He remembered the surrounding terrain before returning as the same route.

Back to the temporary tangled place, Jian Rufeng immediately told us what he saw and heard.

I roughly drew the scene that Jian Rufeng described to me with a branch on the ground. According to what he said, the intersection now is just a small entrance, and there are only two people holding hands. In other words, this Jingjing is a outpost, and there should be something inside, maybe those things must be what we want to know.

And what exactly is there?

Now no one knows anything, and the key question we are now is how to get in. Only by entering can we know the reason.

So now, while I was carefully looking at the map on the ground, thinking about Jian Rufeng's words, suddenly, I remembered a question, that is, road.

In the past, when building construction, the so-called three-way connection in the building was water, electricity, and roads. To do a project, these are the most necessary. By the same token, if the trail is the main intersection, there must be a road ahead. However, according to Jian Rufeng's description, the trail can only be four people side by side, but it is a bit narrower for the driving trail. And no matter how many people live in it, the preparation of grain must require horses to be shipped. Over time, a road will definitely appear in front. If people on the mountain want to purchase these things, the best place is Jiangzhou. It is impossible for people to transport these things at such a long distance.

After figuring out this floor, I quickly asked, "Is there any other road leading to that intersection in front of the intersection!"

Jian Rufeng recalled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No!"

"Are you sure?" I asked again.

"Yes!" he nodded affirmatively, saying, "There are all woods there, and I also looked around. I didn't find any other road leading to that intersection except the path they went back."

"Okay!" I clapped my hands and said happily: "I'm sure there must be other roads leading there, but we haven't found them yet.

"Why?" Jian Rufeng and others felt very surprised.

I smiled and told me the reason

Jian Rufeng and others nodded after hearing this, and agreed with my explanation.

Since everyone agrees with me, the next step is to find out which intersection, whether there is a chance or not, we will only know after finding out. However, before this, I will arrange for the people to have a meal and rest, and plan to set out to explore the way after the rest is done. There is no need to arrange for people to release this whistle, because basically no one is coming to this small village now.

Just as everyone was lying down, a knock came from the door, and someone asked, "Is anyone here?" The voice was relatively old.

Everyone flipped up from the ground and their weapons were unsheathed at the same time.

"Who?" Jian Rufeng asked in a deep voice when he saw that everyone was ready.

"It's us!" the outsider replied in a low voice, "We are here to find the guy who is leading you."

"Look for me?" I was slightly stunned, and then nodded in Jian Rufeng.

Jian Rufeng immediately gave a wink to Mingya who was standing at the door, and then Mingya slowly opened the door. At the main entrance were two old men, one of the white-haired old gentleman, and next to him was an old lady who was also an old lady. Seeing that we opened the door, we were looking inside.

They also noticed the knife in Mingya's hand. At the same time, the murderous aura emitted by Mingya made the two of them change their faces, and they couldn't help but look fear on their faces.

I waved my hand and signaled everyone to put away their weapons. Then I stepped forward and clasped my fists and said, "You two are really embarrassed. I offended you so much just now, I hope you forgive me."

The old man shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, we were disturbing."

I smiled slightly, immediately stepped forward, helped the old man into the door, and a stool immediately brought in.

After the old man sat down, I asked, "I don't know what the old man is asking me for? If I need help, I'm going to do my best!"

After the old man and the old lady took a look, he slowly took out a well-folded invitation from his arms, and I am very familiar with this thing, and I also have one, the Ren Shu sent by the court when he took office.

Could this old man is also an imperial official?

I took Ren Shu in confusion. The whole Ren Shu was vermilion red, with gold edges on the edges, and the three characters of the Great Zhou Dynasty were written in the middle, which were also gold. Perhaps due to the long time, the red on the Ren Shu had fallen off a little, except for the gold edges that still shine.

When the old man saw that I took over Ren Shu, he said, "I turned out to be the prefect of Jiangzhou. After resigning from office for fifteen years, I lived in seclusion here."

I opened Ren Shu and saw that it was exactly the same as he said, with the words "Jiangzhou Prefect" written on it.

"I wonder if you are holding any position in the court now?" the old man asked suddenly.

I was shocked and immediately smiled and said, "Old man, you are really good at joking. I am just a businessman. How could I hold a position in the court?"

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, it's not good to lie. If I don't know that you are an official from the court, how dare I come to you? Do you really think I'm tired of living this old bone?"

"I don't know where the old man said this?" Although I was a little surprised, I thought about it from beginning to end and there was no flaw. Besides, I have never seen this old man before. How could he know that I was in the court? And he also said with certainty that I came from the court.

The old man shook his head, smiled slightly, and said two words softly, saying: "Golden medal!"

My face changed, and then I immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "I am a businessman and I have some savings at home. There are still several sides to this gold medal. I don't know which side the old man is referring to?"

"I wonder if you have a gold medal engraved on it like my personal visit?" the old man smiled and said, "Why lend me a look?"

Jian Rufeng and I looked at each other. Although everyone in the entourage knows that I have this gold medal, I have only taken out this gold medal so far, once for Jian Rufeng, and the other for Yingying. I have never taken it out at all at the rest. The Mingya are all loyal and cannot leak the news. So how did he know that I have this gold medal?

My heart was full of doubts, and I looked up and down at the old man in front of me, while he looked at me with a smile, sitting there, vaguely feeling of being an official, which was a habit that I had developed for a long time, and he looked confident.

He actually knew everything, and I didn't hide it, so I said in a deep voice: "How did you know I have this gold medal?" I didn't deny what I meant right now.

"I live opposite Old Man Meng!" said the old man lightly, "You have been there after the beast took Old Man Meng away today. Maybe you feel safe, so you take out the gold medal for him." He pointed at Jian Rufeng and continued, "And I am very familiar with that gold medal. I also had one at the beginning. Although after so many years, the appearance of this gold medal has not changed, and I remember clearly what it looks like, so I recognize it as soon as you take it out, and you can be sure that you are an official sent by the court."

After hearing the old man's words, I remember that last night we knocked on the old man's door first. After not opening it, we talked to the old man Meng, whom the old man said. This morning, I thought there was no one at that time, so I took out the gold medal for Jian Rufeng. I didn't expect that all our actions were seen by the old man. While complaining about my carelessness, there was also a hint of luck, that is, the old man lived here for a long time and must know what happened in the village, so I could know what happened in the village.

So I clasped my fists and said, "Xiao Ke Deng Long, now he is the General Zhongwu in the court and is in the third rank."

"Third rank?" The old man looked me up and down and praised: "I am so young and have a position. I didn't expect that you can be ranked in the third rank if you are so young. The future is limitless."

I smiled slightly at the old man's praise. If he knew that I had a third-rank civilian job, I didn't know what he would think.

After the praise, the old man asked, "What is the purpose of you when you arrived in Jiangzhou this time, and you have the gold medal given by the emperor?"

I immediately returned and said, "I came down this time because of an unjust case..." Then I told him the reason for my arrival in detail, and at the same time expressed my doubts.

After listening to my narration quietly, the old man said, "Actually, I came here this time to tell you what happened to this power. I also hope you can rescue those villagers."

When I heard this, I felt that this matter was a bit difficult, so I said seriously: "Please tell me, if you can help me, I will definitely not refuse."

After hearing that I did not refuse, the old man nodded slightly and said, "The matter has to start with Old Man Meng. A year ago, he rescued a dying young man at the foot of Jinshan."

Seeing that we didn't know where was Jinshan, he pointed to a big mountain in front of us and said, "This is Jinshan, there are many gold mines in Jinshan."

I know about this. A lot of gold is released to Jiangzhou every year, which is something that the entire court knows. Jiangzhou's goldware is also famous all over the world, and there is one in Shangling's commercial street.

After explaining that there was Jinshan, the old man continued, "Old Man Meng saved him out of kindness, but he didn't expect to save a thing that was worse than a beast. At first, the beast thanked Old Man Meng for his life-saving grace and was very nice to him. But after a cup of wine, he accidentally told the vein of a gold mine in Jinshan, and the beast also revealed his fox tail. It turned out that he was not a down-and-out scholar at all, but a bandit on the mountain. I didn't know where to learn that Old Man Meng had the ability to prospect, so he pretended to be injured, so he used this to contact Old Man Meng and wanted to find out the vein from Old Man Meng."
