Chapter 476: Iron Mine

Qiu Wang didn't dare to delay after hearing this, and hurriedly packed up his belongings, then hitched up a carriage and took He An out.

However, he was stopped not far from the county seat.

"Master He'an, where are we going?" The person coming was none other than Bai Shu, the former general of the Orchid Kingdom. His skin was originally bronze, but at this time, his lips turned black and purple.

He An sighed and got out of the carriage: "General Bai." He knew that he couldn't run away if he wanted to, because this Bai Shu was no longer a normal person, but was tempered by the wise king with medicine and yin energy.

Becoming a medicine man is something he cannot handle with his current skills.

"Your Majesty is very disappointed with your performance." Bai Shu walked to He An step by step.

"My subordinate's injury has not healed yet. Please give me another chance, Your Majesty." He An became nervous and hurriedly cupped his fists and handed over his hands, "When my body is completely healed, then..."

"No, the prince never wants useless people, so..." Bai Shu snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and strangled He An's neck.

"Master." Qiu Wangyi saw it and hurriedly wanted to come over to rescue him, but was slapped to the ground and never got up again.

"I..." He An was so pinched that he rolled his eyes. Although he was not a good person, he didn't want to die. He struggled desperately, but the other party's hands were like pliers. As a last resort, he reached out and took out a talisman.

It hit Baizhu directly on the head.

Bai Shu was agitated by the talisman, and the strength in his hand relaxed.

He An hurriedly pushed the other person away, took out his dagger and plunged it into the horse's butt.

The horse pulling the cart was originally an ordinary horse, but after being stabbed in the butt, its explosive power was amazing, and it jumped out instantly.

The few people following Baizhu were startled and hurriedly moved aside to avoid being hit.

Bai Shu was entangled in the talisman at this time. He watched the carriage leave, but was unable to move. He could only struggle desperately. Finally, the talisman was shaken away by him and he could move. However, the carriage ran away.

He hurriedly shouted: "Chase."

He'an is very smart, how could he have been in the carriage all this time? Because he knew that his talisman could not stop him for a long time, so after running out for a while, he jumped out of the carriage and rolled down the hillside.

The hillside was not deep, so he just lay down in the yellowing hay and did not dare to move.

Sure enough, not long after, he saw Bai Shu and his men chasing after him.

When the person ran away, he breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of his injuries, he hurriedly left the hillside and ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction of the carriage.

After Bai Shu caught up with the carriage and shot the horse to death, he realized that he had been fooled, because there was no one on the carriage at all, so he couldn't help but kicked the carriage over: "Look for it."

However, after searching for a long time, no trace of He An was found, and in the end he could only leave in frustration.

He An was hiding in a cave at this time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he usually likes to carry a small bag with him, containing his talismans and some life-saving medicines. But when he escaped this time,

I didn't throw it away, it just came in handy.

After applying medicine to all the wounds on his body, he couldn't help but sigh. This time he saved his life, but what about next time?

He doesn't want to die.

However, those who can compete with the wise king...

Chu Xia, Nan Yichen and others have already gone up to Mo Mountain. If there was some speculation before, then it is completely certain after coming up. This is a large iron mine with a very rich iron content.

A few people walked around the hillside and found that there were people in the back mountain. There were already mines and even processing workshops. In other words, someone had already started mining iron ore and smelting it.

"There are quite a lot of people here. I'm afraid we just can't do it." Chu Xia looked at Nan Yichen and said, "We need to dispatch troops."

"Yeah." Nan Yichen nodded and asked Dongyang to handle it directly, "This place belongs to Fengyang County, and it's not far away. But I guess all the officials in Fengchi County have been incited to rebel, so I went to the military camp to transfer people."

If we go quickly from Tongjia Pass, it will only be a day's journey. It will be safer to dispatch the army of Lord Protector.

Dongyang didn't dare to delay, and left directly after saluting.

And soon, the secret guards who stayed outside received the signal and rushed over.

Nan Yichen left a few people to monitor the back mountain in the dark, and then returned to the inn with Chu Xia.

"Your guest is back? How was your visit?" the waiter greeted with a smile.

"Very good." Chu Xia replied with a smile, "The water is really black, it's magical."

"Of course." The waiter nodded and glanced at the people following him, "Is one of you not back?"

"I'm back." Nan Yichen glanced at the waiter, "I just bought something, he just paid the bill." Just as he said that, secret guard Xishan walked in.

"Send some food to the room." Chu Xia said and went upstairs with Nan Yichen.

The waiter frowned and glanced at Xishan's back. Was this the person we went out with just now? It didn't seem right, but it seemed like it was him.

Chu Xia looked back and saw the waiter's tangled eyebrows. She couldn't help but smile and pushed the door open and entered the room.

Soon, the waiter brought the food up.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chu Xia motioned and put the food on the table. "This is a reward for you." She said and handed two gold leaves to the waiter.

"Thank you, sir." The waiter happily accepted it, "Please be patient, sir. If you have anything to do, just call me." After saying that, he turned around and walked out. However, as soon as he reached the door, he fell to the ground with a thud.

Nan Yichen went over and lifted the person up and placed him on the ground in the back room.

The waiter couldn't move or speak, but his hearing was normal and he was conscious, so he knew clearly that he had been arrested.

"Let me guess, this Mo Town should be the territory of King Xian, right?" Chu Xia looked at the waiter, "Isn't he also mining the iron ore on Mo Mountain?"

The waiter's eyes widened slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"Thank you for telling me the answer." Chu Xia smiled, "Then let me ask another question. Have all the officials in Fengchi County also taken refuge in the King Xian?"

The waiter raised his eyelids and glanced at Chu Xia, then closed his eyes and said nothing.

"It turns out that they didn't surrender voluntarily, but were threatened." Chu Xia muttered to herself.

Xiao Er opened his eyes instantly and looked at Chu Xia in disbelief.
