All the tricks are in vain
But have you ever thought about the principle of "seeing is believing, hearing is believing"? I kept the gold in a crystal bottle without sunlight, air, rain or dew for many years. In order to win the trust of Yulong Wanzong, you handed it over to him
, this is a fact; but it is not an exaggeration to say that the information you received from others in Yunnan about mining in the capital is 'hearsay', right?
Cooperating with Long Wanzong is to seek the skin of a tiger! Now that he is dead, if the gang of crazy gangsters in Yunnan know about it, you will probably be "taking chestnuts from the fire" - making wedding clothes for others: another huge sum of money is paid by charlatans.
...Warlock, a large amount of gunpowder has been transported to mine. With someone like you taking advantage of you, I will not kill you until you kill me. If it were me, I would not tell you that the gold mine has been discovered."
By the end, Xiao Zimei had returned to her usual gentle and carefree appearance, which was also a sign that she seemed to be a weak woman but was actually confident.
It has to be said that Xiao Zimei does have some ability to confuse people. When she took the initiative to seek cooperation, Zhou Yan was a little unconcerned and just thought it was a woman from the back house who was clinging to her randomly;
Later, I also listened to the many bargaining chips she gave, which were many amazing remarks, amazing from various dimensions; after that, in a few words, I convinced myself to let her join his camp, because it was his own, not myna's.
She had noticed this a long time ago, which proved that she was not a creature in the pool in the first place.
Her request was also very simple. She would help her ascend to the throne of God. She would first be her concubine, and then enter the palace.
If he likes it, Zhou Yan naturally likes this kind of ambitious woman; but he is not sure whether she likes him, but he thinks she should like him: she looks at him with an expression of care and determination, but she never
She doesn't care about her other women. What she wants is nothing more than the position that represents his real wife but also represents dignity and honor.
Perhaps, loving men and loving power are not inconsistent with each other. But which one do you love more? Zhou Yan did not dare to think deeply; but he knew that Xiao Zimei had convinced him again, just like she had always
As if they are invincible. Over in Yunnan, those gangsters cannot be trusted at all.
It seemed that for Sasuke Xiao Zimei's speculation, his confidant used the most urgent method of communication outside the study: knocking on the door five times in a row.
Zhou Yan glanced at Xiao Zimei and found that she was still sitting in the guest seat without moving at all, drinking tea with her eyes lowered, without the slightest intention of avoiding it.
Zhou Yan said: "Come in!"
"Sir, let's transport it back..." Zhou Yan's confidant spoke hurriedly after closing the door. He stopped abruptly after saying a few words because he saw other people in the inner room.
Weird, the prince rarely retains anyone, let alone a woman. It seems that she is a concubine?
"No problem, just tell me." Zhou Yan waved his hand.
"It's like this. We didn't use up the materials for making black powder. On the way back, as soon as we entered the Grand Canal in Luoyang, someone interfered with us. The fact that there were raw materials on the ship was exposed!"
The confidants were still on the verge of tears. The people over there had originally arrested a woman and planned to take credit for it. Now it would be better if they were not beaten to death!
"What! Why didn't you come and report earlier!" Zhou Yanhao stood up suddenly, his face sinking like water.
The confidant's calves trembled, and he knelt on the ground: "Because...because something exploded on the ship, and an open fire started, which alerted the local officials..." The confidant had nothing to say: everyone was detained, and it was not easy to get there.
The message returned.
Zhou Yan felt like he was struck by lightning: "How is it possible... This is impossible! It's just some raw materials, there is no danger at all; even the most dangerous and explosive sand is not on it, how could it be like that..."
Zhou Yan fell back in his seat in a daze. No wonder they hadn't come back after walking for so long. It turned out that they were in prison! This is not something that can be easily settled. If the news reaches the capital and his father knows about it, he will order a thorough investigation...
…
Zhou Yan's heart was in a mess now, and he couldn't even concentrate to think of countermeasures... From the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Zimei sitting at the bottom with a frown on her face, like a straw grasped by a drowning person: "Zimei,
Think about what to do!..."
***
After three rounds of drinking at Duan Biao's side, he felt something was wrong. Why haven't Lao Wu and the others returned yet?
He got up and went to the dense forest at the entrance of the rope bridge. He saw that the broken rope bridge no longer passed through the dark forest. The entire forest was shrouded in mist, and it seemed that it had become a dangerous place where no one could step.
.
Lao Wu must be in trouble. Duan Biao went back to the house, called most of his brothers, and went to meet Lao Wu and his friends who were uncertain about their life or death, leaving only a few people to watch the village.
"Lao Liu, you ask everyone to take all the hard guys with them. No matter what kind of monsters and monsters there are in the woods, I guarantee that they will all be sent to the West!" Duan Biao took a sip of wine and took the precious sword handed over by his little brother, which drank countless blood.
"Pfft--" sprayed onto the blade.
"Okay, big brother!" Just as Lao Liu was about to go out to make arrangements, Duan Biao pointed his finger in the distance and said, "Take that person with you too."
Lao Liu looked at the person in the corner, puzzled but did not ask any questions.
Lao Liu took the torch as the head and swept across with a spear in his hand. The thick and juicy stems and leaves were cut off at the waist, spraying out dark or light green juice. The dark light reflected from the spear head seemed to be quenched with venom, red.
The long tassel is almost dyed dark green.
The road is not difficult to walk, just follow the broken planks and ropes of the rope bridge.
But as we walked further in, the overgrown trees became more and more blocking out the sky and the sun, and we couldn't see the moon or the stars. From time to time, unknown black shadows passed in front of everyone's eyes, which was scary. Maybe it was because of the roar of the wind, and everyone couldn't hear it.
The chirping of strange birds and animals never stopped; there was also a strange frog with bright patterns like butterfly wings that kept staring at their activities, which was very annoying.
Just after Lao Liu "alerted the snake", a black and white ringed snake swam past, Lao Liu snorted lightly and said, "It's just like..."
Before the word "this" could be uttered, suddenly the leaves on a certain tree rustled, a roaring sound suddenly came from the thorns, and a dark cloud pattern jumped from the tree and headed towards the leader, Lao Liu.
Lao Liu's eyes were dazzled, and he saw a big cat-like thing coming straight towards him. His body subconsciously raised his arms to cover it——
Although he protected his head and face, the thing that rushed at him was only two or three feet long. He raised his arm to block the front paws of the thing, but its flexible hind legs that followed like a cat couldn't reach it in time.
Liu reacted, the spikes in his hind claws stretched out, and immediately poked several bloody holes in Lao Liu's neck.
