Chapter 15
Fifty ordinary disciples of the Feiyu family, including Han Yi, stood silently on the martial arts training field in the outer courtyard.

Standing on the high platform in front of him was a burly middle-aged man with a tall and straight figure and a majestic face. He was wearing a blue robe fluttering in the wind. This man was Li Qing, the chief instructor of the Feiyu Family Outer Academy, and his martial arts cultivation was the No. Nine layers of peak, only one step away from stepping into the mid-heaven realm.

"Everyone, I have summoned you here today to tell you a piece of news. My Feiyu Family's mine located in the north of Liuyun City was attacked by unknown persons. The three disciples guarding the mine all died, and none of them survived."

On the high platform, Li Qing blankly glanced at all the disciples on the training ground, and said slowly.

After hearing the news from Coach Li, there was a burst of discussion from the audience.

"All dead, who is so bold, impatient to live."

"The ore vein in the north of the city is related to the interests of the entire Feiyu family. If it is lost, the family will lose a lot."

"Yes, yes, in my opinion, this must offend people."

"Offend people? Who is so bold, dare to touch the Feiyu family."

Seeing the endless discussion in the audience, Li Qing waved his arm to stop everyone's discussion.

"Today, the patriarch issued a patriarchal order, planning to recruit five ordinary disciples from among the ordinary disciples of my outer court, to go to the mine vein in the north of the city to guard for a period of one month, with a salary of 500 taels of gold. If any of you are willing to go there voluntarily, please step forward."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts froze. Obviously, this is not a good job. Since those people can kill once, they may kill them a second time.

Therefore, after the disciples present heard the news, they all looked at me and I looked at you. No one was willing to stand up voluntarily, and Han Yi was no exception.

Seeing this, Li Qing's face darkened. The reaction of the disciples in the audience made Li Qing furious. He pointed at the disciples in the audience and reprimanded loudly:

"The clan provides food for you, houses for you, and teaches you how to cultivate. Now the clan needs you to do some small things, and you are all timid, what's the point?"

Hearing Li Qing's reprimand, the audience was completely silent, and still no one dared to stand up.

"Hmph! If that's the case, then there is only a lottery to decide."

Li Qing snorted coldly, and finally decided the disciples to go to the mine veins by drawing lots. This method is also considered fair. Five out of 50 people will be selected, with a one-tenth probability. Carry your own luck.

Li Qing stretched out his hand, and a servant walked up to the high platform carrying a wooden box, placed it in front of Li Qing, and then left.

"From now on, you will go forward one by one and draw a wooden card from this wooden box. If you get a disciple with the word "loyalty" engraved on the wooden card, whoever will go to the mine vein in the north of the city to be on duty."

After finishing speaking, Li Qing stepped aside and quietly stood aside and waited.

The rules have been set, and the disciples in the audience can't shirk, so they can only bite the bullet and go forward to draw the wooden token.

The whole lottery process lasted about half an hour. After all the disciples had drawn the wooden plaques, the disciples with the wooden plaques engraved with the word "loyalty" were also selected.

On the high stage, all the disciples who were drawn were listless and weeping, while the disciples who were not drawn were secretly happy and looked at the five people on the stage with sympathetic eyes. Including Wang Teng who almost beat Han Yi to death.

Seeing that the selected disciples were feeling a little depressed, Li Qing comforted him:
"You don't have to worry. This time, the clan will arrange for a core disciple of the middle school to go with them, and investigate the cause of death of the disciple guarding the vein."

Hearing that the clan had arranged for core disciples to go together, the five disciples on the high platform breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other three major clans did not take action, and the core disciples of the clan were in command of the mine vein, the unknown person who killed the disciple guarding the mine would also have to Weigh and weigh your own strength.

After confirming the candidates for the five disciples guarding the mine, Li Qing explained to Han Yi and the other five disciples, and then dismissed them.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Han Yi with Zhu Ganglie lying on his shoulders, and the other four drawn guard disciples arrived at the gate of Feiyu Villa early to wait according to Li Qing's instructions.

After a stick of incense, Li Qing's figure appeared in everyone's sight, and behind him was the core disciple who was arranged to be on duty together this time.

Seeing Li Qing appearing, the five ordinary disciples present all looked up and looked behind Li Qing.

"I didn't expect it to be him!"

Looking at the very familiar figure in front of him, Han Yi muttered to himself.

This person was Li Yun who rescued Han Yi from the well. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the core disciple of the Fei Yu family. He had never heard him mention it when he brought Han Yi into the village.

After seeing Han Yi and the little wild boar among the five disciples guarding the mine, Li Yun was also a little surprised.

"It's only been a long time since he joined the village. Han Yi, I'm afraid he hasn't cultivated his inner strength yet! He was sent to guard the mine in the north of the city. This kid is a bit out of luck."

"Hello Senior Brother Li Yun!"

Several other ordinary disciples greeted Li Yun in unison after seeing Li Yun's figure.

"Hello, fellow apprentices!"

Li Yun nodded slightly, responded politely, then pointed at Han Yi in the crowd, turned his head and suggested to Li Qing:
"Coach Li, I remember that Han Yi has only been in the village for a month! He hasn't even developed his inner strength, so it might be a bit inappropriate to arrange him to guard the mine."

Hearing this, Li Qing explained with some embarrassment:
"Brother Li Yun, I didn't arrange this on purpose. The person on duty this time is determined by lottery. The method is very fair. If there is a sudden replacement, other disciples may feel dissatisfied."

"I see"

Li Yun nodded slightly, with a hint of understanding on his face, and then said to the other disciples:
"Junior Brothers, we are ordered by the clan to be responsible for guarding the mine veins in the north of the city. I hope you will do your best."

"I will obey the clan order!"

Han Yi and other five ordinary disciples looked serious and responded in unison.

Under the leadership of Li Yun, Han Yi and others rode on the horses that had been prepared by the servants, and galloped towards the mine veins in the north of the city.

All the way there was no words, the people buried their heads and ran for about an hour. After passing through two villages, they came to a remote valley.

On the right side of the valley stood a dozen sparse simple wooden houses, a group of ragged miners gathered together in twos and threes, basking in the sun lazily.

After seeing Li Yun and a group of Feiyuzong disciples appearing, the group of miners immediately stood up in a hurry, holding the mining tools beside them, their eyes flickering, and they looked at Li Yun and others with fear.

"Which of you is the head of the mine?"

Li Yun's face turned serious, he glanced at the more than 30 miners present, and asked sternly.

The miners present looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them dared to stand up and respond.

"This young man, the head of the mine was killed a few days ago along with the other young men who guarded the mine. Now there is no mine head here."

There was silence for a while, and in the crowd, a strong man bravely spoke cautiously.

"In this case, from now on, you are the head of the mine. What's your name?"

Hearing that the disciple of the Feiyu family in front of him asked him to be the head of the mine, the strong man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would get a job as the head of the mine just by replying, he didn't have to work in the mine, and he had money to pay , This is smoke from the ancestral grave.

"Thank you so much, my master, my slave's name is Zhao Ergou."

Zhao Ergou was excited and thanked incoherently.

"Order to go on, continue mining, don't delay the mining period, find someone to lead the way, and lead us to see the corpses of the disciples guarding the mine."

Li Yun ordered with a blank face.

After hearing Li Yun's order, Zhao Ergou took the order happily and urges the miners into the valley to continue mining, then ran over with Li Yun and other disciples of the Feiyu family Go to the mortuary.
