Chapter 207: Drive Away
When Shen Fenghe saw these soldiers, she couldn't help but frown.
Xiao Yunshuo was standing next to her at the moment. She leaned over and whispered, "If these people are here with ill intentions and want to arrest us, don't worry about me. Get away first."
Xiao Yunshuo has a special identity, and the origins of these soldiers are unknown. If they find out that he is the prince, he will be in a passive position.
Xiao Yunshuo lowered his eyes to glance at her, the corners of his lips curved up almost inaudibly. Suddenly, he leaned close to her ear and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you... worried about me?"
His voice was pleasant to the eye to begin with, and at this moment he lowered it deliberately. Adding to the fact that they were so close, Shen Fenghe felt an itch in her ears, and her heart also felt a little agitated.
"If you were discovered by those people... Mom would be worried." Chen Fenghe denied it tactfully.
Xiao Yunshuo noticed that the tips of her ears had turned slightly red, and the smile on the corners of his lips deepened a little. However, he did not agree to Chen Fenghe, but only said ambiguously: "Don't worry. I know my limits."
The officers and soldiers quickly surrounded the mountain stronghold.
The coolies holding weapons couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Most of them were good citizens who were content with a comfortable life. They were brought here for no reason and were originally victims, but now they were the ones holding weapons.
If these officers and soldiers thought they were troublemakers and traitors...
Sure enough, when the bandits, already outnumbered and at a disadvantage, saw this group of soldiers, one of them suddenly spoke up, "Sir! These people have been bribed by Northern Rong spies! They've been secretly mining gold and building a weapons depot, plotting rebellion! The weapons in their hands are irrefutable evidence!"
In ancient times, the most taboo thing was rebellion. Now these ragged coolies holding weapons do have some reasons that are hard to explain.
Everyone was furious.
"You're talking nonsense! It's obviously...it's obviously you who brought us here and forced us to mine! Sir! Please help us!"
"That's right! We...were forced to resist! Even these weapons...belong to these people!"
Everyone started to accuse with righteous indignation. Some people even rushed over with hatred and wanted to punch the person who had just spoken to vent their anger, but the officers and soldiers held their knives to their necks. How could they dare to take another step forward?
Chen Fenghe frowned slightly.
These people were indeed not here to rescue them.
The bandit who had spoken earlier had a smug look on his face. He cupped his fists towards the leading officer and said loudly, "Sir! I have something to say! It's about the Northern Rong spies. May I have a moment with you?"
The leading officer glanced at the man without commenting. He suddenly ordered his men, "Lock up these unruly civilians holding weapons first! We'll consult the general before making any further decisions! And these people too!"
After hearing this, everyone naturally became even more angry, but these officers and soldiers who came were all holding spears and shields. A few dozen meters behind them, there were even long-range soldiers pulling bows and arrows, which clearly meant that if they dared to resist, they would be shot to death!
Everyone was angry but dared not speak out, and since they had no opinions of their own, they could only be driven back by the officers and soldiers.
The only natural cage that can accommodate so many people here is the mine.
Chen Fenghe frowned even tighter.
If they were all driven back to the mine, they would be in a passive position!
If the other party intends to kill people to silence them, all they need is some explosives, which will be enough to bury everyone alive in the mine!
She gritted her teeth and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Wait a minute!"
