Seeing that the situation had taken a 360-degree turn, Tie Zhu's subordinates were at a loss for what to do, and they ran up one after another and asked, "Boss, but they ...... it?"

"What is it that can't be? I'm your boss, they're my brothers, and naturally you're your boss, do you hear me clearly?" Tie Zhu interrupted his subordinates with a wide glare, and announced directly to them.

The subordinates looked at each other for a while, and then they all nodded and shouted, "Yes, I heard clearly!"

"Hmm!"

Tiezhu was very satisfied with the obedience of his subordinates, these people finally did not disgrace themselves in front of their new brothers, and it seems that they should use more dim sum when training them in the future.

After the two sides turned enemies into friends, Tie Zhu took Qin Tian and the four of them back to his headquarters. The space here is very spacious, not much worse than the headquarters of the No. 3 mine, but it does not have as many independent small rooms as the headquarters of the No. 3 mine.

As the boss of the No. 2 mining area, Tie Zhu had his own independent room, and in this room, which looked very simple, Qin Tian and the four of them sat together.

Tie Zhu prepared a lot of food for Qin Tian and the four of them, and in this kind of resource-scarce mine, food is always the best gift for entertaining guests.

Looking at the iron pillar who was busy preparing food for them personally, Qin Tian suddenly felt that this was really a very interesting person.

"Tiezhu, if you want to treat us as your own brothers, you don't have to be so polite!Sit down quickly, let's have a good chat!" Qin Tian was the first to speak.

"Boss, I don't know what to talk about?"

Tiezhu ran over and sat down, and then asked innocently.

"Don't talk about anything! Let's just talk about family life, like who else is in your family, why did you get caught here?"

"Oh! I still have my father, my mother, and my brother in my family, and they were all arrested by Cai's people. The Cai people threatened me that if I didn't listen to them, they would kill my mother and them, so I came here with them. ”

Speaking of this, Tie Zhu's face was angry, he looked at Qin Tian and asked, "Boss, were you also arrested by the Cai family?"

Qin Tian nodded and said, "Yes, we were just passing by Caiyi City, planning to go in and buy something by the way, but we were unlucky enough to be caught by the Cai family as spies. ”

"Oh! That's right! My father told me last month that there is a shortage of people in the mining area, so the Cai family has been using various reasons to arrest people from outside to come in and work, and there are many people who have been arrested like this by my father. The iron pillar suddenly realized.

"Your father told you?" Yan Qiu asked suspiciously.

"Yes! Tie Zhu said affirmatively.

"Didn't your father get caught by the Cai family's people, how can you still meet at will?" Qin Tian also asked suspiciously.

"My father was indeed caught by them, and they had to rely on my father to help them smelt ore and make weapons, so they didn't dare to do anything to my father, and they gave us a chance to meet once a month. ”

"Oh, so your father must be a well-known blacksmith?"

"Of course, our Tiejiazhai has been making a living from iron for generations, and my father is the best blacksmith in the village. Tie Zhu said proudly.

"Since your father is also short of people, why don't you let you work with your father and them? It stands to reason that a skilled job like a blacksmith is better than a new one?" asked the fat man Yan Qiu with a puzzled expression.

Tie Zhu had an embarrassed expression on his face after hearing this, and he said curtly: "Because I can't strike iron!"

"What? The blacksmith's son can't make iron?" Yan Qiu had a look on his face.

Tie Zhu's face turned red with shame after hearing this, and he said unconvinced: "What is this?

"You two are really brothers!" Yan Qiu said with a look of defeat on his face.

"Of course!" Tie Zhu said with an affirmative expression.

Qin Tian saw Yan Qiu's expression that he couldn't bear to look at directly, then smiled and asked Tie Zhu: "Your family has been making a living from iron striking for generations, why can't you and your brother learn to strike iron?"

"Because our master didn't let us learn, he said that learning to strike iron would delay the time for cultivation, so let us practice with peace of mind. ”

"Master?" Qin Tian and Yan Qiu glanced at each other, then stared at the iron pillar and asked.

"Yes, our master is a great master, and his strength is greater than that of me and my brother combined!" Tie Zhu said with a look of adoration, his expression revealing a deep sense of longing.

"Since your master is so stakesome, then why don't you let him come and save you?" Yan Qiu asked with a small roll of his eyes.

"Because he didn't know that we had been arrested, he left after teaching us how to cultivate, and I hadn't seen him in years. Tie Zhu said a little depressed.

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know. He only told us that after we broke through the innate realm and became real martial artists, they would go to Tianzhu Mountain in Zhongzhou to find him. But I don't know where Tianzhu Mountain is in Zhongzhou?"

From his intermittent conversations with Tie Zhu, Qin Tian also learned a lot of useful information, Tie Zhu's father, Tie Ye, was a master of weapon making, and was now in charge of the technical work of the two factories as the head of the smelter and the craftsman's factory.

And Tie Zhu's younger brother Tie Dan was arranged in the No. 1 mining area, because he also has terrifying brute strength and strong martial arts like the iron pillar, so he became the boss of the No. 1 mining area.

From the mouth of the iron pillar, Qin Tian found a very suspicious place.

Tie Zhu and his younger brother Tie Dan's work arrangements are all in charge of the mine guard, Ma Jun, and he actually turns a blind eye to the two brothers' blatant formation of forces.

As long as the two brothers can arrange for the men to mine enough ore every day, then he will provide enough food to the mining area so that they do not have to worry about starvation, as if he is completely defenseless against the actions of the two brothers.

It is very strange that it is impossible for a man like Ma Jun not to be vigilant about the expansion of power in the mining area.

However, these questions were not something that Qin Tian and the four people who didn't plan to stay in the mine for a long time were not something they needed to know urgently, so they didn't study them in detail.

After getting the permission of Tie Zhu, the fat man Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai began an exciting treasure hunt again.

Thanks to the help of Tiezhu's men, Yan Qiu's treasure hunt went very smoothly, and within two days they had turned the entire No. 2 mining area upside down.

However, it is a big disappointment that there is no bastile ore found here, and what is strange is that there are not many balite here, and the quality is even more average.

The fat man Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai were naturally disappointed by such a result, but Tie Zhu was very happy, this was the first time they had discovered the dark iron ore in the mine, and they had also found three places at a time, how could this not make him happy?

The value of the dark iron is naturally not comparable to that of the cold iron, with these dark iron veins, then they can exchange more food from the Ma army, and maybe they can also exchange it for some meat? Tie Zhu himself has not tasted meat for a long time.

Regarding Tie Zhu's idea of telling Ma Jun about the Xuantie vein, Qin Tian objected, and he called Tie Zhu over and said, "Tie Zhu, are you going to tell Ma Jun about the discovery of the Xuantie vein?"

"Yes, boss. This way we can change a lot of food, and my men don't have to spend as much time working, so I can spend more time training them. Tie Zhu nodded and told Qin Tian his intentions.

"What's the use of training your subordinates, do you want them to mine better?" Qin Tian was a little confused about Tie Zhu's way of thinking.

"Hehe, boss, I have a secret to tell you, don't tell anyone else!" Tie Zhu suddenly said to Qin Tian mysteriously.

"What secret?" Qin Tian was stunned.

"We will be able to escape soon, and then you will go with us, boss!" Tie Zhu grinned and whispered to Qin Tian.

"What? what the hell is going on?" Qin Tian was taken aback, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart but had no clue.

"Someone told me that something big was going to happen recently, and if I wanted to escape and save my father, then I had to prepare in advance. ”

"Who told you?"

"I can't say that, but I promised him, and I must not break my word. ”

Qin Tian looked at the serious iron pillar and frowned slightly, he thought for a moment before he spoke: "If you don't say it, I know, it's Ma Jun, right?"

"Ahh......h You ......" Tiezhu was taken aback.

Qin Tian got the answer from Tie Zhu's expression, but this answer made him fall into deeper contemplation. His brow furrowed deeply, what was Ma Jun's purpose? Could this be a trap?

"Boss, I didn't tell you who it was, why did you ......?" Tie Zhu still couldn't figure it out, how did he know the boss before he said it?

Qin Tian stretched his frowning brows slightly, then patted Tie Zhu's shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry, you didn't break your promise, I guessed it." ”

"Oh! I see!" Tie Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't say it himself, it wouldn't be a broken word.

"You can tell Ma Jun about the Dark Iron Vein, but you can only tell him that he has found one, and it was accidentally discovered by your men. Don't tell him anything else, especially about me and Yan Qiu, understand?" Qin Tian thought for a moment and said to Tie Zhudao.

Tie Zhu nodded stunnedly, and then asked, "Then do we still want to strengthen our training?"

"Yes, of course, and we will start training together tomorrow, we will train a working team, this mine is probably going to change!"

"Change the sky?" Iron Pillar asked, puzzled.

"Changing the sky means that something big is about to happen!" Qin Tian added when he saw that Tie Zhu was puzzled.

"Oh?!"

Tie Zhu was stunned and responded, and he didn't know if he really understood.
