ten mile river moon

The boat continued to move forward in the dark, Liu Chengyue only felt that the waterway seemed to be getting wider as it went inward, and after another quarter of an hour, a light appeared in front of it.Liu Chengyue and Wen Ting standing at the bow were a little excited, while Jiang Lie and Ye Ling at the stern continued to row.

As he got closer, Liu Chengyue realized that the light was from the torches stuck on the stone walls on both sides.And there are more torches ahead.Apparently, Jiang Lie and Ye Ling at the stern also noticed that the speed of the ship accelerated a lot.I don't know if it is Liu Chengyue's illusion, it seems that the water surface is getting shallower and shallower, but after a while, Liu Chengyue and Wen Ting standing at the bow of the boat found that the waterway ahead has come to an end.

A row of stone steps extends underwater, and beside it is a flat passage. Judging from the traces left by heavy objects being dragged across it, this should be a passage specially left for the convenience of transporting the coffin away.

A group of people tied the boat to the nearby rock wall and walked forward along the stone steps. The stone steps were very slippery, and the rock wall above their heads dripped water from time to time.No one spoke, everyone walked forward in silence, Ye Ling and Jiang Lie were in front and the other behind, protecting Liu Chengyue and Wen Ting in the middle.

After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, everyone could gradually hear the sound of tools hitting the stone wall, but strangely, they didn't hear anyone speaking.Liu Chengyue knew that during this kind of heavy physical labor, the workers usually release the pressure by chanting while making their rhythm more regular, but here there is no human voice except for the sound of knocking on the stone wall.

Soon, after going around a bend, everyone saw the scene inside.I saw hundreds of workers wielding big hammers or sharp chisels to dig out the ore from the stone wall, and then put them in wheelbarrows, and then some workers pulled these wheelbarrows away.

The three of them who were going to hide to avoid being discovered were stopped by Wen Ting. Liu Chengyue looked at Wen Ting strangely, and Wen Ting said coldly: "Look at them carefully."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at the workers who were working together. They were shocked by the scene before them. They didn't pay special attention to the workers who were working. Now Liu Chengyue took a closer look and realized that these workers seemed to have no consciousness of their own. repeating his actions.It's like a robot that has been implanted with a program. It can't speak, has no consciousness, and only knows how to work.

Liu Chengyue looked at these puppet-like people in front of her, feeling cold in her heart, and looked at Wen Ting, "They... what's wrong?"

"It should be because of a Gu. Ordinary people can't turn people into this way, unless they are manipulated by Gu, or it is called soul-stirring in the world, but I don't know if there is such a mysterious thing like soul-stirring. Not to mention being used on these people, so they should have been bewitched." Wen Ting's words were cold, although he did not consider himself a person with the ambition to save the world by hanging the pot, but as a The doctor, seeing so many ordinary people being tortured like this, still feels a little angry. Ten thousand deaths of the people behind this are not enough to apologize!

Everyone was a little indignant, and Liu Chengyue, as a young man who had received the baptism of egalitarianism in modern society, hated this kind of behavior that regarded life as nothing. "Then can they be saved?" Liu Chengyue looked at Wen Ting.

Wen Ting looked ahead, and said lightly: "I'm not sure yet, I need to know what kind of Gu is among them."

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Liu Chengyue was still a little disappointed knowing such an uncertain answer. The workers here estimated that there were hundreds of people, so many lives were lost before his eyes, and Liu Chengyue could not remain indifferent.

Because these workers only knew how to do their own work, they turned a blind eye to Liu Chengyue. They passed through the group without any pressure and continued to move forward.

At this time, Liu Chengyue has more time to look at the place where they are. According to the current situation, they should be at the bottom of the mine, and the workers are digging up and down the side bit by bit. There is no doubt that this kind of mining The method is very different from the current mine mining method. It can be seen that the people behind this have spent a lot of effort in order to quietly hollow out the mine.

The space at the bottom of this mine is very large, at least Liu Chengyue can't see the end at a glance, and what the workers quarried from the rock wall is the gray-brown iron ore that they saw after opening the coffin in the border town.Although she had already made some calculations in her heart, when she suddenly saw such a large mine, Liu Chengyue was still amazed at the guts of the people behind it. If so many ores were used to smelt iron, it would definitely be enough to support a mine. The weapons of tens of thousands of troops use iron!

It's no wonder Liu Chengyue thinks so. It's almost impossible for a private individual to mine alone, unless there is a collusion between the government and businessmen, or there are powerful enough people, and powerful people generally don't lack money, so that they can risk extermination of the nine clans The risk of mining mines privately, or iron ore, is definitely to obtain greater power, such as imperial power.

If someone really raised soldiers behind their backs, then this mine would be like a tiger with wings added. If there is another golden mountain, it will be invincible!Liu Chengyue thought jokingly.

But when Liu Chengyue walked through another bend with the others and saw another scene in front of her, Liu Chengyue couldn't help but wonder if she was a crow's mouth, who would come here for whatever she said? !

In front of everyone, there was still a group of workers mining, but the ore they were mining was different from what they had just seen.On the rock wall, you can still see some golden things shining faintly under the light of the torches on the rock wall. The four of them are not ignorant people, and they can get a general idea after seeing this situation.

Although Wen Ting didn't know what the huge iron mine just now was, but if he didn't know this, unless he was blind and looked around with wide eyes, Wen Ting sighed: "I'm afraid the people behind this really ate a bear's heart and a leopard." Are you brave? How dare you get involved?!"

The other three deeply agreed with this point of view. Liu Chengyue watched so many gold mines being mined and then transported away in a wheelbarrow, her heart was dying of pain. That was gold. Hey, as an older homeboy who had never been rich Diaosi, this is the first time Liu Chengyue has seen so much money, but none of it belongs to her... Just thinking about it makes her heart tired.

The four continued to walk forward, and soon came to a palace-like place, and the sound of people talking was coming from inside.Everyone stopped in tacit understanding, held their breath and concentrated, and eavesdropped on the words of the people inside.

"My lord hopes that these two mines will be completed in one year." A thick man's voice said.

"My lord, this is probably a bit difficult. More than 300 people have started construction on the two mines, but even so, judging from the current speed, it will still take at least two years to complete the mining!" Another hoarse voice was somewhat said worriedly.

"Then add more workers. In short, everyone will withdraw from Northern Chu within a year. This is what the Lord wants. If you can't do it, you will know the consequences yourself!"

"Yes, yes, the little one understands."

After a while, there was the sound of two people's footsteps, and it sounded like they were coming this way!Liu Chengyue was so frightened that she was about to run away, but was suddenly dragged by a pair of hands to the side of the bracket. There were a lot of baskets and other tools piled up on the bracket, and there was more than enough space for two people to hide behind.

Liu Chengyue breathed a sigh of relief, but after the nerves were relaxed, the touch on the waist became more obvious, and she turned her head slowly, and met Jiang Lie's handsome face, oh my god, are you going to let Yan control live? !Is it really a man to be so handsome as a man?Liu Chengyue was already so caught up in the beauty of the person close to her that she didn't even notice that this person was her "mortal enemy" Jiang Lie.

Jiang Lie looked at Liu Chengyue's demented face, frowned slightly, and wanted to throw this convulsion monster and bastard out, but hearing footsteps getting closer, Jiang Lie still held back.And Liu Chengyue only reacted at this time, her nerves collapsed again, and she prayed that these two people could leave quickly, but the more anxious they were, the more likely they were to make mistakes. They were all surrounded by the stench.

Liu Chengyue covered her mouth and her cheeks were blushing, she looked like she was about to cry immediately, who could tell him why she could burst out with a single fart at such a critical moment, she was going to be stupid, okay? ? !And it's still in front of Jiang Lie, it's almost ashamed to be thrown into the 21st century.

As for the two people walking outside, one of them seemed to hear something and stopped immediately.Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie stopped when they heard the footsteps outside, and their whole bodies tensed up. Liu Chengyue covered his mouth and buried his head on Jiang Lie's shoulder, as if he could escape like this.And Jiang Lie just looked down at the hairy head on his shoulders, and continued to look outside with full vigilance. At this time, Jiang Lie was no longer in the mood to care about Liu Chengyue.

Another person outside looked at the man suspiciously, "My lord?"

The man looked at the brackets on both sides with some doubts. There seemed to be nothing unusual. Could it be that he heard it wrong?Just as he was hesitating whether to go to the back of the bracket, a worker pushed a wheelbarrow on the road next to the bracket, without even looking at Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie in the bracket, and walked past the two people outside.I don't know if it was because of the broken shoes, but the man made a slight clicking sound every time he took a step, which sounded very similar to Liu Chengyue's masterpiece just now.

The man frowned slightly, and it seemed that he was suspicious, so the two walked outside without stopping any longer.After the two left, Jiang Lie tore off Liu Chengyue hanging on his body, patted the clothes on his body and walked out, Ye Ling and Wen Ting also came out from the bracket on the other side, Looking at Jiang Lie with some doubts, where is Liu Chengyue?

After a while, Liu Chengyue slowly came out of the bracket, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were full of tears, and her clothes were a little messy.Such a scene almost scared Wen Ting away, and he secretly glanced at Jiang Lie, which was very meaningful, the hero is really in a good mood!In such a situation, you can't forget that, you are simply a genius!Jiang Lie ignored it and looked at Liu Chengyue sharply.

Facing Jiang Lie's gaze, Liu Chengyue felt so emboldened for the first time, and murmured, "I'm sorry..."

Although the voice was not much louder than a mosquito, the other people present were all accompanied by martial arts, so they all heard Liu Chengyue's apology.

Wen Ting looked at Jiang Lie condemningly, and then turned his head to look at Liu Chengyue with hatred, "Why are you apologizing? It's obviously his fault, and he should be the one to apologize?!"

Liu Chengyue froze, how did Wen Ting know the stupid thing she did?Then I realized why I didn't have to apologize, but Jiang Lie apologized?While the confused Liu Chengyue was still sorting out her thoughts, Jiang Lie continued to walk forward without even looking at the two of them.

Seeing this, Wen Ting couldn't stand it anymore, and complained to Liu Chengyue: "You should stay away from this kind of person, and you are not bad, although I can't tell you any advantages, but at least you have a pretty face, Jiang Lie That kind of person doesn't know how to be blessed when he is blessed..."

Liu Chengyue felt something was wrong when she first heard what Wen Ting said. Hearing this, she was already in Sparta, "Ah? What are you talking about?!"

"Don't be shy, don't feel embarrassed or afraid to face anything, for people like Jiang Lie, it's good for you to leave early..." Wen Ting continued to quack.

But Liu Chengyue already understood a little bit, and interrupted him: "So why do you think I apologized to him?"

Wen Ting continued: "That's right, why are you apologizing to him? You don't need it at all!"

Liu Chengyue: ...Why does it feel like it doesn't make any sense, "So what do you think happened to me and him?"

Wen Ting actually blushed a little!Then she babbled shyly in Liu Chengyue's ear. After listening to it, Liu Chengyue felt that the sky was thundering, and she was smashed to the core. Why is this person's brain power so invincible! ! !

Although the matter of farting at a critical moment is black history or something, but in order to stop Wen Ting, an unreliable person, from continuing to play, Liu Chengyue had no choice but to explain the beginning, development, climax and end of the matter in this way.

Wen Ting was a little stunned after hearing this, "So you really have nothing else to do?" Wen Ting asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Sure and very sure, no!" Liu Chengyue said seriously.

Then watching Wen Ting continue to walk behind Ye Ling and Jiang Lie as if he had lost his soul, Liu Chengyue was a little puzzled, why did this person change so much before and after?Didn't you still persuade yourself to leave Jiang Lie just now?Why does he seem to have lost his soul at this time? Could it be that he is looking forward to being with Jiang Lie?

Think about if you were with Jiang Lie, Liu Chengyue's face would turn red suspiciously, and then think of the expressionless Jiang Lie, Liu Chengyue gave up, facial paralysis or something, usually either black-bellied or ghostly animal, I am not trembling M, there is no need to ask for guilt.

And even if you're a gay guy, it's shameful, you can't throw yourself out when you meet a man.And many years later, Liu Chengyue, who had just finished a certain bed exercise, lay on Jiang Lie's body, and suddenly thought of what she was thinking at this time. Just pouring myself on such a "casual man" and mourning silently, I can't help it even if my eyes are so bad.

Of course, that's all for later. Now Liu Chengyue is following Jiang Lie, Ye Ling and Wen Ting, continuing to walk through the bottom of this huge mountain range.This time, everyone hardly encountered any danger, and soon saw a cave entrance from a distance, and not far from the cave entrance, there was a flowing underground river. It seemed that the underground river should have been diverted. As if appearing out of thin air, passing through this mountain range.On the other side of the hole, a vacant lot was specially excavated, and hundreds of coffins were piled up on the vacant lot like this, which looked scary.

Liu Chengyue guessed that the mined ore would be put into coffins, and then thrown directly into the underground river.There should be a water outlet nearby. As long as someone is sent to pull the coffin ashore, the ore can be secretly transported away. As for the method, this will not be known until the case is solved.

However, Liu Chengyue believed that the time to solve the case would be soon, and there should be a secret exit outside the cave. As for where the coffin went after being thrown into the dark river, Liu Chengyue looked at Wen Ting: "Are your bugs afraid of water?"

It was only then that Wen Ting remembered that he came here to find his little baby, and he had put the female worm back into the bottle when he landed before, and now he took it out again.As soon as she took it out, the female worm crawled directly to the coffin, and finally Wen Ting got her little baby back as she wished.Only then did he answer Liu Chengyue's question, "Do you want to continue using this method to find out where these coffins are going?"

Liu Chengyue nodded, if she didn't know the final whereabouts of these ores, then the case would not be considered solved.The people behind this don’t know what they did with these ores, and they don’t know their identities. It is estimated that the emperor will not be satisfied with this, and it has not yet been determined whether these ores eventually flowed to the South Vietnam. These issues must be found out. The answer can only be known after the ore finally goes.

Wen Ting bowed his head and pondered for a moment, agreed with Liu Chengyue, and then put the unheated baby back into the coffin. Depending on the situation, these coffins should be thrown into the dark river tonight. If you are lucky, they should be ready tomorrow. Know where the coffin is.

When a group of people walked out of the cave, they could see mountains and mountains everywhere at a glance. There was really no decent road outside, only winding and winding trails.

It seems that this place is really remote enough, it's really hard for those people to find mines in this kind of place, and they keep arresting people here.But thinking of the workers inside who are still working tirelessly and unconsciously, and thinking about the conversation between the two people just now, Liu Chengyue thought that the action must be accelerated, but it's a pity that he didn't know how many people the other party had just now, so he didn't If he dared to act rashly, if he knew that there were only two people on the other side, he would have to take those two people down even if he tried his best, not to mention that there was Jiang Lie with world-class martial arts and Ye Ling, the deputy captain of the palace guard.

But it's too late to say anything now, so I can only go down the mountain quickly, take the badge to dispatch troops, first seal this place, then wait for the rabbit, capture the two people, and finally find out the whereabouts of the ore, only in this way can the case be solved .
