Chapter 138: Wanshan Miners, Never Take a Holiday, Work Hard, and Dedicate Yourself to the Country



In addition to the six of them, there were seven or eight men in cloth clothes standing by, who were also chosen by the manager.

Wanwan pretended to be her brother Ergou's blind sister and covered her eyes with a white cloth.

Wanwan held the small strip of cloth in her little hands and looked around through the gap.

Looking at the smile on the corner of the manager's mouth, I always felt that something was strange. The manager didn't look like a good person.

After a while, a somewhat shabby-looking carriage drove over from not far away and stopped in front of everyone.

The one-eyed man in the lead was wearing a sleeveless black shirt. His exposed arms were full of muscles, and he looked like he had a body full of tendon meat.

When the steward saw the man passing by, he smiled flatteringly and said, "Sir, this is the man for today."

The man sitting in the carriage holding the reins scanned everyone present with his sharp gaze in his good eye.

When he saw the three triplets of secret guards who looked very similar, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

The steward leaned in close to the man's ear and said, "These triplets aren't very smart."

When the man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the man who was strong but not very smart. Isn't this the person they need the most?

However, the man's smile hadn't fully unfolded yet. Looking at the bearded man with a cane and the little girl who was not even as tall as his calf, he couldn't help but frown: "Why is there a little girl here?"

They could accept a lame man, but why was there a little girl whose hair had not yet fully grown?

"This is my sister." Xiao Moqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, my sister can't eat much. She eats very little."

After hearing what her brother Ergou said, Wanwan nodded quickly, "Yes, Wanwan eats very little."

The man saw that although Xiao Moqing brought two burdens with him, he thought it would be a shame not to take them with him because they looked tall and strong.

She is a burden so what? When the time comes, find a job for this girl that she can do. If she is capable, let her stay. If she is not, just roll her away on a straw mat.

"Come on up." The man waved his hand and everyone got on the carriage.

Xiao Moqing subconsciously carried the little kid into the carriage, but before he had taken a few steps, he heard his father coughing lightly behind him.

"cough……"

The tyrant held a cane in his hand and looked at his rebellious son who had no sense of propriety in front of him.

Noticing the look in his father's eyes that seemed to want to kill him, Xiao Moqing quickly reached out to help him and said, "Dad, please slow down."

The tyrant looked at the carriage packed with people, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Forget it, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!

As long as we can get into the city, this second brother finally didn't make things worse.

In order not to attract attention, they all disguised themselves.

The three secret guards were not triplets of course, they just wore masks that looked similar.

Wanwan didn't know what the secret guard had put on her face, but it made her look sallow.

The Great Tyrant and Xiao Moqing also disguised themselves, putting on beards and masks, and looked only about three-quarters similar to their original appearance.

Wanwan: [Oh, the cute little princess is about to be squeezed and washed]

Xiao Moqing: Sister, stop talking, I’m going to be crushed too.

"Steward, I wonder if we are going to the house of that powerful noble in the city?"

In the carriage, a passerby spoke slowly.

The steward sitting at the door heard this and replied casually, "You'll know when you get there. Don't worry, our master will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"This doesn't seem to be the road to the city. Why does it feel like the road up the mountain?" Another passerby in the carriage looked at the rugged mountain road outside the window and asked in confusion.

After hearing this, the people in the carriage couldn't help but turn their heads and look out the window.

Xiao Moqing looked at the rugged mountain road stretching upward outside the window and said, "Oh, right, isn't this the way up the mountain?"

Seeing everyone's suspicion, the steward at the door's face changed slightly, but it only took a moment for it to return to normal. He smiled and said, "Same here. There is a mountain road that leads into the city. The city has been strictly inspected recently. We can take this mountain road."

Hearing this, the tyrant sitting inside opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

This manager is lying. Tan Wei had already explored the terrain.

There is no road leading to the city from this mountain.

Even if Xiao Moqing was slow to react at this moment, when he met his father's cold eyes, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

No way, no way, his sister’s bad mouth couldn’t have come true again.

This manager can't really be a bad guy.

When Xiao Moqing was about to communicate with his father in code about what to do next, the carriage that was originally moving suddenly stopped.

Due to inertia, everyone stumbled and fell to the side.

Wanwan was held by her second brother and sat on his lap. The carriage suddenly braked, causing her little head to hit the side of the board.

Just when she thought her little head was about to explode, a hand suddenly reached out and firmly protected her little head.

Wanwan opened her eyes and saw that it was one of the three secret guards.

Before Wanwan could even thank the secret guard, she heard the one-eyed man's shouting from outside the carriage: "Get off the carriage quickly!"

At the one-eyed man's scolding, everyone in the carriage got off.

Only now did Wanwan realize that they had arrived in front of a cave. Outside the cave stood many guards holding knives in their hands. Inside the cave, many people could be vaguely seen working.

Wanwan: [Hmm? Didn't we agree to go to a wealthy family in the city? The wealthy family lives in a cave?]

Just as Wanwan finished her inner complaints, she saw several guards with knives walk up to them and collect all their luggage.

One of the passersby saw this and asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to a wealthy family in the city...ah——"

Before the passerby could finish his words, he saw the one-eyed man punch him in the stomach.

Just one punch, and the passerby immediately half-knelt on the ground, holding his stomach in pain.

The one-eyed man said viciously, "You've come to Wanshan Mine and you still want to leave?"

After the one-eyed man finished speaking, the guards brought a few pickaxes and threw them in front of everyone.

Then, everyone saw a man in splendid clothes walk out and say loudly: "Today we have new people coming to Wanshan Mine. On behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I warmly welcome you all. You are all heroes who have dedicated themselves to our country!

Don't worry, everyone. Our Wanshan Mine is affiliated with the imperial court. We are specialized in mining and building weapons for the imperial court. I swear that our Wanshan Mine will never treat anyone unfairly. As long as everyone works for ten hours a day, we can guarantee that everyone will have three steamed buns a day.

Come, now everyone, listen to my command and shout with me: Wanshan miners, never take a holiday, work hard and dedicate yourself to the country. "

The Tyrant: “…”

Wanwan: “…”

Xiao Moqing: "..."

Everyone: “…”
