The thought flashed in his mind, Fang Ling had already come to the side courtyard, and stepped in, only to see Xiao Xue standing in the courtyard, with a burden on the table and the long sword on it.

Under the bright moonlight, the beauty is like jade, and the white clothes are better than the snow, perhaps there will be no such beautiful scene in the world.

And as soon as she saw this situation, Fang Ling was shocked, and subconsciously understood what was about to happen, Xiao Xue's physique had reached the realm of being able to absorb the true blood of her life, and she was finally leaving.

Although this woman was arrogant and cold, Fang Ling couldn't help but be attracted to her, especially when she kissed for the first time, she would always appear in her dreams, if she said that she didn't like her, then she was really lying to herself.

However, Fang Ling knew better that since Xiao Xue was leaving, he couldn't stop him, how could a mortal keep a disciple of the Immortal Sect?

Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Xue looked back faintly, her expression was as calm as water, and there was a kind of indifference that rejected people, as if she could see from Fang Ling's face that he knew what was going to happen, so she walked over slowly, approached, and lightly opened her lips and said, "Are you ready?" ”

Fang Ling smiled reluctantly, and suppressed the bitterness in his heart, he strode up, grabbed her thin waist with one hand, and took the initiative to take her red lips, a faint fragrance came to his nose, and the soft plump lips were like water.

Xiao Xue thought that she was ready and could stop her heart, but when her waist was grasped by the tiger at first glance and her lips touched, her heart couldn't help but tremble, this bad boy who would never let go of his opportunity to be light, really didn't abide by this rule in the end.

But for some reason, there is also a sour feeling in my heart, and the bits and pieces of the past three months involuntarily come to my mind and linger.

However, after all, she is a cultivator, and more than ten years of penance will never be ruined because of this trembling heart.

With a ruthless heart, she bit Fang Ling's lip in one bite, and used her mental method to begin to absorb the natal true blood stored in her body.

The pain, the kind of pain that tore off the **, the hot and hot current seemed to be pulled out of the abdomen, and flowed into Xiao Xue's mouth along the blood "liquid", and the lips it touched also became hot like fire.

When everything was calm, Fang Ling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressed the sourness in his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "It seems that I still owe you a request." ”

Looking at the smile of the young man in front of him and the blood marks on his lips that were bitten by himself, Xiao Xue inexplicably had a sour nose, took a deep breath secretly, and tried her best to calm down and said, "Then continue to owe." ”

Fang Ling asked seriously, "Will we meet again?"

Xiao Xue finally calmed down completely, walked to the stone table and picked up the burden and sword, and said lightly: "If there is fate, we will see you again, if there is no fate, it will just laugh and talk." ”

After that, she pushed the door and left, her white clothes were ethereal, and there was no trace in a blink of an eye.

Not long after she left, Su Shi walked out of the backyard, looking at the room wide open, Fang Ling stood in the courtyard in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Ling'er, where is Miss Xiao?"

"Gone. Fang Ling came back to his senses and said with a faint smile.

Su Shi suddenly understood, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "You stupid child, if you keep it, how can she not stay, I, as a mother, can see that this girl looks cold and indifferent, but she also has a good impression of you." ”

Fang Ling couldn't help but smile, and after sighing lightly, he suddenly asked, "Queen Mother, if I have to embark on the path of becoming an immortal one day, will you agree?"

Su Shi smiled lightly, walked over and stroked his head and said: "The mother of the world is just safe for her children, and what the queen mother does is just follow your own path, whether it is to be a common person, to be the king of a country, or to become an immortal, as long as you like it, your mother will support you." ”

Fang Ling was full of emotion, and said cautiously: "Thank you, Queen Mother, but Erchen promised you that if I set foot on the path of cultivation one day, I will definitely make Queen Mother immortal." ”

Su Shi couldn't help laughing: "This palace is not rare and immortal, I just thought, if you can chase this Xiao girl and give birth to a few fat grandchildren for your mother, your mother will be satisfied." ”

Fang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, he didn't expect that such a serious person as the queen mother would actually make a joke.

Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, don't blame me for chasing you in the future, who told me, the mother of this dutiful son, to let you give birth to a few fat grandchildren for me?

Thinking of this, the sentimentality in Fang Ling's heart swept away, there will be a parting, but there must be a time to say goodbye, he will see you again in the future, and he will not let you go again!

Sending his mother back to the room, Fang Ling was about to go to the smelter to inspect the situation, and as soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Hao Tieniu rushing over, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, something is wrong, the thieves are coming!"

"What!" Fang Lingjian raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but be taken aback, he quickly settled down and asked in a deep voice, "Where are they?"

"The sixth mine!" replied Hao Tienu hurriedly.

"I can't avoid it. Fang Ling sighed secretly, ordered the guards to bring two horses to the backyard, and quickly galloped away outside the city after getting on the horses.

There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone the discovery of such a big thing as an iron mine, it is only a matter of time before it reaches the ears of the bandits.

Fang Ling also knows the truth that wealth is not 'exposed', especially under this 'misty' foggy mountain where there are many thieves. It's just that digging mines, building smelters, striking iron, selling iron tools, and not wanting to make a fuss, everything can't be done in secret.

Compared to the robbery of merchants' goods in the mountain roads, the profits of iron mines are so great. It's just that the iron mine has always been in the hands of the provincial capitals and has become an important asset of the country, where the city is heavily guarded, and no one dares to worry about it, but once there is a rebellion in the country, the iron mine is a place where soldiers must fight, and whoever gets the iron mine is equivalent to having a steady stream of weapons.

However, the land of Fengxian is different, outside the city is a lot of "misty" foggy mountains, and the bandits are huge, so when Fengxian is just starting to "color" now, he has already conceived of controlling the forces of Xihe County, and has transferred troops to protect the iron mines.

It's just that I didn't expect that before I could implement this plan, the bandits would already come.

Because Feng County's troops are limited, except for the first mine that is being mined, there are soldiers guarding around it, and the other six mines only send soldiers to patrol regularly.

The six mines are not in a straight line, and the distance from the first mine to the sixth is ten miles long, and the journey through the rugged and winding mountain road is even longer, and it takes nearly half an hour to walk through it.

When they came to the sixth mine, Dong Canghai and more than 30 soldiers were lying on a small hillside.

Fang Ling looked at everyone from a distance, then got off the horse, asked Hao Tieniu to tie the horse, and walked to the hillside, Dong Canghai and the others saw Fang Ling coming, so they all got up and saluted, Fang Ling hurriedly made a boo gesture, and carefully lay down.

Looking down the hillside, I saw a scene of heat under the mine hundreds of meters away.

The sixth mine, the lowest iron and the largest, is "exposed" on the south side of the foothills, and only needs to be dug down 30 centimeters to see it.

At this time, dozens of torches were "inserted" into the cracks in the stones at the foot of the mine, illuminating the place until dawn.

However, because it is surrounded by mountains, if it were not for soldiers patrolling here, it would not have been possible to find mining here in the county seat.

One by one, the thieves were digging the iron ore at the foot of the mountain with tools, and then someone picked the iron ore into an open space and placed it, and someone stuffed it into a special basket, and then another group of people carried it up the mountain road not far away.

The mining, picking, and transporting the mines, the division of labor is detailed, and the order is orderly, adding up to about a hundred people, in addition, there are also people in charge of guarding around, and each bandit is equipped with swords, guns, swords, and sticks as weapons. Moreover, in the place covered by the boulder bushes in the nearby mountain road, there were many bandits with bows and arrows, and the total number of them was nearly one hundred and fifty.

Fang Ling frowned slightly, the other party was really generous, it seemed that he must have 'touched' the strength of Feng County, the young of these bandits were only 18 or 9 years old, they were all young and middle-aged, no matter from the look or from the action, they were not something that the recruits could deal with.

Soon, his eyes focused on a middle-aged man, this man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a disc face, broad and thick eyebrows, and piercing eyes, he was wearing a tiger skin coat, with a knife handle protruding from his back, and was standing on a large rock at this time, although he did not say a word, but from that posture, he should be the leader of this gang of bandits.

Hao Tieniu had already tied his horse at this time, rushed over and lay on the side, holding the knife in one hand, and said angrily: "Your Highness, these bandits are too arrogant, they actually blatantly ran to grab iron ore, should we go and kill him by surprise!"

When he said this, the bloody "sex" men on the side were all fearless, and they all rubbed their hands together, and said in unison: "We are willing to go downhill with His Highness to kill the enemy!"

Although Fang Ling admired them very much for being a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, but this was not the time to be impulsive, he pointed to the dense forest and said: "Do you know how many archers are ambushed there? These bandits have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and it is estimated that many people are very good at archery. ”

Hao Tieniu and the others couldn't help but be stunned, and when they looked at it, they found that there were indeed many arrows emitting silver light in the forest, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It's not that there are no archers on Fangling's side, but there are very few experienced hunters in the county, and it hasn't been taught for a long time, and there are no accurate heads, and it is estimated that long-distance combat is not good, and it is not good in close combat, in terms of number and strength.
