Chapter 505: The Mine
Han Fen's greatest pleasure is to talk to Han Xuan, in the process, she can say everything she wants to say, this is her dream for many years, and she finally has the opportunity to come true.
Even if she was locked up in a dark abandoned mine, surrounded by nervous tribal soldiers, she didn't care.
"What about the Lotus Girl, didn't you say that you would come to save people? It's almost a day over, why haven't you seen her yet?" Han Xuan put her arms around the young lady and looked vigilantly at the soldiers not far away, the three of them plus another Xiaoyue Hall disciple were the only women here.
Han Fen wasn't in a hurry at all, or didn't care at all, "The Imperial Master may have something, and it may not be necessary to forget it." ”
"Forgot, then we're going to die here?" Han Xuan said in disbelief.
"Isn't it good here? Even the grave is saved. ”
Mingzhen trembled, Han Xuan hugged her tightly, and glared at Han Fen angrily, "You are not allowed to scare Miss, it turns out that your Xiaoyuetang words don't count, you are treacherous." ”
"If everything you say counts, you won't be tired. Han Fen looked back without showing weakness, his eyes full of smile rather than anger, "I said that I want to eat noodles at noon, and temporarily change to rice, can't I?"
"This ...... It's not the same. Han Xuan was just a little reckless, and her thinking was still close to that of a normal person, "We're not rice, the Dutch girl treats you like a meal, so you're happy?"
"Happy. After getting along with each other day and night, Han Xuan understood that the only disciple in Xiaoyue Hall who liked to talk didn't know what lying and forcible reasoning was, "This shows that I am still a little useful to the imperial masters, if she doesn't look at me at all and can't think of me when something happens, then it will make people unhappy." Let me tell you, the Imperial Master likes me, she was very strict with me when she practiced, and I still have the scars left by her, do you want to see ......?"
Han Fen's happiness seemed to be from the heart, Han Xuan pursed her lips, if the young lady dared to express her "like" in this way, she immediately turned her face, she turned her head to look at the other Xiaoyue Hall disciple who never spoke, "What she said is the truth?"
The disciple didn't expect someone to talk to her, as if she was very uncomfortable, and her eyes swept left and right before nodding silently.
"You two, one of you doesn't stop talking, and the other is like a mute, are you the same disciple?" Han Xuan was very interested in Xiaoyue Hall, but now he had the intention of retreating.
"Absolutely. Only Han Fen will answer the question, "But she is a disciple of the master, not dumb, and does not like to talk, what about me, I am a disciple who was almost eliminated, and I was brought out by the imperial teachers before I left the school, you see, does the imperial teacher like me very much?"
"Your martial arts are so good, you have to be eliminated?" Han Xuan was taken aback, the other party's martial arts were not only stronger than his own, but his chaotic secret skills were even more confusing.
"I love to talk, the cardinal said I didn't obey discipline, and almost threw me into the corpse pit, hehe, did you smell the smell of the corpse pit? weird, a bit like ......"
"Shut up. Han Xuan ordered angrily, the young lady in her arms trembled even more, and several soldiers nearby were peeking over here with malicious intentions, all relying on the blocking of Wu Zongheng and Long Chuanyun, so they didn't rush over.
Last night's assassination plan was not the same as it had been predicted.
Han Fen and his companions escorted the young lady out of the house, and claimed to the guards that they would send them to General Wu's residence, and passed the customs smoothly, and then everything went out of shape.
Han Xuan didn't kill Wu Zongheng as planned, and after forcing him to scream, he immediately took him out of the house, outside Long Chuanyun had already cut down a few guards, came to answer, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wu Zongheng who was still alive.
On the other side, the lotus girl pushed Shangguan Fei to Shangguan Yun, but she ran away and never appeared again.
There are also two disciples of Xiaoyue Hall, following the orders of the Imperial Master, to provoke some soldiers to mutiny, this is very easy, as long as it is said that the three young masters of Jinpeng Fort are hiding in a certain mine, and Ha Chilie was also killed by Shangguan Yun, everything will fall into place.
It turns out that the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall are not forever gloomy as ghosts, and with the command, they can do all kinds of surprising things, including gaining the trust and favor of others.
After that, these two disciples, together with Chu Nanping, who had another mission, were like the lotus girl and never appeared again.
However, the two Xiaoyue Hall disciples only had time to mobilize a small number of soldiers, and Shangguan Yun was already prepared, and immediately ordered several main exits to be closed and kill those who dissided.
Most of the soldiers were in a fog and could not figure out the facts, and before they could make the decision to participate in the mutiny, they were blocked in the hole.
Han Xuan and the others also entered the cave, originally wanting to avoid the limelight for a while, but they didn't expect the enemy to react so quickly.
The entrance to the cave was blocked with a boulder that had been prepared in advance, and then tamped with earth, and no one could open it unless it was a god.
Wu Zongheng hoped to be a petty official in peace, because he showed a certain leadership temperament in front of the rioting crowd on impulse, and was favored by the Dragon King, since then, he has often faced unexpected events, which caught him off guard every time, and this time it forced him into a life-and-death situation.
This army is composed of the Wushan tribe and a small number of mine thieves, the former is mainly loyal to the Ha family and not the Dragon King, the latter is only loyal to interests, although Wu Zongheng took over, but has not penetrated into it, a total of more than 4,000 troops, hiding hundreds of spies, although he faintly feels that something is wrong, but there is no solution at all.
When the mine was first sealed, the soldiers still regarded him as a lieutenant, but not long after, someone outside shouted, "Listen to the people inside, Ha Chilie is dead, he was killed by the Dragon King's personal bodyguard, the Lotus Girl, before Ha Chilie died, he had sworn allegiance to the Cloud King, you can make the same choice as him, kill all the people loyal to the Dragon King, and let you out." ”
This was an obvious sowing of discord, but it was effective, and the soldiers in the panic didn't even know who the Cloud King was, so they divided into factions and were eager to make a move.
Wu Zongheng could only stand up and persuade everyone not to kill each other, "Shangguan Yun will not let us out, listen, the people outside are still filling in the soil, even if there is only one person left, he will not reopen the hole." ”
"What should I do?
"I'd rather be happy. ”
"Wait for the Dragon King. This is Wu Zongheng's answer to all questions, "The Dragon King will come to save everyone, I promise, this is the Dragon King's guard captain Long Chuanyun, who came here on the orders of the Dragon King." ”
Long Chuyun nodded majestically around, indicating that his identity was real, although he hadn't seen the Dragon King for a long time, let alone accepted his orders.
The soldiers were a little more stable, and they were not in the mood to think about who they were going to be loyal to, they had only one thought: whoever rescued themselves would be the master.
Wu Zongheng gathered everyone in a relatively spacious place in the depths of the mine, lest they form a gang in private, and then walked into the crowd to answer every soldier's question.
Long Chuanyun has been following him, rarely speaking, but it has the greatest effect in stabilizing people's hearts, and the captain of the Dragon King's guard is also trapped here, and the hope of being rescued suddenly increases.
The cave did not know black and white, everyone felt that the time was long, and the uneasy emotions were like an undercurrent, one and the other, Wu Zongheng carefully observed, and said a few words of encouragement from time to time, usually ending with the arrival of the dragon king, he didn't know how long such a promise could be said.
The cave was damp, and most of the military supplies were stored outside, and in a few days, these people would starve.
Hunger is more effective than Shangguan Yun's 10,000 words in terms of sowing discord.
"What if the Dragon King loses the battle?" suddenly a voice rang out in the crowd that had been quiet for a while.
The soldiers all knew that a decisive battle was about to start outside the mountain, and if the dragon king was defeated, he would either be killed or flee, and how would he care if they lived or died.
"The dragon army will not be defeated. The dragon got up, his voice loud and unmistakable.
But there are still some people who don't believe it, "There are few dragon soldiers, and there are many Jinpeng soldiers, I heard that we are going to launch a surprise attack as a surprise soldier, and now that the strange soldiers are gone, how can the dragon army still win?"
Everyone nodded, their hope became weaker, Wu Zongheng racked his brains, but he couldn't think of anything to boost his confidence.
A soft voice suddenly came from behind him, "If the Dragon King is defeated, he will come to our rescue." ”
Mingzhen didn't know when she stopped crying and said something like this.
Wu Zongheng had a flash of inspiration, understood what she meant, and immediately said loudly: "The Dragon King has his own clever plan, he will definitely win the battle, and if he is defeated, he will also come to save everyone, why? Because we are the only army he has left." ”
There are many loopholes in this statement, even if the Dragon King wants to rescue this army, he has to pass the level of Shangguan Yun, but the panicked crowd is still relieved and regains its calm again.
Han Xuan looked at the backs of the two men and asked in a low voice: "Miss, which one do you like, Long Chuanyun is taller and more handsome, but I don't know if there is a wife at home, Wu Zongheng ......"
"If you talk nonsense, I'll ...... I'll never ignore you. Mingzhen's face was red, and she couldn't help crying again.
Wu Zong Hengguang thought about how to appease people's hearts, and ignored an important link - the torch.
Poof, a torch went out, and soon more of the fire disappeared, and by the time everyone noticed that the hole was getting darker and darker, it was too late to save the rest of the torches.
Darkness is also an excellent provocateur, Wu Zongheng just wanted to say something in advance, and a voice came from behind him, this time it was not Mingzhen, but the mouthy Han Fen, "Wow, if so many people die together, it's really spectacular, and when we go to the underworld, no ghost dares to provoke us." ”
At this moment, several more torches were extinguished, and the darkness worked together with Han Fen's strange words, and finally a soldier couldn't bear the torment, and suddenly got up and ran into the tunnel, shouting, "I want to go out! Let me out! I don't want to die!"
There could not be a worse example, and the mood that had finally stabilized exploded in an instant, and the soldiers scrambled into every tunnel, as if the exit had been opened.
"Listen to me!" Wu Zongheng's voice was drowned out in a converging shout, and even he couldn't hear it clearly.
Outside, Shangguan Yun didn't care about the lives of the thousands of people in the cave, and was hesitating whether to leave, the Dragon King would not throw himself into the net, and neither would the Lotus Girl, the only thing he could do if he stayed here was to climb to the top of the slope and watch Shangguan Jianyi lead the army to a complete victory.
The spies at the top of the slope reported that the two armies outside had lined up and that the battle was about to begin.
Shangguan Yun was very happy, and decided to wait a little longer, when the war was over, he could go directly out of Wushan from the slope of the sea, saving a lot of time.
The Dragon King just gave up, hid and prepared to make a comeback? At this time, Shangguan Yun still felt that this was not like the Dragon King's usual style.
Suddenly there was a shout outside the valley, as if someone had been attacked.
Shangguan Yun got up suddenly, jumped to a high place in a few steps and looked outside, and more than a dozen sentries were running towards him, falling one after another, with deadly arrows stuck behind them.
Finally, a sentry came close and shouted, "The enemy is coming." ”
"Who?, Dragon King?" Shangguan Yun wondered, where else could the Dragon King get an army.
"No, I don't know, it's all women...... It's all women, thousands. "The Sentinels have not recovered from the shock.
Shangguan Yun's heart suddenly moved, and he understood where his and his mistakes were, and the Dragon King still secretly prepared the power to fight back, coming from a place that no one paid attention to.
