Ten thousand people traveled for a whole day, but when night fell, the prince gave the order to rest.
The team also dispersed, setting up camps and lighting fires. After a while, everyone sat together in twos and threes and started chatting.
Of course, there were crowds of people around Young Master Bai, and Wang Feng and other captains were also vying to flatter him, and the good words came one after another.
At this time, Dudu Zhanchen was sitting somewhere else far away, because he knew that he was not in the same category as those people, and in the past he would only bring trouble to himself.
However, the development of the matter once again exceeded everyone's imagination. When Gongzi Bai saw Zhan Chen sitting in the corner, he shouted: Zhan Chen, why are you sitting so far away? Come over and drink together.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, looking at the young master without knowing what he was talking about.
Pang Xie woke up quickly and said to him: Senior Brother Bai, Zhan Chen is just an ordinary warrior, and he is not qualified to sit with us at all.
Yes, yes, other people also said in unison.
After hearing what they said, Young Master Bai suddenly changed his expression and scolded: "We are all brothers and sisters. How can you say such things? Remember, since we all work for the sect, we are all brothers and sisters when we go out. What did you just say?"
Don't let me hear those words again
Young Master Bai's voice was very loud, so everyone sitting around could hear it clearly, and they didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Young Master Bai shouted to Zhan Chen again: Junior Brother Zhan, come here quickly.
Zhan Chen had no choice but to walk over reluctantly.
Come, let's drink together. Young Master Bai first raised the cup in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone also slowly picked up their wine glasses, but the originally lively atmosphere had cooled down.
Zhan Chen was full of doubts. Young Master Bai seemed to be showing favor to him deliberately. Why was this?
But this is good, at least the hostility of those demon cultivators towards him will not be obvious.
This was just a small episode in the march of the team. Next, Young Master Bai gradually showed his outstanding leadership skills and constantly united the team, making the whole army praise him so much and burst into tears of gratitude that they almost sacrificed their lives for him.
After only ten days, the team completely obeyed Mr. Bai's orders. At this time, they just arrived at their destination.
Cuiweiling is one of the many snow-capped mountains and is located in the outer reaches of other mountain ranges. Unfortunately, the road up the mountain is quite rugged and difficult.
In fact, the team only spent eight days on the road, but it took two full days to climb the mountain.
The Cuiwei Mine is hidden in a vast basin in the mountains. It is surrounded by steep mountains and is almost impossible to climb.
But there are thick vegetation growing on those mountains, and the cries of monsters can be heard from time to time. They are not barren lands.
The basin is vast, with dozens of villages scattered around, and there is faint smoke rising from them.
There are only two ways to come, one in front and one in back. As long as you guard the entrance, the Yuanshi mine will not be lost. This is why Sun Yu can persist for a long time with just such a few people.
There are strongholds built at the entrance and exit of the basin. Although they are not strong enough to withstand the attacks of strong men, they are also convenient for standing guard and resting.
As soon as the team approached, someone naturally went to notify Sun Yu. After a while, the village gate was opened, and a short, fat man only six feet tall walked out surrounded by guards.
His face was covered with flesh, and even his eyes were covered, leaving only two narrow gaps, through which two cunning rays of light flashed from time to time.
When the visitor saw Young Master Bai, he immediately smiled and said: Senior Brother Bai, you are finally here, please let us wait easily.
Young Master Bai also showed a humble smile and said: Junior Brother Sun, I have kept you waiting for a long time.
Come in quickly, we have prepared wine and food for you to take a break.
please
After the team entered the village, they were quickly placed in a military camp built not far away.
But Young Master Bai and others were welcomed into a luxurious tent, where wine and barbecue had already been set up.
Everyone sat down according to their seniority. Sun Yu introduced several of his capable subordinates to Young Master Bai, and then announced the banquet. A group of dancers came forward to dance for fun, and beautiful music filled the tent.
Sun Yu picked up the wine glass and toasted to Master Bai non-stop. He also told some romantic stories, which aroused everyone's admiration, but he never mentioned the Yuanshi mine or the garrison.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Young Master Bai couldn't help but ask: Junior Brother Sun, what's going on in the Yuanshi Mine now?
Sun Yu did not answer him immediately, but picked up the wine glass in front of the table, drank it down in one gulp, and then said: Brother Bai, everything is fine in the Yuanshi mine, but the labor force is very insufficient, and not many Yuanshi can be produced.
Oh, can you take me to visit it?
Well, senior brother, you are new here, rest for a few days, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Sun Yu said with a big smile.
Zhan Chen and others listened and understood in their hearts. Sun Yu seemed to be very enthusiastic about them on the surface, but he didn't want anyone to touch his cheese.
Young Master Bai was stunned, but said sternly: The troops have been walking for ten days, and they have to cross mountains and ridges during this period. They really need a good rest, but when I left, Elder Jiang specifically asked me to guard Cui Weiling.
The place is empty, so we don’t dare to rest. Junior Brother Sun, since the mine is fine, you’d better tell me about the cult and the righteous sect.
Seeing that he didn't mention the Yuan Stone Mine, Sun Yu was relieved. Then he pretended to be serious and said: It's rare for Senior Brother Bai to think about our sect so much. Junior Brother, I'm really ashamed.
Speaking of banditry, it has indeed reached a very serious level. The team I originally brought was 10,000 people, but now there are only less than 5,000 people left. Most of them died in the cult.
The person responsible for attacking us is a guy named Fang Lixin. He has the same level of martial arts as me, but his body and footwork are really good. Junior brother, I have been defeated by him several times. It can be said that
Losing troops and generals.
On the other hand, the Righteous Alliance does not have many troops, only about 2,000 people. But their leader is really powerful and has the cultivation level of the Martial Emperor. He can use a big sword with infinite power to break mountains.
In the last battle, I almost died in his hands. Later, when he saw that the people he brought with him suffered heavy losses, he suddenly ordered a retreat.
When Young Master Bai heard this, he smiled and said: Junior Brother Sun, it seems that you need to improve your strength.
Sun Yu smiled sheepishly and said: My ranking among the elite disciples in the sect is only 112th, how can I compare with you, Senior Brother Bai?
After drinking and eating, Sun Yu took Young Master Bai and others to visit the garrison situation at the entrance. Finally, he said to Young Master Bai: Brother Bai, let's do this. Your strength is great and you are best suited for guard work, and my team will be responsible for the mine.
, what do you think of this arrangement?
Wang Feng and others couldn't stand listening anymore. This Sun Yu was simply too greedy. Guarding itself was a hard job, but mining Yuanshi mines obviously had a lot of oil and water, so this arrangement was definitely quite unreasonable.
Unexpectedly, Young Master Bai lowered his head, thought for a while, and said: Well, for the sake of Cui Weiling's safety, I will work a little harder. I just have to be responsible for guarding the front and rear entrances. I'm afraid there are not enough manpower. Let's do this, I think.
It is enough for the person in charge of mining to leave a thousand people. You can hand over all the troops to me. How about
Okay. Sun Yu quickly agreed with a smile, for fear that he would regret it.
After Sun Yu led the people away, Wang Feng from behind hurriedly stepped forward and said: Senior Brother Bai, Sun Yu obviously wants to line his own pockets and monopolize the benefits.
Okay, needless to say, we are new here, how can we do something like a dove and occupy a magpie's nest? Moreover, guarding Cui Weiling is our duty. If we engage in intrigues, the enemy will take advantage of us. Prince Bai Yi gave Wang Feng a stern lesson.
After a pause, he walked away.
Everyone looked at his back and felt angry on his behalf. Some people murmured privately: This Senior Brother Bai is really not very smart. I'm afraid even those so-called righteous warriors have more selfish intentions than him.
