The Queen Mother is gone!

The news was said by Host Suiyun in a hurry, and this was also the first time that Lin Mumu had seen Host Suiyun, who was over half a hundred years old, with a panicked and frightened look on his kind face.

"Master Suiyun, what the hell is going on, how could the good Queen Mother disappear?" The anxious look on Mama Liao's face could not be hidden.

Host Suiyun furrowed his brows. "At that time, the old man and the queen mother were practicing by the stream, but they heard a movement in the forest, like the sound of a young beast being injured, so he got up and went to check, but when he came back, there was no trace of the queen mother."

It is not the first time that the Queen Mother has gone to the mountains to practice, and every year she is accompanied by the host of Suiyun, so the host of Suiyun also has a certain understanding of the Queen Mother, knowing that unless something big happens, her practice will not be broken.

"You take a team of men and horses to search for it upstream along the stream, a few of you take people downstream, and your soldiers go to the forest to look for it in four ways, and you will come to report any movement in time." The face of the horse leader is extremely difficult to see, if the queen mother has any mistakes, none of them will think about it!

"Yes."

"The old man will go back and arrange for someone to look for him in the mountains."

"There's Master Lao."

Mama Liao responded absentmindedly and also took the palace maids to the mountains to look for them, but they were powerless, and the leader of the horse was afraid that they would have any more accidents, so he only let them follow the guards all the way to find someone.

Because he was worried that the Queen Mother would be injured, Lin Mumu was asked to return to the temple to wait, so as not to find the Queen Mother when the time came, but Lin Mumu could not be found.

In an instant, the people gathered together dispersed, and the leader of the horse also went to the deep mountains, leaving only Lin Mumu, who was asked to go down the mountain.

Lin Mumu did not immediately go down the mountain, but went to the place where the horse leader found Huang Ying's body last night.

According to the leader of the horses, Huang Ying's body was found in a shallow pit not far from here.

Lin Mumu walked all the way over, and sure enough, he found a lot of dried blood on the ground.

Lin Mumu squatted down and looked, and when she was about to stand up, she suddenly found a black shadow quickly flashing in front of her eyes, she was squatting in the grass just now, and the other party didn't notice her.

Lin Mumu pursed her lips, thought about it and chased after her.

The other party's speed is not fast, and he seems to be paying careful attention to the situation around him.

Lin Mumu hid under a big tree when the other party stopped and looked at the person, the other party was a man, wearing a dirty-looking coarse cloth coat, looking like an ordinary person.

After the man looked vigilantly at the sight of no one around, he suddenly walked to a grave bag and squatted down, took out a stack of yellow paper from his body, and lit it with a fire fold.

"Dazhu, Da Neng, Xianghe, you all go on the road well, I will definitely bring back the silver money you saved to your family......"

Because there was a distance apart, Lin Mumu quietly approached while the other party was not paying attention.

"You, don't blame me, I, I can't help it, I, my wife is still waiting for me to go back, I can't die......" The man said and his voice trembled and choked up.

Judging by the man's reaction, the slightly bulging dirt bag in front of him should be a grave bag.

The man burned the yellow paper in his hand and wiped the tears from his face before standing up. "The mountain is about to be dug up, and I will be able to go back soon, and when the time comes, I will see if I can bring you back too......," he said, and after bowing three times to the grave, he was wary again

After looking around and making sure that there was no one, he continued to walk towards the mountains.

Although she didn't know much about the terrain here, she learned from a little monk in the past two days that because the Thousand Buddha Mountains are relatively high, except for some scattered villages at the foot of the mountain, there will be no people in the mountains at all, and it is also because there are many beasts in the mountains, and it will be very dangerous to live in the mountains.

It was very suspicious that this man did not go down the mountain after finishing his errand, but went into the deep mountain, so Lin Mumu quickly followed.

The mountain road was not easy to walk, and the man walked for about half an hour without any intention of stopping, and the more he walked inside, the dimmer the light around him became.

Just when Lin Mumu was wondering where he was going, the man suddenly ran down a dirt slope.

She was afraid that she would lose someone, so she followed.

The dirt slope looked very high, but it was not steep, and she thought that it was surrounded by weeds, but after walking for a while, she realized that the dirt slope had been walked several ways.

After descending the dirt slope, the man in front suddenly stopped, and came to a rift, and from a distance, he could see several people guarding the rift.

When the man walked over, he didn't know what he said to the men, and they let him into the rift.

The gap under the rift was not wide, and it looked like it could only accommodate a carriage to pass through.

"What the hell is going on behind there......" her gut told her that there was definitely something wrong behind the rift.

Lin Mumu found a hidden place and said in a certain direction: "You guys come out and come out." ”

There was a moment of silence in the air.

The guards hidden in the shadows glanced at each other, what do you mean by calling them?

But the prince said that in the case that Lin Mumu is not in danger, it is best for them not to show up.

"Just say you, don't pretend to be dead for me, you came to my house in the middle of the night last night, and you don't dare to show your face now?"

Dark Guard "......"

Suddenly, several secret guards appeared in front of Lin Mumu, they were dressed in light green suits, and only a pair of eyes were revealed when they were holding their heads and faces.

"All the people are here?"

"What do you command, Lord Lin?" Darkguard stepped forward and asked.

Lin Mumu pointed in the direction where the man disappeared just now. "Did you see it all just now?"

The Dark Guard nodded.

"Then I also saw the people guarding outside, a few of you will find a way to solve them all, but you can't let the people on that side find out the clues, understand?"

"Lord Lin wants to go in?"

Lin Mumu nodded. "It's so mysterious, there must be something strange in it, I'll go in and find out, there are just five people guarding over there, you guys are just right."

The secret guards were a little embarrassed, but their duty was to be responsible for Lin Mumu's personal safety.

"Lord Lin, I don't know what danger there is inside, if it's ......"

"I'll be careful, that's it."

Dark Guard Armor glanced at Dark Guard B, what are you looking at, you are dumb and can't speak, what is wrong with the person really going, can you explain it to the prince?!

Dark Weiyi was stared at very innocently, what trick can I have, people must go in, and you can still knock out and carry it back?!

Dark Guard "......"

"It's already dark, just act, hurry."

Dark Guard. "Okay."

Darkguard secretly despises it, and it really has no principles at all.

A few people quietly dived towards the rift.

Maybe there weren't many people from this rift, and the people guarding outside the rift weren't very vigilant, and they didn't come back to their senses until they were killed by a few secret guards.

Lin Mumu asked them to change the clothes of several people.

"If I can't get out before dawn, no, if I don't come out before dawn, you can go in."

"Lord Lin must be careful."

"Don't worry, I know it."

Fortunately, Lin Mumu was wearing a dark robe today, and she didn't bother when she walked at night, she took out a handkerchief from her body to cover her mouth and nose and entered the rift.

It was getting late, but the moon was not coming out, and the light was at its worst.

Behind the rift is a large clearing, in which many wheel marks can be seen.

Lin Mumu squatted down to check which imprints, those cars should have pulled some heavy objects before, otherwise the imprints on the ground would not be so deep.

Lin Mumu kept walking into the depths of the forest, and after walking for a while, he came to a forest.

The trees in the forest are not very tall, the interval between the trees is very short, and there are many marks on the ground that have been crushed by wheels.

All the way out of the forest, Lin Mumu's nose suddenly smelled of rust.

The further she went, the stronger the smell became.

When Lin Zi came to the end, when she wanted to go again, there was a big pit in front of her.

Lin Mumu quickly stopped and looked at the crowd in the faint moonlight in astonishment.

That's right, it's the crowd, although it's far away, but Lin Mumu can clearly feel that those people's bodies are very dirty, they came out of the caves one by one, at this time, Lin Mumu would be really stupid if he didn't know what the hell this place was.

The area in front of me is a mine, and the smell coming from the mine can be guessed that it should be iron ore inside!

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, iron ore belongs to the state, but anyone who dares to mine it privately will be beheaded if it is discovered!

The "Geographical Chronicle" records the mining place of iron ore in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but there is no such place!

If someone from the court was doing it here, it wouldn't be so sneaky at all.

Could it be that Huang Ying was killed after discovering this iron mine?

Before Lin Mumu could figure it out, she saw someone in the iron mine, a person dressed incompatible with the mine workers, walking over.

In order to hear what the man was going to say, Lin Mumu pulled the cloth towel on his face, grabbed a handful of ash on the ground, and smeared it on his face, and slowly sneaked behind those people, because it was already dark, and it was relatively dark around, and there were only a few torches scattered for lighting.

"Everybody's worked hard." The brightly dressed man looked at the crowd and shouted.

"Master, will we be able to get paid to go back after we finish digging this month?"

"You don't have to wait until the end of the month, didn't people leave one after another some time ago? I'm here today to tell you about this, and we'll let you go in batches from oldest to smallest, in order of age. ”

"Is this true?"

"It's great that I've been here for so long and I can finally go home."

The man in silk looked at everyone's happy looks, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. "Of course it's true, will I still lie to you, now I will stand up for the name of the one, and I will send someone to send you out of the mountain tonight." As he spoke, the man in the silk shirt took out a list and began to read it.
