The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

In this way, Ye Buhuo, Hua Wuke and others followed Chen Ping and left Bufeng Village.

After leaving the village, Chen Ping led everyone around in the mountains.

Finally we arrived at Dongshantou in the evening.

Dongshantou is inside a mountain, and the way in is very complicated.

Under the leadership of Chen Ping, the four people entered the cave smoothly.

You can't see it from the outside, but once you go in you'll find that the cave is very spacious.

It was circling downwards in circles.

"Feng Da, I'll leave these two newcomers to you."

"Feng Er, arrange for these two women to go to the kitchen, and let the two young and strong ones come out to work."

After arranging the four people, Chen Ping no longer cared about them.

Feng Da walked over and looked Ye Buhuo and Ye Yi up and down.

Although these two men were covered in dust, they didn't look like bandits at all.

Feng Da was a little confused, but he didn't care too much and led the two of them down the stone stairs.

As he walked, Ye Buhuo gradually heard a faint tinkling sound coming from deep in the cave.

And according to common sense, it should be cooler underground than on the ground.

But the further we went down, the hotter it got.

Finally, with the help of the torches on the stone wall.

Ye Buhuo saw clearly the scene deep in the cave.

Just as I guessed, Ye Chuji was indeed privately forging weapons.

A dark light flashed in Ye Buhuo's eyes.

"You two, just clean up this rubble here."

General Feng and Ye Buhuo were arranged on the bottom level, which was where the iron ore was mined.

Once the iron ore is mined, it will be transported to the next level for the blacksmiths to make weapons for building the city.

When Ye Buhuo and Ye Yi were taken away by Feng Da, Hua Wuke and Qingzhu also followed Feng Er to the kitchen.

"You two will be responsible for the food here from now on."

"Hurry up, it's almost time for dinner."

After making arrangements for Hua Wu Ke and Qing Zhu, Feng Er took the two young men who were originally in the kitchen to the bottom of the cave.

After Feng Er left, Hua Wu Ke and Qing Zhu started to move.

Fortunately, the people in the kitchen had already prepared dinner for the managers, so Hua Wu Ke and the others only needed to cook some food for the slaves.

During the march, Hua Wu Ke saw the soldiers cooking.

Generally, dried meat and vegetables are cooked together to make a pot of vegetable and meat soup.

The meat here is for the manager, so Hua Wu Ke cooked a pot of vegetable soup, which was considered dinner.

Then, Hua Wu Ke took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve.

I sprinkled a little bit of the powder into my vegetable soup, and the rest went into my more substantial meals.

After everything was ready, Hua Wu Ke walked out of the kitchen carrying the plate.

As soon as Hua Wu Ke came out of the kitchen, he was stopped.

"where to?"

The man guarding the door asked.

"Send food to the steward."

Hua Wu Ke replied.

The person at the door took the tray and sent Hua Wu Ke back to the kitchen.

And warned her not to wander without orders.

Hua Wu Ke obediently returned to the kitchen.

After a while, the laborers at the bottom of the cave came into the kitchen with their bowls and each scooped some brown rice and vegetable soup.

Hua Wu Ke and Qing Zhu were holding bowls in the kitchen, stuffing mouthfuls of brown rice into their mouths from time to time.

Pretend to eat seriously.

After waiting for a while, Hua Wu Ke and Qing Zhu's eyes met.

The two of them estimated that the time was about right.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen cautiously.

When I reached the door, the gatekeeper was a little shaky and looked like he was about to fall.

Qingzhu used his hand as a blade and chopped him on the back of the neck.

The gatekeeper fell to the ground without any reaction.

Hua Wu Ke and Qing Zhu split into two groups to check the cave.

When he reached a stone staircase, Hua Wu Ke happened to meet Ye Buhuo and Ye Yi who were coming out of the cave.

Seeing Hua Wu Ke appearing in front of him in good health, Ye Buhuo felt calm.

Ye Yi walked in the direction that Qingzhu was investigating, while Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke checked room by room to see where the people in charge were.

There was no one in the first room, and it contained some tools used for mining.

There was no one in the second room either, and there were several large boxes inside.

The box has the mark of the Night Kingdom royal family on it.

Ye Buhuo walked in and opened the box.

It turned out to be the lost military pay and rations!

"What to do with these?"

Hua Wu Ke asked.

"We sent out a signal when we left Fengzhai. Ye Er will be here with his men soon."

When being taken out of Bufengzhai by Chen Ping, Ye Buhuo handed Heizi a flare.

As soon as the people from Dongshantou left, Heizi pulled the signal flare.

Ye Buhuo closed the box and prepared to continue searching other rooms.

Suddenly Chen Ping's voice was heard.

"Arrange a few people to carry these things downstairs, and when the prince's men arrive, give them these and the newly forged weapons to take away."

Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke were listening to Chen Ping's words in the cave, and they looked at each other silently.

It turned out that Ye Chuji was the one causing trouble!

As Chen Ping was talking outside, he stuck his head in to check if there was anything unusual in the room.

I didn't expect that someone didn't get drugged.

Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke quickly hid in a corner, avoiding sight.

Not long after, Chen Ping left.

After waiting for a while, Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke walked out of the house.

Just as they reached the door, several people suddenly jumped out and pointed knives at them.

"Not allowed to move!"

As soon as Chen Ping left the cave where Ye Buhuo and his men were, he found the drugged and unconscious laborers.

At that time, I thought the laborer was just tired.

Chen Ping whipped the laborer with a whip, and instead of waking up, the laborer fell into a deep sleep.

No wonder he always felt that there was someone in the cave just now.

Chen Ping then realized that something bad had happened and hurried to call his accomplices.

Coincidentally, everyone was reviewing the achievements of the past period of time today and did not have time to have dinner, so they did not get drugged.

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.

"Who the hell are you?"

Hua Wu Ke frowned.

It seems that these people in front of me are the ones in charge, and none of them has been drugged.

Ye Buhuo looked at the people in front of him coldly.

Judging from the way they hold the knives, they only know the basics.

Pulling Hua Wu Ke behind him, Ye Buhuo directly attacked the person closest to him.

He kicked him on the wrist, snatched his knife, and swung it with ease, leaving red marks on the arms of several people nearby.

A fight inevitably made some noise.

When Ye Yi and Qing Zhu came over following the sound, Chen Ping and others had already collapsed on the ground wailing.

"Where will the things be transported to..."

Before Ye Buhuo could finish his question, Chen Ping's eyes suddenly widened and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

No breath.

Hua Wu Ke hurriedly checked the remaining people, and they all died in the same way.

Suddenly, the cave began to vibrate.

The huge rock on the top of the cave broke loose and fell heavily to the ground.

Ye Buhuo hugged Hua Wuke around the waist and jumped out of the cave in a few steps.

Just as the four of them came out, the cave collapsed with a loud bang.

The overwhelming dust forced the four people to unable to open their eyes.
