Chapter 120: The Right Thing
Qiu Lao and a few guards, led the horse in front to lead the way, walked to the bottom of the valley on the edge of the snow-capped mountain, and the winding path went straight to the snow-capped mountain.
Zhang Jun's dragon was close behind, and as soon as he entered the edge of the Great Snow Mountain, Zhang Jun felt a hint of danger coming.
The road is no longer as smooth as when it came, it is simply bumpy and disgusting, Leng Xiang'er has deep skills and is better, Su Yun only has a heavy cultivation of Ming Wujing, but he was a little dizzy by the bumps, and gradually leaned on Zhang Jun's shoulder, which eased a little.
The three of them were on the dragon, Zhang Jun was leaned on Su Yun's shoulder, which made him very embarrassed, and he was even more distracted, and wanted to push Su Yun away, but he saw Su Yun's uncomfortable appearance, and he couldn't bear to do so.
Although Su Yun's intimate actions may not have been intentional, but Leng Xiang'er was extremely disgusted, seeing that Zhang Jun was taken down by Su Yun without any resistance, her eyes turned and she saw the giant umbrella held up by Zhang Jun, and she couldn't help but shout hooligan immediately, and turned her head away from the two of them.
Su Yun smiled inadvertently. Leng Xiang'er can't do this kind of ambiguous move, but although Su Yun is also a girl, after all, she has been married once, and her face is not so important, so she finally found someone she likes, how could she not fight for it?
The land at the bottom of the valley is full of ruins and broken walls, criss-crossing cracks, and it is not easy to take every step, but fortunately, Qiu Lao is unusually familiar with the road, so that the wheels and horses' hooves will not be deeply trapped in it.
From time to time, you can see the huge stones rolling down from the high mountains on the side of the road, although they have been cleared, but many large stones are like small mountains, weighing hundreds of tons, which is a huge force that these low-level miners can hardly bear, and they cannot move at all.
The icy air of the Great Snow Mountain, the further you go inside, the lower the temperature, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the group has not been weak in internal force cultivation, even if they wear it thickly, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand such a big cold invasion. According to Zhang Jun's feelings, there is at least a low temperature of more than minus 40 degrees.
Zhang Jun was struggling to resist the soft feeling from Su Yun, and when the defense line was about to be lost, a visceral alert sounded the alarm, and the perspective ability that was about to be cast immediately looked ahead.
At a glance, the scalp exploded, and a step in front of Qiu Lao and the guards, a huge sinkhole covered with ice and snow lay in front of their feet, as long as they took a step, they would fall into the bottomless sinkhole.
Suddenly, Zhang Jun jumped up, like a bolt of lightning, stepped out of dozens of meters in one step, and in a few steps came to the front of Qiu Lao and the guards, stretched out his hand and shot a strong wind to block their way.
Zhang Jun's actions not only frightened Leng Xiang'er and Su Yun, who were in the same car, but even Qiu Lao and the guards were also startled, not knowing what Zhang Jun was doing.
"My lord, what are you?"
Zhang Jun didn't speak, reached out and picked up a basin-sized stone from the ground, and threw it directly to the front of Qiu Lao who was standing just now.
As the stone hit the ground, there was a soft 'click', as if it had smashed a piece of glass, and it fell directly into the snow, and in the blink of an eye, a large pit with a radius of three feet appeared, and all the snow on it fell into the hole.
Qiu Lao and the others stepped forward to see that it was a bottomless sinkhole, and the snow on it was covered little by little by the wind, and there were no traces of the sinkhole at all.
Qiu Lao and the others suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if it weren't for Zhang Jun, I was afraid that I would die on the spot if I took a step, no matter how high your martial arts are, even if you are the top master of the Xuanwu Mirror, you will have to be smashed in this bottomless sinkhole.
"How can this be? It's too dangerous, there's no such big pit before!
It was Zhang Jun who saved them all at the most dangerous moment.
It's just that Qiu Lao is a little strange, he is as familiar with this road as Shujiazhen, and he doesn't know when this sinkhole was formed. And Zhang Jun is the first time to come, how did he find out? But he didn't dare to ask.
Zhang Jun came to the edge of the sinkhole, and a smoky smell rushed out of the pit, and the smell was disgusting. It's kind of like urine smells mixed with something.
The sinkhole was extremely dark and bottomless, and there was no sound of stones falling.
Zhang Jun already understood why such a large sinkhole was covered with snow because of the small amount of gas ejected from the pit. With a little residual temperature, the snow at the edge of the pit gradually melts into water and condenses with the snow to form ice, which then melts and covers again, and becomes a layer of ice over time.
"Qiu Lao, you just need to help me point out the direction, everyone else is following me, be careful, this kind of sinkhole is bottomless, even if you are a master of the Xuanwu Mirror and fall, you don't want to live!"
After Zhang Jun finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in front, and the perspective ability unfolded, and he could see it at a glance thousands of meters away, and he encountered at least dozens of sinkholes along the way, but Zhang Jun smashed the ice surface with his palm, avoiding personnel losses.
Guo Lao has never been to the mine since the earthquake, but what surprised him the most was that every time Zhang Jun broke through the ice cap of the sinkhole and led people around the sinkhole, how could Zhang Jun know where the sinkhole was?
After three hours, we finally arrived at the camp at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.
This mine camp used to be one of the mines of the Red Flame City Jewelry Company, a town-sized camp that was inhabited by at least a million miners before the earthquake collapsed, and after the collapse of the mine, most of the people went home, leaving only a few tens of thousands of people to repair the collapsed mine.
The miners and stewards in the mine, who have been basically isolated from the world for the past few months, have not gone out since they were ordered to clean up the mine road, and they don't know the earth-shaking changes outside, and when they arrived in the camp and listened to Qiu Lao's introduction, they learned that this young person turned out to be the Red Flame King, the real master of the one billion people of Red Flame City, and all the owners of the mine looked at this new master with amazement, and they all whispered about Zhang Jun's background.
After Zhang Jun arrived at the camp, he immediately sent people to recall all the miners, and these miners who cleaned the mine were not far from the camp, and they all rushed back before dark.
"Fellow mine craftsmen, I am Zhang Jun, the new owner of Red Flame City, and some of you must already know about me, and of course some of you don't know. ”
"I came here today to tell you first that all the blessing mines and jewelry stores in Chiyan Pass will belong to me Zhang Jun in the future. After the integration, the blessing mine was renamed Tianyi Mine. Tianyi Mine is under the jurisdiction of Tianyi Jewelry Company, and the person next to me is Su Yun, the first general manager of Tianyi Jewelry Company, and the first general manager of mining affairs is Qiu Lao. ”
"The second thing is to tell you that your slavery has been dissolved, and that you are free from now on. If you are willing to stay, I will continue to mine with you at double the price of the original miner's monthly salary in the future. Those who are unwilling to stay can leave the mine with a month's salary and find another way out. ”
The tens of thousands of miners left here are slaves paid for by the jewelry store in Red Flame City, and unlike the real hired miners, they used to mine here without a monthly salary. There was only a pitiful silver bounty. The tens of thousands of people here have less than 100 stewards who are hired with monthly salaries.
Zhang Jun's words exploded among tens of thousands of people in an instant, and their biggest wish in this life may be to get rid of this slave status, but if they want to buy back the deed of sale, they need a spar that they can't afford, so they can only desperately mine to try to redeem themselves as soon as possible.
It is very dangerous for others to clean up the mine that may collapse at any time, but they would rather be stoned to death than stay, just to redeem themselves as soon as possible.
But they never imagined that the day of redemption would come so soon. It's like a dream.
"You....... Are you telling the truth?"
"You really don't need us to hand over the hedron for ransom?"
"Is this possible? The cost of ransom for tens of thousands of people is a lot of money. I don't believe it. ”
..........
"Fellow workers, not only has your slave status been banned, but there will be no more slaves in even the entire Red Flame City, the Red Flame King has ransomed more than 100 million slaves in the city, and has also issued laws prohibiting the slave trade. You're really free, and the boxes here contain your deeds of sale, and they'll all be returned to you. You stewards go and send it to you!" Qiu Lao pointed to the box behind him and stepped forward to explain.
At the beginning, no one dared to believe that this was true, and only after being named by a hundred stewards did they dare to come forward to take a look, but when they saw that it was really their own deed of sale, some people were so excited that they immediately fainted, and more people rushed up, and the chaotic situation lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
"Those who are willing to stay and continue mining stand on the left side to receive two months' monthly salary first, and those who are not willing to continue mining will receive a month's monthly salary, and they can go home tomorrow. ”
"Willing to ......"
"Willing to ......"
.........
Tens of thousands of miners, most of whom chose to stay and continue mining because they were grateful to Zhang Jun, and less than 2,000 wanted to go home to see.
"No matter where you go, the good wine and meat I prepared today, we will drink happily, and we will not return home if we are not drunk. ”
"I didn't expect to be able to regain my free body in this life, thanks to the Red Flame King for giving us the opportunity to live, we kowtowed to the Red Flame King. Long live the Red Flame King, long live, long live......."
I don't know who took the lead in shouting the slogan, and immediately got tens of thousands of responses, this kind of cry is sincere, it is from the heart, many people are kneeling on the ground with tears, kowtowing fiercely, even if the head is broken and the blood flow never stops. The hard and cold rocks can't stop the fiery hearts, and Zhang Jun is the god in their hearts, the only god.
Zhang Jun was instantly moved by this sincerity, and for the first time felt that coming to the Colorful Realm and abolishing the slavery system was the most correct thing to do.
