Chapter 991 Welfare in the Mine

　　Jun Yichen entrusted Yang Chaofan to the mountain, and Shengze's previous plan went smoothly. The team that had come to northern Hubei to convey the imperial edict were all deployed to various mining sites.

　　Among them, the young eunuch who served Yang Chaofan personally was unfortunately assigned to the mine where Li Junyi was.

"Young Eunuch Li?" Li Junyi stared at the dusty young eunuch with wide eyes, "Why are you here too?"

　　This eunuch Li was the apprentice of the chief eunuch beside Sheng Zhan. He was quite favored by the emperor and because his surname was Li, Li Junyi became acquainted with him.

　　There was another eunuch with the surname Li in the palace. This one was younger, so Li Junyi called him "Eunuch Little Li".

　　The young eunuch also looked at Li Junyi in astonishment, "Master Li? You are here too?"

　　As soon as he said this, he suddenly remembered that the previous sneak attack on northern Hubei had failed, and General Jing He and Governor Li Junyi had both been captured by the northern Hubei army. It was not surprising that Li Junyi was here.

　　"Before coming here, I heard that Eunuch Li was assigned to the Imperial Master. Now that you are here, then the Imperial Master..." Li Junyi suddenly had a bad feeling.

　　The Imperial Master holds a special status in the court, and no one has ever seen his true face. However, Sheng Zhan lets the Imperial Master do many things, which shows that he is a man of real ability.

　　But now everyone around the Imperial Master has been captured by the Hubei Northern Army. Can the imperial court's plan against the Hubei Northern Army really work?

　　The young eunuch dragged the basket full of iron ore with great effort, and whispered to Li Junyi: "The Imperial Master is not an ordinary person. The Hubei Northern Army can't catch him. I guess the Imperial Master must have discovered that we are missing by now."

　　He told Li Junyi that the court had sent someone to announce the decree, and at the end he said expectantly: "Don't worry, Lord Li, the Imperial Master will definitely send someone to rescue us!"

　　"Shh!" Li Junyi quickly made a gesture to silence the noise, "Speak softly, these people are not easy to mess with!"

　　He saw clearly these days that the Hubei Northern Army did not treat them, the prisoners, well. Although no one abused them, they still had to do a lot of work every day.

　　When it's time to finish work and rest at night, no one has the extra time to think about how to leave.

　　"It seems that the imperial court has been deceived by them before." The young eunuch lowered his voice, his eyes wandering around.

　　Everywhere you look there is a busy scene, everyone is working hard. With so much iron ore being mined, it is no wonder that the Hubei Northern Army has such sophisticated weapons.

　　At this time, the supervisor shouted, "Stop for a moment and drink some water!"

　　Li Junyi quickly pulled the young eunuch to a shed at the edge of the mine, with a bit of excitement on his face, "Little Eunuch Li, let's talk later, let's drink some water first."

　　The young eunuch didn't understand what he was so happy about, so he just stretched his neck and looked forward.

　　I saw several soldiers carrying several large baskets of something and placing them on the ground, with two large vats emitting steam nearby.
