Chapter 266: The Secret of the Year
"Host, you're very busy right now, there's good news to inform you, do you want to hear it?" the system suddenly jumped out and reminded, startling Li Quan.
"Don't sell it, right?" Li Quan rolled his eyes and said.
The system suddenly felt bored: "You humans are really boring, okay, to tell you, just now, our flying iron vacuum pipeline has been laid, and there is only the last section of a hundred kilometers left, you can go over at any time, it depends on what you plan?"
"Okay, it's been nearly half a month faster than I expected, how are your observations of that large karst cave during this time, and is there any latest news?" Li Quan said with concern.
The system explained in detail: "Although the people below are well defended, after all, their technology is too far behind us, and we use high technology, and we still heard a lot of news during this time." ”
"You see, this is our three-dimensional scan of the cave, this cave is very large, the area is about thirty-one square kilometers, there is a soil city here, it should be established by your ancestors in the Tang Dynasty, the total population in the cave is about 23,600 people, the population density is still quite high, which also increases the difficulty of our observation. ”
"This person should be the leader of these people, but he also has a grandfather, very old, should be over ninety years old, but because the underground living environment is relatively harsh, we are also through remote observation, so it may not be accurate. "The system gives a picture of a middle-aged man and an old man.
"There is also a plant in the cave that can emit light, which is why they can live here, otherwise it will definitely not work by fire alone, because there is not so much firewood, and there is no combustible material such as oil found underneath, as for whether this plant that can emit light is from the cave itself or transplanted from the inner world of the earth is not known for the time being. ”
"You see, unlike the darkness in the cave, the light here is the same as ours, as if there is the same sun, so I can conclude that the other side of the cave must be the inner world, but the passage is not very wide, and it is guarded day and night, so we can't check the situation on the other side without alerting them. ”
"Tell me earlier, you are the system, don't you know that there is a detection device in the system that is smaller than a mosquito, let alone the system, even the current technology of Aqua Blue Star can do it, just use these little things to investigate in the past." Li Quan said speechlessly.
"Isn't this without your authorization, besides, the first thing you should do is to contact the people below, from them we can know more about the Inner World, otherwise even if the reconnaissance equipment enters the Inner World, it can only see some terrain and landforms, animals and plants. The system suggested.
"I need to arrange things on the ground, the journey to reach the inner world here is too long, it takes nearly ten hours to come and go, if you can't find me for such a long time, I'm afraid that New Tang will make a big fuss." Li Quan said.
Lizheng Palace.
"Yan'er, I have something important, I need to leave secretly for a few days, you manage the harem, don't make a mess, don't let others know about this matter except for you and Xiaoyan. Li Quan commanded.
"Your Majesty, is it dangerous?" Zhang Yan was first concerned about Li Quan's safety, and she was very smart and did not ask where Li Quan was going.
Li Quan didn't say it, it must be kept secret.
"It's not dangerous, it's just that it takes some time. Li Quan comforted.
"Then the concubine will rest assured, Your Majesty can go, the concubine will definitely take care of the things in the palace. Zhang Yan assured.
"Well, with you, I can rest assured. Li Quan said happily.
Leaving the Lizheng Palace, he found Zhang Xian, Liu Ming, and Shi Qiang, these people are not only the people he trusts the most, but also some of the most powerful people in Xintang, as long as they are not chaotic, Xintang will not have any problems.
"I have some things, I need to go out alone, the three of you need to cooperate sincerely to maintain the stability of the New Tang Dynasty, the elder of the pavilion must take care of the New Tang Dynasty, if someone in Huaguo sends someone over during this time, you will do what we said before, and the rest will be solved when I come back, Shi Qiang, you have to block all the news about me, but you don't need to make a big deal and arouse suspicion. Li Quan commanded.
"Yes, your ministers obey. ”
Three of you, you look at me, I look at you, but no one dares to ask Your Majesty where he is going, so he can only give up.
"The general stays, you can retreat first. Li Quan finally said.
"Yes, the ministers are retired. ”
Liu Ming was surprised, he didn't know what His Majesty left him for?
"General, if I remember correctly, your family is the fifth generation of the same family, and your grandfather should still be alive, right?" Li Quan asked suddenly.
Liu Ming didn't know what His Majesty meant, but he still replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister's grandfather is indeed alive." ”
Li Quan nodded: "I heard that your grandfather was a royal guard when he was young, didn't he?"
Liu Ming replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
"How is General Liu's health now, and how old is he?" asked Li Quan.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister's grandfather is 99 years old this year, because he has always insisted on practicing martial arts, his body is still quite strong, and he doesn't need to be supported by others when he walks. Liu Ming said.
At the age of 99, he can still move freely, and his physical fitness is indeed very good.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll go to your house to visit General Liu now, I need his old man's help with something, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" Li Quan asked.
"Convenient, no, Your Majesty can come to the cold house, it is the glory of the minister's family, but I am afraid that the cold house is shabby and neglects Your Majesty. Liu Ming replied hurriedly.
Liu Ming didn't know what His Majesty wanted to do now, but judging from His Majesty's tone and attitude, it shouldn't be a bad thing, and the biggest possibility was that he wanted to ask his grandfather about something.
After a while, Li Quan came to the old house of the Liu family, the old house is in the original Lantian County, not the general's mansion in Chang'an City, after all, the old man likes to be quiet, in the countryside, this is the original saying, and now he is in the manor for the elderly.
"Your Majesty..."Li Quan hurriedly interrupted:
"I have a private interview with Weifu this time, so I don't need to make it known to everyone. ”
"Yes, I see. Liu Ming sent his subordinates away, and then arranged a secret meeting between Li Quan and his grandfather.
"Your Majesty, the old minister. Although the New Tang Dynasty has already abolished the kneeling system, it has only been a few years, and General Liu has returned to his hometown decades ago, so he still habitually wants to bow down
Li Quan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, not to mention that the New Tang Dynasty had abolished the kneeling system, not to mention that the old man in front of him was about to be a hundred years old, which could be exempted from kneeling when he saw the king in ancient times.
"Old General Liu, there is no need to make this big salute, our Xintang Dynasty has already abolished the kneeling system, and you are so old, you bow down to me, but you want to break my yang life. Li Quan joked.
"The minister does not dare, the minister will only pray for long live Your Majesty, although the minister is old, but the eyes are not dazzled, the ears are not deaf, knowing the changes in our country in recent years, Your Majesty is not only a saint who has opened up the territory through the ages, but also reshaped the self-confidence and backbone of our new Tang Dynasty. "It's rare for the old man to be so excited.
"Hehe, old general, the country needs you, I don't know if the general told you, our Xintang now has the technology to manufacture genetic drugs, just the raw materials, the first batch of materials will mature in less than two years, and you will be the first people to enjoy it at that time, so ah, you have to live in good health, and when the time comes, it may not be impossible to go to the battlefield." Li Quan said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. The old general was in tears, and I didn't know whether he was moved or excited.
"I have something to say to the old general. Li Quan looked at Liu Ming and said.
Liu Ming immediately understood: "The minister is guarding His Majesty outside the door, and he will never let anyone approach." Liu Ming immediately understood His Majesty's meaning and said.
Old General Liu looked at all this, not knowing why, but he didn't speak, after all, so many years have not been in vain.
Waiting for Liu Ming to close the door, the old general said: "I don't know what Your Majesty commands, the old man swears to die." ”
Li Quan smiled slightly and asked: "Hehe, there is no need for the old general to make such a big sacrifice, I do have a major matter that needs the help of the old general, I don't know if the old general still remembers that more than seventy years ago, 100,000 people suddenly disappeared on Zhenguan Island, I don't know if the old general knows the secret of the year?"
Old General Liu glanced at Li Quan meaningfully, he was one of the few people who knew that there were no alien spaceships on Zhenguan Island at all, and he had also heard the news that Li Quan had announced to the outside world, but Li Quan was the Son of Heaven, and he had nothing to say about Xintang, he was a rare Saint King, so he didn't tell anyone about it.
General Liu Lao thought for a while and said: "It's normal that Your Majesty doesn't know the situation there, and I'm afraid that the first emperor may not know, because Emperor Ruizong (ps: Ruizong is the nickname of the fifth emperor of the New Tang Dynasty and Li Quan's great-grandfather. The death was too sudden, and there was no time to complete the transfer of power, which is why the rebellion of that year occurred. ”
Li Quan nodded, he didn't expect that there was such a secret behind the rebellion of his grandfather's generation.
"As for the matter of Zhenguan Island, Lao Yu happened to be serving as the imperial guard of Emperor Ruizong at that time, so he knew a little, it seems that he heard that a gold mine was found on Zhenguan Island, and there is a mysterious passage, but that passage is very legendary, some say that it is the Huangquan Road leading to hell, and some say that it is the heavenly road to the heavenly realm, but for many years it has not been possible to find the end of that passage, so everything is just a legend, and there is no conclusive evidence. "I want to talk about "Super King" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
