Shan Hongyun looked at the chaos in the distance, swinging the wine cup in his hand, and said leisurely to Shan Ping beside him, "Look, the scenery is not bad, right? Everyone in the world is stupid, thinking that they are the ones playing chess.
, Little do you know, you are just a chess piece in the hands of others."
Behind him, standing was Qing Wu disguised as Shan Ping.
Shan Hongyun seems to be in a good mood today.
He speaks softly and has no trace of his usual irritability.
"It's almost time, and several family heads are already waiting." Qingwu said.
"Let's go."
After taking the last sip of wine, Shan Hongyun turned around and left in a good mood.
After a stick of incense.
"Everyone is here, please take a seat."
In the reception room.
All the heads of the five noble families gathered.
The head of the Shan family, Shan Hongyun.
The head of the Chang family, Chang Wei.
Manage the household and the head of the house, and manage repairs.
The head of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Dun.
The head of the Le family, Le Jing.
The five noble leaders gathered together.
Shan Hongyun naturally sat in the first place, exchanged a few words of greetings, and then turned to the main topic.
"The plan went well and we can proceed to the next step."
"Speed up, that guy is impatient."
"The iron mine is sending more manpower and it must be completed within half a month."
"Right now, the guild has suffered heavy losses, and the Central Army is also under our control. We just need to solve the problem of refugees and it will be complete."
Chang Wei frowned, "Although civilians are easy to incite, it's hard to control them if we let so many refugees over."
Xiahou Dun crossed his legs and said, "I say, Master Chang, you are too cautious. Even if those untouchables pay tens of thousands more, what will they do? Aren't they being fooled by our single governor? Once the plague dissipates, they will
They will all die, and then they will be blamed on the Central Army and the Guild, and they can also take us out. This will not only attack the Central Army and the Guild, but we can also successfully take over the power in their hands. What else do you have to worry about?"
At this moment, Ling Xuewei was listening to their conversation through the monitoring screen.
Xiao stood behind her, and she moved the tea cup with her hand, scratching the tea leaves little by little, with a faint look in her eyes.
"Don't forget, Han Zhen still has a piece of evidence in his hand."
Chang Wei reminded, "Han Zhen is a man of foresight. If you underestimate him, you will suffer a big loss."
Xiahou Dun didn't know what he thought of, and his face darkened.
"Humph! Even so, but he is a prisoner now, what else can he do?" Yue Jing's tone was flattering. "Master Shan, what do you think?"
His tone was flattering.
Shan Hongyun took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "You don't need to worry about this, that person's men will be here soon."
When several people heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up!
"You mean...that adult is here?"
"really?"
Ling Xuewei's face darkened.
From just now to now, they mentioned "that person" many times, with such respectful tone that it was difficult for Ling Xuewei not to pay attention.
Could it be that...the driving force behind all this is not the five nobles?
At this moment, someone hurriedly came in to report.
"Seriously?" Shan Hongyun stood up suddenly with excitement on his face.
"Is the Imperial Master here?"
The other four people also looked excited. Shan Hongyun was the first to say, "Let's go!" He went out to greet him in person, and several others followed closely behind!
Shan Ping followed at the end, raised his hand and tapped his ear, and followed suit.
Master of the State?
Ling Xuewei immediately controlled the micro bee to follow.
Soon I saw several people respectfully surrounding a person who appeared. The person was wrapped from head to toe under a large purple mink velvet cloak, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
It wasn't until they entered the main hall that the visitor took off his cloak and handed it to the person accompanying him.
Revealing an old and familiar face.
"It turned out to be him..."
Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect that the "adult" they were talking about would be Hall.
Four years ago, Ling Xuewei had an encounter with him in the Western Sea, the national preceptor of the Western Regions, Hall.
He is also Ji Mingzhao's right-hand man. In the entire West Sea, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. Now, he will appear in Fuzhou!
Hall is from Ji Mingzhao. Could it be that Ji Mingzhao is the driving force behind this?!
If this is the case, the matter is serious.
Ling Xuewei's frown deepened.
I originally thought it was just a civil commotion, but I didn't expect it to involve the Western Regions!
But why does Ji Mingzhao have anything to do with these people? Fuzhou is a small place, and it is tens of thousands of miles away from the West Sea. With Ji Mingzhao’s status and power, how could Ji Mingzhao be interested in this place? It is not a fortress in the Eastern Region, nor is it an important military location.
, even if he really wanted to plot something, he should have more choices.
Could it be that there is something she doesn't know about?
Soon, the conversation over there gave her the answer.
It turned out that it was because a kind of mithril was discovered under an iron mine in Fuzhou. This kind of mithril is a precious material for forging high-quality steel armor, and its value is immeasurable. And the iron ore is not an ordinary iron ore.
It is steel and fine iron, which is four to five times stronger than ordinary fine iron!
These two places, no matter which one, are definitely treasures that make people jealous!
Because it can arm the most powerful army!
The former casts armor, the latter forges weapons!
Ling Xuewei finally understood why this small Fuzhou attracted the Xihai Imperial Master to come all the way.
Even if there is any force, I am afraid that they will not be able to leave this treasure untouched.
"It is truly an honor for us to have the Imperial Preceptor personally visit us..."
Hall waved his hand, "Needless to say, I came here this time to inspect the goods under the command of my Lord. Where are the things?"
"My lord, please come this way."
Shan Hongyun personally led the way and led several people to the back room.
He sent all the servants and guards out, opened a secret compartment, and led them underground.
Take the secret ladder and go all the way down.
The heavy sound of machinery and wheels could be heard in their ears. After about a stick of incense, the secret staircase stopped, and a door appeared in front of them.
The door of this room is made of black iron, which is extremely heavy and thick. The iron door is round in shape and four feet high, giving people a feeling of heavy oppression. On the outside of the iron door, nine giant dragons are entangled and lying.
Shan Hongyun walked up to him and took out something from his storage ring. They were nine keys. He inserted the keys into the dragon's mouth respectively. It turned out that the dragon's mouth had a keyhole. Only by inserting the keys at the same time could the key be unlocked.
Open the iron door.
Soon, with the crisp sound of the key turning, the nine dragons suddenly seemed to come alive and began to rotate and swim on the iron door, and then the iron door opened from the middle...
The door opened.
"Sir, please."
The group of people entered and saw an empty underground warehouse.
It's like a palace, incredibly big.
And there are countless amounts of fine steel and mithril piled up here! They are piled up into mountains, there are dozens of them! It looks like they are at least thirty or forty tons!
Hall stepped forward, holding several pieces of mithril in his hand and looking through them.
The mithril is gleaming when held in the hand, and looks like a diamond. Each piece is at least as big as a palm, and the big one is one meter high!
