to attract other people's attention.

But Mu Han still noticed it. He was curious about what Mu Nanfeng was going to do by sending someone away secretly.

He was looking at Mu Nanfeng's figure not far away and wondering what it was when he turned around and was startled.

Jiang Lingchuan, wearing the clothes of the Imperial Hospital, came to Mu Han, and Mu Han hurriedly pulled him into the tent.

I looked around outside and when I saw no one paying attention, I set up the tent and asked, "Why are you back so late? How was the exploration?"

Jiang Lingchuan said, "Do you know why Prince Shu insisted on going to Huaiyuan County?"

Mu Han said with a cold face, "Is this the time to keep it a secret? Tell me now."

Jiang Lingchuan curled his lips. "It's similar to what I found out before. This Mu Nanfeng has an illegal mine in Huaiyuan County. Most importantly, do you know who he is working with?"

Mu Han rolled his eyes at him, and Jiang Lingchuan continued, "It's Gu Wenjie, the second prince of Beihan. To conceal their tracks, they sent all their people from Beihan. So, not only does Gu Wenjie have to provide his men, he also has to pay the lion's share of the proceeds from the excavated ore to Mu Nanfeng."

Mu Han said, "Illegal mining of iron ore? He is hiding deeper than we see on the surface. If it weren't for this earth dragon turning over, he would have started a rebellion and we wouldn't even know about it."

Jiang Lingchuan said, "Yes! This Prince Shu is better at dealing with people than you. He has the support of the people and prestige, as well as the best weapons and men. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Great Yu Kingdom will be his."

Mu Han sneered, "He is more suitable for that position than me. I just want to live a good life and I can't even do it."

Jiang Lingchuan comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, you still have me, and the opportunity has come, right? God is on your side, and a natural disaster will reveal his story."

Mu Han said, "So what? What else can we do besides watching?"

Jiang Lingchuan said, "I know everything. How could Empress Pei not know? Can she help Mu Nanfeng become stronger?"

There was a hint of hope in Mu Han's eyes. "With their strength, it's still unknown who will be better."

Jiang Lingchuan patted Mu Han's shoulder and said, "So! We don't have to do anything, but we can't do nothing."

Mu Han smiled and said, "What's your logic?"

Jiang Lingchuan smiled and said, "Just take care of your body, and leave the rest to me."

After the two finished chatting, Jiang Lingchuan secretly left and left the team when no one was paying attention.

After arriving at the mine, Hongshan ordered the excavation of surface ore to begin.

I don’t know who dug up the person. The person was buried there during the earthquake, and after so many days, he has rotted beyond recognition.

He was so scared that he took a few steps back. When Hong Shan was about to curse, the ground suddenly started shaking again.

Another pile of mud collapsed from the mountain, scaring them so much that they fled in all directions.

Hong Shan had no choice but to go back and report to Mu Nanfeng. Before he and his men had gone far, a masked man appeared.

Hong Shan cautiously drew his knife. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The masked man sneered, "I should be the one asking you this. Why are you here?"

Hong Shan felt that the visitor had ill intentions, and immediately ordered his entourage to kill him together.

The masked man fought and ran, and the people on Hongshan's side fell one by one. Finally, Hongshan was kicked out by him.

It flew from a small slope to the small road below, startling Mu Nanfeng's carriage and causing it to neigh a few times. Fortunately, the driver was experienced and prevented the horse from running around.

Mu Nanfeng lifted the curtain, and the people behind him stopped and looked out to see what was going on.

Hong Shan got up from the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Mu Nanfeng got out of the car and asked, "What happened?"

The accompanying guards drew their swords and stood guard in all directions, protecting Mu Han in the middle.

Hong Shan looked up and saw the masked man flying onto the roof of Mu Nanfeng's car.

Without saying anything, Mu Nanfeng ordered, "Come here, there is an assassin, protect the prince and capture the assassin."

Pei Lan also drew his sword and said, "Quick, protect the prince."

The masked man and the guard started fighting. The man in black who was following in the dark on the other side saw them fighting and rushed out with his men.

The target was Mu Nanfeng, and the scene was so chaotic that it was hard to tell who sent whom.

Pei Lan thought that the man in black was sent by Mu Nanfeng to kill Mu Han, and Mu Han thought that the masked man was sent by Jiang Lingchuan to cause trouble.

Mu Nanfeng thought that they were all sent by Queen Pei, and several groups of people fought each other in chaos.

The imperial physicians who followed him hid away in fear. Mu Han later secretly learned martial arts.

Because he learned it secretly, he didn't dare to reveal it in front of so many people. He was also afraid that Queen Pei and Mu Nanfeng would know that he was secretly changing.

He had no choice but to let Pei Lan drag him along. Just when he saw the men in black heading towards Mu Nanfeng, suddenly another group of men in black headed towards Pei Lan and the others.

The people who rushed towards Pei Lan were from Jiang Lingchuan faction. They wanted to rescue Mu Han from Pei Lan, but Pei Lan thought they were people sent by Mu Nanfeng to kill Mu Han.

After several fights, everyone scattered. The masked man saw so many men in black and felt that they did not seem to be from the same group.

She took the opportunity to sneak away and pulled down her veil after leaving the chaotic battlefield.

He is Gu Wenzhi, who held He Yue hostage and was rescued by He Yue not long ago.

He originally wanted to go to the barren mountains to see if he could find any useful clues, but he didn't expect to meet Hong Shan and the others.

He originally didn't know who was working with Gu Wenjie, and just saw that there seemed to be something unusual between Hong Shan and Mu Nanfeng.

He took the opportunity to disrupt them, and when he heard someone talking about protecting the prince, he knew that the person who was cooperating with Gu Wenjie was Prince Shu Mu Nanfeng.

Gu Wenzhi left with a smile and soon disappeared into the woods.

Mu Nanfeng desperately hacked at the men in black who wanted to kill him, and one of the men in black aimed an arrow at Mu Nanfeng.

A sharp arrow flew towards Mu Nanfeng quickly. Mu Nanfeng raised his hand and slashed with his sword, changing the direction of the arrow.

Flying straight towards Mu Han on the other side, Mu Nanfeng blocked the arrow, spun around, and shot out the sword in his hand to kill the archer.

He could have dodged the arrow flying towards Mu Han, but in order not to expose himself, he took it.

The pain in his body and the inertia brought by the flying arrow made him lose his balance. He took a few steps back and stepped into empty air.

Mu Han fell out from the small branch, and outside the branch was a steep cliff.

Pei Lan saw Mu Han falling and nervously shouted, "Your Highness..."

After dealing with the man in black, Mu Nanfeng also ran over. Seeing this, the man in black who was fighting with Pei Lan ran away quickly.
