When Li Xin'an saw the Silver Valley gathering place again, a lot had changed here.

Instead of continuing to mine in the mines, the displaced people trained around the gathering place, some with captured weapons, and those without weapons with wooden sticks and other things.

The expression on their faces was no longer numb, but full of hope, and even with sweat on their faces, they could feel more energetic than before.

Some combat-experienced fighters inspected back and forth between the trained homeless, correcting and directing their movements.

Tie Lei Mountain was also among them, and Li Xin'an saw him at a glance, at this time he was teaching a homeless boy how to chop and chop.

"Look, Grandma, that's the captain. ”

Li Xin'an pointed to his grandmother, and then waved his hand while shouting: "Captain~Captain~"

Tie Lei Shan raised his head, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and was very surprised to find that it was Li Xin'an, and immediately walked towards him.

"Looks like everything went well last night. Li Xin'an said to Tie Lei Mountain.

"Well, we've subdued all the gathering places, and we've cleaned up all the Frost City soldiers in all the mines, and now this mountain is our power. ”

"Haha, we're taking a big step towards success. ”

Li Xin'an said happily, and then introduced his grandmother to Tie Lei Mountain.

"Captain, this is my grandmother, she adores you. ”

Tie Lei Shan smiled heartily and greeted his grandmother: "Hahaha, you must have praised me too well, hello old man, I am Tie Lei Shan." ”

Grandma excitedly shook Tie Lei Shan's hand and said, "I heard my grandson say about you, and my illness was cured by you."

And you can stand up and lead our outcasts against the rule of those nobles, what a savior for us. ”

Tie Lei Shan shook his head and said, "This is what I should do, I have a blood feud with those people, and those nobles are moths in Frost City, we must overthrow them for the future of Frost City."

On the contrary, I should thank your grandson for saving me from prison. You have a good grandson who is both wise and brave. ”

Grandma was very happy when she heard Tie Leishan praise her grandson, and hurriedly said to Li Xin'an:

"Give the pancake to your captain to taste. ”

"Okay" Li Xin'an took out the pancake from the ink snow and handed it to the captain.

The captain took a big bite and gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious." ”

"Haha, of course, my grandmother's craftsmanship is super good, Chen Ping, there are still a lot of them in my storage, take it to them and try it." ”

"They shouldn't have woken up yet, not long after they fell asleep, let's go and rest first, your and grandma's room has been arranged, you put your things in first." ”

"Good. ”

Tie Leishan took Li Xin'an and his grandmother to the gathering place, and as he walked, he told Li Xin'an in detail what happened yesterday.

Li Xin'an has a clear understanding of the current situation.

"It seems that our first step has been successful, and now that we have the base camp, it's time to think about what we should do next. ”

Grandma looked left and right all the way, pointed to some intact buildings and said to Li Xin'an: "Good grandson, this place is much better than our gathering place, and this is the case with Frost City." ”

Li Xin'an laughed: "Grandma, this is a large gathering place, it must be better than ours, but it is still far worse than Frost City, I will take you to live in Frost City in the future." ”

Grandma said happily: "Haha, okay, let's go and see the hot spring lake too." ”

It didn't take long for the three of them to reach the center of the gathering place and saw a tall building.

Li Xin'an once stayed here for one night, and the building is extremely strong, and it was originally inhabited by Chen Ping and his backbone.

Now Tie Lei Shan and Huo Yunlan also live here, and there are many rooms in it, which is enough for Li Xin'an and Grandma to live in.

After pushing open the door, he found that Chen Ping had woken up and was sitting at the table reading the map.

"Yo, wake up so early. ”

Li Xin'an said hello to him.

Chen Ping raised his head and saw Li Xin'an and the old man next to him, immediately stood up, walked over and said to his grandmother cordially: "You must be Liu Xin's grandmother, you have a good grandson." ”

Li Xin'an still used Liu Xin's name in Frost City, and only told Zhou Wenwen his real name in this one, Li Xin'an.

Li Xin'an said to his grandmother: "He is Chen Ping." ”

Grandma immediately became enthusiastic, and grabbed Chen Ping's hand and thanked him, which made Chen Ping very embarrassed, and finally Li Xinan pulled away from grandma.

Li Xin'an took out all the pancakes, put them in a stone pot and put them on the table, Chen Ping ate a few, and he was also full of praise.

"I'll take you to where you live first, and I'll have something to discuss with you later. Chen Ping said to Li Xin'an.

"Good. ”

Chen Ping and Tie Leishan took Li Xin'an and his grandmother to a room in the backyard.

When you open the door, you can see a garden, which is full of hardy flowers, and it is very beautiful, this is grandma's room.

Li Xin'an's room is next door to her grandmother.

Subsequently, Chen Ping called two clever homeless girls to help grandma pack up her things and chat with grandma, which made grandma very happy.

"Grandma, you can rest here, and we'll discuss something. ”

Li Xin'an said to her grandmother.

"Okay, let's get down to business!"

Li Xin'an and the three of them left the room and came to the hall.

"What, what's the situation, I see you were looking at the map just now. Li Xin'an asked.

Chen Ping said: "I just received the news that my spies found that a team of soldiers were chiseling stones in the canyon to block the way, and there were even transcendents, and according to their progress, they would be able to open the canyon in three days.

I wonder if we're going to make some obstacles and get some gravel down the canyon like we did last time. ”

Tie Lei Shan opened his mouth and said, "I have taken down all the easily damaged places above the canyon, and what is left is a very solid whole boulder, which is difficult to cut down.

And I'm worried that if the damage is too great, the canyon will collapse completely, and then it will be difficult for us to get out. ”

Li Xin'an asked, "Can we directly go to war with them now?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "No, although we have more people than them, we still lack weapons and armor, and there will be great casualties in the battle." ”

Li Xin'an asked: "Don't we have a lot of ores, how about making some by yourself." ”

Chen Ping shook his head again: "No, although there are hundreds of tons of ore now, we don't have the equipment to smelt here, and we don't have craftsmen who can craft weapons, these are only in Frost City." ”

Li Xin'an thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the caravan and buy some, just sell the ore in our hands, what do you think." ”

Chen Ping said: "But how do you buy it? Now the road in the canyon is blocked, and you can't get out, and there are many soldiers guarding outside, and you are heavily guarded, so it's easy to get caught when you go out." ”

Li Xin'an smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Have you forgotten? My war pet can fly, he can fly me out, and I can change my appearance, so it's safe to go out. ”

Tie Lei Shan thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, almost all the mines here belong to the Frost family, and there are only a small number of other nobles, and now that we have robbed so many minerals, the Frost family must be in a hurry to grab them back."

Let's sell these minerals and exchange them for weapons and armor as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

I agreed to sell the minerals to the caravan. ”

Chen Ping nodded: "I also agree." ”

Li Xin'an then asked, "What else do you need besides weapons?"

Chen Ping thought for a while and said: "We still need some food and medicine, the current food is only enough for us to eat for a week, and after we and Frost City start head-on, there will definitely be many injured people who need medical treatment." ”

Li Xin'an asked, "Why is there so little food?" ”

"There is very little grain in the fields around the gathering place, which cannot meet the needs of everyone, so every year part of the grain in the gathering place is sent by us leaders to buy it in Frost City and then sell it to the displaced people.

But now that the frost city is strictly managed, we can't get in. ”

Li Xin'an then asked, "Okay, what else?"

Tie Lei Shan replied, "If you can, buy some lethal imperial tools, which you will need when fighting the soldiers of Frost City head-on, I remember that every time the caravan came, they would bring some imperial tools for sale.

The number of our transcendents is small, and each transcendent is precious, and equipping them with imperial tools can increase their strength. ”

Chen Ping thought for a while and said, "There is nothing else, let's sell half of the minerals first, and keep the other half for emergencies." ”

Li Xin'an said: "Okay, then I'll go and exchange the ore for weapons, armor, food, medicine, and imperial tools." ”

Chen Ping nodded: "Well, that's all, let's go to the warehouse, and I'll give you the ore." ”

"Good. ”

Chen Ping took Li Xin'an and Tie Lei Shan to the warehouse, which was very heavily guarded.

The warehouse is in the deepest part of this building, the gate is made of fine iron, which is difficult to open, the four transcendent beings at the door are on guard here, and there are many very lethal imperial tools around.

Even if a third-level transcendent comes here to rob, he will not be able to escape with his whole body, and he will even die here.

Chen Ping came to the door and exchanged the code with the vigilant transcendent, and then took off the jade plate hanging around his neck and pasted it on the door, and the door suddenly opened.

The three pushed the door open and walked into the warehouse.

Li Xin'an originally thought that the warehouse was a big room, but he didn't expect it to be just a small room of dozens of square meters.

There are many cabinets neatly placed in the room, and there are many drawers on top of each cabinet.

Chen Ping opened one of the drawers and took out 10 bags the size of rice bags, embroidered with mysterious patterns and strange materials, and handed them to Li Xin'an.

Li Xin'an touched it with his hand, and the material of the bag looked like cloth and animal fur.

Chen Ping explained, "This is a gopher space bag, a low-level imperial tool, made of the stomach pouch of the Xuan-level creature big-bellied gopher supplemented by other materials, the stomach pouch of the big-bellied gopher has certain spatial characteristics and can fit a lot of things."

So the space pouch made from its stomach pouch serves the same purpose as the space ring.

It's just that it contains fewer things, the security is lower, it's easy to break, and it can't be branded with its own mark, and anyone who gets it can take out the contents directly, but the price is also cheaper.

Now each space bag contains 1,000 catties of ordinary ore, including iron ore, copper ore and gold ore.

By the way, this gopher space bag can't be put in the storage, it will be damaged immediately. ”

Then he handed Li Xin'an a ring.

"This is filled with 100 catties of dark iron ore, a first-class refining material. ”

Li Xin'an tied the gopher space bag to his waist and took the ring.

Chen Ping instructed: "The most important thing this time is weapons, armor and food, and the caravan has not been willing to get involved in the dispute of Frost City since ancient times, in previous years, it was directly with the city lord to trade minerals, I don't know if they are willing to trade with us."

You don't want to expose your trading intentions directly, as that could be dangerous.

Contact them first and make sure it's safe before you trade with them.

Safety first. ”

Chen Ping said as he handed Li Xin'an an an ordinary basket woven from vines.

"Put the gopher space bag in here, you're too obvious now. ”

Li Xin'an responded: "Okay. ”

He took off the gopher space bag and put it in the back basket, and then carried the back basket to his back.

The three men left the warehouse.

After arriving at the hall, Li Xin'an asked Chen Ping for a set of clothes.

His clothes were worn during the rescue of Iron Thunder Mountain, and he might be recognized when he wore them around Frost City.

Chen Ping and Li Xin'an were about the same height and size, so they gave Li Xin'an their clothes.

Li Xinan changed his clothes and said goodbye to his grandmother.

Then he walked out of the gathering place, and Tie Leishan and Chen Ping followed him to see him off.

"No need to send it, captain, Chen Ping, you go and get busy. ”

"Stay safe. ”

"Hmm!"

After saying goodbye to the captain and Chen Ping, Li Xin'an walked in the direction of the canyon, and only when there was no one around did he summon Astro Boy.

Although these homeless people are now his own people, Li Xin'an still habitually hides his abilities.

At present, there are not many people who know his ability, except for Tie Lei Mountain, Chen Ping, and a few people close to him, that is, Su Wu and the city lord, these great enemies.

But these enemies all thought that Li Xin'an was dead, and no one would think that he could survive Su Wu's pursuit.

"Astro Boy took me to the caravan station. ”

"Okay, Ann. ”

Astro Boy flew to the top of the canyon with Li Xin'an in his arms, and looked down, and sure enough, there were many soldiers cleaning up the boulders in the canyon.

"Be careful, don't let them see it. ”

"Good!"

Astro Boy flew with him across the canyon out of sight of the soldiers, and silently flew towards the caravan station.
