A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

The butler and four guards were very imposing, and as soon as they entered the Liu family's residence, all the guests couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.

Many people lowered their heads, and some even dared not look directly at the five people.

Liu Honggang, along with the elders of the Liu family, hurriedly went to greet them.

Liu Honggang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "I apologize for not greeting you properly with such a distinguished guest!"

The middle-aged fat man at the front glanced at Liu Honggang with an arrogant expression, and then took out a black and gold token from his waist.

The token has "Prime Minister" written on the front and "Zhao" on the back, representing the Zhao family of the Prime Minister's residence.

Upon seeing the token, Liu Honggang had no further doubts. He immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Welcome to the distinguished guests of the Prime Minister's residence!"

Qian Peng, with his hands behind his back, didn't even look at Liu Honggang. He led four black-clad guards directly towards the main table and said, "Get up, all of you! I have something to discuss with you today."

Liu Honggang immediately put on a smile, his heart filled with excitement, and asked, "May I ask what brings Lord Qian here to offer his guidance?"

Qian Peng simply said, "The Ministry of Works previously assigned the task of purchasing Qingtie Mine, and your Liu family should have received one of the purchase orders."

Liu Honggang immediately replied, "Yes, after receiving the order, our Liu family has been working hard to complete it, overcoming various difficulties, working overtime, and finally finished it ahead of schedule! My granddaughter personally handled the whole thing; she had been sleeping at the mine so that it could be completed as soon as possible!"

Liu Honggang quickly attributed all the credit to Liu Qingxia, overjoyed, hoping to use this opportunity to help his second granddaughter gain some advantage, at least to make an appearance in front of the Prime Minister's mansion, which would make it much easier to do other things in the future.

Qian Peng neither agreed nor disagreed, but nodded and said, "Well done. That batch of iron ore is quite important, so from now on, I will take over the Liu family's mines, and you can hand over that batch of iron ore to me as well."

After speaking, Qian Peng glanced at Liu Honggang, then looked at Liu Qingxia standing to the side.

At this moment, Liu Honggang winked at Liu Qingxia and said, "Qingxia, what's the situation with that batch of ore? Report to Master Qian immediately!"

Liu Qingxia cupped her hands slightly and said, "Reporting to Lord Qian, the ore has indeed been mined, amounting to about 11 tons. This batch of ore is currently at our Liu family mine. In addition, Lord Liu, the head of the Eastern Depot, was previously in charge of this part of the business, and he is currently at the mine."

Upon hearing this, Qian Peng frowned and said, "You mean Liu Tong? That damned eunuch came in person?"

Liu Qingxia said, "Lord Liu is also very interested in this batch of ore."

Qian Peng smiled and said, "That's only right. When it comes to serving His Majesty, everyone is naturally eager to do so. Here's what we'll do: take me to the mine, and I'll go and negotiate with Liu Tong personally."

Liu Qingxia was about to agree.

At this moment, Chen Yang tugged at Liu Qingxia's sleeve.

Then Chen Yang spoke up, "I'm sorry, Lord Qian, my wife isn't feeling well, and I was just about to take her to get treatment. That batch of ore is located on the Liu family's mine, and everyone in the Liu family knows it very well, much better than my wife does."

Qian Peng simply nodded and said, "Find someone to take me there, and I'll reward them handsomely!"

The Third Elder immediately stood up and said, "I'll take you there, Lord Qian! I've worked in the mine for 20 years; I can find this road with my eyes closed!"

Qian Peng didn't linger; he immediately stood up and asked the Third Elder to lead the way.

The six men each rode a fast horse and left the Liu residence directly.

Only after Qian Peng and his group left did the guests in the room secretly breathe a sigh of relief, feeling the oppressive aura that had been hanging over them disappear.

Everyone looked at the core area of ​​the Liu family with great envy, and at Liu Honggang and the others.

"The Liu family really got incredibly lucky!"

"Who can argue with that? This time, Qingzhou City was in chaos, and the Liu family was the only one who suffered no losses; in fact, they've become the undisputed number one family in Qingzhou City!" Now, their mines have caught the eye of the Prime Minister's Mansion—they're really lucky!

"Didn't you hear that? Not only the Prime Minister's mansion has taken a liking to them, but even the officials of the Eastern Depot are interested. They're all vying to curry favor with the Emperor! The Liu family's luck has turned!"

"Their unremarkable mine has now become a hot commodity!"

Everyone was envious.

Liu Honggang was furious. He turned and glared at Chen Yang, coldly rebuking him, "Chen Yang, how dare you! Why did you stop Qingxia from going to the mine? Do you know how precious this opportunity was to connect with the Prime Minister's Mansion? If Qingxia could make an appearance before Steward Qian, how many detours could she avoid when she goes to the capital? Do you know how difficult it is to latch onto the Prime Minister's Mansion's powerful backer? You bastard, how dare you obstruct Qingxia's future!"

Chen Yang merely frowned slightly, ignoring Liu Honggang's obsequiousness.

Chen Yang looked towards the outside of the Liu residence with some concern.

Liu Qingxia was also a little confused, and turned to Chen Yang to ask, "Chen Yang, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then said, "Something is amiss. I think there's something wrong with these people in the Prime Minister's residence."

At this moment, Liu Honggang couldn't hold back any longer and angrily retorted, "You're blind, what the hell do you think! You can't see anything, so how dare you say that the officials in the Prime Minister's mansion have problems?"

Chen Yang calmly said, "Although I can't see, my intuition is more accurate than yours. Those people came with ill intentions, clearly carrying murderous intent. More importantly, the four people behind Lord Qian not only had murderous intent, but also a very strange bloody aura and demonic beast aura—I even suspect that those four guards aren't human!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Honggang burst out laughing in anger.

Liu Qingxia trusted Chen Yang completely. She gently held Chen Yang's hand and said, "Chen Yang, is that really how you feel? To be honest, when I saw those four guards, I was a little uneasy. They were completely covered in black robes, not revealing a single bit of skin, and I could always sense a faint, sinister aura emanating from them. Now that you've said this, I'm even more certain."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "At least I'm pretty sure that those people in the Prime Minister's residence have no good intentions, which is why they don't want you to take them."

Liu Qingxia nodded, feeling a sense of security.

Although Chen Yang is blind, Liu Qingxia feels that he always brings her safety and warmth.

Liu Qingxia said, "If those people have ill intentions, they probably didn't go to the mine to take over the mining operations; they must have other motives. In that case, Lord Liu Tong is in danger!"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's secretly go to the mine first and tell Eunuch Liu Tong. After all, he's quite generous and has given us a lot of benefits."

Liu Qingxia had the same thought, and the two of them, holding hands, immediately turned to leave.

Hearing the two whispering, Liu Honggang was speechless for a moment. He glared angrily at Liu Qingxia, his beard bristling, and said, "Qingxia! How can you be so easily swayed? Do you even know who this person is? It's Steward Qian from the Prime Minister's residence! Even setting aside the fact that his identification token is genuine, just look at Steward Qian's aura—he's at least a powerful figure at the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm. Why would he lie to us?"

Chen Yang calmly replied, "He's not just at the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm; he should be at the Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm. He's very strong."

Liu Honggang snorted impatiently and said, "You know he's very strong, yet you dare to doubt him here?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "His strength doesn't mean he's without ulterior motives. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. We need to hurry and get to the mine before they do!"

As they talked, the two prepared to leave the Liu residence.

Just then, two figures in black leaped over the courtyard wall and entered!
