Chapter 224: Yuanjing Vein
When the sun was about to set, Su Yu, who was sitting in the study, put down the "Collection of Romantic Stories of the Great Zhou" in his hand, stretched his arms, and then got up and went home.
Just walked out of the gate of the Zhenwu Division, a personal guard beside Wei Lianyi hurried up.
The guard said quickly: "Lord Su, Lord Wei has summoned you to come over. ”
The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched, and he just had to wait for his time to get off work to find himself, right?
While he turned around and walked in the direction of Zhenfu Mansion, he couldn't help asking, "Do you know what happened to Lord Wei?" ”
"I don't know exactly what happened."
The guard shook his head, and then continued: "After Lord Wei got a secret letter, he immediately rushed to the palace, and when he came back, he said that he would summon you and the other three Thousand Household Lords. ”
"I heard from Zhen Wuwei, who is responsible for accepting the secret letter, that seems to have an accident with a Yuanjing vein in Liangzhou."
Something happened to the Yuanjing vein?
Su Yu's face was stunned.
In ancient times, the vitality between heaven and earth was strong at that time, and even the rain that fell from the sky had an extremely strong vitality.
It is also thanks to that era that in many valleys, a large amount of heaven and earth Yuan Qi was deposited and gathered into Yuan Qi River, and Yuan Qi River washed the stones under the riverbed.
Over the years, those stones were invaded by the Yuan Qi, and with the terrain they were hidden under the surface, becoming pieces of Yuan Crystals that future generations relied on for cultivation.
The Yuanjing vein was a pillar economic industry of the imperial court.
Yuanjing is also a non-renewable cultivation resource, and there are only so many in the territory of Great Wei, once it is mined, it will be gone.
Therefore, in order to avoid the mining of Yuanjing all at once.
In addition, if there are more yuan crystals, it will cause its price to fall, and the imperial court will control the mining to a certain extent every year.
Just like the oil in the previous life was the hard currency of the world, the yuan crystal of this world is the main currency of the trade between the three countries.
But because there are only so many of them, once the Yuan Jing is mined in the territory of Great Wei and Kyushu, and the martial artists have no cultivation resources, it will inevitably lead to the migration of the Jianghu martial artists to the other two countries to achieve better development.
The existence of Yuanjing can also allow the warriors on the rivers and lakes to hunt demon beasts, and then borrow valuable items on the demon beasts to exchange for Yuanjing to promote various trades.
These demon beast meat can allow some people to improve their blood qi and lay the foundation for becoming a martial artist.
There is another extremely important reason why the imperial court controls the mining of Yuanjing.
That is, once too much Yuan Crystal flows into the rivers and lakes, it will lead to a substantial increase in the strength of the martial artists on the rivers and lakes.
When the personal strength of the warrior increases, that person's desires will also be amplified, causing turmoil in Kyushu.
Under various circumstances, it is particularly important for the imperial court to control the mining of Yuanjing ore veins.
If there is too little mining, it will lead to a shortage of Yuanjing, causing the warriors on the rivers and lakes to have to go to other countries for development.
If there is too much mining, it will lead to an oversupply of Yuanjing, causing the market price of Yuanjing to fall, improving the overall strength of Jianghu warriors, and causing turmoil in Kyushu.
Anyway, in a word, if something happens to the Yuanjing vein, it must not be a trivial matter
Walking on the way to Zhenfu Mansion, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Tomorrow is the New Year, and if you go on a business trip tonight, it will be too miserable, right?
Who isn't at home for a family reunion?
"I hope that lady will take the other three guys on a business trip and ignore me, my cultivation is low, I can't help much, just stay behind to take care of the rear."
Su Yu snorted in his heart.
With this in mind, Su Yu came to Zhenfu Mansion.
Liang Yuxuan and the three of them were already waiting in the courtyard at this moment.
Seeing Su Yu coming, the three of them couldn't help but cast a sad smile.
Su Yu smiled bitterly and nodded, and the four of them walked into Wei Lianyi's study.
"Your Excellency!"
The four of them clasped their fists together and bowed in unison, and said respectfully.
"Hmm!"
Wei Lianyi bowed his head, then looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Just two hours ago, the Wusi of Liangzhou Town sent back the news. ”
"About a month ago, the Yuanjing ore vein located in Wutong Valley, Tianhuang City, Liangzhou, was attacked by a group of mysterious people, who surrounded the entire mine, strictly guarded it, and killed the two Yuyue Realm warriors who guarded the mine, forcing the workers in charge of mining Yuanjing, and rushed to work day and night, and excavated the Yuanjing veins in the entire Wutong Valley."
"Then in order to hide people's eyes, this group of mysterious people buried all the more than 200 workers who were responsible for mining Yuanjing alive in the Yuanjing vein"
When he said this, Wei Lianyi's pretty face was already covered with frost.
The dehumanizing actions of this group of mysterious people undoubtedly made her hate to the extreme.
She continued: "This incident only happened at noon today, and the team responsible for escorting Yuan Jing to Wutong Valley found that the entire Wutong Valley was empty."
"Liangzhou Town Wusi got the news, and immediately arranged for people to rush to Wutong Valley, most of the workers who mined Yuanjing had starved to death in the mine, and there were only more than ten people who survived."
When Su Yu and the four of them heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
No one knows exactly how long they were trapped in the mine.
And there is no food in it, and if you want to live for so long, you may treat other people as food.
Wei Lianyi said again: "This matter has been reported to Your Majesty, Your Majesty was furious when he heard about this matter, and ordered this official to investigate this matter with full authority. ”
Su Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
This group of mysterious people really ate the gall of the leopard, and even the court dared to rob it.
However, since this group of mysterious people dared to rob the Yuanjing ore vein, they must have made sufficient preparations.
Liangzhou is vast, how easy is it to find out this group of people?
The most important thing is that the specific strength of this group of people is not clear, and no one knows what will happen when they rush to investigate.
Especially thinking of the last time Tianxuan City and his party hunted the Hades King, Wei Lianyi was assassinated, Su Yu felt that it was best not to follow Wei Lianyi out.
In this way, even if something happens to Wei Lianyi, he can be perfectly picked out.
Su Yu couldn't help but start thinking about how he would persuade Liang Yuxuan and the three of them to participate in this investigation task later, and then pick himself out
Wei Lianyi said in a deep voice: "The looting of the Yuanjing ore vein this time has caused tens of millions of losses to the imperial court. ”
"Your Majesty has ordered the two commanders, Qinglong and Suzaku, to rush to Liangzhou to assist this official in investigating this matter."
"This official summoned the four of you here, because he needs two thousand households to assist him in investigating the robbery of the Yuanjing ore vein in Wutong Valley."
"The four of you, who will go with this official?"
Su Yu took the lead in speaking: "My lord, the humble cultivation is low, and there are very few opportunities to help in front of the adults, and the lowly ones are willing to stay in Jingzhou and take care of the rear for the adults." ”
Hearing Su Yu's words, Liang Yuxuan's faces couldn't help twitching.
You obviously want to fish at home, right?
The three of them were full of slander.
Now there is still one place left to touch the fish, and Liang Yuxuan and the three of them can't help but glance at each other.
Before He Bohong and Sun Xichui could take the lead, Liang Yuxuan quickly stood up and said quickly: "My lord, one of the lowly concubines is about to give birth, and the lowly wants to witness the birth of this little guy at home......"
The looting of this Yuanjing vein is really a big deal.
Moreover, the last time Wei Lianyi in Tianxuan City was assassinated, it undoubtedly left a psychological shadow on him.
Wei Lianyi has life-saving hole cards, but they don't have them in their hands.
Who can guarantee that Wei Lianyi will not be assassinated by assassins if he goes to Liangzhou?
If the last thing happened again, and Wei Lianyi encountered any accidents, would they be able to bear it?
Su Yu is a clever guy himself, and he doesn't want to get together, Liang Yuxuan feels that he needs to follow suit.
The rest of He Bohong and Sun Xi's faces were green.
Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "Okay, Sun Xichui, He Bohong, the two of you will prepare, each lead five hundred households, and gather at the north gate of Tai'an City in three hours." ”
"This matter is very important, Liangzhou is far away, and I will ride Jin Yupeng directly to Liangzhou!"
Although Sun Xitui and He Bohong were reluctant in their hearts, they had to respond at this moment.
Who told himself not to squeak in advance?
Wei Lianyi looked at Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan, and then ordered: "Su Yu, Liang Yuxuan, the two of you stay in Tai'an City, and the big and small affairs of the martial arts division of this town, you two will discuss the arrangements." ”
"Yes!"
Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan responded in unison.
"Alright, you all go back."
At Wei Lianyi's signal, Su Yu and the four of them glanced at each other, and then walked out of the study.
"Brother Sun, Brother He, the robbery of this Yuanjing ore vein, I will have to pay more attention to you."
Looking at Sun Xitui and He Bohong's sad expressions, Su Yu said with a smile: "The elder brother will first congratulate the two eldest brothers on their triumphant return in advance. ”
"When the time comes, brother, I will set up a banquet for the two eldest brothers in the Teaching Workshop Division!"
Hearing Su Yu's words, Sun Xichui and He Bohong suddenly felt a lot better.
However, Liang Yuxuan on the side smiled evilly: "When the time comes, Brother Su will set up a reception banquet in the teaching workshop, then Liang will only need to play the role of serving tea and pouring wine." ”
"Brother Sun, Brother He, then Liang wishes you a smooth journey, if something happens in Liangzhou, I will take care of the two wives and children."
Hearing Liang Yuxuan's words, the corners of Sun Xizhui and He Bohong's mouths couldn't help twitching, is this talking about human words?
"Liang Yuxuan, don't be complacent, you kid."
He Bohong scolded sourly: "We're not here, maybe this town Wusi will make some trouble, don't come back by then, you kid even lost the Qianhu hat on his head." ”
The corners of Liang Yuxuan's mouth lifted slightly, and he smiled: "You don't need to worry about it." ”
"Maybe when you come back, Liang will have already been promoted to the Fish Leap Realm, and when the time comes, after drinking the reception banquet set up by Brother Su, you should drink Liang's promotion banquet the next day."
“.”
The four of them chatted all the way, and then separated at the gate of the Zhenwu Division, and each walked in the direction of his house.
Walking on the way home, Su Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Speaking of the Yuanjing ore vein, he couldn't help but think of the half of the topographic map in his hand.
At the beginning, the Hell Gate tried every possible way to rescue Huang Jingyan, who had half a map of the terrain, from the Martial Prison, and then a series of things happened because of this.
And in that accident, half of the topographical map in Huang Jingyan's hand finally fell into the hands of Su Yu.
It's just that because there is only half of the topographic Kanyu map, Su Yu can't determine the specific location of the Yuanjing ore vein on the Kanyu map.
As for the other half of the Kanyu map, you don't need to guess to know that it must be in the hands of the Jingzhou Yama Palace.
And the Yama Hall was exterminated under the leadership of Song Jingfu, the commander of the White Tiger
"Is it possible that the other half of the terrain map has now fallen into the hands of Zhenwu Division?"
Su Yu couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
Although he did not personally participate in the extermination mission, the Jingzhou Yama Palace spared no effort to rescue Huang Jingyan, and he must have had an intention for that Yuanjing vein.
If Yan Luodian didn't have the other half of the Kanyu map in his hand, they didn't need to go to great lengths to save Huang Jingyan.
And the Jingzhou Yama Palace was destroyed, and the half of the terrain map was very likely to fall into the hands of Zhenwu Division.
"Liang Yuxuan used to be a hundred households under Huo Yuan, and he participated in that extermination mission."
"When Wei Lianyi leaves with people tonight, he and I will be the biggest people in the official position of Zhenwu Division."
"You can knock on the side and see if he knows anything about that half of the map."
"If that half of the Kanyu map really fell into the hands of the Zhenwu Division, I think it should be placed in the Zhenwu Division."
"As long as I get the other half of the Kanyu map, I can secretly investigate the specific location of this Yuanjing vein."
Su Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and his heart couldn't help but be a little excited.
He currently has fifteen pairs of tonic pills in his hand, and about one million yuan crystals.
The total is twenty-five pairs of tonics, which is far from enough for him to accumulate enough attribute points to advance to the Hidden Dragon Realm.
If he can find this Yuanjing vein with the help of the Kanyu map, it may be enough for him to buy tonic medicine in the future.
As for the promotion to the Hidden Dragon Realm, it is estimated that the tonic for thousands of years has had little effect on him.
At that time, he would have to find a way to search for the tonic for ten thousand years.
Of course, with the particularity of the 10,000-year tonic, it is estimated that it is not easy to obtain.
However, with the ability to live forever, he has enough patience to wait.
When Su Yu returned home, the table was already full of dishes.
"I'm back."
Looking at Wu Ling, Mei Ji, and Shi Shi waiting in the living room, Su Yu apologized and smiled: "There is something to do temporarily, I came back late, if I come back late in the future, you can eat first, don't wait for me." ”
When I got home, there was a hot meal and my own woman waiting.
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh, this is the meaning of home.
"We didn't wait long."
Mei Ji smiled and said, "Sit down." ”
After Su Yu sat down, the four of them began to feast.
During the meal, Wu Ling couldn't help asking, "Is there something going on in the Zhenwu Division?" ”
Su Yu picked up a piece of demon beast meat and put it in his mouth, then nodded and said: "Well, the Yuanjing vein in Wutong Valley in Tianhuang City, Liangzhou, was occupied by a group of mysterious people, and they strictly guarded the wind and dug up that Yuanjing vein. ”
"By the time the Liangzhou Town Martial Division learned about this, a long time had already passed."
"When the news reached Tai'an City, His Majesty was furious and ordered Lord Wei to investigate the matter with full authority."
When Wu Ling heard this, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "Did your cousin ask you to go to Liangzhou?" ”
Mei Ji and Shi Shixin also hung in the air, and they naturally didn't want Su Yu to participate in the investigation of this case.
People who dare to grab the Yuanjing ore vein, how many good stubbles can they have?
They hope to spend their lives with Su Yu in peace.
Su Yu shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Lord Wei said that she needed two thousand households to assist her in investigating this case, and I pushed it off and took charge of the martial arts department of Jingzhou Town." ”
Hearing Su Yu's words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
Hearing that Su Yu did not participate in this mission, Wu Lingqiao's face couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, and then he raised his mind about this Yuanjing vein.
"What is the origin of this group of people, they even dare to rob the Yuanjing vein of the imperial court."
Wu Lingqiao said with a surprised face: "Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there have been several cases of Jianghu warriors robbing the Yuanjing ore vein, but once this kind of person is caught, his crime will be punished as rebellion, and they really don't care about their families at all." ”
The Yuanjing vein is one of the most important economic lifelines of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is never allowed to be touched by any outsider.
In the history since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there have also been warriors in the rivers and lakes who have the idea of fighting the Yuanjing vein, but in the end they have paid an extremely heavy price.
It is precisely because of these lessons from the past that the warriors of the rivers and lakes in later generations have cut off the idea of fighting the Yuanjing vein.
The Yuanjing veins in various parts of Kyushu are like the reverse scales of the imperial court, and they will be angry if they touch it!
As long as it is in the territory of Great Wei, if the Kyushu Zhen Wusi is wanted for a certain target person, and the person at the head is led by the commander, it will be very difficult to escape the pursuit of the Zhenwu Division.
"Su Yu, do you think your cousin can find out this group of mysterious people?" Wu Ling then asked.
Su Yu chuckled and said, "Since the other party dares to grab the Yuanjing ore vein, it means that they have already made certain plans and preparations. ”
Seeing that Wu Lingqiao's face was a little heavy, Su Yu continued: "But there is a good saying, if you want people to know, unless you don't do it." ”
"I believe that Lord Wei will definitely be able to find some clues, and then find this group of mysterious people along the way."
Although he was not optimistic that Wei Lianyi would be able to find out this group of mysterious people, Wu Ling, as Wei Lianyi's cousin, naturally had to pick something pleasant to say.
After dinner, I enjoyed the energetic show performed by Shi Shi and Mei Ji after dinner.
Su Yu took a mandarin duck bath under Wu Ling's service, and then served the three of them one after another.
Su Yu, who was sweating, walked into the bath to take a bath, but he seemed to sense something, and his eyes couldn't help but froze.
Ever since he was assassinated by Mangzhong, he had raised his vigilance.
Even when he was running errands, he would specially create a clone, and then wear the colorful dice on his body and sit in a certain room.
With his Leaping Realm cultivation, the entire backyard of Su Mansion was within his shrouded range.
This was naturally to prevent an assassin from sneaking into the mansion to his detriment.
There is a good saying, open guns are easy to dodge, and dark arrows are difficult to prevent!
As his status grew, he had to touch the interests of others.
On the bright side, his cultivation is only in the copper skin realm, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a soft persimmon for granted.
And at this moment, within the scope of his clone's divine sense, a man in black was carrying a bow and crossbow to sneak into the mansion.
"Who is he?"
Su Yu frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.
Under the scanning of his divine sense, the face of the man in black under the scarf was undoubtedly revealed.
The other party is a middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance, but his figure is unusually strong, and his body can compete with Sun Xizhui's body.
What puzzled Su Yu was, which force did this person represent?
He and Wu Ling are now married, and the raw rice has also been cooked.
Wang Jinghui, who represents the faction of the eldest prince, shouldn't have any reason to send people to kill him again, right?
He was also carrying a bow and crossbow in his hand, which made Su Yu even more puzzled.
Before the other party could sneak towards his residence, Su Yu had already manipulated the clone out of the room.
Just when the other party came to the top of his residence and was about to lift the tiles on the roof, Su Yu's clone had already appeared silently behind the other party.
"Extreme Blood Pupil!"
The movements of the other party's hands suddenly froze, and the scene in his eyes had become a blood-colored world of corpses piled up.
"Illusions?!"
For himself to encounter an illusion, the middle-aged man's face was shocked.
He bit the tip of his tongue, trying to force his consciousness to regain his consciousness.
It's just that just when the ice and snow of the blood-colored world in his eyes melted, Su Yu had already approached and punched the opponent's back.
"Cun Yan!"
For martial artists below the Hidden Dragon Realm, Su Yu can almost achieve unbeatable results with the two martial arts of Extreme Dao Blood Pupil and Cun Yan.
In order to torture the person who instructed him to come here, he did not kill him, but blew up his dantian.
"Poof."
The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face suddenly became shriveled.
When he realized that he had become a waste, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he lost his voice: "You"
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yu picked it up and swept it in the direction of the outside of Tai'an City.
"Bang!"
Coming to a wilderness outside Tai'an City, Su Yu threw him on the ground at will.
"Tell me, what is your name, and who is the man who ordered you to assassinate?"
Su Yuju looked at him condescendingly and said slowly.
The man in black had long since lost the belief in living at this time, lying there like a dead fish, not even bothering to struggle.
Su Yu's eyes were cold, after torturing others many times, he was already familiar with torturing prisoners now.
He didn't hesitate, and took out the torture instrument from the spatial ring.
"Ahh
In the wilderness, a terrible scream sounded.
Half an hour passed, and Su Yu knew the name of this person, Meng Yu.
It's just that what makes his face a little strange is that Meng Yu is not here to kill him, but to kill Wu Ling.
Meng Yu is the secretary of the He family in Lingzhou, and he has the cultivation of the Fish Leap Realm.
Not long ago, the two sons of He Ci, the head of the He family, were shot with bows and crossbows in the Jiaofang Division.
And the person who the He family suspects is the Jingzhou martial artist.
That is, why did He Bixian question Wu Chen's origin at noon today.
He Ci was furious at the death of his two sons, and he thought that he would treat others in the same way as others.
The martial arts family is heavily guarded, and with the Hidden Dragon Realm martial artists in charge, the He family knows that the other party will not give them any chance.
And Wu Ling is also a member of the Wu family, and Wu Chen's own sister.
If he could shoot Wu Ling with a bow and crossbow, he would be able to let Wu Chen experience the pain of the tragic death of his relatives
It's just that what he never expected was that the Su Mansion where Wu Ling lived also had a master in charge.
He didn't even have a chance to react, he had already been beaten up in the dantian and reduced to a wasted person.
Using the Fish Leap Realm cultivation as a way to deal with an Iron Bone Realm martial artist, I thought it would be a very simple task, but now that it has caused him to fall into such a fate, Meng Yu can't help but regret it.
Isn't it good to stay in Lingzhou and enjoy the offerings of the He family?
Why do you want to mix in this troubled water?
After Su Yu gave Meng Yu a good time, he searched the space ring on his body.
In the space ring, Su Yu found two Xuan-level martial arts, and about 20,000 Yuan Crystals.
Coupled with the bow and crossbow, the income from this trip is about 150,000 yuan.
After discarding Meng Yu's body in the dense forest, Su Yu manipulated the clone to return to Tai'an City again.
The He family sent someone to assassinate Wu Ling, which Su Yu never expected.
Now that Wu Ling has become his own woman, it is naturally impossible for him to let Wu Ling appear the slightest damage.
It's just that the He family is far away from Tai'an City, and it is not realistic to go directly to the trouble of the He family.
Su Yu was ready to see what means the He family would have in the future.
If the other party stops here, he will no longer fight Wu Ling's idea.
He assumed that this assassination did not exist.
If the other party still sends people over to assassinate one after another, then he will have to go to Lingzhou to turn the He family upside down.
Anyway, he didn't want to pay attention to the grievances between Wu Chen and the He family, but the fighting methods between the two sides should not affect him.
