Chapter three hundred and thirty first without success
After Wen Wenjing's riot, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"285, no, brother Xiaoyi, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Ding Yuqiang's attitude made a 180-degree turn, and his expression changed from strict to gentle: "You are the friend of Lord Meng, and we are our own people."
If Meng Jianwen came one step later and accidentally killed Xiao Yi, it would be a big trouble. Ding Yuqiang was still afraid of it.
"I just need to go to the central mining area, Lord Ding, can I go through the procedures, right?"
Yichen has seen many people like this who turn against each other faster than flirting with books, and is not surprised.
But he didn't know who Meng Jianwen was, even Ding Yuqiang, the deputy governor, had to obey his orders.
"This is done, this is done." Ding Yuqiang agreed quickly and quickly completed the procedures.
"Mr. Meng is a general in the General's Mansion and has little official position, but he is General Xiang's sworn brother, and his status in the General's Mansion is second only to General Xiang."
After leaving the courtyard, the foreman followed Yichen happily and explained: "Mr. Meng's words generally represent General Xiang, and no one dared to object."
After listening to the foreman's explanation, Yichen seemed to understand a little, but he felt even more incomprehensible.
When he said he wanted to come to the mining area, Meng Jianwen strongly opposed it, but today he broke the regulations of the central mining area in front of many people.
Why did he help himself? He also publicly ordered Ding Yuqiang to do things that violated the mining area regulations.
Another point is that when I was in Qilian Town, the masked man who took action to block Ding Yuqiang's palm should be Meng Jianwen.
Although the shadow on the roof of the Boxer Regiment came and went in a hurry, he was still from his figure.
Is this Meng Jianwen encountering me several times? Did it mean it or a coincidence?
There are many doubts and a lot of doubts. Yichen couldn't judge for a while. Fortunately, he got the qualification to enter the central mining area, so he should report first.
The treatment of central mining areas is much better than that of peripheral mining areas.
In the dormitory of ordinary miners, there are only six people living in one room, and miners who have reached the fifth-rank war general can get a slightly smaller single dormitory.
Moreover, because the guarding power in the central mining area is very strong, the management of miners at night is more casual.
As long as you do not enter and exit the key parts of the mining area, you do not violate the ban and generally will not interfere.
Yichen sorted out a little, and then told Xia Ye about the location of the hidden weapons that Yi Xiao said through sending a message to Yu.
This is a group of excellent weapons that were unexpectedly obtained. It supplemented the Boxers' weapons and equipment for free, and also brought great help to Xia Ye's construction of the Boxers.
Next, Yichen participated in normal miner labor during the day and looked very busy. Many people were so tired that they grinned, but for him, this work could only be considered warm-up at most.
What is really hard is that at night, because I got a separate dormitory and closed the door after I came back, basically no one would disturb me. Yichen felt it was very convenient.
The sleeping time is very short. There are two main things throughout the night. One is practice. This is a habit that Yichen has developed over the years, especially when it is late at night, the practice effect is better than usual.
In addition, the thing I care most about at the moment is to quickly get familiar with the environment of the central mining area and provide guarantees for your next move.
The guards in the central mining area at night are more vigilant than during the day, with bright lights and almost no dead corners. As long as you step into the central area, there is no way to cover it up.
Although the official patrols are at a relatively fixed time, the density and coverage area are very large, and even the corners and places where they may hide will not be spared.
A few days ago, a miner got up in the middle of the night and ran away from the wrong place. He was caught before he could finish peeing.
Smack
Yichen invisibly threw a stone from the corner of the wall and smashed it on the other wall.
If it was during the day, such a small sound would hardly be noticed, but it was particularly harsh at this moment.
"Who?"
I felt that the stone had just fallen to the ground, and I heard the shouting from the official officer.
Swish swish swish
In just a few breaths, seven or eight neatly equipped officials appeared at the location where the stone landed, and they surrounded them in several directions.
This was just a throwing stone to ask for directions by Yichen. The location was also random. The purpose was to see if the guards were effective in the central mining area of the General's Mansion.
The result of the test made Yichen take a breath of cold air.
The seven or eight official officials had their cultivation levels above the eighth level of the war general, with agile movements and consistent pace, and the swords and swords on them were all top-notch weapons.
With such a lineup, even if the invaders' cultivation level reaches the level of a strong war commander, they may not be able to kill them in an instant.
If there is a slight delay, there will be a large number of officials who will come to provide assistance in a very short time.
What made Yichen even more shocked was that not far from the scene, there were clearly two auras of powerful war commanders, one of which was actually an intermediate level war commander!
"How is it?" Although the questioning of the strong man of Zhan Shuai was very light, he could still hear it clearly in the quiet night.
"Reporting to the commander, no living creatures were found." This answer surprised Yichen again.
Co-existing, what officials and officials need to guard against is not only humans, but also other creatures that may invade.
A small stone caused such a big disturbance, which shows how tight the guards of the General's Mansion are.
From this point of view, there are no less than fifty strong war commanders in the central mining area.
The two of them just now, just the powerful war commanders in this area, were able to arrive at the scene so quickly, which means that the distance was relatively close.
The entire central mining area, just the area of the restricted area, is dozens of times larger than that of this small area.
Fortunately, Yichen was invisible, otherwise he would have been in trouble with them.
The mid-level strongman of the War Commander cannot pose a threat to Yichen, but in such a large central mining area, there will definitely be high-level strongman of the War Commander, or even the peak strongman of the War Commander.
If the latter appears, even if you can't catch Yichen, it can destroy his action plan. More importantly, Yichen is not clear about the defensive configuration of the entire mining area.
Yichen retreated back to the dormitory, simply closed the door, twisted his body, and sneaked directly into the ground.
The underground area of the central mining area is entirely made of rocks, and it travels very slowly and consumes a lot.
Following the cliff direction provided by Sun Tie, Yichen worked hard to move forward.
More than half an hour passed, and Yichen felt that it was half a distance from the cliff. Although this section of the road was very difficult to dive, it took more time to go deeper.
If it goes well, it takes another half an hour to reach the cliff, and you should find the way to the land of corpses.
The hiding place of Ruyi Stone Gallbladder may be somewhere in the place where the corpse is horizontal.
Yichen knew that the land of corpses must be full of traps and crises, but as long as you go on, you will have a chance to get the Ruyi Stone Gallbladder.
Huh
Just when he was looking forward to a bright future, he found that he could hardly move forward.
The density of the rocks around the body was getting bigger and bigger, and the huge squeeze pressure made Yichen's bones creak.
Every step further, Yi Chen suffered from the pain of splitting the muscles and bones, and his whole body was compressed by rocks, and his internal organs were wrapped together, so he had no way to bear it.
The cliff here was formed by someone who split the mountain with one palm tens of thousands of years ago. Half of the extra rocks were forcibly penetrated into the ground and fused with the original rocks.
After years of terrain changes, the combined rocks have truly formed a whole, and their hardness has increased by at least twice. Even if they use gunpowder to blast, the effect cannot be said to be very good.
It is precisely because the rocks in this area have changed, and Ruyi stone galls are only present in high-density ores. In the peripheral mining areas, even stone galls with fists are rare.
Yichen had no choice but to return without success.
After a period of attempt, Yichen did not find a path to the cliff from all directions.
However, despite not reaching the cliff, there were some unexpected gains.
During a sneak, I accidentally discovered a fist-sized round stone embedded in the middle of the rock, which was crystal clear and shiny, which was very different from the ordinary rocks around me.
Curious, Yichen carefully peeled the round stone from the rock and brought it back to see it, and was immediately extremely happy.
Ruyi Stone Gallbladder!
Although it is only the size of a fist, it seems insignificant compared to the Ruyi Stone Gallbladder lost by Sun Tie, but it is also a real Ruyi Stone Gallbladder.
The unexpected gains greatly boosted Yichen's confidence. In the next few days, he would sneak into the ground every night.
Every now and then, Yichen can dig out a Ruyi stone gall, some of which are the size of an egg, and some are about the same as a fist.
Looking at the sun and moon space, there were already seven or eight Ruyi stone galls, Yichen also felt a little comforted.
During this period, Xia Ye successfully obtained more than 150 weapons according to Yichen's instructions, and the worst ones could be used by the eighth-grade master of the war general.
Most swords are of high quality and are used by powerful war commanders. They are not only easy to use, but also increase their own strength.
In addition, there are many valuable goods such as crystal coins hidden in the cave, which are the legacy left by Yi Xiao and his friends for many years.
The supplementary materials provided sufficient financial resources for the Boxers to recruit soldiers and horses, and the confidence to build an iron army in summer night was even more strong.
"From today, we will increase our working hours every day, and no one is allowed to take leave!"
After the foreman announced the regulations of the central mining area, he hurriedly left.
"How can I eat it in two hours?"
", I'll kill us, I'll stop doing it."
When the foreman was there, the miners did not dare to be angry. As soon as the foreman left, everyone whispered.
"I heard that this batch of ore transported was stolen by a group of robbers of unknown origin."
A fifth-rank miner said mysteriously:
"Jiuyou did not receive ore, so he urged General Xiang to collect the ore quantity within one month."
"Someone dared to rob the ore of the General's Mansion, and he got the courage of the leopard?" Some people didn't believe it.
Chapter completed!
