The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure
Chapter 137
Quincy West's night was quiet and desolate.
Probably only a few sporadic figures can be found near the tavern, and it looks different after entering the tavern.
——Life is not easy, and I am used to getting drunk.
The rest of the place is estimated to be haunted only by feral cats, looking for food when no one is around.
At this time, this tavern is very different.
The door of the tavern was closed, a closed sign was hung outside, and the flames of the burning kerosene lamps inside were also extinguished.
——It looked dark, as if no one was there.
However, the real situation in the tavern is not the case.
All the people in this tavern had their hands tied tightly, their mouths gagged, and they knelt on the ground.
Among them, there is also a caravan that secretly came from the San Airo Empire to Quincy West to do business.
After Mayor Vernon bought off the non-commissioned officers stationed at the border checkpoints, some of the backdoor deals turned to the surface—a collusion between Quincy West officials, robbers, and outside businessmen.
Just one word "profit" drove most people to participate.
——The mayor secretly arranged everything, and the robbers became a "weapon" in the hands of the mayor, doing everything that could not be done on the surface.
The foreign businessmen have become their money pockets.
When Xia Zuoyi first entered Quincy West, she did not act rashly.
After all, this city has almost been completely built into his territory by Mayor Vernon, and if he is not careful, the chessboard that is slowly being laid out will be disrupted.
If something unexpected happens...
Not only will the fish that slipped through the net escape, but the impoverished people imprisoned in the village will also be affected...
In order to catch all the "fish" tonight, Xia Zuoyi made deployments and ambushes in various places in Quincy West in advance - outside the city, in taverns, in the village...
There is also a team of cavalry sent to the border to chase the robbers and caravans that have been sent by the oil, and to further explore the situation on the border of the San Airo Empire.
Because Walker hooked up with the proprietress of the tavern, Xia Zuoyi and Taylor were "betrayed" along the way.
——Walker embezzled their property as a surrender gift, and they were taken to the village and imprisoned.Being labored.
After investigation, this village is likely to be a stronghold for robbers.
The bandits pretended to be ordinary people, swaggeringly lived in Kuncesili, and enslaved the people in the city who had been tortured by them...
Xia Zuoyi didn't have to go into the village to confirm the existence of the bandit den.
But as lord of Designia, there is nothing more reassuring than his personal presence at the rescue of those ravaged by long toil.
If Quincy West is gradually falling into darkness at this moment.
Then, the appearance of Xia Zuoyi will shine into the hearts of these people like a bright beam of light—despair and suffering will eventually pass.
Xia Zuoyi showed up in Quincy West in person, in the village, to let them know that this place will be saved and not forgotten.
…………
One side window of the tavern was slightly opened.
Valk stood behind, hidden in the darkness, but his eyes were fixed on the dark night outside the window.
In the dimly lit tavern, the soldiers' spears were pointing motionlessly at the man who was tied up and kneeling on the ground.
Not long after, several soldiers came in from the back door of the tavern and came to Valker's side to report softly.
"My lord, all the mined minerals were put into round wooden barrels, scattered and hidden in the warehouse where the wine barrels were piled up..."
"We have already counted, a total of 28 barrels of minerals."
"In addition, after questioning, the number of round wooden barrels that have been shipped out of Quincy West is sixteen..."
After the soldier finished his report in a low voice, he stood aside and waited.
At this time, Valk's eyes caught a white shadow that slowed down under the night, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "We can start to act."
"...Take away all the minerals loaded in the round wooden barrel and these people."
"Yes, my lord." The soldier took the order.
Afterwards, these terrified people were dragged out of the tavern through the back door...
Outside the city, Bana and his soldiers had already set up an ambush.
A chirp came as the signal.
He raised his head and saw the familiar shadow appearing under the night dotted with moon and stars, and waved his hand...
…………
At this moment, the village.
Xia Zuoyi, Taylor, and the people who were detained in the same room with them were taken to the mine near the back mountain.
Even Xiao Bowen, who was having a high fever, was not spared.
He wakes up being rudely shaken by the guards.
If Bunier hadn't been struggling to hug his younger brother, little Bowen would have been thrown to the ground immediately...
Even though he hugged him in time, Bunier was severely beaten by the guard because of his disobedience.
After such vigorous shaking, the child with a high fever woke up.
He was drowsily held in the arms of the middle-aged man Todd who had helped them earlier. This night, if little Bowen hadn't persisted, I'm afraid...
Think here.
Bunier clenched his fists tightly, something flashed in his eyes, and then he hid all his resentment.
At this moment, Xia Zuoyi put her hand on Bunier's shoulder suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Be patient, it's almost over..."
If his prediction is correct, the outside has already started to act.
Moreover, in the Riffins Mountains...
The corners of Bunier's mouth twitched, and his hair fell down, blocking his slightly gloomy vision.
After arriving at the mine, Xia Zuoyi found that besides them, there were several other people imprisoned in other rooms.
—they are here together.
The guards were walking around not far from the mine with some equipment.
Seeing this, Taylor said softly beside Xia Zuoyi, "They probably found the center of the mine."
The center of the so-called mine is to dig down. After digging to a certain extent, a large number of minerals will appear.
And liquid minerals like "devil's sweat beads" only need a suitable location to penetrate the deep oil layer, so as to obtain a steady stream of minerals.
The location of the exploratory well was wrong.
Because the oil is not evenly distributed underneath.
And the depth of the oil layer is also not the same, if the location is wrong, the amount of oil gushing out is naturally not much.
For drilling oil wells, selecting the location on the ground to drill wells is the most important link.
For example, the first step in oil exploration.
Sometimes there will be oil seedlings on the surface, and the existence of oil seedlings means that there must be oil under the ground.
If you drill a well near here, the success rate will definitely be much higher.
The next important part is to look at
How deep to drill the well from the ground.
— Most of the time, drilling an oil well is a matter of luck.
Quincy West's mayor, Vernon, was able to discover the existence of this flammable liquid underground, and it was purely by chance, a "lucky" discovery...
This made him keenly aware of the interests involved.
——The first mine to be dug here is a place that was sunken and exposed a little oil.
After that, it was ordered by Vernon to dig deep.
But later, Vernon found that there were not many devil's sweat gushing out of the mine, so he ordered people to slowly explore other places.
There are signs of excavation both near and far from the mine.
Now, the group has identified a site to dig down.
At such an important moment of decision, even the leader of this group of bandits came in person.
Xia Zuoyi was staring at the fierce-looking bandit leader with scars all over his face.
He didn't pay attention to the flashing eyes of Bunier standing beside him, and a look of determination appeared on his face.
——Rather than letting everyone suffer here, it is better to drag these wicked people into the abyss together, and fall into the arms of the devil...
If the "devil's sweat" can come up from the ground and flood this place.
Bunier thought—he wanted to snatch the scimitars or big swords from the guards even with all his might.
When the iron objects rub against each other, the sparks that burst out must be able to ignite the "devil's sweat".
However, before Bunier waited for the opportunity to act—they were brought to a certain location and just about to start digging, countless arrows shot from nowhere.
"Shh".
An arrow shot into the chests of the surrounding guards in an instant before Bunier's eyes.
The fierce bandit leader with a face full of scars was also shot in the thigh by an arrow...
There was panic.
Just at this moment, before everyone reacted to flee or do anything, a wolf howl resounded through the entire village in an instant.
The Liffins Mountains behind the village have long been besieged by bandits.
Under their strict surveillance, not a single fly could fly out... But tonight seems to be an exception.
A snow-white wolf stood on a low cliff at some point, its ice-blue eyes reflected the bright moonlight, making it even more cold and mysterious.
The white wolf ran down and came near the mine almost in the blink of an eye.
Just as the white wolf ran down, two tigers of opposite colors suddenly jumped out from the other side.
There was a cry of an eagle in the sky, and a huge snow-white shadow rushed down, and a pair of sharp claws instantly grabbed a guard who was about to escape.
The watchman's shoulder was immediately pierced by sharp claws, and then he screamed and was thrown to the ground again. After rolling a few times, he was restrained by the soldiers who followed.
At this time, the white wolf had already arrived at Xia Zuoyi's side.
Taylor pulled a thin, limp wire from the hem of his clothes.
He twisted the wire to align with the shackles on his wrists, only to hear a "click", and the shackles were opened smoothly.
Immediately, he first opened the iron chains on Xia Zuoyi's hands and feet, and then opened the shackles on his own feet.
Tyler dropped the wire.
He saw that the lord was guarded by white wolves, and soldiers with scimitars began to rush around, so he also rushed into the chaotic crowd...
Not long after, Taylor quickly clamped down on the man guarding them, broke his wrist mercilessly, and found the key to the shackles from him...
All this happened unexpectedly, and Bunier, who was watching directly, opened his mouth wide open, looking like he couldn't come back to God.
He looked at the huge white wolf in a daze, and an unbelievable thought could not help but arise in his heart.
"You, you, you are..."
Xia Zuoyi blinked at him and said, "I told you, it's almost over."
"Bunier, do you want to take revenge yourself?"
Tyler came to help them unshackle their wrists and ankles.
Little Bowen couldn't bear it anymore and passed out. He was being held in the arms of the middle-aged man Todd at this time. Todd didn't move, his expression seemed to be frozen.
When everyone slowly came back to their senses, the battle was over.
In this place that made them extremely desperate and difficult, all these villains who made them unable to resist were all solved.
——The leader of the bandit was arrested, some died, and the rest were tied up and fell to the ground...
And they were rescued.
The plan that Bunier thought up secretly died before it was implemented.
However, he laughed and cried.
The night was destined to be restless—the whole city of Quincy West shook.
And at the moment of dawn, with the sound of the bell, everyone almost gathered at the city gate of Quincy West facing the direction of the San Airo Empire.
In front of the city gate is the border between the Designia territory and the San Aero Empire.
Probably only a few sporadic figures can be found near the tavern, and it looks different after entering the tavern.
——Life is not easy, and I am used to getting drunk.
The rest of the place is estimated to be haunted only by feral cats, looking for food when no one is around.
