Chapter 43: The Dead

One person can make hundreds of people have no impression of him. The so-called impression is just the fierce expression of the substitute, and nothing else is known.

This is very scary. It can only be said that this mysterious master is definitely not an ordinary person.

And according to the information revealed by Scar Liu, the boss started using a body double three months ago.

You must know that three months ago, when Su Qi'an first came to Da Liang, the big boss took action.

Su Qi'an naturally would not have thought that this person evacuated because of himself.

This person has been in Lingbei County for a long time and has been lurking for such a long time. Who knows his previous identity? Maybe this person may not be from Daliang.

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Qi'an's mind, but in the end Su Qi'an stopped deeply.

For him, what the big master's purpose is and whereabouts are beyond his ability to deal with.

If this person really wanted to deal with him, Su Qian would have died countless times.

What Su Qi'an can be sure of is that at present, the big boss does not have much conflict of interest with him, so he cannot make a move against him.

But this is only for now. In the future, whether there is a possibility of conflict will depend on God's will.

No matter what, Su Qian will never sit still and wait for death even if he encounters him in the future.

After thinking through this, Su Qi'an's mind was opened up. Next, Su Qi'an asked a few more questions.

Scar Liu answered truthfully, Su Qian nodded, and Fang Jingzhi beside him spoke.

"Tell me, where is the iron ore you discovered in Dongzi Mountain? Take us there quickly."

Scar Liu was very straightforward, turning his head as if he wanted someone to carry him forward, and he was responsible for leading the way.

Fang Jingzhi waved, and after a while, four soldiers came forward, directly picked up Scar Liu, and carried him out of the banquet hall.

After passing one of the forks in the road, Dao Scar Liu signaled to go in another direction.

The soldier did not hesitate and moved forward slowly.

After all, this Scar Liu has already had his hands and hamstrings amputated. If he is trying to do some trick, he will be the first to die.

This is why Fang Jingzhi is not afraid, and he did not encounter any attacks along the way.

After walking for almost three or four miles, we walked out of a long tunnel and saw a huge mountain crossing in front of us.

If you look carefully, you will find that this location is behind Dongzi Mountain.

Unexpectedly, there is a small mountain behind Dongzi Mountain.

Because of the steepness of Dongzi Mountain, no one can climb up from the back mountain. Directly in front, the huge Dongzi Mountain blocks the hill behind it, making people mistakenly think that there is only one mountain.

No wonder there is no back mountain passage in Dongzi Mountain, because this hill blocks the way. If you want to escape, you have to dig through it.

During the excavation process, they discovered iron ore, an important war resource.

This is really the luck God gave them.

Under Fang Jingzhi's order, more than a dozen soldiers walked towards a large hole that had been dug in front of them.

After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and a soldier appeared to report the internal situation.

This mountain has not been hollowed out. If it can be determined that all of this hill is iron ore, then the bandits in Dongzi Mountain have only excavated less than one-tenth of it.

This news made Fang Jingzhi very excited. The news was true, and they had achieved great success this time.

With the resources of this iron mine, we can at least build armor and weapons for an army of soldiers.

In Daliang, the highest level of the army is the army, and an army has a full strength of 10,000 people.

It is possible to provide strategic supplies for 10,000 soldiers. Such a great achievement is enough to upgrade him and Su Qi'an to the next level.

To be cautious about such a matter, Fang Jingzhi decided to personally lead people to explore it in depth.

He greeted Su Qi'an for a few words and waited for a while. Immediately afterwards, about a hundred soldiers poured out from behind.

Everyone held torches and soon followed Fang Jingzhi deep into the mine. Even Xie Cang beside him also went together.

After all, this incident is too rare. If it is as Fang Jingzhi inferred, even if he cannot be promoted as a county prince, his contribution will be enough to at least double his right to mobilize soldiers on the battlefield in the future.

Xie Cang will be attracted.

Su Qian could understand the mentality of the two of them, but the temptation of the iron mine was great.

But for Su Qi'an, it is not so absolute. With his current rights, even if he gets the iron mine, he does not have enough manpower to mine it.

And if he really sent people to mine, he wouldn't be able to keep it. The most important thing to Su Qi'an was the small source of explosives hidden behind Dongshan Village.

This is what Su Qi'an values. As for the iron ore mine, Su Qi'an is just a spectator.

This time, with Xie Cang and Fang Jingzhi leading the team, the matter in the iron mine will surely come to light soon.

Su Qi'an, who rarely had a moment of leisure, looked curiously at the iron ore mine in front of him.

In Daliang, iron mines of this size are also very rare. According to records, in the more than 20 years of history of Sichuandu County, resources of this size were only discovered in Sichuanzhong County.

If it is really confirmed here in Lingbei County this time, it will be of great help to the development of Lingbei County and the improvement of its status in the future.

Su Qi'an glanced around, and suddenly, his eyes focused on the top of the iron mine.

Although the top of the mountain is some distance away, you can only see it roughly even with your eyes.

But with Su Qian's eyesight, he could still see that there were several cracks in the middle of the mountain top.

Su Qi'an walked forward quickly, walked to the entrance of the cave, glanced around, and kept groping the wall with his palms. During this period, he repeatedly observed at the entrance of the cave and the top of the mountain.

Gradually, a bad premonition suddenly appeared on Su Qian's solemn face.

He shouted fiercely towards the cave ahead.

"Brother Xie, Master Fang, evacuate quickly, we have fallen into a trap!"

As soon as Su Qian's voice fell, Scar Liu, who was lying on the ground behind him, laughed crazily.

"Haha, it's too late! No matter who dares to invade our Dongzi Mountain, everyone will die! Everyone will die!"

"Shut up! You're saying I'll chop you!" A soldier beside him put a knife on Scar Liu's neck.

Scar Liu didn't care at all and continued to laugh crazily.

The moment the two people's voices fell back and forth, the iron ore mine in front of them shook wildly, countless small gravels began to peel off, and the entire ground shook wildly.

In just one minute, the iron mine in front of them collapsed, and the cave door was instantly blocked.

Even if Su Qi'an informed in time, less than a dozen soldiers were able to withdraw, and the others, including Xie Cang and Fang Jingzhi, were all buried inside.

Seeing this scene, Scar Liu was quite excited, "I can have a marquis, a county magistrate, and hundreds of soldiers buried with me, and I, Scar Liu, will be worthy of my life."

Scar Liu laughed unscrupulously, while Su Qi'an stared at him with an indifferent expression.

Scar Liu's laughter became even more wild, and he taunted Su Qian, "Haha, they say you are a great talent, but I didn't expect that one day a great talent would fall into the hands of a bandit? I didn't expect that."

Facing Scar Liu's unscrupulousness, Su Qian's indifferent expression suddenly showed a sneer, and then, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Bandits are bandits. Do you really think of yourself as a person? If I fell into your hands, I wouldn't have to lead the troops in the war. You loser this time, bastard."

Scar Liu's manic laughter stopped abruptly. He turned his head desperately, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Beside the cave entrance blocked by rubble, Xie Cang, Fang Jingzhi and other soldiers slowly walked out.

"This...how is this possible? I saw you enter the cave with my own eyes! This!"

"There is nothing impossible about this. What you see with your own eyes may not be true. You have given up so much effort and used the iron mine as a temptation to kill us. With your IQ, you should not be able to think of it. Tell me, your big brother

Where is the master?"

Scar Liu turned his head and looked deeply at Su Qi'an. After a moment of silence, he sighed.

"I think you saw my plan from the beginning. They said you had great talent, but I didn't believe it. This time, I surrendered and died in your hands. I am convinced."

"As for the big boss, haha, I won't tell you even if I die. You can just guess slowly. The big boss will become your nightmare! A lifelong nightmare..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Scar Liu's face suddenly turned red, and blood quickly overflowed from the corners of his mouth. His eyes widened, and he suddenly tilted his head and died.

Su Qi'an did not stop Scar Liu's suicide, and even if he did, he couldn't.

The soldier stepped forward and soon found poison in his tooth socket.

"This Scar Liu is not simple, he is not a bandit at all."

"He is a dead soldier!"

Almost immediately, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang blurted out and determined Scar Liu's identity.

Ordinary bandits don't have poison to kill themselves. Those who can use poison and hide it in their tooth sockets must be professionally trained death warriors.

The two signaled that the soldiers came forward and took off Scar Liu's clothes. There were no special marks on his body. There were about fifteen scars on his chest and back.

It seems that there is nothing strange about these scars, but the more they look like this, the more weird they are.

When bandits fight among themselves, even outlaws will give priority to saving their lives, and will definitely run away if given the chance.

But the scars on Scar Liu's body were obviously caused by fighting with multiple people. Fighting in a stalemate with others was not like the behavior of bandits.

Sure enough, after a while, a special small scar was found on the neck of Scar Liu's descendant.

This small scar is mixed in with other scars. If you don't look confidently, you can't find it at all.

Judging from the age of the scar, it appears to be at least half a year old, as if it had been cut off in advance with a knife.

This further confirmed Su Qi'an and Xie Cang's verification.

Only dead soldiers would carve such family-like tattoos on their bodies.

Those who can train dead soldiers are at least Dezhou shepherds, Dukes and above. They are just raising dead soldiers in Daliang. Once discovered, it will be a capital crime.

When did a small county town have such great strategic value that it could send out dead soldiers? Even for the so-called iron mines, there is no need.

Moreover, this iron mine was originally a fake, just a layout. It was deliberately laid out for so long just to kill a county marquis or magistrate?

Even though Xie Cang felt that he was extraordinary, he still knew how much he weighed.
