Chapter 138: Wanshan Miners, Never Take a Holiday, Work Hard, and Serve the Country
In addition to the six of them, there were seven or eight men in cloth clothes on the side, who were also chosen by the steward.
Wanwan pretended to be the blind sister of her brother Ergou, and covered her eyes with a white cloth strip.
Wanwan held the small cloth strip in her small hands and looked around through the gap.
Looking at the smile on the corner of the steward's mouth, I always felt that something was strange. The steward didn't look like a good person.
After a while, a carriage that looked a bit shabby drove from not far away and stopped in front of everyone.
The one-eyed man in the lead was wearing a sleeveless black shirt, and his bare arms were full of muscles, looking like tendons.
After the steward saw the man, he smiled flatteringly and said, "Sir, this is today's man."
The man sitting on the carriage holding the reins used his intact eye to scan everyone present with a sharp gaze.
When he saw the three triplets who looked very similar, his face showed a little more admiration.
The steward leaned close to the man's ear and said, "These triplets are not very smart."
The man's eyes lit up when he heard it. They were strong but not very smart. Aren't these the people they need the most?
However, the smile on the man's face had not yet fully unfolded. Looking at the bearded man with a cane in his hand and the little girl who was not even as tall as his calf, he couldn't help but frown: "Why is there a little girl?"
They could accept a lame man, but why is there a little girl whose hair has not yet grown?
"This is my sister." Xiao Moqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, my sister can't eat much, she eats very little."
After hearing what her brother Ergou said, Wanwan nodded quickly, "Yes, Wanwan eats very little."
The man saw that although Xiao Moqing brought two burdens, it would be a pity not to take them away because they were tall and strong.
A burden is a burden, and when the time comes, find a capable job for this girl. If she is capable, let her stay, if not, just roll her away on a straw mat.
"Come on up." The man waved his hand, and everyone got on the carriage.
Xiao Moqing subconsciously carried a little kid on the carriage, but before he had taken a few steps, he heard his father coughing softly behind him.
"Cough..."
The big tyrant held a cane in his hand and looked at the rebellious son in front of him who had no sense at all.
Noticing the look in his father's eyes that wanted to kill him, Xiao Moqing quickly reached out to help him and said, "Dad, go slowly."
The big tyrant looked at the carriage full of people, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Forget it, don't be angry, don't be angry!
It's good that we can get into the city. This second brother finally didn't make things worse.
In order not to attract attention, they all dressed up.
The three secret guards were not triplets, they just wore masks that looked similar.
Wanwan didn't know what the secret guard had painted on her face, but it looked like she had a yellow face.
The Tyrant and Xiao Moqing also disguised themselves, put on beards and masks, and only looked three-tenths similar to their original appearance.
Wanwan: [Oh, the cute little princess is about to be squeezed]
Xiao Moqing: Sister, don't say anything, I'm going to be squeezed too.
"Manager, are we going to the mansion of that powerful noble in the city?"
A passerby in the carriage spoke slowly.
The steward sitting at the door heard this and answered casually: "You will know when you go there. Don't worry, our master will definitely not treat you badly."
"This doesn't seem to be the way to the city. Why does it feel like the way up the mountain?" Another passerby in the carriage looked at the rugged mountain road outside the window and asked in confusion.
After hearing this, several people in the carriage turned their heads and looked out the window.
Xiao Moqing looked at the rugged mountain road that spread upward outside the window and said, "Yes, isn't this the way up the mountain?"
Seeing that everyone was suspicious, the steward at the door changed his face slightly, but it only took a moment to return to normal. He smiled and said, "Same, there is a mountain road that can lead into the city. The city has been strictly checked recently. We can take this mountain road."
Hearing this, the great tyrant sitting inside opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
The steward is lying. Tan Wei had already explored the terrain.
There is no road on this mountain leading to the city.
Even if Xiao Moqing was slow to react, when he met his father's cold eyes, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
No way, no way, couldn't his sister's crow mouth be right again?
Could this steward really be a bad guy?
When Xiao Moqing was about to communicate with his father in code about what to do next, the carriage that was originally in motion suddenly stopped.
Everyone staggered to the side because of inertia.
Wanwan was held by her second brother and sat on his lap. The carriage suddenly braked, causing her little head to hit the board on the side.
Just when she thought her little head was about to explode, a hand suddenly stretched out and firmly protected her little head.
Wanwan opened her eyes and saw that it was one of the three secret guards.
Before Wanwan had time to thank the secret guard brother, she heard the one-eyed man's scolding from outside the carriage: "Get off the carriage quickly, hurry up!"
Everyone in the carriage got off the carriage under the scolding of the one-eyed man.
Only then did Wanwan realize that they had come to a cave. There were many guards with knives standing outside the cave. In the cave, many people could be vaguely seen working inside.
Wanwan: [Huh? Didn't we agree to go to a wealthy family in the city? The wealthy family lives in a cave? 】
Wanwan had just finished her complaints when she saw several guards holding knives approaching them and collecting their luggage.
One of the passersby asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to a wealthy family in the city...ah——"
Before the passerby could finish his words, the one-eyed man punched him in the stomach.
Just one punch, the passerby immediately half-knelt on the ground, holding his stomach in pain. The
one-eyed man said viciously: "You came to Wanshan Mine and still want to leave?"
After the one-eyed man finished speaking, the guards brought a few pickaxes and threw them in front of everyone.
Afterwards, everyone saw a man in brocade clothes came out and shouted: "Today we have new people in Wanshan Mine. On behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I warmly welcome you all. You are all heroes who have dedicated themselves to the country!
Don't worry, our Wanshan Mine belongs to the court and is specialized in mining and building weapons for the court. I swear that our Wanshan Mine will never treat anyone unfairly. As long as everyone works for ten hours a day, we can guarantee three steamed buns for everyone a day.
Come on, now everyone listen to my command and shout with me: Wanshan mine slaves, never take a holiday, work hard, and contribute to the country."
The big tyrant: "..."
Wanwan: "..."
Xiao Moqing: "..."
Everyone: "..."
