Chapter 7 (1/2)
Nie dust and Zifeng went to sleep in the depth of the mine at night as usual. Processing slaves, generally will sleep in the depth of the mine, this is to avoid monster attack and kill.
The reason why the imperial guards did not restrict them was that they were not afraid of their escape, because the surrounding area of the mine was a wilderness with many monsters and beasts, which were very lethal to human beings. These slaves were sealed off and fled to death.
Nie dust and purple wind, as usual, deep sleep!
The mouth of the cave, the mummy of the imperial hand, is exposed on the gravel. There are two teeth marks on its neck. The hole is very deep: there are countless scratch marks on its body.
Nie Chen and his wife have completely disguised the death of the Yu Shou as a result of the bloody baton's sneak attack. Even if they look at it, they can't see the clue. They think that the tragedy disguised is the fact.
Time in the darkness of the night, gradually passing
The sky light scattered into the cave, but at dawn the next day, Nie Chen and they still did not wake up, so someone came to the mine to check.
When the light of the day appeared, every one of them had to report to him. However, it was almost daybreak and the dead imperial hand did not report to him. It was estimated that the imperial commander attached great importance to it.
After all, there are always demons attacking here, and accidents may happen at any time. Yushou is also a member of Qingyun sect and should be protected by everyone, so you should be given your own protection. Except for slaves, the death of every disciple of Qingyun sect is a great event.
Because Qingyun Zong attached great importance to the mines, there were strict rules here. No matter slaves, imperial hands, or even chief officials, there were regulations that must be observed. If they broke the rules and disturbed the mining, they would be severely punished.
The imperial commander sent people around to summon him, but he didn't find the whereabouts of the disappeared imperial hand. Therefore, two imperial commanders and three imperial hands were sent out and finally came to the mine to look for it.
The five men, only at the entrance of the cave, saw the corpse lying on the ground and let out a heavy sigh full of fear.
”It's it. The bloody baton comes again. Damn it!” An imperial commander's face was full of anger.
”There are still people in the cave!” Another imperial commander was surprised, five people immediately into the deep mine, until the end, they saw Nie dust and purple wind, curled up on the straw mat, sleepy.
”How can they be ok?” An imperial hand was surprised to see Qin Chen and Qin Chen in deep sleep.
”You get up?” An imperial hand comes forward, kicks up Nie dust, and Zifeng.
However, Nie Chen and they both jumped up in a moment as soon as they were awakened. They did not look at the people in front of them. Instead, they habitually took up the hammers and baskets around them and went to the stone wall not far away, and they were about to dig.
”Stop, stinking slave!” One of the guards yelled.
Nie Chen and his wife turned around with a surprised expression on their faces. Judging from their clothes, they knew that there were three imperial hands and two royal governors.
He immediately bowed down to show the ceremony. As before, he said in unison: ”Pei Nu has met two imperial officials and three imperial officials.”
”Well, you've been sleeping here last night?” A royal guard snorted coldly.
”Yes, we stayed deep in the mine, never went out, and after processing, we went to sleep.” Purple wind respectfully said: ”these, are our harvest last night, our royal hand said, these can be exchanged for a full meal!”
”Why, Lord Yushou, why didn't you come to call me Nie dust is surprised to ask a way, ”do not know everybody adult drives to arrive, is what rule we violate to return to set?”
Nie Chen's body trembled, and his face showed the color of panic. He retreated directly, with a look of fear in his eyes, and looked at the five people in front of him.
Zifeng also shivered and began to tremble
”Could you hear anything outside last night?” A royal tube asked sternly, which made Nie Chen tremble even more.
”We've been concentrating on our work, and when we've finished we've gone to sleep and we haven't heard anything.” The purple wind calmed down.
”Your royal hand came to see you last night?” Asked an imperial hand.
”He didn't leave until we started processing it!” Purple wind is strong calm, answer a way.
