Ye Xiaoxiao grabbed Shangguan Lingyun and signaled him to stay calm.
"I don't know how many people are on the other side. It's not safe for us to rush in."
"Let Wang Xiao and the others come down later, and then we can sneak in together to see what's going on."
Shangguan Lingyun did not refuse, and Wang Xiao came down quickly.
"Master, Madam, I promise the cane won't break this time."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded and looked at Wang Xiao hanging on the edge of the cliff, with no intention of going up at all.
"Master, did you not find the herbs?"
Shangguan Lingyun shook his head. "There might be a mine behind this. Let's go in and take a look."
Wang Xiao was a little surprised and at the same time a little relieved.
"Master and Madam are so lucky that they unexpectedly found a mine when the vine broke."
Wang Xiao flattered her lightly, and Ye Xiaoxiao pulled him over with a faint smile.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Send a signal to the higher-ups and have them be ready to respond. Let's go in and take a look."
Wang Xiao did not refuse. He jumped to the edge of the cliff not far from the two of them and then looked at Shangguan Lingyun.
"Master, do you want to just push down the mountain wall?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, but Ye Xiaoxiao stopped him again.
"Pushing it down directly would make too much noise and easily alert the enemy. It sounds like the wall isn't too thick, so why not dig slowly?"
Wang Xiao didn't wait for Shangguan Lingyun to respond, he took out his sword and started digging.
Shangguan Lingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything.
Soon, Wang Xiao dug out a hole that was only big enough for one person to pass through.
As Ye Xiaoxiao expected, the wall behind the mountain was not very thick.
After they dug through, they saw a winding passage.
At this moment, someone was talking on the other side of the passage, but it didn't seem too close.
"Let's go and take a look."
The three of them slowly explored inside and soon discovered that this was actually a mine.
But this time it was not a gold mine, but an iron mine.
Shangguan Lingyun felt a little cold all over, Wang Xiao was too scared to speak, and Ye Xiaoxiao pulled his sleeve.
"Don't be angry for now. The most urgent thing is to take over this place as soon as possible before they transport the ore away."
Shangguan Lingyun suppressed his anger when he heard it. Wang Xiao got a look from Ye Xiaoxiao and quickly retreated.
Coming to the cave on the edge of the cliff, Wang Xiao sent a signal towards the top of the cliff.
The eagle arrived here first. Wang Xiao took out a piece of cloth from his arms, wrote a few words on it, and put it on the eagle to let it take away.
Soon, the secret guards on the mountain and Tianxuan came to the crowd along the rope.
Ye Xiaoxiao took a look at the manpower on her side and felt that it was about enough.
"Husband, let's go rob their mines."
Looking at the excited smile on Ye Xiaoxiao's face, Shangguan Lingyun smiled indulgently.
"After entering, quickly control the people inside. Make sure they don't get the gunpowder like last time."
Everyone nodded, and then quietly entered the cave.
Maybe someone notified us in advance, so there aren't too many people in the cave at the moment.
They didn't work either, but just ate meat and drank in groups of three or four.
Ye Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, then covered them with her sleeves, took out the incense from the space, and repeated the same trick.
I don’t know if it’s because the mine is too tight or they are too confident.
They didn't realize they were infected until someone fainted.
"Old Third, you're such a useless thing! You've only been drinking for a short while, and you're already drunk."
"Second brother, come on, let's continue drinking."
"Damn it, I'm almost going to get sick from staying in this dark and miserable mine all day long."
After the man finished speaking, he saw that the second brother, who usually had a high alcohol tolerance, was lying on the table motionless.
"Damn it, what's wrong with you two today? Did you sneak out to hang out with those stinky bitches again last night?"
"What a bummer! I'm not going to drink anymore. I'm going to go see if those troublemakers are causing any trouble."
The man stood up as he spoke, then staggered towards the depths of the mine.
He cursed as he walked, "A bunch of useless people, all they know is laziness."
"However, Liu Laosan's wife is really pretty. No wonder the second and third brothers are always so busy. Hehe, hiccup~"
The man walked forward, burping and mumbling, unaware that several people were following him.
After walking for about half an incense stick of time, everyone followed him to a slightly empty cave.
As soon as she came in, Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and covered her nose.
The smell in the mine was so bad that she almost vomited.
Shangguan Lingyun pulled her into his arms. Smelling the unique scent of ambergris on Shangguan Lingyun, Ye Xiaoxiao felt much better.
"What is this place? Why does it smell so bad?"
Before Shangguan Lingyun could answer, Ye Xiaoxiao had already seen the situation in the mine.
There were several iron cages in the mine, and there were many men and women, young and old, in the cages.
They looked haggard, emaciated, with hollow and lifeless eyes. At this moment, they were resting in the cages, either lying or sitting in a sickly manner.
As the man arrived, everyone in the cage immediately looked at him in horror.
The man was seen walking slowly towards a smaller cage at the innermost part.
In the cages ahead that he had not visited, there was a hint of relief and anger in the eyes of the people.
Ye Xiaoxiao was confused when she heard a man's pleading voice from deep inside the cage.
