Chapter 58 Borrowing Troops to Rescue
In the Wei Dynasty, the operating rights of saltpeter mines belonged to the government, and private individuals were not allowed to mine.
And these people are so secretive about it, it's obvious that this is an illegal mine.
Although Hu Dahai was shocked, he was not going to get involved in the matter as it was none of his business.
All he had to do was to send these fugitives safely to the Northwest, and then return home to take care of his mother, that was all.
Shen Wan keenly noticed his abnormality, so she quietly took out a pheasant from the space and pricked its butt with a needle.
The pheasant felt a pain and immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
"Who?" The worker was surprised.
Hearing the sound, a group of ferocious men rushed out of the cave and immediately spotted the two people hiding in the bushes.
"Kill them!" The leading man shouted sternly with murderous intent in his eyes.
Hu Dahai was confident in his skills and his status as an official, so he did not take them seriously.
He slowly walked out from behind the boulder, clasped his fists and saluted them. "I am the officer in charge of escorting the prisoners. I accidentally strayed into this place. I hope you can forgive me."
No matter how low the official's status is, he is still on the court's payroll.
According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, murdering an official is a serious crime and will be punished by immediate execution!
As long as they don't interfere with each other's affairs, Hu Dahai has reason to believe that these people will let them go.
"Officials are nothing!" The leading man grinned viciously, "Even if an official comes, I will kill him without hesitation!"
Before he finished speaking, he stabbed Hu Dahai with his sword.
Hu Dahai was startled and immediately drew out his long sword.
But after a few rounds, he quickly realized something was wrong.
These big men were very skilled, and their martial arts routines were exactly the same as those of the soldiers in the military camp. It was obvious that they had received formal training.
At this point, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that this was a private mine owned by a powerful official in the court.
The other side had more people and more power, and even though Hu Dahai was very skilled, he gradually couldn't hold on.
After Shen Wan knocked the big man down, she stuffed a small paper bag into Hu Dahai's hand.
She lowered her voice and said, "This is for you. I'll lead them away. Run!"
Hu Dahai's nose twitched slightly, and he knew it was lime powder again.
Before he could react, he saw the clown girl yelling, "You bunch of losers, you can't even beat a woman, I won't play with you anymore!"
Before she finished speaking, she rushed into the depths of the woods like a flash of lightning.
Not only did they not gain any advantage after the fight, but they were even looked down upon by this clown girl. The big men were so angry that their faces turned pale.
"Little bitch, I'll chop you up when I catch you!"
"Brothers, chase!"
The leading man cursed loudly, picked up his sword and chased after him.
Seeing that the clown girl had led half of the people away for him, Hu Dahai waved his hand.
Suddenly, white lime powder fell down.
While the big men were dodging, he leaped up and ran out of the woods at the fastest speed in his life.
He needs help!
Even if the more than one hundred prisoners were weak and frail, even if the dozen or so officers had average fighting ability, even if it cost a huge price, he would save her!
After catching up with the team, Hu Dahai ordered to rescue people.
"No, we can't go!" Xie Mubai's handsome face darkened and he immediately stopped her. "Not only can we not go, we must leave immediately."
"If those people catch up with us, we'll be dead!"
He firmly believed that the clown girl would be fine.
She has the ability to disappear out of thin air. How can ordinary mortals be her opponents?
Otherwise, how could he dare to let her go into this dangerous place!
"Xie Mubai, are you still a human being?" Hu Dahai was furious and cursed, "That's your wife!"
"Ask yourself, if it weren't for her, would you still be alive today?"
Qin Chu listened on the side and couldn't wait to say: "Take me there, I also want to go and save Miss Shen!"
"You'd better take care of yourself first." Wang Qi frowned slightly and said sarcastically, "Some people will only cause trouble if they go. Not only can they not save the young lady, but they will also hinder us!"
"I will write a letter right now. Please take it to the county magistrate and he will help you."
It is less than ten miles from here to the county town, so it is not difficult to get help.
Of course, the premise is that Harley Quinn does not fall into the hands of those people.
After hearing this, Hu Dahai finally calmed down.
He handed the exile team over to other officials and ran all the way to the county town.
Fearing that the bad guys would catch up, the others also hurriedly quickened their pace.
Only when they reached the official road did the group slow down.
"Let's go!" Sun urged with a look of fear on her face, "What if those people catch up with us?"
Wang Qi looked at her like she was stupid and said, "This is a government road with a lot of people on it. It's near the county town, so those people wouldn't dare to do anything."
Illegal mining of saltpeter is a serious crime, and he has every reason to believe that those people would not dare to be too arrogant.
After hearing this, Sun finally felt relieved.
She rolled her eyes and immediately put on eye drops in front of Qin Chu: "That little bitch is really good at causing trouble!"
"Cousin, you have no idea how much trouble she has caused along the way."
Qin Chu couldn't help but look disgusted when he heard this.
He ignored her and walked away.
Wang Qi looked at it and couldn't help but smile coldly.
"Is this another of your plans?" He thought for a moment and looked at Xie Mubai calmly.
Xie Mubai didn't say anything.
"You're such a jerk!" Wang Qi sneered with a sullen look on his face. "I knew you were putting her in danger, yet I still spoke up for you."
"If it happens again, I will never forgive you!"
After hearing this, Xie Mubai stared at him with complicated eyes.
Along the way, Wang Qillang's concern for the clown girl seemed to be beyond normal.
And all this seems to have nothing to do with love between men and women.
But how is Harley Quinn doing now?
He didn't know that Shen Wan was feeling extremely comfortable at this moment.
After she led the group away, she disappeared into the saltpeter mine and not only took most of the mined saltpeter for herself, but also collected a large number of weapons.
As long as the government takes over the saltpeter mine, even if the third prince has great connections, he can only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
It was so boring that Shen Wan leaned on the sofa, drinking a cold drink and reading comics.
Just as we were enjoying the show, Hu Dahai and his soldiers came over to kill us.
For a moment, the scene was filled with swords and blood.
In this way, the third prince's beloved saltpeter mine was taken over by the government.
Seeing that everything was done, Shen Wan flashed and appeared in the woods outside the cave.
"Brother Hu, you're finally here!" She pretended to be excited and ran over quickly.
Hearing her voice, Hu Dahai couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I'm glad you're okay." He looked her up and down and then spoke in a hoarse voice.
Shen Wan nodded: “By the way, brother, there is something I don’t know whether I should tell you.”
"Sister, just say it!"
Shen Wan looked around for a moment before moving closer to him and saying in a low voice, "This saltpeter mine must belong to some powerful person. If he finds out that we ruined things, he will definitely retaliate."
"So, big brother, can you please ask the county magistrate to remove us from this matter?"
It is not a good thing to become an enemy of the male protagonist before the big villain rises.
Hu Dahai smiled and said, "Sister, you are really thoughtful."
"Let's go, the prince is still waiting for you at the post station."
Having said that, he knew clearly that he had offended the powerful person badly by this matter!
He can deal with this muddy water whether he wants to or not.
The officers and soldiers came on horseback and returned to the county town in a short while.
Although it is a county town, it is dilapidated and looks depressed.
As soon as she entered the city gate, Shen Wan saw a person at the entrance of the post station from afar.
He has long flowing hair and white clothes as white as snow. He is as beautiful as a lily of the valley and as stunning as a tree. In short, no words in the world are enough to describe his beauty.
As soon as she saw him, Shen Wan's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
