Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

"No... no need..." Huo Jun replied, but his body was already shaky.

Zhao Qiaoniang said helplessly: "How can you save people in this state?"

Zhao Qiaoniang was helpless and could only support him and said, "Let's go! I'll take you there and see if I can help you."

Huo Jun sighed and said:

"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?

I...I'm afraid of getting you into trouble. Besides, with so many women like you, you probably won't be able to help much."

Zhao Qiaoniang glared at him and said, "What's wrong with being a woman? What you said is very boring. If it weren't for the fact that you are a soldier, I wouldn't care about you!"

She still has a natural respect for soldiers, who have sacrificed a lot to defend the country.

Huo Jun smiled faintly and said, "You really don't look like someone who has been married and has children."

"Can you still tell?" Zhao Qiaoniang asked when she saw him dying.

"Women are not as fragile as you think. I am raising three children by myself and am still doing well.

Sometimes some men are worse off than not having them at all! "

Huo Jun smiled faintly. Mulan looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said, "Qiaoniang, what should we do now?"

Zhao Qiaoniang said helplessly: "He is a soldier, and his people have been captured. Let's see if we can help when the time comes."

Mulan looked at him and said, "So you're a soldier!"

A group of people helped the man walk forward. Naitang kept squeaking. Zhao Qiaoniang whispered a few words to it, and Naitang waved her hand to signal them to follow it.

Zhao Qiaoniang followed Naitang and walked without stopping, and soon they came to a secluded place.

Just as they took cover in the bushes, they heard several men's voices: "Hey! I didn't expect our boss to be so powerful that he even dared to capture soldiers."

"Once we get here, no one can get out alive."

"Hahaha... didn't our boss tell them? As long as they dig up enough ore, we'll send them out."

"What are you dreaming about? Why do you think these soldiers came to investigate us?

The higher-ups already suspect they know the location of the mine. Do you know how valuable our mine is?"

The man shook his head and continued:

"If those soldiers discovered the location of this coal mine, I'm afraid we would all be arrested.

Our coal mine is neither big nor small, but it can still earn several thousand taels of silver a year. The people in charge will not give up such a good opportunity to make money."

As they continued talking, they suddenly felt their whole bodies go numb and fell down one after another.

Huo Jun was stunned when he saw them. Zhao Qiaoniang smiled at him and said, "How about it? Now you know how powerful we are, right?"

Huo Jun was stunned: "What are you using? Why do they fall down as soon as you hit them?"

Zhao Qiaoniang smiled slightly and said:

"This was made by our little carpenter. It was designed after a crossbow, but its power is much smaller than a crossbow.

We have applied anesthetic on this arrow, and they will definitely not be able to withstand it.

This medicine only lasts for a few hours, we have to hurry. Where is your brother?

Let’s change our clothes first.”

These anesthetics were made by Mrs. Bai. Last time they got a lot of datura flowers, and Mrs. Bai was afraid that they would encounter danger in the mountains, so she made some.

A group of people stripped these people of their clothes and took out the things inside their clothes. Some of them still had dry food and water.

Zhao Qiaoniang gave all these things to Huo Jun and said, "Take these with you and eat them on the road!"

Huo Jun nodded, clasped his fists towards her and said, "Miss, Dayi, I will definitely repay your kindness. You not only saved me, but also saved my brothers."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go and save people." She gave all the copper coins on these people to Huo Jun, making Naitang squeak.

Huo Jun asked in surprise: "You raised this mouse? What happened to it?"

Zhao Qiaoniang touched her nose and said, "It's nothing, it just got a little excited when it saw the copper coins."

How could Naitang be excited about seeing copper coins?

It wanted to take all the copper coins back to Lin Wanwan, but Zhao Qiaoniang quickly comforted it, saying, "I'll give you all the silver later."

Only then did Naitang become obedient and rushed out with a group of brothers. The road it took with Zhao Qiaoniang was very remote and they didn't meet anyone along the way.

Led by Naitang, Huo Jun and his group moved through the place carefully.

Naitang led them around and around, avoiding one secret sentry after another.

Huo Jun looked at Natang with surprise in his eyes and couldn't help but admire: "This mouse is really amazing."

Huo Jun took some painkillers and looked better.

As they followed Naitang deeper into the mine, they heard the manager's voice from the front: "How long have they been out on patrol? Why haven't they returned yet?"

A voice responded nonchalantly, "He's probably just lazing around somewhere!"

The steward lowered his voice and warned:

"You should all be more vigilant recently, as those soldiers are from unknown sources.

I’m afraid their accomplices will come looking for us.”

Someone nearby asked nervously, "What if they really come?"

The steward laughed out loud:

"There are thousands of people in our mine, so why would we be afraid of a few soldiers?

We'll take down as many as come, we're just short of manpower!"

The steward continued:

“We dug up a lot of coal this time, and judging by the weather, it’s bound to be cold this year.

By then, the price of coal will surely double, so we have to dig harder."

"Okay, got it..." After the group of men responded, they quickly dispersed.

The manager smiled and stroked his beard and said, "I'm going to make a fortune this time..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt numbness in his body and passed out.

It looked like this room belonged to the one in charge, so Zhao Qiaoniang dragged him directly into the room.

As soon as I stepped into the manager's house, a warm feeling hit me in the face, which seemed like two different worlds compared to the cold mining area outside.

In the middle of the room, the finest silver frost charcoal was burning quietly in the brazier. The charcoal fire was burning fiercely, and it made slight crackling sounds from time to time. The red flames licked the charcoal blocks, and the heat emitted made the whole room warm as spring.

The furnishings in the room were luxurious. A carved sandalwood table sat in the center, its surface gleaming with light, and upon it lay exquisite tea sets, each painted with delicate and vivid colors.

Next to the table are several chairs made of the same material, with high backs carved with various auspicious patterns, including soaring dragons and phoenixes, and blooming peonies. Every detail is lifelike.

Against the wall is a huge sandalwood wardrobe with doors inlaid with round pearls, which glow softly in the candlelight.

Huo Jun sneered and said:

"He's just a mine manager, but he's so rich. It really opens my eyes.

"These bandits, do they know how many soldiers and civilians are starving? They are worse than animals."
