Chapter 43: The Lady and the Collapse of the Country
The sturdy officer immediately turned around and went down to make arrangements, and the rest of the soldiers followed suit and began to get busy.
Prince Masahito entered the mine alone. He was a military commander of the Kujo family.
As soon as he learned about the mining disaster, the head of the Kujo family became furious and asked him to go find out the cause. No matter who did it, he must be taken down!
I saw that the stones in the mine had been moved aside, revealing the true appearance of the depths of the mine.
This mine tunnel is not as spacious as imagined, only more than two meters wide, but it is very deep and extends in all directions.
Young Master Zhengren walked all the way down and came to the depths of the mine. The rocks here were dug up with pickaxes, revealing the passage inside.
His footsteps stopped and he looked up towards the ground.
I saw that the soil was scorched, and the ground was covered with black ash, which looked very burnt.
Not far in front of him, a huge stone monument was erected here.
There were many complicated runes engraved on the stone tablet, and a strong death aura emanated from the stone tablet, causing the surrounding temperature to drop significantly.
Prince Zhengren looked carefully and found that what was carved on the stone tablet was actually a totem, a ferocious python coiled on the stone wall.
"Is this the Toroha clan?" Prince Masahito recognized the thing on the totem. It was the evil god of Kaiji Island, who once led the rebels to invade the shogunate.
He was beheaded by General Raiden on Hachiro Island, but why did the totem of the evil god appear in the mine? Shouldn't it have been known to the shogunate a long time ago?
Young Master Zhengren was puzzled and couldn't help but look up.
I saw a huge hole in the wall diagonally above him, which was facing the center of the mine.
It seems that this hole should be the cause of the mining accident. Someone should have placed explosives there.
Suddenly, Young Master Zhengren seemed to have discovered something in the cave. He tried to get closer to take a look. Just as he was about to walk over, a cold female voice came from behind.
"Don't look around, you will die." The voice sounded nice, but there was a hint of chill in the tone, making people's skin crawl all over.
Young Master Zhengren turned to look at the person who was speaking, and saw that she was wearing a golden mask on her face. Under the mask, a faint sneer could be seen hanging from the corner of her mouth. She was looking at Young Master Zhengren indifferently.
Young Master Zhengren suddenly felt a little nervous and scared, because when he saw the masked woman for the first time, he had the idea in his mind that this masked woman must be a ruthless killer because of all the things about her.
What emitted was biting ice.
Like the Siberian icy wind, it chills the heart.
"Who are you? This is the center of the shogunate, get out quickly!" Master Zhengren suppressed his fear and shouted sternly.
"Are all Takayuki Kujo's subordinates at this level? Did Ye Ying explain everything in vain?" the masked woman said calmly.
Young Master Masahito was shocked. He remembered what the head of the Kujo family had said to him. He quickly bowed his head and apologized: "Executor, please forgive me, but I was blind."
The masked woman ignored Young Master Zhengren, waved her hand to him and said, "Watch the door, don't let anyone else in, you can go out."
"Yes, Mr. Executive Officer." Young Master Zhengren immediately bowed and saluted, then turned and left.
When he turned around and walked out, his back was soaked with sweat.
"What a terrifying pressure. This woman must be very powerful. I am no match for him." Young Master Zhengren thought to himself, not daring to provoke the masked woman anymore and hurriedly walked out.
"Ouch!" Young Master Zhengren stumbled and almost fell down. Fortunately, he held on to a stone pillar next to him and did not fall down.
This startled him and he quickly turned his head and looked back.
He saw a short, beautiful traveler dressed like a man and a woman standing in front of him, staring at him coldly.
This man is very strange. Even in the cave, he wears a big bamboo hat and has a cold expression.
Looking at this man's face, Young Master Zhengren's heart suddenly trembled.
"It's you!" He stared at him in shock with his eyes widened.
He didn't expect that this person would come back!
Young Master Zhengren couldn't help but look up, and realized that Ina's wife's life was about to change.
…
"Boom!"
The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a thunder exploded in the clouds, flashing with a dazzling light, as if something big was about to rush out from the clouds.
The heavy rain poured down, hitting the thundering ground, making a crackling sound. Under the rain curtain, the angry villagers rushed home one after another, cursing along the way.
"What the hell is the weather! It's raining suddenly!!"
"This rain is just like those guys from the shogunate, it's unreasonable!!!"
"Stop yelling and go home quickly. If you get wet later, the plague might come again!!!" the village chief shouted.
Everyone's heart trembled when they heard about the plague.
They don't want the plague to appear in their homes again.
On the coast not far away, a beautiful girl with blue hair held an umbrella and said to the man in white who was walking in the rain: "Come under the umbrella, don't get wet. If you get sick, your health
If it collapses early, then who am I to fight against the abyss?"
Yun Mo raised his hands to face the sky. The devil's hand was beating slightly and glowing red in the rain, beating like a heart.
He ignored the rain falling on his hair. Yun Mo could feel the devil's hands frantically absorbing the power of the rain.
The rain actually contains the power of worshiping gods. Something big must have happened on Ba Ling Island. A trace of worry flashed in Yun Mo's eyes.
Youla looked at Yun Mo stupidly getting wet in the heavy rain, and she said, "Come here quickly, my umbrella is still big enough, be careful if you get sick, I won't take care of people like you do."
"You have to be careful. This rain is very strange. The rain is rich in the power of the evil god. If it touches the body, it will change." Yun Mo said.
"Then why aren't you afraid?"
"The evil god and so on are just bait to me." Yun Mo smiled confidently.
Youla stood there and said, "Then if you don't get under the umbrella, I will get wet in the rain with you."
Yun Mo glanced at Youla and nodded slightly. Then he walked over, stretched out his hand, took the handle of Youla's umbrella, and opened it.
The umbrella handle was wet from the rain, and water drops were dripping down Yunmo's hair. He looked at Youla's delicate side face, and a strange look rose in his heart. He stretched out his right hand to touch it.
He touched her hair and praised: "Your hair is so beautiful."
Yula's head was touched by Yun Mo, her pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and she glared at Yun Mo shyly: "I hate it, don't touch my hair with your wet hands."
