Lianquan Town is located more than 4,000 miles south of Yingdu. Due to its remote location and difficult roads, it has not been affected by war for hundreds of years. Because of the frequent crustal movement in this area, there are many tall mountains and dark valleys. In addition, earthquakes and
The orogeny lifted many types of minerals underground out of the ground, forming many high-quality mines.
After a month and a half of trekking, a group of people from Pengcheng finally arrived here. Qu Ao took Sylvia, Wei Wushuang, Rong Feigang and others to visit the town guard and the main local officials that day, and told them: The Taoist Army is
To launch a large-scale attack on Chu State, Chu State needed to acquire some local mines and hire some skilled technicians.
The guard of Lianquan Town was named Tong Rui. Upon hearing this, he immediately agreed and took out a map of the town and surrounding areas. The map detailed the terrain, population and mineral deposits of Lianquan Town and several nearby mountains.
distribution.
The blond girl studied the map carefully, then pointed to the largest "bitter and sour yellow" mine on the map, six miles west of Lianquan Town, and said, "Can we buy this mine?"
Guard Tong Rui frowned slightly and said: "This mine is private, and the owner of that family has always been smart. If you are in a hurry to buy it, I'm afraid the price will be higher."
Qu Ao snorted angrily, and then said loudly: "When the Tsing people come, at least all his property will be confiscated, and maybe he will be killed, or forced to be a slave soldier! He wants to charge a high price?!
Do you want to make a fortune while the country is struggling? Dream on!"
Rong Feigang and others also looked disdainful.
Sylvia whispered to Wei Wushuang: "I carry a lot of golden tickets with me. If necessary, I can..." As soon as she said this, Wei Wushuang stopped her with a gesture.
The town official Tong Rui looked embarrassed.
Rong Feigang said to Tong Rui: "To tell you the truth, before coming here, we have already inquired about the market price: the price of "bitter and sour yellow" has been sluggish in recent years. A mine like this is only worth eight hundred at most.
A gold coin, if he refuses to accept it
For a price, we can only bring troops to his house to ask for it!" When he said the last sentence, Rong Feigang's face showed a very domineering and fierce look, and a bright electric light emitted from his palm, making a slight noise.
Exploding, jumping up and down in the air.
Tong Rui wiped the sweat from his face and promised to persuade the owner of the mine.
Qu Ao asked the blond girl again: "Look what else you need to buy? Where did those two acids come from?"
Sylvia replied: "These two acids are not natural mineral deposits, but are made from some minerals. Some minerals happen to be found on this map, such as saltpeter. In addition, a large amount of charcoal is needed, here
Although it doesn’t exist, there are many other places where you can purchase it and have it shipped.”
Qu Ao said: "Then point out on the map which saltpeter mine you need. We will buy it immediately. If you don't want to sell it, we will rob it!"
After hearing this, Tong Rui had a look of pain on his face. Wei Wushuang comforted him calmly: "Don't worry, we will pay enough gold coins according to the market price and will not bully others." A bitter smile appeared on Tong Rui's face.
.
Sylvia added: "But there is a sulfur mine that I couldn't find on the map. I wonder where it is?"
Tong Rui looked at the blond girl and said with some embarrassment: "Is there sulfur mine? There is, and it's not very far from here, but I'm afraid they won't sell it, and those people are too powerful~~"
Qu Ao asked anxiously: "Who is he? Why don't you want to sell? What kind of powerful method can you use?"
Tong Rui explained: "More than a hundred miles to the south is the border of Chu State. Thirty miles further south after crossing the border, there is a "White Mist Valley", where is a large high-quality sulfur mine.
But near the "Baiwu Valley" is a barbaric ethnic group called the "God Wolf Clan". These "God Wolf Clan" people are fierce and brave by nature. More than 20 years ago, they fought with the Chu State for robbing the Chu State's land and property.
The elite troops of the army fought several battles, and both sides suffered a large number of casualties. In the end, the Chu army won the battle, but they also forged grudges..."
When Wei Wushuang, Qu Ao, Rong Feigang and others heard this, they all looked solemn and subconsciously clenched their weapons.
Tong Rui continued: "The current leader of the "Divine Wolf Clan" is respectfully called "Fierce Wolf Khan". He is a very tough and arrogant guy. It is said that his martial arts skills are very high, and he has 30,000 brave divine wolf warriors under his command.
In recent years, because the Chu army, this one, could not defeat the Tui army, the "Fierce Wolf Khan" has repeatedly made arrogant remarks, saying that he would clean up the Chu country to avenge his past, and he indeed robbed many Chu merchants or people's property.
, the government of Chu State can do nothing to them. How can you, oh, us, forcefully buy his sulfur mine from such a powerful and domineering guy?"
When Qu Ao heard this, he couldn't help but frowned, and then asked: "Besides this mine, are there any sulfur mines elsewhere?"
Tong Rui thought for a while and replied: "There is a sulfur mine four hundred miles northwest, but the mine is very small, and the sulfur produced contains many impurities, so no one wants it if it is sold at a low price."
Everyone looked at Sylvia. The blond girl thought for a moment and then said: "No, although the impurities in the sulfur can be removed, the method is very complicated and it is impossible to do it under the conditions here. If we can barely achieve what we need,
I’m afraid it’s not worth using at all!”
Rong Feigang asked Tong Ruidao again: "Where can I find high-quality sulfur mines?"
Tong Rui replied: "Are there any high-quality sulfur mines? Apart from the one at the "Shenlang Clan", the nearest one is probably in the former South Korea, six thousand miles north. Of course, after South Korea was attacked by the Tsing Kingdom, the mine is now
Belongs to the tattoo country!"
The crowd booed.
Wei Wushuang stood up and said, "It seems we have no choice. Let's go to the "White Mist Valley" now!" After he finished speaking, he looked at Qu Ao. Qu Ao and Rong Feigang also nodded heavily.
Rong Feigang grabbed the thin sheepskin map on the table, and then pulled the governor Tong Rui out of the governor's mansion.
The group of people rode on the 300 horses they had bought from the towns they passed a dozen days ago, and headed south along the spacious official road at full speed.
.
More than an hour later, they arrived at the border of Chu State. Looking towards the other side of the border, although the scenery was beautiful, the roads were very crude. It could be said that they had never been repaired, which formed a sharp contrast with the exquisite and prosperous Chu State.
After crossing the border, the team continued to go south. The vegetation gradually decreased along the way, and soon they saw only bare stone mountains everywhere. In some places, there were hot springs, with traces of white steam emerging from the hot springs, and some even
It's still boiling, obviously the temperature is very high.
.
Lu Jing's body sank in the rushing river. The strange internal force erupting from his Dantian was actually the internal force of "Black Witch Demonic Skills".
At Julang Pass, on the day when King Qi and Jiang Yuan were assassinated, when Lu Jing strangled Yin Xiangzi tightly, the palms of his hands and the acupuncture points on his chest and abdomen madly inhaled the internal power of "Black Witch Demonic Skills" from Yin Xiangzi's body.
.
Yin Intangible's skill is at the second level of Wu Zun, and his skill is not weak. But to Lu Jing, it is a strange foreign skill, so he spent a day suppressing it in his dantian so that he could not come out to cause trouble. And now.
, because his own two internal powers of gold and ice suffered a devastating blow from the Netherworld Black Tiger, the external "black witch and demonic power" internal power lost its suppression and suddenly burst out!
