Chapter 47 Wushan Mine
On the narrow and rugged mountain road, the Zhou family team moved forward slowly.
Suddenly, a shrill scream came from behind.
Zhou Tao clenched his fists, and his face showed ecstasy: "Die, Zhou Feng is finally dead. Who will dare to go against me in the future?"
Zhou Shulin's face froze, paused for a moment, then continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a guard turned around and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Fourth Master, please ask me to go and collect the body of Mr. Zhou Feng!"
This person is a leader among the Zhou family's guards, named "Xu Meng", and the fifth level of Chongji Realm.
Just now, he was no match for a man in black who was at the sixth level of the Chongkuan realm. He was in danger and almost died under the knife of the man in black. Zhou Feng fired an arrow and shot the man in black and saved his life.
Therefore, he is going to collect Zhou Feng's body now, which can be regarded as repaying his life-saving grace.
Not everyone is ungrateful.
Zhou Shulin hesitated immediately.
Will collecting Zhou Feng's body provoke Nujiang Yanqiu?
He is a master at the ninth level of the Chongji Realm. Not to mention that he is seriously injured now, even in his heyday, he can crush him to death with just one finger.
Who can withstand it?
"Zhou Feng has been torn to pieces by Jiang Yanqiu, and will soon become a delicious meal for those wild beasts. Where can I collect the corpse for you?"
Zhou Tao said coldly: "You want to show off, right? Believe it or not, I will let you not be able to survive in the Zhou family?"
In front of these guards, he became proud again.
Step on...
At this moment, a carriage appeared behind and rushed up quickly.
This is Zhou Feng's carriage.
"Hey, even the carriage abandoned Zhou Feng, it seems that God's will! Good birds choose trees to live on, so I can change a carriage."
Zhou Tao just cleaned up the horse blood on his body, making the entire carriage full of blood, which was disgusting. He had long wanted to change his nest.
As he said that, he jumped down, stopped Zhou Feng's carriage, climbed up, lifted the curtain, and immediately saw Zhou Feng sitting inside, staring at him with a pair of cold eyes.
Like the eyes of the devil.
"ah……"
Zhou Tao screamed in fear. He was not careful and stepped on the air under his feet and immediately fell off the carriage. His nose and face were swollen, and he screamed in pain.
The clean clothes I just changed into have become dirty again.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was shocked.
Then he saw Zhou Feng coming out of the carriage, without any trouble, and looked at Zhou Tao condescendingly: "You want to infect my things too?"
"Zhou Feng, you weren't killed by Jiang Yanqiu?"
Zhou Tao looked like he saw a ghost, his face full of incredible feelings.
Zhou Shulin also found it incredible. How could a person like Jiang Yanqiu let Zhou Feng go if he was vengeful?
"Jiang Dacaizi came to me to reminisce about the past, fighting and killing, which is a shame for his kindness. You are all thinking too much." Zhou Feng said with a smile.
“…”
Zhou Tao was completely speechless.
In an instant, Jiang Yanqiu's family greeted him fiercely.
When is it time to reminisce about this?
Can you have some success?
Otherwise, don’t call it the best man in the future, and just call it a cowardly person.
"Since it's okay, then keep on rushing."
Zhou Shulin looked at Zhou Feng deeply and said.
"What's your name?" Zhou Feng's eyes fell on Xu Meng.
"Young Master, my subordinate Xu Meng!"
Xu Meng replied immediately.
"Come and help me drive the car!"
The guard who helped him drive the car before had died at the hands of the man in black.
So Xu Meng became Zhou Feng's coachman.
Zhou Tao's eyes were full of jealousy.
A guard leader at the fifth level of Chongji Realm actually helped Zhou Feng drive the car.
He doesn't have this treatment.
The following journey was calm and there was no accident again.
The Zhou family team arrived at the Wushan Mine smoothly.
I saw a huge mountain range lying across the heaven and earth, and the land was gray, and at first glance, it looked a little desolate.
There is no dense forest, only clusters of shrubs.
By chance, you can see the figure of a wild beast flashing by.
The mine is halfway up the mountain. After years of mining and excavation, the entire mountain is missing a corner, which feels like it has been razed to the ground.
In the middle of the mine, there is a building with a strange shape, like a funnel standing upside down, very large, and penetrated into the sky.
This is a smelting room.
What is excavated from the mountain is raw stone, which needs to be smelted through a series of smelting before it can be turned into steel.
Weapons, armor, tower ships, warships...
Countless places require steel.
Therefore, the imperial court had a very high demand for steel.
So steel became a tribute.
This has led to the mine becoming a hot commodity and the competition is very fierce.
Often, a new mine was discovered, and it took a bloody massacre and many people to die before it could decide the final belonging.
The Zhou family's mine was still in its prime, and another family was destroyed and snatched it.
It has been mined for decades, and the output has been decreasing year by year. I don’t know how long it will last.
Once the mining is completed, the Zhou family can only think of another way out, otherwise they will not be able to pay tribute, which will be a heinous crime and will be punished.
If this smelting room is running, a huge thick smoke will inevitably emerge, covering the sky and the sun.
At the same time, it will also generate boiling heat waves, which will increase the surrounding temperature a lot, making people sweat profusely.
But now there have been riots, and those absenteeism strike one after another, and the smelting room naturally stopped operating. The entire mine looked very quiet and deserted.
At the foot of the mountain, more than twenty men dressed in uniform were arranged neatly into two rows, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
This is the supervisor sent by the Zhou family to manage the mines and supervise the miners to mine, excavate, smelteer and transport.
Every supervisor is a warrior, with a strong body, Kong Wu is powerful, holding a long black whip in his hand, full of majesty.
The leader was a young man with a bloated figure, fat head and big ears, and a kind smile always appeared on his face. He looked like a person who was smooth at first glance.
This person is called "Lu An". He seems to be a relative of the Zhou family, so he was entrusted with important tasks.
Zhou Feng had seen him several times before in Licheng.
But there was no communication.
"Fourth Master, thank you for your hard work. I have someone prepared wine and food to welcome you." Lu An came up from afar, respectfully.
Suddenly, he saw many guards covered in wounds and were covered in dust, and suddenly showed a look of surprise: "You..."
"We encountered an ambush on the way, lost more than 20 guards, and I was seriously injured."
Zhou Shulin's voice seemed a little weak: "It's not necessary to welcome the air and dust. Everyone is very tired. You can arrange your residence quickly and let everyone rest first."
"Everything has been arranged!"
"Lu An, go and prepare hot water immediately. I am going to take a shower, and my body is so smelly."
At this moment, Zhou Tao came out of the carriage and said in an orderly tone.
Lu An still had that smile and quickly responded: "Young Master Zhou Tao wait for a moment, and I'll go make arrangements right away."
When Zhou Tao heard this, his face showed satisfaction.
Then everyone entered the mine.
Zhou Feng stared at Lu An's back, then glanced at the entire mine, and suddenly a trace of arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that this is not simple."
Chapter completed!
