From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 854

Smooth, too smooth.

Everything went exactly as Zhou Yuan planned.

Landing on Penghu Island, being captured by the Dutch, helping to find gold mines, there were no other accidents.

On a hot summer day, Zhou Yuan walked forward with difficulty in his sweatshirt, frowning and looking very heavy.

When making the plan, he had calculated everything. He was sure that the gold mines were more attractive to the Dutch than anything else. He was sure that the Dutch would not be so bloodthirsty and would definitely give the exploration team a chance to find gold mines.

Now it is so smooth, which should be reasonable.

But why do I always feel uneasy?

"Go wherever you want to go."

"We will follow you wherever you go."

"If there is no gold mine within five days, I will bury you there."

What a simple statement, even with a joke, but the 40-man musketeer team kept staring at everyone, who could really laugh?

The old man translator was indeed a native of Dongfan Island, named Cai Husheng.

He is humorous and outgoing, just like the hospitable old man next door.

But Zhou Yuan did not dare to look down on him, because he spoke standard Dutch, and those ordinary Dutch officers even had to give him some face.

It is quite difficult for a native to get such a status here.

"I haven't even put on a serious face yet, but you are starting to lose your face."

Chu Feifan said in a low voice: "These bastards are staring at us so hard that I don't even have a chance to escape. I am suffering with them."

"Can you find the gold mine? You are only given five days. If you can't give an explanation by then, you will die."

Zhou Yuan put aside his uneasiness and said slowly: "In the next few days, we will just walk northeast along the coastline."

"Try to pass through as many large towns, villages and settlements as possible, act in a high-profile manner, and claim to have found gold in every place. Mine."

Chu Feifan glared and said, "Do you want to die? You said you found a gold mine, but you can't find the gold. Wouldn't people get angry?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Within five days, they won't take action. At most, they will complain in their hearts."

"When it's time to be tough, you have to be tough. Our lives are in the hands of others, but they are not worthless."

Chu Feifan shook his head and said, "I don't dare to believe you."

Zhou Yuan said, "You have no choice, because only I can solve the current predicament, because... I really know where there is a gold mine."

Hearing this, Chu Feifan's figure was shocked.

He had no choice but to follow Zhou Yuan's words and try to pass through large towns, villages and settlements. Every place he went, he claimed to have found a gold mine, which made the musketeers and local residents very excited.

And soon, Chu Feifan said that he had made a wrong judgment and was scolded a lot.

Until the afternoon of the third day, the musketeers, who were deceived for the third time, finally got angry.

"Bang!"

The officer fired a shot into the air and said angrily: "You are playing tricks on us!"

"I will kill ten people to teach you a lesson."

It was not pleasant to have a gun pointed at your head, but Chu Feifan still followed Zhou Yuan's instructions and said: "Sir, I swear I will never let anyone point a gun at my head!"

"If you still want to make merit, if you want to get countless wealth, put your gun down and follow me."

"If you don't want anything, you want to mess up this mission, you don't want to give an explanation to the higher-ups, just shoot me."

He was so angry that his ferocious appearance was really scary.

Cai Husheng quickly came out to smooth things over: "It's all about the gold mine, why are you arguing!"

"Put down your guns, put down your guns, we agreed on five days, there are still two days left!"

He quickly grabbed the Dutch officer and grinned: "Let's talk about it after the five-day deadline, why are you so angry."

The Dutch officer snorted heavily and couldn't help kicking Chu Feifan. Chu Feifan covered his crotch with his hands in pain and sweated coldly.

After a small episode, everyone continued to head north along the coastline.

Chu Feifan said in a low voice: "Zhou Yuan, are you sure?"

Zhou Yuan said: "No, but at least we are heading in the direction of our plan."

Chu Feifan said: "I hope you fucking succeed! Because I want to beat that guinea pig to death. This bastard almost kicked my balls and I'm holding a grudge."

Zhou Yuan glanced at him and said: "The gold mine is in Jilong Mountain."

"Oh, it's true!"

Chu Feifan nodded and said: "Where is Jilong Mountain?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Northeast, about 400 miles away from us."

Chu Feifan was stunned for a moment, then glared and said: "You are fucking crazy! 400 miles! We only have two daysIt's too late. "

Zhou Yuan said: "So we need at least seven or eight days, you have to discuss it with Cai Husheng."

Chu Feifan said: "You think he is a pig! He is so easy to talk to!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "He will agree to you."

"Why!"

"Because we have been exposed."

Hearing this, Chu Feifan's legs softened and he almost knelt down.

He trembled and said: "You kid... Don't talk nonsense, we covered it up very well and didn't make any mistakes."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "Remember what you said to me before? When you were negotiating with them, you said that you had been engaged in exploration for 30 years."

Chu Feifan said: "Remember! What's the problem? They are not experts, and they can see my length of service!"

Zhou Yuan said: "You shouldn't tell Cai Husheng that you are from Zhangzhou. "

"You don't have a Zhangzhou accent. You speak Mandarin so fluently, it's a typical northern accent."

Chu Feifan was stunned and could hardly move for a moment.

Zhou Yuan continued: "You said you had discovered two silver mines. In fact, Dajin has only discovered one silver mine in the past hundred years, and none in the past thirty years."

Chu Feifan's face turned pale and he trembled: "Does that mean... from that moment on, I have been exposed?"

Zhou Yuan said: "But Cai Husheng didn't expose you."

"Why?"

Chu Feifan couldn't help but say: "Isn't he loyal to the Dutch?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, but in my opinion, he may also be waiting for something."

"For example, he is looking for... the leader between us."

Chu Feifan glared and said: "Can he see that I am not the boss?"

Zhou Yuan said: "He can't see it, but he has seen something in the past three days. "

As soon as the voice fell, a kettle made of bamboo tube was handed over.

Cai Husheng smiled and said, "Young man, the weather is hot, drink some water!"

Zhou Yuan took it and drank a few mouthfuls before sighing, "These few days, he has been talking to me whenever he is free, and you have found the loophole."

Cai Husheng shook his head and said, "Young man, this may not be intentional on your part, otherwise why would you keep talking to him?"

Chu Feifan looked at the two of them and was stunned.

Are smart people so straightforward? They just started handing water to drink, and they were too lazy to test it?

Zhou Yuan said, "I have confidence."

Cai Husheng said, "What confidence? Do you have confidence in me? Do you think I won't betray you?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Well, I am very confident that you will never betray me."

Cai Husheng snorted and said, "Wrong, I never thought of covering up for you."

Zhou Yuan said, "You will continue to hide it. ”

“Oh? Why?”

“Because I can really find a gold mine.”

Zhou Yuan looked at him and squinted his eyes and said, “Do you want it? This is a great achievement.”
