Great Tang Southern Emperor

"That's not true." Wang Can thought for a while, there were only a few blacksmith shops in the city, but they obviously didn't have the ability to make gold.

"That's strange, where is their gold smelted..." Fang Yi Aihua paused when he thought of something in the middle of his speech.

"Your Highness, you mean..." Even Baili Changsheng's voice changed this time, his eyes widened and his voice was sharp: "You mean, there is a gold mine nearby?"

"What? A gold mine?"

"where is it?"

"My God!"

"I've never seen a gold mine!"

"..." Baili Changsheng lost his composure so much that he didn't even notice the surrounding environment, so he conjectured, which immediately aroused everyone's discussion—this is a gold mine, and the gold produced in it...

"Okay, stop arguing, so what if there is a gold mine here? We..."

Before Li Zhen finished speaking, he was interrupted by a stinky boy who was running towards him, and he shouted as he ran, "Your Highness, we have captured a convoy from Linyi, and they are all transporting gold. I'm going to get rich."

"Is there really a gold mine?"

"This transportation team should be in contact with Rili and the gold mine, right?"

"I finally understand why there is so much grain stored in Rili City."

"It turns out that there is still a gold mining team here."

"..."

Fang Yiai was even more excited, asking again and again: "Your Highness, is there really a gold mine?"

"That's pretty obvious, isn't it?"

"Gold mine..." Fang Yiai murmured, her eyes blurred, obviously caught in some kind of imagination.

Baili Changsheng also asked quite emotionally: "Your Highness, do you want to take a look?"

Li Zhen nodded and said: "Of course, the king of gold has seen a lot, but this is the first time I have seen a gold mine."

"Stinky boy, where is the person you arrested?"

The brat immediately said: "Just outside the city, Your Highness, please follow me."

In the open space outside the city, surrounded by a group of soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion wearing camouflage uniforms (don’t ask me where the camouflage uniforms came from), there are three large vehicles in the middle, with several large boxes on each vehicle, and the ruts The print is very deep, obviously the goods in the box are extremely heavy.

Beside the car, there were dozens of people dressed as Linyi soldiers, squatting on the ground with their heads downcast, looking at the car unwillingly.

For these people, Li Zhen didn't even look at them, just climbed into the car, opened a box casually, and the golden light immediately caught Li Zhen's eyes, almost dazzled his eyes.

"It really is gold. It seems that there is a real gold mine nearby." Fang Yiai said, "The only question now is, where is this gold mine?"

"This is not a problem at all." Baili Changsheng drew out his long knife and put it on a person who looked like a leader: "Tell me, where is your gold mine? Otherwise...my knife is very sharp."

This leader looks strong and domineering, very tough and not to be trifled with, who knows that he was just frightened by Baili Changsheng's knife, and immediately became a pug: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, I say, I say, the gold mine is here In a valley fifty miles away, as long as your lord spares my life, I will take you there."

"Very good, your life is saved." Baili Changsheng withdrew his knife: "Aren't you going to lead the way?"

"Yes yes yes, adults and villains please come."

"You stay here, and the Changsheng Battalion will follow me." Of course, it is impossible to bring all the more than 5000 people there. Li Zhen only brought the previous Changsheng Battalion this time. Compared with the other battalions, the Changsheng Battalion may have weaker combat effectiveness. A little bit, but it was born for the jungle, more suitable for jungle marching.

The fifty-mile road, according to Li Zhen's previous speed, would take at least five days, but now there are people leading the way, and the Rili people have opened up a logging path for the convenience of transporting gold, but even so, more than 1000 people have walked a full distance. The genius has arrived.

The defense of the gold mine is very strict. There are thousands of people in the army alone, and there are countless coolies carrying heavy backpacks, going back and forth in the valley, and there are also hideous-looking supervisors with whips patrolling back and forth to see who Lazy, going up is just a whip...

After a charge, the army guarding here was attacked by the Changsheng Battalion—the combat effectiveness of the Changsheng Battalion was indeed weak, but compared with the Youth Army, it was still a first-class strong army outside.

The gold mine became Li Zhen's personal property.

However, to everyone's disappointment, this gold mine is only a small mine, and it is almost exhausted.

"It's a pity, it's a waste of time." Fang Yiai said a little disappointed.

Li Zhen had a different opinion: "To be exact, it should be considered our luck."

"What's your Highness's meaning?" Fang Yiai asked in confusion, the gold mine was gone, and she made a trip for nothing, how could she be lucky?

Li Zhen smiled slightly: "Let me ask you, if this is a super rich mine, what will we do next?"

Fang Yiai said without thinking: "Of course we will continue mining."

"But this is the territory of an enemy country, and the lives of miners are always threatened."

"Then it will be easier, we will send troops to garrison."

"Then how many troops do you want to garrison?"

"Of course, the more the better."

"But we only have 5000 people. If we send fewer people, we will not be able to withstand the enemy's attack. If we send more, it will affect our next plan. Anyway, it is impossible to give up the long-term plan for a gold mine. Yes, I will definitely not agree."

"This..." Fang Yiai was dumbfounded.

"Understood? This at least allows us to avoid a dilemma." Li Zhen said: "Okay, since it is a small mine, let's forget it and let's withdraw."

"Yes."

Chapter 155 Starting Again

Another day passed, and all the materials found in the city were packed. According to Baili Changsheng's intention, they were all neatly placed in the square in the center of the city and left alone. Then the Boys' Army should set off.

"Captain Baili, I leave this place to you."

Baili Changsheng assured: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will definitely transport the treasure back to Yuezhou intact. Moreover, we will not be separated for long, we will meet again soon, wait for me to arrange things Alright, this subordinate will immediately follow in the footsteps of the army and rush to reunite with His Highness."

"Then please."

Li Zhen nodded, turned around and said, "Youth Army, let's go."

"Finally gone." Looking at the leaving youth army, a faint voice rang in Baili Changsheng's ear.

Baili Changsheng was taken aback, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately said in a bad mood: "Damn it! When did you show up? Also, what's the matter with your outfit? I almost moved Do you know the knife?"

"Of course I showed up just now." The person who spoke was a man wearing a Nanyang aborigine's costume, coupled with his thin rib-like figure, he really looked exactly like a Nanyang aborigine.

This person is obviously very familiar with Baili Changsheng, and he just rolled his eyes and said: "As for my clothes, of course it's a disguise - we have hundreds of people, if we don't turn into locals, do you think we can hide it?" Over the eyes and ears of the locals?"
