In the blink of an eye, January passed. During this month, Fang Ze made every effort to prepare. adjusted the state of the second law body to the peak, and his cultivation also improved to the middle and late stages of the first star. For cultivation, Yinhuan is very hard, and almost every day can guarantee more than ten hours of hard cultivation. On the other hand, Tianyan seemed a little lazy, probably planning to let Fang Ze get him a spirit crystal to cultivate.

Looking at these two, one diligent and the other lazy, Fang Ze couldn't help but sigh and walked out of the courtyard.

Fude Money, in the corner room on the third floor. Sitting across from him was still the slightly chubby middle-aged woman, Guman.

Looking at the ledger handed over by Gu Man, Fang Ze frowned. Because the plan he had customized was deviating from the track he had envisioned. Sun Boyu actually took the money for the second installment, and now the Sun family only has 30 million spirit crystals left on the account. This is the third installment of the Sun family's money, and it should be taken away in another month. Sun Boyu is very cautious and buys moon-earning products every time. The 30 million in this third issue was only obtained by the county guard government using some means.

Looking at Gu Man, Fang Ze asked, "At that time, the Sun family came to withdraw money, didn't they let them buy more?"

Gu Man spread his hands and said: "I have said all the good and bad things, Sun Boyu just said that it is approaching the end of the year, and he wants to pay the guys." After the New Year, he will definitely buy more. ”

Fang Ze closed the account book and said, "Aunt Gu, you help me keep a close eye on this money." If the Sun family sends someone to pick it up within this month, don't give it first. I'll get everything sorted out within a month. After speaking, Fang Ze jumped out of the window and left Fude Qianzhuang.

After waiting in the small courtyard for several days, I finally waited for Zhao Rui's figure.

On this day, the sky was dark and heavy. Outside Dayang County, within Dayangling. There are several sparse farmhouse courtyards, one of which is filled with smoke. A village like this, or a place like this. Who's house has what kind of movement, within a few days can be spread. For example, whose family has sold the house, and whose family has the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law......

can't escape the gaze of those long-tongued women at the entrance of the village. It was also in this way that Zhao Rui and Zhao Nan learned about the traces of Fang Ze and his party.

At this time, in the living room, three steaming teacups, along with the hands of a girl, were placed in front of the table of three men. In the main seat of the living room, there sat a young man in a gray and white cotton linen shirt. On the left side of the living room, there sat a burly middle-aged man in black and a young man in black. These two people are the only two survivors of the Zhao family, Zhao Nan and Zhao Rui.

A few people were briefly familiar, and Fang Ze found that this Zhao Nan was much more enthusiastic than Zhao Rui. After a few words, it was like an old friend. Zhao Rui, who was sitting next to Zhao Nan, had been silent, cold as ice.

I saw Zhao Nan walk in front of Fang Ze and slowly open a map. The map is marked with circles and some directions.

After Fang Ze looked at this map, he couldn't help but sigh: "This map of Zhao Nan can be drawn, scale, peaks, rivers, routes...... Everything but the kitchen sink. This kind of drawing ability is not like his work that he can do. ”

Zhao Nan pointed to the circle on the map and said, "The place where the circle is drawn are several mines of the Sun family, but they are all worthless mines. Even if you rob it, it can be worth millions of spirit crystals. ”

Zhao Nan's hand moved on several circles on the map, and then Zhao Nan's hand continued to point to the location of the circles. said: "These places are among the Sun family's smuggling routes, and several places must pass through. As for how big a fish can be caught, I don't know. ”

looked at Zhao Nan's eyebrows fluttering, pointing and saying. is as restrained as when they first met before, and it's like two people. It seems that Zhao Nan likes to do this kind of thing very much, and this kind of thing is also his specialty.

Zhao Nan joined the army with his elder brother when he was young, and because of his poor cultivation talent, he focused on other small means. When I was in the army, I also did the work of sneak attack, theft, and ambush. Although the strength is not very strong, its position in the army is still good. Later, Zhao Tong had a son, and he was tired of wandering in the army, so he retired from the army with Zhao Nan.

The superiors saw his merits and arranged for Zhao Tong to be the supervisor of Dayang County. Zhao Nan couldn't make his contribution in the army clear, so he gave Zhao Nan a subsidy of five million spirit crystals.

Back in the place, Zhao Nan was idle all day. The only job is to help my brother do something, something that is inconvenient for the official. After a long time, the name of the thief Zhao Nan also sounded. However, few people know that he is Zhao Tong's younger brother.

After Zhao Nan finished talking about the words in the picture, he seemed to be a little unfinished. continued: "Young Master Fang, I personally think that if you destroy several smuggling routes of the Sun family first, in this way, the Sun family's cash flow will be paralyzed. After that, we destroyed those mines and destroyed everything in the Sun family. ”

After listening to Zhao Nan's words, Fang Ze smiled in his heart. "This Zhao Nan doesn't know anything about marching and fighting, and it seems that he is also a non-commissioned officer with super executive ability when he is in the army. Fang Ze thought so, but said, "This plan is very good, but I feel that it will be better to attack the mine first." ”

"Why?" Zhao Nan asked puzzled.

Fang Ze pointed to two of the mines with his finger and said, "These two are the most profitable ore veins of the Sun family, one is iron ore and the other is copper ore. As you just said, these two mines are guarded by people from the late stage of the first star and the early stage of the second star. If we attack these two mines, the Sun family will definitely send people to support. When that happens, we can divide a group of people to attack the people and horses that the Sun family has come to support. ”

Zhao Nan slapped the table and said, "Wonderful, I see that others have used this trick of yours, and you call the encirclement point to send reinforcements, right?"

Fang Ze smiled and continued: "At this time, it is the month of Layue, and many stores are not very stocked. Now, if you rob a business trip, there will basically be no big fish. So I think it's better to rob the mine first and weaken the strength of the Sun family to the greatest extent. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Rui, who had been silent, said: "Fang Gongzi's plan is feasible, and I still ask Fang Ze to plan this battle." ”

Fang Ze looked at the four people and one beast present, and his fingers turned the ring. Said slowly: "I'll go to Niujiao Mountain tonight to investigate, and we will meet at this place at twelve o'clock tomorrow night." ”

As he spoke, Fang Ze pointed to a location on the map at the corner of Niujiao Mountain.

Seeing this place, Zhao Nan and Zhao Rui wrote it down in their hearts.

Niujiao Mountain is located in the north of Dayang County, and the mountain has four peaks. They are: Wuniuding, Lao Niubei, East Horn Peak, West Horn Peak, with an average altitude of 600 meters. Here on the map is a mountain peak, the vastness of which can only be known after a field trip.

Fang Ze sat on Tianyan's back, looking down at the mountain of Niujiao Mountain. The East Corner Peak and the West Corner Peak are both cliffs. Looking at the faint bonfire below, Fang Ze determined the location on the map. There is the direction of Lao Niubei, and it is estimated that the Sun family's mine is on Lao Niubei.

Not far from the old cow's back, Fang Ze and Tianyan slowly fell. Under the shade of a tree, carefully observe the mining of ore.

The way of mining copper ore in this world is relatively developed, and it has learned simple mechanical kinetic energy. The mine adopts inclined shaft operation, which is based on the principle of "cost distance and save effort". First, use Luoyang shovel and other tools to determine the location of the mineral, and then open a tunnel diagonally. The tunnel angle is 15 to 30 degrees, and the miners go to the ground several hundred meters underground, and then the mining work is carried out.

Once the mining is complete, the rough is transported out of the ground using wooden or iron blocks. There were more than a dozen big men on the ground, divided into several groups, to pull the ropes that connected the pulley.

Through observation, Fang Ze saw that the four wheels of this pulley were made of iron, and the body was made of wood. In this way, the worker will work more laborlessly. Truckloads of rough stones were carried out of the ground by the block and piled up in the far reaches of the square. And in this place full of rough stones, some workers use homologous spiritual instruments to sift through the rough stones rich in copper.

The homology instrument is an instrument that can detect the same kind of substance. Generally, a two-star refiner can make it. Any substance such as gold, silver, copper, and iron can be refined using a special method to refine it into the corresponding homologous spirit instrument. Depending on the material, some can detect rough gold ore and some can detect rough silver ore. And the employees of this mine are obviously homologous spirit instruments of the copper ore rough that they hold.

The spiritual instruments in the hands of several workers flickered and dimmed, and when they saw that there was an extremely bright one, they put it into a vow. If the brightness is slightly worse, it will be placed in another ring. In a few moments, a high-class ring was filled. A worker in charge of the ministry sent him to a small house. When he came out, he had a new vow in his hand.

Fang Ze glanced at the location of the house and silently wrote it down in his heart. Finally, he looked around and observed the situation around him.

The Sunjia Mine is located on the mountainside of Lao Niubei, which was originally a gentle slope. For the purpose of mining, the area was dug into a square mile of flat land. Near the mountain, there is a row of houses. The structure of the house is very simple, a bit like a board house on the earth in the previous life.

Under the exploration of eye and soul power, there are more than 300 people in the mine. Among them, there are two two-star monks, eight one-star monks, and more than 30 monks in the Guiyuan period. And most of the strong people are all in the house. Some are reading, some are talking, some are drinking tea, and some are eating.

A small, independent house in the middle. A thin man sits on a simple bed and sits cross-legged. Next to it, more than a dozen high-grade Na rings are stacked at random. Under the perception of the soul, it is not possible to see the person's appearance.

Retracting his thoughts, Fang Ze glanced at the night clothes he was wearing, and tightened his trouser cuffs and cuffs. Transmit a message to Tianyan: "Son, you are waiting for me here, you can't move or make a sound." I'll go ahead and check it out, and I'll be back in a minute. ”

Through the shroud of darkness, Fang Ze moved closer to the independent small house little by little. The Tiangan footwork drove Fang Ze's body, and the two forward jumps came to the window of the small house. I poked my head out and looked inside through the gap in the window.

I saw a young man, sitting cross-legged on the bed. He was holding a special technique in his hand, as if he was practicing some kind of special technique. The young man was extremely thin, with no muscle or fat on his body. It seems that under the tender white skin, there is just a dry bone. The young man's body exuded a spiritual power as black as ink, and he entered and exited, refining the young man's body.

Seeing this situation, Fang Ze understood that the young man was cultivating extremely strange exercises. Judging from the throughput of spiritual power, this young man is at least a mid-two-star powerhouse. Not daring to disturb the young man's cultivation, Fang Ze slowly withdrew his gaze. After that, he looked at the situation in the other rooms, and then returned to Tianyan's side under the drive of Tiangan footwork.

Riding on Tianyan's back, Fang Ze said, "Son, let's go." ”

Tianyan flapped his wings cautiously and left the mine silently.
