Chapter 617 Suspected!
"General Meng, what do you think?"
Man Lei also realized that Ye Mu's idea of rescuing all the workers was too bold, and he felt uneasy.
"This kid has a kind heart."
Although Monta disagreed with Ye Mu's idea, he had to admit that it would undoubtedly be a great merit if all the workers could be rescued!
Of course, putting merit aside, what is important is to free those workers from suffering!
"What does General Meng mean?" Man Lei asked.
"He told us to be ready for a response, so of course we have to satisfy his wishes." Monta smiled slightly. "Keep a close eye on your surroundings. I'll use my jade talisman to send a message to mobilize troops."
"A head-on fight?" Man Lei exclaimed.
You know, Zhou Jin, a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had just personally given an order to Monta not long ago, that for the sake of the royal prince's wedding, no war should be started!
Is Monta just rebelling?
"Of course we can't do it openly." Monta smiled again and began to transmit messages through the jade talisman, preparing to deploy troops.
at the same time.
In the first working face of the Dark Stone City Mine.
Under the guidance of Lao Wu, the foreman of the working face, Ye Mu constantly tried to detect various parts deep inside the working face.
Eventually, they identified five drip points, which were the most vulnerable locations to collapse.
It was already five o'clock in the morning.
"Well, that's it for now."
Ye Mu looked at Old Wu, Xiahou Tie, Ji Linglong and the others, "Everyone, take a break first. We'll have to start work as usual at dawn. We can't let those four team leaders get wind of this."
"To be honest, I'm not sleepy at all." Xiahou Tie was undoubtedly the most excited.
He wanted to leave here every moment.
Now, with Ye Mu's arrival, he is finally going to achieve his wish!
"I'm not sleepy either." Old Wu laughed. "How about this? You take your wife to rest first, and Tiezi and I will continue digging."
"no."
Ye Mu shook his head decisively, "For now, we can't start digging until the third watch three days from now. Before that, no one can move."
“That’s right!”
Xiahou Tie suddenly realized, "If we start digging now, it will easily cause a collapse. Then the moat water will flow back in and we will be flooded."
"But……"
Old Wu seemed to be at a loss for words and slapped his thigh. "But even if we start digging in three days, the moat water will still flood back in!"
"Uncle Wu, this is why we chose five dripping points." Ye Mu pointed deep into the alley. "These five points are at two forks in the road, and the three weakest points are where we all need to gather and leave."
Xiahou Tie suddenly understood again, "I understand. Big Brother Ye's idea is to have everyone hide at the third, fourth, and fifth points. Then, we should dig up the first and second points first. When the river water backflows, we can dig up the third, fourth, and fifth points at once. Even if we are flooded, we won't suffocate."
"That's right."
Ye Mu smiled appreciatively.
Old Wu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "I see."
"Then, everyone go and rest." Ye Mu waved his hand. "For the next three days, everyone should continue working as normal. I'll go and help the four team leaders."
"What if the four of them are still stubborn?" Old Wu suddenly sighed.
"Then take them out by force." Ye Mu said.
"This is too terrifying." Old Wu shook his head. "Whether they're afraid or resigned to their fate, they've already considered this their last journey. Even if we take them out, they might not know how to survive."
"I do have a suggestion that would satisfy both parties." At this moment, Ji Linglong, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly said seriously, "My Ji family's plan is underway. Gengjin City, where we are stationed, is sparsely populated. We can completely arrange for these people to live in Gengjin City."
"That's a really good idea."
Ye Mu nodded. "Since we've freed them from all worries, I don't think they have any reason to refuse, right?"
After a while, everyone had a brief discussion and went to rest.
A few hours later.
The workers began a new day of work.
Ye Mu and Ji Linglong visited the four team leaders of the second, fourth, fifth and sixth work faces in turn, and told them roughly about their departure.
Even so, when Ye Mu expressed everyone's concerns, these four squad leaders were still stubborn and rejected Ye Mu's good intentions.
He also reminded Ye Mu not to ask for trouble and not to implicate them!
Ye Mu was extremely speechless about this result.
At one point, he even wanted to give up trying to persuade her.
However, when he thought of these laborers working here day and night, he calmed down again.
However, he never told anyone about his plan to leave here, just in case.
However, if these four team leaders are still unwilling to follow Ye Mu, then the plan to dig the mine and leave here in three days will be shelved.
There is no other reason.
After the mine collapsed, the water from the moat flooded back in. If the workers were still in the mine, there would be only one outcome: they would be drowned.
Therefore, Ye Mu’s plan also has a chain reaction.
"Let's go back and think of a solution." Ji Linglong comforted Ye Mu not to be anxious, as good things take time.
The first day passed quickly.
At noon the next day, news suddenly came that the two team leaders of the second and fourth working faces were caught by the captain for slandering Ye Mu and were beheaded on the spot.
This news not only made Ye Mu angry, but also made him extremely regretful.
As expected, the two team leaders of the second and fourth work faces reported to the captain that he had recruited everyone to escape from here, hoping to gain the captain's trust.
But he was wiped out on the spot.
Day 3.
Just when Ye Mu made up his mind to forcibly take away those laborers who were unwilling to leave, two centurions sent someone to bring a message, saying that they were about to return to land to rest for a day and wanted to treat Ye Mu to a banquet in the evening and have a few drinks.
Ye Mu did not refuse this.
Because he knew that the two centurions were not only missing the black crystal stone in his hand, but also wanted to use this banquet to test his true strength and whether he had any intention of escaping from this place.
"Both of the centurions are in the middle stage of the Void Realm. Tonight's banquet is very likely the Hongmen Banquet. Are you sure you want to go?" Ji Linglong asked worriedly.
"If I don't go, it will arouse their suspicion."
Ye Mu smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, anything that can be solved with the Black Crystal Stone is not a problem."
"Then I must stay with you, just in case." Ji Linglong said decisively.
"Need not."
Ye Mu shook his head. "Having Lao Zhang and Kunpeng with me to cover for me is enough. The foremen of the second and fourth work areas were killed, and the two foremen of the fifth and sixth work areas didn't join the foremen of the second and fourth work areas in suing me. This is enough to prove that they still have sympathy. You stay and appease the others. Try to finish it before I come back, and then implement the plan in the second half of the night."
"If it still doesn't work, we can only take them away by force." Ji Linglong understood Ye Mu's thoughts.
"Yes." After Ye Mu said that, he took Zhang Bufan and Kunpeng away.
Ji Linglong couldn't help but clench her fists. She knew very well that the task Ye Mu had assigned to her was much easier than Ye Mu's visit to the centurion's banquet.
