Chapter 386 Situation
The reporter nodded helplessly. "Yes, they were all covered in dust and dirt, and their clothes were dirty and tattered. When they first rushed over, we almost didn't notice them. They were almost the same color as the mine."
"Disguise! It must be the enemy's disguise! The enemy deliberately painted their clothes and faces earth-gray in order to catch you off guard and kill you." Li Xuanguang immediately thought of a reasonable answer.
"If I'm not mistaken, the opponent must be carrying a strong bow and a sharp knife, which is why they have created a suppressive situation." Li Xuanguang continued.
"No, no, they are just a group of miners. Each of them is holding a shovel and a pickaxe in their hands, and some are even throwing stones." The newspaper man wondered if this guy wrapped in bandages had a brain injury, as he was talking nonsense.
"Is he really a miner?" the master and disciple said in unison again.
Baozi nodded helplessly.
"You mean, our four major sects attacked a small mine, but ended up being beaten to a pulp by a group of miners?"
Li Xuanguang was still immersed in incredible emotions, while Li Xian took a deep breath and confirmed again.
Niche, too niche.
These words combined together always give people a feeling of disbelief.
It's no wonder that Li Xian and his apprentice found it difficult to accept this. This result was no less than a regular army being beaten zero for five by a group of amateur players. Anyone would find it outrageous.
Baozi nodded helplessly again.
Isn't what I said clear enough? Why do you keep asking me this over and over again? If you keep asking me this, I'll start to doubt myself.
This time, Li Xian finally believed it. He looked at Baozi with disgust, "Waste! A bunch of worthless rubbish!"
Baozi's face was filled with grief and indignation. "It's really not our fault. The miners from Xiaofeng Village are just too powerful. We are cavalry and they are infantry, but they just charged straight at us..."
"What?" The master and disciple asked again in unison.
Infantry charging cavalry?
What's going on?
Why are all the people coming out of Xiaofeng Village so powerful?
It’s okay that the owner Chen Changfan is a good fighter, but why are the miners under his command also so fierce?
Who is the attacker and who is the defender?
It is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Now the local snake is almost being crushed.
"Quickly contact the leaders of the Iron Armor Sect, the Wave Sword Sect, and the Wushen Sect, and tell them that I, Li Xian, have invited you to discuss the strategy for the market war."
Li Xian gave the order, and the messenger immediately took the order and retreated.
"Master, why don't you unite with the three sect leaders and kill Chen Changfan together? Once Chen Changfan dies, Yongxin Street will be leaderless, and then it will be ours."
Li Xuanguang racked his brains and came up with a bad idea.
"My master is very thoughtful, but how could I have trained someone as stupid as you!" Li Xian said angrily, but then he saw Li Xuanguang standing alone with his body covered in bandages, and felt a little sorry for him.
He hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but explain, "I'm injured, Ling Zun has fallen, and you're seriously injured. This is when our Difei Mountain's fighting power is depleted. If we rashly start a war, whether we win or lose, it will be disadvantageous to our Difei Mountain. If we win, our Difei Mountain will contribute the least and will get the least benefit. If we lose, won't we have to pay compensation again?"
"Master, do you think we will lose even if we join forces?" Li Xuanguang said unwillingly.
"Do you think we're four against one, or four against two, or four against three?"
Li Xuanguang was stunned for a moment, then quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.
Among the forces currently on good terms with Chen Changfan, Taixu Pavilion and Modao Sect have made it clear that they are allies of Xiaofeng Manor.
Qinghe Martial Arts School seemed to show some affection for Chen Changfan.
The Water God Cult has a somewhat ambiguous attitude. If a fight really breaks out, perhaps the two forces will really side with each other.
By this calculation, it is at least four against three, or maybe even four against four.
I didn't expect that Xiaofengzhuang has only been in this county town for less than a month and has already built up such strength. The speed of development is really scary.
If it's four against three, I'm afraid it will be difficult to determine the winner for a while.
If it's four against four, their chances of winning are very low.
hateful!
After seeing Li Xuanguang's expression, Li Xian knew that the other party also saw the seriousness of the matter, so he stopped explaining.
Now that force can no longer solve the problem, perhaps we can make a comeback through business warfare.
If Xiaofengzhuang were to gain the upper hand in both military and business, I'm afraid the days ahead would be even more difficult.
……
Yongxin Street, blacksmith shop.
"Why are you all so lazy? Have you finished your sword-forging skills? Just rest here!"
Shen Wanwu looked at the blacksmiths with lazy expressions and urged them with some displeasure.
"Butler Shen, you can't talk nonsense. Look at these knife blanks I forged, each one is top-notch! I have already mastered the knife-forging technique, but what good can it do?" a burly man shouted.
Shen Wanwu took a quick glance and discovered that there was indeed a slender knife blank with a smooth shape placed on the man's anvil. Even he, an outsider, thought that the man's technique was quite good.
"That's right. I've also mastered the sword-forging technique, but it's useless without meteorite iron, isn't it?" another man echoed, looking helpless.
"That's right... I've simulated forging a sword so many times. When will I start forging an ink sword?"
"Other workshops are all incredibly busy, and we don't have anything to show for it here at the blacksmith shop. We can't just take such huge profits every month and do nothing all day, right?"
Hearing the discussions of these blacksmiths, Shen Wanwu shook his head helplessly.
He knew that these blacksmiths were not deliberately being lazy or causing trouble, but were simply focused on making money for the farm and felt uncomfortable being idle all day.
"I understand everyone's feelings. Orders from weaving workshops and greenhouses have skyrocketed, but our blacksmith shop's orders for ink knives are still delayed. You're anxious, and so am I. But everyone knows that meteorite iron, the key material for forging ink knives, isn't in place yet. Even if we rush, it's useless."
Shen Wanwu was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Without meteorite iron, he couldn't start the work. The Mo Dao Sect had secretly sent people to visit him several times, just to check the progress of Mo Dao's manufacturing, but he really had no progress to show them, so he kept rejecting them with various reasons, but he didn't know how long he could keep it secret.
Just as he was thinking, his men came to report, "Butler Shen, Master Yue of the Ink Blade Sect is here to visit. Master Chen is not here, so you have to go and greet him."
