Naturally, Jinglan would not tell Ash's identity so easily.
For her, without knowing why Ash wanted to hide her identity, she would expose it to her face now, although the past between Concubine Ling and Ash would be very interesting if she made everything clear now, but it was really not conducive to the next action.
Under Jinglan's persuasion, Concubine Ling and her nearly a thousand men and horses naturally agreed to the intention of cooperation between the two sides, and for Concubine Ling's decision, Mo Lin also raised his hands in agreement, to be honest, he was really a little afraid of the black armor army under Ash, compared to this nearly two meters tall, well-equipped, well-trained humanoid beasts, he only felt that the pampered noble soldiers under his command were like weak children, although their side had an advantage in numbers, but if it really fought, It may not really be the opponent of the other party, not to mention that in a small forest like this, the numerical advantage will be reduced to a minimum due to the terrain.
Even the words he had said to Concubine Ling in the hiding place before were just to show the other party's courage and not want her to be too depressed.
With the nod of Concubine Ling and Mo Lin, the soldiers under their command naturally did not continue to have the intention of arguing with Ash and the others, they all put away their weapons, and silently gathered with their own leaders to the side of the black armor army, and because Luo Daier was still in the palm of Ash's hand, the people of the Luo family were even more obedient, and they lined up almost immediately, very conscious.
After a while, after the two sides were all ready, they immediately set off in the direction where Yinzhuo was, although the two sides were all the way, but they were distinct, it seemed that both sides had not completely let go of their vigilance against each other, but forced to do this form, it seemed that there was no big problem in achieving temporary cooperation.
In order to express her sincerity at this time, Jinglan walked generously in Concubine Ling's team, talking to her without a match, while Ash on the other side did not say a word to Concubine Ling and Morin from beginning to end, nor did she have any intention of talking to Jinglan, and she didn't even look up at the other party.
In Jinglan's opinion, he did this only because he had led people to kill Concubine Ling and the others too many people before, and he was afraid that coming forward at this time would ruin the relationship between the two parties, but she didn't know that Ash at this time didn't take this aspect into account at all.
At this time, he was taking off his left glove, and looked at the bracelet on his wrist in a daze, the bracelet clearly showed that the gold reserves in his hand had begun to beat slowly!
The gold began to increase, which means that Johnson's action has been successful, this news makes Ash excited, if it weren't for Jinglan and the others still on the side at this time, he really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh a few times!
If he wanted to develop his power, he had to collect a lot of food, timber, stone, and gold, and of these four resources, only gold was the most rare, and in those days he didn't even worry about it for a day.
Now that this problem has been solved, his mood is really indescribably comfortable, Ash has decided, wait until this is the case, he will find a way to get some food on the way back, buy and rob it, and when he returns to Zhongnan Valley, he can use the resources at hand, he can let his power start to develop by leaps and bounds, maybe it won't be long before he can no longer hide in that small Zhongnan Valley, he can walk out of there with his head held high, and explore and even occupy this empire and even this continent to his heart's content, This piece of the world!
Thinking of this, Ash grinned for a while, and after a while, he finally collected his mood and turned his head to look in the parallel direction of Jinglan and Concubine Ling, but at this moment, he happened to meet Concubine Ling's gaze.
The hatred in Concubine Ling's eyes was not concealed at all, Ash noticed the other party's strangeness almost immediately, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he only looked at her for a short moment, then looked away, and turned to Jinglan, who was dressed in pale golden armor and looked heroic.
"I'm sorry, this time, I'm sorry for you first."
Ash sighed silently in his heart, his plan had succeeded, and now what he had to do was to slow down the movements of everyone in the Qiming Mountain Range as much as possible, the longer it dragged on, the more gold he could secretly collect, this matter was obviously not a good thing for Jinglan.
Roughly calculated, normally speaking, when he and Jinglan annihilated the forces of Yinzhuo's side one by one, and let Concubine Ling and the others withdraw from here, it would not take a few days at most in the current situation, but if he deliberately released the water, it would be another situation, and he was even confident that he would drag on the matter here for a month.
In fact, Ash wants to do this, there are really many ways, he can quietly send a few people, and sell the information of his own people to Yinzhuo and others anytime and anywhere, so that the other party can continue to escape the pursuit of his own side, and he can deliberately make some conflicts with Ling Fei and others, causing discord within their team, taking the lead in fighting, stirring up the situation into a puddle of mud, and even if he quietly informs his subordinates, it is okay for everyone to collectively pretend to be sick after dinner one day.
Of course, even so, for the sake of the passion of that night, after the time dragged on long enough, in order not to make Jinglan too embarrassed, Ash would still cooperate with the complete eradication of Yinzhuo's gang, and even then, the mining of a gold mine could not be completed in a day or two, and at that time, Jinglan would have to deal with the aftermath of Yinzhuo and others' deaths, dispatch enough manpower, transport mining equipment, establish a temporary base, and carry out various pre-mining preparations, exploration, surveying, and after opening the mine, If the amount of mineral reserves in the gold mine is not much, it is even possible that by the time Jinglan makes all the preparations and actually starts mining, the contents of the gold mine may be hollowed out by the 50 farmers under Ash!
And 10,000 steps back, no matter what the situation is, according to the agreement between Ash and Jinglan, when Jinglan really starts mining, there will be Ash's share!
So now, these struggles in the Qiming Mountains at this time don't really mean much to Ash, no matter what, he will be the biggest victor.
"If you learn about this one day, you'll hate me to death."
Ash looked at Jinglan's figure from afar and said secretly in his heart.
…………
"Brother Yinzhuo, the soldiers I sent out just came to report and found that the people of the Lan family have arrived twenty miles away."
Just as Ash and Jinglan and Concubine Ling were advancing on the road, on the other side of the Qiming Mountain Range, where Yin Zhuo and the others were hiding, Qiao Mai spoke to Yin Zhuo with a solemn face.
It was in a dry and wide cave, which was supposed to be the nest of some kind of animal, but after being carefully tended, it became the temporary headquarters of Silver.
At this time, Yinzhuo was lying on his back on a soft animal skin, holding a golden and crispy roasted pheasant leg in his hand, eating with a mouth full of oil, unlike Qiao Mai in a military uniform, Yinzhuo was wearing a loose regular dress at this time, and his right ankle was wrapped in a circle of bloody gauze, which was left by the stray arrow when he fled in the last battle.
After listening to Qiao Mai's words, Yin Zhuo also temporarily put down the chicken leg in his hand, and after chewing a few times, he asked with a gloomy face: "Just a person from the Lan family?" And what about the Blackarmor Army? ”
"No trace of that group has been found yet."
Hearing this, Qiao Mai shook his head and said, "According to the soldiers who explored the way, only the people from the Lan family came here, and the number was around four hundred, and they didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to advance, and now they have set up camp in a clearing twenty miles away from us, as if they were making some preparations. ”
"They're waiting for those Black Armorers!"
When the words fell, I saw Yin Zhuo 'phew', and said hatefully: "In my opinion, that black-armored army must have gone to find Concubine Ling's stinky ** trouble, and those people from the Lan family outside are waiting for the other party to clean up Concubine Ling, and then come to meet them, so as to wipe us out!" This is to kill us all together, bastard, who gave her Jinglan the guts! ”
Hearing Yinzhuo's words insulting Concubine Ling, Qiao Mai's face stiffened, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show his displeasure in person, so he had to respond vaguely twice, and then immediately said loudly: "Brother Yinzhuo, now the other party is blocking the only exit in and out of the Qiming Mountain Range, and there is an endless swampy jungle behind us, this is no way back!" In my opinion, we might as well take advantage of the fact that the black-armored army has not arrived, and kill it now......"
"No! Let's wait! ”
Before Qiao Mai could finish speaking, Yin Zhuo interrupted him: "The manpower that my Qishan family arranged outside the valley in advance did not appear according to my plan, this is not normal!" In my opinion, I'm afraid that the people who are waiting outside the mountain range now are no longer from my Qishan family, if we rush out so recklessly now, even if we win the battle, maybe we will meet the black armor army on the way out of the mountain range, and we may also meet the people from the Ou Lai family, and even if we really rush out, I'm afraid ...... It will also be eaten by the people arranged there by the Lan family! ”
As he spoke, Yinzhuo gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face twitched one by one, looking very angry.
And when he said this, Qiao Mai was also lifeless in an instant, he knew very well that although this silver carving looked like a complete waste on the surface, and it was very unbearable to be a party, but his brain was not stupid at all, and even much more clever than him Qiao Mai, and now that he was scrutinized like this, he naturally believed it immediately, and then he had no idea.
The strange silence lasted in the cave for a long time, and it was not until half an hour later that Yinzhuo suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
I only heard him sigh and said, "There's no way, Brother Qiao Mai, you go and give an order to the people below to take out those 'Divine Fire Thunder'." ”
"Divine Fire Thunder? Brother Yinzhuo! Those divine fire thunders, although we can also use some, but they are all planned to be used when mining is opened, and there is not much at all, and the rest of them are all handed over to the people of the Lawrence Empire! ”
I saw Qiao Mai's body shocked, and he said hurriedly with a panicked face: "If we use those divine fire thunders here, how will we explain to the Lawrence Empire and your eldest brother in the future, not to mention, once that thing is used, it will also explode a large area, in this kind of dense jungle place, in case of a mountain fire, we will also be annoying!" Moreover, if we don't clean up the other party's people, let them run away one or two, and spread the matter outside, we will definitely be finished! ”
The divine fire thunder that the two of them are talking about, is a weapon exclusive to the Lawrence Empire, to put it bluntly, it is a specially configured explosive barrel, which is also a portable catapult exclusive to the Lawrence Empire, similar to a small trebuchet, and the explosion is very powerful, although this thing looks simple, but with the scientific and technological level of the Verte Empire, it really can't be made, if the outside world knows that he has a large number of divine fire thunder in his hands, then a charge of treason will definitely not be able to escape.
"Which is more important, the five hundred divine fire thunder or our little lives!"
The next moment, I heard Yin Zhuo shout angrily, and then said: "We can't count on that gold mine for the time being, no matter what, we have to escape alive now!" As for the Lawrence Empire and my eldest brother's side, I will find a way to solve it, although it is not realistic for our Qishan family's secret arsenal in the imperial capital to create five hundred divine fire thunders for a while, but it should be ...... to find a way to delay it and tell them to hurry up and make it It's still possible to barely make a difference, anyway, we won't send them, it's just a matter of sooner or later when the goods arrive, as the biggest internal response of their Lawrence Empire, they shouldn't be so easy to turn against us. ”
Speaking of this, Yin Zhuo seemed to have a foundation in his heart, only to see him stand up with some difficulty, then reached out and patted Qiao Mai's shoulder, lowered his voice and said: "Secretly inform you and my subordinates, let them keep an eye on the people of the Yanyang family, and if the news leaks out at that time, all the responsibility will be put on their heads, with this statement, the rest of the matter will naturally be handled by you and my family elders!" ”
Hearing this, Qiao Mai's face changed, and he said heavily: "Brother Yinzhuo, what do you mean ......?"
"Anyway, Ganglie is already dead, and their Yanyang family has no this only son, and they will definitely ask you and me for their crimes!"
I saw that Yinzhuo's face was ruthless, and he sneered: "Instead of this, it's better to let them do the last good thing for us...... Remember, no matter what, when we get out of this mountain range, none of the Yanyang family will be left behind! ”
