Chapter 124: The Mining Alliance Plan
Nan Youlu walked briskly in front with a torch, and turned back to greet Han Ming from time to time: "Hurry up, it's not safe here, if it collapses again, neither of us will be able to run away." ”
And Han Ming didn't say anything when he heard this, but just followed closely behind Nan Youlu step by step, his expression was gentle, and he seemed very obedient.
It didn't take long for Han Ming and Nan Worrying Lu to find a small vein that was remote enough, and then drilled into it.
Han Ming was still the same, leaning on the stone wall, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked like he was sleeping but not sleeping. And Nan Youlu is a little bored, he used to always look forward to a good sleep and rest when he couldn't eat enough, but now that he is full, he has enough time to rest, but he doesn't know what to do.
Nan Youlu put his hands on his cheeks and swept around the mine with a pair of big eyes, but he didn't find anything interesting, and finally set his eyes on Han Ming's body.
"Are you asleep?" Nan Youlu muttered quietly, as if he was talking to himself and to Han Ming.
"Doesn't seem to be!" Han Ming's eyes opened a little.
When Nan Youlu heard Han Ming's answer, he immediately became interested, he moved to Han Ming's side in a few clicks, and then asked: "Then what are you doing? As long as you have time, you lean against the wall and close your eyes, can you teach me, I just feel that I have nothing to do now, it's really uncomfortable!"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Han Ming's face, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep just recuperating, hoping that the meridians could recover sooner, and how could he teach them to others!
Just as he was about to open his mouth to make up a reason to explain, Han Ming saw Nan Youlu's big eyes full of longing, he suddenly felt a little unbearable, and after sighing faintly in his heart, he said: "Boring, I know some pastime things, I'll use that hook to carve it to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Ming took out the hook from his leg, and then picked up a useless piece of ore and carved it.
It didn't take long for a rough model of a chess piece to appear in Han Ming's hand, but before Han Ming could carefully modify it, the chess piece was snatched by Nan Youlu.
"What kind of chess is this! How do I look familiar but a little unfamiliar!" Nan Youlu turned the chess pieces in his hand and looked at them.
"It's like calling the Eighty-Six Bulletiner, and once I accidentally knew how to play, and I happened to use it for entertainment. Han Ming smiled slightly, then took another piece of ore and carved it, and began to introduce the way to play this kind of chess.
Han Ming traveled hundreds of thousands of miles eastward, passing through more than ten countries, and experienced all kinds of customs and customs, although he did not deliberately record it, but he learned a lot, and this eighty-six road bomber is one of them.
"Sounds like a lot of fun, you're going to play with me when it's over. Nan Yulu snatched another half-finished chess piece into his hand.
"Do you want me to play with me? I can play alone, and I still want to sleep." Han Ming's face showed a trace of bitterness, and he secretly regretted mentioning that this chess could be played by two people.
"Oh, you don't play, okay. Nan Youlu's tone was very disappointed, and the joy on his face disappeared in an instant.
Han Ming saw Nan Youlu's disappointed look, and couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart, and then said leisurely: "Forget it, I'll play with you." ”
"Okay, I know that Brother Ming is the best. Nan Youlu's face was full of joy again, where was the previous disappointment.
Han Ming smiled gently, but he couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.
While Han Ming was carving chess pieces for Nan Sorrow Deer, in a mine about a few hundred zhang away from Han Ming and Nan Sorrow Deer, more than thirty muscular men were working hard to carry gravel of different sizes on the ground.
"The leader of the left alliance, the leader of the right alliance has arrived. A breathless voice entered the vein.
At this time, the more than 30 big men who were moving stones were all stunned when they heard this sound, but they immediately reacted and retreated to the side with respectful expressions.
After a few breaths, two middle-aged men with good momentum walked into this vein, and these two middle-aged men were followed by more than a dozen subordinates.
These two middle-aged people, one of them is wearing a dart master uniform, but this dart master uniform is different from the other dart masters, because this dart master uniform has golden lace on the edge, and there are two unicorns embroidered on the front.
The clothes on the other bearded middle-aged man were not so conspicuous, and the clothes he wore looked gray, as if he had been wearing them for a long time, but his momentum was not inferior to that of the gold-edged dart master.
After the thirty or so people in the vein saw the two middle-aged people coming in, they immediately bowed down to them, got up and said, "Meet the left alliance master, meet the right alliance master." ”
"How could this happen! How did a good mine collapse it!" asked the Phnom Penh Master in a deep voice.
"Qi Qi Right Alliance Leader, when the mine road collapsed, I happened to be here, according to my guess, there should be another ore vein that collapsed first, and a strong earthquake was felt here, which caused the collapse of this newly opened ore vein. An old man who looked quite sleek arched his hand at the two middle-aged people, and then lowered his head and explained.
"It turned out to be Brother Bai, you have been following the road here these days, but it has hurt you. The Phnom Penh dart master looked at the old man beside him with a smile.
"If I hadn't been here, they wouldn't have been sure how to open the way to that side, and maybe they would have dug directly under the underground river, and then our plans would have been ruined!" the old man looked up, revealing his face.
If Han Ming was here, he would immediately recognize this old man as the treacherous white old man who had been with him before, this person's hearing was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he was very unique in using his hearing skills.
"That's right, there can't be no brother here! Without my brother's hearing, I have no chance to dig it out, and I will always touch the groundwater! Brother Bai has to work harder, Brother Bai rest assured, as long as you can dig it out, the gold saved by my mining alliance will definitely share with you." The Phnom Penh master laughed.
"There is no need for gold, the old man just wants to get out alive, he can find a place to live in peace, and he doesn't need any wealth or anything, and the gold is still left to the Mining Alliance!"
Seeing that the old man Bai knew each other like this, a hint of surprise flashed on the face of the gold-rimmed dart master, and he glanced at the other middle-aged man beside him and then stopped talking, just smiled silently and did not speak.
"By the way, Brother Bai, how long will it take for the collapse of the vein to recover this time?" The bearded middle-aged man shut up the Phnom Penh Dart Master and stopped talking, so he frowned and asked Old Man Bai.
"Qiqi Left Alliance Leader, it will take about half a month to clean up completely, and I will have to reposition it after the cleanup, and it will take about four or five months if I want to dig it out completely. Old man Bai replied.
"It will take more than half a month to clean up! Can we change the road? I'm afraid that if we delay for a long time, there will be some unforeseen changes, and if we are discovered, those horse thieves will definitely clean us up with iron blood!" The bearded middle-aged man frowned tightly, and seemed to be very troubled.
At this time, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the old man's face, and he frowned and said: "Those horse thieves can indulge us so much, because it is almost impossible to dig out this underground except for the way it comes, and the road found before is very rare, and the effort to find another road is far more than a month to solve!"
"How is this good, if you delay for another month, it will add a few points of danger out of thin air, if those horse thieves find out, we are afraid that all of us will die!" The bearded middle-aged man's face was a little ugly.
"The best thing to do now is to keep all the people who know about it tightly, gather them together, and then send more people to block the nearby mines, and not allow idlers to come close. The Phnom Penh dart master turned his eyes to look at the bearded middle-aged man.
"But if we send someone to block the mine road near here, it will inevitably cause those horse thieves to plant traitors among the miners! The bearded middle-aged man shook his head and said that he did not approve of the proposal of the Phnom Penh dart master.
The proposal was rejected, but the Phnom Penh dart master was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "We blocked the mine because there are a lot of poisonous gold snakes near here, which have bitten a lot of miners to death, and our mining alliance is blocking the mine veins because we are afraid that those miners will be bitten to death by snakes." ”
"I heard that not long ago, someone exchanged the corpse of a poisonous golden snake for half a year's food in the book of the Mining Alliance, which is a reason, but I am afraid that only two poisonous golden snakes are not enough to make people believe!"
"Haha, there are not only two poisonous gold snakes, but also more than 20 poisoned miners, not long ago someone reported to me, with these poisoned miners, our poisonous gold snake is more convincing from the beginning, not to mention that the poisonous gold snake is just an excuse on the surface. The Phnom Penh dart master said unhurriedly.
"What do you mean, what kind of excuses on the surface, and secret excuses?" the bearded middle-aged man asked, a little puzzled.
"If the horse thief discovers the abnormality, we will release a message through the "eyes" planted by the horse thief in our interior, saying that the poisonous gold snake is just a cover released by our mining alliance, but the actual situation is that our mining alliance has found a larger gold vein, and in order not to distribute this rich ore to other miners, we will use the poisonous gold snake guise to deceive them!"
"Yes, what a good idea, the horse thieves would never have imagined that the "truth" they got was just what we wanted them to know!" After listening to the words of the Phnom Penh Dart Master, the bearded man couldn't help but be full of praise, but he immediately seemed to remember something, and his brows immediately furrowed and said: "But if the second news is released, the gold we need to hand over will also become more, and then we can only use the stored gold, so I am afraid that the loss will be a lot!"
"Getting out alive is a first-class thing, those things outside the body can get better, if you don't get it, forget it, do you have to fight for your life?" said the Phnom Penh dart master slowly.
"That's right! Life is the most important thing, just do what you say!" the bearded middle-aged man nodded vigorously, agreeing with the proposal of the Phnom Penh dart master.
"Okay, let's start the first step, block this vein, no one is allowed to enter or leave without a warrant from you and me, and anyone who enters or leaves without permission will be directly judged as a spy regardless of the reason. All the men we brought with us this time are here to make sure that outside of this vein, only you and I know everything! Let's go out and prepare now, and try to block the entire mine in about two hours, so that not a single mosquito can fly in. With that, the Phnom Penh Master walked outside, and at the same time he waved his hand to signal all his men to stay.
The bearded middle-aged man saw the Phnom Penh dart master walking outside, and his feet also moved, and he followed quickly, and at the same time, he also waved his hand, signaling his men to stay in place.
After a few breaths of effort, the two leaders of the Mining Alliance came out of the mine, leaving only a group of wide-eyed and small-eyed subordinates.
After the Phnom Penh dart master and the bearded middle-aged man left, there was a quiet passage in the mine, but under the organization of the old man Bai, most of the people began to clean up the ore veins, and only some cronies of the two alliance leaders remained.
About an hour later, a gray-haired old man took advantage of everyone's inattention, and slipped into a vein behind him, and then tiptoed outside.
When he was about to get out of this mine vein that was about to be blocked, two people walked out in front of him, and it happened to be blocked in front of him, but it was the two leaders of the mining alliance who should have left long ago, the Phnom Penh dart master and the bearded middle-aged man.
"I really didn't expect that you are also a spy, and this time you actually fished out two spies planted by horse thieves at once. You shouldn't know that each other is also a spy, otherwise you two wouldn't want to sneak out together to report the news!" the bearded middle-aged man threw out a round object with one hand, which happened to fall in front of the gray-haired old man.
The old man with white eyes looked at it, and the round thing turned out to be a human head, looking at the blood on the neck that had not been completely dried up, it was clear that it had only been cut off not long ago, and at this time, the old man with white hair instantly sank to the bottom.
