Chapter 33 Alchemy 4
Everyone formed a circle, the old mine head, the second son, and the actor were all there, but Su Mingcheng was missing.

Su Mingcheng's identity is a bit special and has no actual relationship with this mine, and the news this time was sent by Zhongyitang. As a member of Xinletang, he is really not suitable to attend.

Another reason is that Su Duo mainly accompanied the two military advisers. There are too many secrets here, whether it is the things in the shed or the Lingyan cave, it is not suitable for outsiders to know.

"What do you guys think?" Xie Xiaoyu would not speak first as usual, he had to listen to other people's thoughts first.

Unlike usual, this time everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one could speak.

"Miner, you are the oldest, you come first." Xie Xiaoyu could only call the names.

The old man's mouth squirmed twice, he seemed hesitant to speak, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence.

"Otherwise, this mine will be thrown away for nothing. Human life is more important than money." The old mine head felt sorry for the 400 million taels of silver, but when he thought of the shed, he felt that the silver was nothing.

"I'm afraid this can't be done. Do you still remember the person who sold the ore you met in the mining association? I suspect that this person got the news in advance, so he sold the mine and ran away early. Since the government and the mining association have formulated this Rules, I must have thought that someone would abandon the mine, so I should have taken precautions." Although Xie Xiaoyu didn't ask about the specific situation, she could guess a little bit.

"It's really not possible, maybe you can consider joining the Loyalty Hall." The second son suggested from the side.

Anyone with a little bit of experience can guess that the two military advisers from the Loyalty Hall made a special trip here, and they definitely didn't just come here to tip off the news.

At the entrance of the lobby like Zhongyi Hall, it is too easy to find a few people to take over the mine.

The second son kept winking at the uncle. He thought that the uncle, a member of the Loyalty Hall, would help persuade him.

The uncle was completely indifferent, he knew Xie Xiaoyu's views on Zhongyitang better than anyone else, if he really had to seek refuge, Xie Xiaoyu would only seek refuge in Xinletang.

"Brother, what are you going to do? I don't care what other people decide? I will definitely follow you." The uncle said very simply with his arms folded,

"So do we. Wherever you go, we will go too." Li Jinbao was the leader of the gang, so when he spoke, the other boys nodded.

"The three major evils in Tianbao Prefecture - miasma, monsters, and barbarians. I have seen the first two. The miasma has been resolved and is no longer a threat. I have seen a lot of monsters and killed a lot. Now there are only savages left, and I am planning to find a chance to see them."

Xie Xiaoyu pretended to be full of confidence. He knew very well that if he had no confidence, others would certainly have no confidence.

"Are you planning to respond to the call?" Er Zi was taken aback.

"I have already asked, the strongest characters in the barbarians are only at the level of a true king, and the number is very small, not even ten. I have not seen any trace of these people in the previous barbarian sieges. , The most you can see are barbarian kings who are at the same level as real people, and there are many real people in the government and mining clubs, and we don’t suffer in this regard.” Xie Xiaoyu can do nothing but cheer up.

"But those three cities were still breached, and everyone was killed." Er Zi said with lingering fear.

"That's common people. Are all the monks in charge of defense dead?" Xie Xiaoyu asked, and he was sure that the second son would not be able to answer.

Sure enough, the second son shook his head. In the past, he and the monk belonged to two worlds, and it was difficult to see a monk at ordinary times.

"As long as you are fully prepared, even if you can't fight, you can always protect yourself. If you can't stand it, we will run away." Xie Xiaoyu still said on the bright side.

Secretly, he knew it well.

Fighting is far from easy as he said.

A team of [-] people release magical weapons at the same time, even the real kings have to avoid their sharp edge, the real people will definitely be smashed into pieces, not to mention that there are other means available in war, such as war beasts, and formations.Therefore, only comparing the number of people on both sides, and only comparing the number of masters on both sides, is not accurate at all.

It's not that simple to escape. Since the opponent dared to attack the city, they must have an advantage in numbers, and they are scattered around.If they want to escape, they have to avoid countless pairs of eyes in the bright and dark places, and also escape possible pursuit. The local barbarians must be much more familiar with this land than they are.

What's more troublesome is that the danger not only comes from the front, but more likely from the back.Since the Liu family in Anyang can bribe the government and mining clubs, they can also bribe the generals who command the war.

"War if you fight, we will follow you." Li Jinbao said loudly.

Those boys were more excited than each other. They didn't think the battlefield was dangerous at all, but they thought it was a place for men to make contributions.

"Tell me, what preparations do you need?" The uncle also made up his mind. He is a person who has actually been on the battlefield, and he also fought against the barbarians. He is actually the calmest among this group of people.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't answer right away, but asked first, "When will this battle start?"

"At least until autumn." Er Zi said hastily.

"The soil barbarians live a life of slash-and-burn farming. They don't grow enough, and they have to hunt to get enough food, so they have to wait until the harvest in autumn before doing it. Anyway, there are few prey in winter. People will die if they fight, and they will die if they don't fight. Starve to death." The uncle added from the side.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoyu immediately understood that this battle was not easy to fight, and the local barbarians were afraid that they would all die.

"There are still a few months, and there is enough time." He pretended to be relaxed and said: "Next, I will teach you some things, mainly evasion methods. If you can't beat them, you can escape easily. I will also refine some medicines. Come out, if you are lucky, your cultivation base will be raised by another level, so that the chances of survival will be even greater. I will also take you into the valley to let you get familiar with how to fight. There are many other things that need to be done. For you, each person must have at least two sets of battle clothes and two magic weapons."

As he spoke, Xie Xiaoyu's mind became clearer.

He turned his head and said to the old mine boss: "Uncle He, you go to Linhai City to confirm the dispatch of troops. If possible, make the matter a big one, let everyone know that the Liu family in Anyang is bullying others, and force the higher-ups to give an explanation." , Either remove us from the list, or exempt from this year's payment quota."

"This is necessary." The old mine head said confidently, even if Xie Xiaoyu didn't mention it, he would make a big fuss.

"Then ask for some more benefits. How many storage bags are needed, at least one for each person here, and two large storage bags for the army."

He turned his head and said to Erzi and Xizi, "You two should work hard too. Next, I plan to expand the shed. When Uncle He goes to the city, he will bring back a few baskets of eggs. We will raise more chickens before autumn. After leaving the battlefield, we only eat what we eat, and I don't want to be tampered with what I eat."

"Don't worry, little brother." The second son replied, he knew he couldn't do anything else, so it's good to be able to help.

"The two aunts and sister Xi'er also have work to do, I need your help in weaving and tailoring." Xie Xiaoyu said to the three women again.

In the end he turned back, and the uncle's side was the real key.

"I'll give you a list, and you go talk to those two people in the Loyalty Hall. Next, I'm going to refine medicine, which requires a lot of medicinal materials. You ask them if they are willing to make this deal? The medicine that is refined will be divided [-]-[-]. "

The uncle wondered: "Why don't you ask yourself? This way you won't be at a disadvantage."

Xie Xiaoyu hadn't answered yet, the old mine boss smiled and said: "This is the trick of doing business, with that Su Tuozhu, you can get the medicinal materials from Xinletang, and you can come forward to talk, it's for Zhongyitang For the sake of saving face, give them a chance to do business for the sake of our previous friendship, if the little brother comes forward, it will become that we owe the other party a favor."

The uncle agreed.
