Being hunted down as soon as you pass through

Poisonous Water River, as the name suggests, is not a good place.

But anyone who has just walked to this place, no one will think about the word "poison" - the trees here are dense and lush, and the river is clear and flowing slowly. If there are only these "dead things", it will inevitably make people suspicious. , However, there are faint insects in the dense forest, and small white fish live in the river, which is also full of vitality.

Lingyun City is located in the northwest, close to the desert, and surrounded by such lush and vibrant oases.

This place was not originally a place to enjoy the scenery. It used to be just a small town, and its daily water was entirely dependent on the clear spring on the mountain and a river called "Yunliu" in the south.Everyone said that the root of Lingyun City is the Li family and merchants, but Lingyun Mountain and Yunliu are the real source of survival of Lingyun City.

Whether it is the gardens in the city that can be seen today, or the forests around the city, they have been cultivated gradually over the past hundred years. In terms of lushness and prosperity, they are far inferior to the "Poisonous Water River" on the edge of the Gobi. .

But such an oasis that can surprise travelers who have just left the Gobi has become a "poisonous water river" that has ruined the lives of many travelers-there are lush trees and fish growing in the water, and all the scenery is not suspicious. Who would have thought that if he drank only a few sips of river water, he would die.

A journey of thirty miles would take less than a quarter of an hour at a fast pace.At this time, the group of people saw the "poisonous water river" from a distance, so they stopped their horses one after another.

Lin Changhong first said: "This place is irrigated with poisonous water, and every plant and tree is highly poisonous. If a horse goes forward, it will inevitably eat it by mistake."

Fu Changge naturally knew the situation of the Poisonous Water River, not to mention he was thinking about other things, so he didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Xia Minghe's reaction was not small. He hugged Liang Ye's horse's head and said, "Ah, Liang Ye, Liang Ye, you have to be good, and don't let someone poison you."

Everyone got off their horses one after another, Lin Changhong left a few guards waiting here to watch the horses, and the rest walked towards the river together.

Li Han naturally turned over and got off the horse. He lightly lifted his legs and exerted a little force, and jumped off the horse as soon as he turned around—and in the eyes of Fu Changge, this move was not just a simple action.

What Lin Changhong said before surprised Fu Changge. He thought to himself, since Li Han already knew where the ore veins extend to... But Fu Changge immediately realized that Li Han must not know the specific location , otherwise there is no need to make unwarranted deals with yourself.A small loss is a thousand miles away, and the time difference is a little bit, and the cost in the middle is immeasurable.

But from Feixiaoling to today's iron mine, Li Han's actions have exceeded Fu Changge's expectations in every way.Therefore, Fu Changge didn't care about it at this time, so he observed Li Han blatantly without worrying about whether he would be discovered. In other words, Fu Changge knew that as long as he behaved slightly differently, he would definitely be discovered.

Although Li Han was still holding the rein, when he got off the horse, the force on the rein was obviously insufficient, but the stirrup was under a lot of force—although his movements were no different from others, the force on the rope was the same as that of others. No matter how good the disguise is, it will inevitably show clues.

Fu Changge thought of this, and then recalled Li Han's posture on the horse along the way—his body was slightly lower than ordinary people's. Whenever he turned and controlled the horse, he not only pulled the rein, but also lightly pinched the horse with his legs. He used his stomach to control the horse, and the movements of his legs were almost faster than his hands.

"But it doesn't really explain anything..." Fu Changge frowned, "With Li Han's sensitivity..." Many rumors about Li Han suddenly popped up in Fu Changge's mind, most of which were from later generations.

Thinking of this, Fu Changge suddenly realized that he had been judging Li Han based on the rumors and records in Lingyun City.But he should have discovered earlier that those rumors were unreliable. After all, it was such a big deal that Li Han pretended to be a half-mute, but he was not regarded as good gossip material by later storytellers.

Obviously there is some secret about Li Han who is about to be revealed, but Fu Changge is stuck here, and he has no clue for a while.Thinking of this, Fu Changge finally shook his head, and followed the crowd to the river.

A few people came through the grass and woods, and before they reached the river, they saw the leading guard stopped, and after a while, another guard came back trotting.

"City lord, two corpses were found ahead...Look at their clothes, they are the guards of the city."

After hearing this, Lin Changhong jumped to the edge of the lake before waiting for Li Han's order.

Li Han's expression didn't change, he just followed Lin Changhong and walked towards the lake together.

A few people walked to the lake, and they saw two corpses lying on the front beach. They were the city guards in Lingyun City.

Li Han took two steps forward, looked down at the corpse, and then made a series of gestures to Lin Changhong behind him. Lin Changhong saw it, and said to Fu Changge: "In order to prevent people from drinking the river water by mistake, there is always a city beside the poisonous water river." The guard is guarding the city. At this time the city guard is dead, presumably the news of this mine has leaked out, and maybe it has been discovered by members of the Helian family."

"Based on the terrain, the city lord speculated that the poisonous water river should be above the extension of the ore veins, and the toxins in the water should also be related to it. But they sent people to dig holes around the water source and the river channel, but they didn't get any results, so they gave up. Everyone in the city knows about it." Lin Changhong said this in a blunt manner, but Li Han glanced at Lin Changhong lightly when he heard the words, thinking that he didn't intend to do so, but he didn't stop him at this time.

Fu Changge smiled lightly and said, "If City Lord Li is exploring along the river, it is normal to not find it. This ore vein does not extend to the Poisonous Water River. There is an undercurrent in the Poisonous Water River, and the source of the undercurrent is connected to the ore vein. This poisonous water The river has gone through many years, and a lot of poisons have accumulated in the water, so it is impossible for people to go down to the river to investigate that day, so there is no way to know about the underground river."

When Fu Changge said this, he paused for a while, seeing that there was no other reaction from the crowd, he said directly: "The place where the undercurrent flows into the Poisonous Water River is about five feet away from the water source. Thirty feet away, dig a well straight down, and when you dig to about three feet, you can see red jade, and you should get something below that."

Fu Changge said these words so clearly, everyone reacted for a while, and then Lin Changhong sent several guards to go to the place Fu Changge said, and the strange thing was that Xia Minghe followed.

The equipment of the several guards is quite complete, but the source of the river is not close, not to mention going out for more than a mile, digging holes, even if it is just to check, it will always take time.

Li Han didn't signal, neither Lin Changhong nor the guards would say anything more, Fu Changge knew the specific situation, and knew that there was no rush.Everyone stood there and waited.And besides waiting, they didn't do anything, and the guards didn't even step forward to drag the two corpses away.

After more than half an hour, a guard rushed from the northeast.Before the guards approached, Fu Changge discovered that several guards who had been standing still were silently moving towards the bushes following the sound of footsteps from far to near.

"City Master, I found it. I have seen Chiyu, and I am continuing to dig down."

Before the guard finished speaking, Fu Changge squinted his eyes, only to see a few birds flying in the bushes suddenly.

Li Han nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, the two "corpses" on the ground suddenly moved.
