"My boss, I checked. This is the car going to the mine."
Under the official workshop, there are not only iron workshops, but also ore collecting departments such as mining workshops. This is actually easy to understand. To make weapons, iron ore must be used. With Da Ji Chao's cautious temperament, he would definitely not leave the matter of iron ore mining in the hands of the people.
Unless it means assigning some comprador tasks, such as miners. As long as you bring someone into the mine, you can get a sum of money.
Even Xu Mu didn't dare to think deeply about the details in it, for fear of being nauseated.
"Sanfu, where is the old villager who makes iron?"
"My boss, I saw him, he's also on the carriage."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. This accident caught him off guard.
"Brother Mu, if not, I'll fight you!" Si Hu said in a deep voice.
Sanfu who was standing next to him, and Zhou Zun who came over, both had cold expressions on their faces.
Xu Mu did not speak immediately, considering the feasibility of the matter. The previous killing of the horseshoe lake had already laid the seeds of disaster. Now, if you try again, you have to be extremely careful.
"Zhou Zun, don't follow me. When you enter Weicheng to invite martial arts practitioners, first send a few girls and the good horses you bought back to Zhuangzi."
Zhou Zun nodded hesitantly.
"Si Hu, San Fu, follow me."
The three of them quickly got on the carriage, followed the road ahead, and began to drive forward cautiously.
To be honest, Xu Mu has no good solution now. But no matter what, we can't just watch a dozen villagers being sent to the mines to work hard for half their lives.
"Sanfu, look at how many pairs of pockmarked noodles there are."
Sanfu in the carriage searched carefully.
"Master, there are still a few more!"
Cutting people off halfway, besides, it's official business. Without the pockmark covering his face, he would probably be discovered soon.
Si Hu was riding the reins very fast, his voice faintly filled with excitement.
"Brother Mu, don't worry, I have two tigers in hand, I can fight ten or eight, it's no problem -"
Xu Mu suddenly reached out and covered Si Hu's mouth.
Si Hu was startled and just about to ask, he suddenly found that the four or five carriages driving in front stopped suddenly.
According to Xu Mu's plan, he chose to take action in the old forest more than ten miles ahead. Unexpectedly, the car stopped suddenly.
The whimpering of the miserable woman and the roar of the young man could be heard from time to time in the night.
"My boss, it was those heroes who took action!"
Following Sanfu's call, Xu Mu looked again and found that in the dark night, about seven or eight figures holding swords suddenly rushed out from the nearby forest.
"Brother Mu, I'm going to help!" After picking up the pockmarked noodles, Si Hu was about to jump out of the car.
"return!"
Xia'er kills people, and when it's over, he brushes off his clothes and goes away. At worst, he waits for the officials to come and kill him again.
But they can't.
The old, weak, women and children in Zhuangzi alone are enough to make them worry a lot.
In these troubled times, if you can avoid disaster, do so first.
"Don't move, the heroes will kill you." Xu Mu lowered his voice. In Zhuangzi, there were less than fifty young people in total, and they were playing tricks on changing dynasties.
Toshiro Toshiro must be the opposite, and he must have secretly cultivated his power, but what he is doing now, he hasn't waited for the right opportunity, and he is not just a young master selling rice and grains on the surface.
Si Hu held the chopping knife and pursed his lips. After all, he listened to Xu Mu's words and stopped the carriage without moving.
After a long time, the sounds of fighting in the night slowly dispersed. There are night birds that follow the smell of blood, hovering in the night sky, and scream miserably.
"My boss, the killing is over."
Sanfu saw this scene for the first time. He held the whistle stick tightly in his hand, and the sweat on his forehead slipped down to his cheeks from time to time.
"Sanfu, take a breath."
Sanfu nodded, listened to Xu Mu's meaning, and took two or three deep breaths.
Xu Mu turned his head and looked ahead silently.
Those heroes who had killed a wave of people were quickly cleaning up the mess before the officials arrived.
"Dong, my boss, a knight is coming towards us!"
Nervously, Sanfu hurriedly picked up the whistle stick. Although there are rumors among the people that Xiaer does not kill poor people, but after all, he is carrying a sword and it is stained with blood. Who is not afraid of it?
"Sanfu, hold on."
Xu Mu frowned. Even though he was trying to persuade Sanfu, he couldn't help but place one of his hands on the hilt of the sword.
Tap tap tap.
In the night, two or three figures holding swords approached the carriage in a hurry.
The person in charge was a young man with a fair face, holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, and walked carefully to the carriage.
Si Hu bulged his eyes, holding the chopping knife, waiting for Xu Mu's move. Sanfu was sweating profusely, and for a moment, he simply lowered his head.
"Where are the people and horses coming from?"
"I don't know, he doesn't look like an official."
Two or three heroes came close to each other and stared at Si Hu and San Fu for a few times. In the end, their eyes were fixed on Xu Mu.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to help the world and save the people, and we will not kill the poor people."
Xu Mu nodded silently. He originally wanted to give some money to go out, but he was worried that the heroes would not be affected by this trick. If you really offend the black and white people in the inner city, you might as well move to the mountains and work as a farmer.
"Did you go to the dental shop?"
"Here we go, buy a horse." Xu Mu's expression remained unchanged.
It's such a dark night, and you turn back from the road north of Weicheng. If you say you didn't go to Yaxing, no one will believe it.
"Where's the horse?"
"Send it back to the village first."
"Are you a wealthy person? Are there any officials in your family? Are you a family member of an official?"
"A white man with nothing to rely on. Just a businessman asking for his life."
The Xia'er who asked the question frowned, with a slight anger on his face.
Xu Mu could actually understand that it was not easy for these heroes who were betrayed by traitors before, and many of them were surrounded and killed.
"Shout to me. The mountains and rivers are shrouded in mist and rain—"
"The mountains and rivers are shrouded in mist and rain, and in ten years the dynasty will be cut down with one sword."
"Kill all the dog officials." Xu Mu added at the end.
Two or three heroes showed rare smiles and even comforted Xu Mu with a few words.
"Let's go. It's dark and the roads are slippery. The carriage should go slower. Don't fall."
Xu Mu smiled and nodded.
At this moment, I felt even more like a passerby. He is not a member of the official family, nor is he a chivalrous person. He is just a passerby, walking in a hurry in the chaotic world.
"By the way, heroes. There are a dozen people from the same village on that carriage. I came here this time to take them back."
"A fellow villager?"
"Sanfu, go get it."
Sanfu stood up with some trepidation, jumped off the carriage, and hurried forward. Not long after, more than ten villagers were brought back.
The few knights in front of the carriage didn't say much when they saw this. They waved their hands and asked Xu Mu to take the people and leave quickly.
…
"Three blessings, are you all here?" The carriage became obviously crowded, so much so that the old horse pulling the carriage slowed down by almost half.
"A few of them have been dismantled and sold and cannot be recovered." Sanfu said in a depressed tone.
Xu Mu's face became tense, and he turned around and looked at the dozen or so big men in the carriage, all of whom were holding their knees and shivering. He couldn't say anything for a moment.
With Sanfu around, I think there won't be much of a problem if I go back to Horseshoe Lake.
However, he wanted to be sure of one thing.
"Master Tie, my boss has been looking for you."
On the carriage, among the crowded crowd, a pale old man raised his head tremblingly. After listening to Sanfu's words, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Dong, my boss, I am a blacksmith, everyone calls me Iron Master."
Xu Mu smiled. After running around all night, I finally found it.
