In just one day.
Qiu Xiao's secret letter reached the hands of Pirate King Qiu Tianwei. There were only a few simple paragraphs on it.
It was true that there was a gold mine on Wangya Island. The reserves were astronomical and unprecedented. More than 50,000 jin of gold had been extracted from the mine alone. The mine was densely packed with golden sand, shining brightly. It was not uncommon to see a formed dog head gold.
The handwriting, the special seal, and even some special mistakes in the words, all proved that this was Qiu Xiao's personal letter.
Then was there 50,000 gold in the mine on Wangya Island?
There really wasn't that much.
Shen Lang had used a huge sum of money and melted down all 400,000 gold coins. But even so, it was only about 28,000 jin.
The rest was copper.
Those huge gold bricks that weighed hundreds of jin were actually copper.
Seeing Qiu Xiao's secret letter, Qiu Tianwei almost couldn't breathe.
That greed almost swallowed him completely.
How amazing was the reserves of this gold mine?
Not to mention anything else, just the 50,000 jin of gold in the mine was worth fighting.
He was not like Jinyu Count, who needed to spend an astronomical amount of money to hire an army and a fleet.
The pirate army and warships of Furious Tide City were ready-made. Taking down Wangya Island and taking 50,000 jin of gold would be a big profit, not to mention taking down this super gold mine.
He even regretted authorizing Qiu Xiao to negotiate with Xuanwu. Why did he say half?
This was an astronomical amount of wealth.
However, he still found an alchemy Taoist priest.
"Taoist priest, this situation is not right." Qiu Tianwei said.
The alchemy Taoist priest said, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Tianwei said, "I have seen several gold mines, and there is no gold sand in the soil. Even if it is a rich mine, it can't be this high. It is very rare for a gold mine to be able to mine 50,000 jin of gold a year, but the Kim family has already mined more than 1 million gold coins, which is equivalent to 100,000 jin. "
This was not false.
Modern technology was so advanced that a gold mine could only mine a few hundred tons of gold every year at most.
The Black Tortoise Earl's Mansion had already taken out 1,100,000 gold coins, which was a total of 80,000 jin, or 40 tons.
Qiu Tianwei said, "There's also a gold mine. Formed Dog Head Gold is very rare. It's impossible for it to appear on a large scale. Could it be a scam?"
The alchemist shook his head and said, "On the contrary, this can prove that the gold mine on the Cliff Gazing Island is real."
Qiu Tianwei said: "What do you mean?"
The Daoist alchemist said, "This gold mine isn't just a natural gold mine, it's an ancient gold vein."
Chou Tianwei's body trembled violently, and said in disbelief: "Ancient Gold Vein?"
What was the Ancient Metal Vein?
To put it simply, it was a super tomb of the ancient times, or a treasury of the ancient empires.
When the world was destroyed, the entire world was turned upside down.
The land became the sea, and the sea became the mountains.
The earth was crazily tearing and compressing, producing an astonishing high temperature.
This temperature was enough to melt everything, including gold.
Therefore, the gold formed a golden river underground, flowing everywhere and scattering among the soil.
When the earth's temperature dropped, the gold solidified again, either in the shape of Dog Head Gold, or in the shape of golden sand.
Therefore, the reserves of the Ancient Metal Vein were usually very shocking, and the gold content in the ore was much higher than normal gold mines.
Once an Ancient Metal Vein was discovered, it was no different from picking gold from the ground.
Qiu Tianwei said, "Shen Lang is cunning and vicious, could it be that all of this is just an act?"
The alchemist alchemist said, "Using more than a million gold coins to act? Where did he get the money? How many forces in this world can take out more than a million gold coins? "
Qiu Tianwei said, "Could it be the Heavenly Law Association?"
The alchemist alchemist said, "Is the Heavenly Law Association crazy? Taking out more than a million gold coins to act for Shen Lang? Why? "
That's right, the Heavenly Law Association isn't crazy.
It's possible to take out tens of millions of gold coins to invest in the future monarch of a kingdom.
It's just a Count House, investing so much money, who knows how many years it will take to recover.
The alchemist alchemist said, "Moreover, the Heavenly Law Association can't take out so much gold, many of their trade routes have been taken by the Yin Yuan Association, and many countries have lost their right to mint money."
Qiu Tianwei said, "In other words, there is no doubt that there is a gold mine on Wangya Island?"
The alchemist alchemist said, "It's a Metal Vein, not a gold mine."
Qiu Tianwei said, "Then according to the Daoist alchemist's estimate, how much reserves does this Metal Vein have?"
The alchemist alchemist said, "I don't know, but the last Ancient Metal Vein in the Great Jin Kingdom has been mined for more than 30 years. In the hundred year war between the Great Yan Empire and the Great Qian Kingdom more than 20 years ago, the Great Jin Kingdom sent 1.3 million troops to cross the border to attack the Great Qian Kingdom. From this, it can be seen how rich the Great Jin Kingdom has become. "
Qiu Tianwei couldn't breathe.
The alchemist alchemist said, "My Lord, you hold the Golden Mountain Island in your left hand, and the Ancient Metal Vein in your right hand, this is a sign of success."
"Let me think, let me think." Qiu Tianwei's body was burning.
This was an extremely greedy and paranoid person.
Don't look at how he was desperately trying to find a flaw in the Wangya Island's gold mine, as if he was trying to prove that the gold mine was fake.
But in reality, he had already believed it in his heart. If you told him that there was no gold mine at all, and that everything was fake, he would fight you to the death.
"Come!" Qiu Tianwei said.
Immediately, a black shadow flew in.
This was his trusted expert.
"Go to Wangya Island and tell the young master that the previous negotiation conditions are canceled, 50% is impossible, 80%."
"If Xuan Wu Mansion wants to live, then sell 80% of the gold mine's annual production. Furthermore, my Raging Tide City also wants to station troops on Wangya Island and participate in the mining of the gold mine. "
"If you refuse, then we will meet on the battlefield. I will lead tens of thousands of troops and wipe the Kim family off the face of this world."
"Yes!" The trusted expert flew away.
… …
Qiu Xiao and his 2000 pirates had already stayed on Wangya Island for four days.
At the beginning, they were on high alert as if they were facing a great enemy.
But now …
They couldn't be too relaxed.
Xuan Wu Mansion was too cowardly.
The pirates stole the Kim family's food and meat. Xuan Wu didn't dare to make a sound.
The two sides had conflicts, conflicts, and fights.
Xuan Wu still didn't dare to pursue the matter, and would only suppress the Kim family's warriors.
Not only that.
Qiu Xiao's 2000 pirates pressed forward step by step, constantly eroding and occupying the territory of Wangya Island.
The soldiers of Xuan Wu Mansion retreated step by step.
The newly built defense line, the newly built barracks, were all taken away by the two thousand pirates.
The Kim family's army had almost retreated to the mountain.
Moreover, these pirates were not an army, they had no discipline to begin with.
After doing whatever they wanted for four days, all vigilance was thrown out of the window, and they were completely relaxed.
"Hahaha, the Kim family is all useless, not a single one of them is useful."
"As expected of our king's defeated generals, they are getting worse with each generation."
"The houses that have just been built, they haven't even had the time to live in, and we've already lived in them."
"The meat that has just been shipped, they haven't had the time to eat it, and we've already eaten it. The rice wine that has just been shipped, they haven't had the time to drink it, and we've already drunk it. "
The cold wind was blowing outside, and the pirates stayed in the barracks that had just been built, roasting the fire, eating the meat, and drinking the wine, feeling very happy.
Looking at the open space outside not far away, the warriors of Xuan Wu Mansion were sitting cross-legged, enduring the cold wind, gnawing on the cornbread with difficulty, and drinking cold water.
They couldn't help it, the house was robbed, the meat was robbed, and even the pot and firewood were taken away.
From the looks of it, these warriors of the Black Tortoise Count's residence were truly a tragic sight, especially when compared to these pirates.
"Being a noble, you're really a disgrace to your ancestors. Brothers on the other side, what's the point of being a soldier like this? Why don't you join us and become pirates?"
"I've seen through these nobles, each of them bullies the weak, fears the strong, and is afraid of death. Not to mention that they don't dare to say anything when their meat is robbed, in order to survive, they can even sell their wives and mothers' butts. "
"Not only their mothers' butts can be sold, even their own butts can be sold."
"Shen Lang is just a pretty boy, if he sells his butts to you, do you want them?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Xuan Wu invited the Young Master to a banquet, maybe he will sell Shen Lang's butts to the Young Master."
"That's not bad, although our Young Master likes women, he won't refuse a beautiful man."
"When the Young Master comes back, we must ask how Shen Lang tastes, and how does he compare to women?"
… …
The best house on Wangya Island was brightly lit.
Xuan Wu Mansion was holding a banquet to entertain Qiu Xiao.
It was said that a small banquet was held every three days, and a big banquet was held every five days.
After Qiu Xiao came to Wangya Island, there was a banquet every day.
Today, Shen Lang finally came.
Although this Qiu Xiao was arrogant, he was also very suspicious and treacherous. He brought his own food and wine to every banquet, and he didn't touch the things that the Kim family prepared for him.
And even when he was proud, he controlled his alcohol and didn't get drunk at all.
So even if he wanted to hurt him, he couldn't find a chance.
This person's martial arts were extremely high.
Of course, it was not a problem for several masters in Xuan Wu Mansion to defeat him, but it would be difficult to make him stay.
Moreover, every time he attended a banquet, he would bring over a hundred elite warriors.
He was really careful to the extreme.
"Shen Lang, when I came to Wangya Island, you were not there. Where did you go? Are you looking down on me? "Qiu Xiao laughed.
Shen Lang smiled bitterly and didn't answer.
"Bang!"
Qiu Xiao slammed his fist on the table and said sternly, "You don't answer me, are you looking down on me?"
Without saying a word, Shen Lang directly untied his clothes, revealing countless scars and teeth marks on his body.
"I was ravaged by a tigress and have been recuperating until now." Shen Lang said faintly, "In fact, it hurts to walk now. I really had no choice but to come to Wangya Island, otherwise I would still be lying in bed."
Qiu Xiao frowned and said, "This is Jin Mulan's doing?"
Although Jin Mulan had been booked by the Crown Prince, Qiu Xiao still didn't want her to have anything to do with Shen Lang.
Although I can't sleep with the goddess Jin Mulan, I definitely can't sleep with a useless person like you, Shen Lang.
"No." Shen Lang said, "The other female T-Rex."
"Hahahaha …" Qiu Xiao suddenly laughed gloatingly.
From this, he got a message that the marriage between Shen Lang and Jin Mulan was definitely in name only. Otherwise, why would Shen Lang need to find a woman outside, and even find such a fierce and vulgar woman?
In the past, Shen Lang was eloquent and elegant.
Yet today, Shen Lang was keeping his mouth shut, and he seemed especially lonely.
After a long while, he finally couldn't help but say, "Little Marquis, we treat you with respect, but can you discipline the pirates under your command? Some of their actions are too much, our tolerance is also limited."
Little Marquis. Qiu Xiao was stunned by this title.
But he quickly understood the meaning behind it.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince had bribed Qiu Tianwei, promising to confer him the title of Marquis of Angry Tide after ascending to the throne, so Qiu Xiao naturally became Little Marquis.
Everyone said that Shen Lang was extremely intelligent and ruthless, but who would have thought that he was also a bootlicker.
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and plots were fake.
After feeling refreshed, Qiu Xiao said coldly, "If you can't bear it anymore, then don't bear it anymore. You guys directly take action, kill people! At most, we will have another big battle, just like twenty years ago. "
Xuanwu said bitterly, "Young Master Qiu Xiao, there is no need to mention the past."
Qiu Xiao laughed heartily. "Twenty years ago, my Chou family was at its weakest. And your father, Count Jin Yu, was so awe-inspiring. He led an army of more than ten thousand, hundreds of big ships, majestically charging towards Leizhou Island. And the result? The entire army was annihilated … "
Once these words were spoken, Xuanwu and Shen Lang's faces immediately lost all light.
Qiu Xiao said again, "Xuanwu, I wonder how the military strength of Xuan Wu Mansion is compared to twenty years ago? But is it half, or is it one-third? "
Xuanwu Bo Jin Zhuo said, "Harmony is precious, harmony is precious."
Qiu Xiao said, "Your Kim family's military strength is less than one-third, but my Chou family's strength has expanded by more than a few times, and we also have the powerful Angry Tide City, and the entire Leizhou Archipelago. Today, my Chou family's strength is more than ten times that of your Kim family. "
Shen Lang's face twitched. He drank a cup of wine and didn't speak anymore.
Qiu Xiao said coldly, "If my Angry Tide City led 30,000 troops to attack your Wangya Island, what would the result be?"
Shen Lang said in a hoarse voice, "Wangya Island is admittedly my Kim family's fief, but it is also the territory of the State of Yue. You openly attacked, aren't you afraid of the Monarch's wrath? "
Qiu Xiao laughed heartily and said, "When we led troops to seize Jinshan Island, was your Monarch enraged?"
Shen Lang, Xuanwu, and Jin Zhuo were immediately speechless.
Qiu Xiao said, "Your Monarch probably couldn't wait for us to lead troops to annihilate your Kim family."
Shen Lang's face was pale. "Harmony is precious, harmony is precious."
Qiu Xiao said indifferently, "Harmony is precious, it's not impossible, but it really depends on your sincerity."
Shen Lang gritted his teeth and said, "In order to prove our sincerity, for the friendship between our two families, our Kim family is willing to donate 20,000 gold coins to the Qiu family every year for free."
Qiu Xiao was instantly enraged. He smashed the wine cup in his hand towards Shen Lang.
Shen Lang hurriedly dodged.
Of course, Qiu Xiao deliberately missed, otherwise Shen Lang wouldn't have been able to dodge.
"Bang …" A loud sound rang out.
The silver wine cup smashed directly into the wall, sinking two inches deep.
This beast's martial arts were really high.
Shen Lang glanced at his father-in-law. Xuanwu lowered his eyes.
He expressed that he couldn't take down Qiu Xiao.
Jin Hui, Shen Shisan, Jin Zhuo, and Jin Shiying together could defeat Qiu Xiao, but it would be difficult to stop him from escaping.
Moreover, Qiu Xiao was too suspicious.
There were only three people at this banquet, Jin Zhuo, Shen Lang, and Qiu Xiao.
Jin Hui, Shen Shisan, Jin Shiying, and other experts were all outside the house.
But the hundreds of warriors brought by Qiu Xiao also surrounded the house.
Within a few hundred steps of this house, Qiu Xiao's subordinates were even more experts.
There really wasn't a chance to kill Qiu Xiao.
At this moment, Shen Lang saw Qiu Xiao smash the wine cup in his hand, and he was instantly overjoyed.
"Someone, bring a new wine cup for the young Marquis."
Qiu Xiao said, "There's no need, I brought a few."
Then, Qiu Xiao took out a new wine cup and poured himself a glass of wine. Moreover, it was a wine that wouldn't easily intoxicate people. He also brought it himself.
F * ck, this person was really cautious and suspicious to the extreme. He didn't show any flaws.
But it was normal. Qiu Xiao had countless enemies. If he wasn't so careful, he would have died countless times.
Shen Lang smiled bitterly, "Why is the young Marquis so suspicious? You have the Raging Tide City behind you, the Pirate King. How would we dare to harm you? "
Qiu Xiao said, "It's better to be careful. You, Shen Lang, are very poisonous."
Next, one delicacy after another was served.
There were things that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the sea.
It was incomparably delicious.
Shen Lang desperately wanted to arouse Qiu Xiao's appetite so that he could eat the food that Shen Lang provided.
But Qiu Xiao didn't even look at it. He only ate the meat he brought, using a knife to cut it piece by piece before stuffing it into his mouth.
As he ate, he looked at Shen Lang mockingly.
I know you don't dare to harm me, don't dare to harm a single hair of mine, but I still won't give you any chance.
At this moment, a servant brought three portions of caviar.
Shen Lang said, "This is caviar. It's very rare and expensive. Hurry and send one to the young Marquis."
The servant came forward and placed a bowl of caviar on Qiu Xiao's table.
"No, I won't eat it." Qiu Xiao pushed the caviar away and it spilled all over the floor.
This person was really stubborn.
It was really difficult to kill him.
"Shen Lang, you said that you will give my Qiu family 20,000 gold coins every year?" Qiu Xiao sneered.
Shen Lang said, "Yes, every year. This is already the largest amount that my Kim family can give."
Qiu Xiao said angrily, "Shen Lang, do you think I'm a fool? Do you think my Qiu family is a beggar? Do you think I don't know that there is a large gold mine on your Wangya Island? "
Shen Lang's face changed, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "There's no such thing, there's no such thing. This is all a rumor. There's no gold mine, it's just an iron mine."
"Bang …"
Qiu Xiao spat directly at Shen Lang's face.
"Shen Lang, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations." Qiu Xiao said coldly, "I was the one who threw poisonous corpses into the well of your Xuan Wu Mansion to create a plague."
Shen Lang said with an ugly expression, "Young Marquis … you must be joking."
He seemed to feel a little cold and said, "Add a few braziers, it's so cold."
The servants brought in a few braziers.
Suddenly, the temperature in the room rose sharply.
Shen Lang was warm, but Qiu Xiao felt very hot.
He was full of energy and was always shirtless in the winter.
He had hundreds of virgin tattoos on his body, which were all his battle achievements, and he had to show them all the time.
At this time, a few braziers were burning, and he couldn't help but sweat.
Qiu Xiao continued, "Also, the person who teamed up with Viscount Zhu Lanting to dig your dam and flood the fief of the Kim family is also me."
Shen Lang and Xuanwu's faces suddenly became ugly.
Qiu Xiao said coldly, "I am so inhumane. I have repeatedly harmed your Xuan Wu Mansion. Every time I see Jin Mulan, I have to humiliate her. What can you do to me?"
Shen Lang kept his mouth shut.
Qiu Xiao said, "You, Shen Lang, probably hate me to the bone and want to cut me into a thousand pieces. But I have Raging Tide City and tens of thousands of pirates behind me, so not only do you not dare to take revenge on me, you don't even dare to offend me, and you even try your best to please me. My pirates forcibly boarded Wangya Island and took away your camp and food. Do you dare to resist? You don't dare? "
"Why? Because you are afraid of the tens of thousands of pirates of Raging Tide City. Strength is king."
"Shen Lang, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. It is because Jin Mulan is being targeted by other important people. Otherwise, I want her to drink with me tonight, and even sleep with me. Do you dare to stop me?"
"So next, I am not negotiating with you, I am just informing you."
"My Qiu family wants 80% of the gold mine on Wangya Island, and we want to station troops and mine personally."
Qiu Tianwei's envoy had not yet arrived, but Qiu Xiao had the same idea as his father.
Shen Lang said with a trembling voice, "Not to mention that there is no gold mine on Wangya Island, even if there is gold mine, you are asking for too much."
Qiu Xiao said, "I said, I am informing you, I am ordering you. I am not negotiating with you. You only have the right to agree or not. Either agree, or my tens of thousands of troops will kill their way to Wangya Island, exterminate your Kim family, and wipe Xuan Wu Mansion off the face of the earth. "
Xuanwu's body trembled.
Qiu Xiao said, "Also, my two thousand pirate brothers can't live without women. Count Xuanwu wants you to send five hundred women to me within five days. Pick from your family's fief, they must be young and beautiful."
Count Xuanwu crushed the wine glass in his hand.
Qiu Xiao continued, "And that Jin Jianniang, I have taken a fancy to her. I want to f * ck her half to death, and I want to f * ck her in front of you, Shen Lang. Within five days, I want to see her on my bed, or bear the consequences. "
Qiu Xiao was really arrogant to the extreme.
His father said that if Xuan Wu Mansion was tough, then he could be a little weak. But if Xuanwu was weak, then he would be extremely tough and arrogant.
"Well, that's all for today, I'm going back." Qiu Xiao said, "If I don't get a reply by tomorrow, I will leave immediately, and then lead tens of thousands of pirate troops to Wangya Island to kill you all."
Then, he got up to leave.
Shen Lang pleaded, "Little Marquis, don't go, let's talk, let's talk. How about a fifty-fifty split? If you agree, we are willing to send two hundred thousand gold coins immediately. "
Qiu Xiao's eyes lit up.
Immediately send two hundred thousand gold coins?
Then, he sat down again and said in a cold voice, "Seventy-three! We are seven, you are three! And you have to send five hundred thousand gold coins immediately, not two hundred thousand. "
Shen Lang exclaimed, "This, this is too much."
Qiu Xiao said, "I will give you thirty minutes to think about it, if you don't agree, I will leave immediately, let my father gather the army and prepare to attack Wangya Island."
Then, he felt a little short of breath.
The temperature in the hall was too high, and his mind seemed to be swaying a little. Was there a special fragrance in the air?
He couldn't live without a woman, he hadn't touched a woman for three or four days.
The sweat on his body increased.
Shen Lang said, "Let me think about it."
Qiu Xiao said, "Just a quarter of an hour, and Jin Jianniang and the five hundred women, you must hand them over. I have already given you face by not asking for Jin Mulan. "
Shen Lang closed his eyes to think, his palm instinctively touched the buttocks of the servant beside him.
This action was noticed by Qiu Xiao, and he suddenly trembled.
Shen Lang, I didn't expect you to be such a person, you even touch a man's buttocks.
Then, Qiu Xiao found out.
The servant beside Shen Lang was not a man, but a woman, and a beautiful and plump woman, just dressed in men's clothes.
Good, Shen Lang, you're good.
You kept saying that there were no women on the island, which made me hold it in for a few days.
Qiu Xiao immediately said angrily, "Shen Lang, give me the woman beside you, right now, right now."
Shen Lang shuddered.
Qiu Xiao said coldly, "Woman, I told you to come here, did you hear me? Shen Lang is useless, how dare he stop me? "
Instantly, the woman who was dressed as a servant came to Qiu Xiao's side, full of fear.
Qiu Xiao's big hand reached into her chest, and then he yanked it.
Sure enough, a silk pouch was pulled out.
Then, Qiu Xiao's big hand reached into her pants and yanked it.
The woman cried out in pain, and her silk pants were pulled out.
Who was this woman? Was she a servant from Xuan Wu Mansion?
No!
Shen Lang had hired her from a brothel.
Qiu Xiao held the pouch in his left hand, and the pants in his right. He sniffed it, and then wiped the sweat off his body.
Finally, he covered his nose, and sniffed a few times.
Good smell, good smell.
Hahahaha!
Qiu Xiao laughed.
He was going to have a good time tonight.
"Shen Lang, you only have 30 minutes. If you don't agree, you will die!" Qiu Xiao said coldly, and then reached out to ravage the woman beside him.
Shen Lang was relieved.
Qiu Xiao was finally going to die.
No matter how cunning he was, he was no match for Shen Lang. Tonight, Shen Lang had thought of seven or eight ways to deal with Qiu Xiao.
If this one didn't work, then that one.
Anyway, one of them would work. But he didn't expect that the dirty trick of the undergarment and pants would work.
Qiu Xiao had harmed countless women, so he deserved to die on it.
Because the woman's pouch and pants were smeared with a layer of lysergic acid diethylamide, which was the world's most powerful hallucinogen.
Just a moment later.
Qiu Xiao had a bad feeling.
His consciousness was scattered quickly.
And he felt like he was floating.
Not only that, his eyes started to have double vision.
His whole body and mind seemed to be out of control.
But it was really amazing.
It was like opening the door to a new world.
Qiu Xiao still said instinctively, "No, I changed my mind. Not only do I want Jin Jianniang, I also want Jin Mulan. Shen Lang, I will ravage them in front of you. I will make your wife beg for death, hahahaha! "
At this time, Xuanwu struck out like lightning.
"Pa …"
It was aimed at Qiu Xiao's neck.
Qiu Xiao instinctively wanted to resist.
If it was with his normal martial arts, he could totally block it.
But now, his whole body seemed to be floating, completely out of control.
"Crack …"
Suddenly, Xuanwu's palm hit the back of his neck.
Qiu Xiao's neck was completely broken.
His neck was completely paralyzed, and he lost consciousness.
Shen Lang stepped forward, took out a dagger, aimed at Qiu Xiao's crotch, and slashed down!
From the beginning to the end, he was so fast that Qiu Xiao didn't have any time to react.
"Ah …"
Qiu Xiao watched his manhood being castrated. Although he didn't feel any pain, he still let out an incomparably shrill scream.
…
