Huangxiu

Chapter 418 Questioning
Chu Zhiyuan has been hiding in the dark, watching how Ding Shaoqiang will act.

Seeing that Ding Shaoqiang was determined to take over the mine in one go, he couldn't help but sigh.

Ding Shaoqiang's move was too hasty. He went all out, closing the mine first and then arresting the people.

Little do they know that this will only alert the enemy and in the end nothing will be caught.

This is a style of behavior that is completely different from his own, and it is the simple and rough style of the military.

Acting in such a simple and crude manner will probably lead to endless troubles, and the affairs of the mine will be difficult to sort out.

Anyone who dares to privately mine iron ore is definitely not an ordinary person, and he must have made all kinds of strict preparations.

The cicada sheds its shell again and again, making it difficult to catch.

If you push it all the way in like this, it's almost certain that he'll escape.

This is tantamount to just sealing off the iron mine and letting bygones be bygones.

This move will indeed not cause any waves, and the officialdom will be calm.

Chu Zhiyuan could only sigh that Ding Shaoqiang was also a veteran and should not be underestimated.

It not only solved the problems of Feiniaoying and the iron mine, but also met the standards they had set.

As for tracking down the person behind the illegal mining of iron ore, that is the business of other departments of the court and there is no need for Jihai Town to intervene.

Wanghai City

Tianshui Pavilion

Chu Zhiyuan and Meng Canglan sat in a room, looking at the ships on the sea from afar.

Small boats and large ships are sailing on the sea, scattered all over the place.

Meng Canglan was wearing a turquoise silk shirt, which matched her beauty as gentle as water and was a delight to the eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan said calmly: "Miss Meng, your sect is not completely unaware of the Yanxing Mountain Iron Mine, right?"

Meng Canglan gently put down the tea, his bright eyes flickered, and he looked at him steadily: "Sir, this matter involves too many things, it is best not to get involved."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "So, your sect is not involved in this?"

"No matter how foolish our sect is, we will not get involved in such matters."

“Your sect is not confused, but sometimes it is inevitable that some disciples will act recklessly for the sake of achievements, and the greed will blind their minds.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

"…Senior Brother Huang did have this idea at first, but it was refuted by the elders in the sect."

“Who is the owner of this iron mine?”

"Your Highness really want to get involved?" Meng Canglan pleaded, "Forget it."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "At this point, can I still stay out of this?"

If we come to the East Territory only to destroy the Daliusing Camp, it would be a wasted trip.

This was definitely not the emperor's intention.

Regardless of how to deal with the iron mine in Yanxing Mountain, at least the person behind it must be found out.

Don't let the emperor ask you something and you won't know the answer to anything, otherwise you will become a fool.

“There’s more than one in there.”

Meng Canglan really didn't want to say it.

Once this matter is exposed, the Eastern Territory will be thrown into chaos.

Once the imperial court strengthens its control over the eastern border, the Wuyou Sect will have less room to maneuver, which will damage the interests of the Wuyou Sect.

"Is there a Duke's Mansion?"

"..."

"A mansion of a baron or a marquis?"

"..."

"Where's the city guard?"

"Where is the General's Mansion?"

"Prince..." Meng Canglan said angrily.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, what about the matter of the Feiniao Camp? Dalie is so brave."

He already had a rough idea.

There is no Duke's Mansion, but there is an Earl's Mansion or a Marquis's Mansion, as well as a City Guard's Mansion and even a General's Mansion.

This frightened him.

……

"Da Lie is very brave, they will definitely take revenge." Meng Canglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Prince, you should also be careful and safe."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Da Lie had already used the Netherworld Secret Guards to deal with him, so naturally he dared to assassinate him. He continued, "The incident in the Dalui Camp was not instigated by your sect, right?"

Meng Canglan said hurriedly: "There are indeed disciples of our sect in the camp, but it is indeed none of our sect's business. It is the evil sect monster who is instigating it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing.

Meng Canglan said: "The disciples of our sect should have reacted in time to stop it, but unfortunately, the opportunity was missed."

Chu Zhiyuan said calmly: "To fish in troubled waters, you can gain the greatest benefit in chaos, right?"

He only half believed what Meng Canglan said.

With the power of Wuyou Sect in the East Territory, it would not be difficult to control Daliusing.

The reason why the Daliu Camp lost control and rebelled was that even if there was no direct instigation, the government must have let it go, turned a deaf ear and dumb, and then went with the flow.

You can shirk responsibility and still gain benefits from it.

Meng Canglan hurriedly said, "My Lord, the disciples in the Dalui Camp are considered the lowest in the sect. They are not doing well and are not smart enough, which is why they are like this."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If the Dalui Camp rebels and Jihai Town is in chaos, it will be invaded by Dalie. How will Wuyou Sect respond then?"

"This..." Meng Canglan said: "We can only fight hard to kill the enemy."

“There are disciples of the Wuyou Sect lurking among the elite of Da Lie, right?” Chu Zhiyuan said, “They can communicate with each other and help each other achieve meritorious service.”

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly laughed: "This is the best way to get the best of both worlds."

"Young Master!" Meng Canglan's face changed drastically.

This is truly heart-piercing words.

Meng Canglan's beautiful face sank, and she said unhappily, "My Lord, please be careful with your words.... It is really chilling to speculate about our sect like this."

"I'm afraid my speculation is too light," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Your sect manipulates current affairs like chess pieces and treats the people like grass. This is chilling."

Meng Canglan sighed: "My Lord, you really misunderstood. This is not the case at all."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Let's quell the rebellion in Daliaoying first."

"What is the prince going to do?" Meng Canglan asked.

She sighed inwardly.

This was to force Wuyou to lend a helping hand to the Phoenix Camp and quickly wipe out the Dalius Camp.

Today, Daliuming is hidden in deep mountains and forests, and even martial arts masters cannot do anything about it.

These mountains in the East Territory are not just one mountain, nor are they ten or eight mountains, but an endless mountain range.

When the snow starts to fall, all the paths are blocked and there is no sign of life. How can we find someone?

It would be useless even if a grandmaster was dispatched.

This mountain is too deep and too far away, beyond the Grand Master's sensing range.

Even for a genius like the prince, it would be extremely difficult to find the Dalui Camp.

No matter how powerful the Phoenix Camp is, it cannot use its strength if it cannot find the Dayu Camp.

So they could only force Wuyou to teach.

I had said at the beginning that I would take the initiative to help Chu Zhiyuan in order to clear myself of suspicion.

But the elders were against it, and the situation had come to the point where they were forced to help.

These elders still underestimate the prince.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Where is the Dalui Camp now?"

Meng Canglan said softly: "Da Liuying is located in the mountains one hundred miles south of Yanxing Mountain."

"They are indeed near Yanxing Mountain," Chu Zhiyuan said, "Be more precise."

He then said, "It seems that there are also experts in the Daliao Camp. They want to use Yanxing Mountain to divert the attention of the imperial court, right?"

Meng Canglan said helplessly: "It may be an accident. There is an Eagle's Beak Cliff a hundred miles to the south. They should be there."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "They will keep changing places, right?"

Meng Canglan said: "We have changed locations three times. This time we have just arrived at Eagle's Beak Cliff."

As she spoke, she took out a map from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency is very smart and knows what I want."

There are still some experts in the Wuyou Sect, and some of them may specialize in analyzing their own style of doing things.

He had expected that he would be forced to tell the location of Daliusing from the Wuyou Sect, so he was prepared.

This is also an invisible demonstration to remind him to be careful and not go too far.

Chu Zhiyuan took it and glanced at it, looking thoughtfully in the direction marked on the map.

But it is one of the four dangerous places.
