After lunch, the 500 soldiers of the Black Armored Army rested for half an hour, then left Yicheng, continued to set off, drove more than 300 miles in one breath, and finally arrived at the destination outside Huafeng City in the evening The 'Tielian Mountain' in China is where the gold mine is located.
Tielian Mountain is a large mountain with a radius of nearly ten miles. Of course, it is much smaller than Dayan Mountain.
However, there is a rich gold mine in Tielian Mountain, which is Gui Yuanzong's biggest source of income today.
At the foot of Tielian Mountain, hundreds of people gathered. The two leaders were similar in appearance. They were welcoming the five hundred soldiers of the Black Armored Army who came from Jiangning County.
"Haha, Junior Brother Bai Qi!" Long Yuan, one of the two leaders shouted loudly.
Commander Bai Qi led five hundred soldiers and finally arrived.
"Senior Brother Gui Tao, Senior Brother Gui Qing." Bai Qi also jumped off the horse, smiling and cupping his hands.
Brothers Gui Tao and Gui Qing, who are over 40 years old now, are the famous "Gui Family Double Swords" of Gui Yuanzong, and the younger brother "Gui Tao" is a commander of the Black Armored Army. The eldest brother 'Gui Qing' is the lord of Huafeng City, and his strength is no less than his younger brother.
The grandfather of the two brothers is the elder of Guiyuanzong, whose strength is unfathomable, and these two are the mainstays of the Gui family. In Guiyuanzong, there are also many descendants of the Gui family, and most people dare not bully them Children of the Gui family.
"Brother Bai Qi, these horses can't go up the mountain. Leave these horses to me for now." Gui Qing laughed.
"Haha, for the past three months, I need my brother to help take care of these horses." Bai Qi said.
"It should." Gui Qing waved his hand, and many soldiers and guards behind him immediately ran over and began to lead the horses. More than 500 war horses were gathered at the foot of the mountain, and some soldiers and guards in Huafeng City helped to guard and take care of them.
"Go, go up the mountain!"
Immediately, Teng Qingshan and his group all went up the mountain.
…
Teng Qingshan walked with the other four centurions.
"This Tielian Mountain is the greatest treasure of our Yuanzong! Even the 'Qinghu Island', everyone is greedy for this treasure mountain, but it's useless to be greedy, this treasure mountain is in our Jiangning County." The five centurions Du Hong, the oldest among them, praised, "There is gold hidden in this mountain."
"What is gold? There is a small purple gold mine deep in the gold mine." The tall and thin Wan Fanxiang said.
"Purple Gold Mine?" Teng Qingshan asked, "What is that?"
On the way, Teng Qingshan probably knew about the situation of the Tielian Mountain Gold Mine, but he didn't know about the Zijin Mine.
Tian Dan next to him said: "Brother Qingshan, this gold mine is very large, and of course it is not easy to pan for gold, but there is a place deep in the gold mine, where there is no gold, and there is purple gold! Zijin, the legendary Qinling Emperor The "Heavenly Sword" that commanded the world back then was made of purple gold! Tsk tsk, one tael of purple gold is equivalent to one hundred taels of gold, and purple gold is very heavy. Ten thousand taels of gold! It is a priceless treasure."
"The weapons of the Qinling Heavenly Emperor are made of rotten iron, and they are all priceless treasures." Someone beside him said.
"Actually, purple gold is not suitable for making weapons. Although the emperor of Qinling has a heavenly sword, the emperor of Qinling mountains makes weapons with the palm of his hands. The 'heavenly sword' just represents his status. In terms of hardness, purple gold is worse than black iron! But , Zijin symbolizes status and respect, and some rich merchants, or the suzerains of various sects, also like to use purple gold, which is very honorable." The tall and thin Wan Fanxiang said.
Teng Qingshan benefited a lot from hearing this.
The reason Zijin is precious is because of face!
The majestic Emperor of Qinling, from ancient times to the present, Emperor Yu and Emperor of Qinling have unified the world. Emperor Yu built Jiuding, and Jiuding became a symbol of Kyushu. Everyone worships, and Emperor of Qinling used rare purple gold to cast the "Heavenly Sword" to command the world. , that purple gold is extremely precious.
If you use Zijin, you will save face!
"Junior Bai Qi, I heard that this time for the centurion contest, there was a sixteen-year-old man named Teng Qingshan, oh, he should be seventeen years old now, and he lost many people in a row, even the proud disciple of the senior Wei Wuya, Yue Yue. Song' was also defeated by him, I heard he is in your camp?"
The voice coming from ahead made Teng Qingshan raise his head involuntarily.
Bai Qi and the Gui family brother were walking together, at this moment Bai Qi turned around and walked over with the Gui family brother.
"Brothers, you all know these four. This newcomer is Teng Qingshan!" .”
The Lord of Huafeng City 'Gui Qing', upon seeing Teng Qingshan, immediately smiled warmly and said: "Brother Qingshan, I have heard of your name in Huafeng City. Haha... he is about the same age as Junior Brother Yun, and his strength is also It’s so amazing. In my opinion, when I return to Yuanzong in the future, I will rely on Junior Brother Yun, you, and Junior Brother Zang Feng.”
Shirasaki Tsutomu's face suddenly darkened.
"Brother, Junior Brother Bai Qi's strength is also improving by leaps and bounds now! I heard that his "Nine Spears of the Chaoyang" is almost completed, and his strength is comparable to that of Junior Brother Zang Feng. It is estimated that there is not much difference." Gui Tao said with a smile.
Bai Qi Tutong then smiled and said: "My "Nine Spears of the Chaoyang", a few days ago, I watched the rising sun on Longgang, and I occasionally realized it. The last difficulty of "Nine Spears of the Chaoyang" has been solved. With more time to practice, you will be able to master it. Of course, compared with Senior Brother Zang Feng, I am still slightly inferior." Although he said it humbly, there was a hint of color on his face.
"Nine Guns of the Chaoyang" has fully understood, and Shirasaki is also quite complacent.
In his opinion, even if he compares with the leader of the younger generation 'Zang Feng', he is afraid that he is about the same. But for the sake of humility, he didn't dare to say too much.
"Oh? Congratulations, Junior Brother." Gui Tao and Gui Qing were really surprised.
"By the way, Junior Brother, what are the arrangements for guarding the gold mine?" Gui Tao said, "This matter should be settled tonight. Tomorrow morning, my battalion will return to Jiangning County!"
"Naturally." Bai Qi turned around and ordered, "Tian Dan, you lead a hundred soldiers under your command to be in charge of the first area of the gold mine!"
"Yes." Tian Dan bowed.
"Du Hong, you lead a hundred soldiers under your command to be in charge of the second area in the south of the gold mine!"
"Yes." Du Hong bowed.
"Liu He! You lead a hundred soldiers under your command to be in charge of the third area in the west of the gold mine!"
"Yes!" The short Liu He bowed.
"Wan Fanxiang, you lead a hundred soldiers under your command to be in charge of the last fourth area of the gold mine!"
"Yes!" The tall and thin Wan Fanxiang bowed.
At this time, among the five centurions, only Teng Qingshan was not appointed.
Gui Qing, who was standing next to him, said in surprise, "Junior Brother, you plan to let Brother Qingshan lead the troops to be in charge of the Zijin mining area? Brother Qingshan is leading the army for the first time, and it is also the first time he has come to garrison. He is not very familiar with it yet. Let me see... change someone else. "
"No need! Qingshan is quite strong, I believe he is doing well." Bai Qi all looked at Teng Qingshan, "Qingshan, right?"
Teng Qingshan surrendered and took the order.
…
The next day, Commander Gui Tao led five hundred soldiers under his command and set off back to Jiangning County City, while Teng Qingshan and his group were stationed at Tielian Mountain. In fact, in addition to the Black Armored Army sergeants, there were nearly a thousand soldiers from Huafeng City and Yicheng to assist in the garrison.
However, the Zijin mining area has a heavy responsibility, and ordinary soldiers and guards are not allowed to intervene.
In Gui Yuanzong's eyes, the Heijia Army is the most trustworthy.
…
In the early morning, Teng Qingshan was walking on Tielian Mountain, where there were many Black Armored Army soldiers, guards, and hard workers panning and sifting gold.
"Purple gold is extremely precious. One tael of purple gold is equal to one hundred taels of gold, which is ten thousand taels of silver! Ordinary civilians only earn a dozen or twenty taels of silver a year. One tael of purple gold, they can't earn it in their entire lives! Purple gold touches people's hearts, There are quite a few people who are desperate for Zijin." After performing the garrison mission for a day, Teng Qingshan fully understood that it is a bad job to be stationed in the Zijin mining area! Very hard!
If you protect it well and nothing goes wrong, that is your duty, and there will be no rewards.
However, if something goes wrong, you are in default of responsibility and will be punished!
Therefore, the 'Zijin Mining Area' is a hot potato, and it is hard work to be stationed here.
"This Bai Qi, it seems that he is really targeting me to the end." Teng Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, and accelerated towards the east.
"My lord!" The guards at the side and the sergeants of the Black Armored Army saw Teng Qingshan and saluted respectfully.
Teng Qingshan nodded slightly and continued to move forward.
As a martial artist, you have to practice hard every day. If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you rely on your strength.
Morning exercises in the morning have almost become the habit of the sergeants of the Black Armored Army. Of course, the centurions and the governors will also do morning exercises.
"Haha...Old Du, although your gun is powerful and heavy, it lacks a lot in speed. You still have to practice hard." Hearing proud laughter came from the east, Teng Qingshan immediately It was recognized that this was Shirasaki Touto's voice. When he got closer, Teng Qingshan saw—
In the distance, the other four centurions and Bai Qi were all there.
Among them, Du Hong even fell to the ground, and stood up holding his gun at the moment, as if his leg was injured.
"Competition?" Teng Qingshan smiled.
In the Black Armored Army, the centurion, the commander, and the commander are all top-notch warriors. In order to improve their strength, the Black Armor Army allows the centurion, the commander, and the commander to compete with each other. Of course, there is one premise—no killing is allowed.
"Qingshan, we are all doing morning exercises, why are you here now?" Tian Dan shouted from afar. Among the five commanders, he has the best relationship with Teng Qingshan.
"I practiced marksmanship in my residence for a while." Teng Qingshan walked over with the reincarnation spear, and then looked at Bai Qidutong with a smile, "Bai Qidutong's marksmanship is really good, even Lao Du is no match! Gun" has been completed, I don't know if I dare to compete with my subordinates?"
Teng Qingshan's voice was loud and clear, and many black-armored army sergeants, ordinary soldiers and some laborers around him heard it.
dare
The 'dare' and 'willing' have two meanings.
Teng Qingshan asked 'Dare', the meaning of provocation is too strong, if Bai Qi refuses to agree, it means that he dare not compete with Teng Qingshan, a warrior has no guts, and will be secretly hidden in the Black Armor Army ridiculed.
"Brother Qingshan is really ruthless." Tian Dan and the other four centurions all laughed secretly.
Many Black Armored Army sergeants around watched this scene with bright eyes.
Master Shirasaki, do you dare
And Bai Qidutong's face turned red, and then he laughed and said: "Teng Qingshan! You have lost several people in a row in the centurion competition at a young age, and it is normal to be arrogant, but today I am the Dutong , I’ll let you know what is beyond the sky!”
