Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 410

Chapter 410: Chu Xin: Don’t Worry, Let Me Check the Strategies First

On a large mountain north of the city, Chu Xin and Chu Chen overlooked the mineral vein below. The Long Province cultivator beside them respectfully said, “Masters, this is it. The dungeon is right beneath this ground.”

“That’s not right. Why are there so few guards at this mineral vein?”

The other Long Province cultivators trapped in the God Coffin space observed the mineral vein through the God Coffin’s projection.

This was a high-grade spirit stone mine. In the past, the security was very tight. Today, the guards were so lax. This was clearly abnormal.

“Could it be that the Provincial Governor knows that the two brats are coming to break into the prison, so he deliberately relaxed his vigilance, but in fact, he has already set up an inescapable net?”

One of the Long Province cultivators guessed.

“I think it’s very likely.”

The other Long Province cultivators nodded in agreement.

“This is going to be interesting.”

The few of them exchanged glances, and they could all see a hint of excitement in each other’s eyes.

If there was indeed an ambush, they might be able to escape.

Although they had given directions to the two children, they had not committed any substantial act of betrayal. Presumably, the Provincial Governor would let them off the hook.

As for their companion who had been affixed with a puppet talisman, bringing the brats to this high-grade spirit stone mine was already a substantial act of betrayal. He was probably in deep trouble.

“Big Sister, let’s go. Let’s just rush in and rescue Mother.”

Outside the God Coffin, Chu Chen said impatiently.

Seeing that “Mother” was right in front of him, Chu Chen couldn’t help himself.

They had been out for so long and had gone through so much just to rescue their mother. Now, it was finally about to happen.

Chu Xin waved her hand, looked at the sparse guards in the spirit stone mine, thought for a moment, and said, “Don’t worry, let me check the Thirty-Six Stratagems first.”

With that, she took out the 《Thirty-Six Stratagems》 and began to read it carefully.

Seeing this, Chu Chen could only sit aside, drinking his beast milk while waiting patiently.

Although he believed that with their strength, they could just rush in, he didn’t dare to act rashly without his sister’s command.

The Long Province cultivator who had been affixed with a puppet talisman stood respectfully aside, not saying a word.

“Found it.”

Suddenly, Chu Xin exclaimed excitedly, “There must be an ambush here.”

“An ambush?”

Chu Chen jumped up from the ground, stared at the mineral vein below, and asked doubtfully, “I don’t see any ambush. Big Sister, how do you know?”

In the mineral vein, apart from some sparse guards, there were only a group of prisoners wearing prison uniforms, shackles, and with their cultivation sealed, working hard to dig for spirit stones.

As for any ambush, he really didn’t see any.

Chu Xin handed the 《Thirty-Six Stratagems》 to Chu Chen, pointed to a picture, and said, “The book says that enemies often set up heavy ambushes in the most important places. In order to make people relax their vigilance, they will remove some of the guards. On the surface, the security looks lax, but once you rush in, you will be met with overwhelming attacks that are impossible to defend against.”

Chu Chen looked at the picture, didn’t understand it, looked at the mineral vein below, still didn’t understand it, and looked confused.

In the God Coffin, the Long Province cultivators looked at each other, feeling shocked and speechless.

Was this brat really less than five years old? Could she be some big shot who had reverted to their childhood?

Ordinary children of a few years old wouldn’t think so much.

The brat wearing the dragon mask was the one who had the reaction and cognition that should be at this age.

This brat wearing the phoenix mask was really a bit too outrageous.

At this time, Chu Xin pointed to the mineral vein again and said, “This is a high-grade spirit stone mine. I heard Village Chief Grandpa say before that the highest grade of spirit stones is the high-grade. They must be very precious. Such a precious treasure must be guarded by many people. But look at the guards here, so few, it’s very wrong.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Although Chu Chen still didn’t understand, in order not to be scolded by his sister, he nodded his head pretending to understand.

Chu Xin glanced at Chu Chen in surprise and said, “Little Brother, you actually understood?”

Chu Chen’s eyes widened, and he said angrily, “I understood that sentence, Big Sister is calling me stupid.”

Chu Xin smiled and said, “No, how could my little brother be stupid? He just doesn’t like to read. It will be fine if you read more books when we go back.”

Chu Chen’s lips moved, but he didn’t know what to say.

Chu Xin asked again, “Little Brother, did you really understand?”

“Uh! I understood a little.”

Chu Chen stretched out his chubby little hand, pinched his thumb and index finger, leaving a nail-thin gap between them, and said with a little guilt, “Just this little bit.”

Chu Xin said with a gratified expression, “This child is teachable. I told you my little brother is not stupid at all.”

“Hehe.”

Chu Chen scratched his head and chuckled.

Chu Xin put the 《Thirty-Six Stratagems》 back into the spatial ring, turned to look at the mineral vein, put her hands behind her back, raised her head, and said confidently, “There must be an ambush here, and there are many, many people ambushed. We can’t walk into a net ourselves.”

“Yes, yes!”

Chu Chen nodded repeatedly. He understood the phrase “walk into a net” this time. His sister had already explained it last time. This time, he nodded his head very happily, without any guilt.

“Then how do we get in?” Chu Chen looked at the mineral vein and asked doubtfully.

Chu Xin put her hands behind her back, walked around the top of the mountain, and said profoundly, “Don’t worry, Little Brother, I have a clever plan. Let’s go down the mountain.”

Then, she took Chu Chen to the foot of the mountain. With a wave of her fair little hand, dense puppet mice appeared and began to dig holes at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said in surprise, “Big Sister, are we going to dig a tunnel underground?”

Chu Xin nodded and said proudly, “Yes, they definitely won’t expect us to dig a tunnel directly.”

“Yes, yes! Big Sister is so smart.”

Chu Chen looked worshipful, and then he also took out dense puppet mice and joined the ranks of digging holes.

He also took out his own small treasure-digging hoe, sticking out her butt, and began to dig.

The Long Province cultivators in the God Coffin were speechless. Only brats could come up with the idea of digging a tunnel.

How could such an important place not be guarded underground? The dungeon’s restrictions covered the sky, the ground, and the underground, leaving no gaps.

At this time, Chu Xin waved her fair little hand and released the two-headed piglet who was refining the Illusion Phoenix core in the God Coffin. She pointed to the ground and said, “Little Pig, don’t be idle. Dig the soil.”

The two-headed piglet blinked its two pairs of narrow pig eyes and said speechlessly, “Big Sister, I’m about to completely refine the core. You’re asking me to dig soil? When I completely refine the core, I will be an eighth-rank late-stage demon beast. I can help you fight.”

Chu Xin rolled her big eyes and said, “What’s the use of being an eighth-rank late-stage? Can you withstand this punch of mine?”

As she spoke, she waved her fair little fist, the threat was self-evident.

“I can’t!”

The two-headed piglet swallowed, its small body flashed, and it appeared beside Chu Chen. It vigorously waved its two front dragon claws and quickly dug the soil.

“That’s more like it.”

Chu Xin nodded with satisfaction, put the Long Province cultivator who had been affixed with a puppet talisman back into the God Coffin, and then took out her own small treasure-digging hoe, sticking her butt out, and started digging.
