After noon, more than 800 soldiers from the Sect Master's Mansion surrounded the mine tightly, and the remaining 200 people were ordered to raid the Donglin Prefecture. Yuan Xi slowly jumped out of the carriage, and the armor soldiers with shields hurriedly stepped forward to cover them.

The captain of the Sect Master's Mansion is surnamed Tu, and his name is Bo'an, which was proposed by Rong Zhan from the new army. This man is twenty or thirty years old, but he has practiced good martial arts. In the school field where the Donglin New Army was trained, he once singled out six people and was deeply loved by Rong Zhan. This time, all the new troops of Donglin were marched to Guiyunzhou to fight against Lu Guo, and Tu Boan also wanted to follow, but Rong Zhan insisted on leaving him behind.

Tu Boan was carrying a sword, looking up at the mountain, and he was quite breathless. Is this small mine worth such a mobilization of troops? Is it just to arrest a corrupt official, as for dispatching thousands of people? The real military exploits are all fought with a knife and a gun on the battlefield.

When Tu Boan saw Yuanxi coming down, he put away the dissatisfaction on his face, strode over, and arched his hand at Yuanxi: "Sect Master, when will you attack the mountain?"

Yuan Xi looked Tu Boan up and down, and the corners of his lips slightly raised an imperceptible arc. No wonder Rong Zhan refused to take him to the battlefield, in the end, he was still too composed.

"Captain Tu, don't be too anxious, you haven't done anything yet, you're going to attack the mountain, and you're going to be nameless?"

Captain Tu pursed his lips, and the boss in his heart was not happy, and he was nameless?

"Then let's stand still now?" Tu Boan asked.

"Send two people up the mountain and ask Zhou Yu to bring the imperial physician down to talk back. Won-hee replied lightly.

"Oh. Tu Boan took off the armor from his head, and a puff of hot white smoke evaporated from his hair. He hooked his hands and called two people: "You two, do as the sect master says." ”

The two men glanced at each other, gave a military salute, and walked up the mountain road. The mountain road was rugged, and there was an ambush set up by Zhou Yu early, and these two people had no way back. At the foot of the mountain, Yuan Xi, Tu Boan and others waited for two hours, but there was still no movement, and they felt that something was wrong.

"It stands to reason that two hours should have been back and forth, why haven't you come back yet?" Tu Bo'an fiddled with the scabbard.

Mother Zhong looked at Yuan Xi vigilantly: "Didn't you let Zhou Yu detain it?"

"It's possible. Tu Bo'an pulled out his sword with a sigh: "The last general will send someone to attack the mountain!"

Yuan Xi only glanced at him, and before he could speak, he felt a red thing on the top of the mountain flicker, and in an instant, the mountain shook, and the deafening sound startled everyone. The boulder rolls down the ridge, hits the edges of the rock on the ground, quickly shatters into more small pieces, and falls in different directions. Rubble rolled down from all directions without warning, injuring several shield-wielding soldiers. With a loud bang, the eight hundred soldiers swayed left and right as if they had been hit at the same time, and Tu Boan stuck his sword on the ground, barely standing firm.

Mother Zhong was startled, and hurriedly went to support Yuan Xi: "Master, be careful!"

Tu Boan chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt a little flustered, but quickly stabilized his mind.

"Did the mine explode?" asked Tu Boan, muttering to himself.

Tu Boan hurriedly ordered dozens of soldiers and walked up the mountain road, wanting to get close to the mine to see what was going on. The soldiers had walked less than half a mile when they saw two grizzled men, muttering something incoherent, rushing down from the top of the hill like madmen. The two guys were ragged, and the exposed flesh was covered with blood.

Several government soldiers took the two men down the mountain and sent them to Yuan Xi.

Mother Zhong glanced down at these two people, one was Zhou Yu, and the other was the guy named Li De under him. Mother Zhong couldn't help frowning, looking at Yuan Xi, feeling inexplicable.

Yuan Xi stared at them: "What happened?"

Zhou Yu whimpered in his mouth, and only after a while did he howl and say a complete sentence: "The mine, the mine has collapsed, and the laborers are still inside." ”

After saying this, Zhou Yu and Li De beat their chests one after another and began to cry. Tu Boan was stunned, he never expected such a thing. He grabbed Zhou Yu, but he couldn't care about the wounds on Zhou Yu's body, which caused Zhou Yu to cry out in pain.

"Let me ask you, what about Imperial Physician Wang?" Tu Boan roared.

"Imperial Physician Wang, Imperial Physician Wang, he was drunk and didn't run out, I'm afraid he was smashed by a rock!" Li De said, tears fell on his chest, and he slapped left and right: "It's all the villain's fault, the villain shouldn't have taken that old good wine out, if not, Imperial Doctor Wang would have been able to escape!"

The corners of Tu Boan's mouth twitched violently, and he grabbed Zhou Yu's neck, and his knuckles gradually turned white with the slow force on his hand.

"Imperial Physician Wang is dead, so why are you still alive?"

"I ......" Zhou Yu said bitterly: "General, who doesn't want to live?

"Captain Tu, let him go. Yuan Xi commanded lightly.

"Sect Master, they killed Imperial Physician Wang, do you want to let him go?" Tu Bo'an blushed.

"I said let him go!" Won-hee glanced at Tu Boan.

Tu Boan let go of his hand and pushed Zhou Yu to stumble: "Count you kid lucky!"

Zhou Yu coughed violently for a while, clutched his neck, and gulped for rough clothes. Zhou Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness!"

"Lord Zhou, what did you say about the mine just now? This sect master didn't hear clearly, so please say it again. ”

"Collapsed, collapsed, the mine collapsed!" Zhou Yu said stumblingly.

"How could a good mineral deposit suddenly collapse?" asked Yuan Xi coldly.

Zhou Yu touched his face, covering his panicked eyes: "Sect Master, don't ask so much, quickly send someone to save people!"

"Captain Tu, you take people to the mine right now, and you must find a living. Yuan Xi ordered sharply.

Tu Boan arched his hand: "Take the order." ”

Before, he was full of boredom, but now his whole heart is hanging in the air, and the life and death of hundreds of lives on the mine are uncertain, Tu Boan feels disturbed when he thinks about it. There is also Imperial Physician Wang, the two of them have a good relationship, and they can be called confidants in previous years, if Imperial Physician Wang really has three long and two short...... When Tu Boan thought of this, his heart went up and down. All the 800 soldiers were sent to the mountain, leaving only five people to protect the safety of Yuan Xi.

Zhou Yu saw that Tu Boan was gone, and he looked at Li De, and quietly stood beside Yuan Xi's sedan without saying a word.

Thinking that Imperial Physician Wang was a good person, and he died so miserably after not seeing him overnight, Mother Zhong couldn't bear it, and glanced at Zhou Yu fiercely. Zhou Yu naturally knew Mother Zhong's thoughts, stood with her hands tied, and said: "Mother Zhong, I know that your old man has a deep friendship with Imperial Physician Wang, but whose life is not fate?

There was great irony in these words, one was an old lady, and the other was a middle-aged man of half a hundred, who had only met a few times, and where did they have a deep friendship? If the friendship between two people separated by heaven and earth is deep, wouldn't the two of them have adulterous affairs?

Mother Zhong was speechless for a while, took a sip lightly, and turned her head away.

Li De snorted at Zhong's mother, it turned out that she was also a stubborn billet, so she couldn't answer?

Yuan Xi glanced at Zhou Yu and said indifferently: "It's good that Lord Zhou can live, but there is an old saying in the capital, I don't know if you have heard of it." Don't do bad things, don't tell the short and long. It means that if people do not do things that lack virtue, they do not have to worry about not living for long. Yuan Xi turned around slowly and glanced at Zhou Yu: "Don't be reluctant, you have to wait for Captain Tu to check the mine before you can make a conclusion, Lord Zhou still don't say too much." ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, Mother Zhong robbed them, he could fight back, but Yuan Xi was the sect master of Donglin, his direct boss, and in terms of face, he would never be able to fight back.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to arch his hand: "Xia Guan understands, please rest assured that Wei Chen is by no means a reluctant person, Xia Guan will go back, call all the officials in the government office, and organize the family Ding Ya to go up the mountain to save people." ”

"No need. Yuan Xi looked at him indifferently: "The Donglin Mansion has been guarded by the soldiers of this sect master, and there are eight hundred elite horsemen of Captain Tu in the mine, which is enough to save people." ”

"Look, take care?" Zhou Yu's body trembled, and he looked at Yuan Xi blankly: "What does the sect master mean by this?"

"What do you mean? Don't you understand?" Yuan Xi lowered his eyelids slightly and looked at Zhou Yu with disdain: "Lord Zhou, with a clear and confused play, it is enough to act once, if you act too much, it will only make people annoying." ”

Why, is it necessary to settle accounts after the autumn so soon? Zhou Yu swallowed his saliva, and his head was still a little unable to turn. Well, since that's the case, then he can only give it a go.

Zhou Yu perked up and said, "Sect Master, the lower officials don't know what crime they have committed, and they want to work for the Sect Master?"

Yuan Xi sneered: "Lord Zhou, what is the reason for the explosion of the mineral deposit for no reason? Besides, if you use the warrant of Donglin Mansion Yin to transfer the account books of my Sect Master's Mansion, will you not be able to distinguish between respect and inferiority? These two articles alone can cure you of a crime of dereliction of duty. ”

Zhou Yu was silent for a while: "Saying that the collapse is an explosion, it seems that Sect Master Wei has to deal with the crime of the lower officials?"

Yuan Xi looked at him indifferently for a while: "Is it that I want to punish you?"

Zhou Yu smiled disappreciatively: "Isn't it?, apart from you, the sect master, there is a huge Donglin Prefecture, who else can cure the sins of the officials?"

"Zhou Yu, listen to me, you are violating the law of the country, but I don't want to treat you. Yuan Xi sneered: "Do you think this sect master is so foolish? An explosion is an explosion, what kind of collapse is it? The Wei family business is cooperating with the government in Lu State for mining, and I know very well what the mountain that collapsed looks like." ”

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and looked at Yuan Xi with hatred, if it weren't for the fact that the capital and the prince's mansion were too far away, he might not have been able to deal with her, but he still had to listen to the prince's meaning, which delayed the best time.

"Lord Zhou, don't you think your lies should be re-compiled?"
