Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Zhu Changming, the young miner who had always been determined and thought he was different from others, couldn't help but kneel down at this moment.

Such an absolutely powerful force is even more terrifying than the Jiang family.

Even though the Jiang family is a giant with great connections, they are still human and can be careless sometimes.

As long as they escape from the mine and Jiujiang Prefecture, the Jiang family will be out of reach.

But the existence before them was no different from gods or demons, and they had no possibility of struggling at all.

He could only wait for fate to decide.

However, he never expected that this mysterious existence who killed people without hesitation would be so gentle towards them:

"Miners, get up."

The miners still didn't dare to stand up.

The voice softened a bit:

"Don't be afraid, everyone. I traveled here and heard that someone in this mountain was kidnapping innocent people to be slaves in the mines, so I came to rescue them. Now the guards in the mines have all been subdued by me, and no one dares to persecute you anymore. Remove the shackles from your feet, and you can go home!"

After saying that, she raised her hand and a bunch of keys floated from her hand into the mine.

These words echoed in the ears of every miner in the huge mine.

Looking at the coveted key, everyone, including Zhu Changming, was surprised and delighted.

They never expected that this person had come specially to rescue them.

So, this is not a female devil who kills people without hesitation, but a goddess who saves people from suffering!

"Thank you, God, for saving my life!"

Everyone kowtowed to express their gratitude, then stood up, respectfully took the keys, and untied the chains on their feet.

Saving these miners was not part of Chen Qingzhu's plan. Before coming to Lushan, she had never imagined that the mine here would be in such a bad condition.

Now that I know it, it is impossible for me to just stand by and watch.

Although rescuing them would cause more trouble, it might also help to disintegrate the rebel army in Gan Province four years later.

The rebel army dragged countless civilians into the war and also killed many corrupt officials and powerful gentry who oppressed the people. It is difficult to judge whether this was a merit or a fault.

It is hard to say whether she can gain merit or not, but as Nandu is her base camp, there will be one less rebel army causing trouble in the southern region in the future, so she still gains in this respect.

After rescuing the man, she was originally preparing to go and look for the jade mine, but she didn't expect that someone would have the courage to stop her.

"God, please stay!"

A young miner stood out from the crowd. It was Zhu Changming.

He knelt on the ground, his face full of admiration, and said loudly:

"God! I am Zhu Changming, a homeless man. May I follow you and be your slave without any complaints?"

At first, he thought that the person in front of him was here to compete with the Jiang family for the mineral vein, and he never expected that she came here specifically to save them.

Once his guard was removed, he was left with nothing but admiration and respect for this mysterious figure.

It is rare to find someone so powerful and kind-hearted.

If he could be accepted by such a person, even as a slave, it would be a great fortune for a common man like him.

Chen Qingzhu still wanted to collect the ore, and originally planned to send these miners away directly, but when she heard this name, she stopped.

After building the foundation and gaining spiritual consciousness in the previous life, the memory will be very different from that of ordinary people, and many things that were once trivial will become very clear.

Therefore, she now remembers very clearly that Zhu Changming is the name of the leader of the uprising army in Gan Province.

She couldn't help but look back at the young miner kneeling below.

He is dressed in rags and is skinny, but you can see that he is very tall. If he is well fed and well cared for for a period of time, his basic fighting ability will probably be good.

More importantly, this man had a clear and determined gaze, and was courageous enough to call her directly and ask her to follow him. It was obvious at first glance that he was completely different from the other miners.

This should not be a person with the same name, but the rebel leader himself.

Do you want to accept him?

Chen Qingzhu's mind only flashed for a moment before he made a decision.

Who would complain about having too many such smart and capable people who are capable of leading an entire province's rebel army?

By joining her command, the possibility of an uprising in Gan Province would be reduced, and the peace in the rear of Nando would be more secure.

What's more, although Zhu Changming's rebel army in his previous life was eventually suppressed by the imperial court, it does not mean that she cannot train Zhu Changming into a good general.

But, does he really want to serve?

"Looking at your face, you don't look like a person without relatives or friends, why do you say you are homeless?"

In his previous life, after Zhu Changming’s righteous army was suppressed, his parents and three clans were all beheaded.

Zhu Changming answered loudly:

"I dare not deceive the gods. I am a native of Jiujiang Prefecture. I was abducted by the people of the Jiang family mine when I came to the city to work. I had all the documents and travel permits with me at the time. The head of the mine said that our identities have been recorded by the Jiang family. If I go home, the Jiang family will retaliate and implicate my parents and brothers."

"I have been abducted for three years. I am afraid my parents and brothers all think I am dead. It is better not to go back and trouble them. I hope the gods will take me in!"

After hearing these words, the expressions of many miners who were originally preparing to go home happily became gloomy.

They were so happy after being rescued that they forgot there was no way they could go home.

"God, there are many people in the Jiang family who are officials in the court. They are the same as the prefects and county magistrates. If we, the miners recorded by the Jiang family, go home, we will definitely be caught again... I, Guan Daliang, also beg the gods to take me in. I have no complaints about being a slave!"

Another miner knelt down and begged.

The others came to their senses after hearing this and knelt down:

"Please let the gods take me in!"

"I am willing to be a servant of the gods!"

The deity was so powerful and kind that even being taken as a slave by her was better than wandering around outside, and being captured and exploited at any time.

Only then did Chen Qingzhu understand why these miners were the first to revolt in their previous life.

It was really the officials and powerful people in Jiujiang Prefecture who pushed people to the extreme and left them no way to survive.

In that case, she might as well take these people in as well.

Miners are naturally more disciplined than ordinary people and are the best candidate for soldiers.

Picking up four or five hundred people for free was actually an unexpected surprise on this trip to Mount Lushan.

Regardless of whether they are following him sincerely or pretending to do so, Chen Qingzhu intends to accept those who follow him voluntarily.

Thinking of this, she said aloud:

"I have always been kind to my followers. When the time comes, I will eradicate the Jiang family that has left you homeless, so that you can rest assured and reunite with your family."

Hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

However, immediately afterwards, the immortal who was looking down at them said coldly:

"But let me be frank with you. Anyone who follows me must be loyal and obey my orders. Otherwise, you have seen what I can do today."

"I'll give you another stick of incense to think about it. Those who can do it can stay, and those who can't can leave on their own."

Looking at the blood flowing from the mine pit and listening to the cold tone, everyone couldn't help but feel fear.

However, Zhu Changming spoke first without hesitation:

"Everyone, the gods were just passing by, but they were willing to help the weak like us. They had the ability to continue to enslave us, but they gave us the freedom to choose. If such a kind person is not worth following, then no one in this world is worth following!"

"As for being loyal and following orders, that is what followers should be expected to do. If you can't do that, you don't deserve to be with the gods!"

"I, Zhu Changming, was saved by a god. Even if I lose my life, it is a repayment for the life-saving grace. This is much better than being caught, squeezed and tortured to death by the Jiang family!"

After saying this, he bowed to Chen Qingzhu again, "God, I wish Changming is willing to follow you until death!"

Zhu Changming has been working with the miners day and night for three years, and they share the same suffering, so these people are more likely to listen to his words.

What's more, his words were so well-reasoned, powerful, and inspiring that they made people's blood boil.

After hearing this, many people's expressions became determined.

"We are willing to follow the gods till death!"

Seeing this, Chen Qingzhu couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Zhu Changming was very aware of the current situation. As soon as he joined her team, he began to work hard to recruit people for her.

As expected of a rebel leader, his ability to incite people is quite good.

"In that case, Zhu Changming, please register those who are willing to follow me."

"Yes!"

Chen Qingzhu raised his hand slightly and helped Zhu Changming up from the mine.

Ignoring his shocked expression, she simply waved her hand, and some vines under the mine flew into her hands with a whoosh.

She just threw the vines towards the guards above, and the vines seemed to have their own consciousness and automatically tied up the guards tightly.

Moreover, although there were only a few vines, they seemed to be endless and were used to tie up more than a dozen people. It was truly a magical method that I could never have imagined in my previous life!

Zhu Changming was extremely excited. Such a mysterious and powerful existence was the master he followed!

The rest of the miners were also stunned.

After coming to their senses, except for the more than 30 miners from outside Jiujiang Prefecture, the rest chose to follow Chen Qingzhu.

*

By the time Zhu Changming organized a group of literate miners from the crowd and registered everyone, Chen Qingzhu was also ready.

"God, there are a total of 459 people willing to follow you. Here is the list." Zhu Changming said respectfully.

Chen Qingzhu flipped through it briefly and put it aside.

Then he took out a written letter and a bag of gold and silver, handed them to Zhu Changming, and said:

"After a short rest, you will immediately lead everyone to the dock at the foot of the mountain. I will find a boat to take you to Nandu."

One side of Lushan Mountain is connected to the river, and you can reach Nandu Wharf directly by water.

As for where the ship came from.

Chen Qingzhu believed that the stone materials mined by the Jiang family other than jade also needed to be shipped out. When they arrived at the small dock on the other side of the mountain, there was naturally a cargo ship of the Jiang family.

It is not difficult to capture these cargo ships.

Even without loading cargo, it is more than enough to accommodate these four or five hundred people.

"But...but what if there are checkpoints along the way..."

Even though Zhu Changming was just a villager, he had been doing odd jobs outside during the slack season for two years, so he still knew some basic common sense about traveling outside.

Nandu is thousands of miles away from Jiujiang Prefecture, and there must be checkpoints set up by the navy along the way.

Chen Qingzhu had naturally thought about this a long time ago and took out a token and gave it to him.

"This is the token from the Duke Dingguo's mansion of the Caojiang Admiral. With it, you can travel freely on the river."

This was originally prepared by Chen Qingzhu for emergency use on the return journey, and now it can be used by Zhu Changming and his hundreds of people.

With this token, their ships can sail freely to Nando after leaving Jiujiang Prefecture.

Zhu Changming took the token and was very excited. He really followed the right person.

The power behind the gods is so powerful!

After explaining, Chen Qingzhu pointed at the letter again:

"Once you arrive in Nandu, go to the east of the city and find a wealthy businessman named Qin Dafu. Give him this letter and he will take care of you."

Military power is a matter of great importance, so she naturally would not put all her chips on the Zheng family.

The team of miners led by Zhu Changming is a good start.
