Zong Wusheng did not follow, he and Wu Jia rushed to the Changge Imperial City overnight, rested in an inn for the night, and went to the Shilang Mansion the next morning to say goodbye to Wu Zhen.

After Changge's mission has been completed, Zong Wusheng decided to go all the way back, first go to the border between Changge and Yongji to check out, if it is really as the miner Zhang San said, if there is a good vein, simply open a private mine there, which is also needed to build cars in Weijilang Prefecture.

When they came to the Shilang Mansion, when Zong Wusheng explained their identities, the guards politely introduced them into the mansion. Wu Zhen planned the details of the mine bidding meeting in the study, and when he saw Zong Wusheng and Wu Jia coming, he put down the wolf pen in his hand and greeted him politely.

"Brother Wuzhen, we have already purchased steel carbon, although there are not two hundred cars, but thirty cars is enough for us to use for a while, so I decided to leave today."

Zong Wusheng clenched his fists to explain his intentions, Wu Zhen was very sorry after hearing this, and asked: "Isn't Brother Wusheng preparing to bid for a coal mine, I have already prepared the bidding procedures for you, and it will be held the day after tomorrow." ”

Wu Zhen's efficiency had to be admired by Zong Wusheng, and he arranged it as soon as he said it, however, after Zong Wusheng rescued more than 1,000 miners in the Taierwa Coal Mine, his plan had changed.

"Good brother! I won't hide it from you, yesterday I heard that there is a good ore vein in the borderless land between Changge and Yongji, and I plan to try my luck there, if there is really a vein, I will stay there for some time for the time being, and one day if I encounter trouble and cannot dig smoothly, I will come to bother the Wuzhen brothers. ”

After hearing this, a strange look appeared on Wu Zhen's face, and he suddenly asked, "Did Brother Wu hear about the sneak attack on the Taierwa Coal Mine last night?" ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Zhen stared at Zong Wusheng's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes. However, Zong Wusheng said with a smile: "Yesterday, Wu Jia and I left after buying steel carbon in the morning, and we didn't know about the sneak attack that my brother said. ”

Wu Zhen pondered for a while, and then smiled: "It must have been done by Han Botong's Taiping army, they are extremely dissatisfied with the system of the Changge Kingdom, and there are disputes with the kingdom from time to time, which is not surprising. ”

At this point, Wu Zhen's words changed sharply, and he said with some concern: "If the two brothers are determined to move the ownerless mine, and the brother recommends one for you, you can definitely cooperate." ”

"Oh?" Zong Wusheng was a little surprised and asked, "Who is Brother Wuzhen talking about?" ”

"It's the best friend of brothers." Wu Zhen paced back and forth a few times, worried, "I have heard Ma Li say that the vein that Brother Wu said earlier, and he came from there when he came back this time, and he has seen that vein with his own eyes. I wanted to ask me for some start-up capital to excavate, but I was always worried that he didn't have that strength, so I didn't dare to agree to him, since Brother Wu was also eyeing that vein, I could rest assured if I could cooperate with horsepower. ”

Zong Wusheng suddenly realized, and said angrily: "There are brothers in the four seas, Ma Li is the best friend of Wuzhen brothers, and you can also see the friendship between you as a brother, since the brothers come forward to match, Brother Wei will definitely cooperate with Ma Ma. As for the start-up capital that Brother Ma wants, I don't bother Brother Wuzhen, and the golden ticket brought here for Brother Ma should be enough. ”

Wu Zhen showed a wry smile on his face when he heard this, and said: "You don't need to use gold and silver for your brother to open a mine, my brother has been rewarded a lot by the king for the title of the gold list this time, it is enough to open a mine, and Ma Ma is my brother's benefactor, so I naturally can't refuse him." Wu Zhen's face changed, a touch of cunning was fleeting on his face, and he said: "Ma Ma teased me last time and let my wife stay alone in the empty house, and it won't be so simple to get the start-up capital." ”

Uja interjected at this time and comforted: "Brother, you must not embarrass Brother Mali, at first I didn't understand the relationship between you, but after he sat alone in your marriage room that day, I can see it, Brother Mali has good intentions for you." He originally wanted to use this method to make you feel less indebted to him, sitting alone in your marriage room for one night means that you repay him everything, and you don't owe each other, so you have to persuade you to help if you can, don't miss this friendship. ”

These Wu Zhen naturally understood, and also knew that Wu Jia persuaded him with good intentions, and said a little cynically: "The two brothers don't have to worry about these things, I have already arranged it, and you will leave with Ma Li later." ”

"Since Brother Wuzhen knows it in his heart, then we can rest assured. This is goodbye, the mountains do not turn around, the green mountains do not change the green water, we are destined to see you again. ”

At this time, Ma Li had already packed his belongings and was going to say goodbye. At this time, he was furious in his heart, and he wanted to ask Wu Zhen for some start-up capital for a few days, but he didn't mention it.

Even if there is a shortage of golden tickets, Ma Ma will definitely not ask Wu Zhen for a full request. The husband has something to do and something not to do, he can't live by begging, and if he doesn't help the master here, he has his own help, and the horsepower is leaving.

Just came to the door of the Shilang Mansion, Ma Li looked at the three people in front of the door and was stunned for a moment, although he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't lose his etiquette in front of Zong Wusheng and Wu Jia, and stepped forward to hug his fists and said: "The two brothers, they have been talking very happily in the past few days, and I hope that there will be a chance to get together in the future." ”

Zong Wusheng smiled and hugged his fists in return, and said, "Naturally, there is a chance, we plan to try our luck at the border between Changge and Yongji, can we walk together?" ”

"Huh?" Ma Li was happy on his face and said, "I'm just going to go there, so let's go all the way with the two brothers, how about we leave?" ”

Wu Zhen didn't get angry and ignored him, and said with a smile: "Your father should be able to go back today, and I won't keep you, hurry up and go back to reunite with your family." ”

"Humph! White-eyed wolf! ”

Ma Li snorted coldly, and didn't even look at Wu Zhen.

Zong Wusheng and Wu Jia had no choice but to smile to hide their embarrassment, "Then let's take our leave!" ”

"Farewell!"

……

On the border between Changge and Yongji, there is a borderless land with a radius of 300 miles, and Yongji and Changge have agreed in advance that no one can cross this 38th parallel, and if they station troops in the borderland, it will be a naked, naked, naked declaration of war.

As a result, non-aggression treaties are observed between the two countries, and only occasionally one or two small countries that rely on the Eternal Halberd Kingdom for their survival are occasionally haunted here.

Among these small countries, Zhongshan is the most ferocious, they live by hunting all year round, all of them are brave and ruthless, and their individual combat strength is outstanding, so most countries are reluctant to provoke them.

Zong Wusheng and his entourage had already arrived at the Borderland at this time, looking at the endless grassland, a gust of wind blew, and the knee-high grass was like a turquoise ocean, with bursts of green waves.

Ma Li pointed to the lone mountain in front of him, and the peaks and peaks loomed behind the mountain, and said: "In front is the boundary mountain, the ore vein I said is in the boundary mountain, the miners rescued by the no holy brother may have reached the boundary mountain, let's speed up the footsteps." ”

Zong Wusheng smiled slightly, kicked his feet, and his body shot out, stepping on the green grass with a straight trace, "Then let's race." ”

"Okay, let's see who gets to Boundary Mountain first!" Ma Li readily agreed, and went away with Zong Wusheng's electric shot. Ujah was not far behind, and galloped across the prairie, with a high-pitched and loud shout from his mouth.

People said that Wangshan ran a dead horse, and Jieshan seemed to be in front of them, but the three of them actually ran for an hour before reaching the foot of Jieshan.

Stopped, fine beads of sweat appeared on the faces of the three of them, and this hearty run made their bodies just warm up. Ma Li said: "There is a dilapidated village not far from the mountain road, and our Ma family lives here temporarily, so we will go to our stronghold first and then make careful calculations. ”

The three of them walked around the tea room again, and finally saw a dilapidated village, and were about to enter when they heard a faint cry.

Ma Li was shocked and shouted: "It's not good, is something wrong with our Ma family?" After speaking, he galloped away.

Zong Wusheng naturally heard the cry as well, and it was the cry of a group of people, worried that something would happen, so he glanced at Wu Jia and followed behind.

There was a house in the middle of the dilapidated village that was still intact, and it was from there that the cries of hundreds of people came, and the three of them had already come to the outside of the courtyard, listening to the mournful cries inside, and the horsepower could clearly distinguish the cries of his father and mother.

Ma Li Niang cried and howled, "Son, how can you bear to abandon us? How can I live without your mother-"

Ma Buchang also shouted in pain: "Wu'er-Dad is back, but you are gone, you don't even let Dad see him for the last time, you are really an unfilial son-"

Ma Ma felt that something was wrong, why did Daddy cry about himself, as if he was dead. Zong Wusheng and Wu Jia looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, Zong Wusheng thought of some clues in his mind, and his tense heart eased a little, and said, "Brother Mali, you go in and have a look." ”

Hearing Zong Wusheng's instructions, Ma Li then remembered to go in and take a look, as if his legs were as heavy as lead, step by step into the courtyard, and when he saw hundreds of people from the Ma family kneeling behind a vermilion coffin in the front, crying bitterly.

The father and mother were lying on the huge coffin, slapping the lid of the coffin vigorously, crying to death.

"Daddy-Mother-"

Horsepower exclaimed, "What are you guys doing here?" ”

Hearing the voice, everyone in the Ma family turned their heads at the same time, but when they saw Gongzi standing in front of them alive, they all shouted in horror, "Haunted!" ”

Ma Li's father and mother were extremely shocked at this time, looked at the child who suddenly appeared, and then looked at the coffin on which he was lying on it, and wondered: "Aren't you dead?" ”

Ma Li Niang ran to Ma Ma quickly, stroked his face and said, "It's really my child, you come quickly, it's really a child." ”

Ma Buchang also rushed in with an arrow, looking the child up and down, "Hahaha...... It's really my son—"

Ma Li was confused, and looked at the tablet on the coffin in front of him, and it was written - Horsepower's coffin. "What the hell is going on?"

"Didn't you meet someone sent by Uzhen before you returned? They had just left, and with this big coffin, they said that you were seriously ill and died in Changge King City, and he ordered someone to send your body back. ”

Hearing this, Ma Li could no longer suppress the anger in his heart like a volcanic eruption, and shouted angrily: "Wu Zhen-you are not only a white-eyed wolf, but you are actually teasing my family like this, I will kill you-"

Roaring angrily, Ma Li picked up an axe from the root of the low wall next to him, rushed to the coffin and angrily split it, "click", the coffin was split horizontally, and the inside was scattered with dazzling light, and a coffin full of gold, silver and jewelry was scattered all over the ground.

Everyone in the Ma family looked at the gold and silver jewelry all over the ground, and their eyes widened in horror, even though the Ma family was very rich at that time, they had never seen so much gold and silver jewelry.

"Look, there's an envelope there."

Ma Li turned his mind from his doubts, picked up the letterhead and looked at it, and the cover was written in a beautiful little seal - My brother Ma Li respects Qi.

Opening the envelope with trembling hands, Ma Ma muttered word by word:

Brother Mali: See the words like faces! Don't blame your brother for using such a trick to tease you, it's really you who played the treasure first, and the brother reciprocated. Wu Zhen knows horsepower, and sees people's hearts for a long time. You let my wife stay alone in the empty room, and I will make your family cry! Seeing this, it's time for Brother Ma to smile. Brother, Wu Zhen.

"Hahahaha......" Ma laughed out loud, laughing with tears in his eyes.
