Chapter 360 Unfortunately, they are enemies
The town at the entrance of Shu Road.
The best room in the inn is just a little bigger than the other rooms, with better lighting and view.
The room is furnished with a carved wooden bed and a solid wood round table. In the corner there is a decorative high-necked vase with a few pine branches inserted in it, which adds a touch of elegance to the room.
However, the man in brocade clothes sitting at the round table had an aura too noble and still looked out of place in this scene.
"Master, the matter of the iron mine and the iron man cannot be concealed. People from various countries have sent letters back, and a large number of people will be rushing here soon. The Shu Road belongs to me, Beixiang. If this matter is not handled properly, it may lead to chaos." The accompanying black-clothed guard stood aside with his brows tightly furrowed.
The man's expression was calm and composed.
In the afternoon the sun shone through the window, and a beam of light hit the round table.
He spread out his palm, holding the pillar of golden light in his palm, his meaning unclear, "Were there eight Iron Guards originally stationed at Youshan to guard the mine?"
"Yes, exactly eight." The guard guessed his master's thoughts and paused before saying, "The Iron Men who appeared at Tianfeng Mountain were indeed eight, but they were slightly different from the Iron Guards. Master, the information presented by Ji Xintang stated that those Iron Men could burrow underground."
The man's eyes fell on the handkerchief spread out beside him. On the handkerchief was the raw mineral stone that Ji Xintang had presented along with the letter. It had not been refined and was completely black.
He raised his lips and smiled faintly, "Let's assume those iron men are really divine weapons, but the fact that the Dark Iron also appears here, too many coincidences make it no longer a coincidence."
The guard's face was filled with surprise. "Master, do you suspect that Su Jiuni made all of this? But there's a lot of iron ore discovered at the foot of Tianfeng Mountain. Even if she's so capable, how could she have found a whole vein of ore under so many eyes and ears?!"
The exile area was now firmly guarded by four lines of defense, and their people could not get in at all. However, outside the lines of defense, the nine countries had deployed spies, and as long as Su Jiuni came out, there would be people watching her all the way.
There was nothing unusual along the way from the place of exile to the Shu Road.
There were only eight people from the exile area traveling together throughout the trip.
Could it be possible that Su Jiuni could create a mineral vein out of thin air and stuff the mineral vein into Tianfeng Mountain quietly?
This is simply a fantasy!
"It's truly unbelievable. But this is just my guess. Perhaps those iron men are truly divine soldiers." The man stood up, hands behind his back, and walked to the window. In the bright sunlight, he looked towards Tianfeng Mountain, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "Whether it's true or not, Beixiang has been pushed to the forefront of this storm, and it won't subside anytime soon."
The wolf cub grew up and began to learn to fight back.
If this was a plan set up by Su Jiuni and others, it would be a very good plan.
He is worthy of being Huo Ziheng's disciple.
Regardless of whether the Iron Man is a divine weapon or not, Bei Xiang has no way to argue, and he is even less able to argue.
If he claimed that the Iron Man was not a divine soldier, he would need to provide evidence to convince the other nations. How could he do that? He couldn't possibly reveal the Iron Guards behind him.
Even if he revealed it, the other countries might not believe it. They would only use the trick against him and accuse Beixiang of having obtained the magic weapon a long time ago, and force him and Beixiang to hand over the method of making the Iron Guard.
But if there is no evidence, we can only assume that the Iron Man is the Divine Soldier.
When the magic weapon appears, how can the countries not fight for it?
No matter how powerful Beixiang is, it cannot be an enemy of all the countries at the same time.
So, will the divine weapons and the dark iron be handed over? Will they be divided?
Once a compromise is reached, the Shu Road, which has always been subject to ownership disputes, will probably be redivided and will no longer be the area of Beixiang.
This move put Beixiang in a difficult position, making it difficult to back down and unable to retreat.
At the same time, many other countries were also included in the game.
The nine countries are about to fall into chaos.
The instigator, Su Jiuni and his group, can take advantage of the chaos in the nine countries and do what they really want to do when they have no time to take care of other things.
And Dai Viet can take this opportunity to recuperate and stay out of trouble without being disturbed.
A strategy that kills several birds with one stone.
"If the land of exile belongs to my Beixiang, I will treat Su Jiuni and his group as guests of honor. With them around, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of the country." The man sighed softly, then shook his head and chuckled.
Unfortunately, they are enemies.
So Su Jiuni had no choice but to die.
"Feiyun, send someone to Youshan to check if there's anything unusual in the mountain range where the ore was taken."
"Send another letter to Ji Xintang, asking him to continue to send people to closely monitor Su Jiuni and her group. Don't let your guard down at all."
"I will set off in a moment. I want to go to Tianfeng Mountain myself to take a look."
Guard Feiyun immediately accepted the order, "Yes!"
…
Tianfeng Mountain in September seems to belong to two different spaces from other mountains in Shu Road.
The temperature in the morning and evening is so cold that it can freeze people into popsicles.
Only when the sun sets at noon does the popsicle melt, giving people a breath of fresh air.
The old man specially chose the highest strange rock as a resting place and flew to the top to be isolated from the world.
"Grandpa Du, it won't be much better for you to stand on that. The wind will blow your bird's nest into a wind-blown bun." Under the strange rock, Su Wu looked up and laughed at the old man.
Du Buqin snorted coldly, "You bastard, you don't know shit. The closer I get to the sun, the warmer I'll be! Hurry up and light a fire! Make it burn brighter, and then I'll go down and warm myself by the fire!"
The group had been climbing Tianfeng Mountain for two days. They still couldn't see what the top of Tianfeng Mountain looked like when they looked up, but they could occasionally find traces of the followers when they looked down.
The old man standing on the strange rock, shivering in a thin blanket, gloated again, "When we're cold and hungry, we can stop to make a fire and eat. But those little followers can't do that. They're afraid of being discovered, so they have to hide carefully. Hehehehe! If we climb up a little further, they will stay here without us having to do anything! Oh, we're really trying our best. We're risking our lives, aren't we?"
Tianbao naturally couldn't hide the movements in the dark, but she didn't care.
If we kill these people now, new Hawkeyes will follow immediately.
It would not be too late to take action when they are about to reach the top of the mountain. The time difference between falling and returning is enough for them to leave this place without any worries.
However, she glanced down and said, "A lot more people came up here today."
"The leaders of each country must have received orders and are acting accordingly. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the time to pay attention to us right now." Bai Yu half-lay on the grass, stretching his arms and legs, his posture lazy and unconcerned. "There's an expert who can help me, Tianbao. Guess who it is?"
"Iron Man's original owner." Tianbao didn't even think about it.
When the magic weapon appeared, the only one who could keep his sanity and hold on to them was that man.
The Iron Man and the Dark Iron appeared at Tianfeng Mountain at the same time. He must have had doubts in his heart and would not easily believe the story of the magic weapon.
But I won’t completely disbelieve it.
Because now the iron man can "escape underground".
Even if the person has doubts in his heart, he will still be curious about this.
Bai Yu stretched his muscles and scrambled over, sitting cross-legged in front of the girl. He held his hands to his cheeks, his eyes curved. "Tianbao, I think that person must want to capture us, hoping to learn the Iron Man's method of 'escape underground'."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was knocked aside by someone. Wheat Ear cut in forcefully, glaring sideways with her nose pointed upwards. "You're so smart! Stay away from me! Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Bai Yu, "..."
Bai Yu complained, "I didn't do anything, and I can't even sit here?"
"Sit further away!"
"That's far enough!"
"Bing'er, come here and sit down!"
Bing'er came over and cut in again, squeezing out some space for Bai Yu who was lying on his side.
Bai Yu, "..."
The three Su brothers laughed so hard that they fell over, cheering for Xiao Mai Sui together, "Little Junior Sister, well done!"
Tian Bao laughed. She and Bai Yu had grown up together, playing and fighting like this all the time, so their closeness had become natural.
The brothers and sisters seemed to react a little too much.
"Tianbao, they all bullied me!" Bai Yu complained.
Tian Bao was helpless, "Be quiet, Grandpa Du is coming to beat you up."
Bai Yu immediately looked up, and met the old man's triangular eyes looking down at him. Like a vulture aiming at a rabbit, his eyes were sinister and fierce. "..."
