The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

Qi Chuan immediately turned over and sat up, "Okay, I will go and report to the prince. Mr. Zhuo is willing to be loyal. The prince will definitely be happy."

Before Zhuo Fang could stop him, he was forced to pledge allegiance to the King of Qi.

In order to avoid being assassinated on the road, Zhao Qiyan asked some guards to continue walking on the official road to attract attention.

He took Yun Shang, Zhuo Fang, Qi Chuan and several other personal guards, changed cars and took another small road to Tongshan.

Tongshan County.

Zhao Qiyan and his companions disguised themselves as ordinary people and checked into an inn.

The waiter came to serve the food. Seeing that they were well-dressed, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Are you all time travelers?"

Zhao Qiyan did not deny it, "Can you see that?"

The waiter patted his chest and said, "There have been a lot of time travelers coming to Tongshan recently. I can tell you're from outside and your aura is very unique, so you must be time travelers."

"Are you all here to seek work at Tongshan Iron Mine?"

Zhao Qiyan took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table. He calmly asked, "Do you have a channel?"

The waiter quickly put the silver away and whispered, "I know their manager who is in charge of recruiting people. You guys can stay in the store. I will take you to see the manager tomorrow."

Zhao Qiyan nodded, and they continued to eat.

After returning to the room, Qi Chuan finally spoke, "Your Majesty, can that waiter really take us to see the manager of the iron mine?"

Zhao Qiyan shook his head. "Maybe, but it shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, let's get in first and then find a way."

Zhuo Fang has a very quiet temperament most of the time. When he is not talking and drinking tea, he looks like a scholar.

He drank tea and seemed to be enjoying his ancient life very much. "If you want to go, you can go. I won't go."

"They recognized me, and once I went in, I couldn't get out."

Zhao Qiyan nodded and told Qi Chuan to leave a few guards for him. Then he looked at Yun Shang and said, "You should stay at the inn too. The people working in the mines are all men. It's not convenient for a woman like you to go in."

Yun Shang was originally thinking about what she could do after going in together, but Zhao Qiyan told her that she didn't need to go.

She had no choice but to nod and stay in the inn obediently.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qiyan and Qi Chuan followed the waiter to meet the manager. As soon as they left, Yun Shang became bored.

There wasn't much entertainment in Tongshan County, just a few small stalls scattered around. It seemed like it wasn't the big market yet.

She looked out the window for a while before turning back to look at Zhuo Fang. "Mr. Zhuo, do you really not want to go and see what that iron mine is all about?"

Zhuo Fang shook his head decisively, "If you don't want to watch, what does it have to do with me?"

"Even if they blew this place up, it has nothing to do with me."

I really want to scold him to wake him up, but I also feel that what he is saying is right. What should I do?

"Princess, are you really not going to go out and take a look? Aren't you worried that Prince Qi and the others won't pass the interview?"

Yun Shang was helpless. "How can I help? I know nothing about iron ore."

Zhuo Fang nodded. "Yeah, living a life of idleness and waiting to die. It seems we are quite similar."

It was almost dark, but Zhao Qiyan and Qi Chuan still hadn't returned. Yun Shang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She went back to her room, changed into some light clothes, and went out.

The guards at the door stopped her and said, "Princess, the prince asked us to protect you. It's getting dark now. You'd better not go out. It's too dangerous."

Yun Shang pointed at the two of them and said, "You two, follow me and go see the steward. It won't take so long without any news. We have to go to Prince Zhao."

Zhuo Fang leaned against the door, "Do you really care about the life or death of the King of Qi?"

Yun Shang looked up at him and said, "In order for Yuguo to be stable, the King of Qi must be alive. If the King of Qi dies, we will not survive. You have joined them before, so you should know better than me."

Zhuo Fang sighed, "Forget it. Even if they catch me, they can't do anything to me. The worst that can happen is that I can help them mine."

"Let's go. I'll go with you to rescue King Qi."

Neither of them said it explicitly, but they understood it tacitly.

At the same time, in a residential building not far from Tongshan Iron Mine, a wooden door was locked and seven or eight young men were locked inside, including Zhao Qiyan and Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan looked around the room, approached Zhao Qiyan, and whispered, "Your Highness, there is a window at the back of this room. There are only two guards. I can lead you out."

Zhao Qiyan sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed. "Let's not go out yet, let's see what they're arresting us for."

Qi Chuan nodded, then pulled the waiter who brought them over and grabbed his collar, "Didn't you bring us here to see the manager? Why were we arrested?"

The waiter waved his hands and shook his head, "I don't know either. There was no problem before. I don't know what happened today. I was locked up as soon as I arrived."

"Brother, don't worry. Let's wait. Someone will come eventually, right? You can't lock us up just to starve us to death, right?"

As he was speaking, the sound of a lock being unlocked was heard outside, and a young man walked in leisurely, followed by several muscular thugs.

It seems that this is indeed the manager of the mine.

When the young man arrived, he smiled and apologized, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"We just received some news that a mysterious person has sneaked into the mine, so we have to lock everyone up."

"Now, I ask questions, you answer them. Those who can answer can stay and be assigned tasks. Those who can't answer will have to go to another place to have a proper chat."

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem? Ask quickly."

The young man was unhurried, "The earth shakes the high hills, and the streams and mountains are as beautiful as ever."

Those people were unable to answer and were hesitant. However, they did not want to be caught, so one of them pleaded, "Sir, we are just pretending to be time travelers and want to find a job. We are really not some mysterious people. Please have mercy on us and let us go."

"That's right, sir. Even if we're not time travelers, at least we're strong laborers. Mining is fine, too. We just want to find a job."

Unable to answer, everyone started to plead for mercy. The young man shook his head, "Really? Everyone is pretending to be a time traveler again. It's a waste of my time."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, turned around and walked out, "It's up to you to do what you want with these people. There are no time travelers here."

After he finished speaking, the strong men squeezed in from the door, and Qi Chuan unconsciously clenched the dagger hidden on his waist.

Suddenly, Zhao Qiyan called out to the young man, "Please change the question. I don't remember the answer to this one. Could you try a simpler one? What if I know the answer?"

"Not everyone can answer what you're talking about."

The man's eyes lit up, "Oh?"

"Okay, I'll ask a simpler one."
