Chapter 61: A Fruitful Harvest

By the time the two of them arrived and joined the crowd, the miners in the copper mine had already cooled down.

At this time, they were gathered in front of a high platform in the middle of the mine, looking up at several people on it, telling them something.

Wang Baoshan looked at the high platform, he saw He Dadou, Liu Qing, Qiao Lanyi, Cao Chong and others, all on it, and did not see Luo Ying and Luo Orion, so they looked for it in the crowd under the high platform.

He didn't pay attention to He Dadou's speech on the high platform, what content came to Bishan again, Wang Qiang had already asked He Dadou to memorize it, he didn't need to listen, he also knew what he was talking about, it was nothing more than some incendiary words.

"Brother Luo..."In the crowd, after looking for a while, he saw Luo Ying, so he ran over and called him.

"Brother Wang, why are you here, I just heard He Dadou and Liu Qing say that you fell into the well last night and disappeared, and they went down to look for you and didn't find you..."

"This..."He didn't say much about last night's events, so he just thought about it perfunctory. But when he was about to speak, Luo Ying asked him not to open his mouth first, but to let him listen to the speeches of a few people on the high platform.

Seeing this, Wang Baoshan couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he looked up to see He Dadou.

I saw He Dadou on the high platform, his eyes were a little moist, and his expression was sad, telling the scene of him, Wang Baoshan, and Liu Qing mixed into the mine yesterday.

He said that General Wang of the Black Wind Army, at the cost of his life, took him, along with his own personal entourage, mixed in the returning transport team, and quietly lurked in.

In the evening they went to the deepest part of the hut, intending to dig a wall there to meet their brothers outside. I never thought that when General Wang was exploring the terrain, he accidentally fell into a dry well there.

When he went down to rescue him, no one who saw him found a few bones at the bottom of the well......

"That's the way of a female ghost!"

Among the mine slaves in the audience, a bald old man became excited on the spot after hearing this.

"Ahh

"It's a pity, that General Wang......!

"This General Wang is really a righteous man, and he actually gave his life in vain for us miserable people... It's so frustrating for me to wait!"

......

When the miners heard this, they were all sad and angry, and they all told their feelings.

"What a good offspring! He was killed by a female ghost for us..."The old man from before was in tears at this time, and his expression was mourning, as if he was very sorry for the missing General Wang.

When Wang Baoshan saw this scene, he didn't feel funny, he looked at Luo Ying again, but found that the other party was looking at him with a strange expression. He asked, "Brother Luo, what's wrong?"

Luo Ying pursed his lips and motioned for him to look behind him.

Wang Baoshan remembered Jin Ling'er at this time, and turned to look at her, but found that Jin Ling'er was full of anger, looking at the mine slaves who said that female ghosts. I couldn't help but be shocked: This Jin Ling'er, it can't be a misunderstanding! Isn't the female ghost that those mining slaves are talking about?

Thinking of this, Wang Baoshan hurriedly persuaded her, saying: "Miss Jin! Don't get me wrong, they don't know the truth, they just talk nonsense... Don't be mad at them. ”

"I'm not mad at them...... I'm mad at you...... Tell me why you just ran over by yourself, did you want to leave me!" Jin Ling'er was persuaded by him, but turned her anger to him.

"No, no, I'm in a hurry..."Wang Baoshan saw her angry appearance, subconsciously touched her arm, which was still a little painful, and hurriedly stepped back.

"What to run, I don't pinch your arm... Hehe..."Jin Ling'er couldn't help but laugh when she saw his scared look.

However, she smiled and laughed, and suddenly found that the people around her were looking at her, which made her extremely unhappy, so she laughed even more unscrupulously.

But her presumptuousness caused herself a lot of trouble.

Almost all the miners present looked over, their eyes full of inquiry, puzzlement, and anger...... Wait, with complicated expressions, they looked at Jin Ling'er one after another.

It is no wonder that just now they were still immersed in grief and were mourning a general surnamed Wang. I didn't think about it, but I was disturbed by a burst of discordant laughter.

"General Wang...... You're still alive!"

Just when He Dadou on the high platform looked over with some anger, he unfortunately found Wang Baoshan, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, Wang Baoshan was already made a little bitter by Jin Ling'er's words and deeds. was shouted by him again, and he was even more embarrassed, and said in his heart: I'm not dead, how can I call it still alive?

He Dadou was obviously very happy to see that Wang Baoshan was fine, so he shouted loudly: "As mining slaves, we have been branded as slaves, and it will be difficult for us to live a normal life in the future." Nowadays, there is a good place where we can live a good life, and that is the Black Wind Ridge in the south of the city. Only by taking refuge in the Black Wind Army can we live more like individuals......"

As for He Dadou's words, Wang Baoshan didn't have the heart to listen to them anymore, but took Jin Ling'er and Luo Ying and walked towards the depths of the mine.

It was an area of copper ore stacks, and he was going to find Orion and the soldiers in his battalion.

When they arrived, Wang Baoshan found the soldiers counting the storage of copper ore. When he looked at the copper ore piled up like a small mountain, he couldn't help but start, so much! How many carts do you have to use to transport it back to the Black Wind Ridge!

"I can't imagine that there is so much copper ore, how can this be transported!" Luo Orion walked over at this time, and when he saw Wang Baoshan, he asked him.

"I don't have a good way, let's discuss it when General Qiao comes!" Wang Baoshan was also full of difficulties, even if the mine slaves carried a little bit by themselves, they couldn't be transported for a while.

After half the salary, Qiao Lanyi walked over with a few personal entourage. When she saw Wang Baoshan, she nodded and said, "It's good to come back," she also looked at Jin Ling'er on the side, and asked, "Who is this girl?"

"My name is Jin Ling'er, it's his..." Jin Ling'er just wanted to say about her sister, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.

Wang Baoshan watched Jin Ling'er stop talking, and he didn't understand what he meant. But Qiao Lanyi asked her identity, and he didn't know how to talk about it for a while.

It can't be said that she is the essence of gold and bronze, or the mountain god of this copper mountain, such mysterious and mysterious words! In that case, if he doesn't say that others don't believe him, it will be difficult for him to say it himself!

After thinking about it, he planned to find a random excuse, perfunctory, and said: "This is a friend I just picked up, I was lucky to have her last night, otherwise I would have been lost in the mountains..."

He saw that Qiao Lanyi seemed to be a little convinced, so he went on to say that he fell into the well last night and managed to climb out by himself, but found that He Dadou and Liu Qing were not there, thinking that something had happened to them. He found an earthen wall and began to dig a passage, which took a long time to dig through.

When he went out to find everyone, he got lost in the mountains and found other people. Fortunately, he later met the family of Miss Jin and took him out of the uninhabited mountainous area.

After dawn, it was also the golden girl who brought him here.

"Well... That's really thank you Miss Jin!" Qiao Lanyi listened to Wang Baoshan's words, and did not doubt anything else, and thanked Jin Ling'er.

"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter..."Jin Ling'er looked at Wang Baoshan, not feeling funny, but she couldn't help but laugh.

"It's okay, it's okay, the matter over there is almost over, now we have to discuss, how to go to that coal kiln..."

Because there are still many things waiting for everyone to deal with, no one can relax and explore the inexplicable collapse of the earthen wall of the copper mine before.

Perhaps it was a coincidence! Perhaps it was the heavens' eyes that opened its eyes and showed mercy, causing the earthen wall that stretched for miles to suddenly fall, allowing the soldiers to rush in smoothly.

This is also the conventional understanding of most people after the fact, and like other incomprehensible truths, everyone is willing to revere rather than curiously explore the root cause.

Because curiosity can kill a cat, but it can also kill one's own life.

Of course, in addition to these, what was able to receive the miraculous merit this time was due to Qiao Lanyi's decision at that time. If she hadn't arranged the soldiers to ambush around the copper mine in advance, she would not have been able to surround the overseers of the mine in a short period of time and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

After the successful completion of this rescue operation, after taking stock of the situation in the mine, everyone found that the harvest was very rich.

Among them, not only are there countless copper ores, but also an astonishing amount of gold ore has been found in that earthen city building, which must have been dug up in this copper mountain. There are also many kinds of other weapons, tools, chariots and horses, etc., and they will not be counted for a while.

In fact, the biggest harvest is the miners on the Li family's copper mine. According to the soldiers who counted them, the number of young and middle-aged miners, excluding more than 300 wounded, old and young, was an encouraging number, about 2,579.

When He Dadou, Liu Qing, Cao Chong and others were busy, it was almost dusk. Several of the people in charge met to discuss what to do next.

Deliberation came and went, and finally it was agreed that without further ado, special things should be done. Because the copper mine has to send copper ore to the coal kiln every day, today is busy for a day, and it has not been delivered, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the people there, if they come to check, I am afraid that what happened here will be exposed.

Although so many miners could easily wipe out the coal kiln if they rushed together, the miners had not undergone any formal training and could not act well. Moreover, the combat capability is low, and it is easy to form a chaotic situation, which will lead to rescue operations and loss of effective control.

In order to prevent a long night and many dreams, everyone decided to act tonight. But when he asked about the specific location of the coal kiln, He Dadou didn't know, so he had to ask him to go to the mine slave and find someone who had been there.

Because there are not as many miners in that coal kiln, there are not many here, and they are not mainly mining, mainly smelting copper and cast iron. Therefore, there are less than 100 supervisors and thugs arranged by the Li family.

This also happened to give Qiao Lanyi and the others the confidence to attack at night. They left half of the soldiers, led by Cao Chong and Luo Orion, together with nearly 3,000 mining slaves in Tongshan, carrying part of the copper ore, wrapped all the gold ore, brought weapons and tools, and rushed back to Heifengling at night.

There were also half of the soldiers, led by Qiao Lanyi and others, who went to attack the coal kiln overnight.
