Chapter 130: Detonation
"Why should we sacrifice our lives for the sake of a few of them? They are all slaves of sin, why should they? ”
"It's enough to eat one meal a day, but if you don't have supplies, can you still live that day?"
"Don't save them! Now we must blow up the hole, hurry up and start work, we want supplies! ”
"We want supplies! We want supplies! ”
The voices of the sin slaves came and went, completely drowning the voices of Jing Zhong and Jing Jingnian in the crowd, and they had no way to fight for Jing Beihan, Zuo Xingyan and the others to have a chance to live.
"Dad, what should I do now?" In the face of so many people's opposition, Jing Jingnian lost his attention for a while.
"There's no way, the life of the sin slave is also life."
Jing Zhong's tone was full of helplessness, but if he was Sun Feng, he might make the same choice as him.
Just like on the battlefield, if the death of a few people can save the lives of the majority, then he will also give up a few people to save the majority.
"Do it." Sun Feng said in a deep voice.
Without resistance, the servants were able to place the explosives faster, and it didn't take long for the explosives to be placed around the entrance of the cave, and the other slaves were evacuated to safety.
"General, give the order." The deputy reminded.
Sun Feng looked at the bare mine in front of him, and had mixed feelings for a while.
Because of this jade mine in Quanzhou, the sin slaves on the island have a chance to survive.
Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan, they didn't do anything wrong when they came to Quanzhou, and they also made tools to reduce the burden of the criminal slaves on the island, and also helped him make armor and strengthen his troops.
Even if he later knew that Zuo Xingyan was Zuo Si's daughter, he didn't really get angry and treat them badly, but he didn't expect that God would let him make such a choice here.
"Jing Beihan, Zuo Xingyan, don't blame me." Sun Feng kept apologizing in his heart.
Then, he gave the final order: "Ignition." ”
"Ignition."
"Ignition ......"
As the order to ignite the fire was given, the officials kept passing the orders to the people in the distance, and the officials with torches in their hands lit the fuses one after another, and the gunpowder ignited in a matter of moments.
On the other side, Zuo Xingyan and others heard the sound of water in the mine, so they began to clean up the rubble along the sound of the water.
I don't know how long it took for them to finally open a small tunnel for a person to climb into.
And at the end of the tunnel was the open spot where they heard the sound of water.
"Yan'er, I'm exploring the way in front, and you are supporting the old man in the back." Jing Beihan instructed.
The other end of the tunnel is still unknown, and Jing Beihan will not let Zuo Xingyan take the risk.
"Okay."
The three of them didn't talk nonsense, and went straight into the tunnel, and as they advanced, they shifted the gravel behind them, suffocating the small space, making all three of them sweat a lot.
Halfway through, Jing Beihan saw that the old man was too weak to lift his hand, so he said, "Let's take a rest like this, and then move forward later." ”
Zuo Xingyan also had this intention, she took out the water bladder from her pocket and handed it to Jing Beihan and the old man in front.
"You guys drink some water first, I still have some food here." After speaking, he took out a few buns and divided them with the two immediately.
Although the old man was injured, his mental state was okay, and he even had an air conditioner Kan Zuo Xingyan: "You little girl, your pockets are not big, you can hold so many things." ”
The uncle's unintentional joke made Zuo Xingyan's heart tighten.
They were trapped in the mine, thinking that they couldn't be hungry and thirsty in this kind of place, Zuo Xingyan gradually relaxed his vigilance, and during this time, regardless of the suspicions of the other two, he had already taken out a lot of food.
Zuo Xingyan secretly gritted his teeth, and could only pretend to be stupid in the previous omnipotent way.
"Uncle, you may not believe it, there are always immortals around me who are protecting me, he will help me when I am in danger, and he can also help me teach bad people a lesson."
Jing Beihan listened to her words, pursed his lips and smiled in the dark, this Yan Er, she started her foolish talk again.
But it was her smart appearance that attracted him and added a touch of light to his originally gloomy life.
"Are there really immortals around you?"
The old man will be suspicious, he is the former prince's concubine, naturally has his own insight and understanding, and will not be deceived by Zuo Xingyan in a few words.
"Of course it's true. The immortals have been by my side to protect me since I was born, and on the way to Quanzhou, thanks to the immortals, we were able to arrive safely, right. ”
Zuo Xingyan wanted Jing Beihan to help her testify, after all, he had seen the protection of the "immortals" all the way they had traveled.
"Well, there are immortals around the lady to help, otherwise we don't know how many times we have died along the way."
Jing Beihan is also willing to help Zuo Xingyan hide from the world, the less people know the true situation of the lady, the better.
"So that's the case, I believe that Miss Zuo is also a blessed person, so she can get the help of the immortals."
Although the old man didn't fully believe in ghosts and elves, Jing Beihan also said the same, and he didn't pursue it anymore.
There is no need for these two people, who are still strangers to him, to lie to him, after all, there is no conflict of interest between them.
Hearing the old man's tone was finally convinced, and he didn't dig deeper, Zuo Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief, such a thing is really troublesome to explain, she can't tell people that she has a space around her, what she wants to put in it, and she can put as much as she wants.
Fortunately, Jing Beihan helped her testify falsely, otherwise she would have to explain for a long time to dispel the old man's concerns.
The three of them rested for a moment, then continued down the tunnel, finally to the spot where they heard the sound of water.
This is an underground river in the mine, and this dark river spreads for miles along the mountain, and there is no end in sight.
"This should be a hollow in the mountain, and if you follow this dark river, you should be able to find the exit."
Zuo Xingyan leaned down and put his hand into the dark river, feeling the direction of the water.
"The water flows this way, let's go this way." She pointed in one direction.
The three of them did not hesitate, walked along the dark river, and also quickened their pace, the mine cave had collapsed inexplicably once before, who knows when the next collapse will be.
Sun Feng ordered the fuse to be ignited, and Mars got closer and closer to the gunpowder.
Jing Yannian felt that the time for the lead to burn was longer than the time of his life.
He rushed to the lead like crazy, trying to extinguish them, but he had already been held back by Jing Zhong and Jing Jingnian, and he couldn't move.
Although Jing Yannian is young and in good health, he can't match the strength of two adult men after all.
Just now, when Jing Zhong objected to blowing up the hole with gunpowder, he happened to be rescuing on the other side, and he didn't notice the riot here, but when he wanted to stop it, he was held down by Jing Zhong and Jing Jingnian.
"Don't! Please, don't! Don't blow it up, I can go open the tunnel. ”
He shouted hoarsely, but no one paid attention.
