Chapter 43: The Silver Water Mine (5)
Life in the mine is very fixed, in the afternoon the men continue to work in the mine, and the women continue to wash vegetables and cook, and take care of the caves. After dinner, Yu Wenyue walked to a torch that was about to be extinguished and took it down, took it to the cave where the ingredients were stored, changed some materials to support combustion, and dripped two or three drops of the materials to get drunk, and then walked out of the storage hole, walked to the burning torch, lit the torch in his hand, put it back in its place, and then walked to Meng Feng and the others.
Chu Qiao watched Yu Wenyue get ready, and then took the antidote pill given by Yu Wenyue, and ate it, Meng Feng also took the pill and ate it, and the three of them quietly waited for the opportunity.
After everyone fell asleep due to the five-step drunkenness, Chu Qiao and Yu Wenyue opened their eyes and slowly got up, Meng Feng also woke up, her responsibility was to protect Mo'er and the others, so she continued to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.
The two of them were cautious, their bodies were close to the rock wall, the two of them looked at the entrance of the cave first, there were still only four guards, the two nodded to each other, and shot at the same time. Before the four guards could react and make a sound, they had already been put to the ground by Chu Qiao and Yu Wenyue.
The two of them first went to the direction of the mine, and along the mountain and forest path at night, Chu Qiao and Yu Wenyue came to the entrance of the cave where Yu Wenyue and they were mining on weekdays, and then walked to the right, and there was a flash of fire not far in front. I heard only the voice of a soldier.
"This surnamed Xue is finally gone, every day is like urging, so that the day before yesterday, I was going to go to Fengyue Courtyard in Yinhua Town with the leader of the mine to find Miss Yingxiang, but I didn't make it."
"Commander Yang, isn't this General Xue gone, the brothers are tired during this time, and the brothers haven't gone out to try it for a long time, do you want to know if the commander will also go out with his subordinates to play?"
"Chen Sanwa, you are embarrassed to say, who is the most tired these days! It's not the brothers who guard the mines, otherwise these new miners would have such peace. ”
"Yes, yes, I know that you are strong and capable, and this is not thanks to our Commander Yang, who has a good deployment."
Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao walked by the firelight and found that outside the armory, connected to the woods, two rows of blue-tiled huts were built, and there was an open space of two or three zhang from the entrance of the hut to the armory. Now the soldiers are sitting in the open field, drinking wine and eating meat, chatting and patting horses' ass. The number of people was about sixty-seven, which was about the same as Yu Wenyue's previous estimate, but the Lord Zhu who received Xue Zhileng that day and his followers were not among them. The two continued to listen to the soldiers in front of them chatting.
"This Chen Sanwa is right, it's still not Lao Tzu's deployment, do you know the identity of this batch of slaves escorted, I heard the surname Xue say that day, many of them were soldiers who failed to guard Meilin Pass, and they were exiled here." Commander Yang said with a look of pride and complacency.
"The commander is not small, so what's the matter, it's not that we have to work weirdly under the discipline of the commander. Brothers, say yes. Chen Sanwa continued to flatter the horse's ass
"Yes, it's still a great leader." Fang Dazhuang also took advantage of the trend.
"The Commander is mighty... Mighty Ruler... Command Wuwei..."The soldiers shouted in unison.
"Haha... Okay, Lao Tzu is happy today, and tomorrow I will take the little ones to Fengyue Building in Yinhua Town to charter the venue, so that the brothers can enjoy themselves. But you have to keep an eye on it, tomorrow Fang Dazhuang you go to Dr. Meng to get some sweat medicine, and let the miners have a good rest. ”
"No, the little one." Fang Dazhuang smiled on his face.
"Okay, come on, come on, brothers..."
Hearing this, Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao nodded to each other, got up and walked back, but did not go back to the slave house directly, but went towards the entrance of the mining area.
They saw that at the entrance to the mining area at this time, there were four soldiers in hand, but they were all slack, drinking wine and eating meat in the pergola.
At this time, Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao knew the current situation, so they turned around and returned to the slave house. The four people who had just fainted were brought to the wall and leaned against them, creating a picture of falling asleep after being tired due to slackness. took out a medicine bottle and shook it under the noses of the four people, and the two got up and walked into the cave quickly.
Meng Feng heard footsteps, opened his eyes, and found that it was Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao who had returned. Rest assured. Chu Qiao made a gesture to Meng Feng, meaning to pretend to be asleep, and after a while, the four soldiers at the entrance of the cave woke up and hurriedly walked towards the cave, and when they found that everything was as usual, they retreated again. Cheer up and continue to stand guard.
The days in the cave are business as usual, but what the soldiers of the mine don't know is that tonight is about to happen. Xu Chang and the others went out to mine as usual, and the women began to prepare today's meal. Mo'er took a few other children to play and practice boxing in the cave.
It looked very calm and normal, and it was like this until after dinner. Not long after dinner tonight, many people began to feel tired, thinking that they were too tired these days, so they went to bed early. At the time of a cup of tea, the originally lively cave became extremely quiet, and occasionally there was a snoring sound.
The soldiers outside the cave heard the snoring sound coming from inside the cave, so they went in to check, and when they saw that the miners were asleep, they walked out with confidence, leaving two soldiers to guard, and the other two walked away.
Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao heard the footsteps and walked away, opened their eyes and looked at each other, at this time Meng Feng felt movement around him and also opened his eyes. Menghan medicine is a piece of cake for people like them who have experienced the afterlife camp.
Yu Wenyue signaled to Chu Qiao to get Ah Cai and He Wen's daughter-in-law drunk in five steps just in case, and he and Meng Feng went to the entrance of the cave to dispose of the guards.
Chu Qiao stabbed Ah Cai and another woman with two silver needles with five steps of drunkenness, and then got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he saw Yu Wenyue explaining something to Meng Feng, and after Meng Feng bowed and saluted, he went in the direction of the entrance of the mine.
Yu Wenyue waited until Chu Qiao came over and said, "I'll ask Meng Feng to go and dispose of the soldiers guarding the entrance of the mine first." Then inform them that they have taken control of the people in the mine, and they are coming to meet us, and we will go to the armory to have a look. ”
After hearing this, Chu Qiao frowned and said, "Just Yue Qi and the two teams of Qinghai Guards?" Wouldn't there be too few people to make a big noise? ”
Yu Wenyue took Chu Qiao's hand and walked forward, explaining as she walked: "I explained to Yue Qi before, and after we leave, let him inform the master and send more people over, and now he should have arrived in Yinhua Town." ”
Chu Qiao was still not very relieved and said: "It's only seven days, which is nearly half the time less than before us." ”
Yu Wenyue looked at Chu Qiao with a smile: "That's because you don't know the strength of Qinghai Wei, you can learn more about it this time." ”
While the two were talking, they walked quickly in the direction of the armory, and when they arrived at the grove in front of the armory, they looked at the armory in front of them, and sure enough, the guards inside were almost gone, and there were only a dozen or so left to guard.
Yu Wenyue signaled to Chu Qiao, and the two rushed up together, and the soldiers led by him were still lazy and slack just now, when they saw two figures rushing over, they hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! As soon as he shouted two sentences, he was knocked to the ground by Yu Wenyue with a punch, and he screamed in pain.
Chu Qiao also rushed forward, and the five-step drunken silver needle in his hand was not missing. One by one. After a while, a dozen or so soldiers guarding the armory lay on the ground and fell asleep.
Yu Wenyue opened his mouth and said, "Let's go to the armory to have a look." ”
Chu Qiao nodded in response, and the two walked to the armory, cut the chains with the soldier's knife, and the door of the armory opened, and walked in.
The armory is full of smelting utensils, stoves, charcoal platforms, wind directions, smelting tables, water tanks... The tools were all available, and as I walked inside, there were some scrapped iron and raw ore in the corner.
The two of them came out of the armory, walked towards the two rows of huts where the soldiers lived, and walked along the huts, and found that there were ten huts with the sound of people breathing, which should be the mine forgers, and the rest were empty, and there was no one inside.
Suddenly a purple signal flare appeared in the sky, Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao looked up at the sky, Yu Wenyue smiled with a relieved smile and said, "It seems that the people sent by the master have arrived, let's go back to the entrance of the mine." ”
Chu Qiao looked at the signal flare, his nervous demeanor relaxed, nodded and followed Yu Wenyue towards the entrance of the mine.
