“Who is it!?”
The guard who got up at night suddenly saw two dark shadows walking out of the cave in confusion.
When the guard saw the two strangers, his pupils twitched with fear.
He can tell at a glance whether someone is one of his own.
These people have lived in the mountains for so many years that they no longer have any clothes to wear. All they wear are clothes made of animal skins.
The two people in front of me, one was wearing coarse cloth, and the other was wearing something that looked a bit like a military officer's uniform.
The clothes were too dirty, so he couldn't see clearly, but he knew that anyone who came to the mine late at night must have bad intentions.
With a "clang" sound, the guard hurriedly pulled out the sword that was used to ward off evil spirits and hung at the entrance of the cave.
"Someone come!"
"Hurry up, someone is trespassing in the mine!"
The guard shouted at the top of his lungs while guarding against the two people in front of him.
The echo in the mine was very obvious. After the guard shouted, his shout was echoed throughout the mine.
Then, a roar came from the caves around the mine.
"Whoever dares to disturb my sleep, I will chop him into eighteen pieces~"
"It's the middle of the night, are you dying?"
"Someone dared to trespass into our territory even in the deep mountains and old forests. He really wants his life to be too long..."
“.......”
All kinds of shouting and cursing came from all directions.
Zhang Wenyuan listened to Qili's rumbling footsteps and glanced at Shen Yong nervously.
It sounds like there are quite a lot of people in this mine.
These people dug many small caves on both sides of the mine passage, and many people lived in each cave.
Shen Yong looked at the guard in front of him calmly, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly.
What the hell is this savage?
Look at the little deerskin skirt she is wearing. If you don’t know, you would think she has met a savage.
Chen Yong raised his eyelids and looked at the savages emerging from the cave one after another, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Just by listening to the sound of these people's footsteps, he knew that they had relaxed their exercise in the mountains.
The footsteps are so heavy, how can the martial arts be good?
A moment later, a large group of strong men with naked upper bodies surrounded them.
“Who are you!?”
The tall and strong man in the lead frowned and looked up and down at Shen Yong and Zhang Wenyuan.
He went into the mountains to guard the mine for more than five years, and including the time he went into the mountains in advance to look for mines, he had not left the mountains for a full six years.
So he had no impression of the people in the capital, but he could still recognize the two people in front of him. The clothes worn by the person standing behind him seemed to be the uniform of a palace guard.
Their clothes were so dirty, it must have been difficult for these two people to walk into the mountains.
But----why are the clothes of the person standing in front so clean?
Shen Yong curled his lips and chuckled.
"Here comes the gold."
"To get the gold?!" The big strong man looked at Shen Yong in confusion.
After so many years, it’s time for the palace to send someone to collect the gold.
But there are only two people taking the gold, isn't that unlikely?
"How many of you are here?"
"150 people." Shen Yong replied calmly.
Zhang Wenyuan's heart trembled with shock.
Wow, this is even possible?
Are these people stupid staying in the mountains?
"Where are the people?" The burly man frowned and glanced outside the cave, but he didn't see the four people at the entrance.
"It's halfway up the mountain. Let's go over and take a look first."
Chen Yong patiently fooled the big strong man.
Zhang Wenyuan looked at the big and strong man who was fooled, and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he looked at everyone with an extremely firm expression.
The big strong man looked at Shen Yong and felt that his calmness did not seem fake.
He frowned and glanced at the thin Wei Bei beside him.
"Brother Wei, do you want to send someone to check halfway up the mountain?"
Wei Bei raised his eyelids and glanced at the big man.
“No need!”
It’s the dead of night, how can we send people to check halfway up the mountain?
If it's fake, then those who go to check it out will die in vain.
However, he believed that these two people were really sent by the palace to collect the gold.
After all, few people in the capital knew about this place, so they all came in with their faces covered.
When the masks on their faces were removed, they were already in the mountains.
As for where this mountain is, they have no idea.
They also tried to go outside.
However, there were mountains everywhere they went, and they did not dare to leave the mine too far. If they were discovered by the boss, they would die without knowing how.
"Go and ask the boss!"
Wei Bei pointed at a guard and asked him to call the leader.
"Wait a moment, this needs to be verified by the boss."
Wei Bei watched the guards move and then looked at Shen Yong.
Shen Yong curled his lips and smiled. When the guard passed by him, he raised his hand and slashed the guard's neck with a knife.
With a "bang", the guard fell straight to the ground.
Everyone in the mine widened their eyes in shock, looking bewildered.
How come we were talking so peacefully and suddenly started fighting?
Zhang Wenyuan was also startled by Shen Yong's actions.
He thought that Shen Yong was going to pretend to be a palace official to get the gold, and he happened to have the badge of the Imperial Guard on him, so he brought him along.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yong suddenly took action.
"Damn it!"
The burly man looked at his motionless brother, and his fists clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.
He glared at Chen Yong with his back teeth gritted.
"I can see you're not from the palace. You're here to die!"
Wei Bei looked at Chen Yong with a puzzled look.
"Are you from the palace?"
