Lin Xue'an frowned, with rare surprise on his face, but he quickly shook his head, "I can't have this."

"You don't want it?" Su Xiang was stunned.

Is the villain showing off his brains? All these ores are mined for money! He wants revenge and doesn't he need money to support an army? Why not accept it? !

"Miss, this mine belongs to you. I just helped you find it. I am not qualified to get so much."

"Why? You don't want it?"

"Of course I... want it, after all, these things are so exciting." Even 20% of the ore is sky-high money, which will help him support his soldiers and hoard weapons, but, "I can't have it."

He never thought of relying on Su Xiang's help to realize his revenge plan. No matter how difficult his affairs were, he would never let Su Xiang get involved.

Now just thinking about how angry Su Xiang would be if he knew his true identity in the future was enough to worry him. He must not let Su Xiang think that he came to her just to take advantage of her. He didn't want Su Xiang to mistakenly think that his feelings were mixed with something else.

It may be ridiculous to say that a person like him, who is full of blood and hatred, actually wants to protect a little bit of pure love in a dirty and dark world.

But Su couldn't understand.

"If you do this well, I will reward you. Anyway, I have more ore, so I don't care about that. What does it matter if you take it?"

"I can't." Lin Xueman's eyes were dark, shining with a light that Su couldn't understand, "Miss, you can give me other rewards, but the ore is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Su Xiang didn't expect Lin Xue'an to be so stubborn, and her blood pressure rose with anger.

She took a deep breath, turned her head and looked around, then turned to look at Lin Xuedan again.

"I ask again, will you accept it or not?"

""Miss, I can't accept the mine. If you want to reward me, you can give me something else, even something worthless. "As long as it is a gift from Su Xiang, even a stone is precious.

"Okay, forget it if you don't accept it." Su Xiang glared at him and said harshly, "Just don't regret it."

Since he refuses to accept these ores, then he will find a way to make money to support the army and realize his revenge plan!

You really don’t understand good people’s hearts! She was so angry!

Su Xiang was so angry that when he heard Lin Xueman's words, he simply pulled out the jade hairpin from his head and threw it into his arms with a bad tone.

"Since I promised to give you a reward, I will not go back on it. This hairpin is worth about two thousand taels, so you can keep it."

Lin Xue'an touched the hairpin with her slender fingers, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."

Then, he took the hairpin into his arms with great care.

Su wanted to turn away, not wanting to see his worthless look.

The mine worth tens of thousands of gold refuses to accept it, but a hairpin worth two thousand taels is accepted actively. The villain is really incomprehensible!

Now that saltpeter mines and halite have been found, it will only be a matter of time before gypsum is found.

Su wanted to see that it was getting late and was about to go back. Her eyes fell on Lin Xueyuan's face for a moment, she snorted and called Lin Qi.

"Lao Qi, please take me back."

"Yes."

Lin Qi was as silent as gold. After hearing Su Xiang's order, he immediately stepped forward and prepared to lead the way.

Lin Xue'an's face suddenly darkened. He stepped forward to block Lin Qi, "Miss, Lin Qi still needs to supervise the work here. He doesn't have time. I'll take you back."

Su wanted to hear his nonsense, "You are in charge of the mine work. You must be the one to supervise the work. What does it have to do with him?"

Lin Xue An's expression froze as Su Xiang choked, and she turned to stare at Lin Qi sinisterly, so frightened that Lin Qi immediately found an excuse to escape.

"Miss, I... I made an agreement with Gong and Ye Qi yesterday. He will be responsible for the daytime and I will be responsible for the night. We will take turns. You can go back and let Ye and Ye Qi lead the way..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran into the cave in a hurry, fearing that Su wanted to say more.

Su Xiang: "..."

Lin Xue secretly showed a satisfied expression.

……

On the way down the mountain, Su Xiang walked in front, and Lin Xue An followed behind with a bow and arrow on his back. The atmosphere between the two became somewhat condensed for a moment.

Mainly because Su wanted to ignore him or not, but Lin Xue An also knew what was going on and followed him obediently, not to get into trouble with her.

As she was walking, Su Xiang suddenly heard a strange sound. She followed the sound and looked over, only to see a green snake coiled on a tree trunk not far to her right. At that moment, goosebumps appeared on her skin. .

She is most afraid of snakes in her life!

Lin Xue'an, who had excellent eyesight, also saw it. His face changed drastically. When he was about to step forward, the snake had noticed them. It turned its head, arched its upper body, hissed, and was ready to attack.

Su Xiang screamed silently, her body stiffening into stone.

Lin Xueman stopped immediately. He stared at the snake, took out the bow and arrow from his back, and softly comforted her.

"Miss, trust me, don't move."

Seeing the snake sliding down and getting closer, Su Xiang gritted his teeth to prevent himself from screaming and did not move rashly.

Lin Xuean softly put the arrow on the bow and aimed at the snake's head. His dark eyes were as sharp as arrow feathers, flashing with an icy cold light. Veins popped up on the back of his hand, and he pulled out the bow string with an overwhelming clang.

Both of them subconsciously held their breath.

"Hiss..."

The next second, just as the snake launched its attack, the arrow feathers also shot through the air. With an indomitable sharpness, they passed over Su Xiang's head and penetrated the snake's body in an instant, nailing it heavily. On the tree trunk above.

Su Xiang immediately stepped back and ran into the hot arms of the person behind him. He immediately put his right hand around Su Xiang's waist and strode back to lead her back.

The two of them looked at the snake for a while, and then they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the snake was really silent.

Lin Xue An hugged Su Xiang tightly. There was still a cold look on his face, but his slightly trembling hands revealed the fear in his heart.

If he is a step late, the lady will...

Su Xiang's body went limp. If it weren't for Lin Xueman, she would have fallen to the ground.

Because he was in the aftermath of the disaster, Su Xiang didn't notice that Lin Xueman's right hand was still firmly around his waist, so he didn't realize that it was a protective and possessive gesture.

When Su Xiang came to her senses, she hurriedly pushed Lin Xueman away. She didn't know if the heat from the other person's body had infected her. Su Xiang only felt that her ears were faintly hot.

On the way back, Lin Xue An walked in front and Su Xiang walked behind.

This time, he was extremely cautious to nip all potential dangers in the bud, and the journey that took less than half an hour took more than an hour.

In the end, Su Xiang couldn't walk any longer. Lin Xue glanced at the setting sun, then stepped forward to pick her up and quickly walked down the mountain.

"Sorry miss, the sun is going down. It's very dangerous in the mountains at night. We have to speed up."

Su Xiang bit her lower lip. She didn't refuse after all, but the heat from her ears spread to her face at some point.

When they returned to the courtyard again, night fell. Qingyun and Qinglai had already been waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. They were shocked to see Lin Xue secretly hugging Su Xiang.

At this moment, Su Xiang came to her senses. She quickly asked Lin Xueman to put her down, coughed uncomfortably, and then took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to him.

"It contains a method of making ice from saltpeter. You can try it out tomorrow and come back to me after you make it."

Lin Xue An took back her hand and nodded silently, "I understand."
