Wang Yong's face was expressionless, Henry couldn't see anything at all, and he was a little panicked.

Wang Yong thought for a while before saying, "Yes, but how can I believe that you are truly refuge in me?"

Hearing Wang Yong's agreement, several bandits were very happy, and their tense bodies relaxed a lot. Henry looked embarrassed and said, "What do you say?"

Wang Yong said in an unquestionable tone: "Let my people in, you gather your people, I will disrupt and incorporate your people, this is the bottom line, if you can't go to war." ”

Henry hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Well, lord, it's not that I don't believe you, but you have to give me a guarantee." Wang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that these bandits would not agree.

Wang Yong said disapprerovingly: "Okay, I promise as a lord that as long as you sincerely serve me in the future, I will definitely not be embarrassed for you, so let's do it." Seeing that Wang Yong was so casual, Henry was still a little hesitant.

Wang Yong urged impatiently: "Hurry up and decide, I don't have time to waste here." ”

Henry gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "Okay, we agree." After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, gave Wang Yong a chest salute and said, "My subordinate Henry has seen the lord, so I will take you in." Then he turned over and got on the horse and led the way for Wang Yong and others.

It's not that Henry is stupid, it's easy to trust people, because the world pays a lot of attention to promises, especially nobles, and sometimes the faces of nobles are more important than their lives.

If there are nobles who lose their trust in public, then there will be many people who look down on you, which will also bring a lot of trouble to your career and development in the future. Therefore, Henry did not think that this lord would break his promise for the sake of a little person like himself.

Wang Yong was overjoyed in his heart, beckoned behind him, let his team follow, and glanced at Ryan again. Ryan didn't quite understand, and looked at Wang Yong suspiciously.

Wang Yong had no choice but to whisper: "After we go in, you first take down these sentry posts outside, and then control the periphery to prevent anyone from escaping." ”

Ryan looked surprised and said, "Boss, didn't you promise them?"

Wang Yong waved his hand and said, "When the time comes, you can do it." After speaking, Wang Yong rode Xiao Hei to the front of the team.

Wang Yong muttered as he walked: "The people here are good at everything, but they are a little biao, they pay so much attention to commitment to everyone, and it is necessary to be honest with good people, but you still have a Mao promise to these bandits." ”

Ryan looked at Wang Yong's back and thought to himself: "The boss is really shameless." ”

After walking through a long forest path, as soon as he came out of the woods, Wang Yong's vision suddenly opened up, there were no woods in front of him, only a big road extending straight to the west.

On both sides of the road was the black swamp that Luke had mentioned, which looked black and mushy and very ugly, and out of curiosity, Wang Yong jumped to the ground and walked towards the black swamp, intending to see what was going on.

When Henry saw Wang Yong stop, although he didn't know what Wang Yong was going to do, he also got off the horse and followed Wang Yong, nodding his head and looking humiliated.

The other bandits brought by Henry had already gone back first, gathered their people, and waited for Wang Yong's men to go and collect them.

Wang Yong walked west along the edge of the swamp, observing as he went, and found a wooden stick to stab a few times on the edge of the black swamp. This black swamp is of different depths, one meter and five long wooden sticks, some places can not be explored at all, some places are only half a meter deep, and some places have solidified, hard as if something.

Through observation, Wang Yong can already determine that these black liquids are asphalt, but they do not have the pungent smell of ordinary asphalt.

Wang Yong thought about it, if the asphalt here also emitted such a pungent poisonous gas, then the giant sword bandit group here would have died a long time ago.

Wang Yong tried it with his hands, and found that the temperature in various places was not the same, thinking that Luke said that there was a ground fire below, and thought that it should be the ground fire that affected the temperature of the asphalt.

After observation, Wang Yong determined that this black swamp was actually a natural asphalt lake, and asphalt was a good thing for Wang Yong.

Although Wang Yong does not know how to refine the minerals in asphalt, he can use asphalt to pave the road, the road surface in the territory is too bad, with asphalt, paving a lot of trouble, and it is stronger and more durable than dirt roads. Moreover, there are no heavy trucks here, and the asphalt roads are so strong that there is no need to send people to maintain them every year.

Henry saw that Wang Yong was interested in these black things, and hurriedly introduced: "These things are useless, and the black paste is not good-looking, there is a small area in it, the sticky water there is yellow, and there is a clear fragrance, adults should go there to see." Wang Yong nodded, rode on Xiao Hei and continued to move forward.

Kevin handed over the cannon fodder to more than forty cavalrymen to keep them in formation and forward, Kevin rode to Wang Yong's side, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Henry on the other side.

When Henry saw that Kevin had something to say to the lord, he slowed down and distanced himself from them. Kevin saw that Henry was far away, so he asked curiously, "I see that you are very interested in these black sticky water, what do you do here?"

Wang Yong explained: "This sticky water is called asphalt, and it can refine a lot of good things. ”

Kevin's eyes widened and asked, "What's good?"

Wang Yong spread his hands and said: "I don't know the specifics, and I won't refine them." Kevin glanced at Wang Yong and gestured his middle finger.

Wang Yong smiled and said, "I only know that asphalt can be used to pave roads. ”

Kevin looked at the slimy asphalt, pouted, and said, "Damn, pave the way with this thing, and people can't sink when they go up?"

Wang Yong rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you'll know when the time comes." ”

The road ahead began to slowly narrow, and Wang Yong said to Kevin: "It's almost to the very narrow place that Luke said, you go back and lead the team, and wait for my order after you go in, and strive to take down the three hundred bandits in one fell swoop." Tell Mu Sen again and let him keep that narrow road. Kevin answered, and rode back to the group.

Henry came to Wang Yong's side again, and said with a flattering face: "My lord, there is a very narrow road ahead, which is our natural danger here, and it will not be far from the station after there." ”

Wang Yong nodded and didn't speak, but thought in his heart: "This is really a good place to hide secrets, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and some of my secret techniques will be carried out here in the future." ”

After a short time, the team finally arrived at the very narrow road, Wang Yong secretly signaled everyone to be on guard, and he secretly opened the magic defense bracelet, and the defense necklace was temporarily lent to Kevin when he was about to leave.

Henry took the lead in the front, and when he had walked this way, and when he reached the other side of the narrow road, Wang Yong was surprised to find that there were actually four ballistas here.

Looking at the crossbow arrows that were arm thick, Wang Yong only felt chills all over his body, if Henry hadn't surrendered and led people to attack by himself, just these few crossbow cars, don't think about rushing over if there are still three or four hundred people. If you add the bandits' hand crossbows and bows and arrows together, it's really hard to say whether these people brought in can get in.

Henry was also single, waved his hand, and let the bandits left behind here go in and gather, and handed over this key natural danger to Wang Yong.

Wang Yong quietly left ten cavalry and Mu Sen's men to stay behind, and then continued to advance with the rest of the men. Mu Sen saw that most of the people Wang Yong brought were cannon fodder, so he sent a squadron of fifty people to help. Wang Yong saw that there were enough people here, so he didn't refuse, and smiled kindly at Mu Sen.

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the real lair of the Greatsword Bandits, which was like a funnel as a whole, and after running through the section of the avenue that came in, there was a large triangle inside.

To the north of the triangle is a mountain of gravel as high as a five-story building, which must have been excavated from mining. To the south are rows of simple stone houses, which look a bit like the bungalows where I lived when I was a child. Further inside, there are a number of larger houses on both sides, which Henry describes as warehouses for storing ore.

In the middle of the entire triangle is a small square, where the bandits have assembled, standing in place and waiting for an unknown fate.

Wang Yong asked Kevin to take people to take it in, and asked Henry to continue to lead the way, Wang Yong wanted to go to the mine to have a look. Kevin was a little worried about Wang Yong's safety, and sent five cavalrymen to accompany him to protect him.

After walking west for nearly half an hour, Wang Yong and his entourage came to the foot of Biya Mountain, which is the bottom edge of the triangular station, and the distance between north and south is the longest.

Wang Yong looked up, wanting to see the top of the mountain, but Wang Yong almost didn't lie on Xiao Hei's back, and he didn't see the top of Biya Mountain. "That's fucking tall than Yashan. Wang Yong's heartfelt evaluation.

At the foot of Mount Biya are smooth cliffs nearly 100 meters above the ground, and if you can't fly, it's absolutely impossible to climb up.

On the bottom of the mountain wall, there are many large and small holes, and from time to time you can also see some thin people, struggling to push wooden carts in and out. The carts pushed by those people were loaded with all kinds of ores, and there were many bandits with whips to supervise the work, and if anyone was slow to walk, they would whip it, very much like the legendary black coal kiln.

When Wang Yong saw this scene, he was displeased, and asked Henry with a frown: "Why didn't these people go to gather?"

Henry smiled and explained, "They are in charge of the slaves, and there are more than fifty people in the cave. It's all the property of the adults, and if no one looks at these slaves, they pariahs will be lazy, and the adults will lose a lot of gold. ”

Wang Yong ignored Henry, turned to one of the cavalrymen, and ordered, "You go and ask Uncle Lane to send a hundred men over here to take over these slaves." The horseman answered, mounted his horse and galloped away.

Wang Yong asked Henry, "What mines are here?"

"There are iron and copper mines," said Henry, "and there is a coal mine to the north of the cave, which we are digging from the belly of the mountain to the south, and sometimes we can come across small silver and gold mines, and some other metals. I don't know the specifics, but those precious metals are all handled by our head of the regiment. Wang Yong thought about it, what Henry said was basically the same as what Luke said, and he shouldn't be lying.

Wang Yong asked curiously: "You only send so many slaves to take care of them, are you not afraid that they will rebel?"

Henry replied confidently, "We only give them a little food every day, and it's good that they don't starve to death, and they don't have the strength to rebel." Also, most of them have slave contracts and will definitely do what we do. ”

At this time, Wang Yong saw a carriage come out of the cave, loaded not with ore, but with five or six emaciated corpses.
