The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

Dari Mountain.

In the sky, crackling ice rain hit the ground like bullets, splashing crystal water. However, these water splashes froze into ice in an instant, tightly connected to the ground, forming a hard ice layer.

The two guards at the mine entrance quickly went into the cave to avoid the sudden icy rain. Their movements were agile and skillful, and it was obvious that they were accustomed to this kind of bad weather.

"Oh my, this damn weather is really unbearable. I can't even tell the difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter here."

One of the guards complained as he brushed off the ice on his body. His face was full of fatigue and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

Another guard echoed, "That's right. We can only eat some hard lumps every day. Even a sip of hot soup has become a luxury. I really envy those brothers who were sent to the city to kidnap people. They are much happier than us who guard the mountain."

His tone was full of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Just then, there was a sudden noise in the cave.

"There's a landslide, there's a landslide, everyone run!" a terrified voice shouted.

"Someone is going to die, help him!" another voice shouted anxiously.

"Stop! You are wearing so little! You will definitely freeze to death if you go out!" Someone tried to stop the miners from escaping.

"That's better than being crushed to death. Run! Run quickly!" More people joined the fleeing team. They held pickaxes tightly in their hands and ran towards the cave entrance.

"What, what's going on?" Before the man could react, he was knocked down by someone coming towards him.

The freezing rain pelted people's faces mercilessly, freezing their souls. Those who ventured out were all baptized by the icy rain.

The deep part of the mine is filled with a stuffy atmosphere all year round, and the miners only wear tattered vests or thin old clothes, which can hardly resist the severe cold outside.

At this moment, the weather was freezing cold, and the frosty air quickly penetrated into their bones.

Soon, the first person who rushed out went into the cave trembling and shaking.

As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, it's so cold outside!"

However, those who tried to run back were unable to withstand the crowd in the cave, and the situation instantly became chaotic.

"Quiet! Everyone keep quiet!"

The two soldiers responsible for guarding the cave entrance finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and one of them hurriedly blew the horn.

Soon, a group of Western Liao soldiers came from all directions. These soldiers were all fully armed, wearing thick animal skins and holding sharp swords.

A series of gibberish noises came out of their mouths. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could tell from their body language that they were warning everyone not to move.

Tianxing and Tiansha, who were mixed in the crowd, frowned. They looked at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes. As they expected, the people of Xiliao and the people of the eighteen tribes of Xibeiling were colluding with each other.

The landslide just now was just a chaos planned by them, with the purpose of making people panic and helpless.

Although this landslide will not actually cause any loss of life, it will undoubtedly add insult to injury for the people who are already physically and mentally exhausted and full of fear for the future.

These people were already feeling trepidation when working here, because they knew that their fate was in the hands of others.

Some of them, like Tianxing and Tiansha, chose to come here voluntarily out of helplessness; while others were forcibly abducted, and they had been eager to escape from this hellish place from the very beginning.

However, those who were abducted soon realized that escape would not be easy.

Not only is there strict guarding and frequent patrols here, but the terrain is complex and there are many passages. The place where they rest is far away from the place where they work, and every time they go to the construction site, it is like walking into a huge maze.

In such an environment, finding a way out is harder than climbing to the sky.

Tianxing and Tiansha were secretly groaning in their hearts. They originally thought that they would find a chance to escape after entering the cave, but they didn't expect that the situation here was much more complicated than they imagined.

Now, they can only continue to lie in wait and wait for the right time to act.

At the same time, they also hope that other people trapped here can remain calm and not take risks easily to avoid bringing greater danger to themselves.

"Let's go back first." Tianxing patted Tiansha's shoulder, and the two of them walked desperately towards the mountain path.

"First, let's find out where the gold will be transported after it is dug out."

Some people saw them walking back and followed them.

"Hurry up, hide some gold while the chaos is going on. Maybe you can support yourself when you get out."

Some people have been here for a long time, so they have learned to take advantage of loopholes.

Tianxing and Tiansha naturally heard what they said and followed suit.

It turns out that there is an abandoned mine here, and many people have hidden their own gold mines here.

These gold mines are scattered and of different sizes. They cannot be used directly. They have to be refined. But they don't care about that. As long as they can take it out, it's good.

"Don't just stand there, the two of you. Find a place to hide quickly." An older man said to Tianxing and Tiansha.

"Is this really possible?" Tianxing asked in disbelief.

"Why not? Do you want to work here forever?" Another strong man replied, "If there is a chance to go out, who would go out empty-handed? You must take some away! These are all gold mines!"

"Brother, do you know where these gold mines are transported to?" Tiansha asked innocently.

"I don't know. As you can see, there are special people responsible for transporting the gold we dug out. As for where it is transported to, the guards outside are so strict. How can we know?" The man answered and left without looking back.

Tianxing and Tiansha actually found a place that belonged to them and marked it, thinking of trying to find some gold mines and hide them there next time.

On the other side, Qingfeng and Feixue, after disguising themselves, successfully infiltrated the Dager tribe among the eighteen tribes of Northwest Ridge.

The leader of this tribe is named Tanmusda, a burly man in his forties with a strong and sturdy build.

He had seven wives and many children. The entire tribe had about 1,500 to 1,600 people, making it one of the largest tribes in the area.

"It's a miracle that there is no plague in such an environment!" Qingfeng and Feixue have completely changed their appearance and attire, and look no different from the members of the Dager tribe.

"Let's go quickly, I'm about to pass out from the fumes." Feixue happened to be standing in front of a cowshed where the cattle were defecation in a concentrated area. The pungent smell was almost unbearable for him.
