Yelu Dashi had doubts on his face, and thought for a moment before saying, "Now that the people I brought are many descendants of Emperor Tianzuo, I am afraid that the news of the alliance with the prince will leak out, how can this be good?" ”

Zhao said: "You can solve this problem yourself." ”

"Then the prince will give me a sword, you can cut your arm or thigh at will, as long as you leave me alive."

"I can still meet your request!"

When the words fell, the cold light of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Divine Sword rose, and Yelu Dashi also made a move, and the two of them were in front of the battle for a while, and suddenly, Yelu Dashi shouted, and rolled out three zhang away, and was hit by a sword in his arm.

"Zhao Gou! Our mountains do not turn around, there will be a period in the future! ”

Seeing that the Liao soldiers had moved closer to him, Yelu Dashi roared, got on a horse directly, and fled with the people.

Back in the courtyard, Queen Meng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, her palms were sweaty, because she didn't know what the result would be if Zhao Gou went.

At this time, Zhao Gou had already pushed the door in.

Empress Meng turned around directly, and when she saw Zhao Gou, her face was instantly full of smiles.

Zhao Gou said that he came back for supper before the third watch, and Queen Meng watched the time pass minute by minute, and the third watch had passed, and Zhao Gou's people were not seen.

Before Zhao Gou's eyes could be removed from the yellow ribbon on the loquat tree in the courtyard, a gust of fragrant wind rushed over.

Next.

The preparations for the iron mine were carried out normally, and the people of the Fan family and the army were busy with their duties, and a few days passed like this.

On this day, Fan Youhe reported: "Lord Wang, there is a group of people of unknown origin who detained fifteen craftsmen and masters we invited from the north in Wu'an Zishan, and demanded money for ransom before releasing them back to us. They opened their mouths, and each of them asked for a thousand taels of gold, and if they didn't give it, they would rather kill them all. ”

"The criminal ministers have not yet negotiated with them, if they agree, I am afraid that the local powerful forces will follow suit, and ask the prince to decide."

Zhao Gou's face sank and said: "These people actually robbed the king and obstructed the project, it seems that they are tired and crooked." I'll meet them as I go. ”

Zhao Gou dressed up as an ordinary officer, and took Fan Youhe, Empress Meng and others to Purple Mountain.

In the distance, I saw a distant mountain, the mountains are majestic, the peaks are continuous, and it seems to be a place where strongmen haunt.

It turns out that there is a village on the mountain, the name of the village is Tongtianzhai, the leader of the strongman sends the nickname of Yunli King Kong Yanlong, the nearby strongman is not as strong as him, dominates one side, and the local people have been more than ten years, and recently they have gathered a lot of generals who have fallen in the Liao State, and the power is even stronger.

Hearing that Fan Youhe came to the mountain with people, there were three or five people who came to the gate of Dazhai to pick up people, looking at people with high spirits, looking at people with nostrils, and the one who took the lead said disdainfully: "Fan Youhe, did you bring the gold?" ”

Fan Youhe said: "I'm here to negotiate, you want too much, our Prince Kang may not agree." ”

The man snorted coldly and said, "One thousand taels of gold per person, don't talk about it if you don't bring it." Even if King Kang Zhao Gou came in person, it would be like this. Go back. ”

So saying, they turned and walked inside.

Fan Youhe said: "You wait a minute. ”

The man turned around and paused.

Fan Youhe stepped forward, put a silver ticket into the man's hand, and said to him: "As soon as I was tired of reporting, I said that Fan Youhe had a bigger deal to come to visit." ”

The man looked at the silver ticket, nodded and said, "Even if you can still be a man, then you can wait." ”

The man went directly into the stockade, and only came out after a stick of incense, and took Fan Youhe, Zhao Gou, Empress Meng and others into the stockade.

There are four words hanging in the main hall: Loyalty and righteousness Ganyun, on a big tiger skin chair below, there is a big man sitting in the center, with a horizontal face and a shaggy beard, covering half of the Yaksha face, and behind it are three or five strong men wearing steel knives, and there are people on both sides of the hall, all of them look vicious and murderous, and they all open their eyes at Fan Youhe, Zhao Gou and others at this moment.

"Fan Youhe, things have been said clearly enough, did you bring the money?"

Yan Long was holding the wine jug and drinking, eating elbows while drinking, and he didn't look at Fan Youhe at all.

Fan Youhe said: "Yan Long, what King Kang means is to let you release the craftsman master quickly, and the iron mine can't be delayed for a day." If you hold people back, you will be against King Kang, and anyone who is against King Kang will have a good end if they don't. ”

Yan Long laughed directly: "Did you Fan Youhe drink too much?" Did you come to my stockade to talk this? Don't say it's you Fan Youhe, even if King Kang Zhao Gou came in person, I said the same. ”

After speaking, Yan Long's face sank, and he glanced at the people around him, and suddenly the people on both sides took their knives out of their sheaths and aimed them at Fan Youhe, Zhao Gou and others.

Fan Youhe was not afraid, but said lightly: "Yan Long, why are you suffering?" Your village has already gained a firm foothold in the local area, and if you have to go against King Kang, isn't it self-destruction of your future? ”

"Self-destructing future? Hahaha! Who does King Kang Zhao really think of himself? Isn't he just a wreck? My village is a one-man affair, and I am not afraid of the Song army. ”

"If he Zhao Gou comes in person, don't think about opening any iron mines in the north, Lao Tzu cut off his head to make a urinal."

Fan Youhe's figure was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Yan Long to be so arrogant and strong.

Zhao Gou came out and said with a smile: "Yan Long, just rely on you and King Kang, I'm afraid it's not enough, we will give you a strategy, which can not only make a lot of money, but also prevent Zhao Gou from opening a mine." ”

Yan Long looked at the stranger in front of him, his expression was directly exciting, and he asked loudly: "You seem to have a bit of a ghost idea, say it and listen to it." ”

Zhao Gou said: "It's very simple, if Fan Youhe is also detained in the cottage, King Kang Zhao Gou must be in a hurry, even more anxious than redeeming fifteen craftsmen." ”

Fan Youhe was directly stunned, and suddenly he didn't know what to say, his face darkened, and he couldn't guess what Zhao Wei thought.

Yan Long laughed and said, "Your plan is good, and I have this intention." I thought that Fan Youhe didn't dare to come in person, but now that he sent it to the door, how could Lao Tzu let him go down the mountain. ”

"It seems that Zhao Gou is not only a wreck, but also doesn't even understand basic employment!"

"You kid will see the wind and rudder, so, what's your name?"

Zhao Gou stood up and said, "I am Zhao Gou!" ”

Zhao Gou!

"Haha, are you Zhao Gou?"

"Then what you kid said just now was deliberately playing tricks on Lao Tzu?"

Zhao Gou smiled: "Unless you Yan Long is a bad pen, can't you see it now?" This king is playing tricks on you! ”

Yan Long was fearless, and even admired the arrogant unknown person in front of him: "You can't even be the emperor Lao Tzu, now this is Tongtian Village, and it is Lao Tzu's territory!" Not to mention that Zhao Gou's nest is wasted! ”

"Do it! Get all these people up for Lao Tzu! ”

Zhao Gou slowly raised his hand and said, "Slow." Don't you want to negotiate with me? I'm really Zhao Gou, and I can talk about it now. ”

Yan Long said: "Are you really Zhao Gou?" ”

"This king is Zhao Gou."

"Haha! So are you ready for the money? Yan Long didn't take Zhao Gou and them in the slightest.

Zhao Doumian was not red and his heart was not beating, so he said neatly: "There is money, but this king thinks that your Yan Long's sincerity is not enough, I can give you 100 taels of silver, in addition to fifteen craftsmen and masters, I will take them, and this Tongtianzhai will also belong to me." ”

"Damn, you're looking for death! One hundred taels of silver, and Lao Tzu will give up Tongtianzhai! As Yan Long spoke, the killing intent on his face became more and more intense, his eyes became gloomy, and then he shouted "do it", and the people on both sides swung towards Zhao Gou like a tide of steel knives.
