The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2582 - 66: Entering the Mountains

"That’s right!" Ye Rongqing eagerly said, "The sooner we investigate, the sooner we can resolve this, and the sooner you and sister-in-law can get married, isn’t it?"

Ye Haoxuan glanced at him, "If you’re so eager to go, then accompany me to the mountain the day after tomorrow."

"Big brother is going up the mountain too?"

"Hmm!"

"Really?" Ye Rongqing jumped up, "Big brother, don’t you trust me? I won’t ruin your plans. Such a small matter doesn’t require you to go in person."

"Why so much nonsense?" Ye Haoxuan knocked on his head, "I’m going to dig a pit."

"Huh?"

He didn’t understand, and Ye Haoxuan didn’t explain further.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day after tomorrow. Tu Niu received instructions and went to the government office early, reporting without avoiding people.

Soon, everyone in the yamen knew that White Stripe Mountain was a mountain with a gold mine.

And this news quickly reached Situ Er.

"See, wasn’t I right?" Miss Bai appeared again, holding a black cat.

"So what?"

"Hehe, not much, anyway, there’s plenty of time for that." Miss Bai smiled and asked, "I heard Lord Prefect is taking people to White Stripe Mountain tomorrow. Are you going too?"

This time Situ Er didn’t hide anything and said, "I had someone send an invitation to the Prefect of Yun’an Prefecture."

Of course, he had to go for something like this.

Once he personally confirmed it, he could formally report it. The letter he sent back only mentioned it briefly. He told his father he would submit it formally once he confirmed it.

"I’ll go with you."

"You?"

"Yes!" Miss Bai nodded, "I also have a messenger bird, and there’s nothing better at finding the way in the mountains than it."

As she spoke, she took out a short flute and played a few notes. A bird came in, but its feathers weren’t as pure as Xiaobai’s, with many black spots mixed in with the white.

Seeing this, Situ Er nodded.

That night, Ye Haoxuan’s group left the city, and after Si and the others dealt with the spies behind them, they followed to meet up.

Soon, the group stopped at the foot of White Stripe Mountain.

"How many paths are there to enter?"

"Two," Tu Niu said, "One is a main road that everyone knows, and the other is a path that only I know."

"Take us along the path."

As they climbed from the foot of the mountain, though it was night, the group didn’t light any torches, and Ye Haoxuan tightly held onto Li Luru.

Li Luru wanted to break free, but Ye Haoxuan whispered in her ear, "Don’t move around, stay close to me, or if you get lost, you won’t be able to call for help."

"..." Li Luru stopped struggling but pinched Ye Haoxuan’s arm.

Ye Haoxuan thought, you go ahead and pinch, I’ll deal with you later.

"Is the warehouse far from where you live?"

"Not far, and it’s guarded. But don’t worry, they all listen to me."

Ye Haoxuan wasn’t convinced. When the tiger is away, who knows if someone will have rebellious thoughts during these days Tu Niu isn’t around?

In the darkness, Ye Haoxuan signaled to the others, and soon San and others melted into the shadows, all unbeknownst to Tu Niu.

"How much longer until we get there?"

"Cross the monument and walk a bit more, and we’ll be there," Tu Niu hurriedly said.

"Good, you’d better not have any thoughts, or I’ll slit your throat right now." Ye Haoyang, the brother, also came along, and at this moment, Ye Rongqing was holding a knife and following close behind Tu Niu.

"I wouldn’t dare!"
