He has a spatial ability and saves three children on his escape route.

Chapter 150 Divide the Money

Inside the mine, Xia Yichen and his group stayed away from the crowd, mining in a secluded spot. Wen Yuxia quietly told Xia Yichen the contents of the letter.

The gold mine in the valley was discovered by Wuhu Village six months ago. The workers who were processing the gold ore were sent by constables on behalf of County Magistrate Liu Zhigang, and the constables were also the ones escorting the gold bricks.

All the letters were written by Magistrate Liu Zhigang alone, and each letter ended with the words "Destroy immediately after reading" written in small characters. The Five Tigers Village chief probably feared Liu Zhigang would embezzle the gold bricks, so all letters related to the gold bricks were kept in a hidden compartment.

Thanks to the Five Tigers Stronghold leader not burning the letter, Xia Yichen had the opportunity to photocopy its contents. He knew clearly that the most urgent task was to leave the valley safely.

It would be easy for them to leave, but what about the hundreds of miners in the valley? Thinking back to when Wen Yuxia brought back Lu Mubai and five hundred soldiers from Black Eagle's Beak, Xia Yichen looked at Wen Yuxia with hopeful eyes.

Wen Yuxia waved her hand, refusing, "Military orders are absolute. If you give the order, which soldier would dare disobey? The common people are different from the soldiers; they won't obediently swallow the sleeping pills you command."

Using her space to rescue people is possible, provided her secret remains undiscovered. However, asking her to risk exposing the secrets of her space to rescue someone is unacceptable.

Xia Yichen wasn't confident he could persuade all the civilians to take the drug under the watchful eyes of the men in black, nor could he guarantee that everyone would take it willingly. He said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

Wen Yuxia deliberately changed the subject of rescuing the miners, saying softly, "I've observed them these past two days. As long as they work honestly, the men in black won't make things difficult for them..."

Every day, people are lured into the valley to mine. Wen Yuxia believes that in a few days, the number of miners will exceed a thousand. At that time, they will be able to leave the valley quietly without being discovered by the men in black.

Xia Yichen nodded slightly. Wen Yuxia was right. Even if the imperial court took back the mines, they would still hire people to operate them. It was good for these miners to stay here.

Wen Yunhong, with an excited look on his face, slowly approached Wen Yuxia, holding a two-pound gold ingot in his hand, and whispered, "Sister, look, isn't this the natural gold you were talking about?"

Wen Yuxia nodded and whispered, "It's so pretty, like a little rabbit. I'll keep it as a family heirloom for you."

Wen Yuxia happily put the rabbit-shaped gold nugget into her spatial storage. At that moment, a deep rumbling sound suddenly came from the depths of the mine. Xia Yichen's expression changed, and he shouted, "The mine has collapsed! Run! The mine has collapsed! Run!"

The miners rushed out of the various mine tunnels. Wen Yuxia secretly tugged at Xia Yichen and winked at him, pointing to a secluded passage to the side, "Go this way."

North One and North Two ran ahead in the direction Wen Yuxia pointed, while South One and South Two pulled Wen Yunhai and Wen Yunqing along to catch up quickly. As they ran, Wen Yuxia pulled a box out of her handbag.

The box contained disposable heated eye masks. He opened the box, took out two eye masks, and handed them to Wen Yunhong: "Give these to my eldest cousin and the others. Tell them they can't remove the eye masks without my permission."

He turned and handed Xia Yichen four more blindfolds, then glanced at An Yi and the others following behind, saying, "You know what I mean."

Xia Yichen took the blindfold, nodded calmly, and turned to An Yi and the others, saying, "Cover your eyes and stand still."

After saying that, he personally put the blindfold on Dark One, and Dark Two, Dark Three, and Dark Four followed suit, quickly putting on their own blindfolds.

Wen Yuxia's hands moved rapidly, and Xia Yichen and the four guards whose arms she touched were instantly teleported into her spatial dimension.

Then, Wen Yuxia turned to look ahead. Wen Yunhai and Wen Yunqing had already been blindfolded with Wen Yunhong's help. She leaped up and placed her hands directly on Wen Yunhai and Wen Yunqing's shoulders.

After sending the Wen brothers into the spatial dimension, Wen Yuxia extended her right hand to Nan Yi and the others, saying, "Give me your hand." Without her prompting, Wen Yunhong obediently stepped forward and took Wen Yuxia's left arm.

Without hesitation, Bei Yi and Bei Er reached out and grasped Wen Yuxia's hands. After a moment's hesitation, Nan Yi and Nan Er simultaneously reached out and grabbed Wen Yuxia's sleeve.

The miners and the men in black were only concerned with escaping for their lives. Everyone noticed that Xia Yichen and the others disappeared from Wen Yuxia's side. Wen Yuxia rushed out of the cave with the crowd and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

Back in the space, Wen Yuxia looked on with amusement at Wen Yunhai and the others, who had been arranged by Wen Yunhong to sit in a row on the sofa eating fruit. The scene was truly hilarious.

Everyone was wearing an eye mask with SpongeBob SquarePants drawn on it, their left hand on their knee, and their right hand mechanically stuffing an apple-pear into their mouths.

"No peeking! Anyone who peeks will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!" While lecturing, Wen Yunhong looked up at Wen Yuxia, playfully stuck out his tongue, and chuckled, "Sister!"

The Wen brothers, Wen Yunhai and Wen Yunqing, had neither martial arts skills nor power. Knowing too many secrets would not benefit them. Wen Yuxia made a gesture to Nan Yi, who quickly walked up to Wen Yunhai and Wen Yunqing and pressed their pressure points to put them to sleep.

Wen Yuxia said softly, "Brother Chen, we can leave here tonight."

Xia Yichen said with a faint smile, "Mu Hua, there's no reason to leave empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain. Before leaving, I need to collect some rewards." He planned to take away all the gold ore, natural gold, and small gold beads that he had dug up in the valley over the past few days.

Wen Yuxia's face lit up with a bright smile. Working for free wasn't her style. Even if Xia Yichen hadn't brought it up tonight, she would have taken advantage of the chaos to steal some gold.

"Great! Everyone who sees it gets a share!" Wen Yuxia said with a smile.

Xia Yichen knew that Wen Yuxia's "everyone who sees it gets a share" referred to everyone present. He nodded slightly and said, "Very well, I will decide and give everyone a small piece of natural gold."

Wen Yuxia smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Crown Prince." This thank you was on behalf of the Wen brothers and Nan Yi and the others.

As for herself, she had already obtained a hundred gold bricks from the Five Tiger Village, so the small piece of natural gold promised by Xia Yichen was dispensable.

In the dead of night, apart from the black-clad men on night duty patrolling the valley, everyone else was fast asleep. Wen Yuxia led Xia Yichen and Nan Yi out of the space.

He then collected all the chalcopyrite, silver ore, and gold ore piled up in the southwest of the valley into his spatial storage, and subsequently took all the natural gold and gold beads from the warehouse.

Looking at the empty warehouse and the grass outside that Wen Yuxia had cleared away, leaving not even a slag behind, Xia Yichen said with satisfaction, "Mu Hua, take us inside!"

Wen Yuxia reached out and pulled the two of them back to the space. Xia Yichen looked at the large pile of ore in front of him and squatted down happily to pick up a gold nugget shaped like a dog's head, weighing about three pounds. "Mu Hua, this is for you. Do you like it?"

"I love it, it's a genuine gold nugget," Wen Yuxia said with a smile as she accepted the gold nugget and thanked Xia Yichen.

Then Xia Yichen found three small gold stones, each weighing about half a pound, and told Wen Yuxia that they were a reward for the three Wen brothers' hard work.

Xia Yichen gave Nan Yi, An Yi, and the others a gold bead weighing no more than one tael.

Finally, Xia Yichen picked out a piece of gold for himself that weighed about the same as Wen Yuxia's gold nugget, and said with a smile, "Mu Hua, only when the country is prosperous can the people be strong. I plan to leave the rest to the Emperor."

Wen Yuxia looked shocked. She thought Xia Yichen was going to embezzle the ore, but she didn't expect him to hand it over. She gave him a thumbs up and said, "I admire you!"
