Chapter 228: Enchantress
It's easy to lose your sense of time when you're in a snowstorm day and night.
I stayed in the warm room all the time and didn't feel the bitter cold outside!
For three days in a row, the people sent out by the Oriental New Moon and the Fuzhuang Lord all returned in vain.
Seeing that it was the winter moon, it would delay Han Lang's accession to the throne if he could not find the jade seal of the heirloom country.
In the early morning of that day, in the wind and snow, a black carriage came out of the official office under the arch of more than 20 guards.
The carriage went all the way east, out of the East City Gate, and after entering the sandwich road, it went straight to the mountain chisel department.
After days of snowstorms, even the most industrious fur merchants were reluctant to travel. The entire northwest is vast and unusually quiet. Only thousands of people in the mountain digging department dug the mountain day and night, and watched from a distance in the wind and snow. dw
The carriage stopped at the gate of the temporary labor department.
Xu Yan stepped forward and raised his waist card, and the little official guarding the door trotted all the way to invite the trusted director of the Ministry of Works.
The director of the Ministry of Works was a fat man in his forties, who was wrapped in a thick black wool cloak and greeted him without touching his feet.
"The lower guard will participate in time to become an adult!" The principal saluted respectfully to Xu Yanbi: "Lord Lao Fu told the Third Highness that thanks to the Third Highness, the Third Highness can afford to be able to take on the important responsibility, and the lower official will never live up to the great grace of the Third Highness." Never slack off since the start of construction! β
"Hmm!" Xu Yan nodded: "It's naturally good for Lord Wei to be conscientious. Lord Ben is not here today to overseer, you can do what you have to do! This adult came here to ask the person who sent me a few days ago how you arranged it! β
"Are you talking about the dozens of people sent by Lord Li? It's a girl at the head! Wei glanced at Xu Yan in time and continued: "Master Li explained at that time, others do one job, they must do two, otherwise they won't be given food!" There are not a few of them who can't bear it and freeze to death! But that woman is quite capable of carrying it. At that time, the lower officials saw that she was also pampered, and her hands were white. The lower official felt that she would definitely not be able to do this job, and he was afraid that she would not be able to explain to the higher authorities if she begged for death. I didn't expect her to do it quietly. Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials have already explained, and they will not be let go if they are not squeezed out of their last strength. β
"Where is that woman at the moment? There are important people to meet her! Maybe I'll borrow her for a while, Lord Wei shouldn't mind! β
"Don't mind, don't mind!" Wei Shi hurriedly replied: "Everything is arranged by Lord Xu!" You inside please. The lower official will bring someone to call the woman! β
"No need!" Xu Yan waved his hand: "You can arrange someone to take us there!" β
"How can it!" Wei Shi said with a smile: "Lord Xu is here, naturally it is the lower officials who lead the way!" Lord Xu, please! β
The hewn mountain was mined according to the original sandwich road, and was widened to the north and south.
It can be seen that the non-stop work day and night has carved out a lot of space.
Wei Shi led the way and ran north.
The sound of sledgehammers and chisels came and went, and the chiseled gravel was constantly being removed.
"Over there! The woman in the cloak is! Wei Shi pointed ahead and continued: "Except for them, these people here, who have cloaks, those Chu people are all single-clothed. Single clothes also have the advantage of single clothes, that is, they have to work non-stop so that it is not too cold, and once they stop, people will be frozen. In the past few days, there are many people who want to be lazy and would rather freeze to death than work! Xia Guan is worried......"
At this moment the carriage door opened.
An old man in a colorful dress and a girl in a red dress got out of the carriage.
The place where the mountain was carved was either black or white, and everyone was numb.
Suddenly, such a bright color appeared, and everyone immediately looked at it.
Han Min, who was loading gravel into the back basket, suddenly sat on the ground full of rubble.
Aren't the two people who got down from this carriage the same people Ma Yufeng asked her to find before!
Isn't that woman the little blessing in Ma Yufeng's mouth?
Sure enough, he's a vixen!
Snow white black mountain, the woman in the red dress walked towards her with a chuckle on her face. It's just like the one painted by Ma Yufeng! Indescribable charm of the soul! No wonder Ma Yufeng will miss her, she is indeed a goblin!
"You're Ma Yufeng's fiancΓ©e!" The woman's red lips opened lightly, and she said half-mockingly, half-pitifully, "Why are you here?" Do you know that it won't be long before Ma Yufeng will be canonized as the prince! Aren't you just the crown princess? β
Enchantress!
Han Min scolded in his heart, but he didn't make a sound.
"Oops!" The woman in the red dress circled around Han Min twice: "Look at what you have become?" Look at your skin is rougher than the bark of a tree! And your hands, why are they so dark? You said that you made yourself look like this, how can you be worthy of Ma Yufeng? β
Han Min subconsciously shrank his hand into his sleeve. Although it was only a few days of hard work, she was all coolies, and on such a cold day, not to mention that she didn't work, she would have already frozen and swollen if she blew her hands outside! Can it not be dark!
But what does this witch have to say?
What did she come to her for?
Han Min couldn't help but look at the old man in colorful clothes behind him again, if he was Dongfang Shuoyue, then he would definitely not be good to her!
"You must be wondering why I came to see you!" The woman in red smiled at Han Min and said, "You are only working hard here, have you heard the news outside?" β
This point has long been stipulated by the mountain digging department, as long as you enter the mountain chisel, you will be isolated from the world, and these are all captives, or Chu people, and the news must be blocked.
"Looks like you don't know!" Han Yue smiled at Han Min and said, "Then I'll tell you!" Tongtian Mansion has been taken away by Princess Han Yue from your eldest brother and second sister! That's right! Your second brother-in-law is also dead in order to protect your second sister! Now it is still hanging high on the corpse lookout, and it is estimated that it will become bacon if it is hung up for several days. I don't know if your second sister is dead, otherwise why wouldn't she come to identify the body! β
"You talk nonsense!" Han Min couldn't help shouting anymore: You demon girl! You don't want to deceive this princess! β
"Don't get excited!" Seeing Han Min glaring at her viciously, Han Yue couldn't help but smile again: "I'm here to save you out!" It's up to you to decide if you want to! Princess Han Yue has already found out that the person who killed her mother and tricked her into the palace was Han Lu! That is, it has nothing to do with you! So she decided to let you go! β
"What are you talking about Han Yue!" Han Min noticed that this woman in red had mentioned Han Yue for the second time, and couldn't help shouting: "She died early!" You're less of a liar! β
"Believe it or not!" Han Yue smiled: "I'm just acting on orders, I can let you out at this moment!" You are also a Korean princess, how can you do such a hard job! Let's go! You're free! β
