Shengjing Noble

Chapter 534 Mine Entrance

But seeing that he had no wounds and walked in a normal manner, Su Lanyin deduced that the blood was from the remaining two survivors.

She walked forward and asked, "Did you gain anything?"

"They have already confessed that the location of the mine is not far from the cave, but it is extremely secretive, and it seems to be heavily guarded. I'm afraid we can't handle it."

"How's Shitou doing? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"It should be soon, but even if we dispatch more people, we may not be able to catch all those people in the mine."

"why?"

"They have gunpowder."

Su Lanyin frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"That won't do... If they get desperate and blow up the mine to destroy the bodies and the evidence, we won't be able to do anything. And by then, all the slaves in the mine will die."

"Yes, so I thought of another way."

"Your Majesty, let me hear what you have to say."

"Before I say anything, I want to ask if you have any slow-acting poison or something like that, so that we can control those two people and use them for our own benefit."

"Yes, there are plenty." Su Lanyin smiled and took out a medicine bottle from her bosom, then introduced it in a gentle tone, "This is a good thing. After taking one pill, your internal organs will have a kind of severe pain like muscle spasm, and the pain will continue without relief. If there is no antidote, you will die of pain. Flesh injuries may be bearable, but the pain in the internal organs is not something that ordinary people can endure."

Fu Wuyang felt a little numb when he heard this: "Okay, this is it."

"and many more!"

"what?"

"You haven't told me yet?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, I plan to pretend to be a slave and let them take me to the mines."

"Are you going alone?"

"Correct."

"This is too dangerous. If what happened in the cave is discovered, you will also be exposed."

"Don't worry, I have already transferred all our people to the cave, and asked them to disguise themselves as their original appearance and continue forging weapons."

"No, this is still a little dangerous. I'll go with you."

"Why are you, a woman, joining in the fun?"

"What's wrong with you, woman? Don't forget that you just asked me for poison. Don't you recognize my strength?"

"Of course I recognize you, but I don't want you to take any risks."

"It's already dangerous to follow you out. Don't you think it's too late to tell me this now, Your Majesty?"

"you……"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go."

Su Lanyin dragged him out despite his objections.

……

The next day.

Fu Wuyang couldn't stand Su Lanyin's nagging, coercion and inducement, and finally agreed.

The two men simply disguised themselves to look like they had scars on their faces, put on tattered clothes, and followed the two guards up the mountain with disheveled hair and dirty faces.

When passing by the cave, I saw that there were still guards guarding it as usual, and the sound of iron hammering could be heard from inside.

You can't tell that this place has just been wiped out.

"You two, lead the way quickly. I warn you not to play any tricks, otherwise you will never get the antidote." Fu Wuyang threatened harshly.

Su Lanyin pushed him and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we are not bandits, nor are we ruthless demons. As long as you complete the task, we will definitely let you go."

The two men nodded, not daring to speak, and continued to lead them forward.

After walking for less than half an hour, the two men finally stopped, and one of them pointed not far ahead.

"That's where the mine is."

Su Lanyin tiptoed to take a look, but there was nothing unusual, so she wondered, "There's nothing there, where did the mine come from?"

"Underground."

Fu Wuyang said: "Let's go."

"it is good."

The two men successfully brought Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang to a big tree.

Looking at the towering tree in front of them, the two were somewhat confused.

"Where is the entrance?"

One of them walked forward and gently lifted a patch of dense vines with his hand, revealing a tree hole that was only big enough for one person to enter and exit.

"This is the entrance."

"You go in first."

"it is good."

The two of them bent over and went in first, followed closely by Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang.

It was very dark inside, but fortunately there was a night-shining pearl that illuminated the scene inside the tree hole.

"No! Turn it off!"

One of them said immediately.

"What's wrong?" Su Lanyin asked puzzledly.

"There's a mine down there, and they'll find the light."

"What's wrong with the light? Didn't you bring torches when you came in?"

"They don't allow torches because this is a tree hole and they are afraid that the entrance will be set on fire, and they are also worried about exposing their position."

"Oh, I see. I'll just hide."

Su Lanyin quickly put the night pearl into her arms.

"But it's so dark, how can we get there?"

"Follow us closely and don't lose your focus, or you'll fall easily. This is very high and we'll need to climb a ladder later."

"it is good."

After groping my way forward, I finally came to a downward ladder.

Fu Wuyang reminded him, "You are the last one in line. I will get off in front of you. Even if you fall down accidentally, I will catch you. In short, you must be careful."

"it is good."

The group climbed down the ladder for a long time before finally stepping on the ground.

I didn't notice it when I was on top, but as soon as I landed I felt my legs going weak.

Su Lanyin couldn't help but worry. If she really wanted to rescue the people inside, it would be very difficult.

Not to mention how many people are guarding here, just looking at this exit, she and Fu Wuyang don’t know how to escape.

As if sensing her anxiety, Fu Wuyang said, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

"Ah."

Su Lanyin nodded, not daring to say anything more for fear of affecting the confidence of the two people.

"There's still a little distance ahead, let's go."

"Ah."

The four men continued to move forward and met a guard. After explaining the situation, they were not stopped.

Soon, they arrived at the next checkpoint.

It turned out to be a huge underground river, and the water was very fast, and no one knew where it would flow.

“Why is this so complicated?”

"There's no way. If the route was simple, those slaves would have found a way to escape long ago."

"Yes, after all, miners need to find some strong young men, and they can't be locked in cells like in the caves, so they can only set the entrance as far away as possible."

The two people explained as they walked.

Then they came to a place that looked like a ferry.

After showing the token to the guard, I was given a small boat that looked like it could only carry four people at most.

"Come on board."

"This river is quite fast, you must sit tight."

Su Lanyin sat with Fu Wuyang with a nervous mood. She held the boat nervously, and was extremely nervous.

"Are you okay?"

“I just find this place depressing.”
