When Tang Yu and the others rushed into the house, Lin Fanghe was sitting alone at the table, staring at a blank page of paper on the table, looking at it in a daze.

"Lord Lin, are you looking for us?" Bypassing the wooden table, Tang Yu and Xiang Jincheng came to Lin Fanghe's side.

The two looked down, only to see a handful of reddish-brown dirt and two black shrapnel on the spread paper.

Lin Fanghe stretched his waist, rubbed his palms, and asked, "Is it all arranged outside?" Xiang Jincheng rubbed his eyes, because he stayed up late yesterday, and there was a slight bloodshot on it. He replied: "At the main intersection outside the village, there are people who take turns in three shifts to guard the sentry. In the village, we also organized people to install bows and crossbows, ambush medicine arrows, and spread nets. If the Fuso people dare to come to seek revenge, discipline him and never return!"

Tang Yu asked with concern, "My lord, haven't you slept all night?"

"I can't sleep, I've been thinking about the ninja who killed himself. Lin Fanghe involuntarily moved his body on the chair and said: "They flickered and flickered, and their actions were agile, since they disappeared in the capital and withdrew from people's sight, they seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace." Unexpected, but hidden here......

"My lord, how can you be sure that dwarf must be from Dongying?" Xiang Jincheng was slightly suspicious.

Lin Fanghe's eyes flashed with a hint of caution and wisdom, and he smiled and said: "First of all, his way of committing suicide is quite strange, and it is very similar to the method introduced by Funayama Fumikoshi, the envoy of the Fuso Kanhe Trade Mission, who took poison and died when he was captured?

Tang Yu recalled: "That's really the case. ”

Lin Fanghe leaned down, picked up a black shrapnel from the table, put it in his hand, and pondered: "There is also that half-human and half-bird monster who was injured and escaped, and the outfit is obviously not our Middle-earthers. But what's strange is how he could have the incomparably powerful Fire Cloud Thunderbolt Bomb of Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall in his hand?"

"Firecloud thunderbolts. ”

"This thunderbolt is the treasure of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, which was successfully developed by the twenty-eighth generation of Thor-Sha Zhentian. Instead of the previous rough and bulky, a refined black powder was specially added, the internal structure was restructured, the shape of the projectile body was changed, and it could even be made into various flowers or fruits, which was vivid. Not only is it small and beautiful, easy to carry, but it can also delay the explosion ......"

Xiang Jincheng was fascinated by what he heard, and unconsciously came over: "Master Lin, tell us, what is a delayed explosion?"

"Delay is timing. Lin Fanghe said, "For example, if you put it here, as long as you adjust the special pointer on it, after the person leaves, this kind of thunderbolt can automatically explode after one or two hours." ”

"Oh my God, it's amazing!" Xiang Jincheng stuck out his tongue.

Tang Yu was also amazed and said, "Could it be that these Fusang people bought it from the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, or that this hall master, Thunder God Zhentian, colluded with them to cause the Fire Cloud Thunderbolt to flow out?"

"It's unlikely. Although this thunder god Earthquake is extremely endowed and intelligent by nature, he is arrogant and thinks very highly of himself, so it is impossible for him to befriend the barbarians of the island country?"

"It's weird. ”

Lin Fanghe put back the shrapnel, leaned his head on the chair, looked at the two subordinates, and saw that Tang Yu's eyes were black, so he said, "You two change shifts and take turns to sleep for a while." It's been too long, and no one can hold on......"

"There's something in my heart, and I can't sleep even when I lie down. Xiang Jincheng didn't wait for Lord Lin to finish speaking, then interrupted him, "Let's continue to discuss the case." You just said that those ninjas are hiding here, but here is a radius of hundreds of miles, with dense forests and mountains, where can we find them?"

Lin Fanghe lowered his head, pulled over the white paper, pointed to it, and said calmly: "It will tell us the answer." ”

Xiang Jincheng hooked his head and looked at it: "Isn't this just a twist of soil?"

"yes. ”

"A little bit of dirt can also tell us the whereabouts of the Fuso ninja, don't you kid?"

"You've been with me for a few days, and you've dealt with each other, when did you see me laughing casually on business?"

Xiang Jincheng thought about it for a while, and it was true: "That's not true." ”

Tang Yu felt novel, although he didn't speak, but he realized in his heart that this seemingly ordinary piece of soil must have hidden a strange secret, but he and Xiang Jincheng were short-sighted and had no way to understand it. He nodded and asked cautiously, "Lord Lin, is there anything strange about this soil?"

"Don't you pay attention to the fact that along the way, the people we come into contact with, except for the ** mountain rocks, are this boundless loess. Lin Fanghe reached out and played with the small handful of soil with his slender fingers, and asked, "Look again, what color is this soil?"

Tang Yu glanced at it and suddenly realized: "It's red!"

"Yes, it's russet. ”

"But here, the mountains are full of loess?"

Lin Fanghe flicked the dust off his fingernails and continued: "If you take it out to the sun, after careful identification, you can also find some extremely tiny yellow particles in the soil, I guess it may be some special minerals. That is, the red dirt may have been taken from the ground?"

"Underground?"

"Most of the people who dig for the deposits have to dig a deep shaft, and when they find useful ore, they have to go down and mine them in large quantities. The ore was brought up basket by basket by winch truck. Screened again. Over time, around every mine, there will be a lot of this discarded ore piled up......"

Xiang Jincheng was happy to hear this, and hurriedly said: "You mean, as long as you find the distribution area of this red mineral soil, it is very likely to ...... Hey, isn't that right?"

Lin Fanghe smiled: "What's wrong." ”

"My lord, this is yours anymore. Xiang Jincheng was impatient and speechless: "Let's talk about it for a while, you haven't told us, where did you find these precious red clay?"

Lin Fanghe was silent for a moment, and then said, "The soles of the deceased's shoes." ”

"The deceased, the little dwarf who pretended to be a ghost and a werewolf last night?"

"What do you say?"

Xiang Jincheng patted his thigh, and his face was happy: "It's easy to do if you have clues, let's immediately find a few local villagers and ask where there are mining areas and mining caves near this mountain.

"No, don't say anything beforehand. ”

"Why?" Xiang Jincheng didn't understand.

Lin Fanghe ignored it and said: "When I came, I consulted the map and related materials in the National History Museum, and after crossing the mountain behind Sanyizhuang, I walked all the way to the northeast, passing through two valleys, and there was a place called 'Banta'. In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, a copper mine was produced here. At the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, some greedy small kiln owners secretly entered the mountain and excavated without authorization, and because of the poor safety facilities, more than 20 people died at one time, so they were banned by the government......"

"And now?"

"I don't know, it's probably been abandoned for a long time. ”

"This mountain is high and far away, and it is suitable for hiding dirt and dirt. When Xiang Jincheng heard this, he was overjoyed: "Let's rush over and find out what is going on!" I dare to guarantee that those sneaky, sneak attacks, and undeclared war Dongying Wokou are hiding here?"

Lin Fanghe wiped his face with his hand, yawned again, looked very tired, and said, "Oh, I don't care about you, I can't afford to toss anyway." Now I don't want to think about anything, leave everything behind, quickly find a place to lie down, and go to sleep right away......"
