Not long after the carriage drove, someone came in and blindfolded them, muttering, "Why didn't you faint after drinking the tea? Is the drug useless?"
Ye Zhen blinked. She and her master had long discovered that there was something wrong with the things sent by the shopkeeper, so they added spirit spring water to the tea. It was the two idiots, Dai Mei and Quan Fu, who ate steamed buns without drinking tea. She had clearly hinted to them not to eat steamed buns, but they still fainted. ♀
They didn't know where the carriage was going. They only felt that the road was getting more and more rugged. Ye Zhen bumped into Huangfu Chen several times. Fearing that she would hit the wall of the carriage, Huangfu Chen reached out to protect her and whispered, "Be careful."
"Are your hands not tied?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
Huangfu Chen smiled, "I untied them. I will tie them up later."
"…" Ye Zhen was speechless for a while. It turned out that he could tie them up whenever he wanted. Then why did he obey these people just now? "Master, do you know martial arts?"
"Yes." Huangfu Chen nodded with a smile.
Ye Zhen paused and asked in a low voice, "Can't you beat them?"
"These are just a mob." Huangfu Chen said.
In that case, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with this motley crew. Then why were they taken away? "Master, do you know where they are taking us?"
"You will know when you get there. ♀ "Huangfu Chen said.
Ye Zhen whispered, "You don't seem to be worried at all."
Huangfu Chen smiled, "Even if I am worried, I can't escape. Although I can deal with these people, I'm afraid that more people will come to catch us before we leave their village. It's better not to resist and follow them to see who dares to catch us so brazenly."
"They don't look like kidnappers." If they were kidnappers, they would be sneaky. How would they dare to open the inn and catch the guests?
"I'm afraid they are more difficult to deal with than kidnappers." Huangfu Chen whispered. Before he went into seclusion, he had lived in the Gu Family Village for a few days. The shopkeeper was still the original shopkeeper, but because of his disguise, the other party did not recognize him. However, this village was not the original one.
Ye Zhen felt a chill in her heart. She did not know what kind of situation she was about to face.
After some time, the carriage gradually slowed down. Huangfu Chen covered his eyes again and tied the rope again. He heard a few voices, and it seemed like there were quite a lot of people around.
Where were they taken to? Ye Zhen was shocked.
Someone came over and took the black cloth off their faces. The leader was smiling and fawning over a middle-aged man in a straight robe. "Mr. Qiu, what do you think of these people? They were all young and strong men who could work. ♀ "
Ye Zhen stood behind Huang Fuchen. She looked around and was shocked speechless.
This place was … There were many men in coarse clothes of the same color working around, knocking, hitting, and moving things. The black things in the frames looked like pieces of iron. There was a big hole in the mountain in the distance, and there were people going in and out of it.
"These two look like they can work. Take them to the mine first." The man in the straight robe looked gentle, but his eyes were extremely sharp. He stared at Ye Zhen and Dai Mei, then pointed to Dai Mei and said, "Take her to the female workers."
"Mr. Qiu, don't the female workers not want men?" Someone next to him asked.
"Who told you that she is a man?" Mr. Qiu snorted coldly.
The leader's eyes widened. It's actually a woman? If he knew it was a woman, he would have played with her first!
"The master came to patrol yesterday and lacks a servant. Send this to serve him." Mr. Qiu pointed to Ye Zhen and said.
Huangfu Chen immediately said, "She must be by my side."
Mr. Qiu looked up at Huangfu Chen and smiled faintly. "You have no right to make decisions here."
"Master, it's okay." Ye Zhen whispered. Even if she was inexperienced, she could see that this place was unusual. This was an iron mine! Moreover, it was not an iron mine owned by the imperial court. The person who could own such a large private mine in the Jin Kingdom and arrest so many people to work here must not be so simple.
Who had such a great ability to avoid the eyes of the imperial court and the government?
Mo Rongzhan probably didn't know that there was such a person in the Jin Kingdom under his rule. What could an iron mine be used for? Privately made weapons? Ye Zhen was a little flustered. She felt that they had inadvertently discovered some shocking secret.
Huang Fu Chen looked at Ye Zhen worriedly. If he knew the situation here, he would not have followed them here.
Ye Zhen smiled at him. She also wanted to know who was behind all this and what was the purpose of this person?
"Take her away." Mr. Qiu ordered coldly.
"Wait a minute. There are things for me in the carriage. I want to take them with me." Ye Zhen said in a deep voice. She had brought a lot of medicinal herbs out and didn't want to lose them like this.
One of the big men scolded, "Do you think I asked you to come here for sightseeing? You can take anything with you. "
Mr. Qiu motioned him not to speak, but looked at Ye Zhen coldly. "What do you want to take?"
"My medicine." Ye Zhen said.
"Go get it." Mr. Qiu ordered.
Huang Fu Chen's eyes fell on Ye Zhen all the time. He was considering whether he could escape at this time. Looking at the surrounding guards, he felt that it was still possible to leave alone, but it would be impossible to take Ye Zhen with him.
This place … I'm afraid it's not as simple as mining!
Ye Zhen's things were brought over. Mr. Qiu glanced at them and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded expressionlessly.
Mr. Qiu suddenly looked at Huang Fu Chen. "She called you master. Are you also a doctor?"
"Yes." Huang Fu Chen said lightly.
"How are your medical skills?" Mr. Qiu asked seriously.
Huang Fu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. "Not bad."
"Send the two of them to Mistress." Mr. Qiu said coldly and said to Huang Fu Chen, "If you can cure our master's illness, we can let you go."
"If you want us to treat them, you have to take them with us." Ye Zhen pointed to Dai Mei and Quan Fu.
Mr. Qiu showed an ugly smile. "If you can cure them, you can live. If you can't, all four of you will die."
Huang Fu Chen smiled faintly. "Okay."
"Come with me." Mr. Qiu had an indescribable feeling about the man with ordinary facial features in front of him. He always felt that this man seemed to be very calm and had no fear at all.
Ye Zhen and Huang Fu Chen looked at each other and at the same time set their eyes on the vast mountains.
What would they do with the iron mined from the iron mine?
