"Santai Mountain, halfway up the mountain on the south side, 75 zhang vertical height from the foot of the mountain, a military hoard, hidden in the bushes. The brick and stone wall, there are 12 barracks in the hoard, there are 4 guards in front of the door, and there are 2 secret posts in the north of the hoard......"

On the top of the hill opposite the Santai Mountain Army Hoard, Lu Hu held a pair of high-powered binoculars, observing the situation on the other side, while dictating the results of his observation to Shi Xiangui, the soldier in charge of recording.

In order to prevent the garrisons from being discovered by the survey camp, Yang Chaodong ordered people to restrict the scope of activities of the survey camp, and all places where military hoards were set up were forbidden to approach the camp under various names, and only allowed them to move on the surrounding mountains, with the principle of not approaching those military hoards.

What Yang Chaodong never expected was that the soldiers of the Survey Battalion had such a telescope in their hands as a weapon that transcended the times. Standing on the surrounding hills, it is difficult to see the buildings hidden in the trees on the opposite hill if you only look at them with the naked eye. But with a high-powered telescope, the situation is very different, in the lens of the telescope, the targets a few miles away are like a sand table placed in front of the soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion, and the barracks, soldiers, cofferdams, and so on are clearly visible.

"Damn, this Yang Yinglong has built so many military hoards, is he really trying to rebel?" Shi Xiangui muttered as he recorded. The topic of Yang Yinglong's possible rebellion is not a secret in Yucheng, and the soldiers of the Survey Battalion know a thing or two unless they are seriously lacking in heart.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Hu warned, "If Yang Yinglong's Tusi soldiers hear about it, they will kill people." ”

"Is it so ruthless?" Shi Xiangui stuck out his tongue, "Our Su Baihu is still in Banzhou City, he will be fine, right?" ”

Lu Hu said: "The more cautious we do, the safer Su Baihu will be, in case we show a flaw, it will affect Su Baihu." So, everyone be careful with me, don't let the toast soldiers become famous. ”

Soldier Wei Zhihong said with a smile: "Lu Xiaoqi, you can rest assured, those Tusi soldiers who accompanied us into the mountain, we are all like immortals, how dare we say irresponsible remarks." By the way, let me tell you something funny, the day before yesterday, a toast soldier secretly asked me, saying that our Su Baihu is such a high Taoist, can Xia lift to the sky. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, since Su Hao showed a small hand in front of Yang Chaodong and found a coal mine for him, from Yang Yinglong to the Tusi soldiers below, they all treated Su Hao as a profound immortal. Banzhou was originally a place that admired ghosts and gods, and Su Hao's ability to be an unpredictable prophet was enough to scare the locals.

The soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion were scouting Yang Yinglong's hiding place one by one in the mountains and wilderness of Banzhou, and at the Admiralty Inn in Banzhou City, Su Hao was not idle, he was presiding over a prayer event in a serious manner.

The data surveyed and mapped by the soldiers of the survey battalion in various places in Banzhou were all sent directly to Yucheng. Hao Tong would write the progress into ciphertext every day and send someone to Banzhou for Su Hao to see. These ciphertexts are all written with numerical symbols, like a book from heaven, and only Su Hao can decipher the meaning.

According to the ciphertext sent, Su Hao knew that the surveying and mapping work of the survey camp had ended, and the map information of the entire territory of Banzhou had been collected, and it was only waiting for the embroidery girls to embroider the final contour map on the white silk. Now that the matter has been done, there is no need for Su Hao to stay in Banzhou for a long time, he asked people to inform Yang Chaodong, saying that he can calculate the Dan sand mine promised before today, and let Yang Chaodong come to participate in person.

Infected by Chen Guanyu, Su Hao now has some understanding of the procedures of Taoist priests. He asked the innkeeper to drive away all the idlers, set up an altar in the courtyard, lit seven hundred and forty-nine candles, and made some pine branches, flags, paper horses, and other things, and then began to perform with great words.

"Take Luming Mountain as the origin, the black stone cliff as the gorge, to the Huaiyang Cave and condense into a hole, the dragon is ang and the tiger is ambushed, take the five-star gossip, and set the principle of life and ......"

Su Hao muttered a few upside-down spells that he had learned from Chen Guanyu before, held a few pieces of rune paper with some differential formulas written in his hand, bowed a few times to the sky, and then bowed a few times to the ground, and then raised the fire to ignite the rune paper, threw the rune paper into the air, and then stunned it gradually turned into ashes, that expression, like a fugue outside the world.

"Alright, extinguish the candle."

Su Hao had enough of the crazy smoking, and turned back to He Bencheng and Xiong Minyang, who were waiting on the side, and ordered. The two soldiers hurriedly took their peachwood swords and went to extinguish the candles lit around the courtyard one by one. In Banzhou, there are no high-end goods, and as soon as these low-quality candles are extinguished, billowing oil smoke comes out, which makes Su Hao want to cough.

"Master Su, how is it?" Yang Chaodong, who had been standing behind and watching, cautiously stepped forward and asked Su Hao.

Su Hao's eyebrows furrowed into a pimple, and he said: "The student is able to help Luan in the right way, and force out the underground Dansha Qi, and the location of this Dansha mine has been determined by the student." ”

"Really?" Yang Chaodong was overjoyed, he asked his subordinates to wait for Su Hao for more than a month like a guest of honor, waiting for Su Hao to finally find out the location of the Dan sand mine. Now that he heard Su Hao say that the location of the mineral deposits had been determined, how could he not be ecstatic.

However, the expression on Su Hao's face didn't seem so pleasant, which made Yang Chaodong a little surprised, and he asked, "Master Su, what's the difficulty in this?" ”

Su Hao nodded, sighed, and said, "Alas, it's all because the students are not good at learning, and when they were stargazing earlier, they diverged a little. There is a difference of a millimeter in the sky, and a thousand miles on the earth...... Now it's a little tricky. ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Chaodong asked.

Su Hao said: "The student said before that we have a Dan sand mine in Banzhou, but the students calculated according to the results of the apprentices' hope that this Dan sand mine ...... But it is not in Banshu. ”

"What!" Yang Chaodong's face is green, is it okay not to play people like this? If you had said that the Dansha mine was not in Banzhou, how could I have let your apprentices go around in Banzhou. Now that they should have turned all the money, but you said that there was no mine, isn't this a lie? On the ground in Banzhou, daring to deceive him Yang Chaodong is simply a sign of being tired.

"Su Tianshi, didn't you say that there is a Dan sand mine in Banzhou? If it is outside Banzhou, Yang also knows that there is a Dan sand mine in Sizhou Mansion, which has been mined for hundreds of years, and I still need Su Tianshi to teach me? Yang Chaodong said angrily.

Su Hao said apologetically: "General Yang, this matter is really the student's fault. However, the Dan sand mine that the students saw was definitely not something that had been mined before. The mine that the student said rubbed the edge of our Banzhou, but it was more than ten miles apart. Alas, if the Father had been around, there would have been no such mistakes. ”

"The difference is only a dozen miles?" Yang Chaodong was relieved, no matter how good the celestial master is, it shouldn't be a big mistake to fork more than ten miles from the celestial phenomenon. Banshu is surrounded by mountains, and if you travel more than ten miles in the mountains, maybe no one can touch it, and who cares if this place is located in Banshu. Besides, the Banzhou Yang clan is the most powerful toast in this area, even if he crosses the border for more than ten miles to rob other people's things, who will say anything?

"Where is the place that Su Tianshi said?" Yang Chaodong asked.

Su Hao pointed to the northwest direction with his hand and said: "Wuchuan County in Sinan Prefecture, leaning on this side of our Banzhou, there is a mountain like a dragon, and there are nine clear streams gathering at the bottom of the mountain, which is where the ore veins are located. ”

In the later generations of Wuchuan mercury mine, Su Hao had been there and knew the characteristics of the surrounding geographical environment. At this time, the purpose of expressing it in this language is to pretend to be a ghost. In fact, what kind of mountains are like dragons and the like, that is to say, the shape of the dragon itself cannot be explained, and when the time comes, he will be right, and Yang Chaodong will not be able to refute it.

"Haha, it's actually in Wuchuan, so it doesn't matter." Yang Chaodong said with a smile, "Sinan Tian's family, I have been married to my Yang family for generations, the things of the Tian family are the things of my Yang family, and we are not separated from each other." ”

"Really?" Su Hao pretended to be happy, and stroked his forehead with his hand and said: "This is very good, very good, I am really worried that I will not be able to fulfill the Haikou boasted to General Yang Shen." ”

It turned out that the two prefectures of Sinan and Sizhou in northeastern Guizhou were under the jurisdiction of Tian's Tusi in history. The Tian family and the Banzhou Yang family have taken care of each other for hundreds of years and have an extremely close relationship. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Tian family was weakened because it offended the imperial court, and although it still inherited the Tusi position in Sinan and Sizhou, its power was completely incomparable with that of the Banzhou Yang family. Yang Chaodong said that the things of the Tian and Yang families are not separated from each other, but it is not accurate, the real situation is: the things of the Tian family are indeed the Yang family, but the things of the Yang family are also the Yang family, and the Tian family does not want to get involved.

When Su Hao was in Yucheng, he had already heard about the Tian and Yang families, and at this time, this pretentiousness was just acting, and he already knew that Yang Chaodong would definitely not care about the attitude of the Tian family of Sinan Mansion.

"Master Su, now that this Dan placer mine has been found, when can we locate and mine it?" Yang Chaodong asked impatiently.

Su Hao said: "If it's just positioning, it's okay at any time." However, this Dansha mine will be mined for a long time in the future, so it is best to choose an auspicious time to set off, and in addition, before going out of the city, you need to worship the mine god to ensure the peace of a hundred years. ”

"This ...... When is auspicious? Yang Chaodong asked impatiently.

Su Hao pretended to pinch his fingers and calculated, and then said: "Congratulations to General Yang, the student has calculated, it will be a good day and auspicious tomorrow, and we can start tomorrow." ”

"Good!" Yang Chaodong said, he turned his head and shouted to Kong Gui, the captain of his own army: "Hurry up and make arrangements, let the people and horses of the General's Mansion be prepared tonight, and bring all the miners who can be found." Early in the morning, after Master Su worshipped, we will go to Wuchuan. ”
