Chapter 111 Gold Mine
In order to save time, Chu Ci asked "Xing'er" to capture the actions of the captured person at all times, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't tell the truth.
Time is life, Chu Ci was too lazy to explain the reason. He said directly: "Don't listen to him, he should be trying to delay time. Continue forward in the direction he came from."
In fact, the Fifth Prince and Fan Jingrui also noticed that something was wrong, but things happened too suddenly and too frequently that they were unable to react for a while!
Now that Chu Ci has pointed it out so clearly, what else is there for them to not understand?
However, before the Fifth Prince could give the order, with a sharp whistle, the white tiger, which was covered in blood and had multiple injuries, actually pounced towards them.
"Quick, stop it!" Chu Ci heard the voice not far away, looked at the white tiger getting closer and closer, and shouted: "This beast is actually saving people, it seems that we can't get through if we don't get rid of it."
As he said this, he raised his hand and shot an arrow at the white tiger's eyes, but it was dodged.
You know, with "Xing'er" around, Chu Ci almost never failed, but this time he fell into a tiger.
Fortunately, as soon as Chu Ci moved, Fan Jingrui and the secret guards around the fifth prince also moved.
No matter how brave Baihu was, he was still stabbed by Fan Jingrui in a round-robin battle.
Chu Ci instantly remembered the method the two had used to deal with the wild boar, and raised his sword to stab towards the same position.
Others followed suit, and soon the white tiger staggered due to excessive blood loss. Chu Ci was overjoyed when he saw this and shouted, "Hold your breath!"
He threw the drugs in his hand away.
The white tiger's movements had become much slower due to excessive blood loss. Seeing this, Chu Ci threw the drug directly on the tiger's head.
Under the combined effects of blood loss and drugs, the white tiger finally couldn't hold on any longer. Even so, it still forced itself to take several steps forward before collapsing to the ground.
Seeing this, the soldiers around rushed forward to finish off Baihu, and finally stopped only when Baihu was motionless.
Without the interference of the white tiger, and with the help of Niu Niu's father who had been rescued by Chu Ci, oh no, to be precise, Ding Yong leading the way, they soon found the entrance to the gold mine.
But they were still a step too late, as someone had deliberately sprinkled poison at the entrance.
The Fifth Prince knew that Chu Ci had studied medicine under the divine doctor Tong Hua, so Chu Ci became a good cousin to the Fifth Prince: "Cousin, do you have any solution or antidote?"
Speechless words are no longer able to express Chu Ci's feelings at the moment.
She reluctantly took out a small exquisite porcelain bottle from her bag and said, "Use it sparingly, Divine Doctor Hua didn't give much."
In fact, Chu Ci, oh no, it should be said that the fifth prince was lucky. Because of the busy transfer, more than half of the gold and houses in the mine were still left.
Although there is no account book, the harvest is still considerable.
However, the fifth prince was not satisfied with this.
Because the entire mine had been searched thoroughly, and the Purple-Robed Envoy and his group of more than 20 people did not see a single person.
"Could it be that Zi Yi's disappearance was not caused by these people?" Chu Ci thought, could it be that they had misunderstood and made a big mistake?
Thinking of this, Chu Ci still felt a little guilty.
But soon Fan Jingrui's words dispelled Chu Ci's guilty conscience, "It is also possible that he was caught and then escaped."
The Fifth Prince was also convinced by Fan Jingrui's statement. "Expand the search area."
The situation of the Purple-Robed Envoy and his group was exactly as Fan Jingrui had guessed. They were indeed tricked by others at the beginning and only escaped halfway. However, due to their unfamiliarity with the terrain, they mistakenly entered the underground river under the mine in a panic.
They followed the underground river further and further, and what did they discover?
It turned out to be a gold mine that was larger than the previously excavated mine, and the key point was that it had not been developed yet.
The purple-robed envoy felt as if he had been hit by a pie in the sky. His first reaction was: "Quick, send a message to the emperor."
The subordinate was speechless, "Sir, we are still trapped in the underground river!"
The purple-robed envoy held his breath and said: "Keep going forward. I don't believe that we can't get out!"
However, just as the Purple-Robed Envoy had calmed down and stood up, he heard Jin Ming say, "Wait, sir. Listen to see if there is anyone above us."
Hearing this, everyone listened attentively.
At the same time, Chu Ci also stopped. There was no way, "Xing'er" scanned the presence of the Purple Robe Envoy. "Husband, I seem to hear the sound of a river. Do you think there is an underground river in the mine? Did the Purple Robe Envoy hide there?"
Fan Jingrui knew his wife well and would not lie at this time. He looked at the fifth prince and they both said in unison: "Dig, dig down!"
Although it is called an underground river, the ground is really thin and it was dug through in just over ten minutes.
The place chosen by Chu Ci happened to be above the head of the Purple-Robed Envoy.
Thus, the dignified Purple-Robed Envoy was turned directly into a clay figure.
Even so, the Purple Envoy was more concerned about: "Fifth Prince? How did you know we were here?"
"My cousin said she seemed to hear the sound of a river." The Fifth Prince did not hide anything. Upon hearing this, Chu Ci almost rushed up and bit the Fifth Prince.
This person is so quick to cross the river and then destroy the bridge.
But I couldn't deny it, with so many people watching. I could only force out a fake smile: "I thought it was hallucination. It's rare that the Fifth Prince is willing to play with me."
The Fifth Prince: "That's because my cousin has good hearing."
Chu Ci and the fifth prince kept praising each other in this awkward manner for a long time.
Finally, the purple-robed envoy couldn't help but said, "Fifth Prince, the matter here needs to be reported to the Emperor as soon as possible."
The Fifth Prince was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that the Purple-Robed Envoy not only knew the secret of the gold mine, but also knew other more important things, so he no longer bothered to praise Chu Ci.
However, the Fifth Prince only thought that the Purple-Robed Envoy was looking for physical evidence such as account books, but he did not expect that they had found a larger gold mine than the one they had mined before.
"Could it be that Chu Ci's fate is really extraordinary?" the fifth prince murmured.
Previously, the Purple-Robed Envoy used the Chu Ci couple to catch all the problematic officials in Lianzhou. He thought it was just a coincidence, but with so many coincidences, it must be more than just a coincidence, right?
Suddenly, a secret thought came to the Fifth Prince's mind: if Chu Ci tried his best to help his brother, the Crown Prince...
But it was only for a moment. Thinking of Chu Ci's rejection of him, he felt discouraged again.
But once you have that thought, you can't let it go easily.
Chu Ci also noticed that the Fifth Prince's attitude towards him had changed a lot since the trip to Shenjia Village.
However, Chu Ci misunderstood. He thought that his demands were too many and the emperor did not agree, and that the Fifth Prince had made such a boast but was too embarrassed to convey it!
