The Qingyu Mine Cave is located in the heart of the desert, a place called Jinchuan Valley, about a hundred miles away from the blue jade town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Such a short distance, with Li Dao's ability to fly, he can reach it without tea, but he doesn't know how to go, the desert is boundless, the direction is difficult to distinguish, if no one leads, even if Li Dao has the ability to fly, he will be at a loss, which is why Li Dao first heard about Xingyue Lake, and he had to follow Brother Nayang slowly.

had to endure the sense of urgency in his heart and let Qin Biao arrange a carriage to take him away.

Speechless all the way, Rao is carriage is a gallop of two horses, and it still took half a day to arrive, at this time it was already sunset, and Li Dao was already very impatient.

The name of the Jinchuan Valley sounds quite imposing, but it is actually a canyon made of almost sandy bald rock, which is no different from the outside, it is all yellow sand, barren, and there is not a trace of green to be seen.

Originally, it was a wild place that no one cared about, but a few years ago, a farmer who planted sand onions here lost a goat, so he entered this place by chance and accidentally discovered the green jade mine.

Later, the king of Qin learned about it, so it was reported to the imperial court, and tens of thousands of people, including troops, craftsmen, and slaves, were stationed here, so it became famous and began to be populated.

As soon as Li Dao approached the entrance of the canyon with the soldiers who were driving the car, he saw the soldiers on duty at the entrance, as well as two arrow towers, several military facilities such as horse rejection, which looked heavily guarded.

Through the entrance of the canyon, you can vaguely see the endless military camps in the canyon, and the tens of thousands of soldiers responsible for guarding the Qingyu Mine Cave are all stationed here.

At this time, the carriage entered the warning range, and the soldiers on the arrow tower immediately raised the longbow in their hands, and a soldier in charge of guarding the entrance to the canyon at the horse rejection office immediately came with a spear and shouted vigilantly: "Password!"

The soldier who was driving the car suddenly had a hesitant face, but he reluctantly said: "King Qin"

"Mighty!"

The soldier with the spear replied.

Since the password was right, he also let down his vigilance, knowing that it was his own person, so he said a little embarrassed: "The carriage that this brother is riding in belongs to the Logistics Department, and I think it is Captain Qin's person, but the supply time has not yet arrived, I don't know what you are doing here? Brother, I was also responsible just now, please don't be surprised." ”

The soldier's face softened slightly, he was a member of the Logistics Department, and it was the most oily place in the army here, and he was used to being flattered wherever he went.

But he knew what the other party's responsibilities were, and he indirectly made amends just now, so he didn't care, after all, they were all colleagues, and it was not good for each other to get stiff, so he also went down the stairs and said: "This time, I am ordered by Captain Qin to send Lord Li here, and I also ask my brother to inform General Wang to come to greet him, this Lord is a person in King Qin's mansion, and his status is noble, so he can't be neglected!"

When the soldier heard this, he glanced at the carriage and was slightly surprised, but he did not dare to delay, and with a slight bow, he hurried away. Li Dao didn't wait too long, and in less than half a cup of tea, more than a dozen generals wearing armor appeared at the entrance of the canyon, heading towards Li Dao's carriage.

One of the more than ten people is a middle-aged man, he is wearing a cyan general's battle armor, a red cloak on his back, a beard, and a giant sword across his waist.

At a glance, it is clear that this person is the core figure of this group of generals.

Li Dao got out of the carriage at this time and asked the visitor, "Who is General Wang?"

The middle-aged man with a beard glanced at him, and said with a rough smile: "This is Lord Li, His Royal Highness the King of Qin sent a message to me more than ten days ago, saying that Your Excellency will arrive here on business soon, and I want to wait for a good student to cooperate." It's just that these days, I have repeatedly sent people to look out not far from the canyon, but I have never seen the arrival of the adults, and I have also sent people to Lanyu Town to inquire about Captain Qin, but there is no news, which makes the general so anxious, and I think something happened to the adults!"

Li Dao saw that this person had a bold personality and spoke uprightly, so he had a little good feeling in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "It made the general wait for a long time, Li had some personal matters to deal with before, so he was delayed, I am quite ashamed, don't blame the general!"

General Wang didn't care, and took Li Dao's hand very affectionately and said, "Your Excellency has come all the way, you must be tired, and follow me in to drink a few glasses of water and wine, so that you can catch the wind and wash the dust for your lordship." ”

Li Dao also needed to rely on the general to describe some things in detail in the mine, so it was inconvenient to refuse, so he followed the hospitable general into the canyon, and the carriage and soldiers were naturally arranged to entertain them, and there was no need for Li Dao to order them.

As soon as he entered the canyon, Li Dao let go of his divine sense and looked around, this canyon is surrounded by rocks on all sides, endless, about a hundred miles in range, quite wide, but its shape is a little strange, similar to a gourd shape.

From the entrance of this canyon, the terrain is relatively low and narrow, but the further you go, the wider it becomes, and there is actually a river about dozens of miles from the entrance, and the river rushes and divides the whole canyon into two halves.

This surprised Li Dao that there was such a Ming River in this desert.

It's probably because of this river that these tens of thousands of troops can survive here, Li Dao thought silently.

Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Hukou, that is, on this side of the river, and the tents stretched for dozens of miles, but they did not see any mines, not even mining tools.

Li Dao guessed in his heart that this Hukou was probably specially for the army to be stationed, and the real mining area was actually on the other side of the river, but the distance was too far away, and his divine sense was a little powerless, and he could only vaguely feel some outlines, and the real situation could only be known when he arrived at that place.

Li Dao walked into the canyon with General Wang, and after half a pillar of incense, he came to a large cowhide tent, the desert weather was originally very hot, but when he stepped into the tent, he felt a burst of coolness, Li Dao fixed his eyes, it turned out that the tent was full of ice basins everywhere, and he couldn't help but feel extremely emotional, these people would really enjoy it.

With so many ice basins in the desert, this luxury requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

The interior of the tent is quite luxuriously decorated, with a red wool carpet on the floor, tables and chairs, and some bookshelves, which are no different from ordinary houses, and it seems that this is the tooth tent of General Wang.

"Lord Li came from Qinzhou, the wind and dust must have been hard all the way, the conditions here are poor, please don't be surprised. ”

General Wang said to Li Dao apologetically, he knew that Li Dao was a person from the Qin Palace, and he was used to brocade clothes and jade food, so he was afraid that he would not be used to being here, so he was extremely flattering.

Li Dao is actually very impatient in his heart, he is a monk, he is not particular about this material enjoyment, and he wants to go down to the green jade mine cave immediately to find out, but he has to be polite with this general Wang, people are good, since he has a request for him, he can only greet him patiently, and said with a smile: "The general is too worried, Li has come here to receive the general's hospitality, he is already grateful, where is there any dissatisfaction, but this time he was ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to investigate the wounded monsters in the cave, and asked the general to arrange it as soon as possible." ”

General Wang saw that Li Dao was not dissatisfied, and a stone fell in his heart, and he felt that Li Dao was approachable, so he felt a little more close in his heart, and laughed and said: "My lord, rest assured, I also have a headache in this matter, and I have long hoped that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will send someone here to solve it, but my lord does not have to be anxious for a while, wait for the wine and food to come up, I will talk while drinking, and I will inform my lord of some taboos." ”

Li Dao was helpless, so he had to be hospitable.

After a while, the soldiers sent delicious wine and food, General Wang and a group of lieutenants deliberately flattered Li Dao, toasted one after another, and drank for three rounds, but did not mention the matter of going to the mine.

It's just that he is a monk, and no matter how much wine he drinks, he can't get drunk, but he shocked this group of people, knowing that Li Dao's ability is not small, and he suddenly didn't dare to covet it.

Seeing that Li Dao's face was uncertain, General Wang hurriedly put down the wine cup and apologized: "Don't be surprised, my lord, I didn't deliberately delay, but it was purely helpless, the monster in the cave is not trivial, ordinary people can't go down at all, and there are hundreds of soldiers who have been killed by that monster so far, and I hate it very much in my heart, and my heart is a hundred times more anxious than that of adults." The identity of the adult is noble, it is the person trusted by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the subordinates dare not let the adult go down at will, if something happens, His Royal Highness the King of Qin will blame it, and the small one can't afford it, so he has been delaying and testing the adult with wine. If the adults didn't even have this amount of alcohol, they would rather offend the adults than send the gifts back, but now it seems that the adults' cultivation is unfathomable, but they will be too worried, and I ask the adults to forgive their sins!"

When Li Dao heard this, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated, it turned out to be like this, no wonder this General Wang was delaying left and right, this person seemed to be reckless, but in fact he was careful, it turned out that he was testing himself.

However, being teased by a mortal like this, even if he learned the reason, Li Dao still felt a little guilty in his heart, and his face turned dark and snorted coldly: "Then the general has tried enough now, I don't know when he will be able to take me there!"

Seeing that Li Daozhen was angry, General Wang couldn't help but panic in his heart, and said a little nervously: "Don't be angry, my lord, let me introduce the situation in the cave, and then lead the adults to go." ”

Li Dao's face softened at this time, and motioned for him to explain in detail.

General Wang told Li Dao all the distribution, topography, and some strange things that happened in the mine, and asked Li Dao to think carefully before going forward, and not to be careless.

Li Dao smiled slightly at this moment, and he was confident in his heart, in fact, he had always been suspicious of the hurting monster in the cave, but now listening to the general's narration, he was nine percent sure that it was what he guessed.
