    Everyone gathered in a circle. The old mine manager, the second son, and the actor were all there, but Su Mingcheng was missing.

    Su Mingcheng¡¯s identity is a bit special and has no actual relationship with this mine. Moreover, the news this time was sent by Zhongyi Hall. As a member of Shingle Hall, he is indeed not suitable to attend.

    Another reason is that Su Duo mainly accompanies the two military advisors. There are too many secrets here. Whether it is the things in the greenhouse or the Lingyan Stone Cave, it is not suitable for outsiders to know.

    "What do you think?" Xie Xiaoyu would not speak first as usual. He wanted to listen to other people's thoughts first.

    Unlike usual, this time everyone looked at each other and no one was speechless.

    "Miner, you are the oldest, you come first." Xie Xiaoyu could only name him.

    The old man¡¯s mouth moved twice, as if he was about to speak, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence.

    "Otherwise, this mine will be thrown away for nothing. Human life is more important than money." The old mine manager felt sorry for the four million taels of silver, but when he thought about the greenhouse, he felt that the silver was nothing.

    "I'm afraid this can't be done. Do you still remember the person selling the mine you met at the Mining Association? I suspect that this person got the news in advance, so he sold the mine and ran away early. Since the government and the Mining Association have formulated this  According to the rules, I must have thought that someone would abandon the mine and take precautions." Although Xie Xiaoyu didn't ask about the specific situation, he could guess a bit.

    "If it doesn't work out, maybe you can consider joining Zhongyi Hall." Erzi suggested from the side.

    Anyone with a little experience can guess that the two military advisors from Zhongyi Hall came here specially, and they definitely didn¡¯t just come to report the news.

    At a lobby like Zhongyi Hall, it is too easy to find a few people to support the mine.

    The second son kept winking at the uncle, thinking that the uncle, a member of the Loyalty Hall, would help to persuade him.

    The uncle was completely indifferent. He knew Xie Xiaoyu¡¯s views on Zhongyi Hall better than anyone else. If he really had to take refuge, Xie Xiaoyu would only go to Xinle Hall.

    "Brother, what are you going to do? I don't care what others decide? I will definitely follow you." The uncle said very simply with his arms folded.

    "We are the same. Wherever you go, we will go too." Li Jinbao was the leader of the gang, so he spoke while the other boys nodded.

    "The three major dangers in Tianbao Prefecture - miasma, monsters, and barbarians. I have seen the first two. The miasma has been solved and is no longer a threat. I have seen a lot of monsters and killed a lot of them.  Now there are only Tubarians left, and I am planning to find a chance to see them."

    Xie Xiaoyu pretended to be confident. He knew very well that if he didn't have confidence, others would definitely have even less confidence.

    "Are you going to respond to the call?" Erzi was shocked.

    "I have already asked. The strongest people among the Tuman are only at the level of the True Lord. Their number is still very small, less than ten. I have not seen any trace of these people in all the Tuman sieges.  , the most we can see are barbarian kings who are on the same level as real people. There are many real people in government offices and mining clubs, so we are not at a disadvantage in this regard." Xie Xiaoyu can only encourage others.

    "But those three cities were still captured, and everyone was killed." Erzi said with lingering fear.

    "Those are civilians. Are the monks responsible for the defense also dead?" Xie Xiaoyu asked, knowing that it would be impossible for him to answer.

    Sure enough, Erzi shook his head. In the past, he and the monk belonged to two different worlds, and it was difficult to even see a monk.

    "As long as we are fully prepared, even if we can't fight, we can always protect ourselves. If we can't withstand it, we will escape." Xie Xiaoyu still said on the bright side.

    Secretly, he knew it.

    Fighting is not as easy as he said.

    When a team of ten thousand people release magical weapons at the same time, even the true king has to avoid their sharp edges. The true king and his like will definitely be beaten to pieces, not to mention that there are other means available in the war, such as war beasts and formations.  Therefore, it is impossible to accurately compare only the number of people on both sides and the number of experts on both sides.

    Escape is not that simple. Since the opponent dares to attack the city, they must have an advantage in numbers and are scattered around.  If they wanted to escape, they would have to hide from countless pairs of eyes in the open and dark, and also escape possible pursuit. The Tuman must be much more familiar with this land than they are.

    What¡¯s more troublesome is that the danger not only comes from the front, but also from behind.  Since the Liu family in Anyang can bribe the government and mining clubs, they can also bribe the generals who command the war.

    "If we fight, let's fight. We will follow you." Li Jinbao said loudly.

      The boys were each more excited than the last. They didn¡¯t think the battlefield was dangerous at all. Instead, they thought it was a place for men to make contributions.

    "Tell me, what preparations are needed?" The uncle also made up his mind. He was a person who had actually been on the battlefield and fought against barbarians. He was actually the calmest among the group.

    Xie Xiaoyu did not answer immediately, but first asked: "When will this battle start?"

    "At least until autumn." Erzi said quickly.

    "The barbarians live a life of slash-and-burn farming. They don't grow enough, and they have to hunt to get enough food, so they have to wait until the autumn harvest before taking action. Anyway, there are few prey in winter. People will die if they fight, and they will die if they don't fight.  Starve to death,¡± the uncle added.

    Hearing this, Xie Xiaoyu immediately understood that this battle was not easy to fight, and all the barbarians might lose their lives.

    "There are still several months, and there is enough time." He pretended to be relaxed and said: "Next, I will teach you some things, mainly escape methods. You can escape if you can't beat them. I will also make some medicines.  Come out. If you are lucky, your cultivation level will be improved by another level, which will increase your chance of survival. I will also take you into the valley to familiarize you with how to fight. In addition, there are many things that need to be done.  Here, each of you must have at least two sets of battle clothes and two magic weapons."

    As he spoke, Xie Xiaoyu¡¯s mind became clearer.

    He turned to the old miner and said: "Uncle He, please go to Linhai City to confirm the dispatch of troops. If possible, make the matter bigger and let everyone know that the Anyang Liu family is bullying others and forcing the superiors to give an explanation.  , Either we will be removed from the list, or we will be exempted from this year¡¯s payment quota.¡±

    "This is necessary." The old mine manager said confidently, even if Xie Xiaoyu didn't mention it, he was going to make a scene.

    "Then let's ask for some benefits. How many storage bags are needed? At least one for each person here, and two large storage bags used by the army."

    He turned his head and said to the second son and the actor: "You two should work hard. Next, I plan to expand the greenhouse a little more. When Uncle He goes to the city, he will bring back a few baskets of eggs. We will raise more chickens before autumn.  After returning to the battlefield, we only eat our own food, and I don¡¯t want anyone to tamper with what we eat.¡±

    "Don't worry, brother." Erzi responded. He knew that he couldn't help with anything else, so it was good to be able to contribute.

    "The two aunts and Sister Xi'er also have things to do. I need your help with weaving and tailoring." Xie Xiaoyu said to the three women again.

    In the end, he turned back, and the uncle¡¯s side was the real key.

    "I'll give you a list. You go talk to the two people at Zhongyi Hall. Next, I need to refine the medicine and need a lot of medicinal materials. Ask them if they are willing to do this deal? The medicine will be divided 50-50.  "

    The uncle asked curiously: "Why don't you ask yourself? This way you won't suffer a loss."

    Before Xie Xiaoyu could answer, the old mine manager smiled and said: "This is the trick of doing business. As long as Captain Su is here, you can also get the medicinal materials from Xinle Hall. It's up to you to negotiate. That's for Zhongyi Hall."  To save face, give them a chance to do business based on our previous friendship. If the younger brother comes forward, it will become a favor we owe each other. "

    The uncle agreed.
