Chapter 127: Sword Mountain and Sword Tree
The night clouds are ethereal, a few strange sounds are heard from time to time in the mountains, and the wind howling in the cold winter makes the entire Shuiqing Mountain Range seem to be shrouded in hell, on the main road leading to the mine, there is a simple bamboo house, several wrestlers are lying on the bed and sleeping, listening to the movement outside can't help but tighten the quilt.
"Hey, hey! It's a shift change~" A shift wrestler walked into the bamboo house and patted his companion who was sleeping on the bed.
"Let me sleep a little longer, you leave you~" The wrestler who was woken up moved, responded vaguely with a few words, and then fell asleep again.
"Look for death, you! Have you forgotten the miserable appearance of Da Zhuang a few days ago? If you run away and lose people, you won't be able to eat and walk around! The shift wrestler kicked on the bamboo bed, picking up several other wrestlers and woke up.
"What's going on?" Everyone scolded.
"It's okay, it's okay~ I'll get up and be on duty!" The sleepy wrestler immediately got up and complained a few words, got dressed and went out, "On this cold day, who is okay to go up the mountain in the middle of the night~"
In a small forest on the mountainside, Xu Jiangyuan and the three of them were slowly moving forward with their bodies lowered.
Liufeng wanted to ask Xu Jiangyuan some questions, but he couldn't speak when he remembered his warning, and followed behind him depressedly, and it didn't take long for the three of them to come to the pre-planned place, where the copper bells and red threads cut during the day loomed in the moonlight.
"Aba~Aba~" Xu Jiangyuan pointed at Lukaka's calf.
"Okay~ Uncle Mask, I'll open the way in front, you two follow carefully!" After saying that, Rukaka pulled out a ball of cotton wool and stuffed it into the first brass bell at the opening of the thorn bush, and then drilled in, quickly cutting through the thorns and opening a path with the scissors he made.
Xu Jiangyuan wanted to follow closely and was pulled by the flowing wind, and after watching Lukaka walk away, he slowly spoke, "Brother Xu~ You are also in the matter of the prince of Chalu?" ”
"Hmm~" Xu Jiangyuan visually measured Lukaka's location, "We came here during the day, and we saw you kid running away in disgrace!" ”
"There are hidden arrow traps all the way, and I was hit by an arrow in the arm~" Liufeng said and twisted his wrist.
"You're all following me tonight, don't ask too much yet!" Xu Jiangyuan saw that Rukaka was about to disappear, and hurriedly followed.
"Hey~ Brother Xu..."Liufeng patted his knee and followed helplessly.
After two hours of exploration, the trap traps along the way were completely dismantled by Lukaka, and from time to time a few iron weapons were put into the bag, and after uncovering a branch and leaf barrier, a firelight shot out from the front, stimulating the eyes of the three people.
"There seems to be a voice ahead~" Rukaka held the fire with his hand and barely opened his eyes.
Xu Jiangyuan and Liufeng immediately ran forward to cross the branches, the originally narrow path suddenly opened up, a small basin in front of it, surrounded by mountains to form a natural cage, in which the fire was soaring, I saw that countless people were working, carts, stones, mountains abounded, every place was guarded by wrestlers, some held torches to investigate the situation, some held long whips to enslave the coolies, shouting, scolding, complaining, the sound was all over the field, and the three of them immediately bowed down.
"I know all the prisons near Chang'an City, but I don't know when this prison was built!" Liufeng looked solemn and thoughtful.
This is not a prison, a living hell on earth! Xu Jiangyuan was also moved when he saw this scene, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare Lu Qiming?" ’
"Huh~Huh~" Rukaka was already red-eyed, and his mouth kept letting out a low angry shout, thinking that a person like Lukaka who had experienced wrongs could not see the behavior of bullying the weak.
Xu Jiangyuan patted Rukaka's back to soothe his emotions, then stood up and pointed down the mountain.
"Why don't you keep looking?" Liufeng hurriedly faced Xu Jiangyuan.
"Brother Yun said that today is just paving the way, don't make trouble~" Rukaka thought that Liufeng was asking himself, and hurriedly explained that he stepped back to open the way.
Liufeng felt a little pity, 'I groped for so long to get up the mountain, and I left without investigating, and went back to explain how to explain to the master. ’
"Let's go! It's getting cold, come back then! Xu Jiangyuan took advantage of Lukaka's efforts to open the way, and urged him to leave quickly and not to cause more trouble.
