Shengjing Noble

Chapter 535 Delivering Messages

She didn't know why, but she always felt that this place was like hell.

Fu Wuyang held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, we will be able to get ashore soon."

"it is good."

The four of them stopped talking and rowed the boat quickly forward.

After about an incense stick of time, the boat finally docked.

As soon as Su Lanyin got off the boat, she lay on the shore and retched in disgust. A guard came over with disgust in his eyes.

"Why are they so weak? How did you two choose the people? Can such a skinny person carry the ore?"

The two men quickly explained in a flattering manner: "Don't worry, this girl may look thin, but she is very strong. It took us a lot of effort to catch her."

The guard's eyes were full of suspicion: "Forget it, forget it, hurry in, the boss is still waiting."

"Yes!"

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang followed with their heads down, and were finally brought into the center of the mine.

"First, I'll take you two to meet the boss of this mine."

"Yes."

The two of them were very obedient and walked behind, coming to a very large room.

There was a kerosene lamp burning inside, making it the brightest room in the entire underground mine.

When the four people entered the door, they saw a man sitting in the main seat in front. He was wearing a mask and holding a cup of tea in his hand, tasting it carefully.

The two in front knelt on the ground and shouted: "Slave greets the master, long live the master!"

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang looked at each other, came to their senses, knelt down quickly, and said something perfunctory.

The man in the main seat was very satisfied and moved his fingers: "Get up."

This voice...

The two people in front stood up first, and the two people behind looked at each other, as if they had noticed something.

After all, this voice is so familiar.

"Two more people have been captured. Great! This is one step closer to my goal. Hahahaha..."

The man laughed arrogantly, as if he had foreseen the day when his ambitions would come true.

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang both lowered their heads, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible.

Fortunately, the man in the main seat did not look at them much. After all, they were just two insignificant slaves and not worth his attention.

"Take it down."

"Yes."

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang followed the two men out of the room and were then locked up in a very dark cell.

"You two stay here. Someone will take you to the mine tomorrow, and then you'll start working."

"Yes, if you have anything to say, tell us quickly, otherwise you won't be able to see us before you get out."

Su Lanyin asked: "Why?"

One of them explained: "Because there is a rule here that people coming down from above must leave immediately after delivering the goods. They are not allowed to stay here, otherwise they will be killed and thrown into the underground river."

Fu Wuyang analyzed: "I think they are afraid that someone will collude with them from the inside, but this is difficult."

"We'll leave first. The antidote..." The two men hesitated to speak.

"The antidote is with my personal bodyguard Xiao Han, who is in Wutong Town."

Fu Wuyang took out a token from his arms.

"Give this to him, and when I return alive, he will naturally give you two the antidote."

"This……"

"Don't worry, the poison won't take effect before then."

"Yes, we'll leave now. Bye!"

The two took the token and immediately turned around and ran out, not daring to stay any longer.

The door of the old house was closed, and Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang sat in the darkest corner.

"Did you notice that person just now?"

Su Lanyin asked in a low voice.

Fu Wuyang nodded: "I would recognize this voice even if it turned into ashes."

"It's the deposed crown prince, Fu Mingheng. It seems he hasn't given up yet and is even making weapons in private." Su Lanyin was indignant.

"I knew he wouldn't give up easily, but I didn't expect he would actually plan to abdicate. Since ancient times, those who kill their fathers and usurp the throne will be cursed and infamous for eternity."

"Someone once told me that history is written by the victors. If Fu Mingheng really succeeds, those who oppose him may be infamous forever."

"For example..."

"For example, you, Your Majesty." Su Lanyin wanted to laugh, but held it back.

Fu Wuyang was speechless: "For this, we can't let him succeed!"

"So what is your plan?"

"Originally I wanted to know where the mine was, and then find out everything inside, then escape and find the people and wipe them out in one fell swoop. But now, I suddenly want to change my plan."

"How did it change?" Su Lanyin wondered.

"Catch the leader first. If I kill Fu Mingheng right here, then everything will be over, right?"

"This... is indeed a simple and crude method, but there is a question."

"What questions?"

"How to kill?"

"Do you have any more poison?"

"Did not bring."

"You usually carry so many bottles and cans, why didn't you bring them at the critical moment?"

"Because the clothes are too torn, there is no place to put them."

"...How did you store the Night Pearl?"

"It can only hold one night-shining pearl."

"You only bring useless things!"

"What about you? Did you bring anything useful?"

"I do not have either."

"Then you still have the nerve to say that to me?"

"Didn't I tell you? Our plan was to explore the way, not to kill anyone."

"It seems we can only play it by ear."

"Well, I'm just afraid that we won't be able to get close to Fu Mingheng."

"Look for opportunities."

"What if there's no chance?"

"Then create an opportunity. If that doesn't work, we can still use the first option."

"You have a point."

"Then what do we do next?"

"sleep."

"what?"

"What? Regain your energy. Didn't they say we have to work tomorrow?"

"Oh fine."

"Lean on me, it will be more comfortable to sleep this way." Fu Wuyang turned sideways and opened his arms.

Under the circumstances at this time, Su Lanyin didn't act pretentiously and just leaned in and fell asleep.

After all, it was comfortable and warm to be next to him, so why refuse?

……

The cave was very dark. When the two men woke up from their sleep, they still felt a sense of gloom.

Little did I know, it was already daybreak outside.

Soon, a guard came and stood outside the cell holding a whip, urging loudly: "Don't sleep, both of you. Get up and follow me!"

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang were awakened, so they had to get up and follow him out of the cell and walk towards the mining area.

Compared to the place I saw last night, the mining area was brighter, with torches hanging on the walls.

They were divided into several groups, each with its own duties.

Team 1 is responsible for digging, Team 2 is responsible for carrying, and Team 3 is responsible for placing the ore in a huge basket and then pulling the rope to send the ore up.

Su Lanyin looked up and saw that it seemed to lead to a cave.

No wonder we never see anyone transporting ore in the mountains and forests. It seems that they are pulling it up directly from underground.

It’s just that they weren’t careful enough when they searched the cave before. Now that it’s daybreak and there’s movement in the mining area, they must have noticed something in the cave.

Maybe Fang Hengzhi has already discovered it.

Does that mean that they can pass messages to the higher-ups through here?
