How embarrassing these words were when they came out of the mouth of a stranger, but who knew that these things were only the end of five hundred years ago.

The table is straight and smiling and tells the stories in his mouth, which seem to be looking back on yesterday in the long river of history.

Wang Zhiyi doesn't know, he only knows that in this story, he is the protagonist in everything, and he is the Wang Bufan who is supported and spurned by everyone.

It's a long, long story, and it's been going to be told for years, and it all starts with the newly established Eastern Empire.

The vast land, the galactic universe, the general people live on this barren land.

The lord of the earth, the king who rules everything, conquers the south and the north and fights all his life, pacifies the north and governs the southern barbarians.

A lifetime of conquest to establish this huge Eastern Empire!

However, the king suffered from countless strange diseases in the battlefield, and only then did he know that the destiny of heaven was already the appearance of a sixtieth armor.

The three sons and three daughters under his knees have already been openly and secretly intrigued, trying to take the throne of the king.

The Eastern Empire was established and the territory and frontier were in ruins, the king ordered to push the seal, rectify the frontier territory and repair the war for many years, and the children under his knees all got a territory and immediately rushed to the territory to carry out the lord's rule, and repaired the territory for the benefit of the people, that is, from today, all the improvement of the territory will be used as a screening condition for the future enthronement king, until the end of the promotion The king personally ordered a recall.

......

In the mountains, on a galloping carriage.

"Wow!" The third prince, Wang Bufan, yawned comfortably, "Ah Hao, where are we going?"

Ah Hao, who was driving the carriage, was concentrating on driving the horses, "We have just come out of the Broken Valley, and we are still far away from the mountain town!"

The carriage galloped quickly through the mountains, surrounded by yellow sand that covered half the sky.

Wang Bufan got up and sat in the driver's seat.

Looking at the shocking yellow sand outside the carriage, I don't know what to say.

He was originally born on the earth as a teenager who was obsessed with muscle training, but one day he suddenly crossed over to this poor third prince, and was bullied by his sister, not to mention, even the youngest sixth brother he didn't dare to provoke, anyway, he was the worst among the six crown princes, and everything began to develop in the beautiful direction he expected under his own good operation, and in the end, he gave himself a whole border town as a territory!

"Ah Hao, tell me about the situation in the mountain town. Wang Bufan poked his chin in boredom.

"Okay, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Ah Hao began his long explanation.

In the mountain towns, clean water sources and the sneakiness entrenched here are the biggest troubles, in addition, the mineral resources here are extremely rich, rich in copper and iron ore and even a lot of coal mines, and furthermore, there is a serious shortage of labor in the mountain towns, and the proportion of the elderly accounts for the majority, which has led to the decline of the mineral industry, and people can not produce mines when they are old, so it has gradually become a place where everyone is unwilling to come.

After listening to Ah Hao's explanation, Wang Bufan felt full of malice, and it was simply difficult to establish his own territory in such a harsh place.

Ah Hao looked at Wang Bufan with a sad expression, "The third prince doesn't have to worry, as long as we drive away the sneaky people entrenched in the mountain towns on this trip, we have already done a great thing." ”

"Driving away the sneaky is a thing that improves the situation in the territory?" Wang Bufan was puzzled.

Ah Hao nodded, "Don't underestimate the sneakers entrenched in the mountain towns, these sneaky people are the best of the various ethnic groups defeated by the king back then, and they are entrenched here just to survive the rest of their lives." ”

After Wang Bufan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "According to what you say, wouldn't it be as difficult as climbing to heaven to drive away these sneaky people!"

"The third prince doesn't have to worry, although these sneaky are strong, they are also shrimp soldiers and crab generals, with me, the number one master of the Eastern Emperor, why can't you solve it?" His confident eyes inadvertently revealed something, which made Wang Bufan shudder a little.

Originally, the time to resist the mountain town was noon, but the two of them helped an alien girl who was stuck in the quagmire on the way, so it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived.

This mountain town is really as Ah Hao said, it is a border town with nothing, but when you come to the center of the town, you only see a dozen or so weathered wooden houses, as for the rest, there is only yellow sand flying in the sky.

Wang Bufan looked around, looked at the houses again, and said suspiciously, "Ah Hao, let's... Are you in the wrong place?"

Ah Hao was looking at the map at this time, and carefully confirmed it again and again, "Third Prince, we shouldn't have gone wrong, after leaving the Broken Valley, we went straight to the mountain town, that's right, we didn't go wrong, this is the mountain town!"

However, the scene here is still very different from what he said, don't say anything to drive away the sneaky now, the situation here can be said to be no one!

The yellow sand was rolling, and Wang Bufan and Ah Hao hurriedly led the horses to find a place similar to an abandoned mine cave and hid.

This is an abandoned mine, and some tools for mining are placed outside the mine.

Ah Hao looked at the abandoned mine, and then at the minecart that was still usable.

"Third Prince, it seems that the mining business here is still operating on a small scale. As he spoke, he took the torch and touched the rails, "You can see that the rails are all brand new scratches, and the minecart is very shallow, which means that this place was still in operation not long ago." ”

Wang Bufan was interested, and he also squatted down to look.

"There's something wrong with what you're saying. After saying that, he stood up and rubbed his index finger on the inside of the minecart, "There is not a single slag in the minecart, it is cleaned very cleanly, not so much for transporting mines, but for transporting other things, such as daily necessities - and people!"

Ah Hao suddenly woke up, he looked into the depths of the mine, but it was pitch black and there was nothing.

"Third Prince, do you mean that all the people in the mountain town have gone to the bottom of the mine?"

Wang Bufan nodded, "There is a possibility, but it is not ruled out that it is sneaky, in short, let's stabilize it for the time being, and wait until the sandstorm outside is over before going out to find out!"

"Yes!"

The sky is full of yellow sand, rolling to the ground.

The two of them sat in this mine and felt uncomfortable, they wanted to go out but they didn't dare, they wanted to go deep into the mine, but they didn't have a way.

In the passing of time, the day passed like this.

"Ah Hao, how much dry food and water did we have stored when we came?" Wang Bufan looked at the yellow sand outside the cave worriedly, "If the yellow sand is like today, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long." ”

Ah Hao, who was squatting on the ground and cleaning up the grain reserves, was stunned for a moment, and then slowly stood up.

"Three princes, thirty pieces of jerky, twenty boxes of flatbread and oranges, two cans of seasoning and sauce, and water, we didn't find a water supplement along the way, so that's all. ”

With that, he picked up two small water bags.

Dry food is still sufficient, and you can replace it with oranges for hydration, at least for a short period of time.

Ah Hao looked at the yellow sand that was still whistling outside the cave, and sighed, "Third Prince, we can't sit still like this, or we can go to the depths of the mine to find out while there is still enough dry food!"

Looking at the depths of the deep black mine, Wang Bufan was also helpless.

The consequences of rushing forward are completely avoidable, but if you don't try to move forward, you will only find yourself in trouble again.

Wang Bufan took a deep breath, and he moved his body.

"Ah Hao, hide all our dry food, let's go down to the depths of the mine to find out!"

"Yes!"

Got on the minecart and slipped down with sparks and lightning all the way!

Bang dang - bang dang

The minecart was moving rapidly in the dark mine, and the two of them walked for an unknown amount of time in this area where they couldn't see their fingers, until the minecart "banged" and hit the buffer belt.

Wang Bufan jumped out of the minecart and looked around vigilantly.

Ah Hao lit the torch, and he grabbed Wang Bufan.

"Don't you think it's a little strange, Third Prince?"

Suddenly, Wang Bufan saw the torch in Ah Hao's hand and snatched it directly, "What are you doing, don't you know that there is gas in the general mine, you want to detonate it like this......"

"yes, it's a bit strange to say that's all about me. ”

There is a lot of gas in the mine, and the gas is toxic and cannot be exposed to open flames, otherwise it will explode!

Ah Hao shook the torch with it, "Third Prince, don't panic, this shouldn't be a real mine, it should be just a shelter disguised as an abandoned mine." ”

As he spoke, he took the torch and shone it everywhere.

"You see, this doesn't look like a production mine at all, there's no trace of production everywhere, and it's very strange. "His torches shone on the stone walls on all sides, and there was no hoe in this place.

The minecart is over, and there is no trace of mining here.

"Well, you're right, although the minecart is driving at a rapid speed all the way, it doesn't feel any big downhill and sharp turns, it has been moving at a constant speed, I guess, there should be a platform here that can stop urgently, let's go find this place!"

With that, the two of them followed the railroad tracks that they had just descended, and sure enough, they saw a small platform at a downhill point.

Ah Hao shook around with a torch, "Third Prince, as you said, there is no hole in here!"

Wang Bufan tilted his mouth proudly, "Let's go, let's go in and find out." ”

With a flick of the torches, the two of them cautiously groped their way forward, this small hole in the mine was more than two meters high and more than three meters wide, and they soon felt the slightest cold wind along the way.

Watching the flames of the torch blow to this side, Ah Hao stepped on it.

"Third Prince, we're about to arrive!" he licked his fingertips and walked in the direction of the wind.

Following the wind, the two soon came to the end of the cave, a small underground cavern full of people sleeping on the ground.

When the people in the cave saw the two comers, they were all frightened and hid.

Ah Hao hurriedly stepped forward, "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, this is His Royal Highness Wang Bufan, the third prince of the Eastern Empire, we are here to improve this land!" After speaking, he took out the letter of appointment and showed it to a fellow villager.

A literate old man immediately knelt down when he saw it, "The mayor of the contemptible mountain town has lost his welcome, and I ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince to forgive his sins!"

Wang Bufan looked at this small cave and asked, "Since you are the mayor of Shancheng Town, why did you bring these townspeople to this cave?"

The mayor's gray temples were particularly dazzling under the torches," Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, since the mining industry was cut off five years ago, there has been no population injection in the mountain town, and the children who have gone out for a long time are not willing to come back, and the people in the town are gradually getting old, and the sneakers who originally inhabited the town are also restless, occupying our planting land, and cutting down forests and trees in a large area, which has led to the yellow sand weather that is now coming from time to time, and we have no choice but to occupy the land in the town by sneakily so that the yellow sand gradually covers the entire town. ”

Ah Hao nodded, and whispered into Wang Bufan's ear, "Prince, I don't think he is deceiving, the yellow sand weather outside is indeed caused by indiscriminate logging!"

Wang Bufan looked at the mayor who was kneeling on the ground, "According to what you say, our first task is to drive away the sneaky people who have occupied the planting land!"
