After the Crown Princess was reborn, she also became very good at farming!

Chapter 133 Sword Forging (fourth update)
After the three discussed it, it was mainly Narankin who said...

Rong Xuan was already able to speak, but it was obviously not fluent, so he simply didn't want to say more.

As for Gu Bai, he is already numb! !Think of him as the commanding officer of Jinyiwei, who was ordered by the emperor to handle the case, but he seems to have become a fringe figure doing miscellaneous work...

He was extremely upset and reluctant, but as Nalan Jing said, if he wanted to gain more rights and more favor from the emperor, he needed to show the achievements he could hand over.

He is a bastard, an orphan, and he was able to climb to this position not only because of his madness, cruelty, and cold blood, but also because he has a rational and calm mind.

Rongxuan and his wife and Liu Xiang are immortal, he wants merit, and each takes what he needs.

When night fell, the three of them changed their attire and left the mansion on a horse each.

For the sake of caution, the three of them left separately, making sure that no one was following them, and reunited in Jiulong Village after half an hour.

Rong Xuan is very familiar with Shangjing, Jiulong Village is an ordinary village, he has passed by here more than once.

The three of them found a place to park their horses before entering the village in the dark.

Rong Xuan went to the end of the village, Gu Bai was at the head of the village, and Nalanjing stood guard at the entrance of the village, guarding against sudden changes, and could respond at any time.

The people in Jiulong Village are vigilant, Gu Bai and Rong Xuan's martial arts are not low, but they are not worried that they will notice.

Nalan Jing hid in the dark, estimating the time, and felt that they should come out around the same time.

The first one to come back was Gu Bai, he shook his head towards Nalan Jing, but didn't find anything.

Nalan Jing raised his brows and let out a sigh.

The two waited in place for a long time, but nothing happened to Rong Xuan.

After such a long time, there must have been a discovery.

The two of them stopped hesitating immediately, and moved towards the end of the village with flashing figures.

From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, there is a small road that avoids the cottages and can quickly walk to the back of the village.

Gu Bai and Nalan Jing went to the foot of the mountain at the end of the village, but they didn't find Rong Xuan.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Nalanjing looked around for half a circle and saw a mountain road leading to the deep mountain behind.

Nalanjing and Gu Bai looked at each other, bad, Rong Xuan seemed to have entered the mountain.

What did he see?
With Rong Xuan's martial arts, very few people can hurt him, but this Jiulong Village is different from other places, I heard that there is miasma and poisonous fog all around the mountain, Rong Xuan was not prepared to go in, which shows how dangerous it is.

If he is prepared, Nalanjing is naturally not afraid of these miasma, now...

Nalanjing and Gu Bai considered it again and again, and decided to wait for him to come out at the mountain crossing, otherwise they would go in unprepared and it would be too risky.

I don't know how long it took, the moonlight in the sky gradually dimmed, and when the dark clouds covered the moon, I saw Rong Xuan coming out of it.

Seeing that although Rong Xuan's face was solemn, but there was no sign of being poisoned, Nalanjing couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Before they had time to ask more questions, the three of them walked out of the village along the path, and when they got to the tree that tied the horse, Nalanjing asked, "What did you see?"

Rong Xuan took out what was in his hand, a handful of ore and a broken sword.

Gu Bai frowned and thought.

However, Nalan Jing took the ore and looked at the cutting sword, it was actually the same iron.

"Is there iron ore in the mountain?" Nalan Jing looked at the ore carefully, and looked at Rong Xuan in surprise.

Rong Xuan wasn't sure at first, but he didn't dare to be sure that the granular ore on the ground contained iron until he picked up the cutting sword.

Nalan looked at the sword again, it was clearly...

"Someone is forging swords in the iron mines in the mountains!" Her pupils were shocked, even if she knew that Zhao An and Su Zhi were raising private soldiers, she was not so shocked.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, weapons were cast around the mountains, which did not take the Southern Chu court into consideration at all.

It is not only the Southern Chu Kingdom, but any country that privately forges a large number of weapons is a capital offense, which is tantamount to conspiracy.

Gu Bai looked at the broken sword in Nalan Jing's hand in astonishment as well, his eyes were heavy, Liu Xiang was afraid that he had planned to plot against him a long time ago.

Rong Xuan's expression was more dignified than imagined, if Liu Xiang was only doing business in smuggling weapons, that would be fine, but what if it wasn't?

Nalanjing felt that Rong Xuan knew something, but this was not the place to talk: "Let's go back first."

It was already late at night when the three returned to Gu Bai's mansion.

In the hall, Nalanjing and Gu Bai were sitting on the grand master's chair, each holding a cup of hot tea in their hands, one was pensive with downcast eyes, while the other folded his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Footsteps sounded, and both of them looked at Rong Xuan who came in from the door.

As soon as they got here, Rong Xuan went back to get something, they didn't know what it was, they vaguely guessed that it was related to Jiulong Village,

Rong Xuan took an account book in his hand and showed them.

Gu Bai's closed eyes had already been opened, and he took the account book first. The moment he opened it, he closed it with just one glance, and threw it back to Rong Xuan.

"..."

The cold and hard lines on Rong Xuan's face were filled with imperceptible dislike.

Gu Bai didn't argue with Rong Xuan this time, and closed his eyes again, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

Nalanjing vaguely guessed what this account book was when he saw Gu Bai's expression of avoiding snakes and scorpions.

She knew that the reason why the third prince was hunted down was because she held the account book of the Jiangnan water transport illicit salt case. After the third prince died, the account book fell into Rong Xuan's hands.

There are quite a lot of officials involved. This account book is in Rong Xuan's hands. Whether Liu Xiang is in the account book or not, he will take action against Rong Xuan. Because the government affairs of the court have always affected the whole body, how could Liu Xiang watch With the loss of the henchmen he cultivated.

Nalanjing reached out and took the account book with a relaxed expression. After all, he was mentally prepared, and it turned out...

The account book that Nalan Jing was holding almost fell, and when she saw clearly that the account book clearly stated that it was 13 years ago in the Southern Chu Kingdom, when Jeju flooded, disaster relief, embankment repairs, and the huge amount, she had no shock on her face. , but frightened and angry.

God, how dare they be greedy for this kind of money, how many lives are these...

Nalan Jing looked at Rong Xuan incredulously, but the expression on his face was surprisingly calm. She thought of the dead Third Prince, and the two books in his hand were bought by him and his best friend at the price of their lives. .

In this world, there are people who are despicable and shameless and use everything to the extreme, disregarding all life and sacrificing countless people, just for the growing desire and selfishness. He fought to the end and lost his life for it.

As for Rong Xuan, San Yuan and No. Scholar Lang, the future is bright, he can obviously protect himself wisely and survive in the world, but he still sacrifices his life to help his best friend and justice.

Even today, power is at his fingertips in front of him, he only needs to give these two ledgers to that person, and what he gets is far more than what he loses.

But he didn't, he clearly knew what kind of danger he would face when he returned to Shangjing, but he never regretted it.
