Chapter 1105: The Jade Dragon is in Trouble
It's just that when the news about Lin Xuanzhong spread in the city, Lin Xuanzhong, who was traveling all the way straight, was about to leave the Sifang Country. When someone suggested to the prince to chase Lin Xuanzhong, although the prince regretted that Lin Xuanzhong was a talent, he did not send anyone to chase him, because he knew from the beginning that he would not be able to keep Lin Xuanzhong.
Because of Lin Xuanzhong, Divine Sword City was boiling again, and more than a month later, the army of the Four Directions Country, which had countless new forces, officially started a war with several enemy forces on the border, and the domestic affairs related to Lin Xuanzhong came to an end.
At the same time, the news that Lin Xuanzhong appeared in Divine Sword City and shined in the Divine Sword Martial Arts spread throughout the Blue Country. After getting the news about Lin Xuanzhong again, the Blue Army spies who were responsible for finding Lin Xuanzhong were inspired that it was difficult to find Lin Xuanzhong in the way they had done before, and they had to speed up if they wanted to find Lin Xuanzhong.
As for Fang Qing, Ni Youbin and others, since Lin Xuanzhong may still be alive, it is enough for them to know the news about Lin Xuanzhong. After somewhat understanding some of the reasons why Lin Xuanzhong was reluctant to come back, they regarded becoming stronger as the first thing to do at the moment, like Zhang Jiutian. For Ruan Ming, Princess Lan Xin and others, after surviving a few months, it is the greatest comfort to have news of Lin Xuanzhong.
Although they weren't completely sure that Lin Feng was Lin Xuanzhong, and they didn't even know why Lin Xuanzhong was leaving, they all knew that they had to wait for Lin Xuanzhong to come back by himself. As for when Lin Xuanzhong's people might return, no one knows.
Putting aside the situation in the Blue Country, after leaving the Sifang Country, according to a safe route confirmed by many inquiries, Zhang Yulong greatly accelerated his marching speed, and rushed all the way with some dry food, the further he went, the more desolate it became, and the fierce beasts were rampant on the border between the two countries, Zhang Yulong only carried an iron sword.
Walking in the wilderness, Zhang Yulong felt more and more that the safe route he had finally inquired about was not as safe as he imagined, whether it was day or night, there were beast roars everywhere, sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, always provoking Zhang Yulong's nerves, crossing the border between the two countries alone, Zhang Yulong was afraid, he didn't feel safe for a moment, and he didn't know where he was going. After two days of driving in fear, Zhang Yulong now just wants to find a place where there are people and ask if anyone has seen Lin Xuanzhong.
"Stop," but before Zhang Yulong could find someone, someone had already found Zhang Yulong.
"You?" was stopped by a few people with unkind faces for no reason, and Zhang Yulong, who was full of sorrow, raised his head with a puzzled expression.
"Boy, hand over the valuable things on you!" The few people who were carrying weapons with fierce faces looked at Zhang Yulong with a smile one by one.
"What?" exclaimed, and Zhang Yulong immediately realized that he had encountered another group of bandits.
"Don't pretend to be confused for the uncle, hurry up and hand over the money on your body, and then come with us!"
"Coming with you?"
"Yes, come with us, it's your bad luck to meet us today!" The person who spoke had an arrogant tone, and the ferocity in his eyes made Zhang Yulong unable to look directly.
On the way to find Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Yulong endured all kinds of hardships and suffered all kinds of humiliation, but now Zhang Yulong felt that the situation in front of him was not the same as he imagined.
"I don't have any money, I want you to take the sword," waving his hand, Zhang Yulong hurriedly presented the sword with a broken scabbard, this sword was the most valuable thing on Zhang Yulong's body.
"Who wants your rags," but the other party didn't even look at it, and then said coldly: "Since you don't have any money, then come with us." "I just saw how shabby Zhang Yulong was, and after Zhang Yulong said that he had no money, those people didn't even want to search for it, but just let Zhang Yulong go with them.
"What do you want to do? I haven't taken a shower for many days!" Those people's eyes were not only fierce, but also seemed to have some other meanings, after hearing those people let them go again, Zhang Yulong was afraid to think about whether those people would have any special habits to do to him, thinking like this, Zhang Yulong was still nervous.
"Boy, what do you want? Longer verbosity, be careful that my brother will beat you up," a man with a sinister face immediately scolded after realizing the meaning of Zhang Yulong's words.
"Where are you going to take me?" was yelled at by the other party, and Zhang Yulong was even more scared.
"Don't ask so much, you'll know when you go," the man said and motioned to the two companions, and then the two fourth-order martial cultivators came over to escort Zhang Yulong.
"I'm not going," Zhang Yulong was about to struggle because he didn't know where they were going to take him, and because he thought that these people had bad intentions, but the two fourth-order martial cultivators were faster, throwing away Zhang Yulong's broken sword, and then tying Zhang Yulong's hands together with ropes.
"Boss, today's receipt is good, it's still a third-order martial cultivator, much better than those civilians with poor strength," after leaving with Zhang Yulong, one of the people in the team said happily.
"Yes, this area is too remote to catch a few people, it's really good to be able to catch a third-order martial cultivator today. ”
"Don't worry, boss, the war between the Quartet and the Iron Gate Country and the Jinmu Country has begun, and when the time comes, we will catch some more deserters and replace all the civilians in the mine, which will definitely improve the efficiency of mining." ”
"Well, that's the only way," the big man who walked in front nodded, and then continued: "I don't know if the second child has any gains on their side, let's go over and join them." ”
A few people said to themselves, not taking Zhang Yulong seriously at all. From the conversation of several people, Zhang Yulong gradually heard that these people were working in a mine, but the content of the job was to arrest people, so the real person in charge of mining was the person who was caught by them, and after understanding this, Zhang Yulong already knew where these people were going to take him.
I don't know what the situation was after going there, because of nervousness, Zhang Yulong's heart was pounding, but surrounded by several martial arts cultivators who were stronger than him, Zhang Yulong, who was tied with his hands, didn't dare to have extra thoughts. A few days later, Zhang Yulong and several other men who had been caught were sent into the mine in a horse-drawn carriage.
When they arrived at the mine, the guards with various weapons in their hands came into view, and the scene of heavy security was terrifying.
Next to those guards, there were some people pushing iron carts with bamboo cages on their backs, all of them dirty and weak, working under the scolding of those guards, and the scene made Zhang Yulong and others realize what kind of fate they would face.
"Get out of the car," the coachman urged as the carriage stopped, waving his whip.
At the same time, some people from the mine came to the joint.
"Is the goods good this time?" a sixth-order martial artist glanced at Zhang Yulong and the others with a smile.
"The overseer is polite, as long as you don't forget what we're waiting for. ”
"That's nature. ”
In front of so many people who were caught, the two people who joined the joint were polite, greeting each other like friends when they met, and neither of them took the existence of Zhang Yulong and others to heart.
"When you come to us, you have to abide by the rules, otherwise you will suffer," After the person who supervised and arrested Zhang Yulong was polite, he immediately turned to Zhang Yulong and the others with a cold face, and the aura of the sixth-order martial cultivator was suddenly released, and with the ferocity on his face, Zhang Yulong and the others trembled.
"Lord Overseer, it's okay, let's go first!"
"Yes," he nodded, and the overseer turned to look at the guards beside him and ordered, "Take them to eat first, and then send them to work." ”
"Yes," one of the guards agreed, and then escorted Zhang Yulong and the others with his companions to the place where there was a house at the bottom of the mountain.
Not long after, after being hungry for two days, Zhang Yulong ate something that could not be said to be food, and was taken away by the guards, and then listened to the overseer talk about the rules of working in the mine.
It is nothing more than telling them that if they work hard, they will have food, if they are lazy and make trouble, they will be punished accordingly, and the last thing they can do is to run away, because once they are caught, they will be seriously injured. After briefly talking about some rules in the mine, the supervisor asked Zhang Yulong and others to be sent to several mines to explain to Zhang Yulong and them what to do in person.
The new laborers like Zhang Yulong had to do a very simple job, just help the people in charge of mining inside take out the garbage, and send the waste rock from the inside of the mine to the outside, again and again, seven or eight hours a day, with very little time to rest.
After working for three days in a row, Zhang Yulong didn't realize that he would be arrested as a hard laborer, and in such a heavily guarded and isolated place, with his current strength, there was no possibility of escaping.
In the past three days, Zhang Yulong has met some people and learned a little about the mine. This is a jade mine, which has been open for some time, and the people who have been caught here to do hard labor have never returned, because in order to speed up the progress of mining, there is still a lot of manpower in the mining area. In other words, the group of people who arrested Zhang Yulong before will continue to arrest people outside, and ordinary martial artists who are walking alone in the nearby area and refugees who have fled are all their targets.
In addition, the rules in the mine are indeed very simple, work, eat, do not need to have extra thoughts, otherwise it is to find trouble for yourself, but the work is too tiring, not everyone can bear it, Zhang Yulong often sees some overtired people walking, walking and falling. In fact, for Wu Xiu, that basket of waste stones is not heavy, but if it is carried continuously for several hours, anyone will be exhausted.
After working for three days in a row, Zhang Yulong was tired physically and mentally, and Zhang Yulong's physical condition could be ranked to the top in so many hard labors, so you can imagine how tired those civilians would be when they worked every day, and the mine did not give them enough food, and even the sleeping time was limited, most of them fell asleep after going back, and they couldn't think about escaping from the mine at all, and some people who still had energy could only think about it simply, because the more they thought, the more tired they were.
