"Oh? Have other urgent matters? ”

"Back to the lord, Cheng Qian's side seems to have encountered some obstacles, and Jia still needs to keep an eye on it."

As Guo Jia spoke, Mo Xiaobai couldn't help but condense his eyebrows slightly.

Cheng Fatzi is deflated?

Unlike when he went to Jeju at the beginning, this time he set off with a full capital of two or three thousand gold. Under the strategy of opening the way with money, you can even get into trouble?

"Is it that the state capital and Cheng Qian can't get along, or are they going together?"

"It's both." Guo Jia replied simply, and then said with a smile: "Lord, please rest assured, this matter will be handled properly, and the gold mine is still the most important thing at the moment." ”

"Okay, Fengxiao, you stay in town, and I will keep in touch with you at any time."

With that, the two left the Baron's Mansion together.

Mo Xiaobai went to greet Li Ji to prepare his troops and horses, while Guo Jia continued to return to his post.

An hour!

More than 400 soldiers rushed to the square to stand by, although Li Ji himself also came, but he did not plan to accompany the army this time, but stayed behind.

In addition to Li Ji staying behind and He Chun being in charge of the security of the villagers, Huang Yan also stayed, not because Mo Xiaobai didn't take him, but because he recruited a group of new archers and was training at a critical juncture.

The rest of the Great Dream Town generals, including Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Li Guang, were all gathered on Mo Xiaobai's left side.

On Mo Xiaobai's right, there are Liu Ye and the alchemist Ke Ruisi, who was specially called. This time he is going to explore a gold mine, and Mo Xiaobai will not forget this Greek god who plays with precious metals every day.

All of the above are all vassals of Big Dream Town.

However, around Mo Xiaobai, there are two other faces, one is side by side with Liu Ye, and the other is behind Li Guang, it is Man Chong and Jin Qiang.

"All ready?"

"Let's go!"

As Mo Xiaobai gave the order in a low voice, the four hundred Dawan horses immediately lined up and set off, if the rest of the players in the plane saw it, they would definitely be able to drool in their eyes.

………

After two days of riding, under the guidance of a black-clothed guard, Mo Xiaobai, a team of 400 people, quietly came to the central mountainous area from the edge of the northern vein of Dangshan.

Hearing the sound of 'bang-la-la' in his ears, the anticipation on Mo Xiaobai's face couldn't help but be strong.

It's almost there!

After walking for a while, a waterfall was clearly visible.

At the edge of the waterfall, several tent camps are temporarily stationed, and the destination is even more clearly illustrated, and the destination is close at hand.

turned over and dismounted and walked on, and soon a team of black-clothed guards came out: "Deputy Cao Bin, deputy of the fifth brigade of the lowly black-clothed guards, see the lord." ”

"Well, what about your captain?"

"Captain, he took a few boys to fish downstream, and I asked them to come back." Team deputy Lisuo spoke, and after speaking, he was ready to let his men call people.

"No need, it's embarrassing for you, the barren mountains and wild forests, you have to fish and eat by yourself." Mo Xiaobai waved his hand to signal that Cao Bin didn't have to be so excited, and then said with a smile:

"Tell me about your experiences along the way."

"Yes!"

Cao Bin nodded when he heard this, and immediately talked about his search experience as the number twenty person.

First, according to the instructions of Mo Xiaobai and Guo Jia, they searched upstream along the river.

I searched all the way to the upper reaches of the waterfall, but I didn't find much information. I was thinking of going into the water to try it, but who would have thought that I really found that there was another hole in it.

"Although there is an element of luck, this is also inseparable from your hard work, the black-clothed guards are reliable, you have made great contributions yourself, and you have also given Fengxiao and Ziyang a long face."

Mo Xiaobai couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and after coming to the shore of the deep pool with Cao Bin and Liu Ye, he said, "How deep is it down here?" ”

"Back to the lord, the deepest part is no less than four feet."

Sizhang?

That's more than ten meters?

It's embarrassing.

How can you dive into such a deep pool?

Even if you dive, you can go to the cave behind the waterfall?

Mo Xiaobai scratched his head, his expression a little tangled.

First, he wanted to see it for himself, but secondly, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get in at all. It's not even just himself, four hundred soldiers are not four hundred divers, and I'm afraid there are not many who can hold underwater for a minute.

"It seems that we still have to find the right direction and dig a mine from the top down." Touching his chin and muttering, Mo Xiaobai turned his head to look at Liu Ye and quipped:

"Ziyang knows how to water?"

Compared with Mo Xiaobai's group of northland generals, Liu Ye, whose ancestral home is in the south, is the most likely little swimmer. But this time, Liu Ye shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Ye has never played in the water since he was a child, and he has never been in the water when he grew up. ”

"Forget it, let's set up camp first."

Mo Xiaobai knew that this matter was in a hurry, so he nodded and walked back. He took out the temporary heavy armor and some rice and flour food from the Sumeru bag, and asked his soldiers to make dinner by themselves.

Just when more than 400 soldiers began to burn firewood and make fires, burying pots and making rice, there were also seven or eight figures walking downstream.

Almost everyone has a catch, and it's all fish and shrimp from the river.

"Lin Yi, you take these first."

They also saw the camp in the distance, and the leader handed over the grass carp tied with thin thread in his hand to his subordinates, and immediately trotted forward and came to the bonfire where Mo Xiaobai, Li Guang and others were sitting:

"Humble Xue Gang, see the lord."

Mo Xiaobai looked at the wet middle-aged man in front of him, nodded and said, "Captain Xue, sit down and say something." ”

"Yes."

Xue Gang sat beside Zhang He, and as soon as his buttocks touched the ground, he said: "Lord, this exploration of the gold mine has been found, but diving from the waterhole is by no means a long-term strategy. ”

"Tell me about it." Mo Xiaobai was thinking about this question before, but now when he heard Xue Gang mention it, he immediately became interested.

"I have been to the cave, and there is a strange vine plant on the wall of the cave that grows from the ground, and keeps drilling up and down the crevices until it breaks through the ground and appears on the ground."

As Xue Gang spoke, he gestured with a wooden stick on the ground, and soon Mo Xiaobai and the others around him understood.

The vines stretched up from the ground down the cracks, and they could dig wells down the vines.

Because there are gaps in the body, it will be relatively easy to dig, and it will definitely be able to dig underground karst caves without too much deviation.

"I'll leave this matter to you."

Glancing at the surrounding generals, Mo Xiaobai stretched out his right index finger: "No matter how you dig, I only have one request, be sure to complete it as soon as possible." ”

Mo Xiaobai's request was not too much, Zhang He and Gao Ran nodded immediately, if it weren't for the tiring journey for two days, they would have wanted to call the soldiers to start working now.

After a night's rest, early in the morning of the second day, Zhang He left the camp with his men and Xue Gang.

Thanks to Xue Gang's sufficient preparations, two hundred soldiers worked together, and it only took one and a half days to successfully dig a spacious and safe mine.

Looking at the wellhead that was large enough to accommodate three people in parallel, Mo Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction:

"All the soldiers obey the order and go down the mine with me!"
