The two guards clearly didn't think that anyone would come from this direction, so they were really talking and laughing in a low voice. But the straight passage in front of them was at least a hundred meters long and was quite narrow. None of them could place the two gatekeepers at such a distance without making a sound. And if these two people made any movements, it would definitely alert the people inside.
Sickly Scholar silently took out an exquisite box from his chest and aimed it in front of him. With two whooshing sounds, the two Southern Border people immediately froze. The four people quickly sneaked over, Sickly Scholar was the first to flash through the door. Ye Li paused when she passed by the door. She turned her head and saw that the two people were still standing with a trace of black blood flowing out of their lips. It was clear that they were no longer breathing. Her eyes darkening, Ye Li also flashed through the door.
The inside of the door was completely different from the darkness and coldness of the passage outside. It was hot and bright inside. Not far away, there were people coming and going, and the security became much tighter. But the four of them were all above average experts, so it wasn't difficult for them to avoid these guards.
Crouching behind a barrier formed by a large rock, Han Mingxi looked outside curiously. It seemed like there was a cauldron of voices outside, and there was also the sound of iron being hammered. "What are they doing?" Sickly Scholar indifferently said, "They are forging weapons." He pointed to the distance where there were already many finished weapons. Third Secret looked and made a hand gesture to Ye Li. Ye Li understood and nodded. The weapons these people were forging weren't weapons that people of Jianghu or martial arts liked, but conventional weapons used on the battlefield. With so many people producing weapons, it was clear that they were forging weapons for a certain army.
"This isn't related to us, let's go." Sickly Scholar wasn't interested in what weapons these people were forging, the only thing he was interested in right now was the falling blue sky flower.
"Do you know where that surnamed Liang is?" Han Mingxi asked.
Sickly Scholar sneered, "He can't run away." Han Mingxi nodded, "I remember now, you poisoned him. Where's your little moth? "Sickly Scholar glanced at him coldly, got up and walked to the other side. Han Mingxi shrugged and smiled at Ye Li before following her. An San said in a low voice: "Young master, these weapons were made for a certain army in Da Chu State." Ye Li raised her eyebrows, "How do you know?" An San pointed to a row of knives not far away and said, "Nanjiang people are used to using short knives. West-Hill people's knives have thicker bodies. As for the Northern Tribes, their cavalry was the strongest. They preferred long weapons or broadswords. This type of sword is commonly used by our Da Chu State's soldiers. "
Ye Li nodded and got up to follow Han Mingxi and Sickly Scholar.
Sickly Scholar's guess wasn't wrong. This was indeed a large underground weapons factory. There were two large caverns that were busy forging weapons. Most of the blacksmiths were from the Central Plains, but there was also a portion of them from the Nanjiang. The two followed Sickly Scholar to avoid these people. They kept going down, leaving the cavern where the weapons were being forged and entering another underground cavern. Compared to the crude caverns before, this one was more like a decorated underground palace. The ground was covered with beautifully carved marble and comfortable and beautiful carpets. "Are those people dead or not?!" As the four approached, a sharp voice came from inside. Ye Li frowned. It was the voice of the wealthy merchant, Master Liang. At this time, his voice didn't carry the same pride and disdain as before. Instead, it sounded more anxious and murderous.
"Don't worry, they definitely won't be able to escape." The voice of the Luo Yi Tribe's chief, Le Jiang, sounded.
"Why didn't you send people to kill them directly!" Master Liang said with dissatisfaction, "That sickly scholar is very scary. If we don't kill him now, we will leave behind future troubles. If it wasn't for him following me, I would have already reached the Nanjiang. But no matter what, we can't shake him off! And that person surnamed Han, he obviously knows that sickly person. We definitely can't let them. No matter the price! "
"No matter the price?" Le Jiang laughed coldly and mocked, "Who's paying the price? Do you think I don't know that those people aren't simple? Even the snakes can't do anything to them. Every man in my Luo Yi Tribe is incomparably precious. How many people would we have to sacrifice to fight them? Do you think my Luo Yi Tribe has as many people as your Da Chu State and can't be killed? "
"Don't forget … …" Master Liang angrily shouted. Le Jiang said loudly, "Don't worry, I didn't forget what I should do. But it's best if you don't order me about things outside of what we agreed on. " The people inside seemed to be stunned. After a while, they heard Master Liang say, "But … … if those people escape, do you think they will let us go? I don't know about the other three, but I think you should have heard of that sickly person's reputation. He's the Third Pavilion Master of the Xiling Yanwang Chamber. "
"Why did you provoke the people of the Yanwang Chamber!" Le Jiang was clearly very angry and shouted sternly.
"How would I know?! I had just left for a few days when he mysteriously came looking for me. I didn't even dare to let him go. That person is famous for taking revenge for the smallest grievance. What could I do? "
"So you brought him along to the Southern Border!" Le Jiang gritted his teeth for a while, then snorted and said, "I know, I will send people to deal with them as soon as possible. Don't worry, the road down the mountain has already been sealed. Right now, the mountain is full of poisonous insects and snakes. Even if he is the Sickly Scholar who is good at using poison, I don't believe he can poison an entire mountain of poisonous insects and snakes! "
"Anyway, be careful. You must see his corpse. If you had killed them from the start, you wouldn't be in so much trouble now. "
Le Jiang sneered and said, "He has been following you closely. Do you think we can kill him first or he can kill you first? I will go order people to do things, you stay here first. Don't forget your things. If the master doesn't get what he wants, you know the consequences! " Master Liang's breath suddenly stopped, and he quickly said, "I know, I have already brought half of the token. Give the other half to me. "
Le Jiang snorted and said, "This originally belonged to our Southern Border."
Master Liang didn't show any weakness when it came to benefits. "The thing is in my hands, only I know how to get it."
"That was entrusted to the Liang Family by the late King of Nanzhao for safekeeping, not for you." Le Jiang said in a low voice.
"Haha, so what? You also know that it belongs to the Nanzhao Royal Family and not yours? "Master Liang laughed and said," It's already very good that I didn't give it to the Nanzhao Royal Family, isn't it? "
"Didn't we offer a higher price? If you give it to the Nanzhao King, you won't get anything other than a few words of thanks. "Le Jiang sneered.
Master Liang said, "You want the treasure, I want the money. Isn't everyone taking what they need? So, you better quickly give me the other half of the token and stop playing tricks. This mountain has already been dug up by you. Without me, you wouldn't have found the treasure. Also, don't think about killing me to silence me, don't forget that behind me is … … "
