Chapter 37: Yinshuifeng Mine (2)

Another table in the lobby said, "Do you know who is sending the prisoner car this time? Speaking out scares you to death"

A middle-aged man hurriedly asked with a curious gaze: "I heard that it is the son of a general from the imperial capital of the Great Wei, what is it called," the man took a sip of wine, closed his eyes and thought, suddenly patted his leg with his hand, and then nodded and said, "By the way, it seems that the surname is Xue, yes, yes, it is the surname Xue."

Another big man at the same table looked incredulous and asked, "Do you know again?" ”

The middle-aged man suddenly showed a smug look on his face, and said with his eyebrows: "I have a relative who is on an errand in the yamen of the mine, and he came back to tell me that night, saying that the man is coaxing, and his temper is not very good. And..."

While eating, the three of them listened to the diners in the lobby chatting about the after-dinner anecdotes. The crowd in the lobby is bustling like a small intelligence exchange office.

After eating, the three of them paid and walked out of the inn, and as soon as they got out of the inn, Yu Wenyue instructed Yue Qi: "You go and contact our people and get ready." Xing'er and I went to the west of the city. ”

"No" Yueqi received the order and turned to leave.

Yu Wenyue took Chu Qiao's hand, found a passerby and asked the direction of the west of the city, and then pulled Chu Qiao forward.

The town under the sunset, as if sprinkled with a layer of golden veil, set off the green silver water peak not far away, beautifully appeared in people's eyes, just a landscape painting, let people stop and admire.

Yu Wenyue led Chu Qiao to stroll down the street, and saw the stalls selling jewelry on both sides that had not yet been closed, so he walked up to take a look.

On a jewelry stall in the middle of a stroll, a silver pendant attracted Chu Qiao. The pendant is a silver crescent, the appearance of the crescent is carved with intricate patterns, complicated but not tacky, and the tip of the moon holds a black star, reflecting a little purple starlight in the light.

Yu Wenyue walked to the stall, glanced at it, and fell in love with this exquisite pendant, looking at Chu Qiao sideways, Chu Qiao was looking at the pendant with interest, reaching out to pick it up and take a look, who knew that Yu Wenyue picked up the pendant one step ahead of her, and asked: "Stallholder, how to sell this Xingyue pendant." ”

The stall owner looked at the two guests who were wearing brocade in front of him, and his face, which was originally flat, immediately overflowed with a flattering smile like a change of face, and leaned over and said: "Your guest has good eyesight, this pendant is the best thing in my house, fifty taels of silver." You look at the exquisite workmanship, absolutely cost-effective. ”

Chu Qiao looked at the stall owner and said coldly: "Fifty taels, it's too expensive, thirty taels." ”

The stall owner immediately changed his face and said, "Distinguished guest, you see that this workmanship is not only thirty taels, this is a high-grade Mithril, a high-grade Purple Star Stone, and a minimum of thirty-five taels." ”

"Thirty-five taels, you blackmail. A high-quality slave girl was only sold for ten taels. Chu Qiao retorted in a cold voice.

The boss said disapprerovingly: "How can this jewelry be compared with the maidservant, the jewelry is bought in the heart, besides, this husband buys a favorite gift for the lady, only thirty-five taels, it's not expensive." After speaking, he looked at Yu Wenyue, and his eyes seemed to say, your lady has taken a fancy to it, don't you buy it.

Yu Wenyue heard the last few words, and a smile appeared on her face. was about to reach out and take out the silver in his arms, but Chu Qiao on the side pulled his hand, and his movements paused, and he said indifferently: "I am taking the silver chain that matches it, thirty-five taels." When the stall owner heard this, he dared to love this husband who was more ruthless than the lady, and he had to send a good silver chain for thirty-five taels.

"You don't sell it, if you don't sell it, we'll leave." Chu Qiao urged.

The stall owner saw that the two people who came to pay for it finally came, so he simply agreed, but he still had a bitter gourd face on his face, as if he had lost so much that he didn't even have a place to cry, and said with a bitter face: "Sell, sell, sell, this loss-making business." ”

Yu Wenyue took the silver chain given by the boss and strung the Xingyue pendant. Then he reached out and took out the silver in his bosom and threw it to the stall owner. The stall owner who took the money changed his bitter face, as if he had never appeared, smiled from ear to ear, turned the silver upside down, and then kicked it into his arms.

Yu Wenyue turned Chu Qiao's body around, leaned forward, and took the ends of the necklace in both hands for Chu Qiao. At this time, Chu Qiao, who seemed to be being held in his arms, had crimson cheeks, and only heard Yu Wenyue say softly: "Xing'er, Xingyue is one, if I am not by your side, then let it accompany you for me first." ”

Chu Qiao nodded lightly in his arms, Yu Wenyue let go of Chu Qiao, and Chu Qiao picked up the pendant and looked at it at this time, smiling happily.

When night fell, the town under the night sky seemed extraordinarily quiet, on the street path with few lights, Chu Qiao and Yu Wenyue's figures shuttled, and suddenly the lights on the street in front of them were obviously dense, which made it look very different here.

The two of them were close to the courtyard wall, looking for an opportunity to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard, and accidentally found that not far from the side door, there were glove boxes stacked on the side of the wall, Chu Qiao signaled to Yu Wenyue, the two jumped up lightly, and jumped into the courtyard wall with the help of the box next to the wall, but when the two went in, they found that there was a pool under their feet, and the two hurriedly carried up their internal strength, lightly touched the water surface, and flew across the shore, only to hear the sound of neat footsteps not far away, Yu Wenyue hurriedly found a corner, and hid in Chu Qiao.

At this time, the two people in the corner were close to each other, and a little more space seemed spacious. Chu Qiao only felt the sound of shallow breathing and warm breath behind his ears, and his face suddenly became hot. The two of them only listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and they both lowered their breath to the lowest and slowest speed, and gradually the footsteps outside became farther and farther, and Chu Qiao and Yu Wenyue slowly walked out.

Fly away in the direction the patrol guard had just come. The two searched the vast mine premises, dodging four waves of patrolling guards before they managed to find the place where the prisoners were being held.

I saw that this was an outer wall made of rocks, and the hollow was blocked with a black iron rod, which could only be used for a child's head to stick out, and there were two guards standing outside the iron gate, in order to find out the enemy's situation, Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao had to find a place in the mine that was not easy to be found and took turns to rest.

After guarding for a day and a night, the two found that the guards on guard were changing shifts every other hour, but when they changed shifts every four hours, among the people who came to take over, there would be a guard who was dressed differently from others, and that person should be at the commander level, because as long as he came to change shifts, the guards who stood guard before would be particularly vigilant and find out the number of roads, Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao took advantage of the cover of night to withdraw from the mine. The next morning, I returned to the inn from the street.

The shopkeeper Fugui, who had just woken up, saw that the distinguished guests from the previous two days had returned, and hurriedly greeted him, preparing breakfast and bathing water. Yue Qi, who was anxiously waiting in the room, heard that Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao were back, and hurriedly opened the room and walked downstairs.

When I got downstairs, I saw the two of them sitting at the table, eating porridge and side dishes, he just came to the two of them and sat down, Fugui was bringing up the hot head, Fugui saw that there was another one, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen again, and walked over with a bowl of porridge.

"The three of them are slow, the kitchen is boiling water, and when the guests are finished eating, and the water is almost boiled, they will be sent upstairs to the guests." Fugui bowed down and said.

"Mention the water to the third and fourth of the Son of Heaven." Yu Wenyue said lightly.

"Okay, the little one is here." After saying that, Fugui turned around and left.

The three of them chewed and ate breakfast slowly, and the people on the street gradually increased, and after a while, there were more and more people in the lobby of the inn, and Yu Wenyue and the others also got up to pay and walked to the upstairs guest room.

After the two went upstairs, they entered room No. 3 and room No. 4 respectively, while Yueqi stood guard outside the door. After the two of them finished cleaning up, they called Xiao Er to clean up the room briefly, and the three of them sat in the fourth room of the Son of Heaven to discuss.

Yue Qi spoke first: "Judging from the news I heard in the past two days, on the fifteenth day of each month, the mining premises of Yinhua Town will send prisoners to the Yinshuifeng Mine once, and the number of prisoners is based on the number of prisoners held in a mine. We also heard that this time outside the Yinshuifeng mine, there was also a small army of Great Wei, and I heard that it was here to transport forged military weapons, and the leader of the escort was Commander Xue of the Xiaocai Battalion. ”

Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Xue Zhileng? He didn't stay in the imperial capital to escort weapons? ”

Yu Wenyue thought about the rescue plan this time, and said lightly: "This time we are different from the past, we want people and mines, so we must ensure that nothing goes wrong." Now the first thing is to understand the situation in the mine, so it is imperative that Chu Qiao and I find a way to sneak into the prisoners first, and find out the situation inside by entering Yinshui Peak with them, and then Yue Qi will lead Qinghai Wei and Yue Wei outside, and come to meet inside. I think Xue Zhileng didn't dare to stay in Yinhua Peak for too long, the war in Northern Wei in Yanbei continued, and the front line needed to be replenished, so he was sent this time, maybe because this batch of materials was more important. ”

"Do you have smoke?" Chu Qiao asked.

"There are five steps to get drunk," Yu Wenyue thought for a while and replied.

"Then why don't you find a way to replace the two of you and put us in?" Chu Qiao looked at Yu Wenyue and said.
