Qin Wen couldn't help but nod after listening to Lu Mo's words, if there is a spar ore on the market, it is too rare, it should be not only their family who is curious, it is estimated that those monks who used to trade spar ore have already found out the origin of the ore, why why did these people not do anything?

Like this kind of spar mine, not to mention the three deacon families in Dongcheng, even those families in Xicheng and Beicheng that have been inherited for thousands of years will be bitten like flies and bloodthirsty, where can it be their turn? Qin Wen thought this not because he had doubts about Xiao Liu, but because he thought that the authenticity of this matter was up for debate.

Xiao Liu hurriedly said at this time: "Master Qin, this matter is true, I heard the shopkeeper say that these people claim to the outside world that they are the smelting monks hired by their Northern City Demon Cultivation Snow Mansion, and these ores are all stolen from the Snow Mansion, and it is estimated that these monks take relatively few ores each time, so they have not attracted the attention of others." ”

Lu Mo frowned slightly when he saw Qin Wen, so he spoke: "Xuefu is also a very good disguise, the shopkeeper who opened a shop in this expulsion city knows that Dao Xuefu started by smelting spars, but the Demon Cultivation Family is relatively strict with the management of hired smelting monks, especially Dao monks, if you want to steal out the ore, it is not easy, I guess we still have to consider this matter carefully." ”

Qin Wen also nodded at this time and said: "Although we are not short of spars now, but if such an important mineral deposit as the spar mine really has a chance to be obtained, it will be very beneficial to our future development, Xiaoliu, you and Chang Yue will go to inquire about the specific situation, but be careful and safe, since the Zhou family can send people to the city to trade ores, then he must have a careful plan, don't show the flaws and be discovered by their people, if it really can't be done, come back." I asked Lu Mo to find Shi Bin and them to investigate. ”

Xiao Liu and Chang Yue bowed down and agreed, and then the two walked out of the main hall, Qin Wen hesitated for a moment and asked Lu Modao, "Did the Zhou family really discover the spar mine this week, how could they go to the city to trade?"

Lu Mo thought for a while and said: "I now believe in Xiao Liu's statement, the Zhou family survives in the mountains and forests, and it is normal to find ore, although it is a very precious spar mine. However, there should be no monk in their family who can smelt ore, so he has to trade it. ”

"In the vicinity of the Expulsion City, it is somewhat impossible to trade outside through the desert, and to trade in large quantities with the families in the city, it is estimated that they are still afraid, just like the families of Huangfu and Jifu can eat a lot of spar ore, but once they know about the Zhou family's discovery of the spar mine, it is estimated that their first thought is to destroy the Zhou family and swallow this spar ore by themselves. ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly and said, "Your analysis is good. And these spar ores are useless if they are not exchanged for spirit stones or spars in the Zhou family, so they choose to send people into the city to conduct scattered transactions, their shipments are not large, and they also use the snow mansion in the north city as a cover, not to mention that they are originally mountain and forest monks, and there are not many people who know them in the city, so the monks in other mansions have no suspicion of them. ”

Lu Mo thought for a moment at this time and said, "I estimate that if it is a mineral deposit, there must be not a few monks who come to exchange them in the city. Maybe Xiao Liu, they only encountered one of the teams, the size of the Expulsion City. They should trade in different regions, and the shipment volume will be larger. ”

Qin Wen thought for a while and said: "If it is really a spar mine, then we also have to evaluate the strength of the Zhou family, when we went to save Xiaoliu, we used to wander around the Zhou family, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for the monks outside to blend in." We must first figure out the reality of the Zhou family before we can make a specific attack plan. ”

Lu Mo nodded and said, "Now there are only one hundred and fifty Dharma Circle Monks in our Mansion who are dealing with Spirit Rank Cultivators, and there are less than fifty Monk Rank Cultivators at the lower level of Xuan Master, and there are five people who are at the middle level of Xuan Master, and there is only one Proud Monk at the upper rank of Xuan Master." If the strength of the Zhou family is too strong, we can't attack rashly. ”

"It is located in the mountains and forests, and our actions are very easy to be discovered by them, and there are many idle monks in the mountains and forests, so they may not dare to provoke us when they go, but once they are defeated, it is estimated that there will be idle monks who have fallen into the well along the way, so after this matter is decided, there must be a careful plan. ”

Qin Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's pay attention to this matter first in the past two days, I will first go to the Dan Room to refine two furnaces of pills for later use, and when Xiaoliu and them come back, you can send someone to the Dan Room to inform me." ”

Lu Mo nodded and agreed, Qin Wen walked into the Dan room in the backyard, and after two days, Qin Wen received a report from the monk, saying that Xiao Liu'er had returned, and was now waiting with Lu Mo in the main hall to discuss things, Qin Wen nodded, put away a furnace of pills that had been refined, and then walked to the main hall of the manor.

After entering the main hall, he saw that there were only Lu Mo, Xiao Liu, and Chang Yue in the hall, and even the monk who had followed Lu Mo was not by Lu Mo's side, Qin Wen knew in his heart that it seemed that the spar deposits that Xiao Liu had obtained should be true, so he walked to the Taishi chair, sat down and asked Xiao Liu, "Have you two checked any news in the past two days?"

Xiao Liu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Master Qin, this Zhou family should have really found the spar deposit, Chang Yue and I saw the idle monk I met in the mountains and forests on the street the day before yesterday, and followed him to a small courtyard near Beicheng, this small courtyard is the private property of the Snow Mansion, but Chang Yue inquired nearby, but this small courtyard was rented three months ago. ”

"We have been staying near the courtyard that day, and in the evening, a total of more than 30 monks entered the courtyard, some of them are the monks of the Zhou family we know, after they entered the courtyard, they never came out, and at night only a few guys from nearby restaurants went to deliver wine and food to the courtyard, as for what they discussed inside, we were afraid of alarming them, and we did not dare to use our divine sense to investigate. ”

Qin Wen and Lu Mo glanced at each other, and then bowed their heads slightly to Lu Mo and said: "Your analysis the day before yesterday is good, they really don't have only two people, if these more than thirty monks are distributed in the city of expulsion, the daily shipment volume is also considerable, the Zhou family has rented a small courtyard near the main city for three months, it seems that they want to do it for a long time." ”

Xiao Liu echoed at this time: "Yesterday morning, when the sky was not bright, there was a monk from the Xuanshi realm out of the small courtyard, Chang Yue and I followed him, he kept out of the south city, and then flew in the direction of the mountains and forests, at that time his speed was very fast, Chang Yue and I lost it a few times, but we followed the direction of Zhou's house, and finally followed the monk at the edge of the mountains and forests and private fields." ”

"He stopped for half a pillar of incense in that marginal area, and in the mountains and forests, two Zhou family stewards I knew came, and the three of them exchanged something, Chang Yue and I didn't see it clearly because of the distance, but it was very likely that it was the handover of the spirit stone and the spar ore. ”

Lu Mo opened his mouth at this time and asked Xiao Liudao, "Are you sure that the one who exchanged things with them is the Zhou family steward?"

Xiao Liu nodded and said: "Absolutely, when Chang Yue and I were in the mountains and forests before, there were often stewards of the Zhou family passing by on the territory where we were located, and they would sometimes attack us idle monks, so I knew them more clearly, but we were afraid that we would be discovered after entering the mountains and forests, so we followed the monks who exchanged things and returned to the courtyard of Beicheng." ”

Qin Wen bowed his head slightly: "It seems that the news of Xiao Liu's investigation this time is not wrong, this Zhou family really found a spar deposit in the mountains and forests, although this kind of mineral deposit means a huge profit, but there is also a huge risk in it, but now that this matter is known to us, this risk is also worth taking, we might as well formulate a plan now, it is best to send someone to check inside the Zhou family." ”

Xiao Liu couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Most of the people living in the Zhou family's manor are the children of their own family, and their family has a strict hierarchy, even if they are disciples in their mansion, if they don't have permission, they can't just break in, if we want to send someone in, it is estimated that we may not be able to do it." ”

Qin Wen pondered for a while, when he first saved Xiaoliu, Chang Yue also said the same, it seems that it is impossible to get the information of the Zhou family by spying on other families, but if he can't enter the Zhou family, then he doesn't know anything about the situation of the Zhou family, and even if Qin Wen leads all the monks to the mountains and forests, he will not be able to effectively attack the Zhou family.

This is a tricky question, the four people in the main hall have fallen into silence, like the current situation, it is like a tiger eating a turtle, there is no way to eat, and when half a pillar of incense comes over, Lu Mo said: "Let's not do this, since the Zhou family has found mineral deposits in the mountains and forests, the mineral deposits are not necessarily in the place where the Zhou family lives, maybe it is also possible in the mountains and forests controlled by his family." ”

"Let's start with the mine first, send monks to find the location of the mine, although the control there is also tighter, but it is better than their manor to explore, it is estimated that you can still get some information about the inside of the Zhou family there. ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "This is also a way, but who is more appropriate to send?"

Xiao Liu and Chang Yue said at the same time at this time: "Master Qin, just the two of us go, we are more familiar with the mountains and forests, as soon as there is news, we will come back immediately to report." ”

Qin Wen shook his head slightly and said: "Although you are more familiar with the mountains and forests, but your cultivation is a little low, and it is not easy to deal with unexpected situations, I think it is more appropriate to send a monk from the Xuanshi realm, Shi Bin has nothing to do during this time, it is better to send him."
