Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1258 - 1167: Lady Minister 106



At this moment, Gao Ya no longer had her previous captivating beauty. Her forehead was a bloody mess, her face was covered with blood, and it was tinted with tears down to her neck, looking somewhat frighteningly shocking.

The anger that Yin Shuangshuang initially had in her heart had long disappeared because Yin Shuangshuang could understand Gao Ya’s mindset; if she were in her position, she might be even more crazed.

The most important reason was that everything was within her control, so Yin Shuangshuang actually didn’t care much about this matter.

It’s like having a little pet; it has to bite and cause pain for you to get angry. If it doesn’t hurt, it’s just playful teasing, not real anger.

Looking at Gao Ya, whose face was covered in tears and was stubbornly refusing to stand up despite Wei Yingnan’s assistance, Yin Shuangshuang sighed softly and said, "Rest assured, even if you don’t ask me, I won’t let them go.

But you’ve been around them for so long, how much do you know about the gold mine? Tell me everything you know."

When Gao Ya heard Yin Shuangshuang say she wouldn’t let Chai Pengfei and the others go, she finally stood up with Wei Yingnan’s help, wiped her tears, and couldn’t help but sob.

"I don’t know the exact location of the gold mine either. Although Chai Pengfei dotes on me, he never takes me to the gold mine. To avoid suspicion, I dared not ask.

However, I know a little. Years ago, when the barbarians harassed the border, Chai Pengfei secretly captured many common people into the deep mountains, claiming they were killed by barbarians, but they were actually forced to mine for them.

Those constables from the county government were divided into two shifts, taking turns overseeing the mining by the common people. This time, when you took office, those constables deliberately avoided the county government, but under the arrest officer’s lead, went to the gold mine to oversee the mining.

Upon hearing Gao Ya’s words, everyone was furious, especially Yang Yixuan, who had faced barbarians in battle and despised them deeply, not expecting someone to exploit the barbarians’ chaos to harm the common people.

Yang Yixuan was quite temperamental; otherwise, he wouldn’t have impulsively defied orders and slaughtered those barbarians.

At this point, he exploded, kicked Chai Pengfei rolling over several times.

Glaring at the tightly bound Chai Feipeng, he cursed, "You’re not fit to be human!" Yang Yixuan’s kick was strong enough to nearly send Chai Pengfei off the cliff.

Terrified, Chai Pengfei forgot his anger, breaking into cold sweat as he clung to the cliffside, trembling and inching inward, afraid of falling and dying.

Gao Ya laughed loudly at Chai Pengfei’s miserable state, "Are you afraid of death now? Did you ever think that you would face this day when you pushed my father off here! Haha! This is retribution!"

Yang Yixuan sneered, "Such a person can’t be called human, merely a beast. If it were on the battlefield, I’d have cut off his head!"

Yin Shuangshuang remained calm because, in her eyes, Chai Pengfei was already dead, unworthy of her anger.

"Lord Yang, the only mountain range around Qinglin County is here. If the gold mine truly exists, it couldn’t escape this location. I’d like to trouble Lord Yang to bring soldiers to help search for the mine’s position."

"No problem, I’ll take people there right away. Lord Yin is weak, not suited for exertion, so please wait here." Yang Yixuan agreed readily.

"Then it’s all up to Lord Yang. If the gold mine is found, it would be a great merit, saving countless common people from calamity. I will surely report to the Emperor to reward Lord Yang."

Yang Yixuan was swift in action, promptly leaving with his men. Yan Yi and Ying Yi came over to surround Yin Shuangshuang; it was cold outside, and there was no carriage for shelter, so people formed a circle for warmth.

Several Yan Team members fetched a lot of dry firewood and lit a bonfire, allowing Yin Shuangshuang to sit by the fire for warmth. Wei Yingnan sat behind Yin Shuangshuang, shielding her from the cold wind.

Yin Shuangshuang’s fingers began to tremble slightly; despite the warming weather, it was still cold, and her frail body couldn’t tolerate prolonged exposure.

Having lingered too long, Yin Shuangshuang’s body couldn’t stand it anymore, compounded by the mountain’s colder climate, she felt her body chilling, her little finger stiffening.

Yin Shuangshuang invited Gao Ya over to the fire for warmth, but Gao Ya had her back to the fire, as her injuries prevented her from facing the heat; it would hurt the wounds.

Fortunately, Yin Shuangshuang knew they might have conflicts with Chai Pengfei’s men, resulting in injuries, so she’d brought medicine for wounds and treated Gao Ya’s injuries.

She coughed softly, suppressing her coughs. Yin Shuangshuang sensed a coldness radiating from her body, shivering twice involuntarily, the fire seemed less warm.

Things weren’t looking good; Yin Shuangshuang covered her mouth and coughed again, closed her eyes, and tried to use her spiritual power to gather spiritual energy into her body.

Due to busyness these past days, she’d had no time to absorb spiritual energy, leaving her body weaker.

When Yin Shuangshuang opened her eyes again, she found the surrounding temperature much warmer. Yan Yi and Ying Yi had shielded her from wind and snow using shields.

With a bonfire in the center, it became much warmer, plus she had the fur-trimmed mandarin cloak Wei Yingnan wore out.

After absorbing some spiritual energy, Yin Shuangshuang felt much more comfortable, taking off the cloak and draping it over Wei Yingnan, smiling, "Thank you, Ying Nan, I’m much better now."

Wei Yingnan refused to wear the cloak, "Sister Shuangshuang, as a martial artist, I’m not bothered by cold. You’re frail, and this cloak keeps you warm.

Be careful not to get sick, or Doctor Ying and Imperial Doctor Heng Yue will be angry, and you wouldn’t want to be punished by them teaming up."

Before Yin Shuangshuang could say more, Wei Yingnan firmly draped the cloak over her.

Yin Shuangshuang couldn’t refuse, especially as Wei Yingnan seemed unfazed by the cold, she didn’t resist further, just instructed to add more firewood, making the fire burn stronger.

Before long, Yang Yixuan returned searching for the gold mine, bringing along a group of tattered, dazed, blank-eyed common people who looked like walking corpses.

Yang Yixuan was furious, storming toward Chai Feipeng as he approached, kicking him violently!
