"Everyone, listen carefully. From now on, all of us have to be of one mind. If you are willing to cooperate, I can guarantee that you will be brought out alive to reunite with your families. But if you dare to be disloyal and disobey my orders, I can guarantee that you will die an even uglier death than these corpses. "Yun Sheng was not very old, but at this moment, her body was emitting a terrifying aura that intimidated people.
To the ignorant and useless villagers, a leader with absolute authority was very important.
Yun Sheng's actions made every villager present feel fear from the depths of their souls.
But along with this fear came a desire to survive.
Yun Sheng's magic and her every word was like a shower of rain, gradually giving hope to these spiritually exhausted villagers.
No one dared to make a sound. They followed Liu Zi's father's instructions and lined up, supporting their families, wives, and friends to receive medicinal herbs and food.
In just one night, the order in the cave had undergone a subtle change. And this change was completely unknown to the mysterious people outside the cave.
The sun rose and set not long after Yun Sheng and the others were taken to the mining area.
"Commander, the people from Zhou Village have not been taken away. The people we sent to spy on them followed orders and did not alert the enemy. The other party is a group of masked people and we can't tell where they came from. They have a large number of flying magical beasts and they are flying towards the south of Southern Cliff Town, near Tang Yuan. " The night Yun Sheng and the others were taken away, the hunters of the Heaven Expedition Hunting Corps who were lying in ambush near Zhou Village immediately sent the news back to the inn in Southern Cliff Town.
Yun Canglang and the others had been anxiously waiting there for a few days.
"My bats have also followed those magical beasts to the mining area. With Master's intelligence, there shouldn't be any big problems. But Yun brat, what should we do? "For safety reasons, Yun Sheng ordered the clan members not to follow them.
He was several generations older than Yun Canglang and called him Yun brat. Yun Canglang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I plan to go to Marquis Jiayuan's garrison to take a look. After all, we don't have enough manpower. If we can get the military's help, I believe the chances of rescuing the villagers will be much higher." Yun Canglang was still placing his hopes on the local garrison.
He immediately headed to the Marquis of Jiayuan's encampment, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him the cold shoulder.
"I want to see your general. I am Yun Canglang. I was your general's aide in the early years." Yun Canglang reiterated his identity.
The two monkey-like guards glanced at Yun Canglang. One of them rolled his eyes and spat out a mouthful of phlegm. "Yun Canglang?! 'Reckless brat, you want to pretend to be the number one general of Zhou State, the young general of the Residence of Yun?' Take a piss and look at yourself. If you are Yun Canglang, then I am Zhou State's Martial Saint, Yun Bahe! "
Yun Canglang's blood immediately rushed to his head. If it weren't for the fact that he had already left the army, he definitely would have dealt with this guard according to military law.
He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. "Brother, whether you believe me or not, I really do have something to report to your general. It's about the missing villagers from the nearby villages."
When the two guards heard this, their eyes were filled with bewilderment. One of them said, "Wait here for a moment. I will go inside and report to the general."
The guard hurriedly entered the garrison's encampment.
"General, there is someone outside requesting an audience. This person says he is Yun Canglang. He says he has clues about the missing villagers from the nearby villages."
"Yun Canglang? What a joke. Yun Canglang is but a cripple. Why would he come to our Southern Cliff Town? He must be a swindler or a spy from an enemy country who wants to infiltrate our army. Men, listen to my orders. Beat that bandit out with military canes. "Inside the luxuriously decorated main general's tent, Marquis Jiayuan's nephew, Ni Renyi, waved his hand disdainfully.
That guard hurriedly lowered his head and accepted the order.
"General Ni, you just sent Yun Canglang out like this. Aren't you afraid that he will barge in?" Inside the main general's tent sat a man and woman.
The man and woman were dressed exquisitely and had imposing appearances. Upon closer inspection, these two were the siblings of Grand Emperor City, Xuan Wuji and Xuan Meimei.
"I've let the two of you see a joke. Who does Yun Canglang think he is? He is but a martial artist who has been stripped of his official position. If he dares to block our path to wealth, I will definitely make him regret ever stepping foot on the land of the border. "Ni Renyi's eyes flashed with a greedy light as he spoke. In front of him, there were two large pieces of resplendent purple ore that looked like crystals.
Each of the ores weighed fifty catties. If they were forged into Limitless Purple Gold Coins, the value would most likely not be less than a hundred thousand.
Ni Renyi was but a fourth rank general. Even with his uncle, the Marquis of Jiayuan, looking after him, the annual military pay that was docked did not exceed ten thousand gold coins.
How could it compare to the rewards that Grand Emperor City and that mysterious group of people gave him?
Ni Renyi was naturally happy to be able to exchange a few poor villagers for such a large sum of wealth.
"Don't worry, the two of you. I will definitely think of a way to cover up the disappearance of the villagers. However, you need to act quickly. Otherwise, if it attracts the covetous eyes of other powers, it will be impossible to hide it." Ni Renyi chuckled.
"General Ni is really sensible. If the mining of the Purple Gold Vein is successful this time, Grand Emperor City and His Majesty will definitely not treat you unfairly." Xuan Wuji despised Ni Renyi's character in his heart, but on the surface, he was full of flattery.
The siblings looked at each other, a cruel glint flashing in their eyes.
Ever since Yun Sheng and the others came to the cave, the villagers' lives had quietly changed.
That group of mysterious people would enter the cave in three batches every day to escort the miners to mine the Purple Gold Vein. Father Liu secretly arranged for the miners to go out and mine according to Yun Sheng's arrangements.
Yun Sheng stayed in the cave for a few days. Due to the timely purification and isolation of the patients, no one died of illness in the cave in the past few days. The number of people who fell ill again was also greatly reduced.
Under the coordination of Father Liu, the people who went to the mining area were all strong and healthy people. As a result, the number of people mining increased every day. Those mysterious people were also very happy.
The water and food that was distributed to the cave every day was also better than before.
Although the mysterious people did not know what had happened, they were obviously very satisfied with such an improvement.
On this day, Yun Sheng was thinking about how to enter the Purple Gold Vein and see the situation there.
"The few of you, follow me out. It's your turn to mine." A few mysterious people walked in and picked out twenty people from the cave.
"Big Brother, can we go to the mining area? He's my uncle and he's not in good health recently." While the mysterious people were picking people, Yun Sheng, Huang Que, and the others secretly exchanged glances and took the initiative to step forward.
