The next day, Brother Dao pretended to do business and discuss business in the market. After noon, he quietly mixed with Master Liao out of the city and headed towards the Xidu Iron Mine.
There are troops stationed at the Xidu Iron Mine for a long time, and ghosts have been stationed there for a long time, so there are relatively few wild animals around the mine.
The two of them felt guilty and did not dare to go deep into the mine. They just watched the mine from a distance.
Brother Dao: "Master Liao, this iron mine is indeed extraordinary. There are so many soldiers stationed there. If there are no secrets in it, Brother Dao will change its name tomorrow!"
Master Liao shook his head: "Brother Scar is even worse."
Brother Dao smiled awkwardly.
Master Liao played with the dark red stone in his hand and suddenly asked: "Do you know what this is?"
As a businessman, Brother Dao had a very good eye, so he blurted out: "Iron, hey, this seems to be ordinary iron ore, there is nothing different about it."
Master Liao nodded: "It is indeed ordinary iron ore, but this only makes the problem more clear. This ore was left by the coolies who transported the ore. Basically, they transported this kind of ordinary ore. Obviously, mysterious heavenly materials and earthly treasures are rare.
.”
Brother Dao asked curiously: "Is it possible that it's not this mine?"
Master Liao said angrily: "If it weren't for the strict guards, what I mean is that the mysterious gold and stone materials are very rare, which coincides with my guess."
Brother Dao smiled sheepishly: "Master, I have great opinions, but I am stupid."
On the first day, the two of them gained a lot and rushed back excitedly.
The next day, Brother Dao did not go, and Master Liao went alone. Brother Dao was a little worried at first, but after several days in a row, Master Liao came back safely, so he felt relieved.
One day, Master Liao came back in the evening and gave him an unexpected surprise.
Master Liao brought a small piece of extremely hard stuff.
"Master Liao, what is this?"
Master Liao hissed and lowered his voice: "This thing is called steel. It is a very rare treasure of heaven and earth. It is used to forge the hundred-refined magic weapon, and iron tools become hard and sharp because of it!"
When Brother Dao heard this, he was so happy that his hand that touched the small iron block couldn't help but trembled: "Master Liao, are you serious about this? Have we really discovered King Xi's secret?"
I can't help but Brother Dao is excited. This is a huge achievement. Although he is not the first to do this, the first is Master Liao in front of him, but he is also an important participant. The king will definitely not forget him when the time comes.
Maybe he will be able to make a big contribution from covering up his wife and children.
Master Liao was possessed by an actor at the moment, so he naturally wanted to perform well, so he said proudly: "If you don't believe me, try it. Use your bronze sword to cut him, but don't inject vitality!"
When Brother Dao heard this, he thought it made sense, and immediately took out the sword from his waist. This bronze sword was his treasure, and he usually cherished it closely. But at this moment, he didn't feel any distress at all. He raised the sword and pointed at the small piece of steel on the stone slab.
Cut it off.
Sonorous!
Gold and stone clashed, and sparks flew everywhere.
Brother Dao ignored his numb hands due to shock and quickly looked at his bronze sword. He was shocked when he saw that there was a gap in the bronze sword.
Looking at the small piece of steel on the stone slab, not only was it not damaged by knocks, there were no obvious scars. There was only a mark. If you pinch it with your hand, the mark is not obvious.
Unscathed!
Brother Dao looked at the small piece of steel in front of him with a surprised look on his face, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.
This time, he was completely convinced and had nothing to say.
Master Liao saw the shocked expression on Brother Dao's face and felt that the heat was about the same, so he quickly put away the small piece of steel and put it away carefully and carefully.
"Alright, don't talk too much about today's affairs, and keep your mouth shut. When we return to Izumo Country, I will definitely not forget to express my merits to the king for you."
Brother Dao looked excited and said with great gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for your love. I will never forget it. Don't worry, I know how powerful it is, and I will keep it secret. That...Master, you have this natural treasure called steel."
Where did it come from?”
Master Liao nodded with satisfaction: "I used my secret method to charm a laborer and then got a small piece. It is said that this thing is indeed very rare. The miners in Xidu dig day and night, but they can't dig out much in a day."
!”
Brother Dao was a little disappointed. If this was the case, the credit was not as great as expected: "Is the number really that rare?"
Master Liao pondered for a while and said: "Generally speaking, they are very rare, but the number should be considerable. I estimate that Xidu can create two or three hundred-refined magic weapons every month, which is already quite good."
Brother Dao felt relieved after hearing this and nodded in agreement.
"Master, can we go back home?" Brother Dao was eager to return home.
Master Liao shook his head: "No, everything remains as usual, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion. I will go to the mine for the last time tomorrow to have a look, and you can continue to do business!"
"That's what the master said."
Brother Dao didn't think there was anything wrong there, so he nodded in agreement.
One night passed, Brother Dao was doing business as usual, walking through the bustling market. After a busy day, he returned to the caravan station.
At this time, all the caravan members came back. Brother Dao looked around for Master Liao, but he couldn't find him.
For a moment, Brother Dao couldn't help but have an unpleasant feeling in his heart. Master Liao must have returned at this time in the past, why is there no news this time?
Everyone in the caravan was ready to rest, but Brother Dao was still restless, standing at the door looking left and right.
Not long after, Brother Dao, who was restless and restless, felt a powerful aura approaching. He was startled and just wanted to run away, but soon, a giant ax struck at him.
"I am the commander of Cangman in Xidu, and I have been ordered by the king to capture the spies!"
The Izumo caravan suddenly became boiling, and then it was useless. Soon, a large group of Xidu soldiers surrounded the yard and blocked the courtyard.
Brother Dao's face changed drastically, and he felt bad in his heart. Master Liao was discovered, and then they were finished!
Cangman took the lead, raised his ax and struck at Brother Dao.
Brother Dao's strength was not as good as Cangman's, and his confusion at this time affected his fighting ability even more. After a few rounds, the bronze sword in Brother Dao's hand broke, and Cangman kicked him and knocked him to the ground.
Brother Dao spit out a mouthful of blood, and the vitality protection was shattered. This kick hit him hard on the chest, breaking the bones at once, and the blood and vitality in his body were in chaos.
"Get him!"
Cang Man looked angry, turned around and said: "Take them all, confiscate all the goods and money of the Izumo caravan, put them in prison, and wait for the king's fate!"
The Izumo caravan was no match for the wolf-like and tiger-like warriors of Xidu. Before long, everyone was killed or captured. All goods and money were plundered and put into the treasury of Xidu.
The incident at night quickly caused a huge change. Countless caravans from other places were concerned and asked for news everywhere.
As the victim, Brother Dao knelt in front of Yao Yun with a look of horror.
"King Xi, spare your life~ We were also obsessed for a moment, so please spare our lives for the sake of the Izumo Kingdom, your Majesty!"
