Chapter 129: Blowing Up the Mine

"Explode?"

Sun Feng has been guarding the entrance of the mine and personally supervising the rescue site.

"Yes, my lord, the imperial court has been urging jade to be tighter recently, if we can't hand it over at the specified time, then the brothers and these criminal slaves on the island will have no way to live."

After listening to the deputy's words, Sun Feng's expression became more serious, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan wanted to save, but he also wanted to save the lives of so many people on the island.

Failure to pay the required amount of jade means that there is no support from the imperial court, which means that everyone living on this island will die.

After a long time, Sun Feng seemed to have made up his mind, and said to his deputy: "Blow it up, save the majority first." ”

After speaking, Sun Feng handed him the token on his waist.

The deputy has followed Sun Feng for many years and is his confidant, so there will be no problem in handing over the token to him.

The deputy took the token, nodded yes, and hurriedly organized his subordinates to arrange explosives.

"Jing Beihan, Zuo Xingyan, I hope that you Ji people have their own natural appearance and can escape smoothly, if not, I will set up a well-dressed mound for you."

Sun Feng was also full of apologies in his heart, but in order for more people to survive, he could only make such a choice.

The deputy took his men to the warehouse in the center of the island to get gunpowder.

The gunpowder was placed in a specific warehouse, guarded by a special person, and no one could approach the warehouse without Sun Feng's order.

At this moment, the deputy came to the warehouse with Sun Feng's token, held up the token, and motioned for the guards to open the door.

The guards did not dare to slack off when they saw that it was Sun Feng's token, so they hurriedly opened the storeroom and moved out five large boxes of gunpowder at the signal of the deputy, and the deputy took people to arrange the five large boxes of gunpowder at the door of the mine.

"What are you doing here? What are you going to do? ”

Jing Zhong, as the Marquis of Wuwei, naturally saw gunpowder on the battlefield.

At this moment, he saw some officials arranging gunpowder, apparently to blow up the mine, and he couldn't help but panic.

"There are still people in there, you can't blow it up!" Jing Zhong shouted.

But how could those servants pay attention to the words of his little sin slave, push Jing Zhong away and continue the movements of his hands.

Jing Zhong didn't notice it for a while, and he was also pushed and stumbled.

"Can't be fried, it's blown up...... The people inside will die. ”

He couldn't let Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan die inside, otherwise he would have the face to face his ancestors.

He stepped forward and grabbed the officer, and the officer wanted to push him away, but at this moment, Jing Zhong had already taken precautions, and cut the officer's hand behind his back.

The pain made the servant roar loudly: "You sin slave, you dare to commit the next crime, don't you want to live!" ”

But the roar of the official did not pose a threat to Jing Zhong at all, he had experienced a hundred battles on the battlefield, what scene had he never seen, how could a mere official intimidate the battle-hardened general?

"I said it, you can't blow it up! The people inside will die. Jing Zhong's tone was solemn, and he actually had some momentum that would not stop until he reached his goal.

There were a lot of criminal slaves rescued here, and the scene of Jing Zhong subduing the servants attracted the attention of many people, and everyone unconsciously gathered around, all looking at what was going on.

The gathering of the crowd quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding officials, who approached with weapons in hand.

"What? Do? You don't want to eat anymore, do you? Hurry up and let me go to work! ”

The official waved the whip in his hand to deter the slave, and several whips fell on the slave next to him, causing the man to scream and quickly dodge.

Jing Zhong was not deterred by the whip, but he was neither humble nor arrogant and said to the official holding the whip: "Go and call your steward and tell him that this mine cannot be blown up." You have to save people first. ”

The official waved his whip and walked over to Jing Zhong, and said in a still dry mouth: "It's up to you? Do you still think you are some kind of dignitary? If you come here, you are all sin slaves, hurry up and let go of my hand, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

Saying that, the whip was really going to fall on Jing Zhong.

The whip was still a centimeter away from Jing Zhong and was caught.

"Clean your mouth for me, do what my father says, or I'll let you go to Hades now."

The person who spoke was Jing Jingnian.

When Jing Zhong shouted just now, he noticed the movement here, but in order not to let the conflict escalate, he never showed up.

Now that Jing Zhong is in danger, he can't care about it, so he rushed directly to the front and clashed with the officials.

The Jing family has always been relatively safe since they came to Quanzhou and did not take the initiative to cause trouble, but now facing the life and death problems of Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan, they can't ignore it.

The official and Jing Jingnian pulled the end of the whip and competed hard.

"You hurry up and let go of me, you don't want to live anymore, do you!"

The officer's loud voice attracted Sun Feng, who was not far away, and he also noticed the commotion here and hurriedly ran over.

Pushing aside the crowd, I saw Jing Zhong and Jing Jingnian each confronting the officials, and the officials were at a disadvantage, where did he put the face of the general of Quanzhou?

Sun Feng said coldly: "Do you want to rebel? ”

After speaking, he rushed forward with a strong stride, and slashed a fist, breaking Jing Zhong's clamp on the officials.

After all, Jing Zhong is a little older, and he came all the way from the capital to Quanzhou, although he has no worries about his life, he has also suffered a lot along the way.

In addition, Quanzhou does not eat well, does not drink well, always works and has no time to cultivate, and his physical fitness has decreased a lot.

At this moment, he was suddenly attacked by Sun Feng, Jing Zhong was also invincible for a while, he was punched in the chest, and he let go of the servant in pain.

He clutched his chest and took two steps back, Sun Feng's punch was not heavy, Jing Zhong could see that it was leaving him with spare strength.

"General Sun, this mine can't be blown up, there are still people in it, it's all a living life."

Jing Zhong didn't know how many people were trapped in the mine, but in order to arouse Sun Feng's sympathy, Jing Zhong could only say this.

"If this mine doesn't blow up, more people will die." Sun Feng's tone was still cold.

"Quanzhou pays a fixed amount of jade every year, and the imperial court will support the food, cloth and other materials needed by Quanzhou, the time to pay this year is almost up, and the amount of jade is still a lot worse, if there is an accident in the mine at this time, stop mining, and there is no material supply, then everyone on Quanzhou Island will die."

Sun Feng raised his eyebrows and approached Jing Zhong step by step.

"Lord Wuweihou, tell me, is this a human life?"

Sun Feng's words blocked Jing Zhong was speechless, it was all for people's lives, there were many people on the one hand, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, should they sacrifice the lives of those who were still alive for those who didn't know whether they were alive or dead?

Sun Feng, as the general of Quanzhou, he had no choice.

Jing Zhong looked frustrated, he had no way to refute Sun Feng, but he was unwilling to let Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan be buried in it and not be rescued.

At this time, some of the sin slaves around them also heard their words and opened their mouths.
