"Gold mine, you said you used to be a gold mine slave," Li Jun straightened up suddenly, and exclaimed in shock.Old man Della nodded and said, "Twenty years ago, my son was convicted by the Criminal Department of the whole family for violating the law of the country, and after our family was assigned to Edbele City, he secretly took him to a mine" According to the old man Dela, at first he didn't know that the mine was actually a gold mine, thinking it was a power stone mine, or a metal mine.Because the gold mine is exclusive to the Church of Light, on the Canaan continent, no country is allowed to own gold mines privately, whether at the end of the world or at the cape, and you need to be certified by the church and given the right to mine in order to organize miners and slaves to mine gold.The mined gold was sent to the church headquarters, and the church made gold coins engraved with the image of the goddess, which were divided into a certain percentage and shared with the kingdom.Li Jun remembered that there was not a single piece of news about the discovery of gold in Edbelay City, which reached the interior of the empire and was recorded in the relevant materials.Therefore, if what the old man Della said is true, then Russifu is too bold, and after discovering the gold mine, unlike the empire and the church, he mined it privately and swallowed it into his own money bag in the northwest frontier, which is the desert world, and the city of Edbele was ridiculed by the inland officials of the empire as a desolate capital and a city of sin, and even birds did not in that place.The city of Edbele is one of the few places in the Koro Empire that does not have a church, that is, there is no clergy to supervise it, and the most powerful person is Tarusif, the ruler of the empire.According to Old Man Dela, when he arrived at the gold mine twenty years ago, he found that the gold mine had been in existence for a long time, estimated to be four or five years, and at that time, the city of Edbelay had only been built for less than a year, that is.Before the city of Edberet was built, Rusif discovered the gold mine, and the existence of the city of Adebelay was built to cover the gold mine.He is a little Rusif, no matter how shrewd and calculating, it is impossible to say that the empire will suddenly build a city in the vast desert, the commander of the Eighth Army of Gregory.The lieutenant general who commanded the 100,000 border army had a little chance Li Jun opened his mouth slightly in a daze and rubbed his chin.The water in Edbele City is muddy, it is simply too special Li Jun doubted that such a big thing, whether Gelie alone could do it to hide from the sky and the sea, deceive the upper and lower, and make the empire decide to spend manpower, material resources, and financial resources in the vast desert to build a seemingly chicken city If it was not done by Gelie alone.Confused everyone's attention and suspicion, then, who is even more awesome than Gelie, who is an old minister in the imperial capital, a certain grand duke, or Koro XVII himself, "Hmm, it shouldn't be Koro XVII, if it's really him, you should choose a more shrewd and trusted courtier, sent to Edbele City to garrison all year round" Li Jun smiled bitterly, this trip to the muddy waters is really muddy.Once the matter is known to the Church.In order to maintain the supremacy and majesty of the Church, I don't know how many people will die, even if it is Corot XVII, I am afraid that he will be held accountable for stealing gold coins next to the dozing tiger."
My son's wife, because she couldn't stand the hard days and nights of slavery, had an affair with a petty officer, and finally in an accident, my son was killed by the petty officer, leaving me and the newly full moon Rideau to live his own life of prosperity. ”Old man Della said calmly."
I don't blame her," Old Man Della shook his head.Immediately, a trace of indifference flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she said: "She has the right to choose, but she should not cruelly unite with outsiders and kill her husband Even if my son is not in every way, but he has been punished and should not accept other punishments, so, in the incident a few days ago, I invited a man, cut off her head, and hung it next to the centralized grave where my son's body was buried." ”"What happened a few days ago?"
asked Li Jun."
It's the Wildfire Sand Pirates, the ferocious Sand Pirates who ride the Desert Fire Wolves, purely for the pleasure of killing, their whereabouts are erratic, and they make enemies almost everywhere, Rusif once used the strength of his uncle to gather 40,000 troops to ambush the Wildfire Sand Pirates, and killed more than 8,000 of the latter in a battle, and became the most powerful man in this desert with unparalleled prestige.""
Because of this, the Wildfire Sand Pirates formed a deep grudge with Rusif, and after a few years of rest, they heard the news from somewhere, and found that Rusif was secretly mining gold, so they almost set out to conquer two-thirds of the army garrison arranged by Rusif in the gold mine, slaughtered and plundered, and rolled up more than 50 carts and horses loaded with gold nuggets that had just come out of the mine, and we also took the opportunity to escape."
Old man Della said.Eight hundred miles away from the city of Edbelai, in the middle of a huge military fortress, an undried riverbed, flowing with surging pure water, in the fortress, there are dozens of underground wells, surrounded by a small amount of green grass, poplar trees are arranged, it is completely a paradise in the desert.The military fortress is slightly dilapidated, with soldiers coming and going, repairing damaged walls, facilities, machinery, etc., as if it had just experienced a fierce battle.In a room somewhere in the fortress, a middle-aged man with a beard on his face, with a long sword in one hand, turned his back to an officer kneeling on the ground.The middle-aged man is very burly, and he looks like a vulgar and reckless man, no one would have thought that he is actually the prefect of the city guard of Edbele City, Russifu who has been crisscrossing the desert for more than 20 years, and is known as the most powerful man, "General, it is the dereliction of duty of his subordinates that let the old sand thief of Wildfire break through the gold mine fortress, I" "You know" Rusif spoke slowly, and the officer who was kneeling on the ground suddenly closed his mouth in panic."
Because of your negligence, how much do you make General Ben lose?"
"Please ask your Excellency to condemn" Rusif turned a deaf ear and continued: "Because of your negligence, maybe this general's head will be in a different place, and his head and body will be separated, not only that, but my Uncle Rusif, other officers, and more bigwigs in the imperial capital, will be condemned by the church.The whole family was wiped out, and the blood of tens of thousands of lives turned into red in an instant, the Balrodina Inland Sea was red" "Please give the general death" The officer said tremblingly.Rusif gave the officer a cold glance and snorted.A flash of sword light swept away his hair, and I don't know how many sword qi it contained, it turned into a cloud of powder in the sky, and it shook down."
Thou hast followed me twelve years, for thy faithful sake.I will not kill you, but I will get fifty whips myself, and you will be given three days to heal your wounds, and continue to manage this fortress for me. ”Rusif said coldly."
General Xie Kona has nothing to repay, I am willing to follow you forever, and be loyal" The officer cried a few times with emotion, kissed the ground lightly, and then walked away lightly.Rusif grimaced, clenched his fists and crackled."
Wildfire.I swear to kill you as an old bitch with a thousand cuts," Rusif gritted his teeth, his face full of hideousness.When there was a creak of "come in", a blood-stained lieutenant in armor walked in, and this person was none other than Rusiff's confidant, Papaison."
My lord, on the way back, we were attacked by the Wildfire Sand Pirates" "Okay, you've worked hard, I already know all this.Just come back alive" Rusif relieved Paperson, and then asked: "By the way, what about the new chief executive, Mr.
Li Junjue" Paberson was slightly stunned, and truthfully recounted the experience."
Papasons .You are foolish, how can you act impulsively for your own selfish desires," Rusif said with a slight anger."
My lord, that Li Jun behaved perversely and was very arrogant, I am afraid that bringing him back will hinder your plan."
Paberson said hurriedly."
Keep him, you can be a scapegoat for us and carry the black pot.If anything happens, you can push it on him, and if he dies, it is estimated that the empire will not send us an unlucky scapegoat in the future. ”Rusif shook his head angrily and annoyedly."
General, why is this?"
"A big man in the imperial capital secretly sent a message saying that His Majesty the King had given the city of Edbereas to that Li Jun as a fief, and the hereditary disregard for his death, according to the law formulated by the aristocratic class, it would take five years to complete the period and only after it was determined that Li Jun had no heirs and inherited his territory, he could take back the administrative power of Edbelay City. ”Rusif's tone paused slightly, and then said: "Moreover, at this moment, the location of the gold mine was discovered by the old man of the wildfire, and swept away more than 50 gold carts that we just came out of the mine, one is not good, you and I have to move" Looking at Papasen's frightened face, Rusif waved his hand weakly and said: "You go down, go to the infirmary to find a priest to heal your injuries first, I have a task for you to complete here." ”"Yes, General, my subordinates retire.""
Old man Dela, it's old man Dela" "Oh my God, the goddess is above, he didn't even die" A gathering place, more than 30 women, children, and men suddenly cheered, they all had a unified characteristic, that is, they were thin and almost saw the bones under the skin Those children, because of malnutrition, lack of calcification, resulting in teenagers being only one meter and five meters tall, like Gu Daofu's kindred, dwarfs."
Old man Della, who is the yellow-skinned man next to you?"
asked a thin man with one hand on his back and a vigilant face."
Dear Tuo, peace of mind, peace of mind, this is His Excellency Li Jun, my savior."
Old man Della hurriedly waved his hand and said.Tuo Er breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still vigilance in his eyes, nodded at Li Jun, and thanked: "Thank you for your rescue, Tuo is here to thank you." ”Li Jun shook his head with a smile and asked, "Where are you going to see the distance you have traveled, it seems that you are heading in the direction of Edbelay City." ”"Indeed, we intend to settle in the city of Edbelai."
Topau.Li Jun asked puzzledly: "Old man Della told me about everyone's origins, just escaped from the tiger's mouth, why do you want to enter the wolf's mouth in the blink of an eye" "The vast sea, as vast as the Han Sea, except for Edberet City, where else can we flee to?"
Although Edberet City is also an area under the control of Rusif, most of his army and himself live in the gold mine fortress all the year round, and only occasionally return to Edbele City to inspect it, there should be hope that he will sneak into the city quietly and find a place to settle down. ”Old Man Della explained."
By the way, old man Della, have you found your grandson, Brother Riddo?"
asked one of the men.Old man Della shook his head with a sad face, stretched out his hands to the sky, and said in a trembling voice: "Riddo, he has ascended to the kingdom of God and thrown himself into the arms of the great goddess of light" Everyone fell silent, their faces full of sorrow.Li Jun also sighed with feeling, the reality is so cruel, it makes people desperate, angry, and frightened.After a long time, the old man asked Li Jun: "My lord, where are you going now, is there a direction" "I" Li Jun pointed to his nose, and after being silent for a while, he sighed helplessly, and said with a smile: "Like you, go to Edbele City" A slightly powerful man, with a group of weak women and children, embarked on a road to hell with no return.There are many choices in life, and Li Jun just made the stupidest choice.Because, he, to defeat the most powerful man in the desert, Rusif, who has been in the desert for 20 years, and Rusif, who was crowned the strongest man by the sand thieves, is he a general, incompetent man "You ask me, what is my lord career like, okay, then I will tell you: in fact, it is very simple, because here, it is my territory, they are my people, I stupidly chose them later, they also stupidly chose me Well, this is my lord career, very simple and wonderful" S: The Canaan chapter is over, and tomorrow a new sub-volume lord chapter will be openedS: I hope you big brothers can collect Jiumi's street book Warcraft, click on a subscription to support me, the more tickets or something, the better Thio work hard,,; mobile phone reading,
