Chapter 130 Calling someone
130
There is no time left underground.
On the ground, Li Huaiqing was under great pressure.
Lou Xiao entered the collapsed mine and her life or death is unknown. As the Queen's most beloved Duke of Zhenguo, if anything happened to her, he would inevitably have to bear the wrath as her companion.
He didn't understand why Lou Xiao fell into such a situation.
What is Mo Jingchun's identity and why can he have unimpeded access to the mine?
In addition to Lou Xiao's life safety, there is another important matter──
Does the owner of the mine know about Lou Xiao’s arrival, and where is all the iron ore transported?
Li Huaiqing suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, held the pen calmly, and wrote the words on the paper stroke by stroke.
Erliu came back from the mines and the situation was not optimistic.
According to the news from the mine, underground collapse buried some villagers, and the water from the underground river was spreading upwards.
Even for those still alive in the mine, the chances of survival are getting smaller and smaller.
Villagers working in the mine dug in vain with shovels, trying to save relatives who might still be alive.
There was a lot of wailing, and they were also under strict control and unable to return to the village.
When he came back, he saw Li Huaiqing sitting upright and writing, while Ai Ying seemed to have just woken up from the fear of the dense forest, with a confused look in her eyes.
He also didn't know how Lou Xiao got into a dangerous situation.
He impulsively wanted to enter the mine to save her, but was stopped by Li Huaiqing.
Er Liu didn't care about the hierarchy at this time. He stepped into the door and asked Li Huaiqing for the emperor's order to transfer people.
Li Huaiqing just finished writing, blew on the rough letter paper, folded it into an envelope and handed it to Er Liu.
"You've come at the right time. Li Liangzhu, the general of Yunzhou, is stationed about eighty miles to the southeast. Give her the letter and she will know what to do."
Er Liu took it back and asked hesitantly, "Sir, do you want to..."
Li Huaiqing reached out his hand to wash the ink stain in the basin, and replied without raising his head, "It's just as you thought. How can we rescue her with only a few of us?"
The mine is very large. According to the information we have, some martial arts sects are involved in it.
He didn't think that Erliu and Aying alone could get things done.
Besides, he still had to write a letter to the capital city, in case there was any accident...
He only hoped that His Majesty's wrath would be borne by him alone, and not involve the Li family.
"Bring more good fighters to surround the mine and control the gang members to prevent them from leaking the information. We must find out which sects are involved in this matter without leaving a single one."
Li Huaiqing was worried that Lou Xiao would not forget her work. "If anyone from above is held responsible, just push it to me. The mine is of great importance. If the troops are mobilized, I will bear all the responsibility."
If he dares to do it, Er Liu naturally has nothing to be afraid of.
He picked up the letter and turned away. After a moment of silence, Li Huaiqing picked up the pen again and called Ai Ying.
"Go find someone for me..."
He carefully considered every word, wondering how to bring it up with Her Majesty the Queen without causing Her Majesty's wrath.
After finally finishing writing, he said to Ai Ying, "My people haven't arrived with the things yet. They must have lost their way. Go look for them around the outskirts of the village..."
Ai Ying was dissatisfied, "Such a trivial matter... Young Master came all the way from the capital, who else did he bring with him besides me?"
Li Huaiqing paused and crumpled the paper into a ball.
"My Li family has been in business for generations, and our relatives are spread all over the world. No matter where you are, you can't do without my family."
However, this time the village was too remote, and his people were also far away, so they arrived a little late with the information they had obtained.
He never thought of letting Lou Xiao take the lead in completing His Majesty's orders.
She... no matter how much His Majesty favors her, she is just a newcomer who has just come to the capital from the common people.
How could she understand the turmoil in the court?
He knew very well why His Majesty asked him to come along.
Lou Xiao needs to have merit to sit in a high position. He needs to let His Majesty see his ability so that the Li family can enter the court again.
Why not do something that has the best of both worlds?
After Ai Ying also disappeared, Li Huaiqing sat alone in the room and poured himself a cup of hot water.
Even without good tea, he could calm down slowly.
It was just like being still in Fengbo Pavilion.
-
But Lou Xiao was completely unaware of all this.
She forced Mo Jingchun to climb up until they finally saw a wide natural cave.
The wide space made her breathe more easily, and her feet were no longer stepping on soft soil or stones.
Instead, it is large pieces of hard stone, which make people feel solid just like the ground.
Lou Xiao loosened her grip on Mo Jingchun's wrist, then sat down and rested for a while.
Mo Jingchun collapsed weakly beside her, breathing heavily, like a fish just out of water, struggling to survive.
Why does his damn body have problems at this time?
He was never afraid of death, and could even face the impermanence of life with a smile.
He was ready to be washed away by the water, but Lou Xiao pulled him upwards.
Really...why save him?
Mo Jingchun lay beside her, squinting his eyes and trying his best to outline her appearance in the dark.
She seemed to be regulating her internal energy, perhaps because she had not eaten for a long time, or because she had consumed too much.
She didn’t know how long it would take to get out, so she tried her best to stay in good condition.
Thinking that she would definitely not abandon him when she escaped, Mo Jingchun somehow wanted to get closer and closer to her.
Is it better to die here with her and never be disturbed by anyone, or to let her give up on him and live?
Mo Jingchun felt his rag-like body and spoke tentatively,
"Bringing me along is a burden...why don't you just go out by yourself?"
Lou Xiao ignored him, and Mo Jingchun felt a little embarrassed.
Hearing only a slight noise, Lou Xiao turned around and seemed to be staring at him without saying a word.
Mo Jingchun blinked and looked back at her blurry figure, and asked softly,
"what happened?"
Lou Xiao's voice was calm and even, "Take the bugs off me. I hate that thing."
I don't know when Mo Jingchun put it on her. Although he found her with the help of the poisonous insect, Lou Xiao was not grateful.
At least I was connected to the poisonous insect without knowing it. The thought of it made me feel uncomfortable.
Mo Jingchun could understand that as a person with great achievements in martial arts, she would be offended by his behavior.
He hesitated, "At least...let's talk about it when it's safe."
Lou Xiao didn't sound happy, "Are you threatening me to take you out?"
If he dared to say yes, she would kill him on the spot.
Of course Mo Jingchun wasn't that stupid. He chuckled happily, "It's good to die. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have the strength anymore..."
It was true that he was seriously injured, Lou Xiao could see that.
She had lived in Yunwu Mountain since she was a child, and apart from other things, she knew a lot about the martial arts world.
But she had only had a general idea of Nanzi's poison technique and didn't have a deep understanding of it.
I only know that in the Nanzi Shiwan Mountains, not everyone knows how to use witchcraft.
Just like in the martial arts world, they are the only family in Yunwu Mountain.
