Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Man Behind the Scenes

The sun is shining in the sky, and the sun is shining.

With the support of everyone, Helan Zhe walked in front and led everyone to a wide flat land.

With the support of the Helan brothers, Helan Zhe finally saw the sun, and they had been in this dark cave for more than half a month, and they could only rely on the number of times they came to deliver food and water each time to distinguish the number of days.

One after another, many people from the Helan Department were released, and this was the first time they had seen the light of day since that night, and everyone was full of excitement under the sun, and they were gulping greedy for the fresh air outside the cave.

Helantu suddenly realized that something was wrong at this time, was he going to send them on his way? Helan Tu quietly told He Lanzhe what he thought, He Lanzhe thought about it carefully, and said, I don't think it's like it, if you want to kill us, just throw it in the cave and forget it, in a few days, we will all have to die there, right now, let us out, it must have other meanings.

Helantu whispered, so what should I do now? He Lanzhe said, let's wait and see what kind of moth these people want to make?

He Lanzhe looked carefully, only to see that this seemed to be a camp, on the high platform in the distance, someone was talking about something, but the distance was too far to hear clearly, at this time, I saw that these people had prepared several large buckets of hot water, saying that they were going to bathe them, and after it was over, there were a group of people who came to shave their hair and beards.

After a period of chaos, there were hundreds of more bald heads, and then they were served, and someone brought seven or eight buckets of food, which was much better than the food in the cave before. The people in Helan couldn't control it so much, just die, at least be a full ghost, so everyone began to eat nonsense.

Helan Zhe was eating with the Helan brothers, while looking around, this is a valley, surrounded by towering mountains, a large open space in the middle, looking from a distance, it seems that there is still a camp, these people are also dressed strangely, they are all black clothes and black turbans, only their eyes are exposed, and their faces are not revealed, with knives at their waists, looking at them silently one by one.

At this time, Helan Zang stabbed He Lanzhe and whispered, Uncle, look over there. He Lanzhe looked in that direction, and saw that in the distance, this group of black-clothed people dragged out a group of people from a cave, and it was the wave of people led by the Buliu Gu brothers, as well as a large group of people.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, at this time, a man in black came over and shouted in Xianbei to make them stand up, and then put chain handcuffs on everyone and bolted them into strings, and the man in black said to let them start mining, and distributed tools to them.

Helan Zhe and the others were soft and had no strength, and unexpectedly, when they arrived in the mine, they suddenly felt that their strength had recovered? Then when I finished my day's work, I felt that I had become soft again. Even if you want to sneak away, there is no way, just like that, a few months have passed, autumn goes to winter, winter goes to spring.

Until one day, finally a person couldn't bear such a day after day of hard work, fainted, and the people who guarded them did not carefully check whether this guy really fainted, or pretended, and because he was afraid of the plague, he poked a few times with a knife, and saw that this person did not react, so he let people throw him to the back mountain, who expected, this person was really unconscious at first, and then after being poked a few times, he was a little dazed to wake up, and then he was thrown off the mountain, this person had a big life, and he didn't die, Along the way, I searched and came to Duan Chen's place.

Duan Chen thought carefully for most of the night, and decided to divide the troops into two ways, the Buliu Gu brothers and He Lanzhe could not go to the rescue, and the affairs of the Duan Department could not be relieved, so he summoned Li Hu and the Yin brothers, and deployed five elite Niu Lu from Monaro's headquarters, all of which were equipped with one person and two horses, and 1,500 soldiers under the leadership of Li Hu and the Yin brothers took the people who escaped out to report the news as guides, and went to rescue He Lanzhe and the Bu Liugu brothers.

Duan Chen sent away the Yin brothers and Li Hu, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, because now he was facing an unknown opponent, he didn't know who these people were, and he didn't know who were behind these people, but Duan Chen couldn't ignore the Buliu Gu brothers, not to mention that if everything went well this time, it was possible to tie the old guy He Lanzhe to his chariot, this old guy likes to fight and kill this kind of thing the most.

Yecheng

In January, there was still heavy snow fluttering in Yecheng, and snowflakes were blowing in the entire Yecheng, gilding all the scenery with silver-white light, and the chaotic footprints destroyed the snow scene that should have been holy in front of a palace, and the palace maids who came in and out also broke the silence in the snow.

This palace is Princess Zhao's palace, and its name is Ankang Palace, but now that I think about it, this name seems a little ironic, because Princess Zhao has been sick since she contracted last winter, and several months have passed, and the diseases raised in the Ankang Palace are getting heavier and heavier.....

Princess Zhao was lying on the sickbed, her already pale face looked even paler, and the painful * sound and dream sound from time to time in her mouth made people feel a little distressed.

King Zhao Sima Lun kept pacing in the room, asking the imperial doctor again and again, and getting angry again and again because of their reply, King Zhao suddenly clenched his hand into a fist, and smashed it on the wooden bed, he knew that the princess was no longer young, he closed his eyes and wanted to calm himself, but the pain in his hand was far less intense than the pain in his heart.

After a long time, he waved helplessly to the people kneeling on the ground. The imperial physician and the palace maids all withdrew, and for a moment, the palace was quiet again, one sitting quietly, the other lying quietly, as if it had been many, many nights before, but now when he stared at this familiar face, she closed her eyes tightly, and could not see him.

The dancing candle flame reflected the dark palace flickering, this flickering halo outlined the face of King Zhao, the original straight side face and handsome face were already full of wrinkles, under the reflection of the candlelight, King Zhao seemed to be much older all of a sudden.

At this time, a voice came from outside the palace, Lord Wang, Sun Xiu asked to see him.

After waiting for a long time, King Zhao said, come in.

With a squeak, the gate of the palace was pushed open, and a lewd figure slipped in, knelt down in front of King Zhao, and said, Lord Wang, the ore vein has been found, and we have begun construction.

When King Zhao heard Sun Xiu's words, he just nodded slightly and did not speak.

Outside the palace, the snow was still falling, all the time......
