"Is Wu Jing's brain full of shit?"

This was Zhuge Tian’s first reaction, and Liao Hua and others had the same reaction.

It means that they have to sell things to Sun Ce, and then help Sun Ce suppress bandits for free.

In the end, I have to snatch the payment from those Shanyue people myself?

I am already an example of a money-grubber. Could it be that Sun Ce is even better than me?

Liao Hua and others had the same idea as Zhuge Tian.

Liao Hua even shouted, "What the hell? Buy it or not! If they really don't want to pay, we can just go around to Xuzhou and sell it to Lu Bu."

"Didn't you fail in a one-on-one duel with Lu Bu last time? Let's practice with him this time!"

"Yuan Jian, Han Xing said something that is particularly suitable for you!" Gan Ning looked at Liao Hua with complicated eyes.

"What?"

Before Gan Ning could say anything, Zhao Yun beside him said quietly, "Both novice and playful!"

Everyone was amused, and after a few laughs, Gan Ning said, "I thought so at first, but Wu Jing said it was mainly because Lu Bu is so powerful now, and almost all of Sun Ce's troops are defending the northern border."

"There's no time to spare to deal with these Shanyue. And the Shanyue he wants us to deal with are located in Kuaiji. They seem to have a gold mine in their hands."

"What did you say? Gold mine!!" Zhuge Tian's eyes lit up.

"It's just a possibility!" Gan Ning said, "It is said that there was a legend in the area where the Shanyue tribe lived that someone had found gold. Recently, they have suddenly become generous, not only recruiting soldiers and horses, but also spending gold."

They didn't know that this was the Suichang gold mine in Kuaiji County, which was quite famous in later generations.

This gold mine was only mined on a large scale during the Tang Dynasty.

However, during the Three Kingdoms period, some shallow mineral veins had been discovered.

"Gold mine!" Zhuge Tian paced back and forth on the deck.

Of course, he couldn't work for free, and even selling on credit was unlikely.

But this time the temptation...

A bit too big.

"Since there's a gold mine, why doesn't Sun Ce go and take it himself? Even if they're fully defending Lü Bu to the north, it shouldn't be difficult to spare some men to attack a Shanyue army like this?"

Xu Shu asked.

"Because Sun Ce actually doesn't know this news yet!" Gan Ning said, "Wu Jing's condition is that he provides intelligence on the Shanyue army and can also provide us with some conveniences."

"He always thought I was still doing my old job. He said that these Shanyue people had just started recruiting soldiers and were not very strong. My Jinfan thieves could handle them."

"Then we'll split the gold 50-50. His share will be used to pay for the baggage!"

"This Wu Jing is quite calculating!" Xu Shu laughed. "If he lets us fight the Shanyue, he can earn a lot of gold and hand over so much baggage to Sun Ce. I guess he can get a lot of money from Sun Ce."

"And at the same time, we can also get the credit for annihilating the Shanyue people. It can be said that we kill three birds with one stone!"

"Well, this Wu Jing is extremely greedy for money! He is definitely not inferior to..."

Gan Ning glanced at Zhuge Tian.

"I...Is that what I said greedy?" Zhuge Tian wanted to refute, but seemed powerless.

I can't say that all this money was used to complete system tasks.

Forget it, it seems that I can’t get rid of my greedy personality.

"So what do you think about this vote, do you want to do it or not?"

"I think it's doable!" Liao Hua was the first to voice his opinion. "Didn't we come here to investigate the situation in Shanyue? Isn't this a great opportunity that's right in our grasp?"

"If we can truly understand the strength of this Shanyue army, and we have the upper hand, we can certainly give it a try." Xu Shu also thought it was feasible. "But we have to be wary of Wu Jing. If he could do something like this behind Sun Ce's back, there's no guarantee he won't have even bigger ambitions."

As for Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, they didn't say anything, just looked at Zhuge Tian.

"Then try it!"

Zhuge Tian made the final decision.

Gold mine!

That would increase the balance for me!

"But we have to be wary of Wu Jing." Zhuge Tian looked at Gan Ning. "Aren't the Shanyue people recruiting? Zilong, Yuan Jian, and I will join them first. You take Yuan Zhi, Zhong Kang, and Wu Jing to deal with them first."

"Once we understand the situation, we'll work together inside and outside to capture them!"

Gan Ning wanted to meet Wu Jing, so he definitely couldn't go. As for Xu Chu, he was afraid that if he went with him, he would get lost if he was assigned some work.

"Okay, but Wu Jing can't hold out for long," Gan Ning said. "Once spring arrives, Lü Bu will most likely attack Cao Cao. Then the pressure on Sun Ce will be less."

"Wu Jing can't keep this secret for too long."

"It's better to delay it for as long as possible!"

Zhuge Tian and the others are now not too far from Kuaiji County.

After packing up, the three of them disguised themselves as ordinary knights and went to the capital of Kuaiji - Yishanyin County.

"Have you been here before?"

"No!" Liao Hua and Zhao Yun both shook their heads. It was also their first time in Jiangdong.

"Then find a place to stay first, and ask around tomorrow to see if there's anyone hiring nearby."

Since the Shanyue people are recruiting soldiers on a large scale, they cannot remain silent.

Sure enough, before the next day, they received the news while having dinner at the inn that night.

The leaders of the Shanyue group that recruited people were Lu He and Qin Lang.

As long as they are young and strong men, they will recruit them.

If you have a little more ability, you can just become a small leader among them.

"Should we go together tomorrow, or go separately?" Liao Hua asked.

"What's the difference?" Zhuge Tian was a little confused.

"Of course there is a difference!" Liao Hua acted like an experienced person. As an old bandit, he explained some basic knowledge to Zhuge Tian and Zhao Yun.

"Anyway, let's go together. People know we're together, so they won't bully newcomers like us so easily."

"But there will be some concerns from those above, because the leaders don't really like the people below to stick together. And if there are too many people, the people above will be more likely to be wary of you."

"And if we go separately, in a place like this where bandits are very likely to bully newcomers, there might be many experienced bandits who would want to cause trouble for us."

"But relatively speaking, as long as we show our ability, it will be easier for the higher-ups to recruit us as their confidants!"

After this explanation, Zhuge Tian and Zhao Yun understood.

After thinking for a while, Zhuge Tian said, "Then let's go separately!"

To obtain intelligence faster, it would be better to split up and attack the Shanyue army.

As for trouble, none of the three are afraid of it.

Especially in places like this, fists are the main way to speak, and the fists of these three are not small!

Zhao Yun grinned, "I never thought I'd be able to become a bandit someday."

To be honest, his current life seems far from what he had imagined at that time, which was to help the troubled times.

But he saw how wonderful the life of the people in Wolong Village was.

If you follow Zhuge Tian, ​​more people can live a life like that of Wolong Village.

Zhao Yun thought it was pretty good too.
