Chapter 205: Voles Dig Out the Salt Mine
The situation in Lingzhou City is currently a bit complicated, and Cui Shi is bent on getting rid of Qin Ze, so he hasn't even announced the news of the advance of the Lu army.
Qin Ze knew that this matter must not be let go like this, and now Cheng Chumo and the others were trapped in Lingzhou City, and they didn't know anything about the outside world, which was extremely dangerous.
Qin Ze simply gathered Cheng Chumo and Li Duwei together and informed them of this trip to Xishan.
The three thousand iron horsemen who suddenly appeared in Hulu were definitely not as simple as imagined. At this time, Captain Li also directly put down his words, and immediately sent troops to start inspecting the surroundings. As for Cui Shi's order to defend Lingzhou, it directly became a dead letter.
No one knows how powerful the Turkic Tooth Army is, this army that Jieli has cultivated for two years, if it is really close to Lingzhou City, then the so-called Jiancheng will become meaningless, this Qin Ze is clear.
In the next few days, Cui Shi and Cui Erye did not show up in Lingzhou City. I don't know if I feel that I can't get over my face, or if I feel ashamed. Anyway, they didn't go out in Lingzhou Mansion, but this also gave Qin Ze a lot of convenience.
Last time in Xishan Horse Market, Qin Ze brought butter tea to the hands of the Xitu people. And he deliberately revealed that it was something that only the powerful could enjoy. It's enough advertising.
Now after these days of fermentation, presumably butter tea has become famous. Therefore, Wang Fu and others also plan to go to Xi Tu's tribe to see if they can promote butter tea.
Now that the situation is unknown, Cheng Chumo and they searched around Xishan, but they did not find where Yehulu's army was hiding. So in the end, I can only retreat to Lingzhou City and wait and see.
In this case, Qin Ze was naturally relieved. Originally, he planned to take Zhou Cheng and them to accompany Wang Fu on a trip to the Xitu tribe. But just this morning, something happened in Lingzhou City.
Doesn't Cui Shi have three other driving mansions in Lingzhou City?
As a result, just this morning, a large mansion located in the east of the city suddenly collapsed more than half. I don't know if it's Trish's shit luck, this guy didn't go back to this courtyard last night.
But when the relationship between him and Qin Ze was tense, this incident also scared Cui Shi unclearly. directly transferred a thousand men and horses to surround Qin Ze again.
Therefore, Qin Ze had no way to follow Wang Fu to Xi Tu, so he could only let Zhou Cheng follow with the fifth team.
I haven't seen Cui Shi for a few days, obviously getting a lot older, especially on his sideburns, and even beginning to look gray.
It can be seen that this guy is very nervous now, and even a little frightened. It was also a few days ago that made him realize that in Lingzhou City, it was not he who had the final say. At least when he asked Li Duwei to subdue Qin Ze, the other party didn't obey his orders at all
It is precisely because of this that Cui Shi has not slept well in the past few days. is afraid that Qin Ze will suddenly rush in and kill himself.
Until this morning......
"Is there something wrong with Lord Cui, Qin didn't take half a step out of this military camp yesterday, I'm afraid there is something strange in it, right?"
Qin Ze said this, but in fact, he had already begun to mutter in his heart. Did this guy Cui Shi want to frame himself, so he ruined his courtyard?
"Please ask the host to complete Liu San'er's wish task of rescuing his father, and the host will get five wish points if he completes this wish." The system opened his mouth coldly, which also made Qin Ze stunned.
"Liu San'er?" Qin Ze thought about it carefully, as if he had never heard of this name.
At this time, Qin Ze's eyes suddenly darkened. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a child of about seven or eight years old digging in a hole in the ground, digging the dirt bag in front of him.
"What is this?" Qin Ze vaguely felt that this place was somewhat familiar, and immediately reacted after looking around.
"Go and save someone!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Ze also reacted, the sudden collapse of the Lingzhou Mansion was neither a ghost caused by Qin Ze, nor a frame-up by Cui Shi. It's that what he'd been fearing happened.
These people of Lingzhou City are like voles, constantly digging holes in the ground. This time it was a complete digging of the wrong place, and the Lingzhou Mansion was directly dug up.
Qin Ze was not happy with this move, but Cui Shi wanted to reach out to stop him, but he was directly rushed out by Qin Ze.
"The hole in the ground was trodden, and the people were buried in it." As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who originally wanted to stop Qin Ze also got out of the way.
Sure enough, when Qin Ze ran over, he saw at a glance that the original magnificent Lingzhou Mansion had now collapsed in half. What kind of rockery pavilion or something, it is even more directly trapped.
Looking at the ground again, a deep pit with a diameter of dozens of zhang suddenly appeared in front of Qin Ze. He settled down, and then he heard the sound of someone crying in the sinkhole.
At this time, Cheng Chumo and the others also rushed over, and Qin Ze didn't say a word and asked everyone to go down to help dig people.
The depth of this sinkhole was about one zhang, and Qin Ze had to let people tie himself down with a cowhide rope. The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, which made Qin Ze a little uncomfortable.
There was a sound of rustling all around, the sound of people fleeing who were still saving people.
Qin Ze didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he asked Cheng Huailiang to go to the Ordnance Prison to ask for the Zhenguan shovel that they had beaten a few days ago, and began to dig quickly.
There is great strength in numbers, and many people work together. In the end, the people who had been hiding also came out one after another, and they also helped to start digging.
It only took a cup of tea to dig out the five or six people buried in it. I was not hit by the falling things, but they were buried for a long time, and they were a little hypoxic.
Qin Ze wanted to bring people to the top of the ventilation, but was stopped by an old man: "Lord Qin, the little ones can't see the light!" ”
"I'll tell you what I can't see. If they stay here, they will never be saved. ”
There is little oxygen in this sinkhole, and staying here is definitely a dead end.
But although Qin Ze said so, the old man still stopped him and refused to let him take people out.
Qin Ze knew what the other party was worried about, and dug up Cui Shi's Lingzhou Mansion, if this was discovered, it would definitely be impossible to escape death.
But Qin Ze couldn't take care of so much, firstly, this was an opportunity to communicate with the people of Lingzhou City, and secondly, this was also his own task.
"Old man, I promise you that you will be safe." Qin Ze was ruthless and assured the other party.
Maybe it was Qin Ze's frustration of Cui Shi a few days ago that gave him a good impression in the hearts of these people, and those people who were surrounding the side slowly retreated.
Qin Ze hurriedly took people out, and Sun Simiao had already rushed over. Without saying a word, he touched those people, and then opened his silver needle box and began to prick needles at these people.
At this time, Cui Shi had already brought people to surround him, and as soon as he saw that his Lingzhou Mansion was destroyed like this, and looked at the people on the ground, he immediately reacted, and he couldn't wait to rush up and behead those people.
"You dare to murder me, don't you take my Datang law in your eyes."
Cui Shi was obviously a little angry, and he directly ordered Li Duwei to arrest the people in those caves.
During this time, Qin Ze did not speak, but followed Sun Simiao to save people. There is a person who has been delayed for a long time, and even Sun Simiao shook his head and sighed.
Qin Ze knew that this was the reason why the other party had been starved of oxygen for too long, and hurriedly began to give the other party cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
"Is there any way for Doctor Sun to ventilate?" Qin Ze asked while squeezing the other party.
Sun Simiao was also a little curious when he saw Qin Ze like this, but he still went up and pointed at the man's body for a few stitches. Speaking of which, Sun Simiao's stitches went down, and the other party immediately screamed out.
Dead and resurrected?
Everyone looked at Sun Simiao with a shocked face, and they admired this old miracle doctor even more in their hearts. But Sun Simiao knew that all this was entirely due to Qin Ze, if it wasn't for him doing that kind of strange action, he wouldn't be sure to resurrect the other party from the dead.
Qin Ze waved his hand to stop Sun Simiao's words, he didn't want to take the credit of this divine doctor. It's just simple cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which is still very effective for people with this lack of oxygen.
I don't know why Qin Ze suddenly remembered that in the painting boat of Furong Lake that day, he used this method to save Li Shiyun.
"It's good that I wasn't allowed to do artificial respiration, otherwise it would ......"
Qin Ze looked at the man who woke up with a strange expression, but he also shook his head.
These people do not see the sun all year round, and they eat some elm leaves and the like every day, and they are all extremely weak. If this toss continues, it is estimated that half a life will be missing.
This will emerge from the hole in the ground one after another, and these are the people of Lingzhou City. Qin Ze looked at the old man who was caught in Cui Shi's hand, and also guessed that the other party should be the governor in the minds of the people of Lingzhou City.
"Lord Cui, stop it quickly, don't hurt the people." Qin Ze walked up and rescued the old man from Cui Shi's hands.
"Hmph, they tried to kill me, and you dare to say that I let them go. Could it be that you are colluding, right? ”
Cui is face became a little hideous, and he said viciously at Qin Ze.
But Qin Ze didn't eat him at all, but said with a smile: "Who said that they intended to murder Master Cui, they are looking for a salt mine for Your Majesty." ”
"Salt mines?" Cui Shi sneered, looked at Qin Ze's eyes and said like a fool: "Lingzhou City is located in Weibei, far away from the sea and river, how can there be a salt mine?" Lord Qin, didn't you think Cui was easy to bully? ”
"Yanzhou Wuyuan Wu Pond, White Pond, Tile Pond, and Detail Pond. There are also hot spring pools, two well pools, long tail pools, five spring pools, red peach pools, Huile pools, and Hongjing pools in this Lingzhou. There are river pools in Huizhou. There is Huluo Pond in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.
Youzhou, Datong, and Hengye have salt tun. Qinghai, Chu, Hai, Cang, Di, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other prefectures have salt production. Master Cui should know this better than anyone else, right? ”
