Chapter 668: Digging a Tunnel

The four men of the Holy Hand Butcher began the intense excavation of the tunnel, which was a heavy and delicate project.

Although they had 200 guards to help them, they started out on their own.

They first used pickaxes and shovels to dig a three-meter-deep hole in their tent, and the excavated soil was carried up in straw bags and dumped on the inside of the trench by the guards.

Some of Hassan's men also noticed the Han people's movements, but they didn't care, thinking that the Han people were cowardly and reinforcing their trench defenses.

The first day's work is best done, this is tossing in your own territory, how to dig how reasonable, even if it is discovered by others, it is nothing, and the future work will be difficult, you dig the tunnel under the heel of others, then you don't care about anything.

The Holy Hand Butcher and the Captain of the Golden Touch did not rush to dig out, but carefully measured the position of the Great Tent of the King of Alta after coming out, which was a technical job, and could not be neglected at all, but if the direction was wrong, he would not know where to dig. This is a difference of a thousand miles.

"Can it be done in seven days?" Ji Chang asked.

"If you can't, you have to be able to, the adults have given death orders, and if you don't finish it, you will cut off your head." Captain Touching Jin muttered.

In fact, he just said that he would give up the plan if it was not completed in seven days, and he didn't say that he would cut off their heads, but once he gave up the plan, it meant that he would not give them the location map of the tomb, which was more uncomfortable than cutting off their heads in the eyes of Captain Jin.

"Your task is not heavy, you dug three meters this morning, and the amount of excavation every day in the future is less than two miles, and besides, we still have so many people to help you." Ji Chang comforted.

"Master Ji, you haven't done this job, you don't know the Tao inside, today is the easiest to do, and it will be more and more difficult from tomorrow." Captain Touching Jin said with a sad face.

"I haven't done this work before, but it can't be as difficult as you say, it's just such a little distance in total, how difficult can it be?" Ji Chang said.

Touching the captain of Jin ignored him angrily, discussing his major with laymen is the most boring, he doesn't understand anything, and the more he talks, the more boring it becomes.

Ji Chang looked down on these four guys in his heart, aren't they tomb robbers, and he made himself look like some expert, so embarrassed.

If there is no tomb robber who touches Captain Jin, this work has to be done, that is, the guards themselves do it, whether they can dig a correct tunnel leading to the big tent of the king of Alta, it is really difficult to say.

In the afternoon, the four of them began to direct the guards to dig, and the four of them really became experts, pointing fingers at the side, and the angry guards blew their beards and stared at each other, but they couldn't help it, and they were told that they must fully cooperate with the four of them. What's the fit? It is to listen to other people's commands.

The excavation went smoothly on this day, and there was no such bad luck as a landslide and a roof, and it was quickly dug under the trench.

You have to be careful when digging out, because there are often Tatar cavalry coming and going, and you have to make sure that you don't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Besides, when he came back in the evening, he knew the progress of the project, and he was very satisfied, and told Ji Chang to arrange the meals of these people well, and to supply enough wine and meat for these people, so as not to get drunk.

"My lord, I think we can do this job ourselves, why do we have to ask for these four rammers, one by one, as if they were twenty-five or eighty-thousand." Ji Chang airway.

"Do it yourself? This is not digging a trench or simply digging a tunnel, if that were the case, I would have exchanged them for something, and I would have corrected them a long time ago. Be patient, these days, just treat them as bosses and listen to them completely, and if they can't dig this tunnel, I'll settle accounts with them at that time. And sneered.

"My lord, how are the negotiations going?" Ji Chang asked.

"It's okay, it's going normally, there's no hurry." And laughed.

At the end of the day, even the first issue was not discussed, both sides were very tough, no one refused to make concessions, and the king insisted on exchanging wool and animal skins for the grain cloth and salt of the Ming Dynasty, and the amount required was very large.

The officials of Taifu Temple are also very tough, and if you want to change these things, you must use military horses, and they must be the best military horses.

Military horses are the same as people, they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the general horses can only be used to pull the cart for civilian use, only good horses can be used for military riding, in the military horses or to divide the ranks, there are also carts and people to ride, the officials of the Taifu Temple require that all military horses must reach the first class.

The two parties slapped the table and glared, and finally the curses came up, but they couldn't negotiate.

Besides, there is no hurry with the three khans, this is the normal phenomenon of negotiations, if you come up and divide five by two, all the options will be negotiated, not only unrealistic, but also will make people doubt the sincerity of the other party. Without mentioning any conditions, is it specifically for the purpose of breaking the contract?

The king of Altan held a banquet in the evening to entertain the negotiators of both sides, and did not attend, on the pretext that the camp had just settled down and there was still a lot to do, so he came back alone and let Cao Delin and others attend the banquet.

Yu Du naturally followed him back like a fart, he didn't leave an inch outside, besides, the demon creatures had just killed a nearby tribe, devouring more than 500 people from a tribe, this incident caused the wrath of the king of Altan, he sent cavalry with firearms borrowed from the White Lotus Sect to release a random air over that tribe, and then used the jade seal left by Emperor Yuan Shun to cover the spell written by a Dharma king and burn it, wanting to curse this demon to death.

I don't know if I see all this, but there are already rumors that the demon beings were recruited by the saint, because the saint was infected, so wherever she goes, the demon creatures will follow.

The rumor was winged and colorful, so some tribesmen proposed to the king of Alta that the holy woman should be exiled to a place where there were no people, so that the demonic creatures would be led away by her and all beings would be at peace.

The king of Alba sternly rejected this proposal, saying that this was an unprecedented catastrophe faced by all the tribes of the grassland, and that it was not a disaster caused by any one person.

Besides, after hearing these things, he was both happy and ashamed, happy that the saint had * trouble this time, which also indicated that the White Lotus Sect had * trouble, and he was ashamed that he himself vaguely understood that this demon creature might have come with him, otherwise how could he always sense it, and others would not have been able to discover its existence at all.

What does he have to do with this demonic creature? Why is it clinging to it?

This is also a question that is difficult to understand.

Could it be that the elf in the Hell Diagram flew out and changed into this demonic creature?

Besides, there was a picture of hell that he had drawn by himself, which somehow changed and could be used as a talisman, and he saved his life under the sword of the assassin many times, so it can be said that without that picture of hell, he would have been dead a long time ago.

But one day, after he tied the Hell Diagram to his body, the Hell Diagram turned into a blank piece of paper.

If that's the case, then is it possible for you to get this demonic creature back again?

Moreover, I have been pondering this problem for the past two days, and I want to solve it completely at the right time.

The way to take it back is naturally to draw another picture of hell with memory, and then the idea of imprisoning the demonic creatures in this picture again, the idea is very good, and he has no eyebrows at all to do it.

After he saw Ji Chang here, he returned to his big tent of the Chinese army, Yu Duzheng drank his wine without seeing anything, and instructed the guards to roast him, completely treating it as if he was in his own palace.

The guards don't treat him as an outsider, they regard him as their own brother, and they are very willing to serve him, because Yudu has a lot of gold and silver, and they give gifts to the guards around them if they have nothing to do.

Of course, the guards did not covet this money, mainly knowing that he was the elder brother, and the future heir of Uliangha.

"Big brother, why are you busy when you come back, accompany my brother and me to drink, or your wine here is delicious, it's too right for you not to go to the banquet." Yu Du shouted.

And he did not speak, but sat down opposite him and drank with him.

In fact, the king of Alta knew that the Han people were not accustomed to drinking wine from outside the city, and the wine at the banquet was all the best wine bought by the merchants from Datong City, and the quality of the wine here was not worse.

"Big brother, do you think this negotiation will last for a year or two?" Yu Du asked.

"Quite possibly." Besides, he laughed.

It is not uncommon to talk about such an important negotiation for a year or two, and it is likely that there will be multiple rounds of negotiations, and after one meeting, you will have to rest for a month or two, and then change places to continue talking.

But besides, I know that the king of Altan doesn't have so much time to spend with him, and it would be nice to have a month.

"Big brother, after this talk, do you want to go to your imperial capital next time to talk?" Yu Du asked.

"Quite possibly." And follow his words.

In fact, this possibility is basically zero.

"Then I'll go back with you, I also want to see the scenery of the mainland, I heard that the beauties in the mainland are also unique." Yu is very yearning for authenticity.

"You're still thinking about beauty." And laughed.

Yu Du now knew what he didn't do, and he was also distressed every day, but now the demonic creatures hovered over his head every day, and the fear of death made him forget about this trouble.

"Big brother, do you think my disease is cured?" Yu Du asked in frustration.

"All diseases can be cured, but you have to change your lustful and sadistic disease, otherwise there is no cure for this disease, and even if it is cured, it will recur." Besides.

Besides, he can cure the disease that he does not raise, but he is afraid that his old illness will recur and torment people again, so he will not treat him. The Uliangha Khan also begged him many times, after all, the successor of Uliangha could not do without the inheritance of incense, and he also promised to cure him, but he had to cure his bad diseases first.

"Okay, I'll go to the capital with you when it's over here, and you have to treat me when you get to the capital." I'm suffocated. Yu Du was overjoyed.

"You're trying to escape, aren't you?" Besides, he laughed.

Yu Du smiled embarrassedly, he was really afraid, if he wanted to get rid of this tragic situation of being threatened by demonic beings every day, then he had to flee far away, where was it far enough, the capital of Daming was always far enough.

Besides, he smiled bitterly in his heart, now he has to reconsider whether he can return to the mainland, if he changes places and the demonic creatures always follow him, then the game will be completely over.
