"Gold Mine!" you said you were once a gold mine slave?" Li Jun straightened up sharply and exclaimed in shock.

Old man Della nodded and said, "Twenty years ago, my son was convicted by the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department for the crime of wandering the whole family, and after our family was assigned to Edbelay City, he was secretly taken to a mine......

According to the old man Dela, at first he did not know that the mine was actually a gold mine, and he thought it was a power stone mine, or a metal mine.

Because the gold mine is exclusive to the Church of Light, on the Canaan continent, no country is allowed to own gold mines privately, whether at the end of the world or at the cape, and you need to be certified by the church and given the right to mine in order to organize miners and slaves to mine gold.

The mined gold was sent to the church headquarters, and the church made gold coins engraved with the image of the goddess, which were divided into a certain percentage and shared with the kingdom.

Li Jun remembered that there was not a single piece of news about the discovery of gold in Edbelay City, which reached the interior of the empire and was recorded in the relevant materials.

Therefore, if what Old Man Della said is true, then Rusif is too bold to dig into his own money bag after discovering the gold mine, unlike the Empire and the Church, to mine it privately and swallow it into his own money bag!

The northwest frontier is a desert world, and the city of Edbele is ridiculed by the inland officials of the empire as a desolate capital, a city of sin, and even birds don't in that place.

The city of Edbele is one of the few places in the Koro Empire that does not have a church, that is, there is no clergy to supervise it, and the most powerful person is Tarusif, the ruler of the empire.

According to Old Man Dela, when he arrived at the gold mine twenty years ago, he found that the gold mine had been in existence for a long time, estimated to be four or five years, and at that time, the city of Edbelay had only been built for less than a year, that is. Before the city of Edbele was built, Rusif discovered the gold mine, and the existence of the city of Edbelay was built to cover the gold mine!

Such a hand to cover the sky. He is a little Rusif, no matter how shrewd and calculating, it is impossible to say that the empire can suddenly build a city in the vast desert, right?

Commander of the Eighth Army. The lieutenant general who commands 100,000 border troops has a few possibilities!

Li Jun opened his mouth slightly in a daze and rubbed his chin.

The water in the city of Edbele is muddy, it's so muddy!

Li Jun doubted that such a big thing could be done by Gelie alone? Hiding from the world and the sea, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, the empire decided to spend manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build a seemingly chicken city in the vast desert?

If it weren't for Gregory alone. Fooling everyone's attention and suspicion, who is the figure who is even more awesome than Gele? a certain old minister of the imperial capital? a certain grand duke? or Koro XVII himself?!!!

"Well, it shouldn't be Corot XVII, if it's really him, I should choose a more shrewd and trusted courtier, and send a ...... to Edbele City to garrison all year round."

Li Jun smiled bitterly, this trip to the muddy water is really muddy.

Once the matter is known to the Church. In order to maintain the supreme rights and majesty of the Church, I don't know how many people will die, even if it is Corot XVII, I am afraid that they will be held accountable!

It's stealing gold next to a dozing tiger!

After that. My son's wife, because she couldn't stand the hard days and nights of slavery, had an affair with a petty officer, and finally in an accident, my son was killed by the petty officer, leaving me and the newly full moon Rideau to live his own life of prosperity. Old man Della said calmly.

"I don't blame her......" Old Man Della shook his head. Immediately, a trace of indifference flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she said, "She has the right to choose, but she shouldn't cruelly unite with outsiders and kill her husband...... Even if my son is wrong, he has already been punished and should not be punished for any other punishment, so in the events of the other day, I asked a man to cut off her head and hang it next to the grave where my son's body was buried. ”

"What happened the other day?" asked Li Jun.

"It is a group of wildfire sand pirates, a murderous sand bandit group riding a desert fire wolf, purely for the pleasure of killing, erratic whereabouts, almost everywhere to make enemies, Rusif once used the strength of his uncle, gathered 40,000 troops to ambush the wildfire sand bandits, and killed more than 8,000 of the latter in a battle, and became famous! He became the most powerful man in this desert, and his prestige is incomparable. ”

After a few years of silence, they heard the news from nowhere and found that Rusif was secretly mining gold, so they almost set out to conquer two-thirds of the army garrison arranged by Rusif in the gold mine, slaughtered and plundered, and drove away with more than 50 carts and horses loaded with gold nuggets that had just come out of the mine...... It was also at this juncture that we took the opportunity to escape. Old man Della said.

......

Eight hundred miles away from the city of Edbelai, in the middle of a huge military fortress, an undried riverbed, flowing with surging pure water, in the fortress, there are dozens of underground wells, surrounded by a small amount of green grass, poplar trees are arranged, it is completely a paradise in the desert.

The military fortress is slightly dilapidated, with soldiers coming and going, repairing damaged walls, facilities, machinery, etc., as if it had just experienced a fierce battle.

In a room somewhere in the fortress, a middle-aged man with a beard on his face, with a long sword in one hand, turned his back to an officer kneeling on the ground.

The middle-aged man is very burly, and he looks like a vulgar reckless man, no one would have thought that he is actually the chief of the city guard of Edbele City, Rusifu who has been in the desert for more than 20 years and is crowned as the most powerful man!

"General, it was the dereliction of duty of his subordinates that allowed the old sand thief of Wildfire to break through the gold mine fortress, I ......"

"You know ......," Rusif said slowly, and the officer kneeling on the ground suddenly closed his mouth in fear.

"Because of your negligence, how much did you make General Ben lose?"

"Please...... Please, sir!"

Rusif turned a deaf ear and continued: "Because of your negligence, it may cause the general's head to be in a different place, and the head and body to be separated, not only that, but my Uncle Rusif, other officers, and more bigwigs of the imperial capital, will be condemned by the church. The whole family was wiped out, and the blood of tens of thousands of lives was instantly stained red with the Pordotina Inland Sea!"

"Death, please!" said the officer, trembling.

Rusif gave the officer a cold glance and snorted. A flash of sword light swept away his hair, and I don't know how many sword qi it contained, it turned into a cloud of powder in the sky, and it shook down.

"Thou hast followed me twelve years, for thy faithful sake. I will not kill you, but I will get fifty whips myself, and you will be given three days to heal your wounds, and continue to manage this fortress for me. Rusif said coldly.

"General Xie, Kona has nothing to repay, I am willing to follow you forever and be loyal!" the officer cried a few times, kissed the ground lightly, and then walked away lightly.

Rusif grimaced, clenched his fists and crackled.

"Wildfire. I swear to kill you, a thousand cuts!!," Rusif gritted his teeth, his face was full of hideousness.

When!when!

"Come in!"

There was a creak, and a blood-stained lieutenant in armor walked in, none other than Russif's confidant, Papasen.

"My lord, on the way back, we were attacked by the Wildfire Sand Pirates......

"Okay, you've worked hard, I already know all this. If you can come back alive......" Rusiff relieved Paberson, and then asked, "By the way, what about the new chief executive, Mr. Lee?"

Paberson was slightly stunned and truthfully recounted the experience.

"Papasons . How can you act impulsively for your own selfish desires?" said Rusiff with a slight anger.

"My lord, that Li Jun behaved perversely and was very arrogant, I am afraid that bringing him back will hinder your plans. Paperson said quickly.

"Keep him, you can be a scapegoat for us and carry the black pot. If anything happens, you can push it on him, and if he dies, it is estimated that the empire will not send us an unlucky scapegoat in the future. Rusif shook his head angrily and annoyedly.

"General, why is that?"

"A big man in the imperial capital secretly sent a message, saying that His Majesty the King had given the city of Edbelay to that Li Jun as a fief, and he was hereditary to replace him! His death, according to the law formulated by the aristocratic class, needs to expire for five years, and only after it is determined that Li Jun has no heirs and inherits his territory, can he take back the administrative power of Edbelay City. Russifu paused slightly, and then said: "Moreover, at this moment, the location of the gold mine was discovered by the old man of the wildfire, and swept away more than fifty gold cars that we had just come out of the mine.

Looking at Papason's frightened face, Rusif waved his hand weakly and said, "You go down, go to the infirmary to find a priest to heal your injuries first, I have a task for you to complete here." ”

"Yes, General, my subordinates retire. ”

......

"Old man Della, it's old man Della!"

"Oh my God, the goddess is above, he is not dead!"

In a gathering place, more than 30 women, children, and men immediately cheered, and they all had a unified characteristic, that is, they were thin!

Those children, because of malnutrition and lack of calcification, caused their teens to be only as tall as one and a half meters, like Gu Daofu's kindred, dwarfs.

"Old man Della, who is the yellow-skinned man next to you?" asked a thin man with one hand on his back, touching the dagger on his back.

"Dear Tuoer, peace of mind, peace of mind, this is His Excellency Li Jun, my savior. Old man Della hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Tuo Er breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still vigilance in his eyes, nodded at Li Jun, and thanked: "Thank you for your rescue, Tuo is here to thank you." ”

Li Jun shook his head with a smile and asked, "Where are you going?" Judging by the distance you have traveled, it seems that you are heading in the direction of Edbelay City. ”

"Indeed, we intend to settle in the city of Edbele. "Tour.

Li Jun asked puzzledly: "Old man Della has told me about everyone's origins, and he just escaped from the tiger's mouth, why did he want to enter the wolf's mouth in the blink of an eye?"

"The vast sea, as vast as the vast sea, where else can we flee to but the city of Edbelere? Although the city of Edberet is also under the control of Rusif, most of his army and himself have lived in the gold mine fortress for many years, and only occasionally return to the city of Edberet to inspect it...... There should be hope to sneak into the city and find a place to make a home. Old Man Della explained.

"By the way, old man Della, where is your grandson, Brother Riddo?

Old man Della shook his head with a sad face, stretched out his hands to the sky, and said in a trembling voice: "Ridohta...... He has ascended to the kingdom of God and thrown himself into the arms of the great goddess of light......"

Everyone fell silent, their faces full of sorrow.

Li Jun also sighed with feeling, the reality is so cruel, it makes people desperate, angry, and frightened.

After a long time, the old man said to Li Jun, "My lord, where are you going now?

"Me?" Li Jun pointed to his nose, and after being silent for a while, he sighed helplessly, and said with a smile: "Just like you, go to Edbelay City!"

A slightly powerful man, with a group of weak women and children, embarks on a road to hell with no return.

There are many choices in life, and Li Jun just made the stupidest choice.

Because, he, to defeat the most powerful man in the desert - Rusif!

After 20 years of crisscrossing the desert, Rusif, who was crowned the strongest man by the sand pirates, is he an ordinary person and a person who does nothing?

"You ask me, what is my lordship career like? Well, then I'll tell you: it's actually very simple, because here, it's my territory!! they're my people!! back then, I stupidly chose them!! later, they also stupidly chose me!!!

...... Well, this is my lordship life, it's very simple and wonderful~~" (To be continued.) )
