Volume 1 A Thousand Stones Chapter 18 Achieved

"But how can we trust you? If you pack them up and turn around to deal with us, then will we starve to death with the mine?" Cheng Yuanqing showed that he didn't believe Sun Miao.

It was Gu Nanchun who answered them: "Since you have paid the vote, why do we still have to deal with you? Isn't it okay to cooperate well? We have no mortal enemies, we are for peace, you are for money, and if everyone cooperates, there will be two benefits and two harms, and it will not be cost-effective." ”

Cheng Yuansu and the two glanced at each other and continued to think.

"We can sign a contract, as long as you abide by the laws of the empire and the decree of the city lord, then the interests of your Cheng family can be fully protected. I, Sun Bin, have never broken my promise. Sun Bin spoke slowly, his voice was very calm, but it was also like a reassuring pill, falling on the hearts of the two.

"Looks like we can't say no. But how to solve the problem of quality? Mineral deposits below the fourth order are not worth the price we have to pay. The quality of this part can't be what you say is a few steps, right?" Cheng Yuansu is also the head of the family, and he still has the courage, and the decision immediately turned to the details.

"We each have a team of people, each of them evaluates, and if the standard is met, the contract will be established, otherwise it will be invalid, rest assured, the quality of that mineral deposit is far beyond your imagination. Sun Miao sat cross-legged and supported his body with his left hand, covering his mouth and chuckling as he watched the head of the Cheng family sign his name on the contract.

"Brother Tiger, send off guests, in the afternoon you take a team of vulture knights and some escort regiments to follow their people. Sun Bin waved his hand and beckoned Zhao Hu to send off the guests.

The Vulture Knight is the strongest airspace arm in the empire, and Thousand Stone City supports two hundred-person squads, and this time half of it was dispatched at once, which shows that Sun Bin is still not at ease with them.

Vulture Knights are terrifyingly mobile and shocking, and most of the Empire's cities are difficult to walk between them. The vast jungle is isolated from each other, and there are countless terrifying behemoths, monsters, and monsters that come out of the Black Gate.

Relatively speaking, the airspace has become a relatively safe road, only need to avoid some fixed danger areas, and the airspace is countless times safer than the land.

Vulture spaceships and so on have become the main way of communication between cities, and ordinary cities can rarely raise a territorial airspace force, not to mention raising two hundred-person squads like Thousand Stone City, which shows the importance of the empire to Thousand Stone City and the wealth of Thousand Stone City.

It's a pity that Thousand Stone City has a special trouble, it is located directly south of the nest of a group of very troublesome Yanyu eagles, on the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, there is only one safe channel around the entire Thousand Stone City for entering and exiting other cities. This has also created a complex terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since the fall of Thousand Stone City, the rift in the Demon Realm has opened widely, and no one has been able to approach it again.

"Then Lord City, let's take our leave, and in the afternoon, Yuan Qing will lead the team and go with the Tiger Master. Cheng Yuansu saluted and slowly retreated. When he walked by Sun Miao's side, he also saluted Sun Miao, and said: "In the past, I underestimated Xiao Miao's adult, which is really terrifying." ”

"I think you're still underestimating me. Sun Miao showed a mouthful of big white teeth at him and said condescendingly.

Cheng Yuansu didn't say anything more, just smiled slightly, walked out of the door of the conference room with Cheng Yuanqing, and was led straight away.

Looking at the two people who kept leaving, Zhao Hu turned his head and looked at Sun Bin: "Do you believe them?"

Gu Nanchun gently dragged out a chair and sat down: "Believe it, why don't you believe it? This is the choice that is in the best interest for them." Could it be that you expect them to share what they have with others?"

Sun Bin looked at Sun Miao, didn't speak, just stared at him, and swept Sun Miao's eyes horizontally.

Sun Miao hehehe, changed his well-behaved appearance, and hurriedly jumped off the table, how could he have half a bit of temperament just now, and ran behind Sun Bin in a few trots and hammered his back.

"The place you gave someone to see, it's a good mineral, with an average grade of about 5. But isn't it a big loss to them like this, wouldn't it be more cost-effective for us to develop it ourselves? It's a bit troublesome to get them, but it's not unacceptable?" Sun Bin ignored Sun Miao's obedient appearance, and didn't think Sun Miao's words were meaningless, but he also felt that Sun Miao's attention was too much to the Cheng family, and told Sun Miao the place where Sun Miao had drawn.

Sun Miao shook his head, once things got to that point, when these families tried to break the net, the fierce and despicable means exceeded Sun Bin's imagination. Otherwise, with the army of Thousand Stone City, how could there be such terrible casualties in order to take down a Cheng family?

Even if Sun Miao doesn't talk about these two mineral deposits now, they will probably be discovered in more than half a year. It's just that the Cheng family found a relatively close mineral deposit, and the people from the City Lord's Mansion found the farther one. However, Sun Miao's report of the mineral deposit point now will immediately attract the attention of the Cheng family and grasp the initiative.

In the previous life, the Cheng family tried to obstruct the actions of the City Lord's Mansion and therefore took action, because the City Lord's Mansion not only had the right to take over the mineral deposit that they had discovered, but also had the right to take half of their discovery, which was absolutely correct in name.

For the Cheng family, the pressure on them from the power of the City Lord's Mansion was already too great, and with these two mineral deposits. The City Lord's Mansion also uses the same technique that Sun Miao used today, but the target has changed. The City Lord's Mansion appeased those who opposed them, and Sun Bin did the same at that time, and the Cheng family was completely isolated at once.

It's just that Sun Bin looked up to those guys too much, and leaked the news to the Cheng family at the last moment. As a result, Sun Bin made a condition to negotiate with the Cheng family in the morning, and Gu Nanchun and Sun Miao were assassinated in the afternoon.

Sun Bin thought of the possible situation at the beginning, but Zhao Hu was only one person, and he was the only one at the top of the City Lord's Mansion, and the assassination that day was so ruthless that even Zhao Hu couldn't protect Sun Miao, so that Zhao Hu was seriously injured and almost died.

Sun Bin asked Sun Miao to leave Thousand Stone City is the solution to this crisis, but Sun Miao himself rejected it at that time, at that time, no, he should mention it to himself again today, if he leaves, there will be fewer important people who need to be protected, and there is no longer a need to invest in a master like Zhao Hu for himself.

Back then, I couldn't understand my brother's hard work, but I just used this reason as an excuse for Sun Bin to try to kick himself away after getting married, Sun Miao lost his temper because of this, so Sun Bin didn't dare to say anything more, and now he blames himself when he thinks about it.

For Sun Miao, the Cheng family is hateful, but these wall grasses are even more hateful. After the City Lord's Mansion united the Xu family, they launched the extermination of the Cheng family, and these wall grasses all hid, saying words that did not help each other, watching the conflict between the two forces. After completely sweeping away the Cheng family, the City Lord's Mansion, whose combat power was also damaged, really had nothing to do with them. In the end, everyone didn't escape that nightmare day, and they all ended together.

Now that Sun Miao took the initiative, he threw out the peaches, and then waited for them to ferment. They can't refuse, because the stakes are too great.

A mineral deposit that can be mined alone, the income obtained in one year can at least be compared to their income in Thousand Stone City for several years, coupled with the minimum proportion promised by Sun Miao and the equipment provided to mine the source crystal, all of which made the Cheng family head drool.

In this case, he does not cooperate, naturally someone cooperates. The Cheng family has to pick it up, and if it doesn't, it has to be accepted.

Sun Miao turned around and took down the map from behind him, put it on the table, spread it out, and pointed to a certain position: "What they gave them is not close, the direction of Qianshi Mountain, and the direction you told you that day, on the contrary, it is much farther." ”

Looking at the location that Sun Miao was pointing at, Sun Bin and Gu Nanchun glanced at each other at the same time, and a strange light appeared in their eyes, they had long been judging that there was a mineral deposit in that place, but they had not been able to find it yet, and now they were directly pointed out by Sun Miao.

"Is this the location you saw in the book? Indeed, it's not very good for us, we really can't just eat it here, it will be more realistic. Sun Bin just scanned the map to come to such a conclusion, but it was a little strange why Sun Miao knew about such two mineral deposits at the same time.

Gu Nanchun looked at the map and said: "Well, it's closer to the blur zone, if we come forward directly, it will cause too much attention, and Fengtao's black-hearted wolf will definitely interfere." We report to the Empire now, and it doesn't take months to settle it, so it won't be too late to do anything when he reacts, we just need to act in the name of the Empire in three years, and we don't have to dream a lot. ”

"Yes, if we go to that place now, it's too easy to cause trouble. The empire handed over Thousand Stone City to our family because His Majesty believed in us, and that was the first point. And the second point, we have no foundation, we don't rely on the strength of the empire, we can't stay in Thousand Stone City, we can only serve the empire wholeheartedly, Thousand Stone City is too important to the empire. Thirdly, no one in the other city lords looked down on us, although they were afraid of us and flattered us, but they were always saying behind their backs that our family relied on luck to gain His Majesty's appreciation, nouveau riche, and dirt buns. Fourth, if we eat this mineral deposit by ourselves, it will help to change our current situation, but the process is too fast, and it will only increase our troubles. The bigger disadvantage is that the range of our control is too wide, and we can't take care of both the hand and the tail. These families gradually lost their status before the Jedi fought back, and the current situation will be very tricky. Rather than this, it is better to hide one, give them one completely, slaughter them by the way, and by the way, give priority to the acquisition of their assets in Thousand Stone City. As for three years later, hehe. Sun Miao smiled slightly nervously. Three years from now? Let's live until two years from now.

Will they give up the part in Thousand Stone City?Sun Bin and Gu Nanchun both fell into deep thought, and the feeling that Sun Miao gave them today was too different from before. After a while, Gu Nanchun said with some unease: "However, you need to pay attention to their tricks, these families have never been fuel-efficient lamps." ”

Sun Bin carefully looked at the map for a long time, and only after listening to Gu Nanchun's words did he reply: "The mine is in such a location, without us coming forward, they can't handle it at all, no matter what method is used, it will be difficult for both of us to eat this mine alone, and the current contract is the best result for them." ”

"Their follow-up treatment does not satisfy us, and it is okay for us to change buyers. For example, Fengtao, if we really take it in our hands and then give them an offer, they will not be able to refuse. Sun Miao dotted on the map.

Sun Bin and Gu Nanchun were stunned when they heard this, and at the same time looked at the place where Sun Miao had pointed again. It's not that they can't think of it, but on the basis of Thousand Stone City, they usually think that the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and they will look for strength and solutions in Thousand Stone City.

Sun Miao's focus was different from the beginning, and he wouldn't mind borrowing other people's strength to deal with the internal problems of Thousand Stone City. If he can find an opportunity to let the empire's legions enter Thousand Stone City, it is also one of Sun Miao's choices to deal with what will happen in two years.

It is meaningful for people to live. Dead people? That's just a thought. Don't dwell on anything that dies, try to live.

Only by living can we take revenge and continue. In order to live, Sun Miao can use everything he can use, just to live. If you die, then there will be nothing left, even if it becomes a curse, it becomes hatred, it is just a piece of nothingness, Sun Miao looked at himself, watched himself every time he closed his eyes and was alone, when he was asleep, the wail of life, the painful compassion, the curse of hatred, the bitter hatred, all of which made Sun Miao unable to fully sink into the concentration, unable to sleep peacefully, yes, it was a demon, but so what?

Isn't that the torrent of demons that the last of the hundreds of billions of lives is just like this? Even so, Sun Miao is still the same, worthy of his own heart.

"Now that this matter has been settled, there will be no need to directly clash with these families for the time being, and I am ready to wait for a while to suppress them by force. Sun Bin said with an expression of sigh and disappointment.

Gu Nanchun glanced at him, turned his head to Sun Miao, and said, "Let's talk about another thing, Xiao Miao, about you." As soon as he heard his words, Sun Bin completely lowered his head at that time, as if he was going to be an ostrich.

"Huh?" Sun Miao tilted his head slightly, looked at Gu Nanchun with an expression of not knowing the situation, stopped waving his hand, sat down on the chair next to him, and secretly said in his heart, are you here?
