Changsun Wuji, who left the household department, did not expect that not only was he going to have a bad start here, but the great elder would also suffer heavy losses.

When he returned to the mansion, the elder told him with a worried look what had happened last night when the spies went to explore the mine.

"What? You said that the mine was surrounded by Luo Zhang? And heavily guarded? How is this possible?" Changsun Wuji said in surprise.

"That's the fact. Only their leader among the people sent came back alive. The rest were either killed in battle or captured. I didn't expect this to happen!" the great elder took a deep breath and said.

At this moment, the housekeeper trotted in and reported: "Great Elder, the manpower sent to explore the other nine mines has returned. There is nothing abnormal in those nine mines. They are all mining normally. There are only about ten mines.

There are guards guarding the mine, and the mine is not enclosed, it is all open."

"Well? It's all open? There's no confinement? Are you sure?" the great elder frowned.

"I'm sure, I asked the spies to investigate carefully, and there will be no mistakes!" the housekeeper replied affirmatively.

"Go down!" The great elder waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to leave.

When the housekeeper went down, the elder turned to look at Changsun Wuji and said: "It seems that there is something fishy about this matter. Could it be that Luo Zhang knew about the anomalies in the mine earlier than we did? If this is true, things will be difficult.

!”

"Humph, what's the trouble? He is not in Chang'an now, and his family has taken away most of the people. It can be said that now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can arrest his family and force him to give me the mine.

If he refuses, just wait and collect the bodies of his family!" Changsun Wuji said viciously.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this. Now Luo Zhang is a county prince and a fourth-rank official. He is no longer the low-ranking official he was before. If you do it now, I'm afraid that His Majesty will be furious if he finds out. He will definitely hold you accountable when the time comes.

, this is really not worth it!" the great elder advised.

"Your Majesty? If I can get this mine, I can build more powerful weapons and armor. With these weapons and armor, how can the Tang Dynasty's army and horses be hostile to me? If he dares to talk nonsense, I don't mind replacing him!" Changsun

Wuji said domineeringly.

"Master, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!" the elder said in shock. At the same time, he looked outside the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was there. Although he knew that the master of the family had been with him for a long time, he could not say anything.

, if this reaches His Majesty’s ears, his eldest grandson’s family will be confiscated and exterminated.

With their current strength, they simply cannot compete with His Majesty, so they can only lie dormant and wait for opportunities.

"I'm just saying that everything has to wait until we get the mine. Now that we're not ready, I won't take action!" Changsun Wuji clenched his fists and said.

"What about this?" the great elder asked.

"Send another group of spies to that mine today. We must find out the situation in the mine. If we don't understand the situation, we can't continue!" Changsun Wuji said thoughtfully.

"Okay, I will send another group of people there today, and we must find out more this time!" the great elder promised.

In Luofu, Wu Shaobin's residence, he was practicing for a day. He just opened his eyes and saw the housekeeper Haizi standing outside the door. He couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter with you?"

"Sir, there are people from the mine. They have been waiting to see you for a long time!" the housekeeper hurriedly replied.

"Someone from the mine?" Wu Shaobin raised his brows, as if he had thought of something. He hurriedly got off the bed, walked out the door, and headed towards the front yard living room.

The place where he was was in the middle courtyard, where outsiders were not allowed in. Most outsiders were waiting in the living room.

When he arrived at the reception room in the front yard, he saw three mine guards sitting there waiting.

Seeing Wu Shaobin's arrival, the three guards quickly stood up and bowed: "Sir!"

"Sit down and tell me, did something happen in the mine?" Wu Shaobin asked hurriedly.

"Yes, sir, something happened in the mine. We were attacked by a group of people last night. Fortunately, we were well prepared and killed all those people. Only one person escaped." The leading guard hurriedly replied.

"How many people are here and how strong are they?" Wu Shaobin continued to ask.

"More than a dozen people came, all of whom were above the Qi Sensing realm. Fortunately, we had ambushes, traps, and wooden towers with arrows to attack from a distance. This way we caught these people off guard. If we were fooled by these people,

Come in, I'm afraid there will be many casualties!" the leading guard reported.

"Yes, you did a good job. You were able to catch these people. You should be credited with your first merit. You will go to the accounting room to collect the reward and distribute it to the guards in the mine." Wu Shaobin said with approval.

"Thank you, sir!" the three guards said happily.

"Have those people asked? Who sent them? What is their purpose?" Wu Shaobin asked.

"We captured a total of eight people and killed seven. Six of them confessed that they were all sent by the Changsun Mansion! Their purpose was to take down the mine and control it. I didn't expect that we would actually do it here.

There was such a tight guard, so we lost our control." The leading guard answered truthfully.

Hearing the words of the leading guard, Wu Shaobin became silent and said for a long time: "I will also go to the mine tonight. I am afraid that they will not give up. I will go to the mine to inquire today. I will make sure that they never come back!"

"As for you, after you go back, take more precautions and don't take it lightly. We'll talk about it later after I've settled things at home!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the guards at the mine left, Wu Shaobin immediately went to the middle courtyard. If he left, the guards at home would naturally not be able to take it lightly. Who knows if Changsun Wuji would jump over the wall in a hurry.

And the person he went to the Central Court to find was not someone else, but Chen Kuifeng's wife, Lai Fengyi.

Lai Fengyi's strength is not weak in the first place, and she has reached the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Sense Realm. Luo Zhang will naturally not be stingy with his own people. With the help of his roasted corn and other various ingredients, he successfully succeeded in Lai Fengyi's

The realm has been pushed to the true essence realm.

At present, he and Lai Fengyi are the only ones in the family who are in the True Yuan realm. If he leaves, Lai Fengyi will naturally have to temporarily take on the responsibility of protecting the family.

After all, Luo Zhang had confessed when he left that nothing could happen to the mine, and the Changsun family must not get it, otherwise big things would happen. Although he didn’t know what would happen, Wu Shaobin believed that Luo Zhang wouldn’t lie. He said something big would happen, so it must have happened.

Something bad is going to happen.

When I arrived at Chen Kuifeng's house, I saw Lai Fengyi holding an iron gun in her hand and dancing like a tiger!
