When she saw the cloth, the corner of Yun Sheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This Zong Wei was really a clown. Earlier, he had forced the Zhou State's Emperor, Ye Chengtian, to cut out fifty percent of the mine's ownership. He was also afraid that the Zhou State's Emperor would go back on his word. In order to prevent others from saying that his imperial seal and signature were fake, he tore off a piece of the Zhou State's Emperor's robe and forced the Zhou State's Emperor to sign it himself before stamping it with his imperial seal.
Only then did Ni Renyi see the ownership of the mineral vein.
Ni Renyi was skeptical. He carefully looked at the ownership of the mine. That piece of cloth was an imperial cloth. The imperial seal and the words were all written by the Zhou State's Emperor himself.
In this way, Ni Renyi had nothing to say.
"I see. Since Lord Summoner has proof, then half of the mine's ownership belongs to you. As for …" Ni Renyi wanted to continue.
"The ownership of the mine is not enough. The ores that are dug out must also be divided into two. Leader Yun, find someone to enter the mine and record all the Purple Gold ores that have been mined. Half of these ores belong to this old man. "Zong Wei looked old-fashioned, but his brain worked faster than anyone else's.
When Ni Renyi heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The Xuan siblings' faces were also as black as the bottom of a pot.
They had originally planned to tamper with the Purple Gold ores that had been mined. With Zong Wei's plan, even if they wanted to tamper with the ores later, they would have no way to do so.
Xuan Wuji's eyes turned. Suddenly, he thought of a plan and whispered in Ni Renyi's ear.
When Ni Renyi heard this, he put on a smile. "Lord Summoner, this official has something to discuss with you. Earlier, you said that His Majesty gave you half of the mine's ownership in order to find the mine. Why don't we divide the ownership of the mine now? This mine is divided into two directions, north and south. Most of the mines in the south have been mined by my Zhou State's villagers. This official thinks that since this is the case, why don't we use the north and south as the boundary? The south belongs to our Zhou State and the north belongs to Lord Summoner? "
Ni Renyi's words were very clever.
However, when Yun Sheng heard this, she sneered in her heart.
With North and South as the boundary, Ni Renyi and Xuan Wuji were truly cunning.
Zong Yi did not enter the mine, so how would he know the distribution of the purple gold ores on the north and south sides?
In fact, this purple gold mine was very unevenly distributed on the north and south sides. Most of the purple gold mines that were easy to dig were on the south side, while the north side was barren.
However … Yun Sheng remembered the strange wall on the north side.
Ni Renyi and Xuan Wuji exchanged glances.
They were certain that Zong Yi had never entered the mine before and would not know the situation inside.
Zong Shiyi glanced at Yun Sheng and saw her nod.
"Alright, I won't take advantage of Zhou State. I'll divide the remaining mine into two. The south will belong to you, and the north will belong to me. Neither the north nor the south is allowed to interfere. "
When Ni Renyi heard this, he nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. He was still afraid that Zong Yi would go back on his word, so he ordered his subordinates to write a contract. Both parties signed it separately, one copy for each person.
Thus, the matter of the mine came to an end.
Ni Renyi ordered his men to escort the mysterious people away.
After Yun Canglang thanked the hunters who came to help, he settled the villagers down and the Heaven Hunting Corps members returned to Southern Cliff Town.
The rescued villagers thanked him profusely. They firmly remembered the kindness of the Heaven Hunting Corps. The Heaven Hunting Corps' reputation also rose because of this incident. However, this was a story for later.
After Yun Sheng returned to the inn, she showed the token with the word "Shao" on it to Yun Canglang.
After Yun Canglang checked it, his expression changed. "Sheng 'er, are you sure this token was found on the mysterious people? This token seems to belong to Tang Yuan and Li Shao's personal guards. "
"It's a pity that the mysterious people have already been taken away by Ni Renyi. If I'm not wrong, Di Hong City, Ni Renyi, and Tang Yuan must have colluded with each other." Yun Sheng felt that it was a pity that two-thirds of the purple gold ore had fallen into the hands of Tang Yuan's people.
"Li Shao is Tang Yuan's second prince. This person is also a top figure, so we need to be more careful. Also, we must have offended Di Hong City this time. We need to be more careful in the future." Yun Canglang thought of the sinister glance Xuan Wuji gave them when he left the mine.
"Second Uncle, Sheng 'er knows what to do. I want to stay at the border for a few more days and develop the purple gold ore vein in the north. The Heaven Hunting Corps' current equipment and members are still too few. After developing the purple gold ore vein, we can obtain more funds. "Yun Sheng told Yun Canglang her thoughts.
"I'll leave the matter of the ore vein to you. Ni Renyi's men have already started to mine the ore vein. What I mean is that after they've finished mining, we'll go in to investigate to avoid any conflicts. "Yun Canglang chose a reliable hunting soldier and handed it to Yun Sheng.
The Heaven Hunting Corps' reputation had spread far and wide. During this period of time, many missions had come to them.
Two pieces of news quickly came from Ni Renyi's side. The first piece of news was about the purple gold ore that had been divided. Yun Sheng and the others had been given a share of the purple gold ore that was worth one million. The second piece of news was about the leader of the mysterious people. Not long after that leader was captured by Zhou State's army, he "committed suicide" with a group of other mysterious people.
Ni Renyi even hung his corpse at the entrance of Southern Cliff Town. However, his face had been scratched into a mess.
On the night after the corpse was hung up, a few fast horses crossed the southern border and headed towards Tang Yuan.
Late at night three days later, in the capital of Tang Yuan, the most powerful country in the east of the Boundless Continent.
As the country with the most mages on the continent, Tang Yuan was emitting the aura of magic everywhere.
In the population ratio here, the ratio of ordinary people to mages was as high as three to one. This ratio meant that one out of four people was a mage.
There was a record of the continent's historians. Among the five major countries on the continent, other than the East Imperial Capital, the other five had their own characteristics.
Their characteristics could be seen just by looking at the city walls of their respective imperial capitals.
For example, Zhou State and Later Qin, countries that worshipped martial arts, most of their imperial capitals' city gates were built with huge stones. The city walls were sturdy and could withstand the impact of thousands of troops and horses.
Penglai was a natural sea country. They used the sea as their wall and countless sea beasts were their best defense.
As for the Immortal Abode, it was a country of elves. The everlasting elven forest was the most natural city wall.
As for Tang Yuan's imperial capital, Bianliang, it looked no different from an ordinary city. However, upon closer inspection, one would realize that there were countless magic arrays drawn on the city walls of Bianliang. This was a country of magic.
