Chapter 160 Chu Zhao, the fourth prince didn’t offend you, right?
"Mom won't tell you anymore. Your father is still busy outside. Mom went to help."
After Chen Yunzhi finished speaking, he disappeared into the space.
outside space.
Tonight in Black Bear Ridge is destined to be another sleepless night.
One carriage after another carried people to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Chizhou County.
Because the gate of the county seat has been locked, the carriage needs to take a long way around, from outside the county seat to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.
It takes two and a half hours to go back and forth.
Fortunately, the bandits' village had robbed many horses and carriages, and they could remove many people at once.
After seven days on the water, the ship finally docked.
Su Wan mentally sensed someone approaching the cargo hold and quickly entered the space to call Su Jingnian out.
The brother and sister hid in the wooden box again.
Cursing sounds sounded outside the cargo hold.
"We finally arrived at Huai'an Mansion. If we don't get off the boat, I'm going to vomit."
"Hahaha, we have traveled this waterway so many times, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
"What are you getting used to? I'm still used to being on land, with my feet firmly planted on the ground."
"I hope there will be a different group of people on the next shipment."
Su Wan heard it in the box and thought there would never be a next time.
As the sound got closer, the cargo door opened.
A new round of unloading has begun.
The wheels of the carriage turned gurglingly, and Su Wan let go of her mental energy to observe the surrounding environment.
At this time, they were at a dock in the east of Huai'an Prefecture, and the carriage was heading out of the city.
Go to the suburbs east of the city.
The convoy finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.
There are rolling mountains nearby.
There is a dense jungle surrounding it, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Su Wan obviously discovered a few auras in the forest.
At first glance, he looks like a master hiding in the dark.
Su Wan thought these people would stop the carriage and carry things up the mountain.
Who would have thought that the leading bearded man walked to a dense bush and pushed aside the bush, revealing a hard stone wall.
The bearded man pressed the raised stone in the lower left corner of the stone wall, and the stone wall slowly rose from the bottom up.
It turned out to be a door.
The bearded man waved his hand, and the team headed towards the entrance of the cave.
Su Wan's mental power detected that the entrance of the cave stretched hundreds of meters forward, and then it suddenly became clear.
Inside is a huge natural cave, and inside the cave there is the sound of clanging iron.
There is a natural gap above the cave, through which light shines into the cave.
The cave is surrounded by human-made trails in all directions.
At the end of each trail is a dug cave.
The cave is filled with forged weapons, swords, shields, bows and arrows.
There are also trails that extend deeper, but Su Wan's mental power cannot detect them that far.
The carriage stopped in front of a natural cave.
There is a group of twenty or thirty soldiers taking charge here.
The soldiers guarding the gate stopped the convoy.
"open box to check."
This is a necessary process every time you go out. The bearded man waved his hand.
The men voluntarily lifted the oilcloth and opened the wooden box for the soldiers to inspect.
Su Wan and Su Jinnian took the opportunity to enter the space.
After inspecting the goods, the soldier took the portraits and inspected the bearded man and others one by one.
After burning incense, the soldiers finally let him go.
The carriage then entered the cave and came to an iron door.
The person in charge of guarding the iron gate opened the iron gate.
Behind the iron gate is a path for carriages to pass, with oil lamps placed on the walls on both sides of the path.
The carriage entered the trail, and at the end was a place dedicated to stacking iron ore.
Gululu.
Gululu.
Box after box of iron ore was dumped on the ground.
A quarter of an hour later, the iron ore was unloaded and the carriage left.
When the surrounding area became quiet, Su Wan and Su Jingnian came out of the space.
It was stuffy and hot inside the cave.
The two of them walked forward along the path and came to the iron gate.
There are people guarding the outside all the time, and you can't get out for the time being.
The brother and sister looked at each other and entered the space again.
"Sister, what should I do?"
Su Wan picked up the pen and paper stored on the shelf.
"Brother, let me draw the places that can be found in the cave first, and then we can discuss what to do next.
People outside can't keep watch all the time, there's always a break when the shift changes.
At that time, we will take the opportunity to unlock the door and get out.
Brother, just stay in space while I go out and draw a map. "
"I'll go out too. The metal elements around here are very strong. I can absorb them and take the opportunity to upgrade my abilities."
The brother and sister successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior.
On the other side, Chu Mingye and the other three were lost at the foot of the mountain.
That day, after Chu Mingye discovered the waterway used by people transporting iron ore, he mobilized nearby ships overnight.
Then he followed closely behind.
Everything goes well up front.
It's just that it was a bit difficult to get to the outskirts of the city.
There were a few auras of powerful martial arts masters in the mountains. Chu Mingye and others were afraid that they would scare the snake before the evidence was obtained, so they did not dare to get close.
So much so that he has been wandering outside the mountains and forests.
Chu Zhao: "Your Majesty, why don't you go down and lure those people away?"
Chu Mingye shook his head. His purpose of distracting people was too obvious, and he would scare off others.
Chu Mingye would not do this if he was not sure of taking down the person behind him in one fell swoop.
"Don't worry, let's go back to the city and think of other options. I'll send a letter to dad."
The three of them came to the inn in the city.
Chu Mingye wrote a letter to Duke Zhen Guo.
"Chu Zhao, who do you think is smuggling iron ore?"
In addition to complaining about his master, Chu Zhao also had time to do business.
He analyzed it carefully with an expressionless face.
"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture is the fourth prince. Could it be that he is the fourth prince?"
Chu Mingye frowned fiercely:
"Fourth Prince? How is it possible? Smuggling iron ore is a serious crime of rebellion. Is it possible that he wants to rebel?"
Chu Zhao pursed his lips and thought about it seriously:
"Huai'an Prefecture is the ancestral home of the Minister of War, and the Minister of War is a son of the fourth prince. Could he be the fourth prince?"
Chu Mingye frowned so hard that he could catch a fly.
He stared at Chu Zhao:
"Chu Zhao, the fourth prince didn't offend you, right? Every result of your analysis is aimed at him."
Chu Zhao shook his head seriously:
"I am not targeting the Fourth Prince. I am making a realistic analysis."
Chu Mingye rolled his eyes in his heart.
Fu's pragmatic approach clearly points to every conclusion pointing to the Fourth Prince.
wrong!
Chu Mingye's eyes suddenly focused and he pointed at the fourth prince!
Yes, these people are all related to the Fourth Prince. When something goes wrong, the first person the Emperor will suspect is the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince should not be so stupid.
Chu Mingye was not worried about anything else, but he was worried that his aunt would be implicated by the fourth prince.
My aunt's mental condition has become worse and worse in the past few years. If she is implicated by the fourth prince, my aunt may not be able to survive.
"No, I still have to send a letter to dad."
Su Wan drew the map of the cave and entered the space.
She now wanted to know where the path that could not be detected with her mental power led.
The two waited for a long time, and it was getting dark outside.
The sound of clanging iron slowly stopped.
The people who forged weapons went to rest, and the people who guarded the iron gate also went to rest.
Except for a group of soldiers who were always guarding the entrance of the cave, everyone else went to rest.
In the middle of the night, one after another snoring sounded in the cave.
Su Jinnian controlled the metal power to quietly open the lock on the iron door.
Two figures slipped out from behind the iron door and headed towards Su Wan's curious path.
