"Lord Zhao, Lie has something important to report."

Su Lie said to Supervisor Zhao with a smiling face.

"Go ahead."

Supervisor Zhao didn't even look him in the eye.

Su Lie sneakily looked at Supervisor Zhao's subordinates around him, and whispered into Supervisor Zhao's ear, "Jade City has surrendered, and my people found a very precious ore there, worth ten times as much as beautiful jade." times, and Yucheng has agreed to give the mining area to Datang for free."

"Really?"

As soon as Zhao Jianjun heard that there was something valuable, he immediately became interested.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Su Lie.

"Of course it's true, how dare I deceive you."

"I originally thought about reporting this matter to the imperial court, but then I thought, how could we have gotten such good news without your order from Superintendent Zhao?"

"So I didn't report it, I only told you."

Su Lie said flatteringly, he looked like a dog leg.

"Yes, you did a good job, you really should notify me first."

"Wait for me to check it out. If the news is true, it won't be too late to report it to the Queen."

Zhao Junjun narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, followed by a smug smile, and suddenly he looked at Su Lie with a little appreciation: "General Su Lie, I just discovered today that you are so smart. If I show it a little bit, I won't worry much."

"It's my fault, it's my stupidity, I didn't realize the good intentions of adults earlier."

"My lord, please rest assured, from now on, I, Su Lie, will be your pawn, and I will follow your lead in all actions."

Su Lie slapped himself twice as if he blamed himself.

"Hehe, this is the best."

"When I go back, I will say a few good words for you in front of the empress. Maybe the empress will transfer you to Chang'an as soon as she is happy."

Supervisor Zhao said with a smile.

From his point of view, Su Lie's behavior was to curry favor.

All they want is money and power.

However, he didn't know that it was because Su Lie couldn't bear the filthy officialdom that he asked to be transferred to the Frontier Protectorate.

"Really, thank you sir."

Su Lie's eyes lit up, and he pretended to be very excited: "My lord, I'll take you to the Yucheng mining area right now!"

"Okay, let's go now."

Supervisor Zhao nodded vigorously and followed Su Lie out.

Behind him, several personal guards followed closely.

Su Lie walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, and whispered in Supervisor Zhao's ear: "My lord, there are too many people with miscellaneous eyes to avoid leaking the news. It's better not to take these people with you."

Zhao Jianjun heard the words, frowned and looked at the guards, nodded and said: "You are right."

Then he ordered several guards: "General Su Lie and I have important things to do, you guys should stop following."

"Yes, my lord."

Several guards said in unison.

"What are you still doing in a daze, let's go."

Superintendent Zhao urged Su Lie to say that he couldn't wait to go to Yucheng to see the treasure that was more valuable than jade.

"My lord, please follow me."

The corners of Su Lie's mouth curled up without showing any trace, and the cold light in his eyes flashed away.

. . .

"Is this Yucheng? This is the first time for the supervisor to come here."

Under the leadership of Su Lie, Supervisor Zhao came to Yucheng.

At the first glance, I saw that the tower was full of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty.

"Su Lie didn't lie to me, Yucheng has indeed been captured."

"It can be occupied by only 5000 people, and this Yucheng is not as powerful as the rumors say."

Zhao Jianjun sneered in his heart, and the last bit of worry completely disappeared at this moment.

The gate of the city was wide open, and Jiang Ming, Pei Qinhu, and Sheng came out to greet him.

"Master Zhao!"

The three shouted in unison.

"who are you?"

Supervisor Zhao looked at Sheng suspiciously.

He naturally recognized Pei Qinhu. Although Jiang Ming hadn't seen it before, he knew it was Datang's army just by looking at the armor on his body.

Only the other man did not know.

"My lord, this is Yucheng's guard, General Sheng, who has joined our Tang Dynasty now."

Jiang Ming replied for Sheng.

"Oh, it turned out to be Yucheng's lost dog."

Superintendent Zhao said with a sneer, his tone was extremely awkward.

In terms of strength, he is not as good as Sheng.

But relying on Su Lie as a powerful subordinate, Supervisor Zhao unscrupulously mocked Sheng.

Sheng gritted his teeth secretly, but didn't make a sound.

It's just a dying person, there's no need to be angry with him.

"My lord, let's go to the mining area first."

Jiang Ming said.

"Okay, let's lead the way."

Supervisor Zhao raised his chin and looked at Jiang Ming and the others with an air of aloofness.

"Sir, please."

Jiang Ming said with a smile, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

As the saying goes, if the sky wants to make him die, he must first make him crazy.

This Superintendent Zhao is just too crazy, but whenever he pays attention to notice that Pei Qinhu is already at the gold level.

He wouldn't be led to death step by step by Jiang Ming and others without even noticing it.

On the outskirts of Yucheng, the Blackstone mining area.

When the Black Stone was discovered, it became the hottest place in Yucheng overnight.

Countless businessmen and officials have come here to contract mines and hire the people of Yucheng to dig mines for them.

But later, tens of thousands of demon species suddenly invaded.

Such a huge group of demon species, even the Yucheng army couldn't handle it, the king had to order the mine to be closed.

No matter how crazy those businessmen were, they didn't dare to risk their lives, and they all evacuated the mining area.

Since then, this mining area has become the territory of the demon species and the forbidden area of ​​human beings.

According to Sheng's description, the monsters in the mining area would hide in the cave to rest at noon.

Jiang Ming took advantage of this moment to bring Supervisor Zhao into the mine.

The mine has been left unattended for a long time, dark and damp, almost impenetrable to light.

There was an inexplicably strange smell in the air, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark.

"Is there really a baby here? Why do I feel eerie?"

Supervisor Zhao shivered, and looked at Jiang Ming suspiciously.

Jiang Ming looked around.

Under the observation of the Eye of Tranquility, he was able to clearly see the sleeping demons in the darkness.

It's not deep enough here, in case the demon suddenly wakes up, Supervisor Zhao is likely to run out.

You have to lure him to go deeper.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ming bent down and picked up a small black stone from the ground.

"Look, my lord, this is the black stone, a treasure that is more valuable than jade!"

"Show me now!"

Superintendent Zhao couldn't wait to snatch the black stone from Jiang Ming's hand and hold it in front of his eyes to size it up.

"A good thing, it really is a good thing."

Supervisor Zhao said in admiration, his eyeballs straightened.

Although he couldn't feel the dark power of the ancient evil god contained in the black stone, the color of this stone was crystal clear, and it felt round to the touch, more comfortable than jade.

It looks like a rare thing at first glance, and it will definitely sell for a good price if you take it to Chang'an.

"How many other stones are there?"

Zhao Jianjun asked.

"It's all in front."

Jiang Ming coaxed and said.

"Okay, okay!"

Zhao Jianjun spoke forcefully, with a greedy green light in his eyes.
