Chapter 214
But on Shutong's side, walking around the Houzhai with his hands behind his back, he found that the valley was huge, and the cliffs on all sides were steep into the clouds.

Looking all the way, I suddenly became playful and wanted to try to see if I could climb up from the bottom of this cliff?
The speed ability was activated, and the whole person jumped up with a little tiptoe. The little feet wearing embroidered shoes tapped lightly on the cliff, and the person also took advantage of the strength to jump up again.

She managed to climb to the top of the nearly [-]-foot cliff with only three footholds.

Standing on the top of the cliff, Shutong looks far away, and the mountain wind blows her skirt, like a pink flower blooming on the edge of the cliff.

On the top of the cliff is a continuous primeval forest, lush and eerie.

Shutong looked around, and found that there were not many wild animals here, and she was a little bored, and fell back to the bottom of the valley lightly.

When she showed her hand, the bandits at the bottom of the valley were dumbfounded, and their eyeballs almost popped out.

This female queen is not only extremely powerful, but also has light kung fu. Is this still a human being?She wouldn't be a fairy descending to earth!

The crowd stared at the queen from a distance with admiration and fear.

Shutong didn't know that his actions had shocked them, and they had already been sent to the altar by them.

It may be that the gap is too large. These people can only watch from a distance while being in awe. No one dares to get close.

Back at the bottom of the valley, there is always a strange smell in Shutong's protruding nose.

Strolling forward, I found rows of stone caves cut against the cliff, and each cave had iron railings as thick as fingertips.

It was dark inside, and someone could be vaguely seen working inside.

Shutong's facial features were different from ordinary people's, and he could clearly see some people in ragged clothes and haggard faces working there.

Hearing footsteps at the door, those people didn't even lift their heads, they just focused on the work at hand, not sure if they were too focused or numb!
There were bandits holding whips at the entrance of the cave. When they saw her, they were so excited that they almost knelt down.

"What are they doing?" Shutong asked.

A little boss nodded and bowed his head and said, "Back to the queen, they are making smoke."

"Oh!" Shutong looked away disinterestedly, and looked at the steam rising from the stone roof not far away.

"Is that the kitchen over there? Have you started making dinner?"

The little boss laughed and said, "Go back to the queen! There are tobacco leaves being roasted!"

It's not cooking!Shutong lost interest again and was going back to the village.

Suddenly, I saw a few vicious bandits, and scolded a group of people carrying heavy tobacco leaves to move forward.

These people were all skinny and bowed, panting heavily with every step they took.

And those bandits also waved their whips from time to time, ordering them to move faster.

The little leader next to him followed carefully all the way.Seeing that the Queen's gaze fell on the pedestrian, she hurriedly said: "These are the hostages that were captured. Because no ransom was sent, they stayed here to work."

"Hmm!" Shutong looked at these skinny people, and suddenly thought of King Qi's guards, they must have done this kind of work, so they are so haggard!

He hummed, "What do they eat every day?"

The little boss hurriedly apologized with a smile: "If you can't pay the ransom, it's fine if you don't starve to death. Everyone has a bowl of gruel!"

Shutong curled her lips and said, "What kind of vision do you have? How did you catch all the poor ghosts? You can't even pay the ransom."

The little boss laughed secretly, if it wasn't for the big fat sheep, wouldn't the brothers be willing to make a move?

"Majesty, they all have some belongings, but they belong to us once they enter the cottage. How can they support them for nothing, so they asked their families to go back and collect the ransom. In the end, less than half of them were paid for ransom. It's a pity to kill the rest. , so I stayed and worked."

"Oh!" Shutong sighed secretly and shook his head, "It seems that their character is not very good, and the family members are not willing to use money to redeem them!"

The little boss didn't know that the queen would think so, and secretly smiled that the ransom the cottage asked for was not a small amount of money, how many people could afford it?

Those who need to work in Houzhai, even if they don’t ask for a lot of ransom, they won’t be able to gather the labor force!

However, there should be no need to explain this kind of thing to the queen, and said with a smile: "Yes, these are all given up by the family members. We should be lucky to give them a bite of food in our cottage!"

He pointed at a laggard with a whip and said, "Look, this is not enough. If you work slowly, you know you are lazy."

While speaking, a young man lashed at the man with a whip, "I haven't eaten, hurry up, and I will beat you to death if you drag me any longer!"

The man was already unsteady in his steps, so he was whipped and rolled on the ground with a scream, and the heavy basket on his back was also scattered.

Xiao Xiaoluo originally wanted to show off in front of the queen, but he didn't expect that these labors would not cooperate, so he couldn't help but become angry, and took the whip twice again, and the person who was whipped rolled over while crying.

"Forgive me, I really can't move anymore."

Shutong looked back, the little boss saw the empress' expressionless face, wondering if she was happy or unhappy.

Just as she was considering whether to stop drinking, she saw the queen carefully lifting her skirt and preparing to leave.

Secretly heaved a sigh of relief, their king is a little girl, maybe he will soften his heart when he sees Lao Li being bullied, but fortunately, the king is the king!There's no such thing as empathy.

To be honest, Shutong is really calm in her heart, there are too many injustices in this world, she never planned to be a saint.

These people are reduced to bandit coolies, only to blame their own bad luck.

As soon as we came to Tian Geng here, suddenly a figure rushed over.

Want to sneak attack!
Without thinking, Shutong kicked the man away.

There was only a scream, and a figure flew out and hit the row of coolies who were walking unsteadily.

In an instant, everyone was brought down, and the tobacco leaves in the bamboo baskets were scattered all over the ground.

The young men were all startled, and they yelled at Lao Li for cleaning up.

Shutong kicked the person away, pouted and prepared to continue going out.

The person who was kicked away suddenly screamed, "Queen! I beg you to have mercy, have pity on us!"

Shutong paused.

That person is not dead?

The man was kicked flying, originally he was dead, but he was lucky enough to hit another man's back basket, which gave him a buffer, and rolled into the thick tobacco field, so he survived.

The person implicated by him will not have such a good life!Originally, he was tired for a long time and lacked nutrition. He was taken upside down by an innocent person and died directly. No matter how skilled the doctor is, it is estimated that he will not be able to save him!
That person didn't even have time to look back at the person he had implicated, instead he kowtowed towards Shutong and shouted, "Queen, save us!"

Shutong was taken aback, why do you call me Queen?Is this also a subordinate?

She walked over with her skirt in hand, and found that this man was a ragged laborer.

After thinking about it, they were all in the cottage, and they could barely be regarded as his subordinates.

"Okay, stop kowtowing! What are you going to say?"
