When the sun was about to set, Su Yu, who was sitting in the study, put down the "Collection of Romantic Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty" in his hand, stretched his arms, and then got up and walked home.
Just as he walked out of the gate of Zhenwu Division, one of Wei Lianyi's personal guards quickly caught up with him.
The guard quickly said: "Master Su, Master Wei has summoned you to come over."
Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and he wanted to wait for his own time to find him after get off work, right?
As he turned around and walked towards the Zhenfu Mansion, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what's going on with Mr. Wei?"
"I don't know the specific situation very well."
The guard shook his head, and then continued: "Master Wei rushed to the palace immediately after receiving a secret letter. When he came back, he said that he would summon you and the other three masters of Qianhu."
"I heard from Zhenwuwei, who is responsible for receiving secret messages, that something happened to a Yuanjing mine in Liangzhou."
Something happened to the Yuanjing Mine?
Su Yu looked startled.
In ancient times, the vitality between heaven and earth was so rich that even the rain falling from the sky had extremely rich vitality.
It is also thanks to the gift of that era that in many valleys, a large amount of the vitality of heaven and earth is deposited and gathered into vitality rivers, which wash away the stones under the river bed.
Over the years, those stones were invaded by vitality, and were covered under the surface along with the terrain, turning into pieces of Yuanjing that would be needed for future generations to practice.
The Yuanjing mineral vein is a pillar economic industry of the imperial court.
Yuan Jing is also a non-renewable cultivation resource. There are only so many in the Wei Dynasty. Once they are mined, they are gone.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Yuanjing from being mined all at once.
In addition, if there are too many yuan crystals, their prices will fall, and the imperial court will control mining to a certain extent every year.
Just like oil in the previous life was the hard currency of the world, Yuanjing in this world is the main currency of trade between the three countries.
But because there are only so many of them, once the Yuan Jing is mined in Jiuzhou of the Great Wei Dynasty and the warriors have no training resources, it will inevitably cause the martial arts warriors to migrate to the other two countries to achieve better development.
The existence of Yuanjing also allows warriors in the world to hunt monsters, and then borrow valuable items from the monsters in exchange for Yuanjing, thus promoting various trades.
These monster meats can improve some people's vitality and lay the foundation for becoming warriors.
There is another extremely important reason why the imperial court controls the mining of Yuanjing.
That is, once too many yuan crystals flow into the rivers and lakes, the strength of the warriors in the rivers and lakes will be greatly increased.
When a warrior's personal strength increases, that person's desires will also be amplified, causing chaos in the public security of Kyushu.
Under various circumstances, it became even more important for the imperial court to control the mining of Yuanjing veins.
If there is too little mining, the supply of Yuan Jing will exceed the demand, causing warriors in the world to have to go to other countries to develop.
Excessive mining will lead to oversupply of Yuanjing, causing the market price of Yuanjing to fall, increasing the overall strength of Jianghu warriors, and leading to turmoil in Kyushu.
Anyway, in one sentence, if something happens to the Yuanjing mine, it must be no small matter.
Walking on the way to Zhenfu Mansion, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. It would be too miserable if we went on a business trip tonight, right?
Who is not having a family reunion at home?
"I hope that bitch will take the other three guys on a business trip and ignore me. My cultivation level is low and I can't be of much help. I just want to stay behind and take care of the rear."
Su Yu cursed in his heart.
With this idea in mind, Su Yu came to Zhenfu Mansion.
Liang Yuxuan and three others were already waiting in the yard.
Seeing Su Yu coming over, the three of them couldn't help but give a sad smile.
Su Yu smiled bitterly and nodded, and the four of them walked into Wei Lianyi's study.
"grown ups!"
The four of them clasped their fists together and bowed, and said respectfully.
"Um!"
Wei Lianyi nodded, then looked around and said in a deep voice: "Just two hours ago, news came back from Liangzhou Zhenwu Division."
"About a month ago, the Yuanjing mine located in Wutong Valley, Tianhuang City, Liangzhou, was attacked by a group of mysterious people. This group of people surrounded the entire mine, guarded it to the death, and shot down the two Yuyue Realm warriors guarding the mine. Kill and force the workers responsible for mining Yuanjing to work day and night to dig out the entire Yuanjing vein in Wutong Valley."
"Then this group of mysterious people buried more than two hundred workers responsible for mining Yuanjing alive in the Yuanjing veins in order to hide their eyes."
When he said this, Wei Lianyi's pretty face was already covered with frost.
The inhumane actions of this group of mysterious people undoubtedly made her hate them to the extreme.
She continued: "This incident only occurred at noon today. The team responsible for escorting Yuan Jing went to Wutong Valley, but found that the entire Wutong Valley was empty."
"Liangzhou Town Wusi got the news and immediately arranged for people to rush to Wutong Valley. Most of the workers who mined Yuanjing had starved to death in the mines. Only a dozen people survived."
When Su Yu and the other four heard this, they couldn't help but shudder.
No one knows how long they were trapped in the mine.
And there is no food in it. If you want to live for such a long time, you may have to treat other people as food.
Wei Lianyi said again: "I have reported this matter to Your Majesty. Your Majesty was furious after hearing about it and ordered me to investigate the matter with full authority."
Su Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This group of mysterious people were so bold that they even dared to steal it from the imperial court.
However, since this group of mysterious people dared to steal the Yuanjing mineral vein, they must have made adequate preparations.
Liangzhou is so vast, how easy is it to find these people?
The most important thing is that the specific strength of this group of people is not clear. No one knows what will happen if they rush to investigate.
Especially thinking about the last time Tianxuan City and his party hunted the King of Hell and Wei Lianyi was assassinated, Su Yu felt that it was best not to follow Wei Lianyi out.
In this way, even if something happens to Wei Lianyi, he can be picked out perfectly.
Su Yu couldn't help but start thinking about how he could persuade Liang Yuxuan and the others to participate in this investigation mission, and then remove himself
Wei Lianyi said in a deep voice: "The looting of the Yuanjing mine caused the imperial court to lose tens of millions."
"His Majesty has ordered two commanders, Qinglong and Zhuque, to rush to Liangzhou to assist me in investigating this matter."
"I called the four of you here because I need two thousand households to assist me in investigating the robbery of the Wutong Valley Yuanjing vein."
"Among the four of you, who will go with me?"
Su Yu was the first to speak: "Sir, I have a low cultivation level and have very few opportunities to help you. I am willing to stay in Jingzhou and take care of the rear for you."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Liang Yuxuan and the others couldn't help but twitch.
You obviously want to fish at home, right?
The three of them were full of slander.
There is still one spot left for fishing, and Liang Yuxuan and the other three can't help but look at each other.
Before He Bohong and Sun Xicui could speak first, Liang Yuxuan stood up quickly and said quickly: "Sir, one of my concubines is about to give birth. I want to witness the birth of this little guy at home..."
The looting of this Yuanjing vein is really of great importance.
Moreover, the last time Wei Lianyi was assassinated in Tianxuan City, it undoubtedly left a psychological shadow on him.
Wei Lianyi had a trump card to save his life, but they didn't have it.
Who can guarantee that Wei Lianyi will not be assassinated by assassins when he goes to Liangzhou?
If what happened last time happens again and Wei Lianyi encounters any unexpected events, can they afford it?
Su Yu was a smart guy, and Liang Yuxuan felt that he had to follow suit if he didn't want to get involved.
The faces of the remaining He Bohong and Sun Xichui turned green.
Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "Okay, Sun Xicui and He Bohong, you two will prepare. Each will lead five hundred households and gather at the north gate of Tai'an City in three hours."
"This matter is of great importance. Liangzhou is a long way away. I will ride Jin Yupeng directly to Liangzhou!"
Although Sun Xicui and He Bohong had thousands of reluctances in their hearts, they had no choice but to comply at this moment.
Who told me not to say something in advance?
Wei Lianyi looked at Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan, and then ordered: "Su Yu, Liang Yuxuan, you two will stay in Tai'an City. You two will discuss and arrange all the affairs of the Zhenwu Division."
"yes!"
Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan responded in unison.
"Okay, you all go back."
At Wei Lianyi's signal, Su Yu and the four of them looked at each other and then walked out of the study.
"Brother Sun, Brother He, I hope you will pay more attention to the fact that the Yuanjing mine has been robbed."
Looking at the sad expressions of Sun Xicui and He Bohong, Su Yu chuckled and said, "I'll just congratulate the two eldest brothers on their triumphant return in advance."
"When the time comes, brother, I will host a reception banquet for the two eldest brothers at the Jiaofang Division!"
Hearing Su Yu's words, Sun Xicui and He Bohong felt a lot better.
But Liang Yuxuan on the side said with a mischievous smile: "When the time comes when Brother Su holds a reception banquet at the Jiaofang Division, then Liang will only have to play the role of serving tea and pouring wine."
"Brother Sun, Brother He, then Liang wishes you a safe journey. If something unexpected happens in Liangzhou, I will take good care of your wives and children."
Hearing Liang Yuxuan's words that added insult to injury, Sun Xicui and He Bohong couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths. Is this human language?
"Liang Yuxuan, you kid, don't be so proud."
He Bohong cursed sourly: "If we are not here, there might be some trouble in this Zhenwu Division. By then, don't forget that we just came back, and you will even lose the Qianhu hat on your head."
Liang Yuxuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about it."
"Perhaps when you come back, Liang will have been promoted to the Yuyue Realm. After drinking the reception banquet hosted by Brother Su, you should have the promotion banquet the next day."
"."
The four of them chatted all the way, then separated at the gate of Zhenwusi, and each walked in the direction of his own home.
On the way home, Su Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Speaking of Yuanjing mineral veins, he couldn't help but think of the half of the topographic map in his hand.
At first Hell Gate tried every possible means to rescue Huang Jingyan, who owned half of the topographic map, from Wu Prison, and then a series of things happened.
In that incident, half of the terrain map in Huang Jingyan's hand finally fell into Su Yu's hands.
Just because there was only half a topographic map, Su Yu could not determine the specific location of the Yuanjing veins on the map.
As for the other half of the Kanyu map, you don't need to guess to know that it must be in the hands of the Jingzhou Yama Palace.
And Yama Luodian was wiped out under the leadership of Song Jingfu, the commander of White Tiger.
"Is it possible that the other half of the terrain map has now fallen into the hands of the Zhenwu Division?"
Su Yu couldn't help but secretly thought.
Although he did not personally participate in the extermination mission, Jingzhou Yama Luodian spared no effort to rescue Huang Jingyan, and he must have an attempt on the Yuanjing vein.
If Yama Luodian didn't have the other half of the map, they wouldn't have to go to great lengths to save Huang Jingyan.
With the destruction of the Jingzhou Yama Palace, the half of the topographic map would most likely fall into the hands of the Zhenwu Division.
"Liang Yuxuan was once a member of Huo Yuan's command. He participated in that extermination mission."
"When Wei Lianyi leaves with his people tonight, he and I will be the people with the highest official positions in the Zhenwu Division."
"But we can make some insinuations to see if he knows anything about the half of the Kanyu map."
"If that half of the Kanyu map really falls into the hands of the Zhenwu Division, I think it should be placed in the Zhenwu Division."
"As long as I get the other half of the map, I can secretly investigate the specific location of this Yuanjing vein."
Su Yu's eyes flashed with sparkle, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He currently still has fifteen pairs of tonics and about one million yuan crystals in his hand.
The total amount is twenty-five tonics, which is far from enough for him to accumulate enough attribute points to be promoted to the Hidden Dragon Realm.
If he could find this Yuanjing vein with the help of Kantu Map, it might be enough for him to purchase tonics later.
As for him, after being promoted to the Hidden Dragon Realm, it is estimated that the thousands of years of tonics have had little effect on him.
At that time, he would have to find a way to search for ten thousand years of tonics.
Of course, given the special nature of Ten Thousand Years of Tonic, it is estimated that it will not be easy to obtain.
But with the ability to live forever, he has enough patience to wait.
When Su Yu returned home, the dining table was already filled with dishes.
"I'm back."
Seeing Wu Ling, Meiji, and Shi Shi waiting in the living room, Su Yuqian smiled and said: "I have something to do and I'm late when I come back. If I come back late in the future, you can eat first without waiting for me."
When I get home, I will have a steaming meal and my woman waiting for me.
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh, this is the meaning of home.
"We didn't have to wait long."
Meiji smiled and said, "Sit down quickly."
After Su Yu sat down, the four of them began to feast.
During the meal, Wu Ling couldn't help but ask: "Did something happen in the Zhenwu Division?"
Su Yu picked up a piece of monster meat and put it into his mouth, then nodded and said: "Well, the Yuanjing veins in Wutong Valley in Liangzhou Tianhuang City were occupied by a group of mysterious people. They kept a close watch on the news and took that Yuanjing The veins have been mined clean.”
"By the time the Liangzhou Zhenwu Division learned of this, a long time had already passed."
"When the news reached Tai'an City, His Majesty was furious and ordered Mr. Wei to investigate the matter with full authority."
When Wu Ling heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask: "Did your cousin ask you to go to Liangzhou?"
Meiji and Shi Shi also had their minds hanging in the air. Naturally, they did not want Su Yu to participate in the investigation of this case.
How many good deeds can there be among those who dare to seize Yuanjing mineral veins?
They even hoped to spend their lives with Su Yu in peace.
Su Yu shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Master Wei said that she needed two Qianhu to assist her in investigating the case. I declined and took charge of the Jingzhou Zhenwu Division."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wu Ling and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
Hearing that Su Yu did not participate in this mission, Wu Ling's pretty face couldn't help but feel relaxed, and then she started to think about this Yuanjing vein.
"What are the origins of this group of people? They dare to rob the imperial court's Yuanjing veins."
Wu Ling said with a pretty face in surprise: "Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there have been several reports of Jianghu warriors plundering Yuanjing mineral veins, but once such people are caught, their crimes will be punished as treason. They really have no idea at all. You don’t take your family to heart.”
The Yuanjing mine is one of the most important economic lifelines of the Wei Dynasty, and no outsiders are ever allowed to get involved.
In the history since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there have been times when warriors from all walks of life had the idea of exploiting the Yuanjing mineral veins, but in the end they all paid an extremely heavy price.
It was because of these lessons learned that later generations of martial artists gave up the idea of tapping the Yuanjing veins.
The Yuanjing mineral veins across Kyushu are like the inverse scales of the imperial court, which will cause anger if touched!
As long as we are within the territory of the Wei Dynasty, if the Jiuzhou Zhenwu Division launches a wanted search for a certain target person, and the leader is led by a commander, it will be very difficult to escape the layers of Zhenwu Division's pursuit.
"Su Yu, do you think my cousin can catch this group of mysterious people?" Wu Ling then asked.
Su Yu chuckled and said: "Since the other party dares to seize the Yuanjing mineral vein, it means that they have made certain plans and preparations."
Seeing that Wu Ling's pretty face was a little heavy, Su Yu continued: "But there is a saying that goes well, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself."
"I believe Master Wei will be able to find some clues and then follow the clues to find this group of mysterious people."
Although he was not optimistic that Wei Lianyi would be able to uncover this mysterious group of people, as Wu Ling was Wei Lianyi's cousin, he naturally had to choose something pleasant to say.
After dinner, we enjoyed the exciting show performed by Shi Shi and Mei Ji after dinner.
Su Yu took a mandarin duck bath under Wu Ling's service, and then served three people one after another.
Su Yu, who was sweating all over, walked into the bath to take a bath, but his eyes couldn't help but gleam as if he sensed something.
Ever since he encountered the assassination attempt by Mang Zhong, he had been on heightened alert.
Even when he was doing business, he would specially create a clone, and then wear the colorful exquisite dice on his body and sit in a certain room.
With his Yu Leap Realm cultivation, the entire backyard of the Su Mansion was within his reach.
This is naturally to prevent assassins from sneaking into the house and doing harm to him.
There is a saying that goes well, it is easy to hide from an open gun and hard to guard against a hidden arrow!
As his status gets higher and higher, he has to touch the interests of others.
On the surface, his cultivation is only at the copper-skin level, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a natural weakling.
At this moment, within the scope of his clone's consciousness, a man in black was sneaking into the house carrying a crossbow.
"Who is he?"
Su Yu frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.
Under his spiritual glance, the face of the man in black was clearly revealed.
The other party was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, but an unusually strong figure, a body that could compete with Sun Xicui.
What puzzled Su Yu was, which force did this person represent?
Now that he and Wu Ling are married, the raw rice has become the cooked meal.
Wang Jinghui, who represents the eldest prince's faction, shouldn't have any reason to send people to kill him anymore, right?
He was also carrying a crossbow in his hand, which made Su Yu even more confused.
Before the other party could sneak towards his residence, Su Yu had already controlled his clone and walked out of the room.
Just when the other party came to his residence and was about to lift the tiles on the roof, Su Yu's clone appeared silently behind him.
"The ultimate blood pupil!"
The movement of the opponent's hand suddenly froze, and the scene in his eyes turned into a bloody world with piles of corpses.
"phantom?!"
The middle-aged man looked shocked as he had encountered an illusion.
He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, trying to force his consciousness to regain clarity.
But just as the blood-red world in his eyes was melting with ice and snow, Su Yu had already approached and punched the opponent on the back.
"Cunyan!"
For warriors below the Hidden Dragon Realm, Su Yu can achieve almost unfavorable effects by relying on the two martial arts skills of Ji Dao Xue Pu and Cun Yan.
In order to torture the person who ordered him here, he did not kill him, but blew up his Dantian.
"Pfft."
The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, and his expression suddenly became pale.
When he realized that he had become a useless person, his pupils shrank suddenly and he lost his voice: "You"
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yu picked it up and swept it towards the outside of Tai'an City.
"boom!"
Coming to a wilderness outside Tai'an City, Su Yu threw him to the ground casually.
"Tell me, what is your name, and who is the person who ordered you to assassinate?"
Su Yu looked at him condescendingly and said slowly.
The man in black had long since lost the will to live and lay there like a dead fish, not even bothering to struggle.
Su Yu's eyes turned cold. After interrogating others many times, he was now very familiar with interrogating prisoners.
He didn't hesitate and took out the torture instrument from the space ring.
"ah"
A shrill scream rang out in the wilderness.
Half an hour later, Su Yu knew this person's name, Meng Yu.
What made him look a little weird was that Meng Yu didn't come to kill him, but to kill Wu Ling.
Meng Yu is the minister of the He family in Lingzhou, and he has the cultivation level of Yuyue realm.
Not long ago, the two sons of He Ci, the head of the He family, were shot to death with crossbows in Jiaofangsi.
The person the He family suspected was the Jingzhou Wu family.
That is why He Bixian questioned Wu Chen at noon today.
He Ci was furious after the death of his two sons, so he thought of treating others the same way they treated him.
The Wu family is heavily guarded, and there are Qianlong realm warriors stationed there. The He family knows that the other party will not give them any chance.
Wu Ling is also a member of the Wu family and Wu Chen's biological sister.
If Wu Ling can be shot with a crossbow, Wu Chen can experience the pain of the tragic death of a loved one
But what he never expected was that the Su Mansion where Wu Ling lived would also have a master in charge.
He didn't even have a chance to react before his Dantian was knocked out and he was reduced to a useless person.
Dealing with an Iron Bone Realm warrior with a Fish Leap Realm cultivation level, he thought it would be a very simple task, but now that he had ended up like this, Meng Yu couldn't help but feel regretful.
Why not just stay in Lingzhou and enjoy the support from the He family?
Why do you have to get involved in this muddy water?
After Su Yu gave Meng Yu a good time, he searched for the space ring on his body.
In the space ring, Su Yu found two books of Xuan-level martial arts and about 20,000 yuan crystals.
Including the crossbow, the income from this trip is about 150,000 yuan crystals.
After dumping Meng Yu's body in the dense forest, Su Yu controlled the clone to return to Tai'an City again.
The He family sent someone to assassinate Wu Ling, which Su Yu never expected.
Now that Wu Ling has become his woman, it is naturally impossible for him to let Wu Ling suffer any damage.
It's just that the He family is far away from Tai'an City, so it's not realistic to go directly to the He family to cause trouble.
Su Yu was ready to see what other methods the He family would use in the future.
If the other party stops here, he will no longer pursue Wu Ling's idea.
He just pretended that this assassination did not exist.
If the other party keeps sending people to assassinate him, then he will have to go to Lingzhou and turn the He family upside down.
In any case, he didn't want to deal with the grudge between Wu Chen and the He family, but the fight between the two sides should not affect him.
