Chapter 126: True and False
At the same time that Han Ming was pulling Nan Yulu along the mine road towards the outside, in a cave in the heavily guarded headquarters of the Mining Alliance, dozens of people were gathering together with serious faces, a dart master with a gold trim pattern on the cuffs and a middle-aged man with a beard sat at the head, and the remaining dozen people sat below.
"I'm sure you've probably guessed what brought everyone together this time. The Phnom Penh dart master played with a dagger in his hand with a blank face.
"This time, the alliance leaders gathered us together, could it be that there was something wrong with that incident? A mighty man asked with a frown.
"Haha, there were some accidents, but they were beneficial, only for our plans. The bearded middle-aged man laughed twice.
"Oh, I don't know what the accident was? The subordinates don't know, and please make it clear to the leaders of the left and right alliances. A half-centenarian sitting below stood up and bowed to the gold-edged dart master and the bearded middle-aged man sitting in front of him.
"Let's talk about the leader of the Left Alliance, after all, he planned this plan single-handedly. The Phnom Penh master glanced at the bearded middle-aged man beside him.
The bearded middle-aged man nodded, and then said with a straight face: "Half a day ago, the inner line planted in the horse thief reported to us that the horse thief in Qingfeng Village had gone out for autumn hunting in advance two days ago. Nearly half of the horse thieves went out, and there were less than two thousand horse thieves left, and the nine hundred horse thieves who were responsible for guarding our underground ore veins were also transferred three or four hundred. ”
The words of this bearded middle-aged man were like a thunderclap on the ground, which instantly shocked everyone present, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
However, the dozen or so people sitting below immediately calmed down after the initial surprise, and they began to discuss one after another, you and I said one sentence, making the cave noisy.
For a full quarter of an hour, the quarrel between the dozen or so people continued without stopping, but tended to intensify, which made the Phnom Penh dart master sitting at the head frown.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, if you continue to quarrel, you will miss the great opportunity, if you have any questions, just ask me and the leader of the Left Alliance! The Phnom Penh dart master said in a deep voice.
The Phnom Penh dart master's words seemed to be very effective, and before the words fell, the chaotic dozen people below were silenced.
"Escape plan in advance! The subordinates really have a few questions for the alliance leaders to answer. An old man with a hooked nose stood up and arched his hand at the two men above.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. As soon as the Phnom Penh master raised his hand, he motioned for the old man to continue.
"First of all, I don't know how true the information about the reduction of the number of people left behind by the horse thief is when he went out for autumn hunting! Whether the spy who was planted inside the horse thief is credible enough!" said the hook-nosed old man unhurriedly.
"We have more than one inside line, and the information they send is the same, so the accuracy of the news that the horse thief went out for autumn hunting is more than ninety percent, so you don't have to worry too much. The Phnom Penh dart master flipped the dagger in his hand and replied calmly.
"My subordinates have another question, and I would like to ask the alliance leader to answer it!" a swarthy man stood up and asked loudly.
Say. This time, it was the bearded middle-aged man who nodded, motioning for the man to continue questioning.
"The news came suddenly, and we started the escape plan in a hurry, is it a bit hasty? Can all the means of preparation be used?" the man sat back on the stone chair after asking.
"You don't have to worry about this, we have been preparing for this escape plan for many years, just waiting for an opportunity, although this accident came too hastily, but we can at least start more than ninety percent of the preparation means, you don't have to worry about insufficient preparation and other problems. The bearded middle-aged man replied in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, if you don't have a certain certainty, my Left Alliance Master will not start the escape plan at will, after all, if the plan fails, the first to be robbed will be me and the Left Alliance Master, and I and the Left Alliance Master will not risk our own lives. Phnom Penh added.
After the Phnom Penh dart master finished speaking, the dozen or so people who were lower were a little confused again, and secretly discussed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this underground vein is getting depleted more and more, and when this vein can no longer extract gold ore, we miners will be of no use. Do you still think that the horse thieves will let us go, or do you think that the horse thieves will give us a pension? If the veins are really exhausted, the veins we dig will be our graves!"
"Everyone, stand up if you don't want to join the escape plan, stand up now, I and the right alliance leader will not embarrass you, we will only control it temporarily, but if you don't stand up now, but block it after our escape begins, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings. The bearded man said coldly.
The dozen or so people sitting at the bottom looked at each other a few times, but after some hesitation, none of them stood up.
"Okay, now I'll give you the details of the plan, and in an hour I'll start the escape plan on time, and take advantage of the emptiness of the thieves' lair, and kill them in one go, and make those horse thieves pay some price. The Phnom Penh master stood up at once, his face full of fierceness.
"Rest assured, this plan is well established and we will see the light of day again. The bearded middle-aged man also stood up and echoed the Phnom Penh Dart Master.
"The subordinates swear to follow the leaders of the left and right alliances. A shirtless man stood up, bowed his hand to the gold-edged dart master and the bearded middle-aged man, and then said respectfully.
"The subordinates swear to follow the leaders of the left and right alliances. The other dozen or so people also stood up after glancing at each other, and saluted the Phnom Penh dart master and the beard.
"Hahaha, okay, we will definitely be able to kill it, and now I will explain the details of the escape plan. After seeing the dozen or so people bowing to the side, the Phnom Penh dart master couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Half an hour later.
The Phnom Penh dart master stood up and said proudly: "The details of the plan have been explained clearly, you better go back and prepare, after half an hour, the escape plan will start on time, and there will be no wait for anyone!"
When the dozen or so people heard this, they all saluted the gold-edged dart master and the bearded middle-aged man, and then retreated towards the outside of the mine.
"It's a pity for these people, if they can be brought out, it would be a good subordinate. The bearded middle-aged man glanced in the direction where the dozen or so people had left.
"Hehe, this world is like this, the weak eat the strong, their ignorance is weak, then they are damned. The Phnom Penh dart master smiled, and with a backhand turn, he took the dagger in his hand into his arms.
"You're right, it's just a pity that I've been preparing a two-year escape plan!" the bearded middle-aged man sighed faintly.
"Hmph, as far as your escape plan has been prepared for two years, let alone killing outside, even the mine road may not be able to break out, do you really think those horse thieves are muddy? The officers and soldiers have surrounded and suppressed dozens of times, which time is not a big defeat! Even if we can kill out of the mine road, in the end it will only end up being chased to death by the horse thieves. The Phnom Penh dart master smiled coldly.
"Hmph, I'm in such a situation, it's good to be able to plan such an escape! If it weren't for the fact that there is an old white man, whose hearing is rare and abnormal, and who can judge the direction of the rock veins, how would you dig a passage. The bearded middle-aged man was a little dissatisfied.
"Haha, in fact, your escape plan is not useless, and now is not a cover for our real plan, so that we can be truly foolproof. The Phnom Penh master stroked his palm and smiled.
"This old man Bai is very powerful, and he actually dug an underground crack and led directly to a hidden cave on the edge of Qingfeng Village, saving a lot of time. The bearded middle-aged man stroked his jet-black beard.
"Yes, that old man is also a talent, if he can go out, it is not impossible to leave him alive, and maybe he can give him some benefits. The Phnom Penh dart master sat back in his chair and said leisurely.
"Don't sit still, don't get ready yet, the plan will start in half an hour. The bearded middle-aged man couldn't help frowning when he saw the Phnom Penh dart master so relaxed.
"Calm down, everything is ready and according to plan, we just need to wait a quarter of an hour to encourage the miners and give them hope of rushing out. At that time, as long as we fight here and contain the horse thief, we will be able to escape from this dark cave!" said the Phnom Penh Guard.
Unlike the silence of the cave here, the entire vein began to boil.
Almost ninety percent of the miners were gathered in a large mine of hundreds of zhang, more than 2,000 people talked to each other, some of them were full of confusion in their eyes, some of them were very excited, and some of them sat aside to wipe the shovels, hammers and other tools in their hands.
At the same time, all the mines leading to the caves where the thieves were left behind were sealed off by the Mine Alliance, and no one was allowed to go out to report to the thieves.
Soon after, the leaders of the mining alliance appeared in the cave where the miners gathered, causing a commotion.
Subsequently, the left and right alliance leaders of the mining alliance said some confident words in public, which directly mobilized the passion of most of the miners.
Two quarters of an hour later, with the order of the two leaders of the Mining Alliance, all the miners took action, and in an orderly manner moved towards the mine outside, and finally stopped at a place about two hundred zhang away from the mine where the horse thieves were staying.
