There were very few people who knew about the purple gold mine at the border of the Great Zhou Empire. Even Yun Canglang had almost forgotten about it.
Yun Canglang didn't know how Ye Beiming knew about it.
Back then, Later Qin and Tang Yuan had formed an alliance to invade Zhou State because of that mine.
Due to their defeat, the mine hadn't been excavated and the exact location of the mine was still unknown.
"Empress, don't meddle. We know what to do about the Crown Prince. Have everyone leave. This … who did you say you were and what is your relationship with Master Zong? "The emperor of Zhou State was a sly old fox. The Crown Prince's injuries had already been healed by the people of the Temple. Compared to a priceless mine, the Imperial Family's personal grudges could be put aside for the time being.
When Empress Qi saw this, she didn't dare to say anything. However, she also didn't dare to disobey the emperor of Zhou State. She could only glare fiercely at Master Zong and Yun Sheng, who had popped out of nowhere, before angrily leaving with a group of armored soldiers.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this commoner is the vice commander of the Heavenly Hunting Corps, Yan Yun. The Heavenly Hunting Corps is a hunting corps formed from the remnants of the Yun Clan army. The reason General Yun wants to resign is also because of the hunting corps. "Yun Sheng unhurriedly showed her hunter badge and Great Magus badge.
"Yan Yun's words are exactly what this subject is thinking. Your Majesty should remember that eight years ago, due to the collusion of Later Qin and Tang Yuan, our Zhou State army was defeated at the border of Nanming City and lost an important purple gold mine. When the armistice was signed, the three countries were not allowed to excavate the purple gold mine according to the agreement. "Yun Canglang saw this and continued.
Purple gold ore was a very precious ore. It was the main material used to refine the Everlasting Purple Gold Coin. In addition, it could be used to refine all kinds of high level weapons and magic tools.
The amount of purple gold ore on the continent was very limited.
Back then, in the area of Zhou State's Nanming City, they had accidentally discovered a purple gold mine. That was why the Zhou State's Emperor had ordered Yun Canglang to lead a group of Zhou State troops to set up camp nearby.
Who would have thought that Later Qin and Tang Yuan's spies would find out about it?
"We have also heard about the purple gold mine. However, the purple gold mine is located at the border of the three countries and is not easy to mine. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, the original armistice agreement stipulated that none of the three countries could exploit it. "The Emperor of Zhou State's expression softened slightly.
To the Zhou State, the benefits that a good purple gold mine could bring were not to be underestimated. As long as a bit of purple gold was fused into the weapons, the combat ability of the army would greatly increase.
"That being said, according to the residents at the border, Later Qin and Tang Yuan kept to the agreement on the surface, but in reality, they were doing one thing in the open and another in the dark. In the past few years, Tang Yuan and Later Qin's spies have frequently entered and exited the border area. I am afraid that they are also investigating the whereabouts of the purple gold mine. "Yun Canglang's face was full of worry.
The three countries' agreement stipulated that the mine could not be exploited, but if Yun Canglang investigated as a hunter, it would be much easier to do things.
"Your Majesty kept your promise, but Later Qin and Tang Yuan might have broken the agreement. They allowed a non-official hunting squad to exploit the mine. This way, our Zhou State would not be able to directly send troops to suppress them. I also considered this point, which is why I changed the Yun Family Army to a hunting squad. I also requested to resign from my position as General and secretly head to the southern border. "Yun Canglang was also a smart person. When Ye Beiming reminded him, he immediately had a countermeasure in his heart.
Yun Canglang immediately knelt down and said that he was willing to head to the southern border as a hunting squad to wash away his previous humiliation and take back the ownership of the purple gold mine.
"This … the Yun Family Army has only been reorganized recently and there aren't many people. Can they really compare to a hunting squad that has undergone training?" The Emperor of Zhou State still had some doubts about Yun Canglang's words.
The inability to exploit the purple gold mine had always been a sore point in his heart. However, he didn't expect that Later Qin and Tang Yuan would use the hunting squad to secretly investigate the purple gold mine.
Using the identity of a civilian to seize the purple gold mine was indeed a good plan.
"Your Majesty can rest assured on this point. With Zong Yi and his magical beast, as long as the other side doesn't have a sacred beast summoner or a magus of Sky rank or above, we will definitely be able to take back the purple gold mine." Yun Sheng winked at Zong Yi again. The latter very sensibly echoed Yun Sheng's words.
"Cough cough, I originally didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, but I promised Vice Commander Yan's master, Emperor Zao, that I would definitely assist her. She also has a good relationship with Yun Canglang, so I will do Yun Canglang a favor this time and help you take back the purple gold mine. However, I have a condition. After we take back the purple gold mine, I want 50% of the ore income. "When Zong Yi said this, the Emperor of Zhou State was even more shocked.
The way he looked at Yun Sheng immediately changed.
That pretty female magus who looked no more than ten years old actually had a master of Emperor Zao's level?
If these words came out of anyone else's mouth, the Emperor of Zhou State wouldn't believe it.
However, these words came out of Zong Yi's mouth, so the power was different.
Who was Zong Yi? He himself was a sacred beast summoner, and he even had a commander-level summoned beast.
If he wanted to, he could be a person who could be bestowed with the title of king and minister in any country. However, he was willing to follow a silly little girl.
And this little girl was merely the vice commander of a newly formed hunting squad.
Yet, he was so respectful to Yun Sheng. He was more than a hundred times more respectful to her than he was to the Emperor of Zhou State.
In that case, it could only be because that female magus had a master of Emperor Zao's level.
Although the Emperor of Zhou State was a warrior and had the support of the Dharma Temple, he knew how terrifying Emperor Zao was.
Regardless of whether that female magus's master belonged to the Zao State, just the fact that he was Emperor Zao recognized by Zong Yi was already very impressive.
An Emperor Zao meant that he had a powerful magical beast army behind him.
In addition to Yun Bahe, who was in the Martial Saint General's Mansion, the Yun family had the support of a Martial Saint and Emperor Zao.
What a terrifying Yun family!
The Emperor of Zhou State's heart was already beating like a drum. If he didn't allow Yun Canglang to resign today, the Yun family and that powerful Emperor Zao would definitely be dissatisfied.
If he allowed Yun Canglang to resign, he still had a chance to take back the rights to the purple gold mine.
However, in the future, he would lose control of the Yun family. If the hunting squad that the Yun family reorganized grew stronger, it would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Zhou State military.
The Emperor of Zhou State weighed the pros and cons.
However, he was still the Emperor of Zhou State. Although he had doubts in his heart, he quickly came to a conclusion.
"How dare you! All the mines in Zhou State belong to me. You're just a poor commoner who injured the Crown Prince. I didn't kill you because you're a talent. I didn't think that you would dare to ask for so much! "The Emperor of Zhou State's expression changed, but he rejected Zong Yi's request.
