Chapter 117 Goodbye, Three Kingdoms!
Durban, South Africa
In an abandoned factory in the suburbs, Qin Mo, who was supposed to be busy refining equipment in "Honghuang", suddenly appeared here, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a black mask.
Standing next to Qin Mo was a blond middle-aged man with a burly build.
"Ricken, why hasn't the person you contacted arrived yet?" Qin Mo asked in English.
"Don't worry, Qin, they will be here soon. Believe me, I'm a professional." Ricken seemed very relaxed and nonchalant.
But anyone who underestimates him will suffer a great loss.
Qin Mo met Ricken through the dark web. The latter's identity is also very special. In Chinese terms, he is a broker who is specifically responsible for connecting people.
After acquiring Spark Mining, Qin Mo was not satisfied with it.
First of all, Xinghuo Mining is just an ordinary mining trading company. It is fine for ordinary ores, but the channels for purchasing rare ores are very limited.
It can't meet Qin Mo's needs for refining equipment at all.
Secondly, the cash Qin Mo had was not enough to support such a large-scale purchase of ore.
In view of this, Qin Mo used the hacking skills he had just learned to find Ricken through the dark web, and then through him, he prepared to directly purchase rare minerals with gold, jade, etc.
According to Ricken, the person he was looking for this time was one of the largest mineral miners in Africa, who controlled more than twenty mines and was one of the most powerful figures in the circle.
Only such a giant crocodile can satisfy Qin Mo's appetite.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked in.
The leader was a bearded white man, as strong as a big brown bear, wearing sunglasses and looking very tough, followed by a group of younger brothers dressed as bodyguards.
"Hi, Clo, you're finally here. My friends have been waiting anxiously." Ricken stepped forward and gave the bearded man a warm hug, then introduced Qin Mo to him.
"This is Qin."
The two nodded to each other, indicating that they had met before.
"Where is what I want?" Qin Mo asked.
"Don't worry." Chloe grinned, "I want to see what you brought first."
"good!"
Although he sensed that these people were carrying guns, Qin Mo remained extremely calm. He picked up a large leather suitcase at his feet, put it on a gray table, and opened it.
There are a lot of things inside.
There are not only melted gold bricks, but also high-quality jade wares, five hundred-year-old ginsengs, and even two jars of gold wound medicine, all of which are rare and valuable things in reality.
Because it was the first time they worked together, Qin Mo brought some of everything.
As for the gold and silver utensils, ceramics and other antiques from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, they were still too sensitive. After much deliberation, Qin Mo gave up the idea of selling those things abroad.
After all, he is a Chinese and cannot allow the cultural treasures passed down by his "ancestors" to flow overseas.
Cloe waved his hand, and three people walked out behind him, holding magnifying glasses, and began to identify the gold bricks, jade artifacts, and ginseng that Qin Mo brought.
Obviously he came prepared.
Kro himself picked up a can of golden wound medicine and asked curiously: "Qin, what is this?"
"This is a secret medicine made by a wizard. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you apply this ointment, the bleeding will stop immediately." Qin Mo said.
"wizard?"
The corner of Clo's mouth twitched, obviously unconvinced, "Let me try it first."
As he spoke, Clo called over a younger brother, pressed the latter's right hand on the table, suddenly pulled out a military dagger, and with a swish, cut a deep gash on the younger brother's hand.
After finishing, he gave Qin Mo a provocative look.
Qin Mo was calm and composed. How could such a trick played by children scare him?
Clo's eyes focused, and ignoring the little brother's howling, he dipped his hand in some ointment and applied it to the fresh wound.
A magical scene appeared.
As everyone watched, the wound stopped bleeding and coagulated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Oh~~The mysterious potion from the mysterious oriental country is simply amazing." Rickon on the side said half-exaggeratedly and half-seriously.
Clo also put aside his previous contempt and took the initiative to shake hands with Qin Mo.
On the other side , the relevant identification work has also come to an end, and the next step is valuation.
We have our own professionals busy.
An hour passed before everything was settled. Under the guidance of Clo, Qin Mo finally saw the ore he needed.
It was packed in a modified container .
After inspecting the goods, at Qin Mo's signal, the container was placed in an abandoned warehouse in an abandoned factory building that he had selected in advance.
"You go out first." Qin Mo rudely drove Ricken and others out of the warehouse.
Then, he directly stored the container into the dimensional space. When he walked out of the warehouse, he locked it carefully. In fact, there was nothing in the warehouse.
"Looking forward to our next cooperation." Qin Mo took the initiative to shake hands with Clo this time.
Although Clo was a bit fierce, the ore he brought was genuine, and there was no mess in the formal transaction.
For Qin Mo, this is enough.
"Me too, Qin." Kro laughed, "Remember to bring more secret medicine next time."
It's funny.
Cloe did not attach much importance to the century-old ginseng that Qin Mo brought, and the price was not high, which could be regarded as a waste of talent.
However, Clo had a special liking for the golden wound medicine that he originally regarded as a bonus and offered a high price for it.
It was an unexpected gain.
"Sure." Qin Mo smiled.
After seeing Clo off, Qin Mo took Rickon's car back to the city.
On the way, Ricken couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Hey, Qin, you just left the stuff in the warehouse?" That was goods worth 100 million US dollars.
Qin Mo smiled and said, "Someone will take the things away, don't worry."
“Someone else?” Rickon wondered.
He always thought Qin Mo was alone, but he didn't expect that he had a companion.
"Someone else."
“Then how are you going to get these things back home?” Rickon asked.
"Don't worry about it."
Qin Mo laughed in his heart. No matter how powerful the customs was, they couldn't find anything that existed in the dimensional space. From beginning to end, he just went on a trip to South Africa.
Apart from that, no trace was left.
…
As soon as Qin Mo sent him back to the hotel, Ricken's eyes rolled and he immediately drove back to the abandoned factory. He saw that the warehouse door was still locked.
With a sudden thought, he took out an axe from the trunk of the car and chopped the lock open.
When I went in, I saw it was empty.
"Were they really taken away?"
Ricken was shocked and confused, and his evaluation of Qin Mo unconsciously raised to a higher level. He believed that there must be a huge team behind Qin Mo.
Maybe Qin Mo was just a "glove" on the surface and didn't dare to have any other thoughts.
…
The trip to South Africa filled the last gap in Qin Mo's equipment refining.
Even the funding gap was unexpectedly resolved.
For the next period of time, Qin Mo traveled back and forth between reality and "Honghuang", once again serving as a porter between the two worlds and busy with refining equipment.
Until the end of the year.
Over the past year, relying on continuous blood transfusions from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, both Blackwater City and the more than 200 villages of all sizes outside the city have been put on the right track.
The food harvested from the fields is barely enough to support self-sufficiency.
This also means that it is time for Qin Mo to officially bid farewell to the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
In this situation, if Qin Mo still clings to the position of Grand Tutor, abuses public resources for personal gain, and continues to provide blood transfusions for Blackwater City, it would be too ugly.
Some are greedy.
Over the past year, in order to provide blood transfusion to Blackwater City, the Han court has been living a tight life. After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops to support.
The later Qin Mo leaves, the more he owes the big man, and the deeper the cause and effect will be.
This is something he doesn't want to see.
Last time, Qin Mo kidnapped nearly 300,000 people from the Han Dynasty in one go . From the imperial court to the local government, everyone gave Qin Mo enough face.
Very cooperative.
If things really get to the point where both sides have to turn against each other, then the little reputation Qin Mo has built up under the Han Dynasty will be completely ruined, and he will go from being a hero and pillar of the Han Dynasty to a blood-sucking leech crawling on the Han Dynasty's body.
Qin Mo still has to have some shame.
In view of this, Qin Mo temporarily stopped the weapon refining work in his hands, returned to the Three Kingdoms Subcontinent, and began to concentrate on dealing with matters related to leaving the Three Kingdoms Subcontinent.
It can be said to have a beginning and an end.
On December 10, 188, Qin Mo resigned from the post of General of Cavalry.
Huangfu Song, the former governor of Jizhou, was transferred to the imperial court and promoted to General of Cavalry, commanding 100,000 imperial guards. Prior to this, Qin Mo had already incorporated the Youyun Iron Cavalry into the imperial guards.
On December 15, 188, Qin Mo submitted a memorial to the court to restore the prime minister system.
After the approval, he officially resigned from the post of "Recruiter of Shangshu Affairs" and promoted Shangshu Zuo Cheng Cao Cao to the position of Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
December 20, 189.
Qin Mo once again petitioned the court, requesting to resign from his official positions, including Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and Grand Tutor, and to retire.
Strangely, the palace had delayed its response to Qin Mo's second memorial, which aroused people's speculation and caused turmoil in the court.
It was not until the 25th that the palace issued an order to summon the Grand Tutor into the palace.
