The night is already dark.
Candlelights were still lit in the surrounding tents, and there were conversations in each tent, sometimes low, sometimes high-pitched.
The man in brocade clothes led the guards around the camp and walked towards the foot of Tianfeng Mountain.
Feiyun carried a lighting lantern and followed behind, "Your Majesty, do you want to see the iron mine?"
"Yes." The man walked with his hands behind his back, his steps steady and unhurried.
"The prince is still suspecting that the iron ore that appeared in Tianfeng Mountain was caused by Su Jiuni? But the people who went to Youshan to investigate came back and reported that there was nothing unusual there. There were no new signs of excavation in the mines, and there was no collapse of the mountains. .”
"But the results of the investigation into the mine are wrong with my original estimate. The Pluto iron was not completely mined at the time. I once calculated that if all the iron ore was mined, it would cost at least a thousand tons."
Feiyun was speechless, and the spies sent out specially opened the mine to inspect the inside. The remaining iron ore in Youshan... No, there is no iron ore in Youshan anymore. At best, there is only a layer of ore skin left.
The corner of his mouth moved, and after a while he said, "If the prince guessed, then how did Su Jiuni do it? How did she move the iron ore from Youshan to Tianfeng Mountain? This, this is simply impossible!"
"There are so many wonders in the world, but we think they are impossible because we have never seen them with our own eyes. But just because we haven't seen them, doesn't mean they don't exist."
In the deep night, Tianfeng Mountain is hidden in the night like a huge beast that does not show its true face, dormant quietly.
Walking into the small mountain col and around a small bend, you can see the mine.
It was dug out by the camp during this period. The mine has been dug for more than ten feet, and all that is seen is ore.
There is no adulteration, it is the real mineral.
At this moment, there were guards guarding the entrance of the cave, torches were burning next to it, there was also a faint light coming from the mine, and there was the sound of mining deep in the cave.
When the guard saw the man coming, he immediately bowed and saluted, "I have met the prince!"
The man waved his hand towards them, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
He only stood at the entrance of the cave for a moment, then turned back to the mountain col to look at the earth dragon that was arched out by the iron man, thinking deeply.
When Feiyun saw this, he called tentatively, "Your Majesty?"
The man smiled and stared at the earth dragon, his smile not reaching his eyes. "The iron man who can escape from the earth has indeed made me curious."
They had buried the iron guards who had stayed in Youshan to guard the mine, and they would not have escaped.
"...a divine weapon?" The man murmured in a low voice, and his deep black eyes finally burst into light, "Hehehehe!"
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you don't have it.
He almost hit a dead end.
The map of the divine weapons was torn into pieces and fell into the hands of various countries in fragments. They were all holding it tightly for fear of being snatched away and put together into the whole map.
So far, he has only collected two in his hands. In order to achieve his goal, one of them was sent out for fishing and was delivered to Su Jiuni through Guiyi Pavilion.
At that time, Du Buguo was with Su Jiuni. As long as he was around, he would definitely steal wherever he went.
Unexpectedly, it may not be necessary to collect all the magic weapon maps to find the magic weapon.
The magic weapon...has appeared a long time ago.
Wuhetai!
How dare you lie to him!
The man's smile faded and his eyes darkened, "Feiyun, send someone to Kongliu Island to control the Wu family and see if you can get any clues about the sword soul from them."
"Your Majesty, Wu Hetai has been crazy for a long time. In the past two years, my subordinates sent people to diagnose and treat him. The cause of his madness could not be found, and there was no cure."
"There is more than one Wu Hetai in the Wu family. It's good to be able to ask for clues. If you can't find out, just kill him. I'm not in a good mood right now."
"Yes, I will take care of it when I get back." Feiyun hesitated for a moment, but did not say what was in his heart.
Only Wu Hetai in the entire Wu family knows the news about the sword soul.
Others only knew that there was such a useful guard in the family, but they didn't know the details at all.
Wu Hetai was also an old thief. He was probably afraid that his family would be in danger if they knew too much, so he kept everything about Sword Soul secret, not even telling his mother or son.
Now that the prince has given the order, he temporarily invites someone to try again.
I really didn't dare to say anything more at this moment, which would make the prince even more unhappy.
The next day, in the specially built large tent, after listening to Ji Xintang's words, officials from various countries were quiet for a long time before they came back to their senses.
After the silence comes the commotion.
There are those who want to push even further, and there are those who know not to push too far.
In the end, the east wind prevails over the west wind, and those who give up when things go well win once.
The temptation of the magic weapon is too great.
Even if they only catch one, when they study out the key secrets of the magic weapon, are they afraid that they won't be able to follow the same pattern and make more magic weapons?
Compared with this, the iron mine seems insignificant.
In all the countries in the Central Plains, who doesn’t have some iron ore in their territory?
Besides, the ownership of Shu Road actually has nothing to do with other countries.
The countries connected by the border with Shu Road are Darong and Lingjiang.
Re-discussing the issue of the ownership of the Shu Road, only Darong and Lingjiang benefited in the end. Other countries couldn't benefit from it, so why bother to sacrifice their own interests to make wedding clothes for others.
Moreover, Beixiang is the leader of the great powers in the Central Plains, and it is also the country with the most dependent small countries. If we really want to get into a fight, I dare not say whether the countries can really get benefits. I can only talk about the consequences of the war, which is not what the countries want. have witnessed.
War is not something that those in power can decide with just a few words. There are too many factors and consequences that need to be considered.
"The entire Shu Road is thousands of miles long. Since we have reached an agreement to arrest the magic soldiers, without further delay, I propose to divide the area and arrest each one. No one is allowed to cross the border! Three months is not long, so don't argue at this time. What do you think?" someone suggested.
It immediately sparked heated discussions.
Ji Xintang stood aside and stayed out of the incident. As the commander of Beixiang, the prince decided that they wanted iron ore, so there was no need to fight for the magic soldiers. The eight remaining eight kingdoms corresponded to the eight magic soldiers.
So he has nothing to do here.
When he was about to leave, his eyes wandered casually, and he found that there was someone in the noisy tent who was as calm and independent as him.
It's Mo Liren.
The two looked at each other, and Mo Liren immediately put a smile on his face, and walked happily to Ji Xintang, "Commander Ji, Beixiang is so grand, Mo admires it!"
"They are all fighting over which area they want, but Commander Mo is able to keep his composure and not fight for it. Ji also admires his character."
Mo Liren clicked his tongue, spread his hands and said helplessly, "Aren't you kidding Mo? Among these people, Mo is the least talkative. Even if I want to say something, who would be willing to listen? It's better to just wait for them to finish picking and leave the rest. Naturally, it belongs to me, Yunqin. Who made Yunqin a small country? Alas."
Ji Xintang smiled and said nothing.
This old loach is really slippery.
But it's hard to find fault with him.
No wonder Yun Qin would send such a person here. In terms of benefits, Mo Liren may not get the best, but in terms of losses, he is definitely not the one who suffers the most.
Before, I had underestimated this person.
He is not the reckless man that everyone thinks he is.
