Chapter 156 What's inside?
"If the people were not allowed to transport the food from the city, how could Bai Boyuan lead his troops to Yinshan to find the missing people and die in the ambush we carefully arranged?"
"You Dongling people are so stupid. We just promised to sell this batch of grain at a low price, so someone will cooperate with us inside and outside."
"We can easily take Pingcheng by plotting the Bai family army clearly and not leaving any one left."
"For a mere hundred thousand stones of food, the lives of 80,000 soldiers were sacrificed. Otherwise, why did your Dongling national strength decline every day? Isn't it because you Dongling people are stupid?"
"At that time, we annihilated 60,000 Bai family troops in Yinshan Valley with 20,000 people. Eliminate those casualties, each of the remaining soldiers took away the things in the mine a little, and the value they obtained could buy millions of stones of food.
.”
"If they knew that the things in this mine would be worth a thousand times more than the hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, I'm afraid those lackeys would be so angry that they vomited blood?"
Bai Ming asked: "Is this a salt mine?"
The man snorted coldly: "That's right."
Bai Ming pointed directly at the tip of his sword: "Next, are you going to say the names of those lackeys?"
The man had no words, but his hands holding the sword became tighter and tighter.
Judging from the man's reaction, Bai Mingwei became more determined in his heart's guess--the man deliberately revealed these news, but in fact he was misleading her.
She believes that whether it is food or this mineral, there are transactions between the ghosts in the Dongling Mountains and the people of Beiyan.
Because salt mines are a very important treasury income for Dongling, the Dongling imperial court strictly controlled the salt mines.
Except for the departments designated by the court, even the emperor's sons were not qualified to pick salt privately.
How could the people of Northern Yan think of taking the risk of climbing along the rope to this corner to pick salt from a high cliff?
It must be someone who sold the salt mine to the people of Beiyan. When Beiyan, which had scarce salt, confirmed the value of the mineral deposit, he simply occupied the five cities for the convenience of mining.
As for the food, perhaps, as this man said, it was just something used to buy away dogs.
After all, Dongling is so big, how could there be only one dog that can collude with the enemy and treason?
Who says that the person behind the salt mine must be the same as the person behind the grain?
But these are just Bai Mingwei's guesses, because there are too few clues currently in hand, and the truth behind them needs to be slowly found out.
But what is certain is that the man must have his intentions when he said this.
Whether it is to confuse the public or have other purposes, it is not a reason to stop Bai Mingwei from taking action.
The man shook the sword in his hand: "Looking at the expression of Miss Bai, do you not believe me?"
Bai Mingwei said: "Is it important to believe it or not? But how could you bear to destroy the mine that you have worked so hard to get? "
The man said: "We can't get anything cheaper than Dongling. Although it has been mined almost all, we Beiyan just want you to be unable to pick up the scum of Dongling!"
"A coincidence, I also like to let some people who don't know what they are, even the corpse cannot be picked up." The situation around was already visible to Bai Mingwei during the conversation.
So Bai Mingwei didn't talk nonsense anymore.
She held the hilt of the sword with both hands, raised the sword high, poured the internal strength into it, and then slashed vertically.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the man was knocked out by the air wave and smashed hard on the huge rock. Then he fell to the ground and vomited blood.
He pointed at Bai Mingwei in disbelief: "You...you were so embarrassed when you first met!"
Bai Mingwei did not respond and suddenly flashed in front of the man and stabbed him with a sword.
Without any hesitation, she quickly killed the man's subordinates.
First, the person who poured tinder in the hole, and then the person who surrounded her.
One by one, although the process was not easy, all of this group of people were slashed under the sword by Bai Ming.
It was not until the last person who wanted to throw flint into the mine that Bai Mingwei tore off the cloth strip of his clothes and wrapped the two scars on his legs and arms.
However, Bai Mingwei was not in a hurry to enter the pit. She penetrated the sword into the soil, pressed her hands on the hilt of the sword, and stared at the entrance of the cave.
When she came here, she saw only the man and his subordinates. There was not even a guard at the entrance of the mine cave, which was really unreasonable.
In order to avoid fraud, she did not rush in.
Standing outside the cave and waiting for a while, someone came out of it, looking like the guard of the pit.
After smelling the turbid oil on the wooden rack, they were stunned at first, and then quickly attacked Bai Ming.
About a dozen people were all cut by Bai Mingwei under the sword.
Bai Mingwei stepped on a survivor's chest hard and asked, "How many of you are there in total?"
The man sneered, then his mouth was filled with blood and he immediately lost his breath.
Bai Mingwei kicked the man away and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
She was not sure if the missing people were inside, but in order to find out the situation, she decided to go and take a look.
The little white marten that had been hiding in her clothes immediately came out, grabbed her ear and shook her head desperately.
Bai Mingwei didn't know what the little white mink wanted to express, so he asked tentatively: "Can't I go in?"
The little white mink kept nodding, as if responding to Bai Mingwei's question.
Bai Mingwei asked again: "It's very dangerous inside?"
The little white marten nodded desperately again.
Bai Mingwei stopped. This little hairball was sent by Feng Qingchen to protect her. Just now, she fought with so many people and the hairball could sleep soundly.
Now she was about to enter the mine, but the little hair ball was stopping her. It seemed that it was indeed dangerous inside.
However, Bai Mingwei couldn't understand Diao's words, so he could only ask questions to the little white Diao to judge the situation.
"Is it because there are a lot of bad people inside, so I can't go in?"
The little white marquis shook his head and slapped.
Bai Mingwei asked again: "It's because there are things inside that will kill me, such as poisonous gas, poisonous substances, poisonous..."
The little white mink patted Bai Mingwei's face with his claws and shook his head again.
Bai Mingwei was puzzled: "What exactly is there? Why did you stop me from entering?"
The little white mink stood on Bai Mingwei's shoulder and kept gesturing. It first raised its two small claws high, then put them down vigorously, and then stared at Bai Mingwei, looking "Do you fool understand?"
” expression.
Bai Ming frowned slightly: "You mean, is this hole going to be a bed?"
The little white mink nodded desperately.
Bai Mingwei asked again: "Are the people in there?"
The little white marten kept nodding.
Bai Mingwei immediately threw the little white marten away: "Don't follow me!"
As he said that, Bai Mingwei entered the cave without hesitation.
The dim mine cave is small and cramped, only a little taller than her.
After a distance of not seeing your fingers, the torch hanging on the wall of the cave illuminated the appearance of the cave.
It seemed that because of the rush to mine, the mine was very rough and the sound of digging came from deep.
Not far ahead of her, there was a large space with tables, chairs and other supplies. The tilted wine pot on the table was still emitting the aroma of wine.
It can be seen that the dozen people who have just left are squatting here.
Bai Ming clenched the sword in his hand and quickly walked into the depths of the pit.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of her, and the little white marten rushed to her, as if leading the way for her.
