THE HUMBLE FAMILY'S DAUGHTER HAS A SPATIAL POCKET!

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.

Ignoring Daohua, who still seemed intent on sharing her grievances, Wu Jingyi turned to Xiao Yeyang and expressed his concerns, “I’m afraid that what happened here will soon reach the ears of Prince Duan.”

Xiao Yeyang furrowed his brows, “Why does Lord Wu say so? Could it be that Fan Kun really escaped?”

Wu Jingyi shook his head, “I don’t know if Fan Kun has escaped, but I had people interrogate Xu Kezheng. According to him, Fan Kun sensed something amiss and sent a message to Prince Duan before you all arrived here.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression immediately turned grim.

If Fan Kun had indeed transmitted a message, Daohua’s matter might very well be exposed to Uncle Eight.

Uncle Eight, who did not hesitate to kill the women of the Jiang Family on accusations of assassination, how could he spare the Yan Family?

Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s worried look, Daohua asked, “The Fan Kun you two are talking about, is he Old Fan?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded.

Daohua responded, “Oh, then he probably didn’t get the message out because I shot down his pigeon, and I intercepted the letter.”

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Yeyang and Wu Jingyi widened their eyes in astonishment.

Wu Jingyi’s mouth twitched, “Fan Kun is that unlucky?”

Daohua cast him a dissatisfied glance, “It’s my cleverness that matters.” Had she not reacted swiftly, the pigeon might not have been shot down. Considering this, she added with a smile, “I also kicked him down into a ditch by East Mountain. Didn’t you find him there?”

Xiao Yeyang and Wu Jingyi exchanged a quick glance, then rapidly averted their eyes.

Well, the formidable Fan Kun they had regarded as a tough opponent didn’t seem to be as formidable as the rumors had suggested!

Wu Jingyi summoned his subordinates, instructing them to search around East Mountain, then turned to Daohua, “Where is the letter you intercepted?”

Daohua pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket.

Wu Jingyi immediately reached out his hand.

Daohua thoughtlessly passed the paper over, but just as it was about to be handed over, she suddenly turned and put it into Xiao Yeyang’s hand, whispering in his ear, “I think this message uses a code. Take it back and decipher it, you might be able to crack how Prince Duan communicates with his subordinates.”

Codebooks, after all, existed even in ancient times.

Initially indifferent to the intercepted letter, Xiao Yeyang’s eyes lit up upon hearing her words. As Wu Jingyi reached for the paper, Xiao decisively tucked it into his jacket pocket.
