Chapter Seventy-Two: Black Gold Veins
Three days later, the lobby of the Mengjia family!
Meng Zhan leaned on the back of the chair and watched Li Kun and Xue Hong talk and laugh!
"Xue Hong, you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!" Li Kun looked surprised.
Xue Hong, who was sitting opposite him, grinned, but soon the injuries on his body were affected, and the pain made him grin!
After more than half a month of recuperation, Xue Hong picked up a life from the brink of death.
At the same time, because he wanted to block Chidong's knife at the beginning, Xue Hong had no choice but to condense the qi and blood of his whole body to rush to the second secret trick!
Although he couldn't get through the second secret trick, but in a life-and-death fight, the second secret trick has already been washed away by him! I'm afraid that it won't be long before Xue Hong can completely open up the second secret trick mentioned in the method of qi and blood rushing without danger!
When the time comes, it will be certain to cultivate for the Great Advancement!
"Old Ghost Li, this second secret is what I bought in exchange for my life, what do you have to taste!" Xue Hong twitched the corners of his mouth, and a sharp pain came from his chest, and his bones there had not yet recovered.
However, the martial artist's qi and blood are strong, as long as he can pick up a breath, his recovery power is several times more terrifying than that of ordinary people!
The two were talking and laughing there, but Meng Zhan on the first seat was a little unwilling!
Xue Hong was shrewd, and when he saw that Meng Zhan seemed to have something on his mind, he waved his hand at Li Kun and said, "Meng Zhan, but are you worried about the battle between Great Qin and Great Wei this time?"
Meng Zhan's eyes wandered, he glanced at the two of them, and hesitated not to speak!
Seeing his demeanor, the smile on Xue Hong's face gradually disappeared.
What kind of character does the fat man have, he is clear, he generally does not show it when he encounters problems, and he will never fake others for what he can solve! Unless he encounters something difficult to solve, there will be this state of uncontrollability!
Xue Hong tried to ask, "What happened to Mengjiabao?"
Seeing Meng Zhan sitting there and not answering, Li Kun scolded: "Meng Fatty, do you have something to hide from us?"
Meng Zhan's eyes moved, he smiled bitterly, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't say if he didn't say it! He opened his mouth and called Uncle Qian outside the door in, and then nodded at Uncle Qian!
Uncle Qian understood, his eyes stayed on Xue and Li for a while, and then retreated for the time being.
After a while, Uncle Qian walked in with a black wooden box. The wooden box seemed to be quite heavy, and Uncle Qian's body bent down involuntarily.
When he came to the main hall, Uncle Qian put the black wooden box on the table beside Meng Zhan!
Xue Li and the others glanced at each other, not knowing which one Meng Zhan was singing!
"Uncle Qian, open the box!" Meng Zhan sighed.
"Yes, master!" Uncle Qian stretched out his hand and untied the copper lock on the black wooden box, and then slowly opened the wooden box under the curious eyes of Xue and Li!
After the wooden box was opened, Uncle Qian looked at Xue Li and said, "The two heads of the family, please take a step forward!"
Li Kun and Xue Hong stood up from their chairs when they heard this, paced to the table, and looked into the black wooden box.
In the black wooden box, there are black particles like fine sand, these black particles are faintly golden, and after a bright light, they flash and flash!
Looking at these black and gold particles, Li Kun rubbed his eyes, "Fat Meng, if I'm not mistaken, this is ...... Black gold?"
Xue Hong stretched out a hand and picked up a handful of black gold particles in the wooden box, and the black gold particles were heavy in his hand and slowly trickled down between his fingers.
Xue Hong said with a solemn face: "It's really black gold!"
As he spoke, he looked at Meng Zhan, "Meng Zhan, where did you get all this black gold?"
"Dig it up!" Meng Zhan said!
"Where did you dig it from?" Xue Hong looked shocked and uncertain, thinking that Meng Zhan had inadvertently discovered a black gold vein from somewhere!
"Just dig it out of our Mengjiabao black iron concentrate!" Meng Zhan's words were amazing, and Xue Li and the others were shocked and speechless for a long time!
After a while, Xue Hong swallowed his saliva and looked at Meng Zhan, "Really?"
"Then can there be a fake?" Meng Zhan closed his eyes and kneaded his eyebrows with his fingers!
"Wha!" Li Kun suddenly let out a long laugh, startling both of them who were caught off guard!
"Sick!" Meng Zhan scolded!
Li Kun's eyes widened, "This is a black gold vein, isn't it worth being happy?"
Xue Hong didn't hurry to speak, the value of the black gold vein, I'm afraid no one doesn't know! A black gold vein was suddenly discovered in the black iron concentrate in Mengjiabao, it stands to reason that Meng Zhan is not excited about this kind of good thing?
But at this moment, Meng Zhan is full of sadness, something must have happened!
"Meng Zhan, tell me the truth, what's going on?" Xue Hong said calmly.
Meng Zhan's mouth opened, and after a long time, he said: "The fact that my Mengjiabao has a black gold vein is known to the Ding family in Liucheng County!"
"Ding family, Ding Moxie?" Xue Hong's body was shocked, and he noticed that something was wrong!
"When did it happen? Also, how did Ding Moxie know that we possessed the Black Gold Vein?" Xue Hong was in a hurry, and several wounds that had not yet healed suddenly collapsed, and the blood that flowed out stained his clothes red!
"Xue Hong, don't worry, be careful of the wound!" Li Kun said on the side!
Meng Zhan sighed, and had no choice but to detain the five caravans of Mengjiabao by Dawei, he wanted to use the money to get people, and then during that time, Mengjiabao was in urgent need of money, so he thought about selling a little black gold and said it!
After Xue Hong listened, his face turned red with anger, he trembled his palms, pointed at Meng Zhan and said, "Meng Zhan, you are confused, you are not absolutely sure, how can black gold be easily revealed?"
Meng Zhan looked ashamed, knowing that he was at fault for this matter!
Uncle Qian on the side couldn't help but say: "Master Xue, the master was also forced to be helpless at that time, and he was anxious to rescue the people of Mengjiabao who were detained in the prison of Wuhua County Government, so he made this decision!"
"Then why didn't you mention it to us when you dug up the black gold vein?" Xue Hong glared at Meng Zhandao!
Meng Zhan was afraid that he would think too much, so he hurriedly raised his head and explained, "It's only been more than two months since the discovery of the black gold vein, and you know that black gold must be refined before it can be extracted. Half a month ago, I just extracted the first batch, and I was supposed to find the two of you to surprise you, but unfortunately it happened that the caravan was seized by Dawei, so I thought about selling some of the black gold first!"
Meng Zhan looked annoyed, "Who would have thought that the Ding family's forces were intertwined, and they would know that the black gold was from the hands of Mengjiabao!"
After listening to Meng Zhan's explanation, Xue Hong's mood calmed down a lot, he sat back in his chair, and said in a deep voice: "Since Ding Moxie already knows about this matter, he must have sent someone to come and make conditions, and want us to let this vein out, right?"
Li Kun didn't speak on the side, he was not good at intrigues.
Meng Zhan nodded and said, "It is true that the conditions have been opened!"
"What conditions?" Xue Hong asked.
"Ding Mo wants to exchange the black iron concentrate in Huangfeng Fort with us!" Meng Zhan said with a gloomy face!
"The black iron mine in Huangfeng Fort?" Li Kun glared and slapped the table, "Who doesn't know that the black iron mine in Huangfeng Fort produces low-grade black iron essence?
"Ding Moxie has also added 300,000 taels of silver!" Meng Zhan continued!
Xue Hong tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, "If the black gold vein is not discovered, although this condition has suffered some losses, it can be reluctantly accepted! But now that he knows that there is a black gold vein in it, Ding Moxie still bid so low, it is clearly a robbery!"
"It's too much of a deception!" Li Kun had a gloomy face, and slapped his palms on the table.
Xue Hong ignored him and looked at Meng Zhan, "Have you agreed to his conditions?"
"Are you stupid to me?" Meng Zhan snorted twice.
"That's a refusal?" Xue Hong said.
Meng Zhan shook his head, "Not yet, the people of the Ding family are still in the fort, and I haven't given an answer yet!
"What else is there to discuss, don't change!" Li Kun waved his hand bluntly!
Xue Hong sighed, "The Ding family is the top clan in Liucheng County, even if there are ten Mengjia Castles, it can't be compared, the wisest choice is to accept the conditions offered by the Ding family!"
Xue Hong said, sighing, "It's just...... I'm afraid that many people can't leave their homeland!"
Once the conditions of the Ding family are agreed, the Ding family will never allow the people of Mengjiabao to continue to stay here, and they can only drag the family to move to Huangfeng Fort.
Meng Zhan nodded, they have been living in Mengjiabao for more than 20 years, and now let them leave, I'm afraid many people can't accept it!
Meng Zhan had a headache, "Otherwise, let's drag it first!"
