"Going to make a living and earn money?" Yun Shang always felt that there was some ulterior secret hidden in it: "Where did you go to make a living?"
"We also asked this question, but when we asked this question, they evaded us and seemed reluctant to say it. We spent some money on news, but everyone said something different. At that time, we I didn't think about it, I just felt that maybe the people from each family went to different places. It was later discovered that they were all lying to us."
"How did you find out?"
Seventeen whispered: "Later, Miss Qianzhuo looked for a few children aged seven or eight, and used sweets and snacks to lure them into telling them where their parents were. It's the same place."
Yun Chang narrowed her eyes: "Anyongzhuang?"
Shi Qi was stunned for a while, but quickly realized that Yun Shang should have guessed: "It's An Yongzhuang."
"At that time, we all felt very strange that Ernst Village was just a small village. A village with less than 1,000 aborigines, how could it attract so many people? What are they doing there? The silver."
"It's just that most of the younger children only know that their parents have gone to An Yongzhuang, and they don't know what they did specifically. They only say that they haven't come back for a long time, but they will ask someone to send some money to their home regularly. And the older children are being killed by those The old man told them not to talk to us. For a while, we couldn't find anything."
"Miss Qianzhuo said, since you can't find anything out, why don't you go directly to An Yongzhuang to have a look. It's just that Ganhe County has already been so vigilant against us, and An Yongzhuang may be even worse than that. So, Qian Zhuo girl thought of a way, let us find a few remote and deserted villages near Ganhe County, repair the houses, and then pretend to be the people in the village, find someone to match us, and take us to Earn money for a living."
"The man really brought us to An Yongzhuang. The people we went there just now may not feel at ease there, so they took us to a Zhuangzi, and only let us help with cooking and washing in the Zhuangzi. After the end In the first ten days or so, they were not so vigilant against us."
"We inquired about the news secretly. The people in the village said that there are mines in the mountains of Anyongzhuang. We don't know what the mines are. They only said that those people were taken into the mountains to mine. We have been in the village for more than ten days. Haven't seen the men who were taken to the mines."
Yun Chang's expression moved slightly, always feeling that the progress of this matter seemed a little familiar.
I still remember that when she was in Ning State before, Ning State and Xia State went to war, and Xia State hid nearly 100,000 soldiers in a mountain. I still remember that the mountain should be called Qilin Mountain, which means that there is iron in Qilin Mountain. Mine, to attract people to the past...
This time, the people in Naganhe County who were brought to An Yong Zhuang in the name of making a living were all young and middle-aged men and women.
And it is not yet known whether other than Ganhe County, other nearby places have the same situation.
If there were, then the number of those who were taken away was really not a small number.
Earlier, Cao Han said that Cao Zhou had sold all the properties of the Cao family in cash, and he didn't know what to use them for.
Perhaps, it was used to appease the family members of the person who was brought to An Yongzhuang.
If, as Yunshang expected, they took the young and middle-aged men to An Yongzhuang and hid them in the name of making a living, but they were actually training soldiers in secret, that would be a great threat.
Those people who appeared in Jincheng before and changed their appearance to replace the original people of Jincheng, it is very likely that they were sent by An Yongzhuang.
But…
What Yunshang couldn't understand was that since the young and middle-aged people near Ganhe County had been almost hollowed out by Xia Houjing, and all of them were used for military training, why didn't Xia Houjing directly raise troops from Ganhe County and occupy them step by step? Other surrounding cities, fighting against them
But you want to bring people to Jincheng all the way? Starting from Jincheng
Yun Chang thought about it several times, and asked directly: "Is there no mine at all in that mountain, and those men who were brought there in the name of mining were dragged into the mountain to secretly train soldiers?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Shiqi's eyes. This incident was really too unimaginable. When they went there, they never guessed that this would be the case, but the queen made it right.
Seeing Shi Qi's expression, Yun Shang knew that she had guessed right: "That's true."
"Yes." Seventeen nodded, "This subordinate and Miss Qianzhuo are women, so they can only stay in Zhuangzi to wash and cook. The other men's hidden guards were taken into the mountains more than ten days after they arrived in Zhuangzi. "
"A few days later, they managed to send out the signal, that is to say, they secretly trained soldiers in the mountains. Not only that, they also hollowed out the mountains next to An Yongzhuang, which are the dragon veins of our Xia Kingdom."
"Empty the mountain?"
"Yes." Seventeen nodded and pursed his lips lightly: "They completely hollowed out that mountain, built a lot of fortifications in that mountain, and dug many caves that can enter the middle of that mountain."
Building fortifications in the mountains
Yunshang squinted her eyes. If that was the case, it would make sense that the people at Xia Houjing's side were trying to collect and consult the books on the construction of the fortifications.
However, what is the purpose of them digging out that mountain and building fortifications in the mountain
Since so many offensive and defensive fortifications have been built, why not raise troops near there
Could it be that Xia Houjing was afraid because of the defeat in Liucang
"The dark guards were training soldiers in that mountain and found out some news. Although they had gathered a lot of people from Ganhe County and nearby places to train soldiers more than a year ago. But what they saw, the people in that mountain People, the first ones to get there were only three months ago. Those who went further on were gone.”
Yun Shang nodded: "Maybe they were sent to Jincheng to pretend to be the people in the city, or maybe there are other places."
Shi Qi also knew what happened in Jincheng before, but he didn't connect it with what happened in An Yongzhuang. Hearing what Yun Shang said, he suddenly seemed to realize something.
"It's possible."
As Shi Qi said, he thought of another incident: "Besides, the hidden guard also found out the most important piece of news."
"Helping in the construction of fortifications in that mountain, there are also people who have been drilled. In addition to the Xia people, there are also... Yelang people."
Yun Shang snapped her fingers in her sleeves, and finally showed some surprise on her face: "There are people from Yelang?"
