nameless mountains

"Hurry up and dig, don't try to take any time off!"

"I can't dig out all the goods I want, and no one can rest!"

"hurry up!"

A few people who looked like they were in charge were walking around the mountainside, holding short whips in their hands. They would whip a few times on anyone who was lazy.

The hard laborers were beaten too much and became numb, so they dug the mountain step by step.

On the other side, King Runan was lying on a bamboo and rattan chair with a comfortable expression. Next to him were cut fruits and hot tea, not to mention enjoying himself.

The few stewards who were just here came up cautiously, talking to each other one by one.

"My lord, the demands have become higher and higher these days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to meet them."

"Yes, they haven't rested for several days. They don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. I'm afraid they won't be able to work."

"Your Majesty, why don't we reduce some goods? After all, it will take a long time..."

King Runan's expression remained unchanged and he was sipping tea.

When the boy on the side saw it, he understood his master's intention and stood up and said, "You guys are really good at pretending. The prince is here, you are worthy of interrupting? You are allocating money as usual every day, how can you not have enough to eat?"

When the money was mentioned, several stewards looked at each other with different expressions.

The boy naturally understood the faces of several people and snorted coldly, "You can only deceive yourselves with your ideas, and you can't play tricks like our prince!"

Several stewards glanced at King Runan cautiously and did not dare to say anything.

King Runan put down the tea cup in his hand, sighed, raised his eyelids, and said in a deep voice, "I will spit out as much as you eat. If the slave laborers are not full and have no strength, you can help me."

Upon hearing this, the stewards repeatedly begged for mercy and promised never to embezzle food and money again.

King Runan looked calm, but his words were like an ice knife, which stung people. "If trouble occurs again, I will cut my throat and fill the mountain."

This sentence is definitely not a joke.

The stewards turned pale with fright and scattered like animals.

King Runan looked at it, snorted coldly, closed his eyes and took a nap.

The sound of iron pickaxes hitting the ground sounded more beautiful to his ears than fairy music.

After a while, someone came over with a happy face and said, "Your Majesty, all the goods you requested have been packed and delivered!"

Hearing this, King Runan quickly opened his eyes, stood up and looked at him with a smile on his face, "Seriously?"

The man nodded heavily and whispered, "I'll bring the little one over to you. Can you give me a check?"

King Runan was so surprised that he reached down and said, "Quick, let someone bring it to you!"

"Yes." The man ran down, and after a while, he brought six people over. They moved the box four or five times before they finished moving it.

Counting carefully, there are a total of eighteen large boxes.

The man stood in front of the box with a smile on his face, "My lord, take a look, they are all the best!"

As soon as the box was opened, King Runan couldn't wait to greet it, and he picked up a big knife and weighed it casually.

The man also laughed, remembering to step forward to claim credit, "Your Majesty, this batch of goods is of sufficient weight, and it is extremely sharp, cutting iron like clay."

"Yes, it's really good!" King Runan was extremely satisfied and waved his hand quickly, "Send all these goods to General Fuyuan's Mansion. Be sure to hand them over to General Fuyuan personally and let him inspect them before returning to me. I There are many rewards!”

"Your Majesty, we don't have enough manpower. I'm afraid it will take several times to send them all." The man looked embarrassed and whispered, "Everyone in hand has gone to mine, and there are only these left." several."

"you……"

"There are not enough manpower, and I am willing to help."

<divclass="contentadv">Before King Runan could speak, a rather familiar voice came into his ears.

The smile on King Runan's face froze, and he followed the sound and met the eyes of Shen Ji who was standing under the tree with a smile.

"Shen..." King Runan involuntarily took a step back and murmured, "Shen Ji, why are you here!"

"Yeah, why am I here?" Shen Ji brushed away the leaves in front of him with his fingers and walked out slowly, with a modest smile on his lips, "Your Majesty, doesn't he seem very happy to see me?"

King Runan gritted his molar teeth and said in a deep voice, "What other dirty trick are you trying to play?"

Shen Ji lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the box full of weapons, and the corners of his mouth rose a little more.

Seeing that Shen Ji didn't speak and just stared at the box, King Runan's heart sank and he closed the box.

Shen Ji raised his eyebrows slightly with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty is really generous this time. I must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"

King Runan looked around and saw that he was coming alone. He did not want to deal with him anymore and asked coldly, "What on earth are you going to do!"

"Of course, the prince will be brought to justice and his property will be confiscated." Shen Ji took out a gold token from his arms and said warmly, "Seeing the order is like a saint. I follow the emperor's instructions to arrest the criminals Yuan Ye and Cen Zhenjiang. No one involved can escape."

After saying this, Shen Ji put away the token and said with a hooked smile, "I'm afraid that the prince's batch of fine goods will have to change the route and be sent to the palace."

King Runan stared at him, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with hatred, "Chen Ji, what can you do to me on your own?"

King Runan sneered, and just as he was about to speak sarcastically, he heard the sound of horse hooves not far away.

"I never do anything I'm not sure about." Shen Ji raised his eyebrows and said quietly, "If I don't have full confidence that I can take down the prince in one fell swoop, how could I come here rashly?"

Lian Yan led his men and horses to surround him from all sides, surrounding the hilltop three levels inside and three levels outside. Not even a pheasant could escape.

King Runan looked at everything in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes.

His great cause hadn't even begun yet, so why did it end?

Shen Ji unexpectedly anticipated every move he made.

She stood in front of him, as if she had no trace and no place to hide, making him look at her completely.

Things happened so fast that no one could react.

Shen Ji was not in a hurry and waited slowly for King Runan to come to his senses.

"You...this is all your conspiracy!" King Runan was so angry that his vision turned black and he could hardly stand.

"I am standing upright in front of the prince, how can I talk about conspiracy?" Shen Ji had a faint smile on his lips, looking innocent, and everything in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

King Runan gritted his teeth and lowered his head slightly, as if he wanted to fight a psychological war with him, "Shen Ji, I have no intention of going against you, why do you just refuse to give up and insist on becoming my enemy?"

Shen Ji chuckled and shook his head helplessly, "The prince has undue thoughts about the Yongcheng Marquis, which means we will definitely be enemies."

"you!"

"Also," Shen Ji approached him, his voice was very soft, but he could hear it clearly, "My heart has always been with Fang Xu."

"If you bully her, I'll do it to you."

King Runan was stunned. There were so many strange things that happened today that it took him a long time to recover.

"Sir, sir!" Wen Mo strode over and pulled Shen Ji aside.

Shen Ji and Lian Yan exchanged glances, stepped back, and handed over King Runan and his men to him.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ji glanced at him and whispered, "I think you really can't learn to be calm!"

Wen Mo's head almost turned into a rattle, and he tried his best to lower his voice, "Sir, something big happened, and most of the gold mine we were watching was gone!"
