Chapter 272: Digging
Emperor Wei stayed in Requiem Mountain for half a month!
Yes, it's been in the open air for half a month!
It took half a month to take care of the tens of thousands of heroes in Requiem Mountain.
Some people may say that he is doing this, but he did clean every grave, even if it is a play, how many people can do this?
When Emperor Wei returned to the palace, all the four frontiers came back with good news, most of the tribes had already surrendered to the Great Wei, and now the only thing that is difficult to bite is the two big tribes in the western Xinjiang.
One is the Chiyue tribe, which is an old tribe in Western Xinjiang, with a total population of no less than three million and an army of 300,000. It's like a small country.
The other is the Purple Fire Tribe, which is also an old tribe in Western Xinjiang, with a total population of no less than two million and an army of 300,000.
Although the Chiyue tribe and the Purple Fire tribe coexist in the prairie outside the western frontier of the Wei State, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and outsiders must think that they will fight a battle from time to time because of the grassland resources.
But in fact, there is friendship between the two tribes! Every year, many people get married, so to speak, fraternal tribes.
So, if you move one, you're going to face two!
300,000 plus 300,000, that's 600,000 troops!
Therefore, the state of Chu and the state of Wei did not dare to move these two tribes for a long time.
But this time, Wei was going to move, and it went to 400,000 Liujia troops, led by Wei Suo, Hao Hongji, and Gan Chengyuan.
However, they will not start a big war immediately, but will first take the means of negotiation, and once they really want to fight, they will wait for Liu Chu to come before making a decision.
And Liu Chu, after dealing with the witch and ghost clan, also went to Western Xinjiang, and now he has been here for more than a week.
For these two tribes, Liu Chu also has a headache, let's fight, he's afraid of heavy losses, don't fight, such two pieces of fat are dangling in front of him, this is itching in his heart!
The two tribes of Chiyue and Zihuo have hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and the grain reserves are even more amazing.
Moreover, the two tribes of Chiyue and Zihuo usually attacked and harassed the people on the border of their western frontier and robbed them of their things, and Liu Chu did not feel any guilt.
"General, why don't we exchange weapons with them?" Hao Hongji asked.
"No! exchanging weapons with them is to increase their strength, and they can exchange anything, but weapons can't. Liu Chu shook his head decisively.
Weapons are the second most precious thing in the world after food!
Because you have a weapon in your hand, you can hit others, and at the same time, you are not afraid of being bullied by others!
"General, don't we have a batch of obsolete weapons still in the treasury? The wear and tear are very serious, and it doesn't hurt to replace them with a little polishing, and it won't be long before they will rust and scrap them immediately. Hao Hongji said.
"Hey, those weapons seem to do. Liu Chu nodded, that batch of weapons was about to be melted down and reforged, if that batch of weapons were exchanged, there would be no problem, it was equivalent to exchanging scrap iron.
"Polish, make a new look, yin them!" Hao Hongji said.
"Yes, yes, I have my demeanor. Liu Chu nodded with satisfaction.
Hao Hongji rolled his eyes.
"Write a letter back and see when we can pack that shipment and bring it over. Liu Chu commanded.
"Yes!" Hao Hongji immediately went down to write a letter.
At the same time, inside the big tent of the Akatsuki tribe.
The Khan of the Akatsuki tribe, Rodnibella, and the Khan Kirksson of the Purple Fire tribe are drinking.
"Kirkson, I've heard that Wei wants to use a knife on us!" Rodney Bella said.
"Does he dare to come? We have an army of 600,000 troops! He is like this in his country, and he will not dare to really start a war with us!"
"Didn't you send an ambassador over before, and wanted us to bow down?
"I have received news that except for our two tribes, the other large and small tribes around Wei have basically surrendered to Wei. ”
"I guess Wei will definitely use a knife against us!" Rodney Bella said.
"Hmph, does he dare? Once a war starts with our 600,000-strong army, with the strength of our soldiers, it won't be a problem to hold him a million troops, right?"
"Once he loses a million troops, he is not afraid that the Chu State will take advantage of the situation?" Kirksson said with a smile.
"It seems to make sense. Rodney Bella nodded.
"Khan, there are Wei envoys outside. "Someone came in to report it.
"Let them in. Rodney Bella said.
Soon after, the envoys of Wei told Rodney Bella about the idea of exchanging weapons for grain, cattle and sheep.
After Rodney Bella heard this, her eyes lit up obviously, and she seemed to be very moved, that was a weapon!
"Let me think about it, you can go back first. Rodney Bella said lightly.
"What do you think?" asked Rodney Bella, looking at Kirksson after the Wei envoys left.
"I'm afraid of deception, don't the Wei people know the importance of weapons?" Kirksson shook his head.
"I think it's true, Wei must have reached the end of the road, and there must be no food in the country, so I have to make this decision and exchange weapons for food. Rodney Bella said.
"Then you can do this, first prepare two carts of grain, and exchange him for a cart of weapons to come over to see if it's true. Kirksson suggested.
"Well, that's it!" Rodney Bella nodded.
……
Somewhere in Jiangzhou, Wei State, there is a mountain, because its shape resembles a sleeping immortal, so it is called the sleeping fairy mountain.
"Master Hu, is it really here?"
Outside the Sleeping Fairy Mountain today, a team of carriages came, and in the first carriage, two white-haired old men sat in the head.
"That's true, Lord Muslim. Hu Tianmi nodded.
Mu Qing frowned slightly, there are immortals in the Sleeping Immortal Mountain? He still doesn't believe it, if there are really immortals, how can no one find out for so many years?
"Master Hu, are you really sure? In this Sleeping Immortal Mountain, there are quite a few woodcutters who go up the mountain every day to cut wood, and the Sleeping Immortal Mountain has existed for hundreds of years, and there has been no trace of immortals so far, are there really immortals?" Mu Qing asked again.
"The immortals are not in the mountains. Hu Tianmi shook his head.
"That?" Mu Qing was puzzled again, how could there be immortals for a while, and then there would be no immortals?
"The immortals are at the bottom of the mountain. Hu Tianmi said.
"Huh, under the mountain?" Mu Qing was stunned for a moment.
"yes, so, dig it. Hu Tianmi nodded, and then closed his eyes.
Mu Qing frowned slightly, but he still got off the car slowly, ordered everyone in the carriage behind him to come down, took the tools he brought over, and began to dig the mountain.
"Master Hu, is there a specific location?" asked Mu Qing as he lifted the curtain.
"I can't calculate it, but it's already the limit to know that there is an immortal here. Hu Tianmi shook his head.
Mu Qing lowered the curtain and looked at the busy crowd, so he could only dig aimlessly.
Two days later, the soil layer three zhang down the front mountain was basically dug up by Mu Qing, and nothing was dug up.
After another two days, the soil layer three feet down the back mountain was also dug up, but there was still nothing.
In this way, we had to start digging up the mountain.
After four days of struggle, one of Mu Qing's subordinates shouted excitedly.
Mu Qing, who was sitting on the stone in a daze, immediately came to his senses, did he really dig out the immortals?
Mu Qing immediately ran over, like that, he didn't look like an old man of seventy or eighty years old at all.
"Got it?" asked Mu Qing.
"Look, Look! Something has been dug up! It's gold! There's probably a gold mine here!" said the man, holding a piece of golden ore in his hand.
"Keep digging somewhere else for me!" Mu Qing glared at the man.
"Ah, Lord Mu, don't you want this gold mine?" the man was stunned for a moment, and the joy on his face dissipated.
He thought he would be rewarded!
These people followed Mu Qing, but they didn't know what they were here for, and he thought that Mu Qing had brought them to find Jinshan Yinshan!
"Don't you understand me?" Mu Qing narrowed his eyes.
The man was so frightened that he immediately threw away the gold ore in his hand, and then went to dig somewhere else.
Four days later, in the afternoon of that day, another amazing discovery was made! One of them had dug up a silver mine!
On the tenth day, the iron ore was dug out!
Mu Qing was very surprised, a mountain actually gathered three kinds of resources: gold, iron and silver! This is really rare in the world!
"Master Hu, why haven't you dug up something yet?" Mu Qing couldn't help but get into the car and asked.
Since arriving here, Hu Tianmi has been sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, and he doesn't even eat much, as if he is in the valley.
"Didn't you dig up gold, silver, and iron mines? Hu Tian closed his eyes and said lightly.
Mu Qing thought thoughtfully, one mountain is pregnant with three mines, it is indeed very special, it proves that there must be a treasure at the bottom, I hope this trip is not in vain.
Another three days passed, and the entire Sleeping Fairy Mountain was almost hollowed out by them, and several carts of gold, silver, and iron ore were turned out, but they were all discarded aside.
Wealth is no longer what Mu Qing is pursuing, what he wants is something deeper!
Mu Qing must find the immortal and save his grandson!
Finally, the emperor paid off, and on the twentieth day, someone dug up something that looked like a crystal!
When I peeled back the soil, I found what seemed to be a corner of something!
Mu Qing was a little excited, and immediately asked people to clean up the other places.
About half an hour later, Mu Qing looked at the scene in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It seems to be a crystal coffin! And in the crystal coffin, there is nothing at all!
What about the immortals? Could it be that the immortals have already feathered into air?
