Rise of Rurik

The boundless ice floes still wrap the entire Åland Islands. Most of them come from the depths of the Gulf of Bothnia in the north. Optimistically, the frozen ocean is still melting rapidly. Pessimistically, it will take some days for the ocean to restore safe navigation.

In fact, the sailing from Tombstone Island to Stockholm has barely resumed, and the merchants and their pals force the boat to sail, which is less risky than encountering an ocean storm.

Generally speaking, they seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The more money and materials they have on hand, the more cautious they will act.

They are very envious of the king's large ships, and they are thinking about ordering a larger cargo ship themselves.

Almost all of these merchants came from Lake Mälaren, and a rather embarrassing problem was put in front of everyone—the family of craftsmen who were good at building large ships immigrated to the East collectively for the sake of profit.

Who would refuse to be rich? Capable shipbuilders went to the East to pan for gold, and now the huge Ross fleet moored on Tombstone Island is what these craftsmen did.

Rurik, the king of Ross, is spending huge sums of money to build a new giant ship. The news is true. The huge hull can't hide the woodwork shed. The construction of the new ship is completely public, and anyone can judge it before it is launched.

Glory belongs to the royal family, but the price is the decline of Sweden's shipbuilding industry on Lake Mälaren. The leading longship is still the main type of ship, and the craftsmen who stayed at Lake Mälaren can only build it.

Of course, it is not a problem for a wealthy businessman to go to the shipyard loyal to the royal family in New Roseburg to order a "standard cargo ship" such a ship appointed by the royal family. The problem is to get the money immediately.

At least two hundred and fifty pounds of silver in cash or equivalent goods, even a self-proclaimed wealthy person can hardly afford such a sum of cash.

Unless, with the help of some opportunities, you can make a fortune.

Buying horse leather from Frankish war horses from the king to make a variety of hard, wear-resistant and cold-resistant leather products. It is obviously very profitable for sellers who are inspired to become warriors, mercenaries, and adventurers to make a lot of money. .

They followed the description of the king Rurik first, and did not hesitate to bid for it. They believed that even if the price was outrageous, everyone would still make a lot of money in the end.

The logic is this, a young warrior will spend all his savings, or even take out a loan, and buy himself a piece of equipment that will last him most of his life.

In the past, the Baltic Sea was divided up by various forces, and there were bandits running rampant on the sea. The merchants had to recruit mercenaries to guard them. Today the Baltic Sea seems peaceful, and the merchants' perspectives are projected farther afield. Merchants craved larger ships to travel further afield in search of wealth. The unknown land is afraid that the authority of King Ross cannot cover it, so the defect of the large-scale mercenary gap stimulates a large number of young people in Sweden who are screaming to explore abroad.

Order a bright white Ross steel sword, a dark hard Ross chrome handaxe, for which the young mercenary pays a pound of silver or a thousand pounds of oats.

Swedish businessmen noticed that these young people are willing to spend money on weapons, so they must spend a lot of money to buy a good dress, a good pair of shoes, a good belt and so on.

The businessmen who successfully bid have ignored the farce made by the Gould family, and people are willing to believe that this domineering family finally exits sadly after its wealth has come to an end.

Twenty pieces of horse leather were bought by more than a dozen Swedish businessmen through joint bidding. For this reason, they really showed their wealth in response. They transported boxes of silver coins to the Tombstone Island pier and waited for the long ship transporting horse leather to arrive at the port to unload the goods.

Today's Rurik is dressed in full clothes, and his bells and whistles look like a clown.

The wharf was full of colorful, jeweled merchants, in stark contrast to the crowd of onlookers dressed in tan. The king himself is undoubtedly the brightest star, and the bear-headed heavy-armor berserkers accompanying him are also aggressive.

The merchants were anxiously waiting, and hundreds of onlookers were purely happy to see the horse leather's demeanor.

The quality of horse leather is not only determined by its odor, but also by the size of its defects.

Those so-called high-quality horse leathers all come from horses whose hooves were cut off on the battlefield or fatal wounds to their necks and necks. After the war, the dying horses were executed, and a large area of ​​intact leather was peeled off after the wounds.

The skin below the neck of the war horse is cut from the belly of the horse, cut all the way to the end, and extended to the calf joints of the four hooves. The horse hides thus slaughtered are equivalent to three meters in length and two meters in width.

After all, these are all Frank's tall horses, and some individuals have a larger leather area than estimated!

In fact, the old Rus people who are proficient in the tanning industry also praised the peeled leather immediately after the war. It was spread out to show a very large area, which is eye-opening.

In principle, Rurik could play some word games to greet the merchants after bidding with inferior horse leather. Considering his noble status, the black method is nothing more than today.

Ma Ge was already divided into three, six, nine, and nine grades. He sent his subordinates to take out a thousand sheets of the best grade, even though it caused his subordinates to feel distressed at one point.

Someone was heartbroken: "Why should the king give the best goods to those Melalen merchants? Even if you really donate to them, wouldn't it be better to give the middle goods?"

Rurik had his own explanation, but he didn't intend to explain too much to his subordinates.

As a king, I have to consider a lot. Going into battle and making money to fill the treasury is one thing. To maintain a stable kingdom established by force, at this stage, it can only be done through business. Only if the forces in the non-core area can make money under the framework of the "Russ Kingdom" can they understand that only by maintaining this thinking community can their wealth be permanent.

Because even those chieftains who were made dukes and counts were military nobles and also served as big businessmen.

The Hanseatic League is not a kingdom. It has monopolized the commerce of the Baltic Sea and North Saxony by means of close commerce and trade. Since they can last for so long, there are naturally endogenous factors, or the desire to make money is exactly the same among the different family members, and the common interests transcend the barriers of belief, ethnicity and geography.

The king deliberately gave profits, at least on the surface, to win over the merchants in the Lake Mälaren area and ensure the willing surrender of the Swedish part of the kingdom.

After all, Rurik's other title is King of Sweden, and he is the king of the merchants present!

The heavy horse hides were hoisted from large cargo ships to long ships, stacked in ten sheets, and bundled with twine for easy transportation.

The heads of the horses were all beheaded, the leather on the necks of the horses was folded, and the huge horsetail manes were collectively left outside. The leather was slightly curled due to the convenience of packing, and as the first stack of horse leather was carried ashore by a number of strong men, anxiously waiting merchants came around.

They noticed that the horse leather was bearing weight and fell to the ground, and they were all horrified by its thickness, and then they were full of praise.

Each one has a bright fur color, reflecting beautiful light in the early spring sun.

Rurik opened his arms and commanded: "Don't be in a hurry! All of you take a few steps back and let the soldiers untie the ropes and spread the horse leather! This king will open your eyes!"

In fact, it was the inspection of the goods. The merchants backed away in response, their hearts beating wildly with excitement.

The dagger cut the rope, and the four strong men pulled one open together. The air was filled with the peculiar smell of raw leather, but the tanning treatment was not a problem, the merchants ignored the smell, their jaws dropped at the sight before them, and the praise was even stronger!

"Wow! One piece of leather can make four coats!"

"Can make at least ten pairs of leather boots!"

"Haha, even scraps can be made into good belts."

"The worst leftovers can be sewn into gloves and hats."

These merchants are not second-hand dealers. They have workshops or have close ties with cobbler families. They are experts in how to make the best use of a piece of leather.

A piece of leather may not explain the problem. With Rurik ordering people to display it continuously, although each piece of leather is uneven, their great value potential is all seen by the merchants.

More and more horse hides arrived at the wharf, and the areas that had been deliberately emptied continued to be piled into hills of taupe leather.

Even with the finest horse leather, Rurik still made some reservations. The army obtained some rare white horse leather on the battlefield. After all, white horses are rare. It seems that they are all bear skins. Only the white bear skin is the most expensive. The white horse leather is recognized by Rurik as the best quality. Clothes, leather shoes, and other products made of it were first and foremost equipped for the standing army.

The sun shone on the golden laurel wreath on Rurik's velvet cap, and it shone brightly.

People saw the majestic king pinching his hands on his waist, behind him were piles of horse leather and a balance borrowed from the Gould family.

Now, on the left side of the scale, there were eight hundred fine Frankish silver coins weighing eight pounds, each bearing the head of Charlemagne.

Rurik raised his head and faced the eyeing merchants: "My goods have arrived! Your money is also here! Look at the scale beside me, there are eight hundred eight pounds on one side, they are the earliest quality, The finest silver coins that have only been minted in the past fifty years. They have been hidden in Frank's warehouses and paid to me as war reparations! You can trust their quality and the king's business ethics. Now let's start delivering, Twenty pieces of horse leather, and forty silver coins a piece. Who comes first?!"

There is a kind of bear-headed berserker standing beside the king. At this moment, who would dare to question the king's deceit.

But everyone can deny that the king is very smart, and his methods are just as sharp.

Because in the Nordic world, even with the huge influx of hot money from outside the region in the past ten years, the inflation every year is objectively very strong, causing the prices of various materials to rise to varying degrees. If it weren't for Rurik of Ross, the largest grain buyer, who set one of the cheap grains, silver coins for ten pounds of oats, and killed those who tried to hype grain prices with an iron fist, the fluctuations of grain prices in the Swedish world were all within a reasonable range. But other consumer goods, such as traditional beverages such as ale and mead, are soaring.

The so-called bad money drives out the good money is that the Western Roman silver coin, which has been in circulation for 400 years, is still in circulation, and it is no longer guaranteed to be round and defective. Even as more and more good Frankish silver coins enter the market, the old silver coins are still in use.

Western Roman silver coins and Frankish silver coins are very high in silver, while Eastern Roman silver coins are always laced with lead. The first two are the mainstream transactions in the Nordic world, and silver is silver. Even if someone deliberately cuts a little silver shavings off a silver coin and then collects it and recasts it, Rurik’s heavy trade makes this trick a trivial matter. meaningless.

To buy a horse leather for eight pounds, the merchant had to carefully put the silver coins in the cash box into the hanging tray, and stared at the pointer in the center. The pointer was an extremely finely ground iron needle, and the black line that marked the balance between the left and right was also extremely thin. The merchant kept putting silver coins on the hanging tray on the right, and watched with King Rurik at the same time. When the slender iron needle and the slender black thread overlapped, the delivery of one piece was completed.

The merchant who had a lot of old silver coins put in eight hundred more for this, and everyone was convinced that it really weighed eight pounds.

Although the silver coins that the merchants took out must be mixed with all the lead, considering that it was originally estimated that a piece of leather would sell for 15 pieces, it was abruptly hyped to 40 pieces by the help of the God of the Gould family, which far exceeded Rurik's psychological expectations. So-called lead-based wealth losses are ignored.

Rurik made a lot of hot money, so he can happily buy cheap primary materials in the Swedish world, and he can send the hot money to the newly surrendered Götaland region and the allied Danish world to buy salt and fish products. and many more. One thousand horse leather was finally exchanged for four hundred pounds of silver coins. On Tombstone Island, the Rus Kingdom actually completed the largest single fur trade in history, and the profit was also the largest in history.

And this 400 pounds of hot money will never be used indiscriminately by Rurik. It is a very important fund, and its use has been planned.

"How far is my sea monarch ready? How long until the sea trial? Should it be launched this year?!"

A behemoth has been excavating a dry dock since 839, and she is also the greatest masterpiece of Ross's shipbuilding industry. For this reason, a large pit has to be excavated to make a dry dock to meet her size.

The horse leather has a new owner, and the smell of the leather is considered by the buyer as a fragrance.

Next, all the cobbler workshops on the island will be in full swing, and all the thenardite on the island will be exhausted. In the end, the merchants who are eager to finish the tanning of the leather will go straight to the north after sailing. After all, Roseburg is backed by the mountains. It is not only the iron and steel smelting center of the kingdom, but also the largest exporter of various strange minerals. The locally produced thenardite the lowest overall cost.

Unlike processing other leathers, even deerskin as a contrast is inappropriate. The comprehensive performance of horse leather is second only to that of cow leather. It is thick and hard, and the consumption of mirabilite for tanning is extremely high.

In a short period of time, a large number of large leathers will be processed, and the consumption of thenardite will surge in a short period of time, and its price will rise, which is tantamount to increasing the financial income of Rosburg's hometown.

Harrodsen, who once dreamed of being the leader of the Ross tribe, has fulfilled his dream in a sense. The control area of ​​the Governor of Rossburg is larger than that of the Ross tribe in the old days. He is already an old man with real power, and the next governor will be Liuli. K's friend and young general Kanuf. In the absence of conditions to quickly build a strict tax system, Rurik had to rely on the rough "tax-inclusive system" to collect taxes first.

The Governor of Roseburg is the tax collector, and the governors of other regions also have corresponding responsibilities. Take out the king's taxes, and the rest is yours. However, the Governor of Roseburg could not say anything to the local Iron Furnace Town. This is a satellite town of Roseburg, but it is directly responsible to the king. After all kinds of craftsmen start their wages, the rest of the wealth is the king or the national money. .

Therefore, Rurik was very concerned about the management of Iron Furnace Town. The "city owner" was his brother-in-law Kawei, and his seniority was his uncle. There is no complicated theory of generations in Northern Europe, but the next generation of Iron Furnace Town Lord is Kusneslav who participated in the entire war in 840. This child is twelve years old this year, and a huge war has become his incredible coming-of-age ceremony. Nicknamed Kuja, he was the son of the Queen's own sister, and such relatives Rurik trusted him very much.

The huge amount of silver coins was temporarily secretly transferred to the well-guarded Gould family's mansion, and Rurik naturally wanted to make a big fuss about the money.

In the mansion, the old Gould entertained his king with a family feast. It was business as usual. The king was served roasted goat and roasted fish, as well as trans-generational scones and noodles.

After all, the old Gould is old-fashioned. Under the seemingly calm appearance, he suffers from high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes and atherosclerosis. Although there is no such detailed death in this era, Gould is very concerned about his physical condition. clear. He may die at any time, as long as he stops all his sons in the kingdom before he dies, he will have no regrets. ъìQυGΕtV.℃ǒΜ

The first generation of pirates, the second generation of merchants, and the third generation of nobles. This proverb is being implemented in the Gould family, the third generation of the family must be all nobles!

Everything seems to be back in 829, exactly twelve years ago, Rurik reached a commercial contract with Gould for the first time. At that time, he tossed soap to make money. That single business made the two achieve a huge win-win situation, and the cooperation after that became more and more. As he grew older, the Gould family became a rare royal businessman.

Rurik ordered all his entourage to retire, and many of his nobles and generals stationed on the island did not attend this private banquet.

Although it was a divided meal system, the two tables were put together. Gould, his two sons, and Rurik himself, sat cross-legged together, nibbling on the leg of lamb, and gulping at the ale. gavage.

In the eyes of the brothers Heihu and Honghu, their youthful past was no different from their own. The king is never untouchable. After temporarily disarming his power, he is a strong man who rejoices in revenge.

In various senses, Old Gould watched Rurik grow from a baby to what he is now. One of his old men was very open, and his two sons were still reserved.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, looking at the delicious food on the table, and the roast lamb that was full of minced meat, Rurik reckoned that the Gould family’s heavy-salt, heavy-oil, and meaty diet only took a year to eat, and they would lose weight. People who become hemp poles can also become "fat seals".

This is their choice, and it is also their own fault to eat disease. Rurik is more self-control when it comes to eating, plus he is always passively exercising, this body is getting stronger and stronger.

"This time your family has done a great job, I heard some stories. Red Fox and Black Fox, you two are incredible. You guys are very good at making those cunning guys angry, you induce them to raise prices wildly, but let them I made a lot of money..."

Rurik was deliberately polite, the slightly drunk Gould was cheerful, and the two cubs were flattered.

"This is what we should do." Heihu said.

"I would like to serve the king." Red Fox added.

"Very good!" The slightly drunk Rurik was in a very good mood. He knocked on the table and shouted: "During the war, your second brother, the blue fox, specially explained the two of you. Of course I already knew about you, and I was secretly observing whether you were There is potential for me to use. I can't just take Blue Fox's recommendation, and through this opportunity, I think both of you are talented."

This is what the two brothers, the black fox and the red fox, are most eager to hear. Their fat bodies are trembling.

"Now my business tentacles have penetrated deep into the Frankish hinterland, and I have built brand new trading posts in faraway places, one is Rotterstad and the other is Nassau Fort. The blue fox is the earl of Gothenburg, and he will manage it for me in the future. The newly conquered Gotaland region, but I need to give the two Frankish strongholds to people I can trust. They must be young, they must understand business, and most importantly, they must be loyal to me! In my opinion, you two are the best candidates. !"

Isn't this the opportunity the brothers and their father, Old Gould, long for? The brothers hurried to talk, and each swore allegiance to the king.

"Then work hard! I only have two special requests for the two of you!" Rurik, who was in a good mood, continued to point at them, "You are too fat! This is not good. Maybe you should do some military training, such as Like your second brother, the blue fox. The blue fox is an excellent businessman and a warrior recognized by the warriors. The two of you will develop in a faraway place, you will face many problems, and you have to fight at the critical moment. You... Dare to fight?"

The two did hesitate for a while, but then they gritted their teeth and vowed to lose weight and dare to fight.

"Very good, the secret of losing weight is to walk more and fight more, even if it is frequent archery, it is good. The second requirement, you..." Rurik had to think about it, "What do you believe in?"

"It's Odin!" Black Fox didn't want to answer.

"No. You don't have to flatter me." Rurik shook his head, "I understand you. Your family only believes in money! Don't think that claiming to believe in Odin is to flatter me. If you are willing to believe in a god, it is better to believe in Frey, the **** of wealth. ."

"We believe in the king more." The red fox said, "You are the **** of wealth in our family."

"It's very flattering. But for practical reasons, you should learn from your second brother, the blue fox. After you go to the Frankish hinterland, you must believe in their gods, so that you can move freely. You don't have to have any grudges in your heart. Where God blesses you, of course you have to find a local protector when you go to a brand new area. Can you understand what I said?"

The two looked at each other, and they couldn't say that it was impossible, but it was outrageous to suddenly believe in another god, because it was not their own choice.

But out of practical interests, the two nodded and said they were willing to accept the king's arrangement.

"Then it's not too late. I will send you to Hamburg in the south, where do you believe in God. After that, I will reconcile with your second brother Blue Fox. I will not ask you to do things independently for the time being, just be by your second brother's side. After some experience, it will be good for you in the future. After all, according to our tradition, the main wealth of the Gould family is inherited by your eldest brother, the white fox, which is a huge opportunity for the two of you. This is a magnificent era, you You can create your own merit and wealth status in the wider world."

The two brothers worship the king's promotion again and look forward to their own brand new future...

They were already mentally prepared. In the dark and damp mine tunnel, Lu Ye walked forward step by step with the ore basket on his back and the pickaxe in his hand.

The content of the website is incorrect, please download the iRead app to read the correct content. The boy's expression was a little sad, his eyes focused on the empty space in front of him, as if staring at something.

To outsiders, there is nothing in front of Lu Ye, but in fact, in the young man's field of vision, he can see a translucent shadow.

It was like the shadow of a tree, gray and unrecognizable, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The branches were separated from one-third of the tree body to the left and right, supporting a semi-circular crown.

It has been more than a year since he came to this world called Kyushu, and Lu Ye has not yet figured out what it is. He only knows that when his attention is concentrated enough, this shadow tree has a chance to appear in the field of vision. And no one else notices it at all.

What a sad life. The young man sighed.

A year ago, he suddenly woke up in this unfamiliar world. Before he could get acquainted with the environment, the power he was in was overrun by a group of thieves, and many people were killed. He and some other young men and women became that The captive of the thieves was then sent to this mine and became a lowly miner.

Afterwards, he learned from scattered conversations with others that the faction he was in was affiliated with the Haotian League, a sect called Xuantianzong.

The name of this sect sounds cool and tyrannical, but in fact it is just a small sect.

It was the Xieyue Valley under the command of Wanmoling who captured the Xuantian Sect.

The Haotian Alliance and Wan Moling are the two major factions in this world. They are all formed by the union of countless forces, big and small, fighting each other with the intention of completely destroying each other. It is said that it has been going on for hundreds of years.

In Lu Ye's view, this kind of battle is simply a confrontation between the lawful camp and the evil camp. He just accidentally got involved in such a confrontation.

Over the years, wars in the Kyushu continent have been raging. Every year, small forces such as Xuan Tianzong have been uprooted, but soon more forces have sprung up, occupying various territories, making the situation even more chaotic.

Mine slave, just mine slave, Lu Ye comforted himself, compared to those who were killed, he was still alive anyway.

It's not that he has any special ability to survive, but that Xieyue Valley needs some handymen to do things. Someone like Lu Ye who has no cultivation and is still young is undoubtedly the best choice.

In fact, the miners in this vein are not only people from Xuantian Sect, but also some other small families and disciples of small sects.

Evil Moon Valley is not weak. Over the years, it has captured a lot of territory. The original forces on these sites have naturally been destroyed, and some of the available personnel have been sent to various places for enslavement by Evil Moon Valley.

These people, without exception, have one characteristic: they haven't opened their minds yet, and they don't have cultivation bases, so they are easy to control.

There is a saying in the Kyushu Continent, it is difficult for a demon to transform into a form without enlightenment, and it is difficult for a person to cultivate without enlightenment.

If you want to practice, you need to open your spiritual orifices. Only when you have opened your spiritual orifices can you be qualified to practice.

Opening the spiritual orifice is not an easy matter. Ordinary people can open the spiritual orifice after systematic training. However, if they are from a cultivation family or a sect, the percentage may be higher if they have elders' guidance.

Lu Ye couldn't open his spiritual aperture, so he could only make a living by mining in this dim mine.

However, the mine slave is not without a way out. If he succeeds in enlightenment and finds the person in charge to report to him, he will have the opportunity to participate in an assessment. If the assessment is successful, he can become a disciple of Xie Yuegu.

However, there are very few miners who can open their minds. They work all day in this dim environment and can't even get enough to eat. How can they be enlightened.

So basically 99% of the miners have accepted their fate and work hard every day just for a full meal.

Lu Ye had no sense of belonging to the Xuantian Sect. After all, the Xuantian Sect was destroyed as soon as he came to this world, and he did not know who the people in the sect were.

He also doesn't want to be a disciple of Xieyuegu. This is not a serious force. Just hearing the name gives people a sense of evil, and it will be cold sooner or later.

But he can't live here as a miner all his life. What kind of formality is that? He is also an elite in the new era. If he doesn't have a dream, what is the difference between a salted fish and a salted fish.

So for the past year, he has been working hard to enlighten himself. Originally, he thought that only the shadow tree that he could see could provide him with some wonderful help, but until now, the shadow tree is still just a shadow. It also affects his vision.

Lu Ye seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes.

Turning a corner, a faint light appeared in the distance, which was one of the exits of the mine.

Today's harvest is good. If you turn in the ore in the ore basket, you should be able to contribute three points. If you count the accumulation in the past few days, it is about twelve points. Two points are exchanged for two steamed buns, and the remaining ten points are just enough. Change a Qi and Blood Pill.

Qi and Blood Pill is a very low-level medicinal pill, and it is not an aid to enlightenment, but in order to open one's body, it must be filled with Qi and blood. Although Qi and Blood Pill is low-level, it is suitable for people like Lu Ye who are not enlightened.

The reason why Xieyuegu is willing to take out the Qi and Blood Pill is not because of their kindness, but because they understand the way of people's hearts. This cheapest and low-level pill can make people with hope work harder to mine.

For example, Lu Ye works hard every day.

Thirty feet away from the exit of the mine tunnel, Lu Ye's eyes inadvertently glanced at a corner on the left front, where there was a huge boulder.

He kept walking and continued to walk forward until about ten feet before he put down the mining basket he was carrying behind him, tightened the pickaxe in his hand, and took out a moderately sized stone from the mining basket and weighed it a little. .

The next moment, he ran towards the boulder, approached the boulder, slid sideways, stepped on the rock wall of the mine, and swooped down towards the back of the boulder with the help of the rebound force, like a vigorous Cheetah.

The two figures were half-squatting behind the boulder, using the boulder to cover their figures, but they never thought that people would find their tracks.

Hearing the movement, it was too late to see Lu Ye trying to get up.

Under the terrified gazes of the two, Lu Ye raised his hand and threw the ore in his hand, hitting the bridge of one of them's nose. The man immediately let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground on his back, blood dripping from his face.

Lu Ye's mining pick in the other hand shot again, but missed the second person. That person responded well and turned his head to avoid it.

However, Lu Ye had already rushed in front of him, kicked him down, and hit the opponent's lower abdomen. The man was suddenly in pain, and he flew out, fell to his knees, and spat out a mouthful of sour water.

Lu Ye stepped forward, grabbed the other's hair with one hand, saw the other's face clearly, and sneered: Who am I, it turned out to be the two of you brothers!

The two people he knew were disciples of the Liu family. After the site where the Liu family was located was captured by Xieyuegu, some young disciples of the Liu family were sent here to serve as mine slaves.

Strictly speaking, the two brothers, Lu Ye and the Liu family, are connected by the same fate.

The content of the website is updated slowly, please download the iRead app to read the latest chapters. Have I ever said, don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you! As Lu Ye spoke, he picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it down.

This time, the smashing was not light, Liu's second child just snorted and was immediately knocked unconscious.

Lu Ye walked towards Boss Liu who was injured by him before.

Boss Liu's forehead was smashed, his eyes were blurred with blood, he vaguely saw Lu Ye walking towards him, and he was so frightened that he rolled and crawled: "Forgive me, my two brothers didn't know it was you who came here, they thought it was someone else!

The two Liu brothers sneaked into ambush in front of the exit of the mine, naturally they had no good intentions.

Before the two were arrested, they were both spoiled and spoiled. Even if they became mine slaves, they were unwilling to endure hardship. However, the status of mine slaves was low, and the people of Xieyue Valley did not regard mine slaves as human beings, and there was no ore exchange. If you contribute, you can't get food at all.

Therefore, the two brothers often squatted in front of a certain exit of the mine tunnel and robbed the miners who had been singled out. Many people were unlucky because of this. Not only were the ore mined hard every day robbed, but they were also beaten to death.

Last time they just wanted to rob Lu Ye, but they were not opponents and were taught a lesson.

I never thought that it was only a few days ago that I met these two brothers again.

Just like rice raises a hundred kinds of people, there are miners like the Liu brothers who are lazy and lazy, and there are people who have dreams like Lu Ye.

In the past year, Lu Ye's contributions from the exchange of ore, in addition to ensuring daily food and clothing, were all exchanged for Qi and Blood Pills.

He took no less than thirty Qi and Blood Pills.

This makes Lu Ye stronger than most miners. Although his physique is not strong, the power contained in his body has already surpassed that of ordinary people.

It's no problem to deal with two lazy miners.

Boss Liu was still begging for mercy, but Lu Ye pretended not to hear him, grabbed him by the hair, raised the stone in the other hand, and smashed it down.

Lu Ye has seen too many tragedies in his career as a mining slave for more than a year, and he has long understood the truth. In this world of cannibalism, any pity and sympathy are useless.

The miners are not in harmony. The miners from different forces are destined to be unable to unite. For a piece of good ore, the miners often beat their heads and blood.

Every day people die in the mine tunnel, and every time you walk a certain distance, you can see a dead bone scattered on the ground.

There are not a few miners who starved to death because they were robbed.

Boss Liu fell in response.

Lu Ye retrieved his mining pick, put the mining basket on his back again, and walked towards the exit. He didn't kill the Liu brothers, but he was not merciful, but the injured miners generally didn't survive long here.

The spiritual power of a monk is an extremely magical power. Lu Ye once saw a monk in Xieyue Valley take action. Although he did not have too much power, the man just smashed a piece of ore with a light palm.

He also secretly assessed that even the lowest cultivator in Xie Yuegu could easily hang ten of himself.

So when he realized that it was a cultivator who attacked him, Lu Ye knew that he was about to face great trouble.

At the juncture of life and death, he abruptly stopped his steps and jumped back suddenly.

His chest numb, the sound of a broken bone sounded, and Lu Ye flew upside down and fell to the ground.

The severe pain made him sober a lot. After realizing that he was still alive, he immediately got up.

what! The cultivator who shot it was a little surprised. Although he didn't use his full strength just now, he just shot it casually, but it shouldn't be something that the miner could bear.

Strong, plus he just hit him casually and didn't want to kill people deliberately, it's not surprising that the other party can survive.

Opposite Director Yang, Lu Ye was beating a drum in his heart.

The monks in Xieyue Valley generally don't pay attention to the life and death of the miners. They also know that the miners often fight in the mines. Unless they meet them, they basically ignore them.

Only then did Lu Ye beat the Liu brothers to the ground, and they fell to the ground. Turning around, Manager Yang slapped him. From Lu Ye's point of view, it was clear that Manager Yang was teaching him a lesson.
