Fang Lide took out a colorful map of Shengshan County and displayed it on the table.

Then, a wisp of true qi was slowly injected, and in the originally flat picture, mountains, rivers, forests, and houses jumped out of the picture one after another, becoming three-dimensional.

Fang Lide pointed to the Yuyu River on the edge of Anhua Town and said:

"The river does not freeze all year round and has plenty of water. Starting from the section of the river where Anhua Town is located, the middle and lower reaches of the river to the northwest, even in winter, the water depth is enough for small and medium-sized ships of 500 materials, and in the flood season, you can take large ships with 1,000 materials. ”

Hong Fan immediately understood and said: "It turns out that the boss has already thought about building a river port in Anhua Town?"

Fang Lide pointed to the location of Anhua Town in the map, and then moved half a finger distance to the northwest along the Yuyu River, and then lightly tapped twice at this location.

"Right here. At first, it was purely for the purpose of transporting the Jinwu Stone Mine out that the nearby use of the Yuyu River was considered. However, Shen Fuming in Yubu Langzhong, in the interval of the war, had quietly completed the survey of the border within a radius of thousands of miles, and this map was written by him. Moreover, he specifically mentioned in the secret letter of the official that the mineral resources around Anhua Town are extremely rich, but the reserves cannot be determined. ”

Hong Fan suddenly realized: "I see." So, this Golden Crow Stone Mine is actually just an introduction?"

Fang Lide nodded, "Just this kind of rich ore of all colors is enough for the imperial court to make up its mind to increase development efforts here." For this reason, the officials and several ministers of the cabinet have decided to temporarily restore the supervision system on Anxi Road, and the new transfer envoy will soon be established. ”

Hong Fan showed an expression that was not a big deal to see the excitement, and said with a smile: "Then this Anxi Prefecture is going to be lively." The peace talks between the national dynasty and the Huns are also scheduled to be held in Anxi Prefecture, right?"

Fang Lide said: "Not bad. Therefore, the burden on you and me is not light, because the Huns will definitely send monks to sneak in first. Next, I will continue to be in charge of the periphery, and you will have to work hard and go deep into the mining line. ”

Hong Fan rubbed his hands and said: "It is incumbent on me! I don't know how the bidding for the Jinwu Stone Mine is going on?"

"There were some surprises. The original intention of the imperial court was to lure them to their advantage and take the opportunity to win over several immortal sects on Anxi Road, but as a result, an inksmith came out halfway, saying that it could not only detect the stone reserves in advance, but also immediately take out large-scale quarrying equipment, which made Li Zhizhou, who was in charge of this matter, quite moved. ”

"Inksmith? ”

"Accident, right? Considering the Mo family's previous actions, your task and mine are even heavier. ”

The two talked secretly for two hours. At the end, Fang Lide specially mentioned:

"The movements of the court that I just mentioned are top secret. I don't need to remind you of any extra words, right?"

Hong Fan clenched his fists and smiled: "My subordinates know the severity. ”

It is said that after leaving the Wangjing Restaurant, he wandered around the village against the sun.

Looking at the people who are enjoying the cool or busy in their new homes, they can clearly see some new atmosphere from the faces of these people.

Wandering away from one of the houses, through the low fence wall, he hugged his fist at an old man who was turning the soil in the courtyard:

"Hello uncle, what's wrong at home lately?"

The old man put down the hoe in his hand, frowned, and said in an indistinct Shengshan County Tubai: "You little doll, how can you talk? We are all old homeless, war and famine, why have you ever experienced it, which day will be smooth?"

You Li complained at this split, shook his head awkwardly, and thought to himself, although this house is full of evil, it is not a big deal in a short time, and it will be okay to come over again when you have time in the future, and then continue to hurry.

Out of the village, you will enter the boundary of Luanming Mountain. Luanming Mountain is one of the three mines that store golden black stones, and it is surrounded by several battalions of border troops inside and out, and it is extremely heavily guarded.

Seeing the rows of deer that were slanted into the sky, he folded the newly built official road to the county seat with interest.

In the hot summer, there are hardly any people on the official road, except for the occasional caravan. The weather was too hot, Rao was already in the realm of enlightenment, and after walking three or four kilometers, he couldn't stand the scorching sun in this plateau area, so he left the official road and went to the stream not far from the roadside to wash his face.

The stream was murmuring, and I wiped my face with a cool hand, and my heart gradually calmed down. You raised her eyes to look at the towering Luanming Mountain, remembering that there was a legend of Luanfeng and Ming in this realm, and the common people passed it on from mouth to mouth, saying that they had noses and eyes, and they didn't know whether it was true or false.

Then, instead of returning to the official road, he crossed the stream and burrowed into the forest ahead.

A moment later, two people stood beside the boulder where they had been.

"Senior brother, why did that little ghost suddenly run into the creek and forest? It can't be that he found us, right?"

"Rest assured, these two robes given by Master have the effect of astringent aura. We've been keeping a distance of one mile, and that little ghost is only a late-stage Qi refining cultivator, so it's impossible to find us. Maybe it was because he was playful, and he ran to dig a bird's nest in the forest opposite. ”

The two of them were sure that they would return to the official road, so they hid in a big tree by the stream and waited quietly for a while.

Seeing that they couldn't wait, the two looked at each other, jumped off the tree, got up and down, and got into the forest across the stream.

chased after it, but found that the trace of wandering was completely lost. The two of them were surprised and even more annoyed.

"Did that little imp really find us? ”

"Senior brother, what can I do now? If you lose someone, it's not easy to explain to Yulongshan. ”

"Senior sister, don't be impatient, with the strength of that little ghost's feet, it is impossible to run too far. Let's look for it separately, but we must pay attention to safety, although it is just a little ghost, but the realm is equivalent to us after all, we must pay attention to safety and keep in touch at any time. ”

The two agreed on a meeting place and began to go their separate ways.

Not far away, the cat was wandering on a big tree, looking at the two of them who were going south and north, and suddenly understood a lot of things in their hearts. After a little groaning, he chose the nun who was heading north and quietly followed.

Speaking of which, it's really a coincidence that there is no book, and he happens to know both of them, and they are the Qiuweishan monks who wanted to kill Shi Songhan in Anhua Town at the beginning of the year.

"If I'm not mistaken, that tall and thin man seems to be surnamed Li, and the female cultivator's surname is Lu?"

Although Lu Jinhua was extremely vigilant, he still accidentally ran into a few beasts blocking the way, and had to kill them as quickly as possible.

Seeing that the brother and sister were far enough away, they fell to the ground and deliberately made a big noise, pretending to chop branches to make harpoons.

Lu Jinhua, who was more than ten feet away, heard the movement and was really attracted to it. After discovering that he was free, he had to send a message to his senior brother as soon as possible.

Just took out the messenger, but saw Youli suddenly turn around. Lu Jinhua was shocked, so she was about to take action, but found that her mind was in a trance for no reason, and when she came back to her senses, there was already a human wall in front of her, and a cold dagger was set up around her neck.

"Little sister, let's have a good chat. ”

Lu Jinhua was so frightened that her face was pale, and she didn't dare to move. This is the first time she has followed her two senior brothers down the mountain to perform the task of the master after she has achieved cultivation, and it is the first time in her life that she has been stabbed to the neck like this, so she asked in a trembling voice:

"What do you want to talk about?"

You Li pulled out the messenger talisman in her hand, and said "offended" lightly, then ripped off the purse-style pouch around her waist, and then touched her belly and sealed the door of her dantian, blocking the operation of the aura in her body.

You Li put away the dagger, took a step back, and then said with a smile: "Little sister, don't panic, you and I are not relatives, we are not enemies, there is no need to act like enemies of life and death, don't you say?"

Lu Jinhua saw that this little Taoist boy looked harmless to humans and animals, and he was very polite in his words and deeds, and he wanted to resist, so he said: "There is no hatred, but I have nothing to tell you." ”

After hearing this, he suddenly shook his hand, pulled his mouth, and said with a smile: "Is this the attitude that a prisoner should have?"

Lu Jinhua was stunned by this sudden slap, and subconsciously said: "I don't know anything, it was Elder Hua of Yulong Mountain who found us, promised a generous reward, and asked us to help Qiu Weishan help keep an eye on every move of the Xuanguan of Yuyu Mountain." ”

Then Ai Ai cried again: "I really don't know anything other than this. ”

Youli has been running the mind transmission technique, and according to the fluctuation of the divine soul, he knew that Lu Jinhua was not lying, so after knocking out the other party, he no longer lingered, put away the dagger and purse, and accelerated directly to the north.
