1025 Life and Death, Bloodbath in the City Lord's Mansion
Feng Qingchen didn't know how long she had stayed in the secret cave. She only knew that she was hungry and thirsty, and her body was hot and cold, and she felt very uncomfortable...
This is simply torture!
Feng Qingchen's face was in tears. Although the people who captured her did not torture her, this kind of cold violence was more terrifying than torture. She had no food or water, and if she wanted to urinate or defecate, she could only do so in this cave.
"Fortunately, I have a smart medical kit, otherwise I would have died of starvation, thirst, or illness before anyone came to rescue me." Feng Qingchen carefully opened the smart medical kit again and took out water and compressed food from it.
Originally, in order not to attract attention, Feng Qingchen had not taken out his outdoor stuff. This group of people were already dizzy, and Feng Qingchen did not care about so much. He took out a windbreaker and wrapped himself up.
"Please, even if no one comes to save me, someone come and tell me that someone still remembers my existence." Feng Qingchen waved the emergency light and swept it across the wall. There were several bullet holes on the wall. Those were made by Feng Qingchen when he was in better spirits.
She was unwell and couldn't move, but she couldn't just sit there and wait to die. She had to find a way out, but... it was so damn frustrating. There were caves on all sides and there was no way out. Feng Qingchen tried using a knife and a gun, but to no avail.
"Are you trying to lock me up until I die?"
Feng Qingchen hugged her knees with both hands and shed tears silently: "Ninth Uncle, why don't you come? If you don't come, I will really die."
“It’s so cold!”
When people are on the verge of despair, it is easy for them to lose the will to live. If Feng Qingchen had not believed that the Ninth Prince would definitely come to rescue her, she and her group would definitely have been lying on the ground waiting to die.
In this secret cave, even if she had a smart medical kit, she wouldn't be able to survive for long. She would either starve to death or suffocate to death. She couldn't get out on her own.
The motivation for Feng Qingchen to live was Uncle Nine, and it was Uncle Nine that kept Feng Qingchen from collapsing. If it weren't for Uncle Nine's belief that he would definitely come to save her, Feng Qingchen wouldn't have been able to stay alive for even a second...
Outside the cave, people from Taicheng were also talking about Feng Qingchen: "Master, it's been two days and one night. We left Feng Qingchen there without caring about her. What if she dies?"
There are many secret caves like that in Taicheng City. Generally, people who have committed serious crimes are imprisoned there. Those imprisoned there will die in the secret caves within three days, dying in despair.
"If she's dead, then send the body to the Ninth Uncle. I only said that I would hand Feng Qingchen over to the Ninth Uncle. Whether she's dead or alive is none of my business." The man called Young Master was the light gray-clothed man before, Tai Shao, the Lord of Taicheng.
"Master, wouldn't we be offending the Ninth Uncle by doing this?" said Mr. Zhuge.
"We have offended you, but Dong Ling has occupied our Taicheng's gold mine and won't allow us to kill anyone to vent our hatred." Tai Shao raised his eyebrows. He didn't care about Feng Qingchen's life or death.
Feng Qingchen's use to him was to threaten the Ninth Uncle, and now the effect has been achieved. As for Feng Qingchen's life or death, he doesn't care.
"Young Master, the Ninth Prince thinks highly of Feng Qingchen. If anything happens to Feng Qingchen, I'm afraid he will become hostile to our Taicheng." Mr. Zhuge said worriedly.
As soon as Mr. Zhuge finished speaking, Xiao Yang immediately stood up and advised: "Master, Mr. Zhuge is right. In my opinion, the Ninth Prince is not an ordinary person. If we really fight him, although we are not afraid of Taicheng, it will be a trouble after all."
When Xiao Yang thought about the scene of delivering the letter today, he couldn't help but feel cold down his spine. However, for the sake of saving his reputation, he didn't tell anyone the specific process, so the people in Taicheng didn't know that Xiao Yang was so scared by the Ninth Prince that he collapsed on the ground.
Tai Shao thought about it and didn't want to bother about such a small matter, so he gave in: "Okay, let him out at dawn tomorrow."
Xiao Yang and Mr. Zhuge breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Xiao Yang thought that at least he didn't have to confront the evil Ninth Uncle. Mr. Zhuge thought that at least he could keep Feng Qingchen's order. It wasn't easy for him.
The Governor of Shandong was quite efficient. He handed over the three thousand troops to the Ninth Prince's uncle that very night. The Ninth Prince was a little surprised at the Governor of Shandong's decisiveness, but when he saw the three thousand old, weak and disabled soldiers, he understood the Governor of Shandong's plan.
Want to die? He will help you!
The Ninth Prince looked deeply at the Governor of Shandong. Just when the Governor of Shandong thought that the Ninth Prince would be furious and refuse, the Ninth Prince said nothing and accepted these three thousand men who were obviously unable to fight.
The Governor of Shandong prepared a lot of words to respond to the Ninth Prince's provocation, but in the end he didn't use a single word. He just stood there stupidly, watching the Ninth Prince leave.
Not long after the Ninth Prince took in these three thousand men, he received news about the gold mine and the clues tracked by the secret guards.
After receiving the letter from Taicheng, the Ninth Prince ordered the secret guards to investigate Feng Qingchen's whereabouts. Now it has been confirmed that the person has arrived in Taicheng.
As for the gold mine, it was true. There was indeed a gold mine at the junction of Taicheng and Shandong. The gold mine was located in Xiaoqi Mountain and was first discovered by people from Taicheng. Before Taicheng had mined it, the Lu family discovered it. After a fierce battle, the Lu family drove the people from Taicheng out and fenced off Xiaoqi Mountain to monopolize the gold mine.
Taicheng negotiated with Shandong about this matter, but the Governor of Shandong refused to deal with it because there was a dispute over the territory of Xiaoqishan. He only allowed Taicheng to negotiate with the Lu family privately, and he did not care.
As for the gold mine, the Governor of Shandong pretended to be ignorant from beginning to end, insisting that Xiaoqishan was not in Shandong and that he knew nothing.
Taicheng was so angry that he was jumping up and down, but he couldn't send a large number of troops. Once Taicheng sent troops, it would surely attract Dongling's powerful troops. Then... Dongling would have an excuse to destroy Taicheng.
But they couldn't ask Taicheng to just accept it and swallow their anger, so... they picked the weakest persimmon, and Taicheng Lord Tai Shao picked the Ninth Prince.
Tai Shao kidnapped Feng Qingchen and exchanged her for the Xiaoqishan gold mine. As for how the Ninth Prince would get the gold mine, or whether he could get it, Tai Shao didn't care. Anyway, without the gold mine, he would not hand over Feng Qingchen.
"Every one of them is great. Am I so easy to bully and fool? Lu family, Taicheng, I've got it in mind." The Ninth Prince's voice was chilling: "Someone come here!"
"Master!" At the door, eight generals came out. These eight people had been hiding in the personal guard camp before, but if you look closely, you will find that the aura of these eight people is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"Send the Black Cavalry into Taicheng. I will massacre the City Lord's Mansion of Taicheng." Without any hesitation, the Ninth Prince cruelly issued the order to kill.
The eight generals looked up in surprise, and seeing the furious Ninth Prince, they all lowered their heads and responded quickly.
Bloodbath at the City Lord's Mansion is just the first step!
