Look at these workers, and then look at this simple mine tunnel. The whole mountain is crumbling, and there are countless corpses buried here.
Working as a miner here, I don't know when I will die.
But even so, these people are willing to do such dangerous work.
Can you imagine what life is like for other people?
This is a plot that can only be seen in movies and TV dramas, but when such a scene actually unfolded in front of him, Bai Song felt an indescribable heavy feeling in his heart.
"Why don't these people know what's good and what's good?" Long Shanshan said impatiently from behind, "We are here to rescue you, who will arrest you and join the army? Leave now and take the mountain road to Jingzhou, where there are more
It’s safe, you can come back when the war in Yizhou subsides!”
The workers gradually became quiet after hearing this. When they saw the messenger of the Holy Lotus Sect being caught by Longshan Mountain, they seemed to trust a little in their hearts.
No one in Yizhou dares to treat the envoys of the Holy Lotus Sect like this!
One of them asked tentatively: "Can we really leave?"
"Of course, leave quickly." Bai Song said calmly, "No one will come after you."
"But our family is still in Fuling City."
Bai Song frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing to help, we will enter Fuling City together and rescue your family members."
…
In the evening, the heavy rain continued.
The soldiers on duty at Fuling City were shivering from the cold.
"Hey, you can't find peace anywhere these days. I thought I would have some free time when I came to Fuling, but I didn't expect that the heavy rain will never stop. Look at the water under the city. If it continues like this, sooner or later the city will be destroyed.
Rushed."
"Stop complaining. It's better to be soaked in the rain here than to die on the front line. We are not as good as the nobles of the Holy Religion. They give us an order and tell us to charge desperately. If we stay here, we can save our lives."
"Are we here to save our lives? There's no guarantee that one day an army will be killed below the city. How can we defend this tiny little town?"
"This is the hinterland of Yizhou, surrounded by mountains on three sides. Where can an army sneak in? Unless..."
While they were talking, another person had already stood up. The person looked at the darkness in the distance, raised the torch and waved it, and then asked seriously: "Look, is there anyone over there?"
"Is there someone? How is that possible?"
Both of them had some doubts. The evening in the heavy rain was the same as the middle of the night, and they couldn't see clearly what was happening in the distance.
The two of them were wondering when a torch suddenly lit up in the distance. The flames were as weak as fireflies in the heavy rain, but they were still visible.
The following is a response to the tower.
"The following is the team returning from the mine?"
"It shouldn't be...isn't it time to return yet?"
The two waited on the city tower for a while. The team below had already reached the city gate. The soldier upstairs asked: "Who is it?"
"We came back from the mines."
"There are still two days until the scheduled date, why did you come back early?"
"Heavy rain caused mudslides, causing heavy damage to the mine tunnels and killing many people. It is no longer possible to stay there."
The soldiers guarding the city frowned, looking a little troubled, and muttered: "What is going on?! Wait a minute, I'll come down and take a look!"
The soldiers went down from the city tower despite the rain, opened the city gate a crack, went out alone, and stopped in front of the incoming team.
In the heavy rain, the soldier didn't want to stop for a moment and hurriedly asked: "Who is taking the lead?"
The middle-aged man in a raincoat took off his bamboo hat and said coldly: "It's me."
"Hey, it turns out it's the envoy. You've come back in person. It seems like something big has happened!"
"Stop talking nonsense and open the city gate!"
"Yes!" The soldier said no more and turned around to give a slogan. When he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" the soldier exclaimed, "Sir Messenger, why are there so many more people in your team, and why are there still some women?"
"A team of people who got lost in the mountains were brought back by the way."
"Oh, so that's it..." The soldier suddenly realized, waving his hand, "Open the city gate."
Although Fuling City is small, it is also an important road on the way to Sichuan. Watching the city gate slowly open, Bai Song, who was mixed in the crowd, winked at the people around him.
In the heavy rain, everyone's hands were on their weapons.
The large army slowly entered the city facing the miners in front.
There are more than 2,000 troops stationed in Fuling City. Bai Song led more than a hundred people and was determined to capture the city. What kind of crazy idea was this?
Bai Song's plan was to launch a direct attack as long as all the troops entered the city, so as to catch the defenders here by surprise.
Everyone was looking for a suitable opportunity, but the middle-aged man who was not wanting to walk in front suddenly rebelled. With a movement of his energy, his speed increased sharply, and he ran ten meters away in an instant. He stopped and turned around and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack! Quick.
Get rid of this group of people quickly and kill them without mercy!"
As soon as these words came out, the few soldiers at the city gate were stunned.
Bai Song and others were also stunned, and then became furious.
Bai Song shouted: "Do it!"
In an instant, all kinds of true energy overflowed, and figures flew everywhere like lightning in the dark night. The soldiers at the door were instantly eliminated.
The middle-aged man knew that everyone in this group had special skills, so he didn't dare to fight head-on, so he turned around and ran away.
He ran away, but he still said tauntingly: "A group of guys who don't know the heights of the sky. A mere hundred people want to capture Fuling City."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man felt a familiar aura behind him, and felt frightened in his heart. When he looked back, he saw another invisible sword chasing after him.
The middle-aged man quickly dodged and finally escaped.
The next second, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, pointing his fingers together towards his heart.
This middle-aged man was also very skilled in kung fu. He immediately raised his energy and punched the opponent.
But when his fist collided with these two fingers, it felt like he was stabbed by an indestructible sword. A burst of true energy instantly penetrated the entire arm, and it felt like every inch of the bones in the body were exploding.
The pain was indescribable. The middle-aged man flew backwards in an instant, vomiting blood and fell into the rain.
When the middle-aged man was in despair, a team came from behind. They were all uniformed in the uniforms of the Holy Lotus Sect, and there were a hundred people in uniform.
The middle-aged man stood up and shouted: "Stop him! Stop him!"
The Holy Lotus Sect troops stationed in Fuling City also responded quickly enough. Just one minute after Bai Song shouted to take action, torches were lit everywhere in the city, and an unknown number of soldiers rushed towards them.
This hundred-man team looked at the lonely Jian Shisan in front of them. They didn't even have weapons in their hands and didn't take it to heart at all. The leading general shouted loudly and pointed at Jian Shisan. The team roared and rushed forward.
"No matter how powerful a martial artist is, he is still vulnerable to the army!" The middle-aged man stood up, with one hand hanging down and the other covering his ears, but he still showed a cold smile.
In his opinion, even if ordinary warriors have extraordinary abilities, they will still face a dead end when facing a formally trained army.
But he didn't understand that the person in front of him was not an ordinary warrior just because of his sword-wielding skills.
