Chapter 122 Landslide
"It's almost time to rest, let's go."
Jiang Hao put the cork in the kettle, put it on his waist, stood up, patted the corners of his clothes, and walked in front.
Xu Xing quickly stood up and followed.
There is still some distance to the mine, and the road becomes more difficult to travel as we go further in.
Not to mention the ordinary people who work as miners, even Xu Xing, who has been working in the military camp for many years, would find it difficult to travel through the mountains.
On the other hand, although Jiang Hao's clothes were torn by branches and bushes in many places, she was in a very good mental state, her face was not red, and she was not out of breath, as if she was walking on flat ground. It is hard to imagine how she, a daughter of an official who never left her house, could do this.
Xu Xing followed behind her, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
At noon, after a long journey, the two finally arrived near the mine.
There are six groups of patrolmen in the mine, three groups form a shift, alternating between day and night in a cycle.
One shift is on duty, and the other shift is on rest.
When on duty, the three groups took turns patrolling, which to a large extent avoided the gaps exposed by two groups patrolling and allowed others to take advantage of them.
"It's easy to be discovered if we go in now, so it's better to gather our strength and act after dark."
Jiang Hao had no objection to Xu Xing's suggestion. He immediately found a big tree with dense branches, climbed up easily, and then took a nap leaning against the branch.
The movements are skillful and breathtaking.
Xu Xing blinked, then found a similar big tree nearby and climbed up the tree to rest.
The mines rely entirely on manual labor, from mining, transportation, refining, delivery... the entire process requires a large amount of human and animal power to work together to complete.
Jiang Hao pressed the branch slightly with his fingers and looked out. After taking a look at the situation in the mine, he lay back on the branch and took a rest.
To get to the small building where Lu Zhan lived, you had to first pass through the mine, then through the shacks where the workers rested and the tents of other court managers and patrol personnel, and then walk about 200 meters forward and you would arrive.
"boom"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the mine, and Xu Xing and Jiang Hao opened their eyes at the same time.
The two men immediately stood up and looked out from the treetops, only to see that the mine, which had been in perfect order not long ago, had suddenly become chaotic and noisy.
The distance was quite far and the noise was loud, so Xu Xing couldn't hear clearly what happened, but Jiang Hao heard fragments of what happened.
The patrolling soldiers ran towards the mine with spears in their hands, and the periphery became safe for Jiang Hao and the others.
"The gunpowder exploded and the mine collapsed."
Jiang Hao said to Xu Xing who was in the tree next door.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xing looked at her in slight surprise, but then he felt it was natural.
If she wasn't so amazing, would she still be Jiang?
"The mine collapsed, and I don't know how many miners are underneath."
According to current mining technology, if a landslide occurs, the people buried underneath will be in great danger.
"I'm afraid it won't be less."
Jiang Hao didn't expect this to happen. He stared in the direction of the mine and replied indifferently.
“With something this big happening, Lu Zhan will be here soon.”
As the money officer of the entire mine, he is the boss here. The collapse of the silver mine concerns human lives and mining volume. As long as he has not interfered with public affairs for personal reasons, he will definitely show up.
The noise from the mine was getting louder and louder, and for some reason the miners and soldiers started fighting, and the situation became chaotic and out of control.
"Stop! Everyone stop!"
"If you don't stop, I'll kill you without mercy! I'll kill you without mercy!"
With a loud roar, both sides stopped fighting. The soldiers instantly gained the upper hand and pinned all the miners who had just resisted to the ground.
"Lord Lu is here——"
