Chapter 53

There was drizzling rain in the sky, and a white mist filled the air.

In the border area between Changhe County and Chongshan County, there is a two-way area that is not clearly divided. There are few people here, and similar places are not uncommon in the Dali Dynasty. After all, the Dali Dynasty has vast mountains and rivers. There are also many wilderness areas.

Wild Wolf Mountain, an originally nameless barren mountain, is located between Changhe County and Chongshan County. Because wild wolves often appear in the mountain, it is called Wild Wolf Mountain by some hunters who happened to pass by.

The mist lingered, and the sound of jingling came from the Wild Wolf Mountain. I don’t know when this inaccessible barren mountain became more populated. One after another mines appeared out of thin air, and miners in tattered clothes kept haunting them, using their backs. Basket after basket of pitch-black ore came out of the mine.

At the entrance of a mine, a simple grass pavilion was built here. It was drizzling, and the miners lined up in a long line, exchanging the ore they dug for a bowl of yellowed miscellaneous grain porridge.

Crash, his feet slipped, and a thin miner with sallow skin lost his footing and fell to the ground, and never got up again.

Looking at such a scene, except for a few miners who sighed, most of the miners were numb. They took a look and then stopped paying attention, and continued to line up to get the porridge.

"Is it dead? Get up quickly if you're not dead."

A gangster who was blind in one eye and with a full face came to the downed miner with two young men.

"unlucky."

He stomped on the miner's face, but found no response, and the gangster spat.

"Old rules, find a place to throw it down."

Glancing at the two subordinates, the gangster spoke.

Hearing this, the two minions did not hesitate, each of them grabbed a foot and quickly dragged the miner's body away, leaving a long and thin trace on the muddy ground.

They have done a lot of this kind of thing. Almost every day, miners are exhausted to death. It is no surprise. Mining is a hard job. Coupled with the lack of food, the task is extremely heavy. Even a strong man is thrown away. It won't be long before you go in and you will be devastated, and once you encounter a mining accident, even more people will die.

For this reason, the Blood Eagle Pirates will send a batch of miners to Wild Wolf Mountain every once in a while, and they use the miners as consumables. It can be said that every piece of cold iron ore recited from these mines is stained Bleeding.

"What do you look at? If you look at me again, I will poach your eyes."

"I have a distinguished guest today. I was supposed to go to the village to drink, eat meat and play with women, but because of you people who are rushing to the street, you want to stay here in the rain. You all have to be careful, and if anything goes wrong, I will cut you alive."

While speaking, saliva flew everywhere, and he took off the whip from his waist, and the gangster randomly whipped it at several nearby miners.

Ah, with a scream, several miners huddled together on the ground, allowing the bandits to whip them, not daring to resist in the slightest. Seeing this scene, the others became even more frightened and lowered their gazes.

Feeling the fear and awe of others, he vented a lot of depression in his heart, retracted his whip, and the gangster walked away contentedly.

Not far away, a figure in the mist watched this scene quietly, and neither the surrounding miners nor the blood eagle bandits turned a blind eye to him.

"There is indeed a cold iron ore vein here. Judging from the current situation, the reserves should be pretty good."

"The Blood Eagle Pirates have discovered this place for a while. Otherwise, the excavation of the mine and the development of the road would not be so fast, but the large-scale mining should have started recently."

"Is it because of the war in Shaoyang County?"

Staying in place, looking at the deep mine, Zhang Chunyi's thoughts kept turning.

When the war broke out, human lives were like nothing. With the wild people knocking on the side, the situation in Shaoyang County was in chaos, and Pingyang County was also affected. Most of the official attention was shifted to the war. Coupled with the heavy snow last year, the situation in Shaoyang County was in chaos. A large number of refugees appeared, and the blood eagle bandits seized this opportunity, gathered a large number of refugees, and sent them to Wild Wolf Mountain for mining.

If they didn't have this opportunity in normal times, once they started, they would soon be targeted by the government, but at this juncture, some insignificant refugees disappeared and no one would notice.

"Guest? Who could it be?"

Thinking of what the gangster said before, the two magics of invisibility and breath-holding were operating, blending with the surrounding clouds and mists, and Zhang Chunyi headed towards the stockade on the mountainside.

After receiving the news from Zhang Zhong, Zhang Chunyi had the idea of ​​exploring it himself. After all, the value of a cold iron vein is still very high, and Zhang Chunyi does not have a good impression of such forces as the blood eagle robbers, but out of caution , Zhang Chunyi did not rush in, but waited for a few days.

When it rained lightly and there was thick fog in the mountains, Zhang Chunyi easily walked into the Wild Wolf Mountain with the help of Hongyun's ability to hide and hold his breath.

Of course, the reason why such a situation occurs is that besides the timing, Zhang Chunyi also played some guiding role. Although the two methods of fog repelling and water gathering are not very good, as long as the timing is right, they can also be used. Can play no small role.

Halfway up the mountain, a cottage with an area of ​​several acres stood, looking down on its territory like a wolf king.

The main body of the cottage is built with logs, but perhaps due to the hasty construction, although the cottage occupies a large area, it is far from exquisite, and can only be described as rough.

The smell of wine was pervasive, Zhang Chunyi could already smell the smell of wine blowing in the wind before he got close.

The gate of the village is wide open, and the defense is unexpectedly loose. Many gangsters are hanging their shoulders together, drinking wine, bragging, and chatting about girls. Today is a rare opportunity for them to relax, so naturally they should enjoy it.

It's all deceitful to be a bandit who likes to drink spicy food. It's very good for these little guys to have a full stomach, and only when they have a rare opportunity like today can they drink and eat meat.

Approaching, looking at such a scene, Zhang Chunyi frowned slightly, and then Yunwu walked slowly into the cottage.

In Juyi Hall, the smell of wine and meat intertwined. Compared with the outside world, this place is much more lively, and there are women's charming laughter coming from it from time to time.

In the hall, a dozen or so people were sitting together, drinking, eating meat, and playing with women. All of them were strong and powerful. It seemed that they had martial arts. In the distance, up a few steps, there is another table.

It's just that there are only two people sitting at this table except for a few women who accompany the wine.

The other person is a small man, about 1.5 meters, about the size of a child, with two mustaches, and a pair of small eyes that flashed from time to time, giving people a feeling of evil eyebrows and mouse eyes. He is Kou Youbo, the third leader of the Blood Eagle Pirates, is known as the Diamond Mountain Leopard.

Although it looks inconspicuous, he is also a cruel and ruthless character with a lot of blood on his hands. He is responsible for the blood eagle bandits mining cold iron ore in Wild Wolf Mountain this time.

And at his feet, a soft couch was spread out with good silk and satin, on which lay a big mouse with gold beard and silver skin, which was about the size of a mountain leopard, its fur was shiny, and it had a demonic aura around it. , It is a monster.

A maid was combing its hair carefully, while another maid fed it with the best bloody lamb from time to time. It was living a better life than many people.
