Wei Mingxuan's heart instantly rose to his throat.
Just when he thought he was about to be killed, a figure came flying and took him away in the opposite direction of the pile of rocks.
The next moment after they escaped from the haystack, Commander Meng drew out his sword and walked towards the haystack step by step, murderous intent revealed.
However, there was no one behind the haystack.
The mine manager came over to take a look and said, "Commander Meng, don't be so nervous. Except for the captured refugees, everyone else in the mine is our own people. Spies can't get in here."
As he spoke, he glanced at the forest behind the mine, and a sneer appeared on his lips. "After all, the 500 wolves we keep in the mountains are not vegetarians."
"That would be better." Commander Meng put away his knife with a cold face, walked back to the pile of ore, and watched the people he brought load the ore into the truck.
…
Behind the now empty shed.
Seeing Wei Mingxuan who was unharmed, Wei Yunlan felt a little scared: "Mingxuan, you are too brave!"
Wei Mingxuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and didn't dare to look at his elder sister's eyes.
Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, his legs became weak. He was almost killed by the sword of the barbarian leader.
"Big sister, thanks for arriving in time..."
"It's thanks to Yu Wu's quick movements, otherwise your neck and head would have been separated by now." Wei Yunlan is now very glad that he made a deal with Tianshu Pavilion.
If she hadn't negotiated with Tianshu Pavilion after knowing Mingxuan's location, and asked them to help rescue Mingxuan in exchange for leading the way to the black iron mine, the consequences would have been disastrous if she had been late for half a day.
After bringing Mingxuan here, Yu Wu and the other members of his team dispersed to different places.
Now there are only four familiar faces left guarding Wei Yunlan and her brother.
Wei Mingxuan was still in shock. Hearing the sound of ore being moved from the mountain road, he said with a pale face, "Sister, the ore mined from this iron mine is sold to the barbarians!"
Wei Yunlan also saw the barbarian just now.
The barbarians are very different from the people of Dayong in body shape and skin color. Compared with the people of Dayong Dynasty, the barbarians are more like uncivilized savages. Their rough and somewhat bestial appearance can be identified at a glance.
Although I had some speculations with my parents beforehand, I was still shocked to see the barbarians appear in the heart of the Dayong Dynasty with my own eyes.
The Liu family, and the Lianzhou officials who colluded with the Liu family, were actually doing business with the Northern Barbarians...
Sell Dayong's iron ore to the Northern Barbarians. The silver they earn today will be the swords that attack Dayong's soldiers in the future, and the blood that will flow from Dayong's people.
How dare they make such dirty money!
These traitors!
It is a good time to leave since they are transporting the ore and have no time to check it.
Yu Qi urged in a low voice, "Miss Wei, we have to hurry."
"Mingxuan, where is Wang Gui? Find him, we are going to leave here."
After Wei Yunlan finished speaking, Wei Mingxuan moved his feet, but showed a hint of hesitation, "Sister, is the person who saved me just now here to investigate this black iron mine?"
Wei Yunlan glanced at Yu Qi, who nodded. Wei Yunlan knew there was nothing to hide, and replied to Wei Mingxuan: "Those are from Tianshu Pavilion. After they investigate, they will find a way to shut down this place in a few days."
The hesitation in Wei Mingxuan's eyes turned into determination after hearing this, "Sister, I can't leave now."
"Mingxuan?" Wei Yunlan's heart skipped a beat.
Wei Mingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "If I leave now, I will alert the enemy and the barbarians and the mastermind behind this black iron mine will escape. Besides, I can be of some use if I stay!"
"What are you going to do?" Wei Yunlan's expression tensed.
"I've been assigned a record keeping job. I've found out the daily amount of ore mined here. There are also a few refugees who are familiar with me and Wang Gui. I can try to find out the layout of the mine, and I can also... find a way to steal their account books."
The more Wei Mingxuan spoke, the more he felt that he could be more useful if he stayed. "Sister, if there is trouble in the mine, I can stay and comfort the captured refugees and take them away to avoid causing trouble for the heroes of Tianshu Pavilion."
After hearing this, even Yu Qi and the others nearby were quite moved.
It's no wonder that the young master of the Wei family can be of some use if he stays here. After all, he has become familiar with the people here!
"Have you thought it through?" Wei Yunlan looked directly into Wei Mingxuan's eyes.
Wei Mingxuan suppressed all his fear and answered without hesitation, "I've thought about it!"
This kind of determination and courage was the first time Wei Yunlan saw in his younger brother.
Even though she was worried, she still nodded and agreed, "Okay, I promise you."
He took out a whistle from his sleeve and handed it over, "Be careful. If you encounter danger that you can't defeat, run to the back mountain. I will lead people to guard there for the next two days. Take this whistle with you, and we will come out to pick you up after you blow it."
Wei Mingxuan took the whistle and was about to put it in his arms when he realized what he had just heard. He pointed in the direction of the back mountain in surprise and said, "Sister, are you talking about this back mountain?"
Wei Yunlan nodded.
Wei Mingxuan's eyes were filled with even more shock. He swallowed hard and asked, "Sister, you just came from this direction, didn't you?"
Wei Yunlan nodded again.
"There are wolves on that mountain!"
Wei Mingxuan's hand holding the whistle trembled slightly. Could it be that his elder sister and the others were lucky and just happened not to encounter it?
"They raise hundreds of wolves on this mountain. In the past few days alone, several people have been thrown to feed the wolves..."
