Chapter 6: Trapped in the Mine
"You haven't changed at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Xuan Shao chuckled, but didn't move half a step, letting her hold the dagger to her neck.
"Why are you here?" Although it was a question sentence, Mu Yunqian had a bland taste, and she didn't seem to expect Xuan Shao's response at all, she withdrew her dagger and took a step back.
"I..." Xuan Shao realized that he had just subconsciously come to see her, but he hadn't thought about how to say this opening sentence, "I can't sleep." ā
"If you can't sleep, you don't have to run to the vicinity of our Red Dome camp." Seeing his embarrassment, Twilight looked away and said as if talking to herself.
Seeing that she was no longer as tough and resistant as she was during the day, Xuan Shao stepped forward and said, "Are you still angry about the incident that I prevented you from going to Yunlang that time?" ā
Twilight was silent and didn't speak, just looking at the reflection of the silver moon on the inky river.
"I know that my words were a bit excessive that time, I apologize to you, so didn't you stab me later, and you should make up for it?" Xuan Shao saw that she didn't speak, and his heart was elusive, so he was even more anxious.
"I've never been angry."
"You're not angry?" Xuan Shao raised his eyebrows and asked expectantly.
"Xuan Shao, I wasn't angry with you, I didn't do it a year ago, I don't have it now, and I won't be angry with you in the future, because I have no position, we can only be enemies all the time, just like every time we fight, you and I can only stand head-on, clear and clear, you know?" Twilight clenched her fists and said the words in one breath, as if she couldn't speak any slower.
"I know... Between us..."Xuan Shao's tone darkened, how could he not know the embarrassing identity situation of the two of them? But how could he hold back?
"It's not early, I'll go back to sleep, you can go back too, please don't come to me in private like this in the future." Twilight Yunmo bypassed Xuan Shao's path and was about to leave, but her eyes never made contact with him for a moment.
Xuan Shao stood in place, listening to Twilight Yunmo's detached tone, he really didn't have the courage to stop her.
Rumble! Boom!
At this moment, there was a huge roar from nowhere, and the surrounding mountains suddenly shook, and before he knew what was happening, Xuan Shao had already subconsciously turned around and walked towards Mu Yunmo and pulled her into his arms, "Be careful!" ā
Mu Yunmo didn't react to this sudden change, when she came back to her senses, she had been protected in Xuan Shao's arms, she wanted to break away, but Xuan Shao said strongly: "Don't move." His strong chest was so close at the moment that even the beating of his heart could be felt clearly.
At the same time, the large camp not far away was lit up, and the soldiers all came out of the tents to find out what was happening.
After a moment, the surrounding surface gradually returned to calm, and Twilight Yunmo broke out of Xuan Shao's arms, avoiding his gaze and looking in the direction where the roar came from, "It's not like an earthquake, it seems to be the direction of your Xizhao base." ā
"It seems to be in the direction of one of our mines." Xuan Shao's eyebrows frowned slightly, "I'll go and take a look, you go back to the camp quickly, you must protect yourself!" After a disturbed glance at Twilight, he hurried in the direction from which the voice came.
Soon there was news that a mine under the control of Xi Zhaoguo collapsed, the cause is still under investigation, there are currently eleven miners trapped in the mine, life and death are uncertain, Xuan Shao has taken people to the mine to rescue.
Hearing the news, she originally wanted to lead the troops to support, but then dispelled this idea, in addition to Xizhao, the Manxi side should have also sent people to help, at this time the scene should be chaotic, if she sent the Red Dome soldiers to go, because of the contradiction between the two countries, it may not be a good thing for the rescue work, so Mu Yunwei let the Red Dome soldiers take advantage of the dawn to return to the camp to rest.
After everyone returned to the camp, Mu Yunqian went to the direction of the mine where the accident occurred, listening to the roar before, the collapse must be very serious, recalling Xuan Shao's back when he left, she was always uneasy in her heart.
When he arrived at the scene, Mu Yunwei stood in the reinforcement team sent by Manxi and did not attract too much attention. She looked through the crowd at the mine, the entrance to which was unrecognizable, blocked by a collapsing boulder. Next to the location of the cave entrance, a one-and-a-half-wide and narrow passage was opened, and everyone's eyes were staring closely at the passage, and then Xuan Shao's figure was not found around, thinking that he had already gone down the passage to save people.
The sky was covered with blue gray, and there was finally movement at the entrance of the passage.
"It's out! Someone is out! The men guarding the entrance to the passage slightly surrounded it, and the small half of a man leaned out, and the soldiers immediately pulled him out carefully. The man was still alive, and said in a very weak voice, "And... And there's a lot more to come..."
However, after all the miners were rescued, and even several soldiers who went down to rescue at the same time also came out, but Xuan Shao was never seen.
"The general is still inside, and there is a miner, who was crushed by a boulder in the depths of the mine and couldn't be rescued, but it was too narrow to accommodate many people, so the general let us come out first." One of the last soldiers to come out said as he took a big breath of air.
Xuan Shao...... Mu Yunwei suppressed his urge to rush into the passage, praying that Xuan Shao would come out in the next moment.
Xuan Shao, what is wrong with you, the air underground is originally insufficient, and the structure of the mine is unstable, and there may be danger again at any time......
Rumble! Boom!
Just when Mu Yunqian was imagining the countless possibilities in the cave, the inside of the mine really collapsed again, the stones obviously collapsed downward, and the originally dug passage hole was also blocked by stones again.
"Xuan Shao!" Before she realized what was happening, Mu Yunwei had already blurted out, but fortunately, there was a mess around her, and no one noticed her shouting.
"General!"
"General Xuanshao!"
The previous collapse made the original structure in the cave no longer stable, and the second collapse in front of the eyes was even more shocking.
Finally, when Fu dug about five zhang deep, a palm was exposed, and seeing this, everyone dug the mine more quickly, and finally rescued all the two, and the second figure was Xuan Shao.
At this time, he was lying on a stretcher, breathing weakly, blood oozing from the corners of his forehead, the mud all over his body was mixed with the blood of unknown people, his right leg seemed to have been hit by a heavy object in the hole, and now the knee part was bloody and blurred.
Soon Xuan Shao was about to be looked up, and when his stretcher passed by the Manxi troops where Mu Yunqian was standing, he didn't know if it was an illusion or real, he turned his head and opened his eyes to look at Mu Yunxian, but only for a moment, he closed his eyes again and fainted.
