After taking two steps, Zheng Shao pressed his palm on the bulge of the tree trunk, and heard a very subtle sound of the wood turning, followed by hundreds of iron needles flying out.
There was a small tree within the attack range that was less than two years old. Its slender branches were densely covered with iron needles. Just looking at it gave people goosebumps.
"Your Majesty, do you really need to know this secret?" The guards' throats trembled.
"You have to believe in yourselves." Yang Shu patted their shoulders.
"So, you can escape?" the guard blinked.
"Of course, the soul can leave the body in the shortest time."
Yang Shu's eyes scanned various hidden weapons, leaving no way out. Every step was in danger, and even if he had wings, he would be shot down.
Too cruel!
I have never seen anyone so enthusiastic about making honeycombs.
"Your Majesty, you can leave." Zheng Shao shouted to Yang Shu.
Yang Shu smiled back, lifted his somewhat stiff legs and stepped forward.
"What's hidden inside?"
Yang Shu had come to Xishan before to suppress bandits, but he really didn't think there was anything good in a bandit's nest. Plus the people ran away, so he didn't do much to explore it.
"I set up these mechanisms. People in the village thought I was hiding their own property. Some people tried to sneak in before, but they all died here."
"Because of the tragic death, everyone disliked me even more. They thought I was cruel and ruthless, even killing my own brothers."
While he was talking, Zheng Shao moved two rocks. He stopped and said, "Your Majesty, we need to clean up about ten meters of mud and rocks."
"It will take me a long time by myself. Can you ask your personal guards to help?"
Yang Shu nodded towards Fang Zhuang, wondering what he was hiding, why he had to spend so much effort to cover it up, and even when he got there, he wouldn't reveal a word.
The guard's speed was extremely fast, and a hole was dug out in no time.
"Your Majesty, ask them to retreat a hundred meters away."
Seeing Yang Shu looking at himself, Zheng Shao bent down and said, "The villain is looking for a way out, and he will never be tempted."
Zheng Shao was very sincere, but Yang Shu could not completely believe him. Many talented and beautiful people died of carelessness.
Yang Shu left Fang Zhuang and ten guards behind, and even though the Zheng post had three heads and six arms, it could not threaten him.
Yang Shu insisted, but Zheng Shao no longer insisted. He squatted down and started digging with the iron piece.
After about a quarter of an hour, he handed Yang Shu a silver stone the size of a baby's fist.
Yang Shu's pupils shrank suddenly.
Zheng Shao knew what he was suspicious of and said directly, "Your Majesty, I thought it was silver ore, very pure."
"I have not told anyone that no matter how barren the silver mine is, it cannot be eaten by the village. Their greed is too strong. If silver ore is found, they will definitely fight for it."
"You don't need outsiders to intervene, we can fight you to death from within."
"The silver mine will do no harm to the village."
"The villain is willing to follow the crown prince, even to death!" Zheng Shao looked at Yang Shu and expressed his loyalty.
Yang Shu's eyes were fixed on the pit where the silver ore was dug out, and his fingers tightened unconsciously. He had done good deeds, and God had given him money.
"Your Majesty, you are rich!" Fang Zhuang was very excited.
"Should I kill this?" Fang Zhuang pointed at Zheng Shao.
Yang Shu turned his eyes and glanced at Zheng Shao. Compared to Zhang Ling, he was much smarter. He was showing off himself all the way. When the value exceeds his life, the butcher's knife will naturally not fall.
"You can actually bring us here without touching the organs. Am I right?"
Zheng Shaotou lay on the ground, "I dare not deceive the prince, it is true."
"The villain wants to live and get ahead. The Crown Prince is the best among men, so the villain wants to seize this opportunity."
"The villain can discern the stars, his ears and eyes are supernormal, and he has some knowledge in the art of mechanism. Given time, the villain will definitely be able to solve the problems for the prince."
"Isn't it that you don't read a lot?" Yang Shu glanced at Zheng Shao. These people are all modest in their feelings, but he is the only one who is serious!
"The villain only attended school for two years when he was young. No one in the village likes writing. If there are books among the looted items, the villain will ask for them."
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, he is very capable and self-taught.
"You have a pair of wise eyes." Yang Shu helped Zheng Shao up and praised with a smile.
He has always used coercion and inducement to get people on board. This is the first time I see someone so eager to follow him. I have to say that he has a vicious look.
Yang Shu was very pleased. He had the spirit of a bastard, bah, the spirit of a tyrant was finally developed.
"Fang Zhuang, you guys come together and help him change his clothes. From now on, he will become one of his own family members. We should stay close to each other more often." Yang Shu said in an easy-going way.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Shao saluted deeply, his chest rising and falling slightly. He couldn't help but be excited. Yang Shu was a real nobleman, and only by following such a nobleman would he have the opportunity to make contributions.
Although Yang Shu still didn't trust him, the current result was the best for Zheng Shao.
The more cautious Yang Shu is, the more reassuring he is. People who are rash and reckless are not Mingzhu.
"It's taken so long to restore this place. Someone must have come from the foot of the mountain."
Yang Shu asked Fang Zhuang to follow him.
"Your Majesty, although Zheng Shao sympathizes with the weak and has compassion, it is only within his own ability. If he is asked to risk his life, he will not do it."
"Then you asked him what to do with the woman, and he was sweating a lot. If you hadn't spoken, he would have probably begged for mercy."
"Very greedy for life and afraid of death."
Yang Shu reached out towards Fang Zhuang, took the water bag and poured it on his face to wash away the blood stains. He threw the water bag back to Fang Zhuang.
"When did you have such high demands on a person?"
"My prince talks about kindness. Do you really think that we are holy fathers? Your own life is hanging on a tightrope. You still expect Zheng Shao to save the woman. What are you thinking?"
"If he were really a holy father, I wouldn't dare accept him if he begged me."
"I've started today, and I haven't seen you hesitate?" Yang Shu glanced at Fang Zhuang.
Fang Zhuang scratched his head, "Your Majesty, this is not because you are confused and think that he, like a personal guard, will protect you from danger."
"My heart is good, but even if I am here, why can't I become smarter?"
Yang Shu pinched his brows and said, "I asked you to get some clothes for him so that he can be taken away easily. As for getting close, you want to keep an eye on his every move to see if this person is truly submissive."
"Besides, I have no intention of keeping him by my side."
"When encountering danger, you still don't know who is protecting whom, which is a real hindrance."
"Zheng Shao is a talent, and talent should go where his value can be fully utilized."
Yang Shu looked at the village. He was planning to leave after the slaughter, but now he couldn't leave.
There is a silver mine in Xishan, which Yang Shu did not expect.
It is impossible to hand it over, it must be poached.
But this thing cannot be dug out in a short time, so I have to find an excuse.
Yang Shu turned the jade pendant and thought as he walked.
"Your Majesty!"
A loud shout rang out, and the short, fat middle-aged man's face was full of excitement. He rushed away from the guards and ran towards Yang Shu.
Yang Shu stared at his trembling long flesh, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Damn, pigs have evolved and can stand up and walk!
"How much money have you been greedy for? You ended up like this."
The magistrate of Liang County hiccupped immediately before he could catch his breath, and was shocked by Yang Shu's words.
Dui laughed, and the county magistrate said with concern: "Your Majesty, the bandits are vicious. How could you come here? What should you do if you are injured?"
Guards were guarding the mountain pass, and the county magistrate did not know the situation above.
