This cell is built on the mountain, half of the wood and stone structure, when you first enter, you go all the way down, not a few steps, it is a relatively empty hall-like place.

Not to mention, there are a few tables with some applications.

On one side of the wall are the keys to each cell.

On the other side, several soldiers were drinking and gambling together.

Further inside, there is the structure inside the mountain.

It is supposed to be an early ore vein, and after it was excavated and cleaned, the mine cave left behind was rebuilt.

As soon as Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi came in, among the soldiers who gambled money, someone raised their heads and greeted them:

"Wang An, come here, I'm not coming, you come to gamble."

When a sentence came out, Tang Huayi and Jiang Ran both muttered in their hearts, which one is Wang An?

Of course, this little thing can't bother the two of them.

Jiang Ran didn't speak, he took two steps forward directly, and called them to take a look:

"Zhou Cheng, what are you doing? My name is Wang An. ”

"What? I can't touch two of them? ”

Jiang Ran controlled his voice slightly, making his voice unnatural.

"Okay, okay, you can come, you can come."

The man stood up to make way for Jiang Ran while wondering:

"What's wrong with your throat?"

"I went out just now and I seem to have been affected by the wind, this ghost weather ......"

"Isn't it?"

Someone on one side said:

"It's getting colder and colder, and there's no trace of the quilt to keep out the cold.

"I heard that all the military salaries that were used to buy for us for the winter have gone into the money bag of Sun County's order."

"You can't talk nonsense."

Someone immediately reminded:

"If you spread the word, it won't benefit you. Moreover, this is just a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, don't spread the ......"

A few people held a dice to compare the size while chatting casually.

Talking, drinking, and gradually there is no door in the mouth.

Jiang Ran didn't use his gambling skills, so he just sat here and guided them to talk and see if he could get some useful information.

Tang Huayi was shouting inside because the prisoner was shouting, so he just used it as an excuse to go in to investigate.

In just a few moments, Jiang Ran had already gotten a lot of information from the mouths of these soldiers.

Their army, in fact, was not originally under the jurisdiction of Sun County's order.

I don't know the specific situation of this mine, but this group of people is subordinate to the Huwei Army, and the general is Guan Changqing, who guards the Huwei Pass.

However, because Huwei Pass and Jinyang Mansion are separated by water, and Guzhang County is subordinate to Jinyang Mansion, they sent their people to guard it.

At the beginning, it was said that it would be changed once in a season, and when the time came, someone else would come over to take over.

As a result, I don't know what's going on above, it's the same as not saying it, let alone a season, it's a year now, and it's now the third year.

They are always on duty here.

At the beginning, the lieutenant who guarded this place sent several letters asking for a change of value, but all of them were lost.

After that, he resigned himself to his fate.

It is always the duty of a soldier to obey orders.

Order, execute, and since the request is not answered, then proceed with the order.

But there is one verse...... Their group of people left the Huwei Army and came here to guard this iron mine, and it stands to reason that the Huwei Army should be responsible.

But I don't know what twists and turns have happened in this, and in the end, it was more than the Nasun County Order.

In this way, let Sun Xianling directly pinch their lifeline.

Eat and take cards, let others take what they want.

And in the past few years, they have also lived aggrieved.

The first year's salary was okay and came on time.

The second year was a bit late.

It is said that there are some reasons for this, but it is not known what they are.

This year, somehow, there is no trace of it until now.

At this point, I heard a soldier sneer:

"I did hear the news that the people who were escorting the military pay this year were killed on the way.

"All the military salaries are gone."

"What?"

When the rest of the people heard this, they all suddenly changed:

"How so? Dare to rob the military salary, this is a big crime that will bring disaster to the nine clans! ”

However, the man who spoke was not sure whether the news was true or false, so he pouted:

"Who knows...... Anyway, it always feels like something is wrong lately.

"In the past, although we were busy working day and night in our iron ore mine, it seems that we have been getting busier and busier recently.

"I don't know where the iron and weapons were sent.

"Cart by cart pulled out...... I've never heard of a war where so many weapons are needed. ”

The other man was drunk and hazy, and when he heard this, he said:

"There is wine today and drunk today, what do you do with so much?"

"You don't know that something is really going to happen.

"I heard Zhao Hai say that since Captain Chang has been in the past six months, his temper has become more and more eccentric.

"I get angry at every turn, and when I say I turn my face, I turn my face.

"In the past, he was not such a person, his face was a little cold, but his heart was hot.

"But now, I suspect he doesn't have a heart."

When he said this, he whispered again:

"Also, lately, those people who have been running to our side have been sneaky one by one.

"Do you remember the group of people who were secretly sent in last night?"

"Nonsense, how can we forget what happened last night?"

Jiang Ran said in passing.

Then the man who spoke nodded:

"They didn't come in according to normal rules, Captain Chang led people to bring them here.

"He also specifically instructed us not to get close to ......

"I don't know who it is?"

"That's right, that's right."

At the mention of this stubble, the person opposite Jiang Ran also nodded again and again:

"The origins of these people are a mystery, and they are still locked up in the lowest cell.

"The big iron gate is suppressed, the key is not in our hands, and Captain Chang personally delivers food to them.

"I'm afraid that this identity has a big background."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it."

Another man spoke up:

"Be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth, as a soldier, just listen to orders, don't think nonsense."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

skipped this topic and continued to talk about military salaries, and talked about military salaries, and talked about Sun County's order, and said Captain Chang.

Speaking of which, it's all about that.

The sound of footsteps came from inside the cell, and it was Tang Huayi who came out.

Glancing at Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran threw the silver he had won on the table:

"Alright, which of you will help me play for a while?"

"Huh? If you win, you want to leave! ”

Someone is not happy.

Jiang Ran pursed his lips:

"I will win the silver and throw it here, and whoever of you will take my place, the win will be your own, and the loss will be mine."

"Zhou Cheng, when did you kid become so atmospheric?"

"Yes, you, I'll come, I'll come."

Immediately, there was a soldier who took Jiang Ran's place with his arms and sleeves exposed.

Jiang Ran smiled, stood up and walked to Tang Huayi.

Tang Huayi whispered to him:

"It's quite tortuous, it's not easy to find, and I'm worried that the delay will be too long, which will arouse suspicion, so I don't dare to continue.

"Could we be mistaken?"

Jiang Ran glanced back at the group of soldiers and shouted:

"There's something going on in the cell, I'll go with it."

"Go, go, go."

Everyone is very gambling, and if someone is willing to deal with trouble, they are naturally willing.

Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi, and the two of them walked along the mine to the inside.

While walking, Jiang Ran also said to Tang Huayi the news he had just heard from the soldiers.

"The man who transported the military pay was killed?

"This iron mine has been building weapons to transport out?

"The captain who guards here escorted a group of people to the lowest level?"

Tang Huayi was stunned for a moment: "How did you inquire so much?" ”

"If you are in a hurry, they will say it themselves."

Jiang Ran said softly:

"There's something wrong here, I suspect it has something to do with the Heavenly Que."

This is not for nothing.

Tianshang Que has always been plotting against various prefectures and cities, and among them, Jinyang Mansion is the biggest.

Now that there is a lot of chaos, it's hard to say that they are not among them.

Tang Huayi nodded:

"But there's no need to jump to conclusions so early.

"What if that news is fake?"

"The news on the side of the military salary really can't be true."

江然 says:

"But the problem of Guzhang County itself is not small...... But now is not the time to talk about this, let's go down and take a look at the iron gate first. ”

"Okay."

The two men immediately stopped discussing.

Dressed in appropriate costumes, he swaggered around in this cell.

It's just that the mine is rugged, and the road turns thousands of times, and it's not so easy to find it.

No wonder Tang Huayi returned so quickly.

Those who are not familiar with the path will not only not be able to find the underground location, but will also get lost in the intertwined and complex paths of this mine.

The two of them went around in circles for a while before they found their way down.

But it wasn't until half an hour later that I saw the lowest cell that the soldier had mentioned.

It is indeed separated by a large iron gate, the iron gate is heavy, and it does not look simple.

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and touched the keyhole, and under the hands of the Seven Clever Heavenly Craftsmen, the complicated mechanism in the door was suddenly transmitted to his heart.

He frowned slightly:

"Either you have to use deep power to shake it away. Or you have to go get the keys...... What do you think is the best way to do it? ”

"Me?"

Tang Huayi grinned:

"If I had enough internal strength, I would just open the door and take them away.

"Whoever dares to stop me, I will kill him."

"And then you become a wanted man?"

"No, because everyone who sees me will die, and no one will know that I did it."

Tang Huayi said to Jiang Ran:

"Still, I know you won't."

"I still have to eat."

Jiang Ran smiled lightly:

"Let's go, let's go find the key, just ask Captain Chang to take them out with us, saving many conflicts.

"They all do what they are told......

"Yes."

Tang Huayi nodded and expressed his approval.

The two of them went through a tortuous path and returned to the door of the cell.

The two of them disappeared for so long, and the gang was still gambling and drinking, and they didn't care about the two of them at all.

Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi glanced at each other, and then walked directly towards the outside of the cell.

"Huh? Why are you going? ”

The one who called Wang An to gamble money before, seeing that they were leaving, finally opened his mouth.

"Pee pee."

Jiang Ran dealt with it casually.

"Huh? So much urine? That's not right, you shouldn't have hurt your kidneys, right? Turn back and let the military medic take a look...... lest they may not be able to bear sons in the future. ”

"Get out!"

"Hahahaha!!"

While laughing, Jiang Ran had already led Tang Huayi out of the prison cell.

The two guards in front of the door said hello to them again, and they didn't take it seriously, after all, the faces are the same, the clothes are the same, how can normal people have so many suspicions?

Even if the sound is wrong, it's mostly speculation about whether it's a cold or something.

I wouldn't have thought that all of a sudden, I would give you a set of big changes.

Then Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi identified the direction and walked towards another building.

It is not difficult to find this permanent lieutenant, after all, as the biggest leader of this mine, his residence may not be the best, but it must be the most conspicuous.

It turned out that finding this person was much easier than expected.

In front of a small two-story building, several carriages were already parked there.

The ruts are not shallow, and it can be seen that the things on the car are quite heavy.

A group of soldiers were ready to go, and one of them came to a man in his thirties in civilian clothes:

"Captain, you're all set."

The man was not in his mind, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but when he heard the words, he seemed to wake up, looked up at everyone, and said softly:

"After you deliver the things to the place, someone will hand them over to you, no need to ask, just come back directly after the handover."

"Yes."

A group of soldiers clasped their fists and bowed their hands, and then got into the carriage, and with a soft shout, the carriage pulled slowly, but the car was extremely slow.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, suddenly reached into his arms, took out a small bottle, and poured out a little powder from it.

The internal force is slightly condensed, followed by a flick of the fingers.

The powder should have flown away, but it was stuck by Jiang Ran's internal force, and finally hit a box on the carriage.

"Wind honey?"

Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran.

"I'm a little curious about where this stuff is going."

Jiang Ran nodded:

"When the matter of the Chongshan Sect is over, let's go and take a look."

"Listen to you."

Tang Huayi naturally listened to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran smiled slightly and took the wind honey back into his arms.

This thing is actually made by himself according to the records of the Hundred Poisons Sutra, although Qianli Feng cherishes it, but this thing is born on wind honey, so it is not difficult to cultivate.

All you need to do is find a bee with a strong physique and feed it for 10 days.

If you don't die for ten days, you will become a thousand miles of wind.

He's dead...... Just find another one.

But this thing is estimated to not last long, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is okay to put it in the box.

After being released, it is easy to freeze to death in winter.

When the time comes, we can only wait for the spring flowers to bloom and cultivate another one.

At this time, the lieutenant retracted his gaze, and his expression became more and more cold.

He turned around and walked towards the small second floor.

There were guards in front of the building, so Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi bypassed the guards and climbed directly from the second floor.

As soon as I entered, I heard footsteps.

When I looked up, I saw that the captain went upstairs with a frown, opened a door, and a moment later, a fire was lit.

Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi came to the door and carefully poked a hole in the window.

When I looked inside, I saw the captain sitting in front of a desk, writing with a pen, frowning as he wrote, and halfway through writing, he couldn't write anymore.

He suddenly put down the brush in his hand, and his palm fell heavily on the table.

The whole person leaned back in his chair and looked up at the roof.

Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi glanced at each other, and when they saw that there was no one else in the room, they pushed the door directly and entered.

Captain Chang was distracted, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he didn't face the person who came, but said a little impatiently:

"Zhao Hai, didn't I tell you to go rest? Don't bother me. ”

"Captain Chang is in charge of everything, and he really shouldn't be disturbed."

Jiang Ran stepped forward:

"It's just that there seem to be a few friends who have been locked up in this mine by Captain Chang, so I'm here to borrow a key from Captain Chang."

Hearing Jiang Ran's first words, Captain Chang had already raised his head suddenly.

After seeing Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi, he was stunned:

"Is that you?"

Dressed in the clothes of a soldier, he still looks like a soldier's face.

Although Captain Chang couldn't name them, he knew that they were his soldiers.

I was about to get angry, but suddenly I felt that something was wrong.

The soldiers under his command have not left this mine for three years, where are the friends?

Immediately, his face changed slightly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he copied a silver gun on the side in his hand, and jumped up from his seat with a shake:

"Want to save someone? Let me see what you guys are capable of!! ”

He didn't speak loudly, as if he was on the lookout for someone.

When the words fell, the silver spear in his hand was raised, and the spear was like a dragon.

It's just that the next moment, this silver dragon flying vertically and horizontally, with teeth and claws, fell into Jiang Ran's hands like a little white snake being held by someone for seven inches.

Captain Chang was stunned for a moment, his strength was raised, and the spear was bent, but he couldn't shake Jiang Ran in the slightest.

saw Jiang Ran smile:

"Let go."

Captain Chang was also obedient, let him go, and he let go.

The spear changed hands in a blink of an eye and fell into Jiang Ran's hands, and he followed Jiang Ran's progress forward, and he had already grabbed the choked throat of this permanent captain.

Lieutenant Chang's arm naturally drooped, and blood trickled down his fingertips and fell to the ground.

I don't know when the tiger's mouth has cracked.

It's just that he didn't care about the injuries on his hands at all, and he didn't care about his own safety, he just looked at Jiang Ran in surprise:

"Sure enough, good martial arts!!

"I said that the thief came back today, and he seemed to be quite embarrassed...... It turns out that a master has arrived! ”

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at the regular lieutenant, and then at Tang Huayi beside him.

Tang Huayi's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Captain Chang is planning to clean himself up?"

"Apostrophe?"

Captain Chang glanced at her and Jiang Ran, and sighed:

"I don't know what you've found so far, but it's good that you're here.

"It's time to take me down and go open the door and rescue my friends from the Chongshan Sect.

"Hey, this matter, I can't stand them...... One trick is so bad that I am so tired that I lose all the games! ”

Jiang Ran held his neck in one hand, his eyes swept over the table, and he saw the letter he had written halfway through.

Stretched out his hand to take it and read it, and then glanced at the captain again, and then handed the letter to Tang Huayi.

Tang Huayi looked at it and was stunned:

"You're asking for help?"
