There are a few pools of dark red soil on the ground, as well as some broken branches and fallen leaves, proving that there have been battles here. But the fight ended quickly. Several long drag marks showed the fate of the group.
"It's a pity that their storage bags must have good things in them." Xie Xiaoyu sighed while picking up the fallen weapons on the ground.
"Anyway, you know where the nest is. Just go there again after a while." Su Mingcheng said from the side.
Xie Xiaoyu didn't respond at all, he just talked. The storage bag is the easiest to make a secret mark. The storage bag in his hand belongs to the killer of the Black Thorn Society. As a captured item, he can use it with confidence. But the storage bags of those few people are different.
He didn¡¯t even dare to pick up the weapons on the ground. The only thing that made him hesitate was the fan.
"This magical weapon is very good." Su Mingcheng said with great regret.
There was only a click sound, and Xie Xiaoyu broke the fan. This thing was a trouble, so it would be safer to destroy it.
"Let's go and see what these guys are doing?" Xie Xiaoyu noticed a rut on the ground.
A storage bag can hold a lot of things. Even if one storage bag is not enough, just bring a few more. Why do you need a car?
He walked down the rut for more than a mile, and finally saw a wheelbarrow parked there with two large bags on it.
"It seems you are in quite a lot of trouble." Su Mingcheng is a native here, and he understood what was going on when he saw the bag.
Xie Xiaoyu walked over, opened the bag and took a look inside.
Inside are neatly stacked metal ingots. Red fire copper, purple copper, pearlescent copper, and blood-patterned copper are all produced from the mine.
"What's going on? Aren't there restrictions around the mining area?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.
"Didn't you guess it yourself? The power behind this group of people is huge. I'm afraid they even have spaceships. As for the restriction in the mining area just turn it off." Su Mingcheng replied expressionlessly.
"The mines in Tianbao Prefecture are shared by the government and various sects. When we first formulated the rules, we considered that some people might engage in malpractice for personal gain, or that everyone would restrain each other. No matter how powerful the forces behind those people are, they would not be able to control all sects. Let's settle it?" The more Xie Xiaoyu thought about it, the more impossible it became.
"This is indeed the case for large mines and new mines, and everyone is watching them. But it is different for small mines and old mines. There are no mines in this old mining area, and they are of little value. They are just used as some kind of exchange." Su Mingcheng knows all about it.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Out of the blue, the owner of the stolen goods never dared to investigate the matter, but he didn't expect it to be some kind of private transaction. Xie Xiaoyu was a little discouraged.
"It's impossible to take them all away. Let's take a few pieces and go." Captain Su is worthy of being a member of the gang, and he knows how to take advantage of others.
He smashed the wheelbarrow with one palm, and then tore open the big bag.
This is not an ordinary bag, but a large storage bag used in the army. It can hold a warehouse's contents, so as soon as it was torn, the metal ingots inside immediately poured out, and in the blink of an eye, a small mountain was piled up. .
Xie Xiaoyu also understood clearly from the sidelines. He held another bag and threw it around, making it look like the bag was being dragged and tossed around by wild beasts. In this way, if a few metal ingots are lost, no one will suspect it.
Seeing that the bag was about to be empty, he closed the mouth of the bag, and what was left was enough for him to spend.
This bag is also a treasure. You don¡¯t have to worry about markings on military items. The other party used military items and did such a shady thing. Only an idiot would put a mark on it. That is tantamount to creating an excuse. Someone else will catch you.
Over there, Captain Su is also stuffing metal ingots into his storage bag. Who would think that the extra money is too much?
¡¡
In a long and narrow valley, parked is a thin and long flying ship shaped like a cucumber.
It can be seen from the slender appearance that this ship is much faster than the ships flying around in Tianbao Prefecture. There are huge fan wheels shaped like windmills at the front and rear ends of the ship.
Sixteen arm-thick hemp ropes hung from the flying ship, and these hemp ropes were tightly tied to the protruding rocks around the valley.
In the spaceship, a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a white robe with broken silver patterns, a golden crown with hair tied on his head, and a jade-encrusted belt around his waist, was walking back and forth angrily.
The cabin of this spaceship is not small, but because it is slender and long, it feels a bit depressing. This young man lost his temper there, and everyone around him felt like there was a dark cloud covering his head, and there was a rumbling feeling.
¡°What time is it now?¡±The young master shouted at a maid standing far away.
"It's past noon." The maid didn't dare not answer.
"Where did those guys die? Why haven't they come yet?" Young Master looked out the window.
It was still quiet outside the window. Except for the mountains and trees, there was no sign of anyone at all.
"Last time, Mr. Qi said that they encountered a shadow wolf on the way. Will they encounter any monsters this time?" A white-faced and beardless old slave reminded beside him.
"Even if they encounter a monster, they should send a signal. Didn't they send a signal last time?" Young Master asked, pointing out the window.
The sky outside the window was clear, and the purple smoke that alerted the police could not be seen at all.
He could not have known that what his men encountered this time was a soil spider. More than a dozen earth spiders emerged directly from under their feet, and then a piece of spider web sprayed up, entangled people so hard that they couldn't move. Except for a few people who struggled twice, Mr. Qi used a magic weapon to resist for a while. , everyone else was subdued instantly and there was no time to send any signal.
"No, it doesn't feel right at all. Either someone is behind it, or Qi Lianyun had some idea and ran away with his things." The young master had been suspicious for a long time. He just didn't have an attack just now. Now he couldn't wait any longer and said directly. come out.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people around him changed drastically.
The people on the boat are divided into two categories. One category has stayed in Tianbao Prefecture all year round and is familiar with the dangers here. They also know Mr. Qi¡¯s character. They are all sure that Mr. Qi cannot do such bold and rebellious things. Now that no one has arrived, There is a high probability that the situation is very bad, so the Young Master's words chilled their hearts. The other type of people came here with the young master. Although they didn't know what happened, they also understood that they shouldn't say such things at this time.
"Let someone search along the road first?" The old slave could only say this. He did not dare to speak for the man named Qi, and he did not want the young master to continue to talk nonsense and offend everyone even more.
He also knew that this request was also excessive. If Qi really encountered a powerful monster and didn't even have time to send a signal, then the people sent out to search might also run into the monster.
The old slave had no choice but to give this order, and those who were stationed in Tianbao Prefecture had to obey the order. They knew the dangers best, and they searched forward unwillingly one by one. The speed was not much faster than a snail.
Time passed little by little.
In the evening, someone finally came back to report.
"So unlucky? Did you really encounter a monster?" The young man was still full of doubts.
He still had doubts because no one saw the body, only a few pools of blood. And there were obviously fewer spindles brought back.
"Could Qi Lianyun pretend to be dead and take some of the spindles and run away?" The young master asked the old slave beside him as if no one else was around, not even caring about how ugly the face of the man who came back to report was.
"Lao Qi's income is higher than that of a prefect. Besides, does a person like him care about money? Can the things given to him by the palace be bought outside?" The old slave inadvertently pointed out several impossible places.
"The young master is a fool, but the master is not stupid. To handle such an important matter, you must choose a calm person. He is usually well-fed. The one with the surname Qi can only make some easy money, and it is absolutely impossible to play such a big game."
"Why don't you go to the governor's office and the mining office, and simply remove the mine and replace it with our people. In this way, you can investigate however you want, and you won't have to transport things secretly in the future. "The old slave simply came up with an idea and asked the young master to put his mind elsewhere.
He also knew that this was a bad idea. Trading the mine that was about to be mined was a private trick for everyone, and they had to avoid suspicion on the surface. If you just remove the mine head and replace it with your own people, you will definitely be criticized, and some people will inevitably say that the Liu family looks ugly. Moreover, it is taboo to replace the mine head without any reason. If the mine head was not old, the backers behind him were gone, and the mine was about to be abandoned, he would never dare to make this suggestion.
"But he is more afraid that the young master will cause other troubles. This gentleman is really careless and has no other skills. He is absolutely first-class in causing trouble.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." The young master agreed.
