My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 220 Guess
Xin Nian didn't say anything and just let her father make the arrangements.

Actually, her father was right to be cautious and careful; he should take precautions in everything he does.

The group filed through the iron gate, and what came into view was a large open space.

Many weapons were not yet packed in boxes, and were scattered haphazardly in various places.

There were many boxes piled up all around, and along the cave wall was a row of stone platforms with many semi-finished products on them.

Judging from the situation, the processing plant was closed down in a very hurry, and many design drawings on the stone platform were not taken away in time.

"It must have been during the earthquake that the mountains were affected. The people at the processing plant had to evacuate first. Why didn't they come back to collect their goods? I'm afraid that King Yu did something," Xin Wenyuan analyzed.

"King Yu originally wanted to take over this processing plant for himself, but now, in order to save his life, he has no choice but to reveal the location."

"What do you think?" Xin Nian's sudden question made Xin Wenyuan, who was engrossed in his analysis, pause.

Everyone's eyes turned to Yan Xi.

It was obvious that the little girl was talking to him.

Yan Xi was taken aback for a moment, then answered honestly, "What the commander said makes a lot of sense."

"Don't you have anything to add?"

Lingluo secretly tugged at Yan Xi's sleeve.

The latter spoke calmly, "Since His Highness Prince Yu has been playing dumb and secretly keeping an eye on Prince Jin, he should know that Prince Jin has more than just this one mine and processing plant."

The little girl nodded in satisfaction. "You're right. Now, use your clever brain to think about why he would leave us so many useful design drawings?"

Yan Xi glanced at the little girl furtively. "He...did it on purpose. He wants you to keep the blueprints and continue building weapons. He wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"

Xin Nian reached out and picked up several blueprints from the stone platform, clicking her tongue twice, "These are blueprints for the Thunderclap Cannon and Heaven-Shaking Thunder."

Then he picked up two more cards, saying, "There's also a flamethrower and a gliding weapon. Impressive, impressive."

“These finished and semi-finished products already appear to have a certain degree of lethality.” Xin Nian suddenly picked up a semi-finished flamethrower, turned around abruptly, and aimed it at Yan Xi.

Ling Luo was startled and hurriedly raised her hands, "You, you, what, what?"

“I didn’t expect that His Highness Prince Jin is such a firearms enthusiast.” Xin Nian’s eyes held a smile. “You’ve been by Prince Jin’s side for many years, so you must know quite a few secrets.”

"I... I've told you everything we know."

"Besides, we're just doing things for His Highness Prince Jin. We're not that familiar with him, and we didn't know he was secretly building such a large mining and processing plant."

"Is that so?" Xin Nian noncommittally withdrew the flamethrower.

"Everyone, count the boxes around here, record the number, and report it to me."

The people of Longhu Village scattered in all directions and hurriedly went around to check the boxes and cabinets.

Zhao Xun brought paper and pen, wrote down all the numbers, and handed them to Xin Nian.

"Pick whatever you like, choose a weapon you like for self-defense, and pick a couple for the guys outside too. Once you've picked them all, pile them up together, and we'll distribute them to you when we get out."

Zhao Xun and the others were overjoyed and rummaged through their chests and cabinets to find the right swords and weapons.

Xin Nian took all the finished and semi-finished products, design drawings, and even the stone platforms themselves and put them in the farm warehouse for the time being. She would move them there when the armory opened later.

The group from Longhu Village celebrated like it was New Year's Day, excitedly selecting their brothers' weapons and enthusiastically packing away the miscellaneous weapons that had been piled up in the middle into boxes and cabinets.

After Xin Nian put away the pile of weapons they had selected, she then cleaned up all the chests and cabinets around her.

The little girl stuffed the half-finished flamethrower into her bosom, turned to her father and smiled, saying, "Come on, Jiaojiao told me she found lots of shiny things."

As the group emerged from the passage and turned left, they encountered several more corpses along the way. The passage also contained numerous stones of varying sizes, likely fragments that fell from the cave ceiling during the earthquake, killing many people.

The body had been swept to the side of the passage like trash by Xiao Teng, and it did not affect passage.

The crowd lined up and went one by one, and soon they saw two forks in the road.

"Girl, which fork in the road did Jiaojiao take?"

As they were talking, the cave wall rustled, and a green vine darted out from the right-hand side passage like a dragon, excitedly wrapping around Xin Nian's arm.

Xin Nian tugged at it, "Dad, Jiao Jiao said there's a lava pool on the left, and the temperature is extremely high. The gold mine is on the right."

"Which way should we go first?"

"Sister, I'll go check out the lava pool. You two go to the gold mine on the right to collect the supplies. The air down there is stagnant; we need to finish this quickly and get up as soon as possible."

Xin Nian glanced at her elder brother, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Then let Father take Xiao Teng with you."

"Father will follow you."

"No need, I have plenty of people here. Let Jiaojiao and Dad go with you, so they can send messages promptly if anything happens."

Xin Mochen knew he couldn't go against his younger sister's wishes, so he could only nod in agreement.

The two sides parted ways. Xin Nian led her men straight to the gold mine, but halfway there she asked Yan Xi, "Use your clever brain to help me think of something. What exactly is Yu Wang trying to do by infiltrating our group?"

Yan Xi didn't know why the little girl kept asking him to analyze things, and a strange sense of unease crept into her heart...

Seeing her icy gaze sweep over her, Yan Xi answered almost unconsciously, "He probably knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is building the Ice Wasteland and wants to go and check it out..."

He gritted his teeth and told the truth, "He wants to take over the Ice Wasteland for himself."

"Oh." Xin Nian nodded, a half-smile on her face. "Guess whether I believe what you say."

Yan Xi was at a loss for words.

He felt more pressured facing this girl than facing the emperor.

He always had to rack his brains to think about the questions she asked, and felt inexplicably anxious.

"I heard that the Yan people are still causing trouble in the north." Xin Nian looked very melancholy. "I wonder when I will be able to meet these people."

Yan Xi didn't know how to respond.

In fact, the little girl seemed to be talking to herself and didn't seem to be trying to talk to him.

"They bullied Xiao Jinzhi, didn't they?"

"I'm going to kill them all."

"Oh, by the way, guess what? Could it be that King Yu, who's mixed up with our group, is planning a coordinated attack with the Yan people from within?"

Linglu remained silent, but in her heart she was already lighting candles for King Yu.

See? See? They never believed you at all! They've been suspicious of your intentions the whole time.

Why do you doubt King Yu?

Xin Nian turned to look at Ling Luo, who had asked the question, and smiled at him slightly. "Shouldn't we be suspicious? I think he looks strange to me, and he doesn't look like Xiao Jinzhi at all."

“His Highness Prince Yu was just badly beaten, and his face hasn’t recovered yet. He used to be quite handsome, wasn’t he?” Ling Luo couldn’t help but retort.

"You two are quite familiar with each other." Xin Nian's sudden remark sent a chill down Ling Luo's spine...

Turning her head, she saw Yan Xi frowning and glaring at her, and Ling Luo quickly shut her mouth and dared not say a word.
