Chapter 33 A Windfall of a Gold Vault

Fu Yanting sat up, scratched his curly hair, stared at his heavy dark circles, and said in a warning tone, “Chu Chenyin, you…”

“Did I?” Chu Chenyin saw that he was fully clothed and guessed that she hadn’t done anything outrageous last night, so she felt a little relieved.

Fu Yanting was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered Chu Chenyin’s innocent look last night. He swallowed the warning words in his mouth, softened his tone, and changed the subject, “Do you want to eat buns…?”

“Buns?” Chu Chenyin thought he was going to tease her and was a little confused for a moment.

Fu Yanting quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and replied, “I saw a crab roe bun shop on the street yesterday. Do you want to eat? If you do, I’ll go buy some.”

Chu Chenyin blinked her eyes, not caring about anything else, and smiled, “I want to eat.”

Fu Yanting looked at her watery apricot eyes, his heart beat faster again. He turned around and said, “Okay, you wait here, I’ll go buy them now.”

After saying that, he hurried out of the inn.

Fu Jianghong, who was just about to come looking for Chu Chenyin, happened to see this scene.

She walked over quickly and said in surprise, “Sister-in-law, was that really my elder brother just now?”

“It’s your elder brother.” Chu Chenyin turned to her and asked, “What’s wrong, Third Sister?”

Fu Jianghong smiled, “Sister-in-law, you don’t know, my elder brother has never been controlled by anyone since he was a child. Usually, my parents say west, he insists on going east. It’s never happened before that he would obediently go buy buns.”

Chu Chenyin suddenly realized and felt puzzled, “He’s so unruly, how did he become a general?”

Fu Jianghong sat down, poured a glass of water, took a sip, “My elder brother’s brain is different from others. Things we can’t see, he can see them, like the enemy’s lair, the enemy’s tactics, the enemy’s ambush, he can see it all with just one glance.”

She said, her eyes filled with pride, “My elder brother, at the age of twelve, wiped out thousands of enemy soldiers on the battlefield. It was because of that battle that he became famous and became known as the young general.”

After hearing this, Chu Chenyin immediately thought of the records about Fu Yanting in the history books.

She had always thought that the ancient people used exaggerated writing, but now it seems that it was really like that.

After Fu Yanting bought the buns and came back, the three of them changed into black clothes and went to the third mountain in Qingyang County.

Chu Chenyin had just climbed halfway up the mountain when she heard the voice of the eldest daughter of the Chu family not far away, “That mountain ahead is the one. Let’s take a break.”

“Yes, Miss.” A group of servants responded in unison.

Chu Chenyin slightly raised her eyes and looked ahead. She saw the eldest daughter of the Chu family sitting on a rock, taking a break.

She winked at Fu Yanting and Fu Jianghong behind her.

Then the three of them bypassed the eldest daughter of the Chu family and her group, taking a small path to the opposite mountain.

The mountain here was not steep, but the trees were dense, and people walking inside were easily cut by thorny vines.

Fortunately, the three of them were well-prepared, their faces tightly covered, and they quickly walked inside.

Finally, they saw a small cave.

There were signs of digging in the cave. Last night, Wan’s eldest son must have sent people to dig again. Besides, there were many people guarding the entrance.

Fu Yanting took a few ignited sleeping pills and threw them towards the crowd.

Soon, the people guarding the entrance fell to the ground one by one.

The three of them took this opportunity to walk towards the entrance of the cave.

Fu Yanting squatted down and rubbed the freshly turned soil on the ground, “This is the right place.”

Fu Jianghong was overjoyed and looked into the cave, “The young master of the Wan family is really quick. He dug up the gold mine in just one night. Maybe he’s on the mountain with the eldest daughter of the Chu family right now, wanting to see his masterpiece.”

Fu Yanting stood up, his lips slightly raised, “Third Sister, you and your sister-in-law go in, you stay at the entrance and signal us if there’s any news.”

“Okay, Big Brother.” Fu Jianghong held her sword and guarded the entrance. As she turned around, she didn’t forget to tell her elder brother to take care of her sister-in-law.

Chu Chenyin smiled and handed her a smoke bomb, “Third Sister, if there are too many people, throw this out!”

Fu Jianghong looked at the thing in her hand and asked, “Sister-in-law, how do you use this?”

Chu Chenyin pointed to the safety buckle on top, “Just open this and throw it at them.”

Fu Jianghong was very smart and understood after she explained it once, “Okay, Sister-in-law, you two go in quickly.”

Chu Chenyin nodded slightly and turned to follow Fu Yanting into the gold mine.

The cave was dark and damp. Chu Chenyin gave Fu Yanting a flashlight and held a smaller one herself.

The two of them walked into the cave one after the other.

Not long after, Chu Chenyin found some small gold stones on the ground.

She picked up one and showed it to Fu Yanting, “Look, there’s a piece of gold here.”

Fu Yanting carefully examined the gold stone, his eyes filled with joy, “This piece of gold has been polished.”

“What do you mean?” Chu Chenyin asked in confusion.

Fu Yanting looked towards the end of the cave, “It’s possible that this isn’t a gold mine, but…”

“But what?” Chu Chenyin’s heart sank.

Fu Yanting said slowly, “It’s possible that it’s a gold vault.”
