Toto's eyes shone, and his curiosity seemed to be aroused.
He followed Lu Ning carefully, nimbly and dexterously dodged the officers and soldiers along the way, and arrived in front of the cave.
However, there were too many prisoners entering and exiting the cave, and the cave was heavily guarded, so they could not get any closer.
The officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave were all fierce, tall, and full of anger.
Everyone has a whip in their hand. If they see anyone moving slowly or stopping halfway, they will go up and give them a few whips.
Those prisoners, whose faces were ashen and hopeless, were beaten all over with bruises and were naked, but they never dared to beg for mercy or shout, they just gritted their teeth and allowed them to beat and scold them.
The two of them looked at each other for a while and suddenly felt so angry that they could not help but tremble with anger.
"How dare these idiots bully people like this? I won't beat the shit out of them!" Toto couldn't hold himself back any longer.
Lu Ning grabbed him and told him in a low voice: "Brother, don't do it! If we take action now, we have no chance of winning, and we will still scare the snake. Maybe after we leave, they will kill all these people in a rage.
Got it!"
"Then what should we do now?" Toto clenched his fists and shouted through gritted teeth: "There are people guarding there, and we can't get in either!" jj.br
Lu Ning looked at Toto and then at himself, and suddenly an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Brother, help me quietly knock someone out. I'll put on his clothes and go inside to have a look!"
Toto was startled and shouted: "How can that be done? Those officers and soldiers have no humanity! If you don't like it, I'll give you a few more whips and you won't need your body anymore!"
Lu Ning frowned slightly and urged: "Stop being wordy, it's almost dawn! Don't worry! I will be very careful and won't give them a chance to hit me!"
Totu didn't dare to disobey Lu Ning, no matter how reluctant he was, he still had to get up and leave.
In the blink of an eye, Toto dragged over a prisoner who was about the same size as Lu Ning, took off his clothes and threw them to Lu Ning in a hidden place.
Before Lu Ning received the clothes, she smelled a sour smell. She held her breath, quickly put on her clothes, and then took a breath.
Immediately, she glanced at the knocked unconscious man on the ground, and secretly apologized in her heart - I'm sorry, I'll lend you some clothes to wear, this is also to save you! My sworn brother is heavy-handed, but he doesn't mean any harm, don't be angry!
Not daring to delay, Lu Ning pushed the man's car, took the opportunity to join the working team, lowered his head and followed the others towards the mountains.
Approaching the entrance of the cave, Lu Ning raised his eyes and looked around carefully:
This is a small cave entrance at the foot of the mountain, which seems to have been dug out manually. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate don't even look at the people entering the mountain, and just let them in.
Lu Ning followed them into the cave and found that the inside of the cave was the same size as the entrance, not spacious. The cave was very dark, and the candles on several candlesticks on both sides of the wall were about to burn out.
Lu Ning pushed the cart and walked inside for a while, and then the cave suddenly became clear.
Inside, a group of shackled people were digging in a large pit and throwing out lumps of earth.
The prisoner squatting next to him picked up the dirt and cleaned it, revealing a black stone.
The person pushing the cart bent down to pick up the stones and put them on the cart. When the cart was full, he covered it with linoleum and pushed it out into the cave.
When Lu Ning saw this, he suddenly realized: It turns out that there is an iron mine hidden in this military camp!
No wonder we don’t know where King Yi’s iron mine is. It seems that it was cleverly “hidden” by Ma Sanbao.
This Ma Sanbao was indeed a smart and cunning person. Lu Ning suddenly felt that it would not be easy to deal with this person!
She took advantage of others' unpreparedness, knelt down, picked up an iron block and looked at it carefully, and suddenly she became confused: Could it be that Magistrate Cai and the gangsters from the caravan were also involved in the private mining of iron mines?
She stood up, avoided the crowd, and quickly turned around in the cave.
I discovered that at the very end of the cave, there was a passage that could only be passed by one person.
Is it in the corridor?
There was no candlelight and it was completely dark, so she could only bravely explore in the dark.
At the end of the corridor, there is a stone gate more than three feet high.
She pushed hard, but the stone door didn't move at all. She groped carefully again, but couldn't see any mechanism.
She turned around and saw the crowds of people outside the corridor. It seemed like someone would come in at any time, so she didn't dare to stay any longer. She immediately returned the same way and walked out of the corridor.
Lu Ning walked back to the car, followed the example of others, loaded up the silver, and covered it with linoleum. Just as she was about to push the cart away, she then thought about it and picked up two more iron blocks and put them in her arms.
An old voice suddenly sounded in my ear: "You will be caught!"
Lu Ning was startled, and quickly turned around to see an old man with a haggard face looking at her: "Young man, are you new here? You don't know that you can't take anything away from here.
Yes! It’s better to let it go and stay alive, maybe one day you can escape!”
Lu Ning was puzzled and asked in a rough voice: "There are so many people coming in and out, how do they know?"
The old man took a breath and explained: "They don't care about the people who enter the cave, but they will carefully search everyone who goes out. You won't be able to take even a scrap out. If you are caught, not only will you be beaten to death
, they will also be skinned and made into scarecrows to be displayed to the public!”
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment and was secretly shocked - he was going to be searched when he came out of the cave?
It seems that no matter what happens today, I will be exposed! In this case, simply bring something as evidence, it is not a wasted trip!
As soon as her thoughts came to her mind, she cupped her hands towards the old man and said with a smile, "Thank you for the advice, old man!"
The old man looked at her deeply, then turned and left.
Lu Ning carried a few pieces of iron in his arms, pushed the cart and followed the crowd outside.
However, before reaching the entrance of the cave, people exiting the cave were already lined up, waiting to be searched.
Lu Ning carefully poked his head out and took a look, and saw the officers and soldiers at the entrance of the cave. Two of them were responsible for searching the body, while the rest of the officers and soldiers were standing around with weapons in hand to monitor.
She thought to herself: From this point of view, it is absolutely impossible to avoid being searched!
She quietly took out the nine-section whip from her waist, wrapped it around her wrist, and covered it with her long sleeves.
The prisoners walked out one by one, and finally it was Lu Ning's turn.
She walked over slowly with her head lowered, raised her eyes and glanced in the direction where Toto was hiding. Behind the rubble, she could see a corner of his clothes swinging in the wind, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
The two officers and soldiers responsible for the body search stopped her and said viciously: "Stop! Search her!"
Lu Ning stood still and clenched the nine-section whip tighter: If they dared to touch her, she would take action!
"Wait a minute!" An officer and soldier with a green beard looked at her suspiciously: "Why does this person look unfamiliar to me? Look up!"
Lu Ning didn't dare to raise his head and could only try to deal with it: "I'm new here!"
The officer and soldier wondered: "New here? I haven't seen anyone new recently! When did you come?"
Lu Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm and said, "I am... I just came here a few days ago..."
When several officers and soldiers looked at Lu Ning's appearance, they suddenly became confused and gathered around him: "Lift your heads and show us!"
Lu Ning had no choice but to slowly raise his head, but lowered his eyes and did not look at them. The nine-section whip in his sleeve tightened tighter and tighter.
An officer and soldier narrowed his eyes at her and said in a deep voice: "The people who work here are all prisoners. This man has a handsome face. Although he is slender, there are no wounds on his body. He does not look like a prisoner!"
Another officer and soldier also echoed: "The more you talk about it, the more I think this person looks suspicious."
The officers and soldiers with green beards pointed their knives at Lu Ning and shouted angrily: "Hands up, we want to search you."
Lu Ning frowned and said coldly: "Masters, I didn't take anything!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" the officer and soldier cursed fiercely: "Everyone who goes out will be searched!"
Lu Ning knew that he could no longer hide, so he suddenly raised his head, looked at the two officers and soldiers and smiled coldly: "I have a special status.
"Shu, come closer and I'll tell you!"
The two officers and soldiers glanced at each other and approached slowly and hesitantly. However, they saw a cold light flash from Lu Ning's hand, and their necks were immediately tightly wrapped with a nine-section whip.
Lu Ning turned around and pulled hard, only to hear a few clear "click" sounds, and the two people's necks were instantly twisted, and they fell to the ground dead.
When the officers and soldiers holding weapons saw this, they immediately gathered around.
Lu Ning shouted loudly in the direction where Toto was hiding: "Toto, come and help!"
Before she finished speaking, she drew back her nine-section whip and turned around to fight with them.
Although she was highly skilled in martial arts, she still found it difficult to face the well-trained and large number of officers and soldiers. Seeing more and more officers and soldiers running from a distance, Lu Ning gradually found it difficult to resist, and she couldn't help but feel frightened.
Suddenly, a huge object fell from the sky, a golden light flashed in its hand, and several bloody holes suddenly appeared on the heads of several officers and soldiers who were close by, and they fell to the ground and expired on the spot.
The officers and soldiers behind were frightened by the tragic sight of the dead bodies on the ground, and felt frightened and did not dare to approach for a while.
Toto took the opportunity to pick up Lu Ning and rushed out of the crowd with a few strides. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dark night without a trace.
After breaking into the assassin, countless torches suddenly lit up throughout the military camp.
All the officers and soldiers ran out of the camp, holding torches in one hand and weapons in the other, looking for the assassin's footprints everywhere.
Toto was agile and quickly ran out of the military camp with Lu Ning in his arms. He immediately found a hiding place and hid for a rest.
Lu Ning stuck his head out and took a look at the situation in the military camp: "Brother, I have to go back."
Toto shouted excitedly: "We have all been exposed, why are you going back? Do you really want to fight them head-on?"
Lu Ning smiled nonchalantly: "If we make such a big noise, Ma Sanbao will definitely take action! If I miss it, our trip will be in vain!"
Toto thought for a long time and knew that he could not defeat her, so he followed her reluctantly, found a place where he could see the Chinese army's tent, hid and watched what happened.
After a while, the door of the Chinese army's tent was indeed pushed open.
Ma Sanbao walked out of the door naked, glaring sternly at the officers and soldiers running past him.
Suddenly, he grabbed a person and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
The captured officer and soldier did not dare to raise his head to look at him. He only lowered his head and whispered: "General Qi, two assassins came to the military camp just now. Not only did they break into the iron mine, they also escaped..."
Ma Sanbao's face turned livid and he cursed angrily: "A bunch of trash!"
As he spoke, he suddenly let go of his hand, and the officer and soldier rolled away and fled.
Lu Ning, who was hiding in the dark, saw the naked Ma Sanbao and immediately turned around with a blushing face.
Toto pushed her shoulder: "Look over there!"
Lu Ning'e raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Don't look, don't look! I'm afraid of getting the eye of a needle!"
Toto grinned and said with a smile: "Another person comes out, and it's still someone you know!"
Lu Ning still didn't look back and asked angrily: "Who is it?"
