Martial arts and means cannot support the overall situation.

Coach Wei was replaced six times, became a Flying Bear Guard again, and served as a guerrilla general.

Now that I can tame the tough soldiers of Shuofeng Pass, I believe I can also tame the notoriously arrogant Liaodong tigers and wolves.

"Teacher, you have said so, so I won't act like a girl.

When I patrol Liaodong, I will definitely add your name to the list."

Ji Yuan nodded and smiled. Having Wei Yang accompanying him was like adding more wings to a tiger.

A humble guy like him from Liaodong, a small family with little background.

It is almost impossible to find a confidant who is worthy of entrusting your support and willing to work hard.

Not to mention an expert like Coach Wei, who is the backbone of the Guards.

"Where is Kuro going on this trip?"

After deciding to follow him personally, Wei Yang frowned and asked again.

"Dragon Snake Mountain. I got a formation map not long ago, which can be used to refine Taoist weapons."

Ji Yuan did not hide anything and said directly.

"Dragon Snake Mountain...all the candidates who have obtained rankings in the Martial Arts Hall, as well as the guards' seeds who have joined the army, will go there."

Wei Yang's heart skipped a beat. Before entering Shuofeng Pass, he had gone up Long Snake Mountain.

It took more than three months to dig out the refined iron ore and smelt the rough embryos for military materials.

The hard days of pulling bellows and chiseling rocks every day are still vivid in my mind.

"Just in time! Kuro, how about you and I go together?"

The tree is big and attracts the wind. Although you are famous in Tianjing, you have also offended many prominent people.

Dragon Snake Mountain is far away in Wuzhou, so trekking out of the city alone is inevitably a bit dangerous.

Just come with me and take care of each other!"

Wei Yang thought for a moment and said immediately.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying your orders. I'll ask the butler to bring a good horse."

Ji Yuan didn't want it, so he immediately greeted him.

…

…

In Wuzhou, dozens of mineral veins are entrenched, like crawling giant beasts.

The most famous among them is Long Snake Mountain, where the imperial court sent heavy troops to garrison.

It is steep and steep, rising from the ground with a height of five to six hundred feet.

There are raging fires and thick smoke billowing all year round.

Several mountains gathered together, almost covering the sky.

No matter how heavy the wind or snow is, you can't get even half a minute closer.

Stand on a high place and look around.

You will only see mountains and plains filled with people.

Hundreds of thousands of barbarians, prisoners of war, and tall armored soldiers.

Everyone was busy and walking in the Dragon Snake Mine, creating a lively and noisy scene.

There was the clanging sound of cutting mountains and knocking rocks, and there were stern and cold scoldings and shouts.

Even if you are several miles away, you can hear it clearly.

Walking to higher ground, tents are set up and big flags are fluttering.

Crossbows are set up at the surrounding cliff intersections to guard the key roads that must pass through.

From this we can see that this place is heavily guarded and difficult to attack!

Located in the center of the camp, under the banner.

There is a bronze palace standing there!

That's right, the entire spacious hall, which is 700 to 800 paces square, is actually made of pure copper.

On the eaves, various metal embellishments are inlaid, making it look like stars twinkling in the sky.

According to common sense, no one can live in such a place.

Once it encounters heavy rain, it will attract thunder, fire and lightning.

If it rolls down like wheels and crashes, there is only one way to die!

Because no matter how strong the body is, no matter how strong the body is.

It is impossible to face the power of God and resist the thunder!

That is a field that only a master of the Five Realms who are one with nature and man can set foot!

Moreover, the financial resources consumed by such a large copper palace, which can accommodate hundreds of people, are by no means a small amount.

You know, the coins of the Jing Dynasty were all made of copper and iron.

In order to reduce this expenditure, saints and princes continued to promote treasure money.

It even supported the establishment of Tongbao Bank, which spread all over the country to fulfill the responsibility of exchange.

Stomp, tap, tap, hurried footsteps resounded, and a soldier entered the cold and solemn hall holding a red seal in his hands.

He suddenly knelt down on one knee and handed over a secret report from Tianjing.

There is a dragon and tiger chair above, and a middle-aged man with three strands of black beard under his chin is sitting still, as if he is concentrating with his eyes closed.

There was a huge round ball standing around him, like a specially built iron cage, covering him inside.

This man was in the military camp, not wearing an armor or helmet, but a moire brocade robe embroidered with gold edges.

He is about thirty or forty years old, with a very strong build, a strong evil look on his face, and a fierce temper at first glance.

His name is Zhao Chui, and he is one of the three generals in charge of Longshe Mine.

He usually guards the Heavenly Snake Peak and holds the power of life and death.

"Is it a letter from Xu Juan? As a classmate of mine, I always go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, but I actually remembered that he has an old friend who lives in the mine, haha."

Zhao Chui chuckled lowly, and when his eyes opened and closed, they flashed with a sword-like edge.

He wiped off the red paint casually, shook out the secret letter, glanced at it briefly, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"What a good Xu Laoliu. He has suffered a lot and humiliated a junior, but he asked me to stand up for him? I'm talking nonsense!"

Zhao Chui only read the beginning and felt extremely ridiculous.

He has guarded Tian Serpent Peak for many years and cannot leave his post without permission.

But this does not mean that I am so bad that I am kept in the dark about any major events that have happened in the court recently.

"Who knows Ji Jiulang from Fusi in Beizhen, the heartthrob of the East Palace, and the Prince's pawn?

If I were so bold and dared to cut this piece of meat with my hands and open my mouth to eat this pawn, how good would my end be?"

Zhao Chui sneered, thinking that as a classmate, Xu Juan was really capable of tricking people, so anxious that he even came up with such a bad idea.

"Huh? Duke Liang? No, even if Xu Laoliu pulls the tiger skin of Duke Liang, there is nothing he can do!

The prince is the crown prince, unless I have ten lives and ten heads.

Otherwise, do not be offended by the mighty power of Heaven!"

When he saw the second letter, Zhao Chui was moved for a moment.

Guarding the mines is a hard job, and you can't get rid of it for many years.

There is no hope of being a noble and a general in this life, let alone reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.

A general is responsible for commanding a territory, and a marquis is responsible for guarding the territory.

No matter which one he is, he is much better than a mine supervisor with the title of general.

With Duke Liang's extraordinary skills, it would be easy to transfer Zhao Chui into the army.

There is no need to consult the Cabinet or the East Palace; the Ministry of War can make its own decision.

but……

The hot potato is hard to eat.

Risking the consequences of offending the East Palace to please Duke Liang, what will be the final outcome?

Xu Hao, the minister of the Ministry of War and an old classmate, has already given the answer.

"No matter how bright your tongue is, I can't possibly accept it.
