Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

Chapter 106: Infiltrating the Private Foundry

The old man was still worried after hearing what Feng Chenyi said, so he knelt down and begged Lou Yexue, his words full of pleading: "Mayor, will you come with us?"

Only after the mayor followed him did he feel relieved. After all, he was a citizen of the black market. He had not made any mistakes, and the mayor would not ignore him.

Lou Yexue thought about it and replied indifferently: "Yeah."

The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally smiled. He didn't know whether Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi could rescue his son, but the mayor was sure he could.

Lou Yexue sent someone to send the little boy back. When Zhai Yun handed him two ingots of gold, his eyes lit up with joy and he ran home holding the gold, wanting to share the good news with his sister as soon as possible.

"Since you sympathize with them, why don't you give them more silver?" Feng Chenyi asked softly. He could see that Zhai Yun liked this child very much and even sympathized with them.

Zhai Yun looked at the little boy's back as he left. "They don't even have the ability to protect themselves. Too much money is not a good thing for them. It will easily attract others' covetousness. They may even lose their lives or suffer more hardships for this little money. This little boy is so smart.

He will surely be able to lead his sister to a good life with his own abilities."

Just like the days when he and Feng Chenyi were in the palace, although they often went hungry, they managed to save their lives and found hope for survival.

When Lou Yexue, Zhai Yun, and Feng Chenyi walked out of the black market with the old man, a group of women caught up with them. They knelt in front of Lou Yexue in fear and trepidation, "Master, you can't go. What do you want? Just tell your subordinates."

These maids were just as worried about Lou Yexue as the guards around Emperor Xing'an were about to worry that something might happen to him. If the ruler of a country made any mistake, the dynasty could very likely be overthrown.

Lou Yexue glanced at them indifferently, and said indifferently, "When I come back, I will go and explain to the elders myself. I have stayed in this small place for too long. It's time to go out for a walk."

"Master, you can't go. It's too dangerous outside." All the maids knelt down and begged for mercy, led by Mu Ziyan.

Zhai Yun really didn't understand. With Lou Yexue's abilities, who in the world could hurt him? Why were these people so anxious? What were they afraid of?

When the old man heard that the maids would not let Lou Yexue go out of the city, he hid aside. If Lou Yexue could not go with them, Zhai Yun suspected that he would run away immediately.

He only trusts Lou Yexue, but not Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi.

Seeing this, Zhai Yun stepped forward and said, "Your master is not a child. He is free to go wherever he wants. With his abilities, he certainly doesn't need your protection."

Lou Yexue looked at Zhai Yun with a hint of surprise. From childhood to adulthood, everyone told him what he should do and what he should say. No one cared about what he was thinking or what he wanted to do.

Every step he took was arranged, and he was like a puppet, obeying the instructions of others.

He has no self, and even less freedom. This is the first time someone speaks for him and tells others loudly what he wants to say. He can protect himself and is free to go wherever he wants.

But freedom is a luxury for him.

But this time, it was about the black market. Lou Yexue looked at Mu Ziyan coldly, "Someone from the black market is involved in the dispute outside. I need to go there in person to investigate. I will send a letter to the elders to report."

After Lou Yexue finished speaking, she grabbed the old man and flew away. The women wanted to get up and chase them, but were stopped by Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi.

After Lou Yexue disappeared, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi flew away. The old man told them the address of the private foundry in advance, and Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi found them in a short while.

They were waiting for Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi in an open space in the jungle. When Zhai Yun landed, she looked carefully at the old man. He was an old man with only bones, but there was no fear on his face after being carried by Lou Yexue for so long.

He looked normal, as if he was already used to flying away, but he looked weak and didn't look like someone with any martial arts skills.

Although they were confused, now was not the time to discuss this matter. As soon as Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi arrived, Lou Yexue and the old man did not hesitate at all and took Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi up the mountain.

As if they had reached some kind of consensus, the old man became more obedient than before.

The old man often went in and out of the mountains, and everyone in the mountains knew him. Zhai Yun and others discussed and decided that Zhai Yun would disguise himself as the old man's assistant, follow the old man into the private mint, and then find the account book evidence to find out who the mastermind behind this was.

Feng Chenyi and Lou Yexue coordinated outside. As long as Zhai Yun found evidence and sent out a signal, Feng Chenyi and Lou Yexue would each lead a group of people to attack.

Zhai Yun was short in stature, so no one would pay much attention to her even if she disguised herself as an assistant.

The terrain of Private Casting Camp is very complex. It is located on a cliff. There are many large rocks of strange shapes outside the camp. It is very easy to get lost in the winding roads.

The old man had been here many times before, and he led Zhai Yun into the mountains easily. Zhai Yun used stones to mark the way along the way. When they were about to reach the camp, the old man reminded them, "It's just ahead."

Zhai Yun quickly threw away the stone in her hand and followed the old man closely. The old man looked at Zhai Yun, who seemed to be well-behaved, and made sure that she would not leak anything. Then he adjusted his expression and walked into the private foundry.

The gate of the private foundry was heavily guarded. The guards were all wearing black uniforms and were all martial artists.

When they saw the old man, the leader said fiercely, "Iron Head, why are you here without any notice?"

The old man smiled flatteringly and explained, "I'm old now. I told my son last time that there were some problems with the casting technique. I only realized it after my assistant reminded me. I was afraid that it would ruin the adults' important plan, so I quickly brought him up to take a look."

When those people heard that there was a problem with the technology, they didn't dare to be careless and urged the old man: "Go quickly."

Tiezhutou waved to Zhai Yun, and Zhai Yun lowered her head and followed his steps into the private foundry camp. The guards inside were completely different from those outside. The guards outside were sloppy.

The guards inside were well-organized and specially trained. The workers here were all young and strong. Tiezhutou took Zhai Yun through the forging room and soon saw a young man who was pointing and gesturing.

The young man turned around and saw the iron head and was very excited. "Dad, why are you here? Look at these weapons. I taught them how to make them. They are extremely strong and can cut through iron like mud."

Tie Zhutou showed no signs of abnormality. Instead, he followed his son's instructions and carefully examined the forged weapon. Then, he said earnestly, "Run'er, there's something wrong with the forging method I told you last time. Take me to look at the weapon diagram again, and I'll point it out to you."

When Run heard this, he was very happy and hurried back to his house with the iron head.
