Chapter 1739 Suo Ye Shot

Li Cong himself is not an excessive leader. Although Li Cong became very irritable because of Li Yin's disappearance, Li Cong still didn't get angry with the people around him, because he knew that these people around him had done their best. Even King An and the others in Guangming South City have accompanied Li Cong to arrive here. The temperature over there is still much higher than here. At this moment, they saw Li Cong's appearance one by one. I don't know what to say anymore. These people also know that Li Cong is in pain. The relationship between that young man and Li Cong should be unusual. They both have the same surname. It seems that they should belong to the same family. Perhaps it should be a more important family junior, and several people chose to remain silent.

Although the news of Li Cong's departure from Beijing was very secret, everyone in the gold mine soon knew the news. They felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They could complete it quickly when there was no regent in the imperial capital. All kinds of things, but since Li Lai came, their life has never been easier, and each of these people understands that Li Cong changed everything, although they don't want to believe that these things are caused by Li Cong. It's a very uncomfortable thing for these old nobles to bow their heads to a new noble like Li Cong, but this time the gold mine involved is too huge, and they don't care about face Now there is a good chance that if they don't act, they may have no hope when Li Cong comes back, so several major families have sent the most capable young children in the family to the gold mine. Yes, they want to make this area a fait accompli, absolutely not to Li Cong.

When the Ukawa area never won so many people before, they didn't have any permanent residents here, so it was absolutely impossible for the big families to recruit a sufficient number of miners here. The site of the gold mine is very large, so it seems that everything here must require a large number of miners. For these big families, it is very normal to mobilize tens of thousands of slaves, but mobilizing slaves to this place It's not normal to come. The major powers of the empire have extended their eyes to this place one after another, and they all know that something unusual must have happened here, otherwise these people would not let the comfortable life of the imperial capital go to this bird They came from places that don't shit, and some large forces hoped to get some food from this project, but when they saw the combination of this group, they retreated one by one, no matter how big the interests here are. huge. Offending these people is not worth the candle.

Although Li Cong is not in the imperial capital, Li Cong has also explained everything here to Lao Yang. Moreover, Li Cong thought that Lao Yang still had some shortcomings at times, so Master Suo, an old guy who had been idle at home for a long time, came out. Since Long Yun took over the county palace, it has not been as beautiful as it used to be. Even with Li Cong's support, the nobles of the empire did not treat him as well as before. Long Yun also knew how this was caused, and he had to It's too easy to come to this seat. It was just luck. When Long Lu was in this position, the entire county palace could be ranked among the top five palaces in the empire, but what about now? Those who are not above or below are just a middle-level palace, which lacks a lot of background, and the nobles of the imperial capital do not just look at your title when dealing with you. This background is also very important, anyway, there are not many people who respect Long Yun.

"Suo Ye, our people have already heard about them. More than 40,000 miners have all arrived. If we don't take any action, they may start." Yang has dealt with him a lot. The impression given to Lao Yang was that Suo Ye was a very difficult person, so at the beginning, Lao Yang told Suo Ye that he was just a man of affairs, and Suo Ye's own idea was better for any major matter, but Lao Yang didn't quite understand of.

"Hehe, Lao Yang, hold your breath, we are just delaying time now. Moreover, we have too little force to dispatch. Let us use the thousands of people in our hands to fight against tens of thousands of guards and tens of thousands of miners. As long as it is Our brains haven't rusted yet, I don't think we will do such a thing, now we can't confront them head-on, the prince is no longer the imperial capital, and we can't use the army to solve this matter, so we We have to rely on our brains. Of course, we can’t fight the ideas of these people, but these workers can’t just use their hands to help their masters dig up the entire mine. If that’s the case, let alone these tens of thousands of people No, even hundreds of thousands of people can’t do it.” Master Suo stroked his beard and said with a smile, this guy enjoyed his life in the Prince’s Mansion of Yanping County very much, but he also knew that he would not offend Li Cong in the past. Now it is even more difficult to offend. In fact, the Yanping County Palace has always been supported by Li Cong. Li Cong's affairs are much more important than their own affairs. Without any delay, after leading people to meet Lao Yang, he followed these miners along the way to play by ear. Li Cong's order to them was to let them fight for one to two months and let them prepare with all their strength, but It can't really start work. Li Cong knows that this arrangement is definitely not as good as before, but it is very worthwhile to postpone the time.

"Suo Ye is such a good idea. We have all the news here. These people ordered these tools in Uka County City, where Ukawa hibernates for sixty miles. They can't be delivered today, and it will probably be tomorrow afternoon. I should be here by the time, and I will arrange this matter immediately, if Master Suo is willing, I don’t think they will ever want to get the tools.” Lao Yang found a message and said, let’s go and give these things to snatched it.

"Wait, Lao Yang, things shouldn't be so flustered. If we do something now, these people will definitely associate us with the prince. We can't do such stupid things now. They are looking for evidence. If we just sent it up like that, we would be the real fools. There are very powerful bandits around here. There are about 2,000 people. Make a big promise to them, as long as they can delay the time, the rest will be fine. Let's talk about the next thing when the prince comes back. These bandits probably don't have much other skills, but it's really the right arrangement to ask them to make trouble. Bandits are good at making trouble, and they don't know anything about other things.

"It's still Suoye who is thoughtful. If I do this, I will probably mess it up. Suoye, I think it's a bit too thin to just use tools to deal with them? There are several counties around here." Tens of thousands of private troops have come from their big families, and they may not find anything in a short period of time. If it takes a long time, we really have no chance to stop them." Lao Yang was worried about Li Cong's affairs That's why I said that no matter how capable Suo Ye is, he is still a slave after all. To put it bluntly, this is because I don't know much about Suo Ye, or I feel a bit too hasty about Li Cong's decision. Limitations, if things go wrong, I will be ashamed to follow along.

"Hehe, Lao Yang, these things are just a superficial phenomenon, and I have more backups. You think the prince has given me so much money and force, so I can only rely on the bandits to let them go. Speed ​​up." Come down, I'm not useless." Suo Ye didn't even look at Lao Yang, in Suo Ye's opinion, even people like Lao Yang began to doubt his ability, it seemed that he was a bit old In the past, I shouldn't have made my life so leisurely. The people below thought that I was already dying, so I will show them this time. Whether it is an enemy or one of our own, I, Suo Ye, is still alive. If you want to fight with me, there is no way.

"Yes, Master Suo taught you a lesson. This subordinate resigned." Lao Yang touched the cold sweat on his head and said, after he became the steward of the Prince Regent's Mansion, no one would dare to talk to him like that, but today This person is a little different from others, this person is Master Suo, who has served several generations of princes, and those princes are all top-notch. This has benefited me a lot from studying for two years, not to mention being with the prince for decades, and being in charge of the palace for decades. If Li Cong hadn't asked for help, Mr. Suo would never have stepped out of his place of residence.

Suo Ye naturally does not need others to teach him how to do things, as it is now, Suo Ye, besides making the bandits go to add a little more fun, there is another most important way is to create a natural environment in this valley. Disasters, if there is such a disaster, it is estimated that they will not be able to settle this matter for a few months. Many people have also said that there have been no natural disasters here for a long time, but this thing can be natural disasters or ** Yes, as long as there is enough power, this **** can also become a natural disaster. Suoye has already asked someone to study the terrain here. It must be a rainy season here recently. If there is not much vegetation, it will definitely be There are mudslides or something, but now the mountains are densely packed with trees. This is no joke. If you want to create mudslides here, you have to cut down trees. Naturally, it is impossible for Suoye to send a large number of people in to cut down trees, but cutting down trees will not work. Well, if you burn all the trees, it should be very easy, and you can get things done with a single fire. It should be possible now that it is still relatively dry.

The person in charge of this gold mine is the next patriarch of the Ulanara family, Yunpeng Ulanara. Although this kid is only less than twenty-five years old this year, when everyone in the imperial capital mentions this guy I want to give my thumbs up. This kid has been the city lord of the county twice in other places. If this is in Huaxia on Earth, he is also a department-level cadre. Speaking of which, he has already stepped into the ranks of high-ranking officials. This time, the gold mine incident was too powerful, so the family called this kid here. This is an income of billions of gold coins, which is definitely not a small amount. Otherwise, this Yunpeng would not come back Yes, in addition to helping the family, the family also promised that the 100 million gold coins will belong to this guy himself, and the other major families sent out the absolute elite of the younger generation, and they all received such a promise. In the future, it is naturally hoped that this place will be mined quickly.

In fact, it is impossible for such a huge gold mine to be mined quickly. It will take at least ten years or even longer. , they don’t need to stay in such a place anymore, after all, they are all pampered, and it’s not very comfortable for them to live in such a place, and they all want to go back quickly For them, the imperial capital or the place where they work. Although money is also very important, it is still very difficult compared with political matters.

"Today is really boring. It's been another day of exploration. I really don't know when we can start digging such a big mountain..." A nobleman came out in a dirty suit. That's right, this guy is the eldest grandson of Shangshu's family. This kid has also been studying ore for a while, and these people are considered to know the importance of this matter. If their younger brothers and sisters were called to come, it would be impossible to go to the bottom of the mine to see what was going on, and the sweltering heat inside would be unbearable. Now they are doing very well.

"Hehe, let's work hard. We went down to see it today, and it's pretty good. At least the mine can start working. Tomorrow, tens of thousands of gold coins may be shipped to us in a day. You know, this is tens of thousands of gold coins a day." Yes. This kind of business is worth letting some of us make a move. By the way, where has that guy Yunpeng gone? Didn’t we ask him to be our team leader? Why is this kid not here? Where is he? Let's go, this kid didn't arrange for us to be coolies. Find a place to enjoy yourself?" said another guy who was not very clean.

"Yunpeng? This guy is not idle. He went to the outside of the mountain to receive some tools. Could it be that tens of thousands of workers are asked to clean the whole mountain by hand? They don't have that ability. I guess this It's time to come back." A son who was in charge of keeping records from above said, they also like this kind of working atmosphere very much. At least the people around me are doing practical things. What I am most afraid of is that a group of people who are doing serious things will come with a few sons who are not doing serious things. Then the project will be slowed down by at least one third.

Just when these guys were about to go back cursing, they heard the sound of galloping horses. This was the sound of war horses. Something had happened, and they all looked outside with unkind faces. What will happen now? Could it be that someone from the Prince Regent's House has come? Impossible, they don't have such a fast speed, besides, this place has already been registered with the imperial court, and the ore here is already owned by several of their big families, and it has nothing to do with the Regent's Palace. The guards walked towards the entrance of the valley to see what was going on.

"General Cui, why are you back, where is Yunpeng?" A boy who came up just now saw a general rushing in from a distance covered in blood. Something must have happened, otherwise, what happened to this guy? There will be so much blood.

"Something went wrong, something went wrong, we ran into bandits outside, they surrounded us, although there were a lot of us, they were all coachmen and workers, and there were not many combat-capable ones, Lord Yunpeng led people to follow us They are entangled, I am coming back to rescue the soldiers, take them away quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome." General Cui said after dismounting his horse and simply treating his wounds.

One sentence made all the rich kids dumbfounded. How could there be such a blind bandit? You must know that the members of their big families are all from the top families in the imperial capital. It's a terrible thing. This time, several companies came out, that is, the royal family has the ability to fight against Li Cong, and this transaction also has the shares of the royal family. Although there are not very few bandits in the empire, the vicinity of the imperial capital is relatively clean. Even the bandits in other places work in some deep mountains and old forests. There are no outsiders. The straight-line distance from here to the imperial capital is quite close. , Someone will come to rob them, I really don't know what to say.

"Now is not the time to hesitate, General Cui, you immediately mobilize your soldiers and horses to rescue Yunpeng, and wipe out those bandits on the spot." Some of these rich children are also in the army. Of course, they know that the bandits in the empire are all Some kind of stuff, when you have nothing to do, go to the countryside to harass the local rich man, and extort two small money is still okay, but if you run into the regular army of the empire, you can only run away, this is also the case with Yunpeng. His guard team of hundreds of people is really too confident, and this place can be regarded as a wasteland area, but the courage of this group of bandits is really not small. Yunpeng's transportation team is tens of thousands of people. I really didn't expect them to attack such a team. Some of Yunpeng's escorts are tools and not very valuable. I really don't know if these bandits have brains It was all stretched up to the buttocks, and if such a person did something, it seemed that he could only be destroyed.

General Cui agreed and immediately led the army out again. This guy is a no-brainer general, capable of fighting. It’s not good to be out of my mind. The remaining noble children all have brains. When I think about it, I feel that something is wrong. Domestic bandits rarely provoke such a large-scale flow of people. This is for sure. It was done by someone with a heart. Thinking of people with a heart, these people began to doubt everywhere, even the guy sitting next to him began to doubt. With such a large sum of money, no one can maintain reason. Get rid of these people who are black and black? Everyone has thought about this idea, but they quickly rejected it. Although they are all important members of the younger generation in the family, their life and death are not a big deal to the whole family, even if they are all dead. , the family will not lose much because of their death, at most they will just shoot another person. Now they are not very likely to cause internal strife. After all, everyone is on the same boat now. Even if they want to kill someone, they have to wait for the gold mine to be mined, right?

"No, Yunpeng took hundreds of people out, and then a few thousand people. We only have an army of a few thousand people. If something happens at this time, we will definitely not be able to suppress those slaves. Come on, let's leave immediately. We can't stay here anymore. Those slaves are the most unstable factor for us. When there are enough troops watching them, they are slaves working for us. But if there are not enough troops watching them, those people It’s our urging talisman, hurry up, we have to hurry up and join Yunpeng, the slaves of tens of thousands of people just tell them to come here.” The boy who spoke to General Cui just now seems to want to understand What the heck, he stood up and said loudly, his words made these people who stayed behind think of something, and their faces changed drastically.

Slaves are subordinates, and these people have never regarded the lives of slaves as one thing. Among other things, these people have thousands of slaves under their hands, and there are more than 50,000 slaves gathered here. At first, there were more than 10,000 soldiers watching them, each of them was wearing instruments of torture, guarded by soldiers, these slaves were naturally very honest and would not make trouble, it turned out that one soldier watched five slaves A slave, it’s different now, the ratio has dropped by more than half, a soldier has to look at more than a dozen slaves, there must be places where he can’t see, if nothing happens in this barracks, of course It's the best, if there is any disturbance, these people may riot, thinking of riots, everyone is dumbfounded.

The speed of these noble sons and brothers is also very fast. They must quickly move towards the nearest pipeline or barracks or even the county town. If they continue to stay, the danger is too great. The slaves don't know yet What happened outside, the people who dealt with them must have very powerful skills. It is impossible to arrange such a thing, and there will definitely be various things in the future, but they are no longer Without the ability to control the situation, the only way to continue to stay is to die. The sons and brothers got on their horses and took their own soldiers away, leaving more than 2,000 soldiers to watch the 50,000 slave army. Rebellion is the best, but if there is a rebellion, these two thousand people will not even be enough to plug the teeth of the slaves.

The departure of the sons and brothers did not cause any huge turmoil, and even some guard soldiers didn't know it. They still thought that they might be off work in two hours, so they could take a rest in that dilapidated tent. Being with these damned slaves, although I don't smell very good, the smell of these damned slaves is even more unpleasant, and even makes people vomit. The dead are almost dead, I really don't know what they are doing looking at them like this, the soldiers know that there are thousands of cavalry patrolling around here, if a few slaves dare to run out, they will definitely be killed directly, this must be wrong What needs to be questioned is that he has no sense of danger to his work.

Of course, according to his thinking, there is really no danger now, but if the surrounding conditions change, especially when it can affect the life and death of so many slaves, these slaves who have no concept of survival may behave Out of another survival instinct. The soldier was holding the whip in his hand boredly, and the dozens of slaves squatting beside him looked at the soldier with some horror. This guy had nothing to do and wanted to vent his anger on a few people. It's boring, they're soldiers, not overseers. The slight dissatisfaction of these slaves is that they were punched and kicked. I don't know how many of them were broken by this whip. Some of the slaves didn't have any good spots at all, and it's not clear who was punished.

"It's on fire, it's on fire..." Less than an hour after the nobles left, the mountain started to burn, and several of the slaves who were near the mountain were already on fire. , This is a big deal all of a sudden, these people all looked at the dense forest around them, this is no joke, the entire mountain is full of forests. If it really stays here, it will be burned black like that wood in a while. These slaves began to shout loudly to escape. Naturally, these soldiers will not let them get what they want. Although a few soldiers They also looked at the fire in the distance in astonishment, but they also knew that they must not be in a daze here anymore, and now is not the time to be in a daze. Now these damn slaves must be controlled. The soldiers threw away the whips in their hands. At this time, the whips have no effect, and they must use the steel knives in their hands.

"Bastard, you damn bastards, squat down for me. Go one by one in order. If anyone is disobedient, I will kill you with one knife." The soldier said loudly after killing a slave with a knife. Very powerful, the dozens of slaves he was in charge of all squatted down honestly. Although they were still very scared of the fire hundreds of meters away, they didn't want to be hacked to death by this guy. Guy kills without batting an eyelid. When I killed those people just now, I didn't even frown. They are basically a devil. It's better to be honest with the devil. These brainless soldiers are still managing slaves here. Look at those soldiers with brains At this moment, he didn't care what happened to his slaves, they all ran to the stable for the first time, and they were suddenly dumbfounded. There were so many horses now that there was nothing, but there were still a few that didn't hit very well. Yes, it’s always better than nothing. These people got on their horses and ran out of the valley. They all knew that if they continued to burn for a while, the valley would probably be filled with black smoke. That At that time, the chaos began, and it was impossible for him to go out even if he wanted to.

At the beginning, under the desperate suppression of these officers and soldiers, many slaves did not take any drastic actions, but as a large number of soldiers fled, more and more slaves were left alone. At this time, dozens of them One person surrounds a soldier, even if the soldier has the ability to kill several slaves, but in the end? He also had no way to stop the chaos of these slaves. A large number of slaves began to run towards the entrance of the valley, and now it seemed to be an exit from heaven. If you go out, you may be saved.

The children of the nobles who were fleeing also saw the fire on the mountain. They were all very glad that they had escaped. If you were still inside at this time, those angry slaves would not care whether you were an ordinary soldier or a nobleman. My son, in the eyes of those slaves, these people should not be alive, and now each of them is aroused very quickly in their hearts. They have saved their lives, but they dare not rush back to the imperial capital just like that They went, although the distance from here to the imperial capital is not very far, but who knows if their opponents will do them any harm on the way, so they all rushed towards the nearest county town , I passed by several county towns on the road and didn't intend to go in. After all, the city walls of this county town are too small to block anything at all. The tall city walls of the county towns are more secure. I don't know if everyone is tired. That's it.

On the way, they saw Yunpeng and General Cui. There was nothing serious about these two people, but after knowing what happened in the valley, the two people were also frightened and didn't know what to do. They were played by an expert First, let Yunpeng and the others go back to ask for help, and then there are not so many guards in the valley, and then use the fire to get all the slaves out of the valley. Now, they will continue to go back. It is also impossible to mine, because there are no more slaves. Besides, I don’t know what it looks like now. The fire there can be seen from dozens of miles away. The rest time must be It won't be short, and Yunpeng has no good way. It could only be that these people were gathered together and walked towards the imperial capital. Now they have tens of thousands of guards. It's okay to go back to the imperial capital. I haven't heard of any bandits who can fight against an army of tens of thousands. Suo Ye's plan is initially successful.

Li Cong in Guangming City was not at all happy when he received the news. Li Cong still believed in Suo Ye's ability to handle affairs. The master used some money to complete this matter. From the beginning to the end, none of his own people came forward, all of them were bandits, of course. It is also necessary to change the name afterwards and find a killer organization to kill all the leaders of the bandits who came into contact with him. It is nothing more than losing some money. Compared with the gold mine, this loss is nothing.

Li Cong hadn't eaten for a day, and Li Cong didn't say a word during this day. He just stood on the city wall and looked at the darkness in the distance. He was waiting for some equipment. Some equipment that can operate in the polar regions, these things have been found on the earth, and some modifications are being made, and they can arrive here through the teleportation array at the earliest in two hours. Li Cong must go there in person. He believes that relying on With my own ability, I will be able to find my son in that valley. Live to see people, die... Li Cong trembled all over when he thought of that word. His son is only so young, it is impossible for him to disappear like that. Standing behind Li Cong, it is really difficult for Meng Tian Imagine, Li Cong must have thought of something at this moment. Otherwise it won't tremble.

"My lord, the territory of the savages is different from ours. It is common for people to freeze to death in winter in this place. The bear king also said just now that if they are not careful, they can freeze to death themselves. This year's Winter is not the same as other winters, it is even more severe, I think you should not go out, we just wait for the news in Guangming City, Xiong Wang has already contacted the people of the Shan Clan, the activities of the people of the Shan Clan in winter They are very capable, they are good at moving in the mountains, and it will be a matter of time before they enter that valley." Meng Tian knew that if he said it, it might not be useful, but if he didn't say it, he would still feel uncomfortable. Li Cong's ability is very powerful. He can fight against the Snake Queen alone, and he can also defeat the giant Behemoth. But this time the enemy is God. In Meng Tian's heart, it is impossible to defeat this. How important it is, it would be unwise to go out at this time.

"Meng Tian, ​​that person is...my son. I have kept a lot of secrets from you all this time. Now I have to tell you that I have been too depressed. I haven't relaxed for a moment these days. I am afraid that if I relax myself, I may not be able to stand up. I only have two sons. This is the youngest son. If I lose him, I will..." No matter how strong a person is, there will be times when he is weak. At this time Li Cong is that, from the time he started to make a fortune until now, he has never been so fragile in his heart. This is the first time, and it seems that when his son is involved, he will change.

"Ah...?" Meng Tian didn't expect such a result. He once thought that the young man should be a junior in Li Cong's family, but he never thought that the young man was Li Cong's son. There are a lot of things to say, but now I can't say a word. That's right, if something like that happens to my son, I will do it. Although I don't have Li Cong's powerful ability, if I don't do it I will never feel at ease in my life.

"I really hate that my own energy is too small. If I really have the same ability as you, I really want to go out with you." Meng Tian said helplessly. At this time, he and Li Cong don't seem to have a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Yes, it's like a pair of friends, Li Cong also sees it that way.

"Hehe, good brother, I know this. You didn't make a fuss about going with me. This shows that you have matured a lot. You are still needed here. Although I didn't care much when I came here, I can tell that this winter It will definitely not be peaceful. In the past, if the winter of the savages was normal, human beings would be normal too. But if the winter of the savages was very cold and the snow was very heavy, the war that year would be very serious. Powerful, because these people of the savage race have nothing to eat, they will work harder, they know that they will not be able to survive after going back, it is better to die on the battlefield, or if they don’t die, they can enter the human race. The territory has been robbed, and the assistance to Xiong Wang and others must not stop, and they must be our advance team when necessary, and we humans can't even go out of the house in winter." Li Cong said with some concern, The winter here is like the Antarctic on the earth, fighting in such an environment? Don't even think about it.

Hearing Li Cong's words, Meng Tian felt a little relieved. Li Cong seemed to have become the original strategizing prince again.

"Yes, I have also discussed this issue with Bear King, but this guy wants too much. He wants 10 million pigs and millions of other animals. These things in our northern province are basically If it is shipped from the south to this place, it may increase our cost." Meng Tian said with some embarrassment, because of the large number of purchases by the army, the price of pork in the empire has already started to rise, and the household department is already There have been several protests, and Prince Gong has tried his best to suppress it, but it is not a good way to suppress it. Raising the bear family is not the same as raising the army. The army alone has half a catty of meat a day or A catty of meat is enough, these bear people don’t eat pasta, they only eat meat, twenty catties of meat a day is not enough for them, especially those high-ranking officials, they eat even more. Xiong Wang himself gets a pig a day, and he doesn't know how this guy eats it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
