Volume 2 Tianyun Hegemony Chapter 99 There are spies
Yan Rong looked at Wang Ji with a very dangerous look, and Wang Ji couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Pingshanzhai and Heishizhai are both within a radius of Caiyi, but one is located east of Caiyi and the other is located west of Caiyi, so there are not too many opportunities to get along. However, no matter how little they get along, their peers in the same area still know each other very well.
As the biggest force here, Heishi Village is not blown out by mouth, but by the successive owners of Heishi Village who fought east and west with knives. There are many surrounding forces exterminated by the Cai family, and there are many exterminated by Heishizhai. In particular, Yan Rong is a person with high military strength, brave and resolute temperament, and all the surrounding forces that disobey him will never escape his poisonous hands, so he has accumulated great power among the surrounding cottages.
Compared with Heishi Village, Pingshan Village can only be regarded as a second-rate cottage, and when he usually sees Yan Rong, Wang Ji doesn't dare to take a breath. It was only in a hurry just now that I blurted out those words that offended people.
Now Wang Ji regretted it to death in his heart, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, squeezed out a smile and said, "Master Yan, I didn't doubt what you meant." I just want to reassure everyone. ”
"Yes, Yan Da is in charge, this matter is very important, and it is also appropriate to ask a little clear. Kou Liang glanced at Wang Ji with a little meaning, and then said for him to relieve the siege.
Yan Rong stared at Wang Ji for a while, and then said unhappily: "The matter of internal affairs is a matter of confidentiality, and it is inconvenient to inform you." However, Yan Rong swore in the name of the previous owners of my Heishi Village, what Yan Rong said was true, and if there was half a lie, he would definitely not die. ”
"Since the head of Yan Da dares to swear in the name of the previous generations of village owners, then this matter must be true. It's just that where is this large black iron mine?" Wei Liao then asked.
Yan Rong looked at the expectant eyes below and said slowly: "It's in Cold Spring Mountain!"
"Hanquan Mountain, isn't that a cold iron mine? The cold iron produced there in the past few years is very famous in the surrounding area! Could this be a fake?" Wang Ji asked suspiciously.
"Hmph! It's not fake! But the cold iron ore is just the appearance released by Cai Yong Lao'er in order to confuse outsiders, and the real and most valuable thing is the dark iron ore associated with the cold iron ore, which is the main material that can refine magic weapons! And the most important thing is that this is a large ore vein, and its output is extremely amazing. Whoever can own such a vein is equivalent to having a continuous cornucopia, and its power will be amazingly improved. It's no wonder that Cai Yong Lao'er started the idea of this thousand-mile fiefdom. Yan Rong said hatefully.
"Hanquan Mountain Iron Mine, no wonder Cai Yong is a lot older, and he wants to rob other people's daughters as concubines, it turns out that this is the idea!" Wu Sheng suddenly realized and understood the motive behind Cai Yong's strange behavior.
"This incident has made the whole Western Continent boiling, and the motive behind it turned out to be this! Haha! This matter is wonderful! I was still hesitating, we have so many cottages to unite to deal with Cai Yong'er, will the other seven clans intervene in it, and even join forces to deal with us, after all, no matter how Cai Yong's old man is, he also represents the official power. But since this matter is related to the Cold Spring Mountain Iron Mine, then things are much easier!" Han Zhang smiled happily.
"That's right! This is really wonderful! This Cold Spring Mountain Iron Mine is not Yong Cai Lao'er's! Hehe! This Cold Spring Mountain territory belongs to the Ram Clan, and the Ram Shen Ke has publicly said that if anyone can rescue him and his family from Cai Yong'er's hands, then whoever can get half of the Cold Spring Mountain Iron Mine will be able to get half of the Cold Spring Mountain Iron Mine! We can just use this as a reason to deal with the Cai Clan justifiably. Jiang Di also smiled proudly.
Kou Liang couldn't help pinching his beard and nodding when he heard this: "This matter is promising! After all, this ram Shen is also a hereditary baron canonized by the human emperor, although this ram clan has declined, its power is not large, and the people are not prosperous, and there is only one daughter in the next generation, and there is not even a male heir." But no matter what, this ram Shen is still alive, so the affairs of this ram clan's territory cannot be decided by Cai Yong, a cheap son-in-law. ”
Although I am thousands of miles away, I have also heard that Ram Shen once claimed that after the discovery of a large iron ore in Hanquan Mountain, he first reported it to Cai Yong Lao'er, wanting to obtain the official mining authorization of the Emperor. But this Cai Yong not only did not report to the emperor according to the regulations, but also wanted to forcibly accept his daughter as a concubine, and used this as an excuse to forcibly occupy the mineral deposits, so as to gain both personal and wealth. Hmph! This must be true, otherwise Ram Shen would not have announced the astonishing decision to divide the mineral deposits equally. Xiong Ba finally came back to his senses at this time, and he expressed his disdain for Cai Yong's behavior.
"Well, the big boss Xiong is right! This ram Shen has disappeared without a trace since announcing such a shocking decision. I'm afraid that he was either killed by Cai Yong Lao'er, or where was he locked up, so where should we go to find him?" Wei Liao asked with a frown.
Yan Rong looked at Wei Liao, who was frowning, and sneered: "What are you looking for the old man of Ram Shen? We just need a fair reason to send troops, find him out, will the benefits really have to be divided in half by him at that time? Have you forgotten that we are thieves, not officials?"
Wei Liao slapped his thigh and laughed: "Haha! Master Yan is right! He Cai Yong and Lao'er officials don't care about this rule, so why should we thieves care about it so much!"
According to the rules of our green forest, whoever grabs it belongs to whomever it is. He Cai Yong can rob it, and we can naturally grab it!" Kou Liang set the final tone for this matter.
"Since Elder Kou also said so, then I think no one here should object, right?" Yan Rong asked with a serious face to the small village owners present below.
"Nope!"
"Nope!"
"Let's listen to the arrangements of all the big bosses!"
The small village owners present below have expressed their agreement, the cottage world is like this, in fact, as long as the big village owners decide something, the small village owners below have no right to object. Because the owners of the village who once opposed it, the grass on the graves is probably taller than people.
Now that the matter has been decided, the next thing is the arrangement of manpower. In situations like this, the Black Stone Village, as the host, must be done with all the manpower. Because once the benefits are obtained, then the Black Stone Village, as the host, must be the one with the greatest profits, and naturally it will have the most effort.
According to the rules of the trade, the number of other villages depends on the size of the benefits. Since this is a strategic material such as a large black iron mine, and the opponent is the Cai clan, one of the eight major clans in the Western Continent, each village must make the greatest efforts in terms of manpower to ensure the chance of victory. After a lot of bargaining, it was finally decided that each village would take out half of its strength.
Among them, the six villages each sent 500 soldiers and 300 vassals. The other small villages each sent 100 to 200 soldiers, and the vassals were unified with 100. In this way, the scale of 5,000 soldiers and 3,000 vassals was finally pieced together, for a total of 8,000 people.
Such a large-scale troop movement is probably the largest among the cottages in the Western Continent in the past 100 years, which also seems to indicate that a shocking war is about to break out.
Qin Tian, who was lurking on the beam in the southeast corner of the main hall, saw everything that happened in the main hall. He didn't expect that he would be able to learn so much about it, and it seemed that a terrible battle was really about to break out in the Western Continent.
And how should he and Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai, outsiders, deal with themselves in this war?
Unable to figure it out for the time being, Qin Tian decided to go back first and discuss it with Yan Qiu and them. The most important thing now is to figure out how to get out safely.
Qin Tian secretly glanced at Yan Rong, who was still discussing the specific details with the big bosses, and found that if they wanted to end the discussion, I was afraid it would still take an hour or two. So he could only calm down and wait patiently.
Finally, two hours later, when Yan Rong and they were about to get up and leave after their discussion, a thin old man with a goatee suddenly appeared. I saw him come out of the side door of the main hall, walk up to Yan Rong and stop him: "Big boss, slow down!"
"Oh, what does this mean?" asked Yan Rong in some surprise.
This person who suddenly appeared is still the military advisor of Heishi Village, one of the assistant ministers left to him by his father, this person's surname is Wu Mingshu, because of his resourcefulness, so everyone respectfully calls him Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu usually helps behind the scenes to give advice, and rarely appears in front of people, so his actions today surprised Yan Rong.
"Presumably this is Mr. Wu, the famous Mr. Wu of Blackstone Village, right?" Although Kou Liang is extremely old, he has often heard of such a resourceful military advisor in Blackstone Village in the past, but he has never had the opportunity to actually see it. I suddenly saw him appear today, so I couldn't help but look at him carefully, and found that he was thin and looked like a teacher hired by a rich family, without any force.
"Don't dare, don't dare! Kou Da master, you are polite! Wu is a little famous and deserves to be praised by Kou Da master!"
Mr. Wu bowed to Kou Liang and the owners of the village as he spoke.
"Mr. Wu, I've admired the name for a long time!hehe!" Wei Liao had obviously heard of this person as well.
"I don't know what Mr. Wu meant by what he said just now, could it be that Mr. Wu has a different opinion on our actions this time?" Han Zhang looked at Wu Shu and asked suspiciously.
"Wu does not have any disagreement with the decision of the big bosses, but there is an extremely important thing to report to our big bosses. Wu Shu replied slowly.
Yan Rong frowned slightly after hearing this, and he asked softly, "Is there anything urgent that the military advisor can't wait to report?"
"Big boss, this matter is also related to all the big bosses here, so it's best to let all the big bosses know. ”
"Oh, what the hell is that?
Wu Shu didn't answer immediately, he glanced at the big and small village owners around him, and found that they were also very interested, so he slowly said: "Big boss, there are spies in this big hall!"
