Chapter 248: Purpose

From this point of view, the identities of Duan Lianqing and Miao Luhou seem to be obvious, their ancestors can be the ancestors of that candidate country, so they know that there is an ancient city in this Wandao Lake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But what they came in to get it, I don't know, but when they were in the water, they tried their best to protect them, but then they didn't look very anxious, and maybe it wasn't that important.

Thinking about it, when the capital was moved before, the monarch finally decided to introduce water into Wandao Lake after a trade-off, and when he was preparing, he must have taken away the things in the palace and the important things for the people.

Song Chen was just curious, why couldn't the ancient city in the water be seen when it was on the water? Is it because of a coincidence or because of man-made? If it was just a coincidence, it might not be too coincidental, but if it was man-made, it seems that there was no need for people at the time to do so.

The people who moved out of the capital and the people around them would not know that there were once people living there, and even if this memory was shielded with a mechanism or something, someone would still know about it. The monarch could not have predicted that he would ruin his country and his family, and there was no secret under the water, so he could use so much effort?

Thinking about it this way, Song Chen and Su Miao decided to follow their original plan and go to the scene to take a look.

The next morning, Song Chen and Su Miao took Xiaobai back to Wandao Lake, and after arriving at the island in the center of the lake, they put Xiaobai on the island and let it move on its own, Song Chen and Su Miao took the three intact air bags they got from Duan Lianqing and they dived underwater.

The sun has just appeared, and Wandao Lake is known for its cold water, Song Chen and Su Miao were really cold when they first saw the water, but fortunately they had internal force to protect their bodies, as long as they were running, they couldn't feel the coolness.

When she dived to a depth of about five feet, Su Miao really found the situation that Song Chen said—when she reached this depth, the situation at the bottom of the lake she saw was really very different from when she looked down on the water, and she could already see the outline of the underwater building in a hidden way.

However, after reaching this depth, the underwater light becomes weaker and weaker, and the line of sight down is not so good, and it is impossible to predict how far down there will be. The two of them held hands and continued to sink, and then they were about four or five feet down, and they had already begun to have direct contact with the tallest building. At this time, perhaps because the water was too deep, people began to feel a little uncomfortable, this situation was not expected by Su Miao and Song Chen, because they had never dived so deep before.

They stopped in that position for a while to get used to it, and the speed of their physical strength increased, and after a while, after the discomfort was removed, they continued to go down. At this depth, they could still see a little silver light on the surface of the water, which was the projection of the sun on the water, but the light could not penetrate it, and it was dark around them. Su Miao and Song Chen could have seen in the dark, but this was underwater, and in this kind of darkness, it was still possible for them to see the things around them clearly, but if they wanted to see the details, they still had to use light.

Fortunately, Song Chen had been prepared for this, and he prepared a small sealed glass lamp, which contained the silver scale grass that he had asked Su Miao for before. This kind of grass is also planted a lot by Su Miao in Tianjian Peak, in fact, it has no medicinal value, just because it grows to flower, it can shine at night, she thinks it is interesting, so she has planted a lot of it everywhere, in this way, in the night when there is no moon in Tianjian Peak, you can see things without lighting the lamp, which is very convenient.

Song Chen's lamp was filled with sun-dried silver scale grass, although the amount didn't seem to be much, but when the light dimmed, this brightness seemed very bright.

The distance within a radius of Song Chen and Su Miao lit up. The capacity of the airbags is limited, and they have to hurry up and look around.

I don't know if it's because the previous capital is small, or because it has been flooded for too long, a large part of the buildings are decaying and decaying, and it only took them half a day to finish the entire complex, which doesn't seem to be half the size of the palace in Syranny City! And they had looked at the whole building carefully, and on the surface they didn't see where there would be any mechanism or anything like that, and as for the interior of the building, they didn't go deep - because although the buildings looked quite intact, it should be because there was nothing to disturb under the water for many years, and if an external force was added, it might not be able to withstand a slightly greater force, and the whole building would collapse. Song Chen and Su Miao didn't expect this situation when they came down just now, and when they stopped on a roof, they used a little force, and the roof was broken.

Song Chen and Su Miao touched all under the water, but still didn't find any clues about the mechanism, seeing that the third air bag was about to run out, Song Chen tightened Su Miao's hand and pointed to the top of his head, meaning that it was time to go up.

Su Miao then followed Song Chen and slowly floated up. Back on the island, Xiao Bai didn't go crazy around, but quietly lay near the foothold where they first arrived, and saw the two masters coming back wet, and hurriedly rushed over.

Xiaobai had the clothes they brought with him on his back. Song Chen and the others originally thought that if they went deep into the bottom of the lake, the water inside might be relatively muddy, and it would be better for them to change their clothes immediately after they came up. Because although you can use internal force to dry the clothes you are wearing, after soaking in the lake, it still doesn't feel very clean and a little awkward. But after going ashore, Song Chen changed his mind again - the main thing is that although this small island looks inaccessible, there is no cover around the trees, if you change clothes directly, of course he and Su Miao are both polite people and will not look around, but what if there are other people around? Although if there was someone around for the breath, he and Su Miao should be able to detect it, but what if someone was more powerful than them or had other ways to shield the breath? He couldn't let that happen.

Su Miao, who was puzzled, also felt the same way after Song Chen's explanation, and sat cross-legged with him for a while, and after drying his clothes with internal force, he took Xiaobai back to the inn in Cuilan City, and asked the guy to send hot water to take a bath and change the clothes on his body.

The two met in Su Miao's room and began to discuss the ancient city they saw in the water. Fang Cai couldn't speak when he was in the water, and their every move was based on eye contact, and at this time, Su Miaocai asked the question in his heart: "Ah Chen, it seems that the palace in the water is the palace of the previous dynasty, right?" ”

"Well, look at the buildings." Song Chen also felt the same way, "After all, after soaking in water for a long time, maybe the houses of other people in the capital have been soaked, and only the palace can last for so long because the materials used are relatively strong......

"Do you see any doorway?" Su Miao said that the ancient city they had expected was due to the fact that there was a mechanism that caused the situation that the bottom of the water could not be seen on the water.

"I don't think there's a mechanism or anything like that." Although he didn't go deep into the interior of the building, Song Chen had already looked at those buildings carefully, "Maybe it's really a coincidence!" The location of the ancient city is a little deep from the water, and the water of Wandao Lake is not as clear as we see on Haijiao Island, and there is a reflection on the surface of the water, which may be why the mystery of the bottom cannot be discovered. According to the boatmen at that time, the water depth was nearly ten zhang, which was twice as deep as the ancient city of Wandao Lake! Maybe they also have a preconceived idea because of this, so they think it is a strange thing to not be able to see the bottom of the water four or five feet deep in the lake.

If it weren't for the strange behavior seen in the lake, Su Miao and the others would already be on their way out of Cuilan City. At this time, Wandao Lake has also seen it, Duan Lianqing and the others don't seem to have appeared since they had dinner yesterday, and they may have left the room. In this case, Song Chen and Su Miao also planned to go to Yilan City as planned.

Yilan City is also a border city, bordering a small country called Jinsha.

However, because of the natural geographical location advantage, the border cities are generally more prosperous than ordinary cities. Moreover, although Jinsha is not a vassal country of Dalan, it is also a country with good relations, and the trade between the two countries is very frequent, which makes Yilan City also a very prosperous border city.

Yilan City borders Jinsha Country with the North City Gate, and Su Miao entered from the South City Gate, when they first entered the city, they felt that this city seemed to be quieter than Cuilan City, but after arriving at the city center, they began to find that it was actually more lively than Cuilan City. Cuilan City is mainly engaged in the trade of livestock, while in Yilan City, the goods are much more diverse, in addition to the local abundant cloth, there are also many merchants from Jinsha Country who come here to do business, they also do cloth and embroidery business, but their products are much more expensive.

The reason why Jinsha got its name is because there was once a gold mine in the local area, and the minerals were so rich that people could sift out some broken gold by digging the sand directly under the stream downstream of a stream that passed through the mine. The people of the entire Jinsha country are very rich, and the goods they produce are also full of "luxury". For example, in those shops that do cloth and embroidery threads, the cloth is inlaid with gold thread, and the embroidery thread is also dipped in gold dust, and even more, the embroidery thread is directly made of gold and silver! And they also have that kind of colorful embroidery thread in their shop.

At that time, Lin Yi also sent someone to find a craftsman in the Eagle Country to order it, and put it in the rouge shop to sell it, which was extremely sought after because it was rare. Su Miao remembered that the crown princess Yun Yuan and Song Heng's princess Liu Mengyao were very fond of this kind of embroidery thread, but it was a pity that the craftsman who made the colorful embroidery thread had an accident later, and there was no way to make this kind of embroidery thread anymore, and then the embroidery thread in the rouge store was directly out of stock. Now that it can be found here, Su Miao bought a lot, and when she is ready to go to the first two cities, there will be a Hengqing Hall, and when they have a convoy to go to Selangor City, they will bring it to Lin Yi by the way. She also wrapped two more copies, indicating that they were gifts for Yun Yuan and Liu Mengyao, and asked Lin Yi to send someone to send them over at that time.

After returning to the inn, Song Chen put down the big bag and small bag that Su Miao bought, and asked Su Miao, who was pouring tea, "Miaomiao, have you found it?" ”

"You mean Duan Lianqing and Miao Luhou?" Su Miao is not easy to have an impression of the person she met for the first time, but these two people have had a few encounters and have eaten together, and she still remembers it. When they were on the street just now, they saw these two people again, and coincidentally, the other party seemed to be staying in the same inn.

"Do you think they're purely because they're like-minded? Or are you stalking us? The other party moved into a room on the same floor as them, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

"It shouldn't be a stalking...... Su Miao felt unlikely, "It's not us who snatched their things, what are they doing with us?" ”

"When we go out again tomorrow, we'll see what they're doing." Song Chen is still very confident in his intuition, he is always very vigilant when he goes out, but every time he feels that there may be a problem, there must be a real problem.

"Well, it doesn't matter if it's tracking." After Su Miao poured a cup of tea for Song Chen, she began to pack up the "loot" she bought today, "What they said when they were in Cuilan City was a little untrue, just so we can see what their purpose is." ”

"Okay, then let them follow for now!" In fact, Song Chen still doesn't like the feeling of being followed, in that case, someone will be staring at everything, and he feels uncomfortable wanting to be intimate with Miaomiao.

On the second day, Su Miao and Song Chen took Xiaobai out to eat as usual, and then they bought and bought. When Su Miao and them were eating in the restaurant, they found that Duan Lianqing and the others had also followed their front and back feet into the private room on the second floor.

Right in the middle. When they were followed outside, because it was noisy, and Su Miao was in the light, and the other party was in the dark, it was difficult to hear what the other party was discussing (when outside, the other party might not discuss it), and when they went to the private room, everyone was separated by a wall and couldn't see each other, but relatively speaking, Su Miao and Song Chen, who had high internal strength and extraordinary ear power, naturally had more advantages.

It was extremely easy for Su Miao and Song Chen to get rid of Duan Lianqing, but they deliberately walked very slowly, just because they were worried that the other party would be too cautious and lose their tracks, and it was unprecedented for them to be followed so intimately.

After entering the private room, Song Chen was in charge of ordering food with the shopkeeper who followed up, and sent the other party away in three or two clicks.

And Su Miao was pouring tea while listening intently to the movements of Duan Lianqing's private room in that direction. At the time of the meal, there were a lot of people in the private room, Duan Lianqing and they didn't want to go to the private room next to Su Miao and them, there were about three private rooms between them, and it was still a little difficult to capture Duan Lianqing's voices in the voices of these people.
