Chapter 566: The Small Court Of The Southern Ming Dynasty
Although Shi Lang is an expert in commanding battles, and his own skills are also good, but after all, he is young and inexperienced, so he is a little confused when he comes to this kind of situation that he has never encountered before.
Lu Bu shook his head helplessly, and made a gesture towards Shi Lang, signaling him to follow him closely.
He slid a few steps forward, stuck to the cave wall, poked half of his head inside, and immediately had a clear look at the situation inside.
The hugeness of this underground space far exceeded Lu Bu's previous imagination.
The area covered by the entire island is actually only a few miles in radius, and this includes the large sandy land around it.
If you only calculate the area of the hill, it actually only occupies half of the island.
This is enough to show that the underground space has penetrated deep into the sea.
Because the space here is enough to hold two hills!
Although the upper and lower stones have traces of chiseling with knives and axes, it is obvious that this space is formed naturally.
With the help of the faint light inside, Lu Bu could even see 290. There were also a few huge cracks that had been chiseled into simple passages, leading to nowhere.
The entrance where I am is probably also one of them.
As for how many people are living in this underground space, Lu Bu really can't make a decisive estimate right now!
This underground space is not flat, but like a mine pit, descending in a circle towards the bottom. From Lu Bu's angle, you can only see the area around the third floor.
Except that on the cave walls of the first and second floors, many cavities were excavated to form separate cells, where some prisoners with unusual identities were imprisoned, and the rest were crowded. Or sit on the ground, or lie on the ground.
The faces of these prisoners or slaves are full of numbness, and their eyes are as dead ashes. Even if they are whipped by pirates from high places, they just twitch their bodies lightly, and they don't even hide!
Lu Bu frowned slightly. Judging from the eyes of these guys, he really couldn't judge whether his plan would come true.
Even, if these guys are still so numb under my instigation, I even wonder if it is necessary to save them!
What Lu doesn't want is a real public base, not a group of animals who only know how to dress and eat, and their emotions have been wiped clean!
Shi Lang noticed the strangeness in Lu Bu's eyes, and lightly tapped on the cave wall beside him, attracting Lu Bu's attention.
Lu Bu turned his head to look at Shi Lang, and found a big hole in Shi Lang's hand!
It turned out that the cave wall was sunken for some reason, and a large piece of it was filled with soil.
Shi Lang threw the sword on his back into the hole, and gestured to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu understood immediately, gave Shi Lang a thumbs up, and then threw the weapons he was carrying into the hole, and the two of them filled the hole.
Immediately afterwards, they tore a few holes in their clothes and rubbed some dirt, (aeca) to make themselves closer to the ragged prisoners inside.
Taking advantage of the pirates watching the entrance of the cave not paying attention, the two filed in and slid down the nearest small slope.
The movements of the two were extremely fast and careful enough, so the pirates next to them didn't notice it.
Only two or three guys heard a slight change, and when they looked over, they didn't notice anything, and could only look away resentfully.
As for the ragged prisoners, even if they were hit by Lu Bu and Shi Lang who had slid down, they just shook a bit, glanced at them, and didn't make any further gestures.
Lu Bu didn't bother to pay attention to these numb guys, and glanced at the swearing pirates above, and found that they didn't notice the two of them, but started to look around.
He could see that there were no shortage of scars on the bodies of the prisoners around, and several of them had knife wounds on their bodies, which showed that these guys were not always honest.
It's just that the slope that I and Shi Lang slid down was a bit steep, and with a height of one foot, ordinary people couldn't rush up it at all.
As a result, the pirates have an inherent advantage and cannot allow these guys to rebel.
Next to the circular structure on each floor is a staircase that is no more than three people wide, and these people are also walking up and down from these stairs.
And the pirates only need to guard the uppermost channel to guard the people in the entire tunnel!
"However, with only two or three hundred people and a natural barrier, six or seven thousand people can be guarded. There are some characters among the leaders of the pirates!"
After Lu Bu looked at the surrounding environment, he couldn't help sighing in a low voice.
Before Shi Lang could reply, he heard a cold snort from the side.
"It's just a little pirate. If it wasn't because of my Ming Dynasty's internal and external troubles, I dared to be brave. It would have been easily wiped out by my Daming Navy!".
