The mine is extremely busy. Xiaoliu felt that he was very tired these days, but he couldn't rest at all. He picked up the Lingshi Mine with a pickaxe, and his expression was a little numb.
Outside the mine, many miners' families rushed over, carrying food baskets.
"Why didn't our head come back yesterday?" asked a peasant woman, her eyes full of worry.
The soldier stopped her and explained: "Sister-in-law, we are under heavy pressure these days. Everyone is working overtime. They stay in the mining shed at night and we provide food."
"Why do you suddenly have to work overtime? This has never happened before." The woman was a little confused.
"You are such a bold woman. How can you question the government's decision? Don't worry, they will be put back after a while. Since you brought the food, I will help you bring it in. Don't stand here. Yes." Another noncommissioned officer came and said. Under his majesty, those who came to look for their families returned angrily. After all, they did not dare to offend the officers and soldiers, and they felt that there should be no big problem working in the amethyst mine.
However, shortly after the group retreated, groups of soldiers surrounded the mine from all directions.
"Everyone inside, put down their weapons and declare themselves cultivators, otherwise they will be treated as treason!" A high-pitched voice sounded.
Some of the soldiers in the mine looked at each other, while others were shocked.
"What's going on? Why are we surrounded by our own people? Their flags look like they are from the army in the coastal areas." Some people asked in confusion.
Not long after, General He, who was in charge of this place, strode out. As a master of the seventh level of Yuexuan, General He Zudao naturally held an extraordinary position, otherwise he would not be responsible for supervising the core mineral veins here.
"What are you doing! People who dare to surround me!" He Zudao shouted sharply, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"General He, long time no see." A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar in white robes stood up. He had a handsome face and a kind smile, but he was full of smiles.
"Guan Yunpengguan City Lord? Why haven't we seen each other for a long time? Didn't we just meet a few days ago?" He Zudao was already planning how to escape.
Guan Yunpeng didn't waste any time and sighed: "Your Majesty treats you well. You are responsible for such a core mineral vein in the territory. It can be said that the task is light and easy. However, you turned to Lord Ye and became his lackey, stealing purple for Lord Ye." Crystal mines as funds for their rebellion. What crime do you deserve!"
He Zudao's expression changed and he scolded: "City Lord Guan, don't talk nonsense. Although I, He, work under your rule in Bainiao City, I was sent here by the imperial capital. What qualifications do you have to punish me!" "
"Originally we wanted to take a long-term approach to fishing for big fish, but the discovery of this spiritual stone mine has disrupted our plan. We can accept Lord Ye's extra amethyst coins, but if so many spiritual stones are given to him, I'm afraid that I Guan is a sinner of the Chaoyang Kingdom, why are you and the other Yejun lackeys leaving today?"
He Zudao knew that the matter had been exposed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take away these spiritual stones. There was a hint of hatred in his eyes. He did not know who had leaked the news. He obviously had absolute control over the mining area, and even a fly could not think of it. Fly out.
"It's useless to talk more. Let me see the truth. Although I am at the seventh level of Yuexuan, you are not at the ninth level of Yuexuan. In actual combat, I may not lose to you!" He Zudao took out a pair of gloves, which were his contract items. In an instant, his hands were extremely powerful, and he only threw a stone at one place. In an instant, the soldiers besieged there were scattered in all directions by the huge impact.
Guan Yunpeng frowned, knowing that He Zudao was about to go on a killing spree, and coldly snorted: "Don't do it yet!"
But he saw a soldier hiding not far behind He Zudao suddenly appeared behind He Zudao like a ghost. The sharp knife in his hand almost wiped off He Zudao's neck, but he narrowly avoided it.
He Zudao looked at the man in surprise, "Who are you!"
The soldier took off his human-skin-like mask, and the mask instantly turned into a white mask. This was his contract and could perfectly hide his realm and appearance.
"It's me, General He. As the 30th 'Rich General' of the ninety-nine demons under Lord Ye, I have really put in a lot of effort. Your Majesty is wise and mighty. He has long sensed that you may have a problem, so he sent me Lurking beside you, you have provided Lord Ye with a lot of amethyst coins over the years, and you are worthy of being a wealthy general." Gao Liang, the masked general who belonged to the Chaoyang Empire's secret force, sneered.
With the cooperation of Guan Yunpeng, the city lord of Bainiao City, and the master of Masked General Gao Liang, who was at the peak of Yue Xuan, He Zudao, who was at the seventh level of Yue Xuan, was quickly killed. They originally wanted to capture him alive, but He Zudao resisted to the death. Soon after, the mine was completely suppressed, and all the soldiers and miners in the mine were taken back for strict examination. Only those who were determined to be not General He's minions were released.
"Are these miners really going to be released home? What about the news about the Lingshi Veins?" Guan Yunpeng asked worriedly.
"There is no need to embarrass these ordinary people. I think General He has already passed the news to Ye Jun's people. The secrets here cannot be kept. Besides, the spirit stone veins are the most valuable mineral deposits recorded in ancient books. It's not you. As long as I can take responsibility, His Majesty should have sent a spiritual master from the palace to take over, and leave the rest to him," Gao Liang said.
"That's fine, I don't want to increase the number of evildoers, not to mention that in the future, the mining of these spiritual stone mines will have to rely on nearby miners. It's just that my seniors in the Spiritual God realm in Chaoyang Kingdom are really busy. Just like this, Dongguo still wants to let Feng Zun went to the academy to take up his post, and his old man is gone. What will happen to the saint? The saint is the future of the human race." Guan Yunpeng said worriedly.
"Don't worry. It is said that the saint will go to the First United College soon. Someone will accompany her, and her safety will be taken care of. You and I should not get involved in these things. Is this something you and I should take care of?" The masked general said brightly.
"Really? The saint is going on a long trip again? I hope everything goes well." Guan Yunpeng said. Naturally, these things are not his concern as a border city lord.
The frightened miners did not expect that they would be released home alive one day, so they rushed home with lingering fears. Tieniu and Xiaoliu were from the same village, so they naturally went home together.
"Brother Tieniu, why were you so depressed along the way?" Xiaoliu asked.
There was a strange look in Tieniu's eyes, and then he returned to his original simplicity. "No...it's okay, I'm just a little scared."
"That's true. There was a battle between mysterious beings before. I didn't expect that I would be able to see a battle between mysterious beings in this life and even survive." Xiao Liu said with lingering fear.
"Those three ants just now? If I were in my heyday, I could crush them with one finger. According to some of the memories I integrated, the human race seems to have declined too much. The mysterious person... The mysterious person is probably only equivalent to foundation building. Probably the strength. But what is the contract object? Why is there such a thing? Before I can understand the world clearly, I still have to rely on this identity to get more information." The man said to himself.
(Excessive chapters may be a bit boring, but this person is very important, and it should be said that the treasures in him are very important)
