Chapter 484: Enter the Fortress
The sound reached the place where the carriage stopped and became very small, but everyone present could still hear Wang Sancai's voice clearly.
Lin Qian heard the surprise in Wang Sancai's voice, and immediately couldn't help but smile: "What did you find?" Haha, did he find himself pulling out a lump of golden? ”
His ridicule caused everyone to laugh, but Li Yuannan frowned slightly and waved to the carriage: "Lin Qian, Zhang Xuan, go, follow me to have a look, and the others will continue to stay here." ”
Lin Qian suddenly pulled the person next to him to jump off the carriage, and while following behind Li Yuannan, he smiled at the others: "Brothers, wait, we will be rich when I come back!" ”
This sentence caused another burst of laughter, and Li Yuannan couldn't help but turn around and glare at him this time, and he quickly restrained his smile.
Soon, the three of them went around to the back of the hill, and they heard the sound of Wang Sancai greeting them along the way, and the three of them couldn't guess what was happening, but when they saw the stone pillar on the ground, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Wang Sancai saw the three of them dumbfounded, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't pay attention when I came just now, and I found this thing when I took off my pants, and just now I heard Sergeant Li say that His Majesty needs the stone pillar requirements, so I took a closer look and found that this stone pillar is about the same, and then I will call you, and it is up to Sergeant Li to decide whether it is qualified or not." ”
Li Yuannan was the first to come back to his senses, he glanced at Wang Sancai strangely, only he knew how special Wang Sancai was here, and this look was also asking if Wang Sancai's stone pillar was related to him.
Wang Sancai pretended not to see it. While holding his stomach, he hurriedly ran and said: "You guys look at it first, I haven't had time to solve it yet, I'll change places!" ”
Before anyone else could say anything, Wang Sancai had already covered his stomach and slipped away.
At this time, Lin Qian and Zhang Xuan also came back to their senses, ran to the stone pillar to look left and right, and soon, Lin Qian pointed to the upper, middle and lower sections of the stone pillar and said, "Sir." This pillar is quite strange. You see, the colors of these three rocks are a little different. ”
Li Yuannan found that this stone pillar seemed to be a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember why it was familiar, so he nodded. While carefully inspecting the stone pillar. He said lightly: "Hmm." Probably because of the different rock formations...... I don't know how this stone pillar landed here, it doesn't seem to be the same as the surrounding rock formations. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly straightened up: "Lin Qian." Now you go back and call all the rest of the people and all the stonemasons here, the thickness of this stone pillar is completely sufficient, look at this length, it can be used as two stone pillars, and ask the stonemasons to come and see if there is any problem with the stone. ”
"Yes, sir!" Lin Qian immediately straightened his back.
……
When Wang Sancai came back after pretending to be convenient, everyone had already gathered at the stone pillar, and Wang Sancai unfortunately didn't pull it out at all, but no one would check whether a person had excreted stool, so Wang Sancai was not worried about this.
He had already secretly sensed better, and when everyone came to the stone pillar, he hurried back from the other side.
Before he could get to the front, Wang Sancai heard a serious voice coming: "Master Li, this stone pillar is not simple!" ”
"Oh? Tell me, what's not easy? Li Yuannan's voice also came.
Wang Sancai walked over quietly, and saw everyone quietly gathered in a circle, the stonemasons were carefully observing the stone pillar, and Li Yuannan was standing in front of the stone pillar.
I heard one of the stonemasons say meaningfully: "First of all, the ground has been pressed out of the traces, you can see that this stone pillar has been placed here for a while, but the strange thing is that there is no dust on the stone pillar, don't you say strange?" ”
Li Yuannan frowned suddenly, and Wang Sancai, who came back next to him, also had a heartbeat, he forgot this detail!
If you want to say that you wiped it yourself, what kind of wiping is it used for? Even if you use your hands, you have to wash your hands, right?
Therefore, Wang Sancai could only frown and shrug his shoulders: "Indeed, the stone pillar was like this when I came." ”
Li Yuannan immediately glanced at Wang Sancai meaningfully.
However, the stonemason only paused for a moment, and then said: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that I found that the rock formation of this stone pillar is divided into multiple sections, which is very similar to the underground rock formation, sir, you see......"
Speaking of this, he pointed to one end and said, "The rock formation over there is getting darker, very much like deep underground, and from my judgment over the years, I guess there should be an active current near that rock formation." ”
As soon as the words fell, several other stonemasons immediately raised their heads and nodded repeatedly, and one of them also said: "Lao Wang is the most skilled stonemason among us, he will definitely not look away." ”
Others immediately chimed in.
This sentence reminded Li Yuannan at once, and he suddenly remembered that the well in his house was very consistent in terms of width, color of the stone, or simply length, no wonder there was always a familiar feeling when he saw it for the first time.
He immediately determined that this stone pillar must be related to Wang Sancai, but if it was really the one left by his own well, how did Wang Sancai transport it and put it here?
He didn't take the stone pillar with him when he left his house, and although he was very strange at the time, he still can't figure it out.
With such a large stone pillar, where can you hide it?
Subconsciously, Li Yuannan cast an inquiring glance at Wang Sancai, but what he saw was Wang Sancai's calm face.
Wang Sancai was very helpless, he looked at Lao Wang a few more times, and couldn't help thinking: Are you a stonemason or a geological surveyer?
However, Li Yuannan obviously didn't want to waste time here, he looked up at the sky, and said to Lao Wang: "You see if the stone of this stone pillar is okay, if it works, we will pull it away directly, this stone pillar can be cut into two, and it just so happens that there is another stone pillar in the fortress that is almost unusable." ”
The stonemasons nodded. Once again, he looked intently and carefully.
Li Yuannan couldn't help but look at Wang Sancai, always wanting to see some flaws in him, although he was not sure that this was the stone pillar left by his own well, but he always felt that he couldn't get rid of anything to do with Wang Sancai.
Soon, under the inspection of the stonemasons, this stone pillar was approved for use, so, according to Li Yuannan's request, this stone pillar was cut into two sections from the middle, when the stonemasons were busy. The other soldiers also rushed to the carriage.
Then things became much easier. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the stone pillar that was cut into two sections was placed on the carriage, and when the stone pillar was moved to the carriage, Wang Sancai and Li Yuannan walked in front. Ahead of them they are to be lifted into the wagon. The requirements for strength are relatively high. Others are in the middle and at the end.
When the stone pillar was lifted, Wang Sancai was still a little worried that he would be with Li Yuannan in front of him, and Li Yuannan would not be able to bear it. Unexpectedly, he lifted it easily, and even Wang Sancai didn't exert much strength.
Judging from this alone, Li Yuannan's strength is likely to have reached the concentrating period.
The weight of the two stone pillars is not light, but fortunately, the five horses selected are all strong, and after tying the stone pillars firmly, everyone is sweating profusely, and the key is that it becomes a bit difficult to drive with so many people on the carriage.
After Li Yuannan thought for a while, he ordered Wang Sancai to guard the carriage with him, Lin Qian, who had the best horse-riding skills, to act as the horseman, and the others returned on foot.
The soldiers naturally had no opinions, and Li Yuannan considered that the stonemasons would be dissatisfied, so he promised them that they would settle the wages separately.
So, Wang Sancai and the three of them rushed back to the fortress in advance, but Wang Sancai was still put on a hood.
When the carriage was stable, Wang San found that his hood had been taken off by Li Yuannan, he stared at himself, and suddenly whispered: "Thank you, I know it must have something to do with you." ”
When he said the second half of the sentence, Li Yuannan's eyes also fell on the stone pillar on the carriage, but he didn't mean to embarrass Wang Sancai, and after dropping this sentence, he began to beckon someone to lift the stone pillar down.
There were enough people in the fortress, and it didn't take much effort to carry it down, Li Yuannan went in to report, and soon came out to inform people to carry the two stone pillars in.
The key is that Wang Sancai was not qualified to enter the fortress, but Li Yuannan said: "I told Your Majesty that this stone pillar was discovered by you, and you should go in together, it seems that Your Majesty wants to reward you." ”
Wang Sancai gave him a grateful look, and when he walked up to him, he whispered, "Thank you." ”
Li Yuannan understood what he meant, and replied lightly with a smile: "It's nothing, the credit is yours." ”
Soon, Wang Sancai and the others carried the stone pillar into the fortress, and the others were panting under the pressure of the stone pillar, although Wang Sancai also pretended to be breathless, but his mind had already been placed elsewhere.
Entering the eye is a long corridor that is not too long, Wang Sancai glanced around, and found that the atmosphere inside seemed a little gloomy, without any decoration, and without too much furniture, the overall simplicity, the empty and tall roof beam also revealed a serious atmosphere.
The king and Huang Tian were waiting at the place where the stone pillar had collapsed, and along the way, Wang San found that the fortress was all small and compact rooms, and each room had a closed door, not knowing what items were stored in it or who was locked up.
Wang Sancai suddenly realized that there was actually a bit of a prison cell inside.
Just thinking about it, Wang Sancai found that he had come to the area of the damaged building, the walls of many rooms here have appeared to varying degrees of defects, and there are several rooms with seriously damaged walls, Wang Sancai can even see the inside of the room, but there is nothing in the room.
Not only are the walls of the room broken, but there are obvious cracks in the walls everywhere, and it is as if there has been an earthquake, but the building is still sturdy and has not collapsed.
Along the way, Wang Sancai also noticed that the stone pillars supporting the ceiling had different degrees of cracks, but they looked quite strong, and the cracks did not affect the main body of the stone pillars.
Just as he was observing, a rough voice came from not far away: "Ahaha, Huang Tian, look, they brought the stone pillar in, hahaha, you lost!" ”
Looking up at the sound, Wang Sancai found that there was a relatively empty hall in front of him, the king and Huang Tian were standing in the middle of the hall, and under their feet was a collapsed stone pillar, and there were already several cracks on the stone pillar next to them, the key is that there were still traces of damage on it, just in the middle of the stone pillar, a large piece was obviously missing!
