Chapter 328: Gossip

Everyone dispersed, and only Zhao Xianglin, Xiao Tianhe and several captains were left in front of the stone building.

Zhao Xianglin said to Xiao Tianhe: "You are the deputy commander of our Eight Kings Battalion, you must first understand the layout of the camp. In addition to our chief and deputy commanders who are in charge of the overall situation, all the other members of the Eight Kings Battalion are divided into five teams according to different tasks, and are in charge of five captains.

Your friend is the leader of the supply team, which is tasked with connecting the camp with the outside world and bringing supplies up the mountain from the outside world.

This is Captain Qian, who leads the garrison and is responsible for the security and supervision of the camp.

To the left of Captain Qian is Captain Feng of the quarrying team. The task of the quarrying team is to mine the rock in the nearby mountains that is rich in attribute gems, so that the gems can be used to make money, and the waste rock can also be used for building carving. ”

"No wonder the houses here are all made of stone!" Xiao Tianhe suddenly understood.

"Captain Zheng, lead the gold exploration team. As the name suggests, it is mainly to find and explore the source of money and mines in the nearby area. The mineral source information required by the gold exploration team and the quarrying team was provided by the search team led by Captain Chen.

Well, the camp layout is roughly like this, and there are some small details that you can slowly get used to. After Zhao Xianglin finished his introduction, he greeted several captains, "From now on, you must obey the words of the deputy commander, and if you resist, you will be punished for disobedience!"

"Yes......" Judging from the captains' sparse and weak answers, they were very unconvinced. As for Zheng Huaili, he simply didn't say a word.

Xiao Tianhe hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, Commander Zhao, I haven't decided to accept the position of deputy commander yet!"

"Hey, count him as acquaintances!" Zheng Huaili muttered quietly.

"What, you still don't want to be at this point?" Zhao Xianglin was half complaining, half aggrieved. If someone else had been so pushing, I'm afraid she would have been furious.

"There's something I'd like to ask. Xiao Tianhe, "I wonder if that search team will find out information other than stone mines and money mines?"

Zhao Xianglin replied: "Of course, the news about the immortal and demon clans, the news of the Great Emperor and the Great Monarch, the news of various treasures, the news of other camps, and so on...... As long as it is useful information, it must be investigated. After all, the Eight Kings Camp is located on the top of a mountain in the suburbs, and it is impossible to be isolated from the world. "In this way, the duties of the search team are similar to those of the Taiqing Sect Hunting Words.

Xiao Tianhe got the answer he wanted, and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay! I'll be this deputy commander!"

Zhao Xianglin was overjoyed: "That's great!"

The faces of several captains were not very good-looking, especially Zheng Huaili, who snorted angrily and turned around to leave.

"Hey, Captain Zheng, don't hurry to go, I still have something to say. Xiao Tianhe stopped him.

"What, as soon as you climb to the position of deputy commander, you want to show off your might to me?" Zheng Huaili sneered, "Come less! I won't eat your set!"

Xiao Tianhe had a kind smile on his face: "I know you're not convinced, I'm afraid the captains are the same." Well, I'll compare myself with you. If I win, you will obey my orders in the future, and if I lose, the deputy commander will be left to you. How?"

Zheng Huaili's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"

"The eldest husband is naturally full of words. ”

Zhao Xianglin hurriedly said: "No! You are only at the one-yuan level, and Captain Zheng is already a master of the five elements level! How can you give up the deputy commander to him so rashly?"

"I know the difference in strength, so naturally I won't fight hard with him. Xiao Tianhe made a reassuring gesture, "Captain Zheng, aren't you the captain of the gold exploration team? Then let's compare the 'gold exploration'! You pick a few people, and I will also pick a few people, with a time limit of one month, to see which of our two teams has more 'gold', and which side will win." ”

"Yes! That's fair. Zheng Huaili felt that the position of deputy commander was already in his pocket at this moment.

"You...... Captain Zheng has been in charge of this work for several years, how can you compare to him? Besides, in just a month's time, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a single money mine!" Zhao Xianglin was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Hey, since Xiao Daoyou is so well aware of the righteousness, how can I be opportunistic? It just so happens that the money mine we are working on is almost exhausted, so let's choose ten members of each team to dig a new mine within a month, and finally decide the winner with the amount of money we have accumulated!" Zheng Huaili said magnanimously.

"That's very good, then the captains present will be the referees, prepare to stop today, and start counting the days tomorrow. "Xiao Tian Dao.

Zhao Xianglin flicked her sleeves angrily: "You stupid...... That's it, I don't care about you!"

Not letting Zhao Xianglin be the referee made Zheng Huaili more agreeable, and the more he looked at Xiao Tianhe now, the more pleasing he felt: "No problem." But you're new to the city, and you don't know any of the members of the team. Why don't I recommend you a few good candidates?"

Xiao Tianhe politely refused: "Heh, thank you Captain Zheng for your kindness, but let me pick it myself." ”

"Well, the brothers in the camp of the Eight Kings are up to you! I wish you a successful trip to the gold! You and I will see you in a month. Zheng Huaili grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

After everyone else left, Xiao Tianhe followed Zhao Xianglin back to the stone building. After closing the door, Zhao Xianglin gave Xiao Tianhe a big roll of his eyes, and reprimanded him dissatisfiedly: "You, you, I tried my best to promote you in vain, but you ...... But you don't know how to lift!"

Xiao Tianhe smiled and said: "Your 'strength to overcome public opinion' only has a superficial effect, which of those captains is willing to obey? And not only does he disobey me, but even you don't accept it! Don't you notice that they are more towards Zheng Huaili? If I accepted the post of deputy commander just now, I am afraid that in the future, you and I will be isolated, or even set aside, then it will be troublesome!"

Zhao Xianglin sighed desolately: "Of course I know! That's why I support it."

I have heard of your deeds, and it just so happened that Marshal Xin also told you to treat you well. Zheng Huaili's city government is very deep, good at tricks, and will also win people's hearts. I was expecting you to become deputy commander and assist me in taking charge of the Eight Kings Camp, but now you have made it like this. If Zheng Huaili really became the deputy commander, those captains would even less listen to me!"

"Don't panic, I'm not sure I'll lose to him. Xiao Tianhe smiled nonchalantly and poured his own tea.

Zhao Xianglin snatched the teacup that Xiao Tianhe had already handed to his mouth, drank it all despite the hot tea, and then said: "Do you think you still have a chance to win? How can the search team tell you all the information about the money mine? If they deliberately conceal it, let alone you, even if it is me, I don't want to dig out a word from their mouths! In other words, you have to find the information about the money mine yourself, and then organize people to dig it, in just one month, in the blink of an eye, how can you beat Zheng Huaili?"

Xiao Tianhe was still unhurried: "Sister Zhao, let me ask you, are there a lot of money mines around, and is the output very high?"

"How is it possible? Money and mines are rare everywhere in the world, and that's why they create the value of money. If it's everywhere and the yield is quite high, I don't have to worry about you in this competition......" Zhao Xianglin shook her head again and again, suddenly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Hey, what did you call me just now?"

Xiao Tianhe did not answer: "The next question, is the money directly produced from the money mine, or is it processed into money after producing a certain material?"

"Of course, you can use it directly when you dig it out, and you don't need to process it. Huh, could it be that you ......?" Zhao Xianglin pointed at Xiao Tianhe, her face full of disbelief.

Xiao Tianhe smiled helplessly: "That's right! After I ascended, I have never seen what the money in the Yuyu realm looks like......

"Then you still have to compare with him? You haven't even seen the appearance of money, how can you find money mines?" Zhao Xianglin was anxious again.

Xiao Tianhe still didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Last question, I don't know how much money Zheng Huaili can dig up in a month?"

"Well, I'll have to do the math. Ten people dig up to two mines at the same time, assuming they start digging tomorrow and dig for thirty days, the money mine is considered medium-scale......" Zhao Xianglin lowered his head and estimated "gurgling", and finally reported a vague number, "About 200,000 pearls." ”

"Two hundred thousand. Xiao Tianhe smiled disdainfully, "It seems that I still overestimate him." ”

"Ho! You don't have much ability, but your tone is not small!" Zhao Xianglin said sarcastically, "200,000 beads, do you know that ordinary people can't save up for 200 years! Even if I promote you to be the deputy commander, if you want to save 200,000 beads, I'm afraid it will take more than 100 decades! Where do you dig such a huge fortune? Besides, don't expect your team members to help you wholeheartedly, they all wear the same pants as Zheng Huaili, and it's good if they don't make trouble for you!"

"He has brothers, and I have too!"

"Are the three guys who came with you?" Zhao Xianglin pouted, "Plus you are only four." ”

Xiao Tianhe smiled "hehe": "Didn't you say that I can pick any people in the Eight Kings Camp?" I'll pick you again!"

"Me?" Zhao Xianglin's eyes widened, "I don't know how to look for mines, and I don't know how to mine, so what do you want me to do?"

"Pick you to see with your own eyes, how I completely defeated Zheng Huaili!" Xiao Tianhe patted his chest and made a bold statement.

Seeing that Xiao Tianhe had been confident from beginning to end, Zhao Xianglin was puzzled: "Could it be that you really have any special mining skills?"

Xiao Tianhe smiled proudly: "Who said I was going to dig? Don't worry, I will definitely make Zheng Huaili defeated!"

"Where did you get the money from if you don't mine, are you rich?" Zhao Xianglin became more and more confused, looking Xiao Tianhe up and down, "I don't think you look like a rich person!"

"Haha! At least 1.2 million beads, at most 1.5 million beads, nine out of ten wins!" Xiao Tianhe laughed. This figure was exactly how much money Liao Qifeng, Sun Hailiang, and Lu Xiaoyan made through the Wanxianlou gambling game on the way to the Eight Kings Camp. I believe that with the friendship of several people, it is not difficult to borrow money from them, anyway, you only need to take out more money than Zheng Huaili.

"It's really yours!" Although Zhao Xianglin didn't know why Xiao Tianhe was so rich, as long as he could win now.

Xiao Tianhe got up, poured a full teacup for Zhao Xianglin, walked to the door, and turned back in a chic manner: "Sister Zhao, you can drink tea here with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me!"

Zhao Xianglin was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, Xiao Tianhe had already walked out of the stone building. Zhao Xianglin chased him out and shouted at his back: "Thank you!"

"Thank you for what, I will inevitably have something to trouble you in the future!" Xiao Tianhe waved his hand at her and ran away.

......

In a stone house in the Eight Kings Camp, several captains were sitting around a round table.

"Boss, why don't you use the No. 130 coin mine that is being excavated now to fight that kid?" Captain Chen of the search team asked puzzledly, "Although it is almost exhausted, the No. 130 coin mine is the largest coin mine that our Bawang Camp has discovered in recent decades, and if we dig out the remaining parts, we can definitely easily defeat that kid!" It can be seen from Captain Chen's name to Zheng Huaili that Zhao Xianglin is no longer the real "leader" in the camp.

According to the rules of the Yu Yu Realm, after the discovery of the money mine, the discoverer can plant a camp flag on the mine, and all the output of the money mine in the future will be recorded in the credit book of the camp. Correspondingly, everyone in the camp will be rewarded with a certain amount. If the money is discovered by an individual, then the finder can enjoy a share of the thousandth of the coin. The money mines excavated in the camp of the Eight Kings are named after the date of discovery. This No. 130 coin mine was discovered on January 30 two years ago, and has been excavated for more than two years so far, which is a good source of mine.

Captain Feng of the quarrying team smiled:

"Why can't your brain turn around? All the money in the world looks the same, who can tell which mine it was dug from? That kid is beyond his strength, which is equivalent to giving up the position of deputy commander to the boss!"

"I see, Captain Feng really woke up from his dreams with a word!" Captain Chen nodded and smiled, "But I really don't understand why Zhao Xianglin, that stupid woman, would promote a newcomer to be the deputy commander for no reason?"

Zheng Huaili sneered: "How can it be for no reason? Zhao Xianglin is not stupid at all, she is afraid that she has realized that she has no authority in this Eight Kings Camp, so her temper is getting worse and worse." Just in time to transfer a few stunned youths, she thought that there was a life-saving straw, so she quickly grabbed it and supported it to strengthen her own power. ”

Captain Qian of the guard team said: "However, the person who was transferred to the Eight Kings Camp with Xiao Tianhe, in addition to the kid who replaced Captain Li, there are also two guys with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, all of whom were stuffed to me by Zhao Xianglin. These two people are both three-talented, and they are better than Xiao Tianhe, who is one-yuan-level, right? Why did Zhao Xianglin choose the one surnamed Xiao in the end?"

Captain Feng touched his chin and laughed "hehe": "Have you forgotten how Zhao Xianglin climbed to the position of commander?" It is not strange that she would choose that Xiao Tianhe!"

Captain Qian looked suddenly enlightened, and also smiled thiefly: "That's right, that's right! Of course, if you want to find a good match, you have to choose someone who is a little more handsome and gentle, hahaha!"

With a "bang", Zheng Huaili smashed his fist on the table, startling several captains. I saw that his face was gloomy, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger: "Don't mention the past again!"

Several captains were submissive, looking at each other, not knowing what kind of anger he had.

Zheng Huaili said again: "That Xiao Tianhe is quite acquainted. From all indications, it is speculated that most of this competition is the steps he paved for himself, so that he can get off the donkey on the slope, not only not to offend Zhao Xianglin, but also to give me the deputy commander. Zhao Xianglin's wishful thinking is about to come to naught. Captain Li, you don't have to be frustrated, when I get the deputy commander, no, after I become the commander, I will definitely let you reinstate your official position!"

Captain Li, who had been sullen because he was dismissed, had his eyes lit up and asked happily, "Boss, are you going to start acting?"

Zheng Huaili smiled cruelly and pinched the joints of his fists to "crackle": "In this camp of the Eight Kings, there are my henchmen everywhere, Zhao Xianglin, she is just a lonely person, and I have put up with her for a long time!

......

After Xiao Tianhe left the stone building, he went straight to the entrance of the camp halfway up the mountain and found Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang. As soon as he said about borrowing money, the two immediately agreed.

"It turns out that you are worried about our money, so you are so confident in proposing the competition!

Xiao Tianhe said solemnly: "No matter how much money is used in the end, you can rest assured, I will definitely return it in the future." ”

"Hey, what are you doing with this? Anyway, all this money is earned thanks to you, you can use as much as you want!" Sun Hailiang said, "After you become the deputy commander, don't forget to take care of our old brothers!"

"That's nature. However, this matter still has to trouble Xiao Yan to run a few more legs, and convert the money in the beads into cash in batches, so as not to make them suspicious. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"He, he must be happy to be the captain of the supply team! This guy, now his status is higher than mine, it's really unwilling, haha!" Liao Qifeng joked.

"Who told you not to stand up for Brother Xiao at that time? Don't be unwilling, neither of us can compare to Xiao Yan in this regard. Sun Hailiang said.

"Yes, I was a little worried, but at that time, I thought it would be enough to have that fierce woman in charge to support Brother Xiao. Liao Qifeng glanced at Xiao Tianhe, his eyes were very complicated, "Brother Xiao, I heard that you spent the night in that fierce woman's room last night, and she cried for a while at night. Today, I saw that the fierce woman was very serious and caring for you, could it be that you were really like those people rumored, you ...... last night Give her a 'bow to the overlord'?" Liao Qifeng said that he was also happy, "It is said that when it comes to an unfamiliar environment, you must first gain a firm foothold, but your 'strange move' to gain a firm foothold should be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented, right?"

"Bah, admire a ghost! Can you believe this kind of nonsense?" Xiao Tianhe cried and laughed, "Even you were slapped by her two big mouths, how could I get her? I know it's a lie when I think about it with my toes!"

Sun Hailiang was already laughing back and forth: "What nonsense!"

After the three of them laughed together for a while, Sun Hailiang said mysteriously: "But I also heard another rumor, which is different from Brother Liao's, but the credibility is much higher!"

"Tell me about it. For the gossip that popped up overnight, Xiao Tianhe was very interested.

Sun Hailiang approached the two of them and whispered: "I'm afraid you don't know how that fierce woman became the commander, right? I heard people say that she used to be just an unknown pawn in the Eight Kings Camp, and then she took the initiative to sacrifice herself to the previous commander, and then she climbed to a high position. The steps were exactly the same as this time for Brother Xiao: on the first day, he went to Xiaolou after nightfall, spent the night alone with the commander, and was promoted to deputy commander the next day. After the previous commander leaves, she will be the only one to succeed!"

Xiao Tianhe's eyes widened more and more, Sun Hailiang's words were not as simple as "rumors", this part about himself was indeed false, but the part about Zhao Xianglin was difficult to say. Thinking of Zhao Xianglin crying bitterly the night before, she wanted to speak and stopped, which seemed to confirm the truth of this rumor from the side.

"If I tell you everything, I'm afraid we won't even have to be friends in the future. Zhao Xianglin's words suddenly appeared in Xiao Tianhe's heart, and he didn't go for a long time.
