Chapter 495: Chapter 464, Iron Ore_1

Regarding the fact that Daohua had poisoned him, Yongwang felt uncomfortable inside, but trying to empathize, he understood, and after thinking, he said, “Miss, rest assured, I won’t betray you.”

Daohua gave him a glance but said nothing.

Seeing that she didn’t trust him, Yongwang didn’t say anything more.

Daohua said, “Can you tell me about the situation in your village?”

Yongwang looked at her, picked up a tree branch, and started drawing on the ground, “Our village is surrounded by mountains on all sides with only one entrance and exit, that is the stone cave filled with mechanisms.”

“There are people guarding the entrance of the stone cave every day, each one a master. Unless you can take down these masters, you won’t be able to escape.”

...

The light in Daohua’s eyes flickered, and confusion crossed her gaze. Even if this was a gathering spot for Prince’s underlings, there was no need for such tight security.

“I heard you mention the Guard Squad before, what is that for?”

Yongwang remained silent for a moment: “The Guard Squad is responsible for maintaining order in the village.”

Daohua raised an eyebrow, “Your village really isn’t simple, even having a dedicated team to maintain order. What, do fights and brawls happen often here?”

Yongwang said, “…Most people in the village are just common folk, seeking only to have enough to eat and wear, and not to fight and brawl.”

Daohua, “That’s strange then, if there’s no trouble, what do you need a Guard Squad for?”

Yongwang didn’t know how to answer and simply closed his mouth and stayed silent.

Seeing his reaction, Daohua continued, “You say you are common folk, I doubt that. Knowing my father is an Imperial Envoy, you still dare to kidnap me. If there isn’t someone backing you, who would believe it?”

This time Yongwang spoke up, “The people who kidnapped you are not us.”

Daohua immediately said, “Don’t tell me you’re not with them?”

Yongwang said urgently, “Of course not, if I were with them, I would have reported it the moment I discovered you had stolen my clothes.”

Daohua fell silent, pondering for a while, probing, “What exactly does your village do?”

Yongwang glanced at Daohua, pursed his lips, and gave no answer.

Seeing that he wasn’t talking, Daohua had no choice but to ask from a different angle, “Your village is guarded so strictly, can you normally go out?”

Yongwang shook his head, “I’ve been in Sishan Village for three years now and haven’t left once during that time.”

Daohua knitted her brows, “What about the others, can they not leave either?”

Yongwang nodded.

Daohua, “Doesn’t that mean you are trapped in this village? Don’t you all make a fuss?”

Yongwang showed a wry smile, “What’s the use of making a fuss, those who do…” were killed.

Seeing that he stopped speaking there, Daohua became somewhat anxious and was about to continue asking when she saw Yongwang looking at her seriously, “Miss, don’t ask any more. The more you know, the less likely you’ll be able to leave.”

Hearing this, Daohua fell silent.

This village must be hiding some secret.

After pondering for a while, Daohua said, “Take me to see the exit area.”

Yongwang frowned, “Are you sure? There are people looking for you everywhere in the village now.”

Daohua looked straight at Yongwang, “I think… you must have a way to help me avoid them, right?” His eyes were lively, and given that he dared to hide her, it was clear he was bold and astute. Such a person would definitely have some skills.

Yongwang’s frown deepened, “Even if I take you there, you still won’t be able to leave.”

Daohua, “Whether I can leave or not is my business, it has nothing to do with you. You just need to lead the way.”

Seeing that Daohua was determined, Yongwang knew that even if he didn’t guide her, she would still try to make her own way there. Thinking it over, he nodded and said, “Fine, I’ll show you the way.”

Yongwang didn’t take Daohua out through the front but instead left through the back door and headed straight for the back mountain.
