Murong Fu then asked a few more questions about the situation in the canyon that day. When he learned that Wang Pingfan took advantage of the chaos and disappeared behind a rock, he was startled, "Authentic?"
Ah Jiu nodded lightly, "Yes, Sister Qin said the same, and there are more than one, and they were not dug out temporarily. Otherwise, it would be impossible to ambush so many Qing soldiers in such a short period of time."
As she spoke, she also had a heavy look of doubt on her face. She didn't understand what the Qing soldiers were doing by digging those tunnels. Although the Wangwu Sect camp was very close to the canyon before, there was no need to dig a tunnel at all.
Murong Fu's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the iron stone mountain that could not be collapsed by the explosion of saltpeter powder. An idea flashed in his mind, "No, that is not authentic!"
Ah Jiu was stunned. What else could it be if it wasn't an tunnel? Could it be that Wang Ping Fan's troops appeared out of thin air deep in the canyon?
A look of joy gradually appeared on Murong Fu's face.
Shuang'er listened to the two talking, and while feeling scared, he was also a little curious. He couldn't help but ask, "What did your husband think of?"
Murong Fu laughed and did not hide anything, "If I guessed correctly, the stone mountains on both sides of the canyon are actually two iron mountains."
"Iron Mountain?" The two girls were stunned at the same time, and Ah Jiu asked, "Master, what is Iron Mountain?"
Before Murong Fu could answer, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door, "The so-called Iron Mountain is a mountain formed of a kind of iron stone."
"Sister Qin is here!" Ah Jiu glanced at the door unexpectedly, and hurriedly stood up with her hands tied, holding the disciple's bow.
In front of Shuang'er, she could still get a little closer to Murong Fu, but in front of outsiders, especially Qin Suzhen's special status, she naturally had to be more reserved.
Qin Suzhen moved like wind. She walked to Murong Fu's bed in a few steps and looked him up and down. "Looking at your complexion, you look just like an ordinary person. Sometimes I have to wonder, are you still a human after all?"
A strange color flashed in Murong Fu's eyes, and he said in a melancholy tone, "I know you all regard me as a god-like existence. This troubles me. In fact, I am also a living person..."
Hearing these words, both Qin Suzhen and Ah Jiu couldn't help but rolled their eyes. They could only look at Murong Fu with admiration and said seriously, "Mr. Sir, in Shuang'er's heart, you are a god."
Murong Fu glanced at Shuang'er approvingly, and almost pulled the cute little baby over and kissed her twice more.
But at this moment, Qin Suzhen said quietly, "Don't get me wrong, except Miss Shuang'er, we all regard you as a monster."
Murong Fu's face darkened, and he heard her continue, "Wounds can heal quickly, your skills are unfathomable, and you have a magic sword that can communicate with human nature. To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known you existed in this world.
Such a monster."
"Yes, my young master is unparalleled and unique in the world. I wonder if General Qin is interested in getting married and giving birth to a unique son for me?" Murong Fu couldn't find the words to refute her words for a while, but he was talking nonsense.
, making teasing remarks.
Ah Jiu and Shuang'er were both startled when they heard this, and both turned to look at Qin Suzhen.
If such unbridled words were said to others, Qin Suzhen would not be able to respond immediately, but it was Murong Fu who said these words. Her pretty face turned slightly red and she spat softly, "That's nonsense, only a devil would be willing to have sex with you."
What a monster son."
Ah Jiu felt a little sour in her heart, but Shuang'er quickly reacted and teased, "Sister Qin is shy, which means she must have thought about this in her heart."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Suzhen looked embarrassed and stamped her feet in a coquettish manner, rarely showing the attitude of a little girl.
Murong Fu felt secretly happy and couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Scoundrel!" Qin Suzhen couldn't help but glare at him when she saw this. She changed the topic and asked, "Just now you said that the mountains on both sides of the canyon are iron mountains, but what did you find?"
Murong Fu hesitated for a moment and finally said, "There should be a small iron ore vein under those two mountains."
"Ore vein!" The three women in the house were frightened when they heard this. Shuang'er was fine, but Ah Jiu and Qin Suzhen opened their mouths slightly and couldn't close their mouths for a long time. They knew clearly that an iron ore vein, even if
Being small means something to an army.
Originally, Murong Fu was reluctant to let Qin Suzhen know that the mineral vein was of great importance, especially for rootless rebels like the Baigan Army. If they had this mineral vein, they would be able to rely on themselves and never have the chance to conquer it.
, but soon he remembered something again, and then he said it without reservation.
"No wonder the east side has always been regarded as a forbidden area by the Pingxi Prince's army. In the early years, they sent troops into the mountain in large numbers. They were mysterious and did not know what they were doing. It turned out to be for this mineral vein." Qin Suzhen said with a sudden look on her face.
"Also, Wang Pingfan suddenly appeared that day, and he probably used the mine tunnel below the canyon." Ah Jiu added.
"Yes," Murong Fu nodded, "I have always had a doubt before. How did Wu Sangui support an army of 100,000 people with only Shanhaiguan, a small place with no supplies from the court and no tribute from the people?
Even if Hebei is included in our hands, even if we scrape the ground three feet away, we may not be able to support such a large army. Now I finally understand."
After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly became serious, "General Qin, now that the mine veins have been exposed, Wu Sangui will definitely do his best to surround you in order to keep this secret. I wonder what your plans are?"
Qin Suzhen was stunned when she heard this. A flash of worry flashed deep in her eyes, but she said calmly, "They can't even find my camp, so how can they encircle me?"
"Otherwise." Murong Fu smiled faintly, "Although you have set up formations around your camp and can't easily find them, this is not a magic spell after all. Once Wu Sangui gets serious and sends tens of thousands of troops to search the mountain, I'm afraid any formations
It’s of no use.”
In the past, Wu Sangui sent troops to encircle and suppress the Baigan Army many times, but never achieved anything. The main reason was that he did not take it seriously. To put it bluntly, it was just a small fight. It was not necessarily that he even intended to keep the Baigan Army, but it was different now.
When it comes to such vital secrets as mineral veins, no one would just sit idly by.
"Does Mr. Murong have any good suggestions?" Qin Suzhen naturally knew that what Murong Fu said was true, and from what he said, he seemed to have some plans, so she immediately asked.
A hint of a conspiracy-successful smile flashed in Murong Fu's eyes, and he said worriedly, "For the current plan, we can only evacuate this place as soon as possible before Wu Sangui reacts or before the army arrives."
"Alas..." Qin Suzhen sighed quietly, "The Baigan Army has been operating in Yanshan for many years. We are all rootless duckweeds. Where can we go if we leave here?"
"General Qin is too persistent. The world is so big, why can't he find a place to live?" Murong Fu laughed and said tentatively, "Have you heard of Shenlong Island?"
"Shenlong Island?" Qin Suzhen's face condensed slightly, and then she said, "Although Shenlong Island is not well-known in the world, it is quite famous among our rebels. It is considered an alternative. I heard that they are not at odds with the Qing court.
I don’t know, but on the one hand, he also sells weapons and blades to other rebels, which can be described as two-faced.”
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, quite dumbfounded. The so-called unclear relationship with the Qing court naturally meant that the Qing court turned a blind eye to Shenlong Island. As for the other rebels, he was referring to the Golden Snake.
Camp, from the beginning to the end, Shenlong Island has only sold weapons to the Golden Snake Camp.
Murong Fu's heart suddenly moved. Qin Suzhen seemed to be quite resentful in her words. Could it be that she had also wanted to buy weapons from Shenlong Island, but she didn't get what she wanted?
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "General Qin doesn't know that Shenlong Island is actually an anti-Qing organization. The reason why it can live in peace with the Qing court is that Kangxi was unable to attack it, but this is only temporary, because
Soon Kangxi may join forces with Wu Sangui, and the target is Shenlong Island."
Qin Suzhen's face was slightly stunned. After a long while, she glanced at Murong Fu thoughtfully, "What do you mean?"
Murong Fu said sternly, "To be honest, I have a close relationship with Shenlong Island. If General Qin is willing, I can introduce you to the Baigan Army to join Shenlong Island. From now on, you will no longer have to worry about money, nor weapons and armor.
Even war horses can be provided unlimitedly. I think if your Baigan Army has armor and war horses, your combat power will be stronger."
Qin Suzhen was really moved this time, "Are you telling the truth?"
Murong Fu nodded, "It's absolutely true."
Qin Suzhen felt her heart pounding. She knew the Baigan Army better than anyone else and knew what the Baigan Army needed. If it was like what Murong Fu said, with superior weapons, armor and war horses, their combat power would not only be greater
It is so strong that it is not impossible to increase it several times immediately.
But she was not an ordinary person after all. She calmed down quickly, looked at Murong Fu with an incomprehensible expression, and said quietly, "If what you said is true, then your relationship with Shenlong Island should not be as simple as a shallow one. What on earth do you think?"
Who is he?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Ah Jiu without trace. She became more and more confused. Murong Fu had an irreconcilable relationship with Ah Jiu. In other words, he had an unusual relationship with the Wangwu Sect. At this moment, another Shenlong Island was involved.
Where did this pretty-looking man come from?
Murong Fu smiled faintly and said nothing.
Ah Jiu said at the right moment, "Sister Qin, in fact, the Wangwu Faction and Shenlong Island are both anti-Qing organizations under the master's command."
"What!" Although Qin Suzhen was a little surprised, she still felt incredible when she actually heard this sentence.
"This is absolutely true. It's just that Master always keeps a low profile and very few people know about it." Ah Jiu nodded solemnly.
Murong Fu glanced at Ah Jiu approvingly and added, "General Qin, if you and others are willing to join Shenlong Island, I can guarantee that you will form an independent army and expand on your own, and all the power will still be in your hands."
Qin Suzhen frowned lightly, "Then what do we need to pay? I don't believe that a pie will fall from the sky and it will hit me on the head."
"As long as you can gallop on the battlefield and kill a few more Qing soldiers in the future, it will be enough." Murong Fu said righteously.
However, Qin Suzhen's expression immediately changed, "Huh, don't think I'm a three-year-old child. What is your purpose? Tell me what your purpose is. I might think about it for a moment and then keep it secretive. I'll forgive you, General, for not accompanying me!"
