Martial arts long journey

Chapter 41
Just when Zhou Yan agreed to accept the 2000 taels of silver, Han An couldn't help but smile brightly on his dark and broad face.

Obviously, Han An was very satisfied that Zhou Yan could give him this face and accepted the 2000 taels of snowflake silver.

For Han An, who made a living by plundering caravans, although the 2000 taels of silver was valuable, it was nothing more than his harvest from several plunders.

However, the concentrated ore that Zhou Yan brought that can be used to forge weapons is different.

Even though Han An had enough silver in his hands, it was a pity that because of his status as a bandit in Ailao Mountain, he had no way to buy these concentrates.

As long as a solid interest relationship can be established with Zhou Yan so that Han An can have a channel to buy concentrate, then Han An doesn't care about the 2000 taels of silver at all.

If Han An is like this, Zhou Yan will not take the 2000 taels of silver seriously.

2000 taels of silver is not a small amount at first, but if measured by the more expensive pure gold, even one tael of pure gold cannot be exchanged.

How could Zhou Yan, who was holding hundreds of thousands of taels of red gold tickets, see this little silver in his eyes?
Moreover, Zhou Yan also understood Han An's desire to make friends with him, and he also needed Han An's medicine pills and other cultivation resources, so he accepted the 2000 taels of silver without hesitation.

However, Zhou Yandao didn't intend to take advantage of Han An all the time, and just delivered more concentrates to Han An next time. After all, reciprocity can make the friendship between the two deeper.

"Mr. Han won't delay Mr. Zhou any longer. After all, the night is getting dark, and Mr. Han still needs to transport these concentrates away!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Han An laughed and said.

While speaking, he greeted the man surnamed Huang and another big man, and began to push those boxes of concentrated ore down the cliff.

"You two also go to help Han Zhuangshi."

Seeing such a situation, Zhou Yan also smiled and gave instructions to brothers Xu Huang and Xu Xiong.

After all, Zhou Yan received 2000 taels of silver from him, so it is naturally impossible to stand by and watch, and it is also appropriate to help out.

Although each box contains a thousand jins of concentrated ore, the two brothers Xu Wang and Xu Xiong, as well as the two strong men behind Han An are not ordinary people, and they all have martial arts in the realm of body forging strength.

With the joint efforts of the four of them, it didn't take long for them to push all the ten wooden boxes containing the concentrate to the bottom of the cliff.

"Young Master Zhou, Mr. Han still needs to transport those concentrates, so let's not pass it!"

In the darkness below the cliff, after a whistle sounded like a nightingale's cry, Han An immediately strode up to Zhou Yan and said with a light smile.

"This is the good wine that Mr. Han promised Mr. Zhou, and please take it away, but Mr. Han has no chance to drink with Mr. Zhou!"

Then, Han An untied a wine gourd from his waist, handed it to Zhou Yan and said, "When Han is free, I will set up a table for Mr. Zhou to thank you for your help!"

"Okay, then I will wait for Han Zhuangshi's invitation!"

After receiving the wine gourd in his hand, Zhou Yan laughed and said.

Afterwards, he took Xu Wang and Xu Xiong and turned back towards Zhou's mine.

And Han An and the two big men also got on their horses and galloped towards the depths of the night.

"Go, find out the details of those people.

Although Han An and the others were riding horses, they were dragged down by the [-] jin of concentrate, so their speed was definitely much faster. You still have time to go back now.

Remember, be careful and don't get caught. ! "

After the two sides walked in opposite directions for a certain distance, Zhou Yan suddenly stopped, turned around and gave instructions to Xu Huang.

"Don't worry, son, the villain understands!"

After Xu Wang nodded solemnly, he took advantage of the night and sneaked back to pursue Han An and the two big men, while Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong continued to walk back towards Zhou's mine.

.........

Suddenly, seven days had passed since the first transaction between Zhou Yan and Han An ended.

During these seven days, although Xu Wang went to follow Han An and the others, he did not take care of the Zhou family's mine.

However, because of Xu Xiong's existence, there was no disturbance at all in the mine, and all the miners were under the supervision of the supervisor, mining and smelting honestly.

At noon on the eighth day, when Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong were having lunch, a burst of quick footsteps suddenly sounded from the courtyard where Zhou Yan lived.

Since coming to this Zhou family's mine, Zhou Yan has lived in seclusion and diligently practiced martial arts.

Except for Zhou Yan's permission, only brothers Xu Wang and Xu Xiong can enter and leave the courtyard where he lives in the entire Zhou Family Mine.

Now Xu Xiong is sitting next to Zhou Yan, so there will be no one else in the footsteps except Xu Wang, who is going to investigate the details of Han An and the others.

"Squeak!"

Sure enough, with the sound of pushing the door, Xu Wang's dusty face immediately appeared in Zhou Yan's eyes.

"Deacon Xu, sit down, drink some water, and take a rest!"

Slowly putting down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, Zhou Yan said softly.

And Xu Xiong, who was the first one under Zhou Yan, got up quickly to get a cup of hot tea for his elder brother Xu Wang.

"Goooooooooo!"

Xu Wang took the tea bowl that was handed over, he didn't care whether the tea was hot or not, he just drank the tea in the bowl like a cow.

Running around without sleep for seven consecutive days made Xu Wang's mouth dry already.

"The villain has failed everyone's expectations, and he hasn't found any important information at all."

After drinking a whole pot of tea, Xu Wang relieved a lot of exhaustion, lowered his head and reported to Zhou Yan in a low voice: "That Han is definitely not an ordinary bandit!

If the bandits in Ailao Mountain were a mob, then the men surnamed Han are definitely elite soldiers and strong generals. They all use iron spears and spears as weapons. The whole village is like a military town with iron walls.

If the villain hadn't been following the young master's orders and being careful, he might have been discovered by them long ago. "

"Deacon Xu is tired. I have already handed over [-]% of the cultivation resources to Xu Xiong. Go down and rest first!"

After listening to Xu Wang's narration, Zhou Yan said to him with a smile on his face.

As soon as Zhou Yan's words fell, Xu Wangdang even felt light on his body, as if all the previous fatigue suddenly disappeared.

"The villain will retreat first!"

He cupped his hands and bowed to Zhou Yan, then hurriedly dragged Xu Xiong along to find the [-]% cultivation resources.

"Interesting, unusual weapon? A heavily guarded cottage? A large amount of refined ore? It seems that Han Zhuangshi has hidden a lot of things! Really interesting!"

After the figures of the two brothers from the Xu family disappeared in the courtyard, Zhou Yan tapped his knuckles on the table again while murmuring thoughtfully.
