Chapter 43: Zhou Kang
After the plan was decided, Yi Ming asked, "City Lord, I don't know what you did with my teacher?" β
"I just asked someone to take them out of the mine, and I didn't hurt them as you told me. Young Lord, do you want to see them? β
Yi Ming shook his head and said, "No, I'm just worried that they will break into the mining area in order to save me after they go back, and then it will be troublesome." β
"What's the trouble with this? Young master, you underestimate me, a happy city lord.
In fact, Lei Wuze, I knew their task when they didn't get to Letong. After they arrived at Letong, they were always under my surveillance, and they thought they were secretive, but they were already exposed under my nose.
If they dare to come, just pack up like last time, it's not a big deal. Sima Xin said with some disdain.
Yi Ming smiled, "City Lord, they are my division commander after all, unless they turn against each other, I still don't want to hurt them." They helped me a lot during this time, and I didn't want to be an ungrateful person. β
"That's also very simple, just grab them and let them join the Shanhai Society, when everything is put on the bright side, explain this matter and even if it is over."
"It's a good idea, but it's not easy to convince them. Forget it, maybe the teacher won't come at all, so I'm not making a fool of myself? Yi Ming said with a wry smile.
Sima Xin nodded and said, "That's right, young master, you said in front of them that you would give me that inheritance soldier, which means that you are of little value to Lei Wuze and them, and there is a great chance that they will not come to save you."
Another reason why I like to stay in the mines is that the people here are much more simple. Although they are poor, they are united and can trust each other, which is a rare phenomenon in the city.
In the city, even the members of a family kill each other. In this world, moral etiquette is one of the last things you need. β
Yi Ming has only been in this world for two months, and he hasn't seen much of the dark side here, so he can't comment on it, just smiled.
"City Lord, in two days I want to go to the mine myself and tell my friends about our plans."
"There's no need for the young master to go in person, just send someone to arrange it here, and give them some funds, and the initial plan will be completed soon."
Yi Ming shook his head and said, "No, City Lord, although this is convenient, my friends don't necessarily believe it. It's better if I do it. It's just that you also need to say hello to the people in the mining area in advance, so that the water won't wash away the Dragon King Temple. β
"Since the young master has decided, then I will just say it to the people below, they will fully cooperate with your work, and the young master can rest assured and bold!"
"Then it's going to trouble the city lord!" Yi Ming thanked.
Then the two chatted for a while, Sima Xin left early because he had to deal with official business, and Yi Ming also returned to the room after wandering around and began to practice.
On the other hand, Lei Lao and others, who had returned to Letong City, had a disagreement on the matter of rescuing Yi Ming. Originally, it only took Lei Lao's words to decide, but after being learned by the vice president of the Letong Hunter Association, the vice president had always disagreed with Lei Lao and them to save people.
At the same time, Li Yan, the patriarch of the Li family who received the news and rushed to the Hunters Association, also did not agree to rescue Yi Ming, and his attitude made Li Qiushu a little dissatisfied, but Li Qiushu did not dare to show it.
Under the persuasion of these two people, Lei Lao hesitated, first, he had not had time to cultivate feelings for Yi Ming, a disciple, although he was captured alive by Sima Xin in order to save himself and others, which made him feel a little guilty, but he couldn't say how sad he was.
The second is that the valuable things on Yi Ming's body are also the Shadow Fire and the Heavenly Shadow Fire Dance, since he has already saved people at the cost of this, then it must have been in Sima Xin's hands, and the chance of being able to take it back is too low, it is not worth taking the risk himself.
After weighing it again and again, Lei Lao finally decided not to rescue Yi Ming, and the mission was declared a failure, and he returned to Longyang City after two days of repairs.
Lei Lao's decision made Mark and Li Qiushu quite disappointed, after all, Yi Ming also had feelings for them, but if they wanted to break into the mining area alone, it was no different from sending them to death, and they could only reluctantly accept this result.
Li Qiushu was depressed and returned to Li's house with Li Yan, and he was about to go back to his room to rest when Li Yan called him to his study.
"Qiu Shu, I see that you care a lot about that kid named Yi Ming?" Li Yan asked.
Li Qiushu nodded and said, "It's okay, after all, I have been a teacher and student with him for a month, and I like his naΓ―ve personality very much, which is rare among adults." β
"I can tell you one thing, your little junior brother will be fine, he will only be better in the mining area than following Lao Lei."
"Why?" Li Qiushu asked suspiciously.
"Before you know it, I don't think it'll be long before he can do something big in the mines."
"Father, how do you know what Yi Ming will do?"
Li Yan shook his head and said, "You don't care about this matter for the time being, you will naturally know about it when the news of the mining area comes out." I'm telling you this just in the hope that you don't take the risk of breaking into the mining area for such a person who has only known him for more than a month! β
Although Li Qiushu was very curious, he believed what Li Yan said, so that he could rest assured and take Li Qiuyu to Longyang with peace of mind. "I understand Father! How is Qiu Yu's preparations? β
"You go and ask her yourself, I can't help this girl. She said that she would listen to my arrangement, but she was still against me everywhere, you go and persuade her well, otherwise it will not work like this.
How can she, a supporting genius, think about being the main attacker all day long! This is obviously the bull's head is not the horse's mouth, I really don't understand what this girl thinks. "As soon as Li Qiuyu and Li Yan were mentioned, they felt a headache.
"Father, don't worry, Qiu Yu is just young and doesn't understand these things, so when she grows up, she naturally doesn't have to worry about her."
Li Yan rubbed his forehead, and then he received an email from Sima Xin, so he asked Li Qiushu to go to Li Qiuyu. He opened the email and saw that it was indeed a plan for the reform of the mining area, and when he saw that Sima Xin had specially explained that this was Yi Ming's masterpiece at the end, he couldn't believe his eyes.
How could an eighteen-year-old kid who had never seen the world make such a perfect plan, Sima Xin must be the main planner. As he thought about it, he began to think about how to carry out his work in the city.
In fact, this Li Yan was the person in charge of the previous Shanhai Club Letong, and Sima Xin was pulled into the club by him, so the relationship between the two is actually very good, but they don't have much contact on the surface.
Two days later, when Lei Lao and the others set off to return to Longyang, Yi Ming also put on makeup and came to the mining area.
Because Sima Xin had already greeted him, he easily blended into the crowd that was rushing to the mine.
He followed what the former Yi Ming told him, first going to the overseer to get the mining armor, and then going to the assigned mining point. The person who issued him mining armor was the first person he saw when he came to this world, Cao Ping. Cao Ping's hands were shaking when he gave him armor control authority, obviously because he was afraid that Yi Ming would settle accounts after the autumn.
However, Yi Ming didn't care about this, and walked straight to the mining point. By the time he found the mining site assigned to Qian Yiming, there were already people working here.
Hearing the movement of someone coming, the person who was working stopped what he was doing, and when he looked back, he was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Yi Ming to appear here.
"Brother Kang, you didn't miss me during the time I left!" Yi Ming made a little joke with him.
This person is the closest comrade-in-arms of the former Yi Ming, Zhou Kang, he is only twenty-two years old this year, but he looks very old.
"How did you get back? It can't be that we were caught by the boss, so aren't we hopeless? Zhou Kang's eyes slowly dimmed from the excitement he saw Yi Ming at the beginning.
Yi Ming shook his head, "I wasn't arrested, I came back quietly this time, I've already found some helpers, helping everyone get free is just around the corner!" β
Zhou Kang grabbed Yi Ming's hand excitedly, "Really? How can I cooperate with you? β
"Brother Kang, don't get excited, this matter is in a hurry. We were very closed in the mine, and we used to dare to launch an escape plan rashly because we didn't know the strength of the boss.
I didn't realize until I went out how terrible the boss was, and that he wanted to kill us like trampling a swarm of ants. So we have to take our time.
I'm here to help you do some work, and strive to liberate everyone as soon as possible! β
Although Zhou Kang was very happy in his heart when he heard this, he still sighed and said, "Hey, Xiao Ming, after you left, many of your companions have lost confidence in this matter, and now not many people are willing to associate with us."
Moreover," Zhou Kang choked up when he said this, "and thirty old people, including Master Sun, were starved to death by them!" Xiao Zhang, Monkey, and Stone, fifty-four of them were also exhausted and died in the mine!
We're struggling right now. If it weren't for the crystals you left me before you left, it would have been difficult for the remaining forty or so of us to survive. β
Hearing this, Yi Ming was struck by lightning, and he also knew that the people Zhou Kang was talking about, Master Sun was an old man who was locked in the cell opposite him at the beginning, and Xiao Zhang and the others were the people who had the best relationship with the former Yi Ming except Zhou Kang.
Although he hadn't really come into contact with these people, he knew from Yi Ming's description in the past that these were warriors who dared to sacrifice in order to let everyone get free, and it was this kind of person that he admired the most in his life.
Now hearing the news of their deaths, Yi Ming didn't know what to do for a while, originally his plan was that this group of people would be the new force of reform, but now it was obvious that he could no longer follow the previous steps.
If there are still about 40 or so of the former companions, the plan will be much slower. Although he was confident that he could develop more companions, his heart suddenly became heavy when he heard the bad news.
Yi Ming deliberately changed the topic and said, "Brother Kang, I think your work time seems to be getting late today, what's going on?" β
Zhou Kang also saw Yi Ming's thoughts, and he didn't want to mention these sad things, "I don't know very well." About a week ago, a lot of workers suddenly appeared in the mining area to help us repair the leaky houses and simply harden the roads.
At the same time, the supervisor also told us that the work time has been shortened by three hours, and although the task is still heavy, it is also a lot easier. At least we now have time to get together and review what you've told us. β
Zhou Kang seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he asked, "What?" Didn't you do this? So how could the boss suddenly have a kind heart? β
Yi Ming shook his head and said, "This matter may have something to do with me, but I only persuaded them to help at that time, so I don't know these details very well." β
Zhou Kang clapped his hands when he heard this, and said, "If it really has something to do with you, it would be great!" As long as you can prove that the events of the previous few days are related to you, then your authority can be established again! Our work will go much smoother in the future. β
Yi Ming only thought of this method after hearing this, it seems that Zhou Kang can become the closest partner of the former Yi Ming, not just because the two have the best personal relationship.
Next, Yi Ming and Zhou Kang mined and told him the follow-up arrangements. Although it was only a small part of the plan, Zhou Kang was also very surprised, he couldn't believe that Yi Ming could pull a powerful helper who dared to directly confront the boss in just two months.
If Zhou Kang knew the truth, he would definitely drop his jaw, he would never have thought that the young man who was mining with him next to him would become one of the most powerful people in the world.
