After a short while, Wangxian dispatched Wangxian to see Deng Guan of the Xigle Mountain Mine. Xuanxuan received Wang Xianxuan's admonition and naturally told the other party that he was from Zhennan Wangfu. Although Deng Guanjue was in doubt, he immediately rushed.

It's been an hour and a half ...

That Deng Guanshi was a man in his forties, a brown robe, short and lean, with a savvy mustache on his face.

He was taken outside the house and waited, secretly looking into the house, looking at the Nangong Yu inside. Just now when he arrived at the post, he heard Wang Xianyu downstairs. The second son of Xiao Er came here intentionally. It is not easy to buy iron ore in the army ...

Nangong Yan just used dim sum, was receiving the tea from Bai Hui, rinsed his mouth, and said casually, "Call someone in."

Wang Xianzhang brought Deng Guanshi into the house. After saluting, he said respectfully: "Son, this is Deng Guanshi of Fangjia Mine."

Nan Gongxi responded casually, his gaze turned to Deng Guanshi, and he looked up and down, as if he had noticed his existence, and said, "I heard that you are in charge of the mine on Siegler Mountain?"

"Yes, the second son." Deng Guanshi took a step forward, and deliberately called the other party the second son. "Little Master Wang said that the son wanted to purchase iron ore for the Southern Xinjiang Army. Military affairs naturally mattered, but ..."

When he heard the word "just", the faint smile on the corner of Nangong's mouth disappeared, his face turned like a book, and the whole face gloomed. She put away the fan sharply, and "snapped" loudly and crisply in the room.

"My son is a munitions purchase, would you dare to refuse ?!" Nangong yelled with a loud voice and retorted. "My son has long heard that merchants are greedy for profits. Some mines suspect that the price of military supplies is not high, so they use various excuses Sophistry! "She said with a fan, pointing at the other side's nose." Don't you think that your son dare not punish you for neglecting military affairs! "

Seeing Shi Zifei's sister-in-law acting lively, Lily's heart was laughing so much that her stomach was hurting. This time, she really didn't follow Shi Zifei for a trip. It was so fun!

But she was still calm and even looked at Deng Guan with a disdainful look. The expression of that high toe seemed to be saying, You dare to crook in front of our son!

Seeing that the young man did not deny his identity, and that the people served by the house were also a matter of course, Deng Guanshi could finally be convinced that this really is Xiao Luan, Xiao Luan, that's not easy!

If the other party has to make things bigger, it will be very bad for yourself.

I still have to coax this Buddha back quickly!

"Second son, even if the little one ate the bear heart leopard, did you dare not neglect the military affairs and neglect the second son ?!" Deng Guanshi bowed his head and explained with a grin, "The small meaning is because the mine just two days ago Send out a batch of iron ore, and the remaining iron ore that has been mined is not much. The small one wants to ask how much ore the second son needs? The small one should go back and let the miners rush to work ... "

He thought this answer would satisfy the other person, but didn't want the troublesome brother to frown displeasingly: "This boy asked you one question, why do you have so many questions ?! You think you will buy things without seeing them Have a look? Haven't seen it for yourself, how did the boy know the quality of the ore in your mine! Who knows if you intend to confuse the boy with inferior ore ?! "

"My son, why is that ?!" Deng Guanshi frowned, lamenting that his elder brother was really hard to serve. If he provided inferior iron ore to the South Xinjiang Army, even if he had won the second son of Xiao, he would still be able to lie to those masters ... how could he do such a stupid thing!

Deng Guanshi was trying to explain something, but after hearing that the son-in-law unexpectedly came up with another idea: "No, my son-in-law has to go to the mine to see the goods in person! It ’s better to hit the sun than another day, and you will take my son to mine now Take a look! "

This is not working! Deng Guanshi listened to his heartbeat and hurriedly said, "The second son can't make it! The mine is too dangerous, and there are often falling rocks, and even the mine is in danger of collapsing. This is not a small nonsense." After a pause, he carefully looked at the other person's face and proposed, "Second son, it's better to do this, younger, first bring a batch of ore to you for inspection, what do you think?"

Anyway, Xiao Ying has successfully sneaked into the mine, and Nangong Yuan didn't have to go there by himself, but he wanted to lie to him. It seems that he is very reluctant to go by himself ... Nangong Yan frowned deliberately and nodded: "That boy is waiting for you to bring a sample to see first."

Deng Guan finally let out a sigh of relief, his back sweating, but he kept busy: "Of course, of course!" Then he turned sharply and flattered, "... second son, you came from afar, but our town is a pity. It's remote, there's no good place to eat, but you're wronged. But the little ones there recently won a box of Nanzhu, each with the size of a baby's fist. It's good to make jewelry or just play around ... "

Nangong Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of interest, and asked, "What kind of mountain and wild land do you have, and what kind of pearl?"

Seeing the other party's interest, Deng Guanshi accompanied and laughed and said, "It is also good. The last time I met a Nanyang caravan, I was fortunate to get it. When the younger goes back, I will send it to the son. Let the son. Your tasting and tasting ... "He winked at Nangong. The so-called tasting naturally offered treasure.

Nangong shook her fan and laughed. For a while, the atmosphere in the room was relaxed a lot, and the tense atmosphere seemed to have never existed before.

For a long time, Deng Guanshi's heart finally halted, but fortunately, although Xiao Er's son is troublesome, he should be just an elder brother who knows nothing about the world.

Mr. Deng left in a hurry. In the evening of the day, he was ordered to send a box of pearly pearls to Nan Gongyu. Lily accepted it for his owner.

And that same night, someone came back.

Because things weren't urgent, Bai Hui didn't bother the master to rest after getting a word from Zhou Dacheng, and he cried out until the early morning of the next day: "Sir concubine, a car full of iron ore came at midnight yesterday. The carriage, the carriage hastily entered the mine ... "

The 100 elite soldiers they accompanied were all stationed outside the city. Yesterday, Nangong Yu asked Zhou Dacheng to order a few people to stare at the Siegley Mountain and the surrounding area of ​​the town.

Sure enough, there is gain!

Lily was waiting for Nangong to comb her hair, heard the words, her movements could not help but paused, and said with a crooked head, wondering, "Why did Deng steward adjust the iron ore from outside?"

Nangong put out a smile on the corner of his mouth, even if it was really like Deng Guanshi said that the ore had been removed, but she only looked at the sample. Such a large mine, I could n’t come up with something to see temporarily. A sample?

Unless, this mine is not iron at all! But something else ...

This time, she just wanted to explore the situation. After all, it was more than ten years ago. I do n’t know how to do it in just three or two days, but now, it seems that nothing should be achieved.

When Nangong ran out of breakfast, Mr. Deng came to see him and brought a carriage of iron ore.

Nan Gongwen heard the news and brought Zhou Dacheng and others down to check in person.

It was a cart of yellow and gray stones, large and small stones piled up, and at first glance it seemed no different from ordinary stones.

Nangong frowned, fanned his face in disgust, and then lost a wink at Zhou Dacheng.

Zhou Dacheng came to check the condition of the ore. He picked up a few pieces of iron ore and weighed it. After trying it with a magnet, he returned to Nangong and said, "My son, is a good iron ore."

Nangong Nod nodded in satisfaction, and when the fan was closed, she immediately cut off: "Okay, the batch of military orders will be placed in your mine, old Zhou," she looked at Zhou Dacheng casually and asked, "Old Zhou How much iron ore do we want this time? "

Zhou Dacheng revered respectfully: "Return to the son, this batch is two hundred stones."

Seeing the second son Xiao Er coming out to purchase munitions, he couldn't even figure out how much iron ore was needed for this trip. It can be imagined how rough it was to do things for others. ? !! Thirty pounds are for Jun, and four pounds are for Stone. That ’s 24,000 pounds of ore! Where did so much iron ore make him go for a while? !!

However, after two rounds of dealings, Deng Guanshi felt the temper of the second son of Xiao Er slightly. The other party was the second son of Wangfu. It is estimated that no one except the king of the south of the city and the grandfather dare to say no to him. If you want to send this Buddha away, you can't oppose him ...

Sending people off earlier could have made it earlier!

Deng Guanshi bit his back molars and said, "Second son, so many iron mines are too small for a while and a half. It ’s better to ask the second son for a few days' grace, and the little one should prepare immediately. Well, I will send you to Luo Yuecheng in person. What do you like? "

Deng Guanshi said, carefully watching the look of Nangong Yan.

Sure enough, the other party was still dissatisfied, and put away the fan and said, "No! Deng Guanshi, my son will give you five days. After five days, my son will bring the two hundred stone iron ore back in person." There was a hint of eagerness, and then squinting at Mr. Deng, there was a dangerous smell in his tone. "If you humiliate your son, don't blame him ... hum!"

Deng Guanshi's face was right. He heard that Xiao Shizi was taking a great victory in the south. I am afraid that Xiao Erxiao is anxious. He also wants to earn a face in front of Wang Ye and make a military achievement. That's why I personally came to purchase this iron ore ... Hey, I can only blame myself for being unlucky, and it has attracted such a **** of plague!

No matter how much dissatisfaction in the heart, but Deng steward did not dare to show half his point, after bowing and saluting, he hurried back.

After leaving the post, Mr. Deng turned on his horse and took two men out of the town straight out of the town, then rushed back to the mine in Sigle Mountain all the way. At the foot of the mountain, the gatekeeper opened the iron gate when he saw Deng returned.

A man of medium height had already waited behind the door, greeted him, and saluted with some nervousness: "Deng Guanshi ..." He wanted to ask whether Deng Guanshi went well, but by looking at Deng Guanshi's face, he knew this. I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome.

After Deng Guanshi got off the horse, he threw the horse rope to a subordinate, facing a sinking water, striding up the mountain road, and asked, "Lao Song, how about the output in these days?"

The man, known as Lao Song, hurried to follow up and replied: "Secretary Deng, this month you can basically mine an average of twenty stones a day."

"Only twenty ?!" Deng Guanshi Mei Yu locked up. "Compared with last month, production has dropped again!"

Lao Song hesitated for a moment, or lowered his voice and asked, "Deng Guanshi, you said, this mine has been mined for more than ten years, will it be almost finished?"

Deng Guanshi's face became even more ugly, and it took a while before he said, "That Xiao Ergong needs a total of two hundred stone iron ore. You must find a way to hurry up! How much can you make up first!" In case that uneasy Xiao After the second son asked, he could delay for a while.

Two hundred stone iron ore? !! Lao Song took a breath, where they went to make two hundred stone iron ore out of nothing! But this second son Xiao Er couldn't kill, couldn't force it ... except to cooperate, there was no other choice at all!

"Yes, Mr. Deng." Lao Song held his fist and then turned to go down the mountain again.

Governor Deng continued to follow the winding mountain road, and his heart was extremely distressed: His Royal Highness is now far from Wangdu. Where should the people on their side go to gather these two hundred stone iron ore? !!

Give up here? ... No, this is a treasure trove! Besides, they cannot retreat easily without the order of the great prince.

After walking dozens of feet without expression, Deng Guanshi stopped suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he froze.

correct! There are six princes, he can send someone to ask for help!

After the pseudo-king ascended the throne, although the six princes have been under house arrest in the prince's palace, the strategy of the six princes will certainly not sit still.

As for here ...

Deng Guanshi raised his eyes and looked forward. At the huge mine, busy miners came and went. From time to time, there were miners pushing out unicycles full of ore from the mine. There were beats and hammers in the mine one after another. sound……

Not far away, seven or eight young men dressed in grey and rough cloths stood in a row in a daunting manner. In front of them was a tall, strong man, with his head raised and his **** spoke in a frothy manner.

One of the men behind Deng Guanshi followed Deng Guanshi's eyes and said, "Deng Guanshi, this batch is new. Lord Tiger is teaching them rules."

Deng Guanshi narrowed his eyes and said, "Go and tell Ahu, there are more people to mine here!" This mine is so abundant that he doesn't believe it is really exhausted, and he continues to dig deeper, there must be mine!

After speaking, Mr. Deng strode to the direction of the study, and the man hurriedly ran towards the Tiger Lord with his back to him, who was still screaming at the new miner:

"Everyone listened clearly to Uncle Ben. Every day, the chickens started to sing, and they closed at the hour."

"Every morning after waking up, and when there is still time, each has a time to eat."

"Everyone has to mine at least five ore per day, otherwise there will be no dinner!"

"If there are less than three ore mined, draw ten whip!"

"If anyone wants to escape, all sticks ..."

"..."

The Tiger Lord said more and more excited. When he said that, afterwards, he rolled up his sleeves and saw that the muscles on his arm were bulging and strong.

Xiao Ying, who was standing at the far right of a row of miners, left his sight unnoticed after Deng Guan left, and picked his mouth with interest.

It's fun, it's really fun!

At least five Jun per person per day! The mine mines an average of twenty stones a day, and there are six hundred stones a month, but the steward believes that the mine's output is not enough, and the headache for the two hundred stone iron ore seems to be falling soon ...

This mine and the people here are really interesting.

Xiao Ying's eyes flashed and he had an idea in his heart.

Now just wait for the dark ...

The night came slowly in Xiao Ying's eager anticipation. The miners were busy until the hour before they closed. For a moment, the entire mine fell into silence. There was no more snoring of mining ore, no sound of unicycle rolling, no The miners were wailing and sighing tiredly ... Only the tired snoring of those sleepy miners.

On the icy and dirty ground, there were simply raged straw mats, and the miners were all sleeping on the mat, covered with a piece of gray linen, and they didn't seem to be much better than beggars on the roadside.

In a thunderous thunder, Xiao Ying, who had closed his eyes and opened his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. The black eyes like obsidian were shining in the dark room without any light.

I was sure that everyone in the room slept like a dead pig. Xiao Ying jumped up agilely, then walked behind the door like a ghost, and through the crack of the door, you can see a guard outside the door yawning lazily. People like this are just a piece of cake for Xiao Ying.

He didn't know where to find a blow arrow, and blew it against the door slit, a silver needle shot out between the door slits, the silver light flashed, pierced the neck of the guard, and the other side was lazy. Fell down ...

The medicine on this silver needle was enough for him to sleep until dawn.

Xiao Ying's face showed a thief smile on his face, quickly opened the door, and walked out, of course, remember to take away the silver needle on the neck of the guard.

Although it's been more than a day since he came here, Xiao Ying has already touched the layout of the mine's periphery seven or eighty-eighth, only the mine here, he has never had a chance to go in. These novices must first follow the Tiger Lord to learn the rules for a few days, do some sweeping, labor, or something.

Since the other party did not give the opportunity, Xiao Ying had to come over by himself.

The mines at night were completely extinguished. Only the bright moon in the sky cast a silver light to barely illuminate the road ahead. The black hole mines are bottomless, like a huge beast with a large mouth opening.

Xiao Ying was not fussy, he randomly chose a nearest mine, slipped in, and his figure was swallowed up by darkness ...

The stars in the night blinked, silently taking into account everything that happened on the land below ...

When Xiao Ying came out of the mine, he quietly avoided the people's eyes and dived down the Siegley Mountain, and rushed to the post in the town.

I was in an unfamiliar post, and I came here in disguise. Nangong Ai was sleeping together, so when she heard that Xiao Ying was here, she immediately got up and asked Bai Hui to help her re-hair her hair. After getting a cloak, I went outside the temple house.

"Shi Zifei!" Xiao Ying held his fist saluting respectfully, took out a gray stone from his arms with a smile, gave it to Bai Hui, and presented it to Nangong Yan. "This is the ore taken from the mine's mine."

Anyone who has eyes can see that this gray ore appears to be very different from the cart of iron ore sent by Deng Guanshi during the day.

Nangong Kun turned this ore across a papa, and thoughtfully tilted his mouth.

She doesn't know much about ore. She only knows that there are many kinds of iron ore. But if this ore is iron ore, why should Deng Guanxue go far and find a cart of ore for her?

"Second concubine, there are still obituaries ..."

Following this, Xiao Ying faithfully relayed the conversation between Deng Guanshi and Lao Song to Nangong Yu. At the time, the mine was in a tumultuous atmosphere, and they were not close enough. Of course, Xiao Ying did not hear it. He was Only after reading the lips of Deng Guanshi and Lao Song, I learned.

Nangong Yan's expression was more solemn.

She still remembers Sun Xinyi's words that in the past, a person who spoke in Baiyue's accent appeared at the Fang family and tried to conquer the Fang family's mine in the Sigele Mountains. But in the end it was a success, Sun Xinyi did not know.

Nowadays, regardless of the county, or even the people in this town, this mine is regarded as owned by the Fang family.

Even Zhou Dacheng also mentioned the Fang family's industry when he mentioned Siegley Mountain.

Whether it is or not, it is obvious that this kind of ore is very important to Deng Guanshi and their demand for it can be said to be hunger and thirst. Even the production of six hundred stones a month cannot satisfy them.

What could it be? !!
