Chapter 191: Mine Collapse? A Plan to Split the Rock
Li Fu hummed, "It's become more difficult to save people."
"Not only that, look," He Zhaojun pointed at the mountain. "Shouchun has already had over a month of continuous rain. The rocks are already loose, and now with the earthquake, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be a mudslide."
At this point, He Zhaojun whistled behind her, "Thick Earth Flag, Giant Wood Flag, listen! Survey the area where the mudslide may occur, establish a cordon, and prohibit anyone from approaching."
"No matter what the celestial phenomena are like, or what people do, I will definitely save the people of Shouchun!" He Zhaojun stretched out her hand to pull the reins tight, and the warhorse under her crotch let out a long neigh.
"Everyone, pay attention to safety. No one can be left behind. Do you understand?!" He Zhaojun rode her horse and galloped towards the mine.
Li Fu rode his horse to catch up: "Is this the medley you have? It looks different from the others."
He Zhaojun hummed, and put all the blame on the already imprisoned Wen Xiujun: "I don't know exactly what the people sent by the lady are doing."
"Mr. Li, you are not just a boy from an ordinary merchant family, are you?" Just for this martial arts, he must have learned from a famous master, not to mention other matters.
Whether it was the complicated collection and expenditure of materials or drafting memorials to report the actual situation, he did it very well, obviously he was used to it. How could an ordinary young master from an aristocratic family do this?
"What about you? You're not really a dowry, are you? Wang Yan is just an ordinary girl. It would be too superficial for her to be your dowry."
Having said that, the two of them shut up in unison. They both had secrets, and there was no need to delve into these matters at this juncture. After all, they now had a common target - Peng Kun.
Moreover, if she could save someone, even if he was a wandering ghost, He Zhaojun would have to burn three incense sticks for him to express her gratitude. In the face of natural disasters, the tiny human beings were unprecedentedly united.
When the two men got closer, they found that this place was not what they had imagined. Peng Kun was digging with his bare chest using a shovel and a pickaxe, just like an ordinary soldier.
"Haven't you found the entrance to other mine tunnels yet? How the hell are you supervising the workers?" Peng Kun spat and whipped the miner leader, making him tremble.
"Please forgive me, Governor. The earthquake happened so suddenly that the terrain has changed. We really can't find it...ah!" The man wanted to quibble, but Peng Kun whipped him in the face and he fainted immediately.
He looked around, furious. "I've sent all my personal soldiers here to mine and smelt copper. If they get killed today, I'll kill your whole family!"
Someone nearby shouted, "Someone from the Xie family in Hexi is also trapped!"
"And what about the hundreds of people from Chunyu Prefecture in the capital?!"
"The young master of Kejiabao in Jiujiang County is still inside!"
For a moment, those who had luckily escaped the disaster and were not buried in the mine shouted and made plans together, wanting to gather everyone's strength to open a new mine.
Li Fu glanced at He Zhaojun and realized she was in a hurry to help. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Everyone, the huge rocks are blocking the entrance to the mine. It is difficult to move them manually. Why don't we build a bonfire, heat the rocks, pour cold water on them, and then cut them into small pieces? [54] What do you think?"
He Zhaojun was hesitant, but it wasn't that there wasn't a simpler way. The soldiers of the Fiery Flag had already prepared sulfur, salt, and charcoal according to her requirements. With a little preparation, they could create gunpowder with great power, enough to split mountains and break rocks.
"I have a method that is even faster than this method!"
