The fat man rang the gong and told all those who could get up to gather in the open space.

Looking at the black crowd, everyone was taken aback for a moment. These people included men and women, old and young. Looking at them, none of them had good skin and flesh. The only difference was the number of injuries.

Those who can stand still and look better must have been arrested not long ago.

Although the Eastern Qi Dynasty is not in chaos now, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, the number of refugees is also increasing rapidly.

"You don't need to be afraid." He Lan Linzhang ordered the overseer's body to be thrown out, and said loudly: "The person who watched you and whipped you is dead."

Although he was wearing coarse clothes, his eyes were warm and quiet like the moonlight, and the nobleness exuded in his bones could not be concealed even by his beard.

Some miners supported each other, and some had sackclothed faces, but no matter what, their eyes were all on Helan Linzhang at this time, and they would think: What if?What if I can go out?
Before being caught in this hell, some of them went hunting in the mountains, some went out to visit relatives, and some left home to find small jobs to earn some money to subsidize their families... It was an accident that left them with nothing, but they still had a life. Even if they die...they will also die in their hometown.

"Don't worry, we are the subordinates of Prince Helan Linzhang of Mobei. This trip is to escort the princess back to the convoy to Mobei." Helan Linzhang said, "While passing here, I accidentally discovered a private mine in the middle of the mountain."

He glanced at the ore around him and there were two rows of blast furnaces with no end in sight, and he knew that there was an astonishing amount of iron ore here, "There are so many ores and blast furnaces, there can't be only ten supervisors...you have no way of knowing the news outside I'm going to make a long story short. Now Dongqi doesn't know whether it has offended the Dao of Heaven or what. There are many disasters, earthquakes, floods, locust plagues, and epidemics... Our entrance to the mountainside is in Weixian County, which is not far from Yujiang River. Now we are guarding you All the people went to entertain the uninvited guests from Yujiang, which gave us an opportunity. It's just...we don't know when they will return."

"If you want to seize the opportunity to survive, you have to work hard to get up. Are all your people here? Is anyone seriously injured and did not come in time after hearing the sound of the gong? Are you familiar with this place, do you know the mountainside? The entrance? From which direction did the soldiers and horses guarding you leave, and does anyone know..."

"I know!" A young man who was as thin as a bamboo pole stood up regardless of the pull of the people behind him, and said loudly again: "I know!"

As he spoke, he waved his arms, and the veins on his neck were bulging with excitement, "Even if I die, I will die outside! Do you want to be trapped here forever? Let the parents, mothers-in-law and children at home think that we are not filial I don’t care about my family, I ran away once I went out, no one was alive, no dead body was seen! I’m Niu Sheng from Niutouzhuang in Li County, I know where they came from, I almost ran away last time! It’s him!”

Niu Sheng ran to the overseer's pile of corpses, pulled out a corpse and smashed it with his fist, "It was him, he was the one who caught me back and beat my brother Lin Zi to death! If it wasn't for my fate, I would Can’t wait for today. Hahaha, look, I’ll tell you that your grandfather will live longer than you if I kill you sooner or later! I know the way, and I’m willing to take you there.”

He knew that he was fighting for his last breath, and he might be killed when a stone fell on his head. "Don't worry, gentlemen, I don't blame you for my Niu Sheng's death. I don't know which way the nobleman will go." Going to Mobei, if the nobles don’t go through Li County, it’s fine, just find a place to bury me casually, and ask someone to bring a message to my family, let them know that I’m not going back, or I won’t go back.”

"Me! I also know where the exit is?"

"I know where they hide their weapons..."

"Gentlemen, I know where they raise horses." Seeing all the nobles looking over, old Chen touched his white and sparse hair bun, and smiled with his gaping mouth, "Don't look at me as old, but I Being able to live here to this day means that I am very lucky! God always favors lucky people, hehehe! I don’t know the time, I don’t know the day and night here, but I know that they are one departed before the hour."

Old Chen rubbed his ears, "My ears are good! Even if they wrap the horse's hooves in layers of cotton cloth, I can still hear them."

"They have ridden the horses away, what do you say?"

"Roll! They ride tall horses, and they can also ride small ponies? You forgot? When they captured people back a few days ago, they brought a small pony with them? This thing is not worth a lot of money, it is worth more than the old cow of Li Chang's family. It's worth it!" Old Chen's eyes lit up, they were old, weak, sick, and disabled, and if they wanted someone to give them a way out, they always had to offer something in exchange.

Luo Xiyao's eyes are cold and her voice is quiet. Among them, she is the most expensively dressed. There is no way, no matter whether it is a princess, or the wife of a big merchant, she must have some style, even if she is running away, she can't always Paint your face black and scratch your hair, right?Her presence at this time is the most comforting, especially since Helan Linzhang has already called out her identity—— Princess Mobei. Do what you do well.

"I am Luo Xiyao, the Seventh Princess of Mobei, and also the ninth girl from the Luo Mansion in Pingcheng, East Qi. I went to Mobei to get married by order." As she spoke, she took out a piece of suet white jade from her bosom, what was it? People who don't understand also know that this thing can only be owned by people with status, "Don't worry, we don't need you to risk your life to fight with your life, and we don't need you to hand over money to tell any secrets."

Luo Xiyao casually identified Helan Linzhang's identity, "This is Commander Jia, he just asked because you were seriously injured and couldn't travel far. It's okay for us to take a few of you with us, how about Can I take you all away?"

Not waiting for them to cry in a hurry, Luo Xiyao said again: "So you have to save yourself. We entered from the green hills of Wei County, walked down the stone steps, and walked through the rocky path. I think we are no longer in Wei County. Qingshan in Weixian County belongs to the Jinyun Mountains, which is half the size of Eastern Qi. There is absolutely no way for soldiers and horses to leave our way. It can be seen that there are more than one places to enter and exit here. If you know, I can ask people around me to block the entrance and exit , to buy you some time."

"Although I am already the princess of Mobei, I was born in Dongqi. How can I watch you far away from your homeland and die here without a sound? Just don't know. If you see it, you can't stand by. And... no matter you No matter what your status is, no matter where you are, you have the right to survive. For you, we came too late, but just like the boy named Niu Sheng said just now, even if you climb, you have to climb Go to your loved ones."

Luo Xiyao sighed: "Since that's the case, don't leave anyone behind. Even if someone is gone, even a token, a handful of ashes, can comfort their families, right?"
