The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 81 Reminds Xiao Baojing of Cows and Horses

When Xiao Baojing woke up, there was noise and sounds of metal colliding everywhere.

The pupils gradually focus.

A huge orange-red fireball was burning in the brass dome directly above, illuminating the huge space.

Countless mechanical gears were built in the air and on the ground. Strange-looking monsters carried baskets full of coal on their backs, climbed up the machines with unsteady steps, and poured the coal into the black iron furnace.

They looked skinny and ragged, and if they moved a little slowly, they would be whipped and insulted by the petty officials.

"Where is this?"

Xiao Baojing rubbed his head and sat up.

"Are you awake?" A concerned voice came from the side, "This is the underground part of Mansudae."

Xiao Baojing looked at the person who spoke blankly.

She was a nine-foot-tall girl, wearing a green dress and a flowery skirt. Although she took great care of it, her flowery skirt still got dirty in this filthy and dirty underground filled with machine slag.

Xiao Baojing looked at the concerned face of the elder girl and suddenly remembered the old lady Zhao whom he met on the outskirts of Yejing.

——As for me, I don’t expect her to make a lot of money outside, I just hope she can come home before the New Year.

——By the way, little girl, when you go to Yejing, if you see a girl in a green dress with a flowery skirt, can you tell her that her mother-in-law is waiting for her to come home? Her name is Jun Baojie, she is very tall, you can recognize her at a glance!

Xiao Baojing suddenly sat up: "Jun Baojie?!"

The older girl was curious: "Do you know me?"

"I helped Grandma Zhao harvest rice. She said you had been working away from home for two years. She knew I was coming to Yejing, so she asked me to tell you that it didn't matter how much money you made, she was looking forward to you coming home for the New Year this year."

Jun Baojie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered his face with his hands and started crying: "I can't go home!"

Xiao Baojing subconsciously wanted to take a handkerchief from her bag and hand it to Jun Baojie, but when she touched her side, she found that her bag was missing, probably snatched away by Xiao Nanjia's guards.

She had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't cry! Why can't you go home?"

Jun Baojie sobbed: "Wanshoutai's recruitment is a scam from the beginning to the end!"

"what?"

Jun Baojie's eyes were red. "The fourth princess supervised the construction of the Wanshou Terrace and recruited spirits and ghosts from all over the world to come and work, saying that food and accommodation were provided and wages were paid. I came here excitedly and worked hard every day, thinking that I could get some money, but they mixed a special herb into the rice, which could make the spirits overdraw their spirits and strength and do more work for them in a short period of time.

"I took the herbs for two years without realizing it, and my body gradually broke down. I could no longer work for them like before. They said I could retire and give me a large sum of money. But they lied to me. They kicked me underground and asked me to continue working here. They said that if we worked here for 20 years, they would let us go."

Xiao Baojing looked around and guessed that the machinery here was the secret to maintaining the rotation of the sun, moon, stars and stairs on Wanshou Terrace.

She quickly found a few familiar faces.

They are the so-called monsters in the big bunk bed who are ready to retire.

Each of them carried a basket of coal briquettes that was taller than them, their waists were almost bent or broken, and they were whipped by petty officials and forced to move forward.

It reminded Xiao Baojing of cows and horses.

Cows and horses are both working people. If they are not obedient, they will be whipped and beaten. Those who are unlucky will be exhausted to death, while those who are lucky can survive to old age.

But when they get too old to work, they will still be killed. Those people eat their meat, peel their skin, and boil their bones into a fragrant thick soup to feed the whole family.

Xiao Baojing suddenly remembered Xiao Nanjia's words:

——All the evildoers in the world deserve to die.

No wonder Xiao Nanjia hated monsters so much, but when he was supervising the construction of Wanshoutai, he only allowed monsters to come and work.

Because this is a complete conspiracy, her conspiracy against ghosts and monsters!

She wanted to use this method to murder the evildoer she hated!

Xiao Baojing felt a chill when he remembered that it was that beautiful girl with a face as beautiful as jade and as red as a flower who threw her into this hellish place.

There was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the air.

Before Xiao Baojing could react, he was hit hard on the back by a whip.

A fat and bloated clerk squinted his eyes and cursed: "What are you two pigs still daydreaming about?! Why don't you get to work?! Be careful or I'll beat you up!"

Xiao Baojing grimaced in pain.

Her eyes were red, and before she had time to treat her wounds, she was forced to carry a large basket of coal.

Jun Baojie was much taller than her and was very strong. Seeing that she was so thin, he secretly took a lot of coal from her backpack and put it in his own basket.

The two climbed up the mechanical gear under the supervision of the clerk. Jun Baojie couldn't help but whispered, "Is grandma okay?" "Very well, but she misses you a lot! By the way, her brother passed away last year, didn't you know?"

Jun Baojie felt a sore nose and burst into tears: "Grandpa is gone? Then who will harvest the rice for her? She is so old, how can she harvest the rice by herself!"

Xiao Baojing looked at her with sympathy, but there was nothing he could do.

Xiao Baojing followed the monsters to carry coal, carrying it back and forth more than ten times.

Because she was underground, she didn't know whether it was day or night.

It was not until her legs were so tired that she could not get up from the sandbag that she heard the sound of a gong not far away: "It's time to eat!"

Jun Baojie dragged her to get food.

The food was pitifully small, consisting of only a hard black steamed bun and a few pickles.

Xiao Baojing was dissatisfied: "Who can eat this little food?"

The old woman who was serving the rice knocked the edge of the pot with her iron spoon and replied impatiently: "If you like it, eat it. If you don't, get out!"

Jun Baojie desperately winked at Xiao Baojing and dragged her away.

The two sat on sandbags and ate steamed bread. Jun Baojie said sadly, "We have to endure for twenty years before we can get out. Life is so short. I don't know if grandma will still be around in twenty years..."

Xiao Baojing took a bite of the steamed bun.

Twenty years...

Who knows what it will be like in twenty years.

Maybe they won't even make it to that day, and will die of exhaustion here like cattle and horses.

Besides, who can guarantee that those petty officials will let them go after twenty years?
Xiao Baojing felt that this statement was more like a carrot used by Xiao Nanjia as bait.

The days were very difficult to endure, but she set a deadline for this period, so these monsters always held on to a glimmer of hope. They dedicated their values in the way Xiao Nanjia expected, maintaining the smooth operation of Wanshoutai and preventing riots from happening underground.

Xiao Nanjia...

She is so calculating!

There are no separate rooms for the spirits underground.

Xiao Baojing and Jun Baojie were lying on the ground with sandbags as their pillows. The huge fireball hanging in the sky kept burning, illuminating the entire underground as bright as day.

Xiao Baojing closed his eyes sleepily.

She missed the peddler a little.

I don’t know how far he has investigated Xiao Yulou’s case.

She said she would go see him after she became an adult, but now, let alone seeing him, she was afraid that she couldn't even cultivate into an adult.

Xiao Baojing felt a sore nose. He curled up into a ball and rubbed his wet eyes quietly.

There was still noise all around, and the clerks were driving away another group of monsters to transport coal.

Xiao Baojing was half asleep and half awake when he suddenly remembered Xiao Nanjia and Chao Yuan's plan.

They planned to blow up Manshoutai on the Mid-Autumn Festival and murder the emperor and the prince.

If Mansudae was bombed, what would happen to the underground?
If the underground exploded as well, would thousands of monsters, including her, be killed?

Crown Prince Xiao Qian will die.

She will die too.

Xiao Baojing fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, the sun in the sky was swallowed by Chao Yuan.

This world has completely fallen into chaos and darkness...

"boom!"

When Xiao Baojing was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly awakened by an explosion.

She sat up suddenly, looking panicked: "Manshou Tower exploded?!"
