Chapter 505: Chapter 470, Two Foxes (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_1

Daohua followed Xiao Yeyang back to his residence only to see Lord Wu talking with the Hidden Guards. She expressed her surprise, “Why is he here?”

Xiao Yeyang lowered his voice, “Although I can mobilize the local military forces, my experience is still too shallow. Some things and people are hard to suppress. To prevent the village’s affairs from leaking out, I sent someone to inform Lord Wu and asked him to come and take charge.”

Originally, after handing over the gold mine matter to Chen Hong, Governor Wu was supposed to return to the capital. Who would have thought he was delayed for several days visiting friends and happened to encounter this affair?

It was also his good fortune, for although he did not discover the iron mine and the armament factory, when the time came for rewards based on merit, he would surely not be lacking a share.

Intrigued, Daohua asked, “Is his official rank very high?”

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment and then replied, “It’s all right. He has some prestige in the military.” It amounted to nothing more than a first-rank official, that’s all.

...

Daohua asked again, “Will he steal our credit?”

Looking at the worry in Daohua’s eyes, Xiao Yeyang almost laughed, “Don’t worry. I sent a memorial to my imperial uncle last night. No one can take our credit.”

With that, Daohua felt relieved. Seeing Lord Wu looking over and giving them a friendly smile, she returned it.

Wu Jingyi approached Xiao Yeyang and Daohua, looking at the two of them with a hint of emotion.

First a gold mine, now an iron mine—did these two youngsters have a knack for finding mines?

But he was pleased! Merits that fell into his lap were always welcome.

Wu Jingyi glanced at Daohua’s arm and asked with concern, “I hear you’ve been injured?”

Daohua immediately nodded her eyes, blinking and speaking with a trace of lingering fear, “If Xiao Yeyang hadn’t arrived early yesterday, I would have nearly been cleaved in two. It was a narrow escape from death for me.” Although this man wouldn’t steal credit, it never hurt to share some of her troubles with him.

Wu Jingyi’s expression stiffened. If he hadn’t promptly inquired about the events that occurred here upon arrival, he would almost have been fooled by the cunning little fox in front of him.

As far as he knew, this youngster had used Sleeping Powder yesterday to take out the assassins in the Stone Tomb in one fell swoop.

If not for her, the casualties would have been several times higher, and the weapons in the Stone Tomb might not have been fully preserved.
