The state has explicitly banned private mining of iron ore, and several iron mines are heavily guarded. Unexpectedly, there is another iron mine here, but it has been controlled.
Mo Xuan thought to himself that this person might be trying to win over him. If he failed to win over, they might not be able to get out alive.
The man looked at Mo Xuan's expression, ranging from shock to horror to the point where his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk.
The man supported Mo Xuan, "Is Mr. Mo so shocked?"
Mo Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his head, "Well... this is private iron ore mining, a capital crime."
The trembling voice didn't seem to be fake. Although the man hated him for showing such a cowardly look, he was a little satisfied. Being timid is good. If you are timid, you can grasp the handle and make it easier to win over.
The man chuckled, "What's the point? My master... is a man who does big things!"
Master? It seems that it is impossible to pry open the opponent's mouth. These people are either private soldiers or dead soldiers, and the most important thing is loyalty.
Mo Xuan was pulled around and it was only then that he was sure that this was an important military area and that all the missing villagers were here.
The reason why the water flow was cut off was because it was known that making weapons here required a lot of cold water, so the river was cut off and only supplied to this place.
The man was talking, while Mo Xuan looked dazed and had a forced smile, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock.
The man curled his lips in boredom and ordered someone to roast the whole lamb and make delicious food.
Although Mo Xuan's people were not released, no one treated them harshly. They were provided with good food and drink, and even wine.
Only Mo Xuan and a group of people were left drinking during the banquet. These people looked serious before, but they were very relaxed at the wine table. They took turns and started to make Mo Xuan drink.
Mo Xuan pretended that he couldn't shirk it, so he had no choice but to make peace. After drinking a few drinks, Mo Xuan's face was red and he was a little drunk.
His tongue was so big, "Xiaguan... I really... hiccup... I can't drink any more. If I... drink any more... I'll spit it out!"
Seeing that his expression didn't look fake, the man waved his hand to tell his subordinates to stop drinking.
"Master Mo is too drunk, why don't you take a rest for the night? I'll go shopping with you tomorrow?"
"Okay...ok!"
A man stepped forward and picked up Mo Xuan. He staggered to his feet and almost fell to his knees on the ground.
Then the whole person collapsed on the person.
"Boss, let me help him down first."
"Um."
After a while, I saw that the person was drowsy and quickly waved him off.
No one here had drunk enough. Someone smacked his lips and said, "Boss, is it necessary to win over Mr. Mo? Is a supervisor from the capital useful to us?"
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not drunk at all. "Observe these two days to see if there is any need to win over him. If not, kill him directly!"
"Yes, boss."
Mo Xuan was helped onto the bed, and as soon as it touched the pillow, he started snoring like thunder.
The person who gave him away muttered in a low voice, "This man is really heavy... Hehe, he has such a nice face. If he stays..."
These people have not seen women all year round, and the boss of the captured ones will not let them move freely, leaving only fixed ones for them to use to vent their sexual desires.
Some of these people like women, while others are not taboo between men and women.
The man resisted the urge to take action, shook his head sadly, and then left.
At this time, he didn't see that the body of the person on the bed suddenly stiffened.
As soon as the door closed, Mo Xuan immediately opened his eyes, not feeling drunk at all.
Thinking of the man who helped him in, he felt a chill in his body. These people were really crazy.
What he encountered today was so shocking that even he, who had always been calm, found it difficult.
What are you doing privately building weapons, privately mining iron ore, and privately raising troops? Rebellion?
He turned over and faced inside. At this time, he couldn't sleep anymore. What he wanted to think about now was how to delay for a few days until the soldiers from the imperial court came over.
It's too dangerous here. I don't know how many people there are, how strong they are, and whether there are any other large weapons.
He didn't dare to act rashly, fearing that it would be the end if these people became alert.
I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I was really sleepy, so I fell asleep.
The next day, he woke up from a sudden noise.
The sound was that of soldiers practicing.
He had been to General Lu's military camp and was familiar with the sound. He didn't expect these people to be so disciplined.
He walked out of the door and bumped into a sergeant standing in front of the door.
"Master Mo, you are awake. The boss asked me to bring you hot water so that you can clean yourself."
Mo Xuan stopped and scrubbed? Why does it sound so awkward? Especially knowing that someone here actually liked a man made him feel uncomfortable.
Mo Xuan took the basin with a stiff face, "Thank you!"
"Lord Mo, you're welcome."
After a brief wash, when I came out again, the sound of training had stopped.
Their boss said he would take Mo Xuan for a walk, and he did so.
It was already evening when we arrived yesterday. Although the lights were bright, we couldn't see the whole picture. Only then did we realize that this place is not as big as usual.
According to the normal configuration of the military camp, those dormitories alone can accommodate 5,000 people, which is not a small number.
Mo Xuan calculated silently in his heart, shocked by this power and feeling more dignified.
"Master Mo, how am I doing here?"
Mo Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "The combination of offensive defense and environment here is the most suitable defense, and the advantages are maximized."
The man smiled, "Master Mo, I can't tell you clearly now, but our master is very powerful, comparable to the capital, and his armed force is not weak either."
Mo Xuan was silent for a while, and then he sighed leisurely, "Are you telling me this to get me to join the gang? If your master raises an army and fails, won't I want to kill the Nine Clans?"
"What if it succeeds? If it succeeds, it will be the result of following the dragon!"
Mo Xuan was silent, and after a while he cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, can you let me think about it for a few days?"
The man nodded. If Mo Xuan agreed directly, he would still be worried that the other party's motives were impure.
"Okay, then Master Mo will stay here for a few more days, and I will enjoy the friendship of the landlord as much as possible."
Lord Mo agreed. The man seemed very busy and left after saying a few words.
Since Mo Xuan was wandering around the base, anyone who was not allowed to enter would be politely stopped.
Mo Xuan didn't break in forcefully, but he could feel that there should be a warehouse or an armory or other important place inside.
There was always someone following behind him, and Mo Xuan didn't make random inquiries. He was almost done shopping and it was time to have lunch.
Lunch still had a lot of vegetables and meat, and knowing that Mo Xuan's drinking capacity was average, these people wouldn't feed him too much.
Just knowing how masculine these people were, he couldn't stay any longer. After dinner, he went back to the room without saying a few words.
The man was very satisfied with Mo Xuan's self-consciousness. He knew everything he should know and didn't ask about anything he shouldn't know.
The rest depends on how the person chooses.
The county town did not become chaotic because of the disappearance of Mo Xuan and others, but still provided porridge in an orderly manner. (End of chapter)
