Chapter 995: The Importance of Mines

I have to say that the mine five hundred miles outside the city of Dunxu is really an accident for Lucius.

Originally, Lucius was still thinking that a mine like that in Southern Xinjiang alone might not be enough to support the future operation of his workshop, after all, if he wants to fight against the Eternal God Kingdom, the machinery he makes now is far from enough.

If you want to fight or even defeat the Eternal God, you must have more powerful machines, and the more powerful machines Lucius has blueprints, but the machine shop is not enough to produce those big guys, especially in terms of raw materials.

A mine in southern Xinjiang is definitely not enough to support large-scale machinery manufacturing, and it must have a mine of sufficient scale to support it.

And Lucius has already started to look for some places in southern Xinjiang and Jiangnan, but there is no better mine address for the time being.

What he didn't expect was that when he was a little at a loss, he actually got a mine from the gods of Dunyu City, which was a bit unexpected by Lucius.

When the mine was delivered, Lucius sent mechanical demons into the mine to investigate, and found that the mine's reserves were actually larger than the mine in southern Xinjiang.

Seeing the smile on Lucius's face that couldn't be hidden, Du Liniang smiled and teased: "It looks like you kid really picked up the treasure again." โ€

Lu Xius naturally didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Auntie, you probably don't know yet, right? โ€

Du Liniang smiled and said, "How could I not know? The raw iron ore produced by this mine may be able to speed up your production progress at least double, right?"

Hearing Du Liniang say this, Lucius smiled and nodded: "Hehe, that's right, with this mine, you can start the processing of large machinery, well, it looks like you need to send a message to Blenor immediately." Let them send a group of men. โ€

When Du Liniang heard that Lu Xiusi wanted to ask the boys from Longquan Restaurant to send someone over, she immediately vetoed: "No, I know those guys too well, if they let them come to the mine, they may not know how much trouble they will make, so it is safer to let them stay in southern Xinjiang." โ€

Hearing Du Liniang say this, Lu Xiusi thought about it and felt that what Du Liniang said was very reasonable: "Well, what you said is reasonable, auntie, those guys in Longquan Restaurant are really not reassuring." โ€

"Their words in southern Xinjiang. There are also demon clans to restrain them, if they come to this Western Regions, they will probably be even more lawless if they lose their restraint. โ€

But then Lu Xius was a little embarrassed: "However, now that this mine has just been taken over, I have to accompany Li Chengxian and them to the country of Qiuzi, and someone must use the mine and build the workshop as much as possible, which is a little difficult." โ€

Seeing that Lucius was a little embarrassed, Du Liniang thought for a while and said, "Actually, you can transfer some people from the steel battleship. Aren't there orcs and high elves......?

Speaking of this, Du Liniang paused, looked at Christine not far away, and whispered to Lucius, "Also." I think we should let Norco take care of this place, and let Christine and Shadow stay, so that they can take care of each other. โ€

Du Liniang's words. Lu Xiu Shi suddenly realized, and said to Du Liniang with a smile: "Haha, aunt." You really solved my big trouble, and you almost forgot about Norco and the others if you didn't say anything. โ€

Du Liniang also smiled and said, "What? You don't hold a grudge against Norke and them now?

"Auntie, I've never held a grudge against them, it's not wrong for them to have their own ambitions, I arranged them to work as coolies on the battleship, in fact, just to sharpen them and sharpen them, to wear out their ambitions, and now I think about it, it should be about the same. โ€

Lu Xiusius's words made Du Liniang cry and laugh: "You kid, you say that you want to sharpen other people's ambitions, but you yourself are not ambitious?"

Scratching his head, Lucius said with some embarrassment: "Auntie, in fact, I didn't say that ambition is wrong, people still have to have some ambitions, but if they betray their companions, they will be punished." โ€

Du Liniang waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I don't want to say anything more, you hurry up and arrange it, it seems that Li Chengxian and they can't wait." โ€

"Can't wait, I'm impatient that they can go on their own, without me, I'm afraid they may not be able to enter the country of Qiuzi safely, right?"

In fact, Li Chengxian really couldn't wait, and thought about taking people and horses alone to save people in Qiuzi Country, and even Li Xuanji was already clamoring to set off.

But Li Chengxian calmed down again, and stopped Li Xuanji and the others: "No, no, you can't go like this, if you leave Dunxu City and enter the Western Regions, I'm afraid you will be caught if you don't go to the territory of Qiuzi Country." โ€

Li Xuanji was still very unconvinced and said: "Grandpa, what's the matter? It's great, let's kill all the way, I don't believe that those countries in the Western Regions really dare to tear their faces with my Tang Dynasty?"

Listening to Li Xuanji's words, Li Chengxian scolded in a low voice: "Confused, do you really think that those guys in the Western Regions will be afraid of you, if it weren't for those gods who couldn't leave the city, they would have already hit the Guannai, they are not afraid of the Tang Dynasty, let alone us." โ€

Seeing that Li Xuanji and the others were still unconvinced, Li Chengxian continued: "Although my Datang is said to be vast and rich, and there are many strong people, in fact, my heart is not aligned, and the seemingly powerful 'one book, two sounds, and three teachings' is completely unexpected. โ€

Li Xuanji suddenly asked in confusion: "Grandpa, why do you say that you can't count on one book, two tones and three teachings?"

Li Chengxian shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "The academy is too detached, and there are only a dozen disciples, even if there are less than twenty masters, if all the gods of the Western Regions are dispatched, plus the three sects are dragging behind, can the academy deal with it?"

Seeing that Li Xuanji was speechless, Li Chengxian continued: "Although Eryin has considerable strength and many disciples, in fact, over the years, Eryin has flourished and yang has declined, and those girls are even more complacent, thinking that they are peaceful and prosperous, and they only know Fengyue one by one, and they have long lost the arrogance and strength of Eryin. โ€

"As for the Three Sects, after the affairs of the Jiangnan Demon Clan, it is almost considered to have broken with the Second Sage, especially for the sake of the Tang Dynasty?"

Speaking of this, Li Chengxian couldn't help but lament: "In the final analysis, it's still my Tang Dynasty that has been prosperous over the years. Inevitably, a corrupt atmosphere began to appear, whether it was the court or the people, they all looked invincible in the world, and they were really a little arrogant and complacent. โ€

As soon as Li Chengxian's words fell, he heard a sound of clapping.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Lucius's voice coming: "Hahaha, the prince has seen it so thoroughly, it is really admirable, admirable." โ€

Li Chengxian was startled, followed the sound and looked over, and saw Lucius, accompanied by Caroline, Modรจs, and Gilile, enter the mansion where they lived in the city of Dunyu.

I saw Lucius swaggering in with a lot of people. Li Xuanji suddenly said with some dissatisfaction: "Are you too arrogant? No matter what you say here, it also belongs to our private place, and you come in at will like this, and you don't take us seriously." โ€

Hearing Li Xuanji's shout, Lu Xiusi looked directly past him at Li Chengxian, smiled and said, "Lord Wang, is this what you mean?"

Li Chengxian stepped forward and pulled Li Xuanji back to his side, and reprimanded: "Xuanji, the tonic is rude." His Highness Lucius is also considered an ally of ours, and there is freedom to enter and exit here. โ€

After that, he apologized to Lucius again: "Your Highness, please don't mind, Xuanji has been a little angry these days. But not at you. โ€

Lucius waved his hand and said, "The prince doesn't need to apologize, in fact, I understand very well, young man, after all, he is more angry." โ€

Li Xuanji is still quite unconvinced. He glared at Lecius and said, "You call me a young man, are you very old?"

Lucius lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'm really not that old. When I was your age, I left my castle in the west and spent a lot of time outside, and I should be in my thirties this year, hehe, I'm really young. โ€

Listening to Lucius's words, Li Xuanji was speechless for a moment, you must know that he is only a teenager, and Lucius is in his thirties According to his age, he is about the same age as his uncle.

Li Chengxian said with a smile: "Hehe, I really didn't expect that His Royal Highness Lucius is still so young, but there is an old saying in the East that stands at thirty, and His Royal Highness Lucius is now in the age of establishment, should he also consider starting a family?

Lucius was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at the three women beside him, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the prince is joking, I have no plans to start a family for the time being, let's put these things aside for a while." โ€

Immediately afterwards, he didn't give Li Chengxian a chance to continue the topic, so he directly asked first: "I don't know when the prince plans to leave?"

As soon as he heard the word "departure", Li Chengxian also had no intention of teasing Lucius again, and Zhengse said: "If Your Highness Lucius has already dealt with the affairs here, I naturally hope that the sooner the better, and rush to Qiuci Country one day earlier, my children will be less dangerous." โ€

Lu Xius knew that Li Chengxian was in a hurry, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then we'll set off in three days." โ€

"What? Three days to wait?"

When Li Xuanji heard this, he couldn't help but shout, "Lucius, are you sincere? You promised to help us, but let us wait here all the time, what do you mean?"

Li Chengxian was also a little anxious, and couldn't accept waiting for another three days, so he didn't stop Li Xuanji, but asked Li Xuanji to come forward and ask Lu Xiusi for an explanation.

Seeing Li Chengxian and Li Xuanji's anxious looks, Lu Xiusi also said a little helplessly: "I'm sorry, the person who made you wait for another three days was not me, but the god of Dunxu City, Liu Angzhuo said, he needs three days to accumulate enough mana." โ€

Hearing Lu Xius say this, Li Chengxian, Li Xuanji and others were also very helpless, after all, they still needed to rely on Liu Anzhuo's escort.

Lu Xius then comforted: "You don't have to worry, Liu Angzhuo has already sent someone to investigate, for the time being, the people you were arrested by the Qiuci Kingdom are not in danger, the Qiuci Kingdom did not harm them, but just imprisoned them, it seems that the purpose of the Qiuci Kingdom is to get that treasure." โ€

Hearing that his children were fine, Li Chengxian could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, then wait for another three days, I hope that Your Highness will not break your promise at that time." โ€

Lu Xius naturally shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hehe, please rest assured, Lord Wang, we will definitely arrive in the territory of Qiuzi Country immediately in three days, and I will do my best to help you rescue people first." โ€

Seeing Lu Xiusi and the others leaving, Li Xuanji finally couldn't help but shout: "Grandpa, these guys are too deceitful, are we being bullied by them like this? Father, they are now in the country of Qiuzi, so dangerous, but we are waiting here day by day, when will it be a head?"

"Okay, Xuanji, you have to learn to be patient, especially at this time, you must be able to endure, many things can be solved immediately without being in a hurry. โ€

After listening to Li Chengxian's words, even though Li Xuanji was unconvinced, he didn't have any way, after all, they didn't have that strength at the moment, and it was too difficult to go to Qiuzi Country alone to save people, so they still had to rely on Lu Xiusi and Liu Angzhuo of Dunxu City.

Li Chengxian walked up to Li Xuanji, stretched out his hand and patted Li Xuanji's shoulder and said, "Xuanji, you have to remember that the most important thing in this world is strength, as long as you have enough strength, then you can make everyone bow to you." โ€

Li Xuanji raised his head and looked at Li Chengxian, a little puzzled by what Li Chengxian meant by this?

Seeing Li Xuanji's dazed face, Li Chengxian continued: "So you have to remember that when you don't have enough strength, you must not show yourself too much. โ€

Li Xuanji vaguely seemed to understand something, nodded and said, "Grandpa, I understand, as long as we get that treasure, we don't have to look at their faces anymore, and we can even unify the countries of the Western Regions, and even if it is Lucius, we don't have to be afraid." โ€

Li Chengxian nodded: "Good boy, remember grandpa's words, and you must learn to be patient." โ€

Lu Xius and the others, who had already walked out of the mansion, walked straight to the temple in the city, obviously Lu Xiusi was planning to go to Liu Angzhuo again, some things still need Liu Angzhuo to be obedient, after all, after he left, Liu Angzhuo still needs Liu Angzhuo to take care of him.

However, on the way to the temple, Modis suddenly approached Lucius and whispered to Lucius about the conversation in Li Chengxian's mansion after they left.

After hearing this, Lucius squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's okay, just let them dream first, when they really get that treasure, they will understand that things are not as beautiful as they imagined, and that prince is afraid that it will be miserable." (To be continued......)
