Brocade clothing

Chapter 287 A Mausoleum

The four of Chu Qing were sure that there was no one else, so they managed to loosen the ropes on their hands and feet. As soon as they removed the cloth from their eyes, Chu Qing found that this is a cellar, but it occupies a very large area, and every place is surrounded by wooden fences. It looks like a prison cell, one after the other, with a glance, you can hardly see the bottom, it can accommodate hundreds of people, Chu Qing looked at Li Tianxiao: "It seems that our previous guess was correct , They really locked up all the people they captured here as coolies."

At this time, there was no one else here except them, probably they were sent to work as coolies during the day, and the beating, scolding and crying they heard earlier should be.

Li Tianxiao's handsome face was terrifyingly black, and the other two knelt on one knee: "Master, we will definitely protect you and your wife."

Chu Qing reassured: "At least we'll be fine if we come in... As long as we can persist until Master Pan comes over, everything will be fine."

Li Tianxiao hummed, then suddenly took Chu Qing's hand and squeezed it tightly.

Chu Qing originally wanted to take back his hand, but the other party Li Tianxiao's scarlet eyes couldn't bear to take it back. The emperor is a benevolent king. Seeing this situation at this moment, I'm afraid he must feel so sad. Under the jurisdiction, it is so precarious, and you may not know what will happen in the next moment. How can this not make people feel heartbroken and sad?

After Chu Qing and the others waited for an hour, they began to tie the rope again, and began to call out, "Is anyone there? What is this place? Come on—"

At the beginning, there were no people, but after a while, a few people walked in. They were wearing strange clothes, dark blue, with a red circle in the middle, and the word "punishment" written on it, like a very The yamen servants in the yamen, but the color is different, and the words printed on them are also different.

"What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for?" Those people came in with sticks in their hands, and knocked hard on the wooden fence first. When they saw them, the corners of their mouths twitched. You fat sheep, you look pretty good, okay, since you’re here, work hard, and when the tomb is dug up, I’ll let you go, the men will work as coolies, and the women will light the fire and cook. , you are obedient and obedient, otherwise, if you are killed, you will not even be given a straw mat! I will throw you directly to the back mountain and feed the wolves and dogs!" The man probably deliberately frightened Chu Qing and the others of.

The four people pretended to be terrified, "You, who are you guys? Aren't we looking at the house? How could this be? What kind of place is this?"

"Hmph, what kind of house, once you enter here, you will have no identity at all. You are all slaves here. You, come out to me, just to help with cooking! Come out!" After finishing speaking, two people came in directly, pulling When the door is opened, Chu Qing is about to be dragged out.

Li Tianxiao's face darkened, and he couldn't hold back, being protected by the hidden guards, thinking of what Chu Qing said earlier, he could only hold back, but seeing those people pushing and pulling Chu Qing like animals, Li Tianxiao's eyes flashed There was a touch of ruthlessness, but he was very clear that the time was not yet.

Otherwise, not only will Chu Qing not be saved, but their plan will be ruined.

Seeing that they were obedient, those few people gave another warning before taking Chu Qing out.

Chu Qing looked very panic-stricken, with a veil on her face, she was wearing good clothes to play the role of the merchant's wife, and she had a graceful figure. That big prison cell, Chu Qing discovered that it was a cave. Walking all the way out, the inside was hollowed out. The further you go out, you can see the sunlight coming in. It’s just a long passage. If you want to run, you have to go through many. Levels, each level has two guards, wearing the same service.

The two guards who were walking out with Chu Qing behind them looked at each other, seeing Chu Qing's slender and graceful figure, couldn't help thinking crookedly, the two hit it off, and when they turned a corner, they suddenly covered Chu Qing His mouth pulled her to a corner.

Chu Qing's heart sank. In fact, she had thought of this possibility a long time ago, so she made her face allergic to medicine. But when she really met her, she couldn't help worrying about those wives who were also brought here. These people It's vicious and brutal.

Sure enough, those two people pulled Chu Qing, but inadvertently tore off Chu Qing's veil. Seeing that face, they backed away in fright, lost all thoughts, probably felt that they had been deceived, and suddenly A slap on Chu Qing's face: "Ugly, why didn't you say it earlier? Bad luck!"

The man shook his hands, seeing Chu Qing's timid and timid appearance, he felt relieved a little, but he looked at Chu Qing's face full of little red spots, and he didn't want to touch it at all, "Get up for me, yourself Hurry up, hurry up, I thought she was a noble lady, but she turned out to be so ugly!"

The other person was also cursing, the two of them didn't want to touch Chu Qing anymore, and urged her to move forward.

Chu Qing lowered her eyes and limped forward step by step. When she walked out, she covered it with her hand. Looking from a distance, she found that this place was in a canyon in the middle of the mountains. It was surrounded by mountains, but the open space was very wide. , it might not be easy to find such a place from the outside, but there are densely packed figures all around, the sound of crying and beating and scolding can be heard vaguely, making Chu Qing's eyes scarlet with anger, the crimes of these people are really too numerous to write down.

She took a deep breath before forcing herself to calm down. She walked forward step by step according to what they said, along the rough road, and waited until she reached a mountain depression. There was thick smoke and the aroma of food ahead. The appearance of the valley, the small exit is surrounded by a fence, but when you go inside, it suddenly becomes clear. There are rows of small sheds, and there are busy women cooking, a The next one had a yellow face and a messy bun, and the guards walking around were all wearing the same clothes. They held leather whips in their hands, and when they saw who was moving slowly, they just whipped them up.

Chu Qing was driven forward by two guards behind her. There were more than a dozen small sheds in total. She was driven to one of them and handed over to the guards there: "New here, teach me the rules."

The guard guarding the shed raised his eyes, showing a wretched look, aiming randomly at Chu Qing, which was meaningful.

The two guards who brought Chu Qing here clicked their tongues: "Don't even think about that, that face... Tsk, I might have nightmares at night."

The guard's face darkened: "Ugly?"

The two guards showed a wretched smile, "If you don't believe me, take a look?"

The guard didn't believe in evil, so he stepped forward, grabbed Chu Qing's wrist with one hand, and tore off Chu Qing's veil with the other hand, and immediately flung it away with the same expression as the two guards before. Chu Qing cursed and kicked again, "How did you get so ugly here? Isn't the boss only dealing with wealthy businessmen?"

How could this rich businessman's wife be so ugly?

"Who knows what it tastes like, it's okay, don't spoil it, so many people have died, and finally got another woman in, let her cook quickly, she is starving to death."

The guard didn't kick, "Hurry up and put on the veil, and don't take it off in the future, so it won't be disgusting."

As he said that, he called out an old woman who looked like a nun inside, "Teach me the rules, and get started in an hour, otherwise, one person will receive ten whips."

The old woman shrank her neck in fear, probably because she was afraid of being beaten, she responded quickly, and took Chu Qing to the back of the shed, where there were many vegetables, she asked Chu Qing: "Will you?"

Chu Qing put on the veil again, and replied: "Yes... Before, I also came from a bitter background."

What Chu Qing said was not lying. She followed the master to do the autopsy, and all the work was done by men. In addition, she disguised herself as a man, and her hands were covered with calluses.

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, found a stool for her, and asked her to start cooking the vegetables in the large bowls in front of her.

Chu Qing looked around while picking vegetables, and found that everyone did not dare to say a word, and their movements were very fast, but they looked blue and purple, their necks were shrunk, their backs were arched, as if they were afraid of being beaten, and they did not dare to stop at all.

Chu Qing was worried about being noticed, so she didn't dare to look any further. She lowered her head and began to pick vegetables. She just looked at the vegetables picked in her hands. They were either green vegetables or cabbage. There was no oil or water at all. They were all for the enslaved people to eat?

No wonder those who died before died suddenly.

You can't eat well and rest well, and you have to do heavy physical work. It's no wonder that your body doesn't collapse under such high pressure.

Chu Qingrao was very angry, but she had to endure it and wait for the rescue to arrive.

Before they came, they were afraid that the other party would use the secret way, so the clothes on their bodies were smoked with special spices, so they asked Tianyi and others to guard outside the city, and when it was almost time, they brought specially trained wolf dogs , Follow all the way, even if you are far away, you are not afraid of not being found.

It's just that this place is far more dangerous than what Chu Qing thought, and it's also much more difficult to get in. There are layers of guards, no wonder no one has discovered it for so long.

Here, it is simply a magic cave, once you enter, you can't get out.

She couldn't imagine how much effort those people used to run out.

Chu Qing waited until the meal time, and these women began to be gathered together and redistributed, all of which were buckets of clear soup with little water, a bowl of cabbage soup and a steamed bun, and each meal point was guarded by two guards , those coolies came one after another, and whoever was slow would just throw a whip over.

Chu Qing has never seen such a battle since she came here, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She was assigned to the last stall. She counted silently in her heart, and waited until all were assigned. She roughly forgot Once again, there are six to seven hundred coolies here. Thinking of this, Chu Qing's heart sank. What are they going to do?What did the guard mentioned about the mausoleum mean?Is someone going to build a mausoleum within this mountain range?Who is so courageous!
