Seeing that they had arrived at the border gate, the border guards were all excited when they heard that the banished immortal had arrived and held a banquet.

Li Shui did not refuse, and had a few drinks with these guards, and then gave them some fairy wine and some steamed buns in the name of Master Fu Yao. He also praised them for their outstanding achievements in guarding the border for Da Qin these days.

These guardsmen all had tears in their eyes with excitement. Although the ambrosia was fragrant and the steamed buns were delicious, these people abandoned their homes and businesses in a deserted borderland, and what they most hoped for was the recognition of the imperial court.

Now Mr. Fu Yao's praise made these soldiers very excited, and they all saluted in the direction of Xianyang City.

Finally, Li Shui asked the border officers for 500 elite soldiers to serve as an escort. The officers happily gave them to him and sent out one of them to escort them.

This man's name is Cheng Li, he has a fiery temper, is loyal, powerful and unstoppable.

With him protecting him, Li Shui's safety would definitely not be a problem.

Li Shui led the Qin soldiers and alchemists out of the border in a mighty manner.

After coming out of seclusion, a gust of cold wind blew, making Li Shui shiver. He said to his left and right: "Are you cold?"

The people next to me nodded and said, "A little bit."

Li Shui said: "I am also a little cold. That's all. Come get some armor and wear it to keep yourself warm."

The soldiers were all a little puzzled: Can armor keep the body warm? When the wind blows, it becomes ice-cold and becomes colder and colder.

But the banished immortal insisted on wearing it, so they brought the armor over.

Li Shui was dressed neatly and felt much more at ease. He said to everyone: "Let's go."

On the way, Cheng Li asked Li Shui: "Why did the banished immortal not ride in a chariot but ride a horse? Who is in the chariot?"

Li Shui said: "The man in the carriage is an alchemist who discovered gold mines. This man has made great contributions, because I specially commended him for riding in the carriage."

Cheng Li said with emotion: "The rewards and punishments for banishing immortals are so clear."

The Qin soldiers behind were all excited: If they made great contributions, could they sit in a carriage like this alchemist?

While everyone was thinking about it, suddenly a sharp arrow came through the air, shot through the carriage shed, and was nailed directly into the carriage.

Cheng Li shouted: "There are assassins."

Hundreds of Qin soldiers immediately surrounded Li Shui.

At the same time, the assassins also appeared. They were Huns. Each of these men rode horses, with scimitars on their waists, and long bows on their backs. They were galloping towards them and shooting arrows at the same time.

Those sharp arrows were extremely accurate and they all shot into the carriage.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps...

The Huns had vaguely surrounded the carriage. At this time, they were a little confused, why did the Qin soldiers gather around instead of protecting this luxurious carriage? Don't they care about the life and death of the banished immortal?

Without any time to think about it, the Huns took out the rope and hooked the carriage. Several horses ran wildly around, and with a bang, the carriage was torn apart.

Inside, Uncle Xiang was wrapped in several layers of blankets and fell to the ground.

He was not dead yet. In fact, the first arrow was very accurate and hit his heart. But the huge medal on his chest saved his life.

After Xiang Bo was lucky enough to survive, he immediately wrapped himself in a blanket and lay on the ground shaking.

Now that he fell from the carriage, he was not injured. After all, the blanket was too thick. However, he could not help but feel a little scared when he heard people shouting from outside.

Li Shui looked at the Qin soldiers beside him: "Go and catch the thief."

Cheng Li hesitated and said: "Our accusation is to protect the banished immortal..."

Li Shui shouted: "The one surrounded by the Huns is my best friend Jing Bao. If he dies, I don't want to live alone."

When Uncle Xiang heard this, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

Cheng Li waved his hand: "Kill the thief."

He did not send everyone out, for fear that the Hun assassins might have back-ups.

Hundreds of Qin soldiers rode fast horses and rushed towards the assassin.

The assassins were quickly killed and dispersed.

Li Shui shouted: "Catch them alive."

Soon, two Huns were tied up. As for the others, they were all killed on the spot.

Seeing that the assassins were under control, Li Shui jumped off his horse, walked quickly to the blankets, and peeled off Xiang Bo.

Li Shui said apologetically: "Brother Jing, I wanted to make you feel more comfortable on the road, but I didn't expect that an assassin wanted to assassinate me. I almost asked you to die on my behalf. I feel so sorry."

Xiang Bo wiped away his tears and said: "There is no need to say anything in banishing the immortal. Jing understands it in his heart. I will never forget the great kindness of banishing the immortal."

Li Shui smiled and said: "Brother Jing, are there any brothers and sisters in the family? Maybe they can be brought to Xianyang, and I can recommend them in front of His Majesty."

For a moment, Xiang Bo felt a little moved, but it was only for a moment.

He shook his head and said: "There is no one else. Those tribesmen have followed Jing Fu to Xianyang."

Li Shui nodded: "That's it. If there are any remaining clan members, you can let them know."

Xiang Bo nodded and said, "Definitely."

Although he said that he was certain, Xiang Bo had no intention of actually recruiting Xiang Liang to surrender. He also knew very well that Xiang Liang had great ambitions and was preparing to become king. It was impossible for him to come to Xianyang City and banish him just because he wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender.

Be a little soldier under the immortal.

If this letter were sent out, Xiang Liang would probably fall out with him on the spot and even treat him as a traitor.

Xiang Bo feels that his current situation is not bad. If Xiang Liang wins, he can get a share of the pie, and the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. If Xiang Liang loses, he might as well become Jing Bao, and he will still be the popular person next to the banished immortal.

Thinking of this, Xiang Bo smiled happily.

Li Shui interrogated two Huns and asked them who was behind the scenes. The two Huns refused to tell. After being beaten, they summoned Shan Yu.

Li Shui was not satisfied with this answer and beat him again. The Huns said with a painful look on their face: "Sha Tilie?"

Li Shui beat them again.

The Huns were about to cry but had no tears, so they begged, "Who do you want, sir? Can you remind us?"

Li Shui glared: "Then I won't extort a confession through torture and frame him? You two can talk about it. If you are right, I will spare you. If you are wrong, I will continue to beat you."

Half an hour later, the butts of the two Huns were rotten. They recruited many people, from the Chanyu to the tribal nobles of the Huns, and even their captains. In short, anyone with a bit of reputation was sued by them.

Out.

Unfortunately, Li Shui was never satisfied.

Finally, these two people were enlightened and began to think about who Li Shui's enemies were.

After thinking about it in this way, the answer was ready to come out. The two of them said in unison: "It's Ji Ming. It's Ji Ming who instigated the villain."

Li Shui nodded with satisfaction: "You are finally willing to tell the truth."

When the two Huns heard this, they burst into tears.

It's a pity that Li Shui also asked: "Is there no one else besides Ji Ming who is instructing you?"

The Huns were about to cry but had no tears: "We have never been to Xianyang, so we really don't know who else is there."

Li Shui said kindly: "Don't worry, just stay in our army, listen more, watch more, and learn more. Soon you will know who is instructing you."

The two Huns yelled and were tied up and led away.

Everyone continued on their journey and soon arrived at the first mine.

This is a coal mine. This mine is different from the mine Li Shui imagined. The coal here is buried very shallow, so you can just dig a big pit and mine the coal in the open.

According to current scientific and technological means, it seems that there is no way to explore coal buried deep underground. But fortunately, the demand for coal in Daqin is not that much now, and this kind of open-pit coal mine can supply enough.

The appearance of the banished immortal was a great encouragement to the alchemist who was in charge of the command, and also an encouragement to the head of Guizhou who came all the way to do the work.

The Banished Immortal encouraged them a few words and was about to leave. At this time, a dirty alchemist with a face full of soot came up and said respectfully: "Master Banned Immortal, we have discovered coal and iron here.

Gold was discovered, but the immortal was never found. When are we... going to look for the immortal mountain?"

Li Shui said calmly: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will naturally let you look for the fairy mountain."

The alchemist wanted to ask again, but Li Shui took out the death-free gold medal and waved it in front of him. The alchemist's face turned pale and he went to dig coal in embarrassment.

Li Shui was unhappy: I have enough to deal with Ying Zheng, but I have to deal with you too?

After inspecting the coal mine, we visited the iron mine and copper mine due to time difference. When we arrived at the gold mine, Xiang Bo looked at the gold with emotion on his face.

This gold mine has a name, it is called Jingbao Mine. This is the meaning of Lishui, and is used to commemorate Jingbao who discovered the gold mine.

Li Shui looked at the busy people and watched the gold sand being scooped out little by little. He suddenly found that deep in his heart, there was no disturbance.

Sure enough, when you have too much money, it turns into a bunch of numbers. Sure enough, when you have too much money, you no longer love money.

Suddenly, someone on the watchtower shouted: "The Huns are coming, the Huns are coming."

The workers who were panning for gold just now took out their weapons and quickly entered the fortifications. In just a few minutes, they turned from workers into murderous soldiers.

Sure enough, a group of Huns came from the distance, about a few hundred people in number. They rode fast horses and approached the mine like a gust of wind. Apparently, they wanted to snatch the gold.

The workers were not in a hurry and just drew their bows.

When the Huns came within shooting range, a general shouted: "Let go."

Suddenly there was a rain of arrows. Half of the Huns fell immediately.
