Chapter 394: Wu Geng
Inside the Beishan mine, there are mine caves extending in all directions, and Bai He walked in the main passage with Nezha, while behind him were the warriors accompanying the guards.
The dimly lit cavern was cold and damp, and a faint stench permeated the cavern.
This place is originally in the underground without sunlight, and the lack of sunlight makes the bacteria here grow much faster than on the ground, and most of the people in the mine are slaves, working every day, and sweating is the norm.
However, it was located in the middle of a vast mountain, and there was not enough water to wash their bodies every day, so the mine could only ensure that the slaves were bathed once in a while to prevent them from contracting serious diseases.
But most of the time there was no water, the slaves could only wear clothes that were soaked with sweat every day, and in the dark and damp environment of the Beishan Mine, they wore this kind of clothes all the time, and it was no wonder that there was no smell!
It may not be obvious for a slave to smell sweat, but when hundreds or thousands of slaves gather together, the smell of sweat is very obvious.
But neither Nezha nor the accompanying samurai were obviously accustomed to the environment of the mine, so they did not show the slightest discomfort.
"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang......"
The sound of iron pickaxes striking the rock formations echoed in the mines, and in the light of the torches inserted in the walls of the caves on both sides, you could see that in the dimly lit mines, a slave was carrying a basket on his back, walking with heavy steps past the side of the White River, and on both sides of the wide main passage were the samurai and slave management slaves who guarded the mines, the slave centurions and the thousands.
Because the number of samurai in the mine is far less than the number of slaves, it is already difficult for the samurai to guard the slaves and guard the mines, and it is impossible to manage all the slaves.
However, the problem of slave management could not be avoided, so Li Jing's last solution was to select the well-behaved slaves from among the slaves as high-level slaves and give them the power to manage slaves.
According to the number of slaves managed by these high slaves, they were given the titles of centurion and millurion respectively, and became the high slaves of centurions and millurions, although they still needed to mine ore, but in some other conditions, they were far more than ordinary slaves.
These high slaves will have a fixed amount of ore to be paid every month, if it is lower than this amount, these high slaves will be punished, but if it is higher than these limits, these high slaves can receive different rewards according to the amount of ore above the limit, whether it is water, food, silver, or even ..... women!
Because the status of a slave is destined to be inextricable, but if he can perform well and pay more ore, he can live a life far beyond that of other slaves, and even marry a wife and have children here, so in order to live a better life, these high-ranking slaves are more cruel than those samurai.
After all, the samurai could not profit from these slaves, and beating them did not benefit them, but would condemn them with their conscience, but these high slaves were different.
Their willingness to become high slaves has already abandoned their conscience, and in order to get more benefits, they beat and scold their slaves, which is already a habit for these high slaves.
In the dim mine, seeing Bai He and Nezha, to be precise, Nezha coming, a bald high-ranking slave who was originally scolding his slaves suddenly had a flattering smile on his face, and quickly came to Nezha's face.
"Young Master Nezha, why are you here?"
In the Beishan Mine, if Li Jing is the master of the mine, then Nezha can be said to be the absolute prince.
Although Li Jing is the most powerful person here, Li Jing's management of the mine is more of a macro management, and Li Jing has never interfered much in the operation of the mine in terms of details, but Nezha is different.
Nezha is Li Jing's most beloved son, and as long as some of Nezha's requirements are not too excessive, Li Jing has always been responsive, so for some things, finding a way to please Nezha is far more effective than flattering Li Jing in front of him.
"Huh?!"
The words of the bald slave suddenly sounded in his ears, which made Nezha, who was thinking about the problem and was distracted, suddenly startled, and the whole person was startled.
"Which guy who doesn't have long eyes dares to scare me?!"
The bad character that he had cultivated for a long time made Nezha subconsciously prepare to get angry, but as soon as he turned his head, the corner of Nezha's eyes suddenly noticed the white river beside him, and the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated invisibly.
Yesterday, Bai He's punishment of him Nezha is still fresh in his memory, Bai He said let him stop bullying slaves, this is not difficult for him, it used to be because he was bored, but now he has a game console, he doesn't have enough time to play games, and where would he want to bully slaves.
But although you can't be angry with people, it is a little difficult for Nezha to be well-behaved and polite, after all, it is still very difficult to change your long-standing personality all at once.
"Who are you? Is there anything looking for me? ”
Looking at the bald high-level slave in front of him, Nezha frowned.
"Young Master Nezha, have you forgotten? I'm Lao Cai! The bow and arrow you used to play the hunting game was originally made by me for you, didn't you promise to help me say a few kind words in front of Lord Li Jing and make me a commander of a thousand commanders? I just came to ask the young master about this matter again. ”
Looking at the chubby Nezha in front of him, Lao Cai rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly.
"Oh!"
Hearing Lao Cai's words, Nezha immediately remembered, but that's all, every day he came to the mine to play, and he didn't know how many high-ranking slaves he had, and he had long forgotten about Lao Cai's affairs.
"I told my dad about this, but my dad said that there are too many centurions who want to be a thousand-tier, and you must have outstanding contributions, although your conditions are enough, but the conditions of others are not bad, you still need to work hard."
Nezha shook his head with a pretended sigh.
Hearing Nezha's transformation, Lao Cai was a little disappointed, but he still cheered up and said loudly: "I will definitely work hard to improve minerals, and I will not disappoint Lord Li Jing." ”
“…….”
Looking at the excited Lao Cai, the corners of Bai He's mouth twitched a few times, and he seemed to remember who this guy was. UU read the book om
Isn't this Cai, the centurion who is responsible for managing the protagonist Wu Geng's group, a centurion who has been brainwashed by Li Jing's high slave policy, is willing to become a slave and live in the mine for a lifetime, and was finally killed by Wu Geng because he found Wu Geng's passage to escape from the Beishan mine, which is an important character who promotes the plot.
"Hey, who is this adult?"
The disappointed Lao Cai took his eyes off Nezha's body, only to find Bai He on the side, seeing that Bai He was actually standing with Nezha, and his temperament and clothes were obviously not ordinary people, it must not be Nezha's guard, is he a big man again? Under the careful thought in his heart, Lao Cai asked deliberately.
"This is my teacher!"
Nezha said.
"My surname is Bai....you can just call me Mr. Bai."
Bai He said slowly.
"Mr. Bai?"
Hearing Bai He's words, Lao Cai's heart moved, could it be that this is the teacher that Master Li Jing found for Young Master Nezha?
No wonder today, Young Master Nezha is unusual, not only did he not even hold a bow and arrows in his hand, but he also didn't even find a slave to ride a big horse, he dared to be subdued by this adult!
"It turned out to be Mr. Bai, Lao Cai visited Mr. Bai!"
Looking at Bai He, Lao Cai scratched his head pretending to be honest, but Bai He didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.
"Are you okay? It's okay, let's go first. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm tired of the adults, hehe."
Lao Cai hurriedly scratched his head and laughed
"Well, Nezha, let's go"
Nodding, Bai He was about to continue to move forward with Nezha to the depths of the mine, but suddenly a young man wearing an eye patch came out of the mine on the side, which immediately attracted Bai He's attention.
"This is ..... Wu Geng?!"
