Chapter 117 Going to Hai'an County
The next morning, Zhou Yue called Wang Zheng. She planned to go to Hai'an County today. She had to come back before the restaurant opened, and the time was quite tight.

"Vice General Wang, do you know that there is an iron mine in Hai'an County?" Zhou Yue asked.

"I know!" Wang Zheng nodded, "The iron mines in Hai'an County have been around for many years, and they are relatively large iron mines. I heard that the weapons of our wolf army are made in Hai'an County."

"Fourth Young Master asked Iron Mine what to do?" Wang Zheng asked.

"I want to go to Hai'an County to see if I can get some iron ore slag back." Zhou Yue explained.

"Iron mines are guarded by people sent by the imperial court. It may not be easy for private individuals to enter." Wang Zheng worried. Generally, there are many people stationed on iron mines, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close.

Zhou Yue also understood what he was worried about, but he still had to give it a try, "Now go pick out fifty people, drive fifteen carriages, and come with me to Hai'an County."

"Yes!" Wang Zheng clasped his hands in response, and immediately arranged for manpower and carriages.

Wang Zheng ordered the people and prepared the carriages. Zhou Yue got on the first carriage and said, "Let's go."

"Drive!" Wang Zheng led the way on horseback, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

It took nearly two hours to walk from where they lived to Hai'an County. When they arrived at the county seat, it was almost noon.

Wang Zheng went to inquire about it and found out that the iron mine was not in the county seat. It was only thirty miles away from the county seat.

"Stop and rest, let's go after eating in the county town." Zhou Yue said.

"Okay!" Wang Zheng stopped immediately, and led the team to the food stall on the county street.

"Just eat at these small stalls. You can order what you want, and I'll pay for it." Zhou Yue said to the wolf army.

"That's a good relationship. Fourth Young Master is treating us to a treat. Let's eat more!" Lin Shangwu, who was accompanying him, said with a smile.

Zhou Yue curled her lips, "No problem, you can't eat me up!" The gold bars in her space are almost forming a wall, are you afraid that they will eat her up?
"Brothers, do you hear? This is what the fourth son said, we have to let go, haha~" Lin Shangwu said to the people behind, his face was beaming, and he was very excited.

Everyone laughed and walked towards the stall, discussing with each other what they wanted to eat.

After lunch, everyone drove to the vicinity of the mine.

Stopping the carriage, Zhou Yue asked Wang Zheng, "Do you know who is stationed here?"

Wang Zheng shook his head, "I don't know, this place has been mined for many years, and I don't know who is stationed here."

The late emperor granted a fiefdom to the King of Jin when he was still alive. It didn't take long for someone to report the iron mine. Now more than 20 years have passed. It is estimated that only the emperor's close associates know about the situation here.

Zhou Yue nodded, resting her chin on her hand in thought, suddenly remembered something, and took out a token from the space under the cover of her sleeve.

"This is the token that was looted from the leader when we fought against the Imperial Guard." Zhou Yue handed the token to Wang Zheng.

"Yes, this is the token of the vice-commander of the imperial guards. The dead vice-commander is Xiao Liang, who is from the Xiao family in the capital." Wang Zheng took the token and passed it on to Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue recalled Xiao Liang's appearance and then looked up at Wang Zheng.

"There is a way!" Zhou Yue's eyes lit up, thinking of a way.

"Wear this token, pretend to be Xiao Liang, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and tell the people guarding the mining area that you were fined in the capital. The emperor ordered you to build the Palace of Immortality. The Taoist priest said that the Palace of Immortality needs iron ore. The slag is strong, so I sent you to pull the iron slag." Zhou Yue told her plan.

"Will they believe it?" Wang Zheng was a little confused.

"It's not a big problem. They have been stationed here for so many years and are far away from the capital. They probably don't know people in the capital for a long time. Maybe they just heard about it." Zhou Yue analyzed.

"Besides, we don't want the weapons they made, we just want iron slag, which is not a good thing. It is said to be used to build the Palace of Eternal Life, which is quite credible." After Zhou Yue finished speaking, everyone nodded.

"The fourth son is brilliant!" Lin Shangwu gave a thumbs up, admiring Zhou Yue.

After Zhou Yue said this, Wang Zheng felt that he had a great chance of success. If he was the person stationed here, he would probably believe it, after all, the repairing of the Palace of Longevity is known all over the world.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Wang Zheng said. He is about the same age as Xiao Liang. He also knows a little about the Xiao family in Beijing, so he should be fine.

After getting ready, Wang Zheng walked in the front, Zhou Yue followed behind him, and the team continued to move forward.

"Stop! Who is this? The mining area is forbidden, and no one else is allowed to enter!" As soon as he entered the mining area, he was stopped by soldiers guarding the area.

Wang Zheng took out the token from his arms and said, "Open your eyes. I am Xiao Liang, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. Take me to see you, sir!"

The soldier looked at the token in Wang Zheng's hand. He didn't recognize it, but looking at Wang Zheng's arrogant look, it didn't look like it was fake.

"Hold on a moment, my lord, go and report first." The soldier saluted, then turned around and ran to report.

Wang Zheng and the others stood still, waiting for their leader to come out.

"Report~ Master Qin, a group of people came outside, and the leader said that Xiao Liang, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, wanted to see you." The soldiers reported the situation as soon as they entered the door.

"Oh? Xiao Liang, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard? What is he doing here? Are you sure it's him?" Mr. Qin frowned slightly, wondering how the Imperial Guard came here.

When the soldier heard the question, he immediately replied: "I don't know Xiao Xiao, but he has the token. It doesn't look like a fake."

"Then I'll go meet him!" Mr. Qin stood up and followed the soldiers outside.

When Wang Zheng saw that soldier came out with a man, that man was over 50 years old, his hair was half white, he had a beard, and he had a big belly, so he knew that he was the leader stationed here.

As Master Qin approached, he saw Wang Zheng. He was standing at the front with a murderous aura. He was worthy of being a martial arts practitioner. This man was probably Xiao Liang, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

Wang Zheng didn't open his mouth, and played out the arrogance of the people from the capital.

Lord Qin stepped forward over the soldiers, cupped his hands to Wang Zheng and said, "This is Lord Xiao Liang from the Imperial Guard?"

Wang Zheng took out the token from his pocket and handed it over, "It's me." He didn't know this person, and he didn't know how to address him, so he could only act arrogant and talk less.

Master Qin took the token and inspected it carefully, it was indeed the token of the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Haha, I've seen Master Xiao, and when Master Xiao came to visit, Qin is not far away to welcome you!" Master Qin confirmed Wang Zheng's identity, and immediately bowed his hands in salute.

The position of the deputy commander of the imperial guards is higher than him, but he has been stationed in the iron mine for so many years, and he has some confidence.

Wang Zheng knew his surname and immediately replied: "Master Qin, you are serious. Master Qin has been stationed in the iron mine for many years, and his hard work has made him great!"
