Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 45 The Blame
Over at the iron mine, Wang Liang's team had almost retreated, and the Wild Dog Taoist and his men had almost cleaned up all the traces here.
The crows sent by Wang Liang also led a fleet to this valley.
After entering the valley, a large number of soldiers and armor jumped off the boat, escorting several men dressed as literati and craftsmen into the valley.
Soon they got accurate information.
If the mining is done in a concealed manner, the amount of iron here can be mined for about three years. If the mining is done with all one's might, it will only take a year and a half at most to empty the area.
Of course, the ore vein is here, and the output is also here. What they are considering is not the issue of time, but the question of how many troops can be equipped with the iron ore produced here.
If they only made weapons such as swords and guns, the iron ore here would be more than enough for them to equip an army of 10,000 people.
If we do it in more detail, such as making armor or something, the number of equipment will be reduced to about three thousand people.
It is even possible that not even a thousand people are fully equipped.
This force is somewhat unwilling to take the blame for this small amount of iron ore.
"In fact, you haven't thought about it. The reason why the iron ore is mined so slowly is not entirely for secrecy, but to delay time. In fact, have you noticed that there are several old mines here that have been sealed for more than ten years and have not been used.
This shows that they could have emptied the area long ago at the rate they mined, but they stayed. "
Wang Liang saw their dissatisfaction and pointed out some discoveries he had made while waiting for them.
Now these people are even more dissatisfied, "Why did you call us here? Mr. Duocai, this is not very considerate. Are you planning to let us take the blame?"
“No, I just wanted to sell this mineral vein to you at first. I couldn’t take it away anyway, but after discovering the Xiao family’s layout, I thought that he must have his own reasons for doing this.
If they continue to mine at this rate, this place will be completely mined in three years. What will happen to the miners here?"
"What else can we do? We will definitely kill them all. But before that , there will definitely be a riot among the miners, and maybe they will escape."
"What if there is still some food here, plus some gold and iron ore that has not been transported away?"
"It will naturally cause chaos." The speaker was a military advisor sent by the other side. He had figured out what Wang Liang meant. "But this Dongfeng Town is not mine. Even if Dongfeng Town is in chaos, my master can still take advantage of it."
"But have you ever thought that this is actually a plot by someone, who just wants to control this chaos within their control and build a good reputation for their sons?"
"You want to talk about the person who serves as the king's vanguard, right? But what does that have to do with my family?" The military advisor was adamant and was determined that Wang Liang was trying to trick him in this regard.
Wang Liang has plenty of patience with such people. He likes to guide those smart people to think about what he wants them to think about.
"In this world, the dragons compete with each other in terms of background and strength, but also in terms of luck. The Xiao family has made arrangements here, with the timing accurate to the year, for the sake of the right time, place, and people.
Do you want to just watch the Xiao family rise to prominence? "
Hearing this, the military advisor hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "What do you want?"
"We'll ambush the Xiao family right here. Don't look at me like that. I chose you because your family has a feud with the Xiao family, and the conflict with Siming County has been going on for a long time. And I can tell you clearly that the Huxing Sect behind the Xiao family is finished. Your family can actually make a move on the Xiao family."
The military advisor stared at Wang Liang for a long time, and finally burst into laughter.
"Mr. Duocai is indeed a good man. I am tempted by what he said. I will agree to this. But Mr. Duocai, do you want to prepare some benefits for us brothers?"
"Benefits. You can get an iron mine for free and attack your enemies. What else do you want?"
Wang Liang shook his head and then stepped back. Without any movement, everyone saw a flash before their eyes and Wang Liang disappeared into the valley.
Seeing how Wang Liang disappeared, the soldiers quickly drew their weapons to protect the military advisor.
However, the military advisor didn't care about these. He looked in the direction Wang Liang left and then sighed .
He knew that the situation in Dongfeng Town would change in three years.
Judging from Wang Liang’s attitude, it is still a question whether the Xiao family can still exist in three years.
People like Wang Liang will definitely get involved, but we don’t know how deep he will go. These are things he needs to consider.
As for the means by which Wang Liang left, that was not important at all. He could see at a glance that the magic array disk he carried with him used an illusion array to hide himself.
Just as the military advisor was considering how to deal with the current situation, a man next to him with his eyes rolled back spoke in a low voice.
"Military Advisor, that person just now was not right."
"Is there something wrong with him?"
"I saw a thick purple aura on him. If it weren't for the umbrella on his back, the purple aura could have turned into a wolf smoke. At the same time, behind him there was a dragon and a tiger protecting them. The dragon was green and then turned white. I don't know what route it was taking.
The tiger is even stranger, a dragon turning into a tiger, and a white tiger at that. It is impossible to tell what he is thinking.
The most important thing is that there seems to be a four-character seal on his back, but I can’t see it clearly, so I can only see the two characters “Dragon King”.”
"You still can't see clearly." The military advisor was about to make a joke, but he found that the man's eyes were bleeding. He quickly helped him to the side and said, "Old Zhao, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I just saw something I shouldn't have seen and got hurt. Mr. Chu, you have to be careful. That person is a fierce dragon. We can't afford to offend him."
After hearing what Old Zhao said, Military Advisor Chu's expression also became a little solemn.
"What level?"
"I'm not sure, but I saw the words 'Heaven and Earth' behind him."
"Damn it! How could a small town like Dongfeng Town produce such a big dragon? Old Zhao, do you think there is still hope for the master?"
"That depends on what that person wants. If he wants to fight for the dragon, then let's forget it. But if he doesn't want to fight for the dragon, then I still have some hope. At least we can cooperate with him."
As Old Zhao spoke, he pointed around.
"Yes, that person wants to deal with the Xiao family, so let's have a good fight with the Xiao family. Pass the order down, General Li, get ready , the original owner of this mine is coming, let's ambush them."
Under the arrangement of Military Advisor Chu, the soldiers here acted quickly, and at this moment, the people sent by the Xiao family to gather information also entered here by boat.
