Zhao Tianji agreed to let Ye Zhen pick herbs, but he insisted that Liang Yin follow her. ♀
The next day, at dawn, the mountain breeze was gentle and cool. Ye Zhen carried the small bamboo house and went up the mountain. Liang Yin followed her with a blank expression, seemingly very reluctant.
Ye Zhen was too lazy to care about his reluctance. Anyway, her focus was not to pick herbs. She just wanted to go up the mountain to have a look. Maybe she could see the iron mine from there. "The mountain over there is higher. Let's go there."
"There are mountains everywhere. What kind of herbs do you want that you need to go so far to find?" Liang Yin asked with a frown.
"Didn't you look here yesterday? Can you find it? " Ye Zhen asked without looking back. The herbs she wanted were actually very common, but there were too many similar ones, so Liang Yin picked the wrong one every time.
Liang Yin had nothing to say, so he followed Ye Zhen to the highest mountain.
By the time they reached the mountain, the sun had already risen. Ye Zhen stood on the mountain and looked down. Sure enough, she saw a group of miners not far away.
"Your master is indeed bold. With just one sentence, he made those people not dare to cause trouble again." Ye Zhen pretended to look for herbs, but her eyes kept looking down the mountain. She wanted to find the familiar figure, but the distance was too far. She could not tell which one was him except for the figure moving back and forth.
Liang Yin seemed to be very satisfied to hear Ye Zhen praise his master. He smiled and said, "Our island master is naturally powerful. ()”
"Why is your island master not his brother, but Zhao Tianji?" Ye Zhen asked curiously.
"The eldest young master has been weak since childhood and can't deal with the many chores on the island. Moreover, our second young master is the legitimate descendant of the Zhao family. The eldest young master is not." Liang Yin said.
Ye Zhen nodded. "The relationship between the two brothers should be good."
Liang Yin said, "That's natural. The eldest young master loves the second young master very much."
"If you really love your second young master, why let Zhao Tianji go to the Central Plains to open a private mine? Don't you know that it is very dangerous? He has been hiding behind it all the time. " Ye Zhen said with a smile. Why did she feel that Zhao Mingxiao did not seem to be very good to Zhao Tianji?
She felt that Zhao Tianji was being used.
As the two of them were talking, a series of screams suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.
Liang Yin turned around and his face turned ashen. "Why are there soldiers here?"
Ye Rou's eyes widened as she looked at the hundreds of soldiers who had appeared at the foot of the mountain. Judging from their clothes, they didn't seem to be ordinary soldiers. "Those are soldiers from the barracks, not the government's soldiers."
"Who brought these people?" Liang Yin looked sharply at Ye Zhen.
"Why are you looking at me? I was blindfolded and brought here. Except for the past few days, I haven't even stepped out of the villa's door. "Ye Zhen said angrily.
Liang Yin saw that the soldiers had already surrounded the iron mine. Their people had also been captured and killed. One of them was dressed like a general and was talking to two men dressed in coarse clothes. Looking at the general's attitude, he seemed to be very respectful.
"I'll go back and tell the Island Lord!" Liang Yin felt that the man standing below with his hands behind his back was not so simple. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could feel his majestic momentum just by looking at his back.
Ye Zhen stood motionless at the top of the mountain. Now she could recognize him, but he had his back to her and didn't see her standing there at all.
"Come, come back with me!" Liang Yin was afraid that Ye Zhen would run away, so he grabbed her hand and walked back.
"You can't walk fast with me. Can I run away? My master and two servants are still in the villa. Go back and tell Zhao Tianji that if those people find the villa, he will be in danger. "Ye Zhen was dragged down the mountain and almost fell.
Liang Yin looked back at her deeply and felt that what she said seemed reasonable. "Well, but even if you run away, our Island Lord can still catch you."
"Let's talk about it again if he can escape the pursuit of these soldiers." Ye Zhen said, thinking that Mo Rongzhan was just as Huang Fuchen said. He not only found the iron mine but also brought the soldiers with him. I'm afraid that after today, this private mine will become the official mine of the royal family.
Liang Yin was burning with anxiety. He was really worried about Zhao Tianji's safety, so he ignored Ye Zhen and quickly used his Qing Gong to descend the mountain.
Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the foot of the mountain.
The man who had just been talking to General Meng looked up at her. Although Ye Zhen couldn't see clearly, she could feel that he was already running towards her at full speed almost at the same time he looked at her.
This was the first time she had seen Mo Rongzhan's martial arts. His Qing Gong was so powerful that in less than half a cup of tea's time, he had already reached the top of the mountain. His breathing was not chaotic at all, but his eyes were so hot that Ye Zhen almost dared not look at him.
The disguise on Mo Rongzhan's face had been washed clean, and there was no trace of expression on his handsome face. If it weren't for his deep dark eyes that were too hot, Ye Zhen would have suspected that he didn't want to see her at all.
"Your Majesty!" Ye Zhen felt that he looked a little scary and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Where is Huang Fuchen?" Mo Rongzhan stopped, and the heat in his eyes gradually subsided. His voice was low and hoarse, and he seemed to be very tired.
Ye Zhen listened to his indifferent voice, and her heart was inexplicably blocked. "There are two servants in the villa over there."
"I will take you down the mountain first." Mo Rongzhan said coldly, completely different from the rogue who always liked to hug her before.
"Yes." Ye Zhen wanted to ask him how he found this place and when the soldiers came, but looking at his cold and indifferent profile, she couldn't ask a word.
Mo Rongzhan strode down the mountain. Although he had deliberately slowed down to wait for her, he soon left Ye Zhen behind by a large distance.
He paused, waiting for her without turning his head, and when she had stumbled to his side, he went on.
Ye Zhen looked at his strong and broad back, and her heart suddenly surged with anger and grievance. What did he mean? Was he angry with her? Or did he want her to beg him for something?
She pursed her lips. She didn't want to be caught here, so why was he angry with her?
"I will have someone send you back to the capital first." Mo Rongzhan said coldly in front of her.
"I'm not going back to the capital. I have to go to Huaijiang with Master." Ye Zhen replied to him in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan stopped and looked back at her coldly, his chest rising and falling. "Why do you still want to go to Huaijiang?"
"I wanted to go to Huaijiang anyway," Ye Zhen said. "Anyway, I'm not going back to the capital."
