Although the Shenyang siblings are strong, they are simple-minded and physically strong, and not good at perceiving the dark thoughts of others.
Therefore, when the family passed through Xianyang County, they were all captured and forced to work in an iron mine.
The brother and sister were rebellious by nature; they were not the type to accept things passively. They escaped from the mine using their immense strength.
Fortunately, several nearby villages were close to Xianyang County. They found out about Sheng Lingwei and rushed to Black Wind Village to recognize her and ask for help.
Sheng Lingwei immediately took the brother and sister to her space to wash up and tidy themselves up, as they looked quite disheveled. After feeding and watering them, she then took them out of the space.
Otherwise, given the siblings' nature, they would have been crying and complaining of hunger long ago, instead of being so quiet now.
Thinking of this, Sheng Lingwei sighed deeply. None of her twelve younger brothers and sisters were easy to deal with.
She felt like a mother hen, with endless worries.
When Yue Mingxi and the other six saw their leader frown, they were startled and immediately stopped their playful antics.
The main character is as obedient as a dog.
Yue Mingxi asked cautiously, "Boss, has Shenyang's family encountered some danger?"
Sheng Lingwei nodded, her tone filled with disappointment.
"Yes, their grandparents and parents in this world were captured and forced to work in an iron mine. Luckily, they were smart this time and managed to escape and call for help."
Shenyang and Shenxin hung their heads, not daring to say a word.
The eldest brother is right. It's because he and his sister are so useless. They have superhuman strength but have no use for it, and they've even caused their family to fall into this predicament.
I am truly ashamed to face my family, my eldest brother, and my brothers and sisters.
Luo Xingyuan instantly became tense and worried, and reached out to pat Chen Xin's shoulder reassuringly.
"Boss, what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and rescue them! Every minute we delay increases the danger, and time waits for no one!"
Fang Xiuer nodded in agreement.
"Yes, boss. Let's set off to rescue them now. It's been several days since Shenyang and the others escaped from the mine and arrived at Black Wind Village."
Chen Xin said softly, "Five days have passed. My brother and I originally planned to escape with our family."
But my grandparents are old and in poor health. The heavy snow made them even more vulnerable to the cold.
Later, my parents decided that we should escape first, and then we would try to rescue them.
My brother and I managed to escape, but we were unfamiliar with the area and didn't know the way. We had to ask for directions along the way before we finally found Black Wind Village.
Shen Yang's eyes were red, and his tone was full of remorse.
"Boss, my sister and I don't want to abandon our family and run away, but unfortunately the mine is impregnable, with many soldiers stationed there."
It's easy for us to escape on our own, but it's much more difficult if we try to escape with our families; we'd be easily discovered by the soldiers.
"Yes, boss." Shen Xin hurriedly raised her little head to look at Sheng Lingwei, her clear stupidity almost overflowing in her eyes.
"Boss, there are many people in the mine, men, women, young and old. My brother and I roughly counted, and there are about 20,000 to 30,000 people."
Most of them were captured and taken to the mines while fleeing famine, while others, like our family, were simply passing through Xianyang County when they were captured and taken to the mines.
At this point, Chen Xin puffed out her slightly red cheeks and said angrily, "Boss, you don't know, those soldiers are just too hateful. They don't take the people in the mine seriously at all."
If you work too slowly, you get a beating; if you speak too loudly, you get another beating; and if anyone dares to run away, they are killed on the spot.
Furthermore, many of those who were arrested and forced to mine had no clothes to wear, were constantly hungry and cold, yet still had to go mining.
Deaths are commonplace; it would be abnormal if someone didn't die every day.
Those who died were dragged directly to the hilltop next to the mine, and their bodies were simply left there.
Some were already bare bones, while others were rotting and decaying, the stench of which could be smelled from a great distance.
That mountain has become a favorite spot for crows, and their unpleasant and disgusting cries can be heard all day long.
In short, the corpses were piled up like mountains, a truly gruesome sight!
Luo Xingyuan's sense of justice exploded instantly, and she was furious: "Is this mining or hell on earth? Damn it, these beasts are even more beastly than the beasts in the advanced world."
Liang Tianling, Yue Mingxi, and Fang Xiuer also didn't have a good look on their faces, but they were more rational and didn't immediately start cursing.
At this moment, Jing Qingyun entered the room, bringing with her a chill. When she saw the angry and serious expressions on everyone's faces, her eyes darkened, and she immediately asked a question.
"Weiwei, what's wrong? Have you encountered a difficult problem?"
Yue Mingxi, being the most talkative, immediately launched into a detailed account of the Shen siblings' story.
After hearing the details, Jing Qingyun's deep eyes flashed with a chilling light. She exhaled a long breath and began to analyze:
"If it's a mine in another place, without a doubt, it must have been authorized by the previous dog emperor."
But this mine is located in Xianyang County. So here's the problem: Xianyang County is the fiefdom of Prince Wu'an, Sheng Kun. It's not surprising that such things could happen in his fiefdom.
Sheng Lingwei raised an eyebrow. "Xiao Yunzi, what do you mean by that?"
Jing Qingyun's lips curled up, her sarcasm undisguised.
"Wu'an Prince Shengkun is the half-brother of the dog emperor Shengwei. His ambition is no less than Shengwei's, but he is not as lucky as Shengwei, and therefore he missed the throne."
Even though he was granted the title of Prince of Wu'an by the deceased emperor, who also bestowed upon him the rich Xianyang Prefecture of Northern Qi as his fief.
But his ambition did not diminish; instead, he learned to lie low, secretly amassing troops, manufacturing weapons, and stockpiling provisions without ceasing.
Sheng Lingwei frowned and voiced her doubts.
"Xiao Yunzi, that dog emperor is narrow-minded. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to tolerate Sheng Kun, so why has he allowed Sheng Kun to live until now?"
Jing Qingyun sneered, "That's because Sheng Kun has a get-out-of-jail-free card, so he doesn't dare to easily make a move against him."
"I see."
Sheng Lingwei's lips curled up. "The dog emperor is afraid of the death-exemption token, but I, Sheng Lingwei, am not afraid at all. I'm going to be the guillotine that kills people."
Jing Qingyun smiled indulgently, "Weiwei, there's no need for you to be the guillotine. I'll do it, so you don't get your hands dirty."
Sheng Lingwei smiled and winked at Jing Qingyun, "Little Yunzi, Sheng Kun's matter is no small thing. We need to deal with not only him, but also other people related to him."
Whether they are soldiers he trained, his lackeys, or people who secretly defect to him, we cannot let them go.
In addition, write a letter to Sheng Haoyu, asking him to arrange for a trustworthy person to take over Xianyang County as soon as possible. The mines will remain with him, but the rest will be our service fee.
Hehe, aren't readily available gold and silver more appealing? Aren't readily available weapons more appealing?
She put them all into her spatial storage; she certainly didn't want too little!
