Butterfly Dream of Longevity Tribulation

At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, followed by two knocks on the door, "Ms. Meng, it's me! I wonder if it's convenient for you?" Hearing the voice, it was Wei Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Chenzhou.

Like Meng was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Come in! General Wei!"

Wei Xiang opened the door and came in, but saw a handsome and extraordinary man in green shirt next to Simeng. He was slightly surprised, and before he could speak, Simeng introduced with a smile: "Polite general, this is my senior brother Mu Zi Li! This time I went to Chenzhou with me just to withdraw from the business, and I went to the business camp to inquire first."

"Zili has met General Wei!" Mu Zili bowed his hands politely.

Wei Xiang heard that he had already been to the enemy camp, and saw that his breath was calm, and he thought he was a person who was hiding something, so he hurriedly returned the gift with a smile, "Brother Mu, you are welcome, both of you are people who are deeply trusted by the king. I still need to rely on the two of you a lot!"

After the three of them had been courteous for a while, Wei Xiang finally couldn't help asking: "I wonder what brother Mu found out in the business camp?"

In fact, although he knew that Su Linxi's army camped thirty miles away from the city, he had no way of knowing what was going on in the other army's camp. Although he sent a few shadow guards with excellent lightness skills to investigate, they never returned.

In addition, the enemy troops have been stationed in the outskirts of the city for three days, but they only ordered the vanguard to harass the city gates of Chenzhou every day. .

Therefore, he is also puzzled, not knowing what the merchant army intends to do.

I saw Mu Zili looked at him, and then said: "May I ask the general, how does Chenzhou City compare to Guizhou?"

Hearing this, both Simeng and Wei Xiang had a look of puzzlement on their faces, and then they only heard Wei Xiang say: "Guizhou is located at the junction of Yun and Shang, and has always been heavily guarded. Half a step. However, since the defeat of the late rulers in the Xia Kingdom ten years ago and the loss of the six counties in the Western Regions, the country’s treasury has long been empty, and its military strength has been weakening day by day. He often harassed the border of Guizhou, but it was always a small-scale conflict and did not really lead to a war. Now..." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, thinking of the death of his mentor Shangguan Liuyun, he only hated himself for committing a crime that day. Military law, otherwise, if he was by his side, Su Linxi would never be able to take advantage of it.

Both Mu Zili and Si Meng knew about his relationship with Shangguan Liuyun, so they understood his mood at the moment, and Li Meng wanted to comfort him, but they heard him continue: "Chenzhou is just a small commercial city in the lower reaches of Ruoshui. It is big, but gathers the best skilled craftsmen in Yunguo, and also sells the high-quality copper and iron mines that Yunguo abounds in, and there are several official merchants in the city who specialize in making weapons for our Yunjiao team..."

"Wait!" Mu Zili suddenly interrupted Wei Xiang, "According to what the general said, is it possible that most of the iron ore and copper mine transactions in Yunguo are in Chenzhou? Then Chenzhou is where the minerals are located?"

When he asked, it was like a dream, but Wei Xiang's face changed suddenly, and he said after a while: "As Brother Mu said, Chenzhou is the largest copper mine in Yunguo, and a small number of iron mines come from Chenzhou. I don't know what exactly Brother Mu found out in the Shang army camp?" He was eager to know about Mu Zili's investigation, but he hoped that his worries just now were unnecessary.

It was only when Simeng heard this that he suddenly realized that on the way back to Xuanyang from Bingzhou, he heard Luocheng mention that in the unequal alliance letter, it was written that if Luocheng ascended the throne as the king, he had to open the door of convenience, Xu Shangguo Enjoy the high-quality copper mine produced by their cloud country for free forever...

Obviously, Bai Lirong didn't believe that Sima Luo City could be successfully restored and enthroned, so he ordered Su Linxi to lead the troops northward, in order to get what she wanted as soon as possible.
