A group of shivering miners in ragged clothes huddled in a corner saw this... and knew that this might be their only chance to escape.

Several people's eyes collided, and the leader "popped" and knelt down: "Please God save us."

They pulled back their sleeves to reveal staggered whip marks on their arms. Many unhealed wounds were deeply visible to the bones. The skin and flesh in the affected areas were rotten, exuding a stench.

The rest of the people saw this and followed suit.

"We are all nearby villagers. It has been many years since we strayed into this mountain and were caught mining. Our only remaining wish in our lives is to see our family members again and pray to God for help."

"Beast!" Qi Kuo looked at the eyes full of pleading and hope, his eyebrows were sharp, he clenched his fists to suppress the violence in his heart...

Trying to make his voice gentle: "Don't be afraid! You are all my common people, and I will take you out safely."

The miners who have suffered so much torture and suffering do not dare to believe everything. They have experienced all the suffering in the world, and they no longer believe what others say casually like in the past.

But still holding on to great hope, Qi Kuo led them out of the dark and cramped mines one by one.

When the sun shone all over their bodies again, they enjoyed the long-lost sunshine. Some cried, some laughed, and some even fell down the moment they stepped out of the mine.

Qi Rui quickly walked up and tried to breathe, then shook his head at his third brother, indicating that he had already expired.

The person who was still laughing slowly stopped laughing, his eyes full of sadness: "Old Li Tou is the barefoot doctor of Xiaoping Village——"

"He is a young couple with his old wife and has a son."

"However, his son was born weak, and all the income he earned from treating villagers was used to treat his son's disease——"

"He is also the one who has persisted the longest. It has been about six years. We were beaten and seriously injured by the soldiers, and we relied on Old Li Tou, who knew some medical skills, to save our lives——"

The speaker had only a skinny face with scarlet eyes, "The only thing he cares about is his family -"

"I often say that as long as I see my wife and children again, I will die without regrets."

He knelt down sadly, half-hugged Lao Litou's still warm body and cried out: "Hope is right in front of you, why don't you hold on any longer!"

"Wake up... wake up, Lao Li."

The rest of the people gathered around him, some helped him tidy up his dirty clothes, and some closed the uncle's eyes...

For a moment, only the sobbing cries of people were left in the valley, accompanied by the sound of wind blowing into Qi Kuo's heart...

It reminded him of the soldiers who died under the sword of the enemy on the battlefield.

Their deaths are more important than Mount Tai in order to protect their country and the people.

But what about the group of people in front of me?

Qi Kuo closed his eyes forcefully and turned to leave, Jiang Dong! Hello...you are very well!

"..."

In the mine, after everyone was taken away, Luo Xi's mental power was released without reservation. The mine was very deep, and it was not difficult to see that it had been mined for many years.

She took out the finger tiger sleeve from the space and put it on her hand. She walked about three cups of tea to the place where the metallicity was the strongest...

He raised his hand... and punched him.

"Boom...boom boom boom..."

Stone chips and gravel flew everywhere, and the ore that required human tools to mine fell off the stone wall one after another under the bombardment of her punches.

Before it hit the ground, it had already been taken into space.

"..."

Qi Rui's eyelids twitched when he heard the sound of the earth shaking from the mine, and even the ground beneath his feet was trembling slightly...

Luo Xi, what on earth is she doing?

Can’t tear down the mountain?

He was about to go inside without thinking, but was stopped by Lu Yunjin who had placed his younger brother.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is mining here, do you think the local parents and officials have no idea at all?"

Qi Rui was just not doing his job properly and had a very smart mind. After hearing this, he slowly raised his head and looked at the calm Lu Yunjin: "What do you mean?"

At the same time, four big words popped into my mind: Officials protect each other.

Yes, the garrison of 500 people needs to eat, drink, and defecate, and it is impossible to hide in the mountains all the time. In addition, there are strange phenomena in the mountains...

It is impossible for the Zhongzhou prefect not to send people to investigate.

The court did not receive any news. If it were not for the protection of the officials, he would have cut off his head and used it as a bench for Jiang Dong.

"Who is the governor of Zhongzhou?" Lu Yunjin seemed to ask casually.

Qi Rui lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, he was from the fourth prince.

Compared with other princes who like to win over the powerful in the capital, the fourth prince is obviously much smarter and specializes in winning over parents and officials from all over the country.

By bribing officials from all over the country, if one day he actually rebels, his army can march forward without hindrance.

These emperors knew it.

It is said that the fourth prince is smart but not too smart. The emperor is less than forty years old. It is strange that Bengqi is so happy that his father can be happy.

Everyone said that the fourth prince was a talented man and was more suitable for inheriting the throne than the rigid and inflexible prince.

Qi Rui said that the prince is truly wise and foolish.

He never formed cliques, did whatever the emperor gave him, and never broke the rules.

He once saw the prince throwing the gold and silver beauties given to him by the officials out of the palace.

For this reason, he was often criticized for being dull and inflexible, and few officials were willing to make friends with him.

Even officials who were offended by the prince would stumble him secretly in the court.

The prince, who was regarded as inflexible in the eyes of the world, was extremely favored by the emperor. He protected him as if he were an eye-catcher. The emperor would be the first to not spare anyone who dared to bully him.

Wait... I'm thinking too far.

He remembered that the prime minister secretly took refuge in the second prince who was his successor. Why did he get involved with the fourth prince again?

Interesting... Qi Rui touched his chin and decided to share this "good news" with the second prince when he went back.

Seeing that Qi Rui wanted to understand, Lu Yunjin concealed the sly smile in his eyes, and there were some things... just clicked.

"I'm going to find Luo Xi. Keep an eye on Qi Kuo and don't let him beat everyone to death."

Qi Rui looked back and saw that his third brother was beating a deliberately left alive person until he was about to die. He rushed over and stopped the person quickly.

"Hey, dear brother! This is all evidence to overthrow the Prime Minister's Office when we go back. Don't beat people to death."

Qi Kuo's fist that was about to swing was slightly stagnant, "I have a sense of proportion."

He did have a sense of proportion, otherwise none of these soldiers and crabs would be able to withstand his punch. The death of Old Man Li made him feel uncomfortable and needed to vent.

Lu Yunjin withdrew his gaze and touched the top of Little Brother Lu's dry hair, "Wait here and don't run around."

The little guy nodded obediently, and when the elder brother disappeared, his phoenix eyes that were exactly the same as Lu Yunjin slowly dimmed.

He walked up to the miners surrounding Old Li Tou's body and raised his voice, "Uncle, uncle! Our long-term suffering cannot be in vain -"

Looking at Uncle Li's gradually cold body, his eyes turned red, "We want to avenge Uncle Li."

The rest of the people first reacted strangely, and then smiled bitterly, "If the people don't fight with the officials, what can we... do?"

It's not that they don't want justice, it's just that facing the mountains and ridges of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what can a group of ordinary people digging in the fields do?

Little Brother Luo blinked his phoenix eyes, leaned down and whispered to the group of people...

A seven-year-old child can survive in this place that eats people without spitting out their bones, and it definitely depends on a little help and luck from others!

His mental abilities...are far beyond those of a child of his age.
