Thirty thousand people marching, plus the requirement for a fast speed, the momentum was not small, and soon the people in the mines discovered: "Sir, it's bad, a large number of soldiers suddenly came down, and it seems that they want to surround this place."
The man called the Young Master, who was wearing a black mask, felt strange when he heard this. Logically, this place would not be leaked. He looked at the man covered in black and asked, "Are you hiding any news from us? Why are there soldiers here?"
The man in black also frowned when he heard this: "Now is not the time to talk about this, should we evacuate first?"
The young master snorted coldly, "Evacuate? That's easy to say. You can leave, but what about the 30,000 people here? Should we abandon the miners? Or should we activate the poisonous insects in their bodies and fight directly with the soldiers outside?"
He kept these people because they were very useful. But now, when he thought of this, the young master suddenly said, "No need to activate them, keep them for now, and retreat now. Send someone to find out what those soldiers are doing up the mountain?"
Logically speaking, this place is so hidden that those people would not know about it. As soon as the young master said this, two people around him ran out directly.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. These people still seemed to be very cautious. In that case, those who came out to inquire should not go back.
Not long after the two of them came out, they were knocked unconscious by Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, one each, and thrown aside.
The people inside wanted to wait for these two people to bring back the news, but that was impossible. The young master waited inside for a long time, and when he found that no one had returned, he suddenly stood up and said, "Retreat now. As for these people, don't worry about them."
Anyway, no one knows who these people are. Even if they are caught, they won’t be able to confess anything. The most important thing is that the soldiers probably can’t imagine that these people are all poisoned people.
After they are caught, they will probably be released soon. At most, it will be a little troublesome. After releasing them, we can use the poisonous insects to make them come back obediently!
It was because of this that the young master decided to retreat immediately. Qian Jiujiu looked at this young master and thought he was quite a character. He knew how to endure and retreat. If she and Mu Yexiao hadn't personally taken action, this man would have really been able to escape.
But now, she and Mu Yexiao have to stay here. If she lets this young man run away, then she won’t have to continue to stay here.
He exchanged a glance with Mu Yexiao, and then waited for the person inside to come out before going to catch him. But who could have thought that this young master never showed up! The first person to appear was the man in black who was called the elder.
The man in black covered himself tightly, and it was obvious that he was afraid that people would know his identity. Unfortunately, whether he was a human or a ghost, he would eventually be exposed. Qian Jiujiu looked at the elder. If he didn't take action, the man would run away. If he took action, the young master inside would probably be more cautious.
Rabbit said at this time: "You go and catch the man. I will help you watch the young man and will never let him leave."
With Rabbit's promise, Qian Jiujiu dared to go and catch the man. He and Mu Yexiao took action directly and instantly took off the face mask of the man in black. A familiar face was revealed. This was really the seventh elder among the twelve elders who eavesdropped on the meeting yesterday.
No wonder this guy was so angry yesterday. As expected, Helu Feifei guessed it right. This guy is a die-hard fan. The Seventh Elder was shocked when he saw the man and woman who suddenly appeared. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at the Seventh Elder with a smile: "Seventh Elder, right? It seems that this mineral deposit is really related to Helu Luruo."
Hearing this, the Seventh Elder frowned and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I discovered this mine and it has nothing to do with the Second Prince. Besides, the Second Prince is dead."
Qian Jiujiu laughed and continued, "It doesn't matter if you die. You are loyal to him. You are very good. It's a pity that you chose the wrong master! Don't you think so?"
In a few seconds, he caught the man, tied him up, and threw him aside. When he turned to look at Mu Yexiao, he found that in a short period of time, Mu Yexiao had already caught all those who came out.
She couldn't help but give Mu Yexiao a thumbs up: "My husband is amazing. He caught these people so quickly."
At this time, Rabbit's voice rang out: "Master, that young man changed his mask and clothes with someone else and sneaked into the miners."
Infiltrate the miners? This guy is quite capable: "What does that guy look like? If you like playing stealth, you can play with him for a while."
Just at this time, Qing Ye came with people: "Master, are you okay?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "I'm fine. The people have arrived just in time. Take them with you and go in to rescue the miners inside. Also, be careful to see if the miners will cooperate."
General Ming was a little confused: "Not cooperating? Why? Could it be that these people like to be miners here?"
Qian Jiujiu just smiled and didn't answer at all. General Ming was very conscious and started to bring everyone out. Because of Qian Jiujiu's words, these people were not treated very well.
Everyone had their hands tied and were pulled out one by one. Seeing more and more people coming out, Xue Tong's expression became more and more ugly. The number of people inside was far beyond his expectations.
He originally thought that having 10,000 or 20,000 people in it would be a lot, but after calculating, it turned out that there were actually 30,000 people. 30,000 people were missing, and he only received a little news.
I don't know if the prince and princess will look down on him. His ability seems to be really too poor. At this time, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at the miners coming out, and for a moment, they were speechless.
These people obviously didn't eat well, and everyone was skinny, but they didn't seem to have any problems. Looking at so many people, he said, "Take them all to the barracks first and keep them under guard. I will check on them myself later."
Although I don't know what the prince wants to check, but since the prince has ordered it, I can only do it. Seeing that it was getting dark, General Ming left 3,000 people to guard the mine, and then led these people down the mountain.
In General Ming's opinion, no matter what kind of mine this is, as long as it is a mine, it is very valuable. Of course, this is indeed the case. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao also have to report the news of the mine to the emperor.
The emperor had already received the news from Mu Yexiao. Upon learning about Mu Yesheng's experience during this period, the emperor frowned, thinking that things were not going to go smoothly.
This Mu Yesheng was abolished as a commoner by his father, but it was probably to protect him. But he wanted to escape. Thinking of this, the emperor immediately summoned Gu Xiangning to the palace. He needed to discuss it with Gu Xiangning.
Gu Xiangning looked at the letter from the emperor and couldn't help but frowning: "In fact, the emperor has already understood in his heart that Mu Yesheng is trustworthy. In this case, it seems that it is not impossible to leave Jiayu Town to Mu Yesheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another bird stop in front of the emperor and stretch out its leg to let the emperor take the message himself. The emperor was speechless, as he had been in contact with Mu Yexiao quite frequently recently.
When he opened it, he found out that it was about a mine. The emperor was very happy: "Mu Yexiao and his men have discovered a mine and it has been mined. I have decided to let Mu Yesheng guard the mine and start making arrows. It will be of some use after all."
In other words, this mineral deposit was Mu Yesheng's surrender to the imperial court. After figuring this out, the emperor quickly wrote back to Mu Yexiao, and Mu Yexiao also knew what to do.
Qian Jiujiu here has been paying attention to the young man dressed as a miner. Seeing this young man, Qian Jiujiu found it a little funny. The young man did have some skills.
When he saw these miners, the young man instantly understood the difference between him and these miners. He used the dust on the ground to make himself a mess, and then put on the miner's clothes.
Fortunately, he was thin, so after dressing up like this, he really looked no different from a miner. It was a pity that he didn't know that everything he said was seen by Qian Jiujiu.
At this time, the young master was tied up with his hands and led to the military camp. In the middle of the night, these miners were finally brought to the military camp and all of them were arranged in the military camp.
Fortunately, we are in the playground, otherwise, there would not be enough space for all these people. Someone has already come back to tell the people in the barracks how many people will come.
So the food was prepared, which was a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, and Qian Jiujiu, Mu Yexiao, Xue Tong and others were invited into the tent by General Ming.
Qian Jiujiu had secretly instructed Rabbit to keep an eye on the young man inside, while she and Mu Yexiao went to have dinner. She was indeed a little hungry now.
The food served was the usual food. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao naturally didn't care. Xue Tong looked guilty: "It's all because of my incompetence as a county magistrate. So many people disappeared and I didn't even notice."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, and it was Mu Yexiao who spoke up: "You are quite derelict in your duty, but there is nothing we can do about it. After all, Jiayu Town is different from other places. It doesn't have a fixed population, so it's hard to check."
"Where exactly these people came from will only be known after the interrogation tomorrow. They may not all be from Jiayu Town. So don't be too quick to blame yourself. You can still make amends tomorrow."
Yes, tomorrow all these people will be examined, one by one, even if there is one person who is not poisoned. Even if they are poisoned, we will see what the situation is and whether they can be cured.
