Chapter 412 Free Labor
Chapter 412 Free Labor
Yan Ruyu took out a little gunpowder, placed it under a tree, and lit it.
With a bang, the tree was blown apart.
The three Orions were stunned.
"Just a little bit has such power. You said that those hidden in the secret passages are used to deal with the plague. Do you believe it?"
"How could it be, how could it be like this?" One of them looked pale and murmured a few words, looking at Orion, "Didn't you say that we are doing good things?"
"Why is this happening? Is this such a damn good thing?" He grabbed Orion and said, "I believe in you so much. My uncle's family is from this village. What do you have in mind?"
Orion swallowed his saliva: "Me too... I didn't know it would be so powerful. The eldest son only said that if there is some trouble, it will naturally..."
"Chi!" A sword slashed his shoulder.
Orion screamed miserably, and the tip of Huo Changhe's sword was pressed against his throat. If he moved forward just one minute, he would die immediately.
"For the last time, tell me or don't tell me."
Orion was really scared this time: "The eldest son said that this is a revelation from the gods. Some trouble will inevitably arise. By then, the people of Yongping will definitely disobey the government. If a riot occurs, arrangements must be made as soon as possible."
"Is this your arrangement? Send all innocent people to the West?" Yan Ruyu said angrily.
Orion didn't dare to move: "God's revelation is so..."
Huo Changhe sneered: "Did the gods tell you that today is the day you die?"
A sword has no throat.
Orion's voice stopped suddenly, and his dead body fell down.
The remaining two gritted their teeth and kowtowed: "Hero, spare your life, we are willing to make up for it!"
"Yes, we are really from the village. He is a good friend of mine. He came to me half a year ago and said that it was God's revelation that there would be a disaster. The eldest son asked him to help us overcome the disaster together. We really don't know... the truth It’s so true!”
The two kowtowed repeatedly, and Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu looked at each other.
They didn't bring many people with them on this trip, and it wasn't impossible to have two people from the same village.
Yan Ruyu had no expression on her face and took out three pills: "You can survive, but you can't escape the blame. No one has made a big mistake and can be completely avoided by simply not knowing. Take this pill and see how you perform. If you follow the requirements, Do it, everything is easy to say, but if..."
Each of them took one: "If we eat, we must obey orders!"
After swallowing the medicine, the secret guard went to the forest again and picked up the unconscious one.
"Who is he?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"He is also from our village, the three of us are, and he lives not far away."
The two of them were terrified. They thought that the man was dragged to the woods and killed, but they didn't expect that he was not dead.
The person was woken up and given another pill.
Huo Changhe pointed the tip of his sword: "You explain to him, we are too lazy to talk anymore."
"Yes Yes!"
Yan Ruyu glanced at the entrance of the cave: "How many entrances are there in total?"
"Three, this one, and the village east and village north, a total of three."
Yan Ruyu nodded, this was the same as what she found in the cave, they were not lying.
"Then your first task is to block these three cave entrances. Not just the entrances, but go at least ten meters into them and block them all."
"If someone finds out, he will kill you."
"……Yes!"
"Can it be completed before dark?"
"Yes, definitely!"
Huo Changhe's sword was shining brightly and coldly, standing straight in front of his eyes. He had to be able to do it if he couldn't.
"Then work quickly. There will be other work after dark."
The three of them got up, returned home, fetched tools, got into the hole, and filled the hole with soil.
Because I was afraid of being nervous, I didn’t even feel tired.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were sitting in the woods, looking at the map.
"Huo Changxian is indeed not a good person. He can do such cruel things," Yan Ruyu couldn't help but be angry. This kind of person is actually a brother of Huo Changhe?
It really doesn’t look like the Huo family.
Yan Ruyu's thoughts moved and she asked: "My lord, have you and your mother never doubted his life experience?"
Huo Changhe was stunned: "What?"
"Huo Changxian, is it possible that he is not his father's son? Have you ever thought about it?" Yan Ruyu looked at his expression, "It seems that you haven't thought about it. Why?"
Huo Changhe thought about it carefully: "Because my father himself has never doubted it, and my mother and I... After all, we only listened to what he said, and we have always been like thorns, so..."
"So, no one wants to think about it, ask about it, or repeat it again," Yan Ruyu sighed softly.
This idea is not incomprehensible.
"The key is, if he is not his father's son, then why did the Lord of Yongchang County do this? It will not do her any good at all," Huo Changhe lowered his voice, "She wanted to marry her father, which had caused a lot of trouble in the city. Later, this happened and became The laughingstock of everyone.
She looks a bit like the former empress, her appearance is not bad, her background is not bad, and it is not a problem to marry other young talents, why would she destroy her future like this? "
"Furthermore, she also knew that marrying her father would not lead to a good life. As the world saw, after her father married her, he returned to the place where he was stationed. She also went to the fiefdom according to the order, without even seeing him. This What kind of?"
Yan Ruyu listened quietly. This was from Huo Changhe's perspective, that is, the eldest lady's perspective, and it was reasonable, so they never doubted anything.
But Yan Ruyu feels that everything still depends on evidence.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and sometimes simple things are complicated by the definition of those who look at them.
When the time comes to see Huo Changxian, find an opportunity to do an appraisal and you will know with one try.
"Yu'er?"
Yan Ruyu came back to her senses: "I am just guessing, and I think his character is not very good. Needless to say, Changxu was deceived before, but he has a good heart, and Heng'er is also a kind child.
But this Huo Changxian was able to do something where human life was at stake, and the life of a whole village was at stake. "
"I really feel that he doesn't look like the Huo family."
Huo Changhe chuckled: "Maybe he is like his mother. The Lord of Yongchang County is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"It is."
"And that Miss Hongyu," Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, "Who is she? Have you heard of her?"
Huo Changhe shook his head: "No, I don't remember that there is such a person beside Huo Changxian."
Yan Ruyu felt that this person must not be simple, and if gunpowder was related to her, she should not be underestimated.
"Send a message to mother and the others," Yan Ruyu mused, "take extra precautions and let Beibei find out about Hong Yu after he enters the city."
"Okay, I'll pass the message on a flying pigeon in a moment."
Yan Ruyu pointed at the map: "Since this eldest son wants to cause some trouble, then we will fulfill his wish, but this place must be changed."
Huo Changhe's eyes overflowed with smiles. Seeing her smiling like a little fox, his irritation and anger disappeared.
"What do Yu'er want to do? I'll make arrangements."
Yan Ruyu raised her head and looked at the three clay figures walking over from a distance.
"You don't need to bother to make arrangements, Your Majesty, the work has come."
The three of them went outside the woods. They felt exhausted after finishing their work. Their bodies were soaked with sweat and covered with soil. When mixed together, it felt like rolling in mud.
What's even worse is that I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel a little uncomfortable everywhere on my body.
They all feared it was the poison taking effect.
But after checking, I found that the symptoms were different.
After finally dragging her body out of the woods, Yan Ruyu said with a smile: "Guys, you guys are working very fast, let's go."
The three of them bravely asked, "May I ask, where are you going?"
"Go dig a tunnel."
"!!"
