Chapter 417 Flame

"Are you crazy! Open the door quickly!" Uncle Deng shouted from behind.

Huo Ying struggled to get up and limped towards the second floor.

"Boy from the Huo family, I think you are desperate for your life!"

"Sir, he broke the key crookedly!"

"Quickly find a stick to pry open the door——"

The voice was gradually left behind by him. At this time, Huo Ying had only one goal, which was to go to the second floor and sound the alarm there.

This warehouse is equipped with alarm facilities.

Although its original intention is only to warn of riots or mining accidents within the mine, and the sound cannot travel too far, if it is sounded late at night, it will definitely attract the attention of the security team and even the Jinxia garrison.

Huo Ying thought clearly that the other party could bribe the outpost guards and Uncle Deng, and he might also have tampered with the security team. It was just easy to bribe one person, but it was almost impossible to bribe everyone without leaking the information. This is why they only had contact with Uncle Deng in the manager's camp, but he and Zheng Ming had no idea.

Based on these reasons, it is extremely risky to attract the attention of the security team by shouting for help on the road, but it is much more reliable to replace it with a copper bell. As long as not all the twenty or thirty people stationed in the mine are bribed, someone will always pay attention. What's going on here.

Huo Ying felt that his thoughts had never turned so fast.

It was as if all the energy was used to think of countermeasures.

It's really ridiculous. If you can be so devoted when studying, why worry about not being able to get a Jinshi?

He ran all the way up the stone stairs to the second floor, slammed his shoulder open the wooden door of the room where the clock hung, grabbed the rope in his memory, and pulled hard——

The rope slid down quietly.

Huo Ying was stunned.

Where's the clock?

He raised his head, and the top of his head was pitch black... and he couldn't see anything. However, the rope has fallen to the ground, which can only mean one thing - someone came here in advance and cut the rope.

These plans of his... all turned into shattered bubbles.

Suddenly, a violent dizziness came to his mind, making Huo Ying almost fall to the ground. He shook twice and reached out to hold the wall, only to realize that he was panting heavily and felt like he couldn't breathe.

what happened.

It is said that scholars are weak in literature, but this is true for Zhou Dacai and Chen Gongzi. When he was at home, he had to do some physical work every day, and when he arrived at the Baisha Mine, he didn't go out with the craftsmen of the Machine Building Bureau. Wen Ruo had nothing to do with him... that's right.

He took away the palm holding his waist, and his palm was wet.

Not only that, even the corners of his clothes seemed to have become slippery.

Didn't it only scratch the fur, he thought to himself.

——Otherwise, why can’t I feel the pain?

…

Even the iron door bolt cannot withstand the repeated prying of several wooden sticks.

The warehouse door was finally pushed open completely, and the group could finally light the torches and search for the target of their trip.

"I didn't expect to be tricked by a brat." Chai Rong, the leader, looked around the warehouse and ordered with a cold look, "If anyone finds him, remember to notify me."

He originally wanted to wait until the man entered the house before killing him.

Now he doesn't intend to let the other party die easily.

It is really hard to let go of the depression in my heart without letting the other person cry and howl for mercy.

"Sir, I probably know where he is." Uncle Deng lowered his head slightly and said.

"oh?"

"There is a copper bell hanging on the roof of this building, which can be used to warn the surrounding areas, but... I disposed of the rope yesterday. It looks the same as before, but in fact the other end is no longer on the bell."

"You're interested." Chai Rong grinned. It was indeed the best choice to use this person as a breakthrough point. His vision of looking at people was still accurate. Even though the Jinxia people have an army under the mine and a guard stationed on the mountain, he can still run wild as long as he finds the weakest point on the defense line. "Take me to see it."

When the two came to the clock room, they didn't see Huo Ying, but they saw blood stains on the ground.

Following the blood trail, they found the reserve official of Jinxia City in a corner.

Half of his clothes were stained with blood, showing a rich dark red color. His chest was still rising and falling slightly, proving that he was still alive, but death was very close to him.

Tsk, Chai Rong secretly spat. It seemed that his sword had penetrated too deeply.

Now even if he slashed with a knife, this man probably wouldn't be able to let out any heart-rending screams.

"Hey, look at you, you have been reading books all your life, but you can't even understand a big truth." Uncle Deng shook his head, "Did the sage books teach you how to help the rebels?"

"No...the same..." Huo Ying said in a low voice.

"What's different?" Uncle Deng frowned.

He raised his chin slightly and looked at the two people, "When he said it was for the people of Li, his expression was different... Now I finally understand why I feel like hearing Master Zhou say such things... and hearing Master Xia say such things. Talking about different things.”

This problem has troubled Huo Ying for a long time.

But now he has an answer.

When Zhou Sheng mentioned the common people in the world and prayed for the people, he was talking about others.

His demeanor was exactly the same as that of Mr. Chai.

No matter how big the universe is, they are not among them.

As for Mr. Xia... Huo Ying had only met him once or twice in training classes, but every time he mentioned people's livelihood, the man seemed to be telling his own story.

No matter how small the scope, he never left himself out.

There are countless living beings in the world, and he is just one of them.

This is why two groups of people are talking about the same thing, but Huo Ying has completely different feelings.

"Serving the country and the people" is not for others, but for yourself.

Blessing the world also benefits oneself.

He raised the corners of his bloody mouth and murmured softly, "I understand the truth in the book..."

"Crazy talk." Chai Rong pulled out his sword, "You're lucky, I didn't do anything to the dying guy -"

He suddenly froze mid-sentence.

In the dim light of the fire, the spy saw a dark "thin line" spread behind the other party. If you didn't look carefully, it could easily be confused with the shadow in the corner.

But it's not a shadow, it's a line made of something physical.

At the same time, Huo Ying's hands seemed to be tightly covering her waist, but one of them was completely covered by her body.

Chai Rong's expression changed drastically.

"you--!"

At this moment, brilliant sparks appeared between Mr. Huo and the wall!

Chai Rong swooped forward and slashed with his sword - his target was not Huo Ying, but the black line made of gunpowder.

It's just that the gunpowder is sprinkled almost close to the wall. No matter what kind of weapon it is, it is impossible to split it into two parts properly.

Uncle Deng was stupid.

He watched as the fire flew like a golden snake and flew under the door of a house ten steps away.

"The Huo boy!"

Huo Ying opened his mouth and seemed to be saying something, but he could no longer see it.

A raging ball of flames burst out of the door, overturning obstacles along the way, and finally penetrated the roof and spurted outward——

"Boom————————————!"

The silence of the Baisha Mine at night was suddenly broken by this violent roar. Both the Jinxia garrison and the mine security team saw this flame tearing through the night.
