After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

She hurriedly told the rest of the people the news, and everyone was very happy.

However, after the excitement, Xu Qingqing was also worried about the safety of Zhang Qiang and his team.

Yes, that’s right. It was Zhang Qiang’s team that found the iron ore, and they were also the team that went the farthest.

……

three days ago

There was a sudden earthquake and the Xiaoyao Sect was swaying. The entire sect seemed to be in the midst of a huge shake. Everyone was terrified and at a loss.

Fortunately, Xu Qingqing and Liu Hanwen quickly calmed everyone down. At the same time, Xu Qingqing quickly evacuated everyone away from the building complex to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible.

The tremors soon disappeared, and everyone felt relieved. However, for Zhang Qiang's mother, this earthquake unexpectedly brought about a major discovery.

It was a sunny afternoon when Zhang Qiang and his team arrived at the last mountain range marked on the map that might contain iron ore.

They had been searching for a long time but still could not find any trace of iron ore. If they could not find it again, they would have no choice but to return home.

Everyone was in a low mood, after all, this mission was of great significance to them. However, just when they were about to give up, an earthquake occurred.

The ground suddenly shook violently. The shaking was so strong that everyone screamed and held on to the big trees around them, fearing that they would be shaken and fall.

"What's going on? Is the earth dragon turning over? " A young man hugged a tree and shouted loudly, his heart filled with fear.

"Everyone be careful, there may be danger!" Zhang Qiang stabilized his body: "Go!"

Just as he finished speaking, a not-so-small stone fell from the sky and hit one of the people in the team.

No one was able to react and watched the stone fall.

"Ah!" Accompanied by a scream, one of the team was hit by a stone and fell to the ground.

As the leader, Zhang Qiang rushed forward to check on the injured. Fortunately, the man was only slightly injured and was not seriously injured.

However, as the saying goes, misfortunes often bring good things, and this accident allowed them to unexpectedly discover traces of iron ore.

"Look, the color underneath that stone is wrong?" someone said, pointing to a small piece of metallic luster exposed under the stone.

Zhang Qiang helped the injured man aside and picked up the stone: "Retreat first! Go to an open area!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone followed Zhang Qiang and hurriedly sought a place to take refuge.

After the tremors subsided, Zhang Qiang took out the stone from his arms, took a closer look, and was immediately surprised and delighted: "It's iron ore! We found it!"

The team members gathered around and looked at the iron ore, their eyes flashing with excitement.

They couldn't believe that they had unexpectedly discovered iron ore in such a crisis.

Zhang Qiang excitedly told everyone: "Where this rock fell must be a vein of iron ore. This is our great opportunity. We must go up the mountain and look for it!"

Everyone was immediately excited when they heard this. They knew that this discovery could mean a huge gain.

So, after a short rest, they couldn't wait to start searching the surrounding area carefully, trying to find more clues to the iron ore.

They walked up the hillside, not missing any possible clues.

Sometimes they find stones of unusual colors, and sometimes they find traces of special minerals.

Whenever they found these clues, they would gather around excitedly and study them carefully.

As time went by, they gradually discovered some iron ore fragments and outcrops, which made them more convinced that this mountain area must be rich in iron ore resources.

"Look! There!" Everyone looked in the direction the man pointed.

Zhang Qiang walked closer and compared the stone in his hand with the gap. It was exactly here.

"Brothers, that guy, start digging!!"

Following Zhang Qiang's command, everyone took out the tools they carried with them.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light on the excavation site.

The pickaxe hit a hard object, making a crisp sound. They immediately sped up the digging.

Everyone was sweating, but their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation. Their arm muscles were tense, and the pickaxes were dancing in their hands, and every drop seemed firm and powerful.

With each blow of the pickaxe, the surrounding soil and gravel would be blown up, forming a fine dust cloud. The splashing soil and gravel sparkled with tiny points of light in the sun.

As the dirt and gravel were removed bit by bit, a piece of iron ore with a gleaming metallic luster gradually emerged. It was dark gray, with rough textures all over the surface, as if recording the traces of time and crustal changes.

When the pickaxe touches the iron ore, the surface of the ore reflects a dazzling light, contrasting sharply with the surrounding dirt and gravel.

Everyone looked at the iron ore with excitement in their eyes. They cheered and hugged each other, as if all the fatigue and hard work at this moment became insignificant.

Then, they began to dig more attentively, hoping to find more iron ore. The iron pick fell again and again, and the dirt and rubble were constantly removed, and the iron ore gradually increased.

They carefully collected these precious minerals, preparing to each carry a bag and take them back to Xiaoyao Sect.

After everyone had almost finished pretending, Zhang Qiang led everyone to cover and mark the place, and then prepared to leave and return to Xiaoyao Sect.

While Xu Qingqing was waiting for Zhang Qiang and his team to return, she received some bad news.

There is news about the eldest brother taking Potato to seek cooperation with the Gu family, but it is not good news.

That day, Xu Qingyun successfully entered the Gu Mansion with the token given to him by Gu Qingtang and met with Mr. Gu.

After learning about the amazing mass production capacity of potatoes, Mr. Gu did show great interest and immediately agreed to cooperate with Xu Qingyun.

He was well aware of the importance of food to the country, and he understood even more clearly the significance of high-yield food to the well-being of the people.

Therefore, he agreed to cooperate with Xu Qingyun without much hesitation, and hoped to plant potatoes in his own fields immediately to verify its amazing mass production capacity.

Xu Qingyun was also very happy about Mr. Gu's positive response.

He believed that if successful, the potatoes he brought with the help of the Gu family would surely bring joy of a good harvest to the land. So he stayed in the Gu Mansion, patiently instructing the Gu family on how to plant and manage potatoes, looking forward to a good harvest in the future.

However, just when everything was going in the right direction, unexpected news came.
