However, Li Zhao didn't care. He wasn't afraid even if he was one of the Three Dukes. In fact, there were no Three Dukes anymore. Feng Quji was imprisoned, and Feng Jie could not be trusted by His Majesty, so he was considered useless. As for the Taiwei, he didn't know much about it. But someone who is highly valued by His Majesty should not come here to act wild.
The big shot might be a bandit or something.
He clearly has hundreds of people in his hands, but Wan Shan is still so unscrupulous, but it can be guessed that the big shot he mentioned must have more people.
In the previous chaotic period, it was normal for so many bandits to emerge.
If it was a bandit, he would have to be careful.
If it were ordinary bandits, he would not be afraid, but if there were a large number of bandits, it would be a bit tricky. In the past, when fighting bandits, they relied on advanced weapons. Of course, that would have to be done when the number was extremely small. If there were a large number of bandits, , it’s better not to mess with him, after all, he has no mission to exterminate the bandits.
Before that, he had to find out how many bandits there were and why they were here? If it's not important, he'd better leave early to avoid getting into trouble.
"Catch Wan Shan here."
If you want to ask for useful information, you can only get it from Wan Shan.
"No!" Several guards from the trading company took action together and dragged Wan Shan over.
This huge figure would have been difficult to capture if he hadn't been injured.
"Do you want to live?" Li Zhao asked Wan Shan without talking nonsense. Wan Shan was a tough person and responded, "Nonsense, who doesn't want to live, but you can't decide my life."
"Really? If I kill you right now, do you think you can make the decision?"
Wan Shan was completely indifferent and said fearlessly: "Of course you can kill me, but you don't dare."
"Why?" Li Zhao became interested and felt that there must be strong support behind Wan Shan, otherwise he would not be so tough.
"As long as you dare to kill me, this village will cease to exist and you will all die."
The tone of "die" was strengthened to show his confidence.
"So, there are many people you call big shots?"
"It will definitely kill you."
"Yes, I can definitely kill you. Just kowtow to us obediently. Maybe Master Wan Shan will ask the big shot to let you go." The woman interrupted, looking at Li Zhao with such contempt.
Li Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to her and continued to ask Wan Shan: "I don't understand. This is just a poor village. Why do you have to send so many people here."
"Did you think I would say that?"
Wan Shan remained silent, showing a calm attitude.
Li Zhao's expression changed and he shouted: "You don't have to say anything, as long as you are not afraid of death."
"Come here!" He signaled to the guard beside him, not wanting to talk nonsense to Wan Shan.
The guard understood, and one of them stepped forward, drew his sword, and stabbed Wan Shan in the leg.
My leg was already injured, but after this, it really got worse. I screamed, "You, how dare you hurt me?"
Before Wan Shan could finish his words, another sword pierced the other thigh, causing him to roll on the ground in pain and spurt out a large amount of blood, which was so embarrassing.
"I said, say!"
No matter how tough a man is, he can't resist such torture. Although Wan Shan is tough, he can't resist the threat to his life. If he keeps stabbing like this, he will die.
He really didn't expect that the person who could smash him to pieces with one hand could be so ruthless and kill him without saying a word.
No matter how stubborn a person is, there will be times when they become timid.
Li Zhao smiled, leaned closer and asked, "Tell me!"
"For the black water that catches fire."
Black water that catches fire?
When Li Zhao heard this, he was startled.
Isn’t the black water that can catch fire just oil? But, that’s not right! From what I learned in my previous life, it seems that no oil resources have been discovered in the Guanzhong area, let alone in Peixian County.
However, Wan Shan's words don't seem to be false. After all, if he lies at this moment, it will not benefit him. That would be strange. Could oil appear out of thin air, or is the black water that can catch fire not oil?
Impossible. Judging from the knowledge gained in previous lives, the only black water that can catch fire is oil. Da Qin will not produce oil-related resources out of thin air!
However, this news aroused great interest in Li Zhao. He originally wanted to leave after asking Wan Shan questions, but now he was in no hurry to leave.
Maybe my previous life’s knowledge was very limited and I didn’t know that oil existed secretly in Xianyang, or maybe the oil field was too small and had been completely developed long ago, so it didn’t appear in the world!
Anyway, this news is a good thing.
At that time, he planned to send people out to search for oil when the construction of Shanglinyuan reached a certain level, but what a coincidence now! If it is really oil, then there are many things that can be done next.
But there was one question that he was confused about.
Even if there is oil stored here, there is no need to send so many people here!
In fact, oil has been discovered in Daqin at present, but its development is limited. At best, it can only be used as a burning object or a weapon of war.
In fact, a lot of oil is used on the battlefield, but it is nothing more than it, and it is not a very precious thing. Is it worth sending so many people out for something that is not very precious?
"It's just Black Water, why did we send out so many people and surround the village?"
"Because the people in Linxian County also discovered that there is black water here, they also plan to attack tonight and completely capture the village. As a last resort, my brother ordered me to lead people to guard it."
I see!
This must be a resource grab among the bandits! Although oil has not been opened up, it is the best thing to compete for territory. Moreover, there is no oil in the Guanzhong area. Once it is discovered, competition is inevitable.
hey-hey! It's okay if you don't know, but if you know, you won't allow them to rob it.
"Is it coming tonight? How will you deal with it?"
"Also, your eldest brother is the big shot you call him, right?"
Wan Shan completely lost his confidence and answered all questions: "The big shot is my eldest brother. The eldest brother is planning to send thousands of people to attack the people of Linxian. I will bring a few hundred people here first. The eldest brother will arrive tonight."
"I see!"
