Volume 5: The Case of the Five Kings Fighting for the Dragon Chapter 136: The Pit

After inspecting the dragon pattern stone carving, Duan Ming and the three of them said goodbye to Li Daaxe and decided to go to the pit where the dragon pattern stone carving was found.

When he left the Treasure Pavilion and looked at no one on the left and right, Xing Qianqiu said to Duan Ming in a deep voice: "Mr. Duan, should I arrange for someone to get the dragon pattern stone carving back to Beijing?" Although the defense of the Treasure Pavilion seems to be tight, it is separated, and there are still big loopholes. ”

"Never." Duan Ming hurriedly waved his hand: "This dragon pattern stone carving must not be sent back to the capital." ”

"Why?" Xing Qianqiu said suspiciously.

"Do you think, now the matter of the dragon pattern stone carving has been in an uproar, and it is because of this that a lot of dirty things have happened, if you get the dragon pattern stone carving back to the capital at this time, what do you think the five princes will think?" Duan Ming said.

"They will suspect that the previous things were done by His Majesty, and His Majesty wanted this dragon pattern stone carving!" As soon as Xing Qianqiu heard Duan Ming say this, he immediately understood.

"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "In this way, even if the five princes don't say anything, I'm afraid there will be a gap between them and His Majesty." ”

"That's right, in the hearts of the five princes, they may think: Your Majesty just said it directly if you want to get the dragon pattern stone carving, why do you want to do those things." Li Wan'er said: "They may even feel that His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to kill them. ”

"Exactly." Duan Ming nodded: "So, now we must put aside the relationship between Your Majesty and the dragon pattern stone carving." ”

"But if you want to say that, isn't this also a relationship?" Li Wan'er asked suspiciously.

"It's different." Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "I am the commander of the Spiegel Division, and Mr. Duan is the 'No. 1 lame sixth in the world' who was ordered to judge the case, so many things have happened here, and it is justified for us to come here to investigate." ”

"And." Duan Ming added: "From the beginning to the end, we only 'claimed' that we had come by order, but in fact we did not receive any clear will from His Majesty. ”

"In other words, if the end result is particularly bad, we actually have a last resort." Duan Ming sighed: "It's just that in that case, I'm afraid the two of us will become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the five princes." ”

"But fortunately, no matter how strong the five princes are, it is impossible for them to go to Linyang City to deal with me, let alone to go to the capital to deal with the old criminal." Duan Ming spread his hands: "And with the Immortal Sect at the bottom, five princes are nothing." After all, if there are more lice, you don't have to bite, and if you have more debts, you don't have to worry. ”

"Mr. Duan, you can see it quite openly." Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming with a smile.

"Stand out? What's the way to do it if it's not opened? Since I got on your thief ship, what tricks do I have if I don't drive? Duan Ming glared at Xing Qianqiu.

"Hee-hee." Seeing Duan Ming's performance, Li Wan'er covered her mouth and snickered: "Mr. Duan, look at the way you two love each other, otherwise I will give you Brother Xing." ”

"Don't, don't ......" Duan Ming waved his hand again and again: "You should take this scourge quickly." I just want to get rid of all this as soon as possible, and then go back to my little place to spend my days leisurely. ”

"Mr. Duan is really a master in the world, Wan'er admires him." Li Wan'er said.

As they spoke, several people were already approaching the vicinity of the mining area.

Although there was a lot of buzz in Cambrian, the mining area was not affected.

Although several princes fought for the dragon pattern stone carving, but they are not fools, ore is the lifeblood of a country's military and military, and the mining area of Cambrian City is the main source of mineral resources in Daqi.

Therefore, they are fighting for the sake of return, but they also understand that the foundation of the country must not be touched.

After showing the commander token of the Spiegel Division to the director of the Ordnance Division, Duan Ming and the three of them easily walked into the mining area.

"It's rare, since you came to Cambrian City, this is the only time your token is good." Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu and quipped.

"Hmph." Xing Qianqiu snorted coldly, did not speak, and walked vigilantly beside Li Wan'er.

After all, the danger in the mining area is high, and there will be rockfalls and the like from time to time, and it is easier for him to protect the other party by Li Wan'er's side.

Seeing this scene, Duan Ming touched the iron helmet on his head and shook his head with a smile.

Soon, under the leadership of a soldier from the Ordnance Division, Duan Ming and the three of them came to the secret cave.

Before, just hearing about it, Duan Ming and the three of them didn't feel anything, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, Rao is Duan Ming was a little surprised.

The cave is not large, only about 100 square meters, and many of the crimson flowers that bloom around it have withered, but even then you can see how gorgeous it once was.

And in the middle of this sea of flowers, there is a pond that is not so much a lake as a pond.

The water was not deep, just ankle-high, and in the middle of the pool was a small clearing with a half-meter-wide circular area that was supposed to be where the stones had been placed.

However, these were not enough to surprise Duan Ming and the three of them, what really surprised the three of them was that the top of this cave was actually covered with dark green moss.

These mosses radiate a beautiful light, and at first glance they look as dazzling as the stars.

"It's strange that I didn't have any of these last time I was here." The soldier from the Ordnance Division exclaimed, "This is also beautiful. ”

"Didn't you before?" Duan Ming looked at the soldiers of the Ordnance Division suspiciously.

"No, what's wrong?" The soldiers of the Ordnance Division were also puzzled.

"The growth cycle of this moss is usually around one to two months." Duan Ming looked at the soldiers: "When was the last time you came in?" ”

"Well, it should be when the stone was found, it's been more than twenty days." The soldier scratched his head and said, "After the stone was found, our director sealed this place and did not let anyone enter. ”

"It's been more than twenty days, so the moss should have been planted before you even came in." Duan Ming nodded: "But you didn't see it at the time, which means that these mosses haven't fully grown up at that time." ”

"Therefore, the time for these mosses to be planted should be between fifteen days and a month and a half." Duan Ming said: "Less than fifteen days, we should only see a small amount of fluorescent moss, and it won't be so lush. It's been more than a month and a half, and you should have seen a small amount of fluorescent moss last time you visited......"

"Dude." Speaking of this, Duan Ming looked at the soldiers again: "Except for the Ordnance Department and the miners, who else can come in here?" ”

"You guys." The soldier replied after a moment's thought.

"......" Duan Ming paused: "Except for us." ”

"Then there won't be." The soldier shook his head: "Taishou occasionally comes in to check on the mineral gathering, but no one else can come in. ”

"And how are our guards here?" Duan Ming pondered slightly.

"Not a single fly can fly in." The soldier swore solemnly: "We are heavily guarded for twelve hours. ”

"I see." Duan Ming's gaze carefully observed the surrounding situation: "If that's the case, when did this stone come in?" ”
