When the two of them came to King Kang's Mansion, they saw two long lines at the door, and they came forward to inquire only to know that it was King Kang's Mansion who was recruiting family members and maids, with a construction period of five years and ten taels of silver per year.

Xiang Luyang pulled Ye Qiushui aside, and then whispered to Ye Qiushui: "I'll go there to line up in a while, see if I can get into the palace, you go back to the inn and wait for my news, if you don't have any news from me, don't do it first." ”

Ye Qiushui said: "I'll go with you too, the two of them still have a care." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "No, if the two of us go in together, no one will go back to the inn to deliver the letter, and those boys won't see our two people when they come back, maybe something will happen." ”

"Besides, if I go in alone, I can get out if something happens, just rely on their primitive cold weapons, if they want to trap me, I guess they can't do it."

Ye Qiushui lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "That's okay, I'll go back to the inn first and wait for your news, if there is no news in three days, we will find a way to sneak into the palace to find you." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "Don't worry, I still have this." Saying that, he patted the 92-style pistol in his clothes Xiang Luyang had been standing in the middle of the team for almost an hour, looking at the team moving slowly, Xiang Luyang began to be suspicious, this Kang Wangfu said that it was recruiting family members, but as far as his own observation for more than an hour, there were four or five hundred people who went in, and these people only entered and could not leave, no matter how big this Kang Wangfu was, it would not be possible to use so many family members, right?

When he lowered his head and pondered, he had already followed the team to the gate of King Kang's mansion, and at this time, a person who looked like a housekeeper said to Xiang Luyang: "Name, age, where do you live?" ”

After Xiang Luyang answered them one by one, the housekeeper did not verify them, but gave him a small wooden card and asked him to wait inside, Xiang Luyang took the small wooden card and walked inside.

After walking into the courtyard, Xiang Luyang found that this place is a little different from other courtyards, there are no houses around here, except for a door on the north and south sides of the whole courtyard, the rest of the place is a wall more than two meters high, just when Xiang Luyang looked at this courtyard, a young man next to him who looked like he was flowing said to Xiang Luyang: "This brother, what is the word on the sign you are holding?" ”

Asked by this young man, Xiang Luyang took a closer look at the wooden sign in his hand, and saw that the front of the wooden card was a "Kang" word, and the back was a "Yi" word.

The young man saw that the back of Xiang Luyang's sign was the word "one", so he smiled and said: "Brother, can you change your brand to me, I came with my friend, and his is also the word "one", I want to be with him, and I will take care of him in the future." ”

As he spoke, he handed over his own sign with the word "three" on the back, Xiang Luyang just wanted to blend into the palace, as for the number of signs, it had no practical meaning to him, so he didn't think much about it, and took the sign in the young man's hand.

After waiting for more than an hour, finally no one came in again, at this time the person who looked like a housekeeper at the door just now walked in from the outside, stood on a high place, and shouted to the people below: "Now everyone looks at the sign in their hands, and stands according to the words on the sign, the word "one" stands on the left, the word "two" stands in the middle, and the word "three" stands on the right. ”

As soon as the butler's voice fell, the crowd below began to move, and after a while, everyone stood in their respective ranks according to the number plate in their hands.

At this time, Xiang Luyang found out that this brand was issued according to the physical element, looking at these old, weak, sick and disabled people next to him, Xiang Luyang muttered for a while: "What the hell is this Kang Wangfu doing, with so many families at one time, it is enough for these people to form a small army." ”

After seeing that everyone was standing according to the area, the housekeeper explained a few words to the people around him, and the person holding the word "one" and "two" was brought in from the north gate by the soldiers.

Looking at the remaining more than 100 people in the courtyard, the housekeeper shook his head and said, "It's too little, it's at least half of the number of people required by the prince." ”

At this time, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man next to him said, "Why don't you pull the word "two" over as well." ”

The housekeeper said: "No, those people have other arrangements, you can bring these people over first, and I will find a way for the rest." ”

At this time, I saw the sharp-beaked monkey cheek man waving his hand to the back, Xiang Luyang and they were surrounded by a group of soldiers, and they couldn't help but say that Xiang Luyang and they were shackled, at the beginning, there were a few objections, but after being slashed a few times by the back of these soldiers, no one dared to resist.

After Xiang Luyang was shackled, he carefully observed this primitive torture instrument, and found that it was not difficult to open this thing, so he didn't make a sound, he wanted to see what the hell was going on in King Kang's mansion.

After this group of people was shackled, they were pressed in from the north gate by these soldiers, and when they came to the inner courtyard, the people who came first just now were gone, and there was not even a person in the huge courtyard.

Just as Xiang Luyang was observing this courtyard, the people in front of them had been driven into a secret passage in the corner.

After Xiang Luyang walked into the secret passage with the team, it took a while to get used to it before he saw the true face of this secret passage, this is a secret passage three meters wide and two meters high, looking at the traces on the wall, this secret passage should have just been dug not long ago, there are no lighting facilities in it, but there will be a soldier standing guard every twenty meters or so.

After walking in this secret passage for about two hours, Xiang Luyang saw the sun shining in not far ahead, it seemed that this secret passage should be at the end, Xiang Luyang roughly estimated, according to the footsteps of these people, they have to walk out at least ten kilometers in two hours, according to this distance, these people should be outside the city now.

After walking out of the secret passage, Xiang Luyang found that he and the others were indeed outside the city, and the location they were in at this time was a valley, this valley was like a big U-shape, and the location where they were now was the opening of the U-shape, standing at this opening, the scene in the entire valley was unobstructed.

I saw that in the valley below, more than 20 earthen blast furnaces were emitting thick smoke, and groups of ragged people were busy around one blast furnace after another.

After these people were brought into the valley, the sun had already set, and because it was getting late today, these people were not assigned to work, but after breaking the shackles, they were all driven into the caves and guarded.

Xiang Luyang moved his arm that was a little numb, then found a corner to lean against the wall, and began to close his eyes and recuperate, thinking about the plan of action for the night by the way.
