"Your Majesty, would you like to bring more armored troops?" Kuai Yuanzhong asked.
"The number remains the same, one hundred elite men in armor, with double the amount of talisman explosives, beware of Nian Zhi's desperate attempt to jump over the wall!"
"You and Manager Zhai will inform General Xue later. If necessary, go to the warehouse to collect items with the royal palace's golden order."
…
Maotai Mountain is located on the border of Xiaoyingzhou, 40% of the mountain is in Xiaoyingzhou, and 60% is in Xiaojingzhou, the fiefdom of Guozhang Nianzhi.
Maotai Mountain, an ordinary place that was originally covered with grass and dense forests, became eye-catching due to a landslide ten years ago.
On the Xiaoyingzhou side, the foot of Maotai Mountain collapsed, and the exposed cave was full of spiritual energy. There seemed to be a vein of spiritual stones. The quality of the vein was low, but after survey and trial mining, about five million spiritual stones could be dug out in a year.
With a sudden fortune coming from heaven, Prince Chong immediately dispatched an armored army and capable warriors to closely guard the spiritual mine.
Nian Zhi proposed that most of Maotai Mountain was within the territory of Xiaojingzhou, and he also had a share, demanding an equal share.
Fei Hanhai naturally refused, and the two parties negotiated several times, but to no avail.
"Nian Zhi ordered people to dig a hole on the side of Xiao Jingzhou, but Maotai Mountain is inherently unstable and the mine tunnel is dug too deep and too deep, which can easily cause a complete collapse. The prince has promised to give 30% to the Nian family, but Nian Zhi still refuses. Take the opportunity to cause trouble."
"The two sides agreed to talk again at the base of the mountain after the Tenth Day. It is very likely that they will fight during the quarrel. Everyone must be prepared." Zhai Chengming said.
Xue Tong collected the royal gold medal and went to the treasury.
The government official inspected the gold medal and nameplate and asked, "What does Xue Dutong need?"
Xue Tong worked hard for the prince, so it was natural for him to receive or buy some spiritual objects. He was curious about the level of treasures stored in the treasury of Prince Chong.
"Healing elixir," Xue Tong said.
"There are twelve types of healing pills. The highest grades are Huiyang Pill and Small Nirvana Pill from the fifth grade. You can get one pill with your gold medal. Any more pills need to be purchased at the market price."
"Okay, take one Huiyang Pill and buy a Small Nirvana Pill." Xue Tong paid 100,000 spirit stones and kept two pigeon egg pills. He heard that Prince Chong rewarded Miao Feng with several pills of this grade. Medicine to help him fully heal his injuries.
…
The cultivation level of the one hundred armored troops was not lower than that of the martial arts disciples, and nine of them were captains. Later in the day, Xue Tong lamented that one Chongqin Prince's Palace was worth the entire Yunxiao Sect.
The majestic horses, Huayu chariots, and Prince Chong's palace cavalry cleared the way with flags. The moment they drove out of the imperial city, passers-by all stopped to marvel at the majesty of the royal family.
"Mr. Zhai, if we are so arrogant, we are not afraid of the Nian family being on guard." Xue Tong's carriage and Zhai Chengming were in front of each other, several feet apart, and asked via voice transmission.
"Everyone knows very well that Nian Zhi has been very arrogant in recent years. This time when young prince Tianjian comes forward, the formation is not large enough to show our strength."
"The first three negotiations were all conducted in the Imperial City. This time we went to Maotai Mountain. I feel that both sides are ready to take action if the talks break down."
Xue Tong became increasingly uneasy. It seemed that a fierce fight was inevitable. "So both sides think they can win."
"In addition to him, the Nianzhi clan has three other innates who are at the same level as us. It is also because of you that the prince agreed to negotiate with them, otherwise our strength would be insufficient."
"The Nian family had quarreled many times and went to Lingshi Cave to take a look. As soon as the prince suggested it, he immediately agreed."
"Besides, there are unusual movements near Lingshi Cave, reports of digging holes, and unknown strange sounds and vibrations in the ground. We can just investigate and investigate." Zhai Chengming said.
"Maotai Mountain has not been dug out, it is going to collapse."
"No, but only God knows!"
…
At the border of Xiaoyingzhou, Fei Hanhai's fourth son, Fei Tianyong, led a team to greet him.
The horse team was meandering along the mountain road, with mountains and canyons ahead surrounded by clouds and mist.
"Since the discovery of Lingshi in Maotai Mountain, this nameless gorge has been named Lingshi Valley, with Maotai Mountain at the end." Zhai Chengming reminded.
Eight hundred feet high mountain, blue and white rock mass, a hundred acres of nearby mountains were leveled, and the royal palace was built. They were all wooden buildings. The largest Yingwu Hall was more than ten feet high.
"You stay in the east and wait for Uncle Guo!" Fei Tianjian pointed at the armored army and ordered.
Not far to the north of Xingyuan, there is a large and dense cave at the foot of Maotai Mountain. The weather and scenery above the mine reveal an extraordinary feeling. It is solemn and windless. From time to time, there are very shallow colorful vortices or earthy yellow dust particles that flicker for a few times. , and then quickly disappeared.
"Protective Array"
The entrance of the cave has been reinforced with stone slurry, a stone ladder has been built, and a stone ladder has been built. The cave has been dug horizontally, and the tunnel has been dug along the veins of the spiritual mine. The spiritual energy in the cave is nourishing and pleasant.
"The veins branched, and six mine tunnels were dug, with a total length of more than a hundred miles, and the deepest one went straight into the ground for twelve miles." Zhai Chengming said.
"It's not easy to dig out the open space. My father is willing to share 30% of the money, which is the most benevolent and righteous thing. However, after years of persistence, he is still greedy!" Fei Tianjian said angrily.
The three of them checked for a while and found nothing unusual. Fei Tianjian ordered twice as many light stone lamps to be installed to illuminate the mine tunnel more clearly.
Two mornings later, there was the sound of horse hooves and dust flying in the valley.
The great uncle Nian Shiqi, his father Nian Zhi's general manager Wang Ninghuai, General Jin Xuan, a hundred armored troops, Xiaojing Wang Nian Shiqi, the people who came are the same as those in the palace, the only difference is that Jin Xuan has the highest martial arts level, which is equivalent to Zhai Chengming .
Xue Tong thought with lightning in his mind, "Both the Fei family and the Nian family are successful. Why?"
"Do they all think they have a super strong person who has a guaranteed chance of winning?"
His eyes fell on Jin Xuan.
Jin Xuan looks young, in his mid-thirties, with good talent, eyebrows, a high nose, big eyes, big ears, thin lips, and his white teeth are revealed when he raises his hand in greeting.
"This man has a calm demeanor and a calm mind. He seems to be difficult to deal with. He must be the strongest person on the father-in-law's side."
"As for Prince Chong, I haven't heard that General Manager Zhai has any extraordinary deeds... Could it be that the prince knows my details?" Xue Tong suddenly realized that Fei Ran might have revealed something.
The heavy wooden door was closed, and there were five people sitting on each side of the long table. Outside the Yingwu Hall, the armored troops were separated on the left and right.
The atmosphere instantly solidified, and the pretense of meeting was gone.
"Uncle, it is not easy to mine the spirit mine. Prince Chong Nuo's share can no longer be increased." Fei Tianjian was the first to speak.
"Then let's continue digging tunnels. I don't believe we can't find the veins." Nian Shiqi responded arrogantly.
"You and I are digging holes in the mountains and don't communicate with each other. Don't let the rocky mountain collapse one day."
"We don't care, it's just that some people died." Nian Shiqi shrugged, disapproving.
He is in his thirties, has a delicate skin, looks like an overly drunken playboy, and is notorious.
"You are taking this opportunity to cause trouble, and it is obvious that the spirit stone mine cannot be mined."
"If you can't dig it down, you can't dig it down. It's up to you." Nian Shiqi, who came to negotiate for the first time, acted like a rogue.
The manager, Wang Ninghuai, blinked and made a fool of himself, "Since Uncle Guo is willing to come, there is no room for negotiation. Why don't we all have a competition, win out of three games, and see who wins..."
As he spoke, the Yingwu Hall shook violently several times, and dust flew from the roof.
Everyone frowned.
Wang Ninghuai paused and continued: "Two out of three games, whoever wins will do as he wishes."
"How is it, Lord Fei?" Nian Shi Qiyang said angrily.
"Starting a fight as soon as we disagree. We have already planned it." Xue Tong thought.
"Okay." Fei Tianjian showed no signs of weakness.
"No matter life or death, our general Jinxuan will go on stage first." Wang Huaining did not hesitate and spoke bluntly.
The first battle must be won. Firstly, it is related to morale. Secondly, if one's own side falls, the balance of strength will be seriously tilted, and it may be uprooted by the opponent and the team may be wiped out.
Manager Zhai didn't say a word. Logically speaking, he was of the same level as Jin Xuan, so he would go on the stage without hesitation.
The two sides have been at a stalemate for ten years, and the strength of their opponents has been known for a long time. It is said that Jin Xuan's military power has reached the late stage of innateness. Zhai Chengming did not expect that the negotiations would reach a deadlock at the beginning, and it would become a one-on-one duel.
Just as he was opening his mouth, Fei Tianjian said: "Our Commander Xue is here. Commander Xue, if you win, you will win. If you cannot win, then you will admit defeat."
As soon as Fei Tianjian said this, Xue Tong immediately understood that Prince Chong had learned the rumors about Wanyu from Fei Ran. The only question was how far Fei Ran had spoken.
Fei Tianjian learned from his father that Xue Tong killed the late Xiantian in Wanyu and refused his sister but wanted to serve the Fei family. He must have a guilty heart and fight for the palace, so he can be a rare soldier.
"Your Majesty, everything has been settled, so I will repay him as the situation arises. We owe nothing to each other!" Xue Tong laughed when he thought of this, and said, "The young prince has ordered me to do my best."
Zhai Chengming was suspicious, but the young prince must not have made up his mind on the spot, so he held back and remained silent.
"Don't think that leaving the stronger ones behind will give you a chance to make a comeback. Playing tricks is useless!" Nian Shiqi warned.
"What, General Jin has stage fright?" Fei Tianjian said sarcastically, too lazy to be verbose.
"I'm just trying to learn Commander Xue's clever move." Jin Xuan remained as calm as ever.
The hall door is wide open.
In the empty campground, Jin Xuan patted the pet bag, and a majestic Jin Yan lion jumped out.
The golden mane made a hunting sound, and the bloody mouth roared angrily.
Xue Tong chuckled, and the three spiritual pets flew out one after another, leaving everyone stunned.
"General Jin, it's better to put away the greyhound. I'm worried that your decades of hard work will be ruined in one day."
The Golden Lion is at the same level as the Bone Puppet, but the Bone Puppet holds a top-quality magic weapon, not to mention the help of a violent ape and a hawk.
The expressions of those who were not optimistic about Xue Tong changed slightly.
Jin Xuan obediently took back the Jin Yan Spirit Lion.
"This person assesses the situation without compromising his face. He is a real talent!" Xue Tong sighed secretly.
Jin Xuan waved his palm, and dark clouds gathered above Xue Tong's head, pouring down thunder and lightning waterfalls.
He was cautious and used magic to test first.
Of course Xue Tong knew that it was a matter of life and death, so how dare he hold it high? He raised his palms to the sky, and a golden light curtain spread out above his head to catch the rumbling thunder.
He rubbed his fingers together, and a huge rock hammer suddenly hit Jin Xuan's head.
But at this moment, there was a loud boom in the direction of the mine, and blue-white lime rose several feet high.
But the fierce battle on the field had just begun. Everyone turned their heads and glanced, and then focused on Xue Jin and Xue Jin again.
Jin Xuan's figure flashed, and he moved forward a few feet in an instant. The rock hammer fell into the air, and he stabbed quickly with the silver spear in his hand, the magic weapon "Silver Gang Divine Spear".
Even for royal warriors, magic weapons are hard to come by. Jin Xuan once competed with Nian Zhi's fifth brother and tied with the late warriors at the mid-level martial arts level, so he was regarded as someone who could defeat Zhai Chengming.
It's a pity that he met Xue Tong.
Once Xue Tong takes action, he will not let him leave alive. If he kills this person, half of the matter in Prince Chong's Mansion will be solved.
The swords and magic weapons in Xue Tong's storage bracelet all appeared, and Qingming Ju blasted out with great force.
Four high-end magic weapons were suddenly dispatched, and viewers ten feet away felt strong fluctuations in magic power.
Rumble!
The array on the mine exploded, radiating light, and the head of a strange insect poked out from the dust and dust!
