Chapter 214 Cliff Cave
Eight years ago, the gentry surnamed Wang in Yizhou traded grain and grass with the Huang family in Yangzhou. In order to escort 3000 million stones of grain and grass, they invested [-] merchant ships. There are a total of [-] guards in the family's private army.

However, when the merchant ships passed through Wu County, a huge wave suddenly rose on the river, instantly engulfing some small boats. There were inexplicably large holes in the floors of more than [-] merchant ships escorting food and grass, and river water poured into the cabins instantly.

The commander-in-chief of the private army thought that someone was digging a boat, and immediately ordered the soldiers to go into the water to defend against the enemy, but at the same time as the first batch of 3000 people jumped into the water, countless eddies suddenly swirled on the surface of the river, engulfing these people.

The commander continued to send people, but this time only 300 people were sent to check the situation, but the result was the same, they were swallowed by the vortex.

The commander-in-chief also realized that something was wrong, and ordered to approach the shore immediately. After all, the food and grass on board were the key.

But before the general order was communicated, the main ship suddenly fell, as if being pulled by some giant, and fell towards the bottom of the water.

There was almost no suspense. The entire main ship was dragged into the bottom of the water and disappeared from then on. Along with these merchant ships, the first batch of gold used by Huang's transaction was 15.

It was this incident that the gentry surnamed Wang lost nearly 2000 million shi of food and grass, and as many as [-] soldiers and horses.

The second incident happened in a small village with only about forty households.

But they suddenly suffered a catastrophe three years ago. A total of more than two hundred people were wiped out overnight, and no one was left behind.

This matter attracted the attention of the county magistrate of Wu County, who sent troops to check, but there was not even blood on the ground, let alone bones, as if it had evaporated overnight, without any clues.

At that time, the governor of Jingzhou was Wang Min, and it was also at the time when Zhao Ci rebelled against Han and killed Nanyang prefect Qin Jie to stand on his own. It was the year when Wu Ming crossed.

Wu Ming glanced at the Yangtze River, frowned and said: "It's evil, quickly send someone to tell Li Xiao not to let the soldiers into the water."

Dian Wei turned around and left, called soldiers to give orders, and then returned to Wu Ming's side.

Wu Ming said: "The middle part of the Yangtze River in Wu County is about 40 meters deep. The Wang family's merchant ships are huge. They must be sailing close to the middle. It is possible that the sunken ships will gather there, and there may be underwater turbulence. If you send people into the water, nothing will happen. Fortunately, if something goes wrong, it is equivalent to losing your life for nothing."

Dian Wei nodded and said, "Then what should we do next?"

Wu Ming said: "Go to the village at the foot of the mountain, maybe you can find something."

Soon, Wu Ming, led by the guards, came to the village at the foot of Wushan Mountain, which was deserted. Obviously, after that incident, no one dared to live there anymore.

Pushing open a door, the tables and chairs inside are still intact, but covered with dust and cobwebs.

Wu Ming waved his hand, pointed to an overturned table and said, "Many things have fallen down. It seems that the people here have struggled."

Dian Wei glanced twice, and suddenly saw a stool broken in two, and the legs of the chair were also scattered on the ground.

Slowly picked up the chair legs, and said: "The breaks of the chair legs are uneven, it doesn't look like it was broken by humans, but it seems to be broken by something rolling over."

Wu Ming looked it over carefully, and found two very thin lines on the chair leg. An idea popped up in his heart, and his joy flashed.

These two thin lines are very neat, a bit like being cut by a knife, but Wu Ming has other ideas, that is dragon scales!
The dragon scale was clasped on Jiaolong's body, and it was likely that it scratched the leg of the chair when it was walking. These two marks are the evidence.

Wu Ming said suddenly: "Send people to split up. Some people will go back to Wushan to look for such small traces on the trees in Wushan. Some people will search in the village. If you find anything, please notify me immediately."

Dian Wei cupped his fists: "No!"

After he left, Wu Ming continued to look around the room, but found nothing, and walked out.

Soon Dian Wei came back and said: "My lord, I have searched more than forty private houses, and there are indeed many small traces in many places. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all."

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I have an idea, did the brothers from Wushan send someone to reply?"

Dian Wei shook his head and said: "It seems that the search is still going on. After all, it is a huge mountain several thousand meters away. It is difficult to get results in a short time."

Wu Ming hummed, and left the village with Dianwei, and went up the mountain again not long after.

"Report..."

Suddenly a fast horse galloped towards him. When it reached Wu Ming, he turned over and dismounted.

"Reporting to the general, many small traces were found on the trees in Wushan, which were very neat. Moreover, where these fine lines were concentrated, many broken dead leaves were also found, as if they had been crushed by something heavy. generally."

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Okay, tell the brothers to retreat down the mountain, and take me up to have a look."

The detective was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Don't search anymore?"

Dian Wei frowned and said, "Follow your orders!"

"promise!"

The Tanma agreed, but immediately hesitated.

Wu Ming asked suspiciously, "Did you discover something? It's okay, you can tell it."

The Tanma said respectfully: "The brothers on the mountain discovered the thin lines on the trees and quickly figured out the pattern. There is a route from the Yangtze River to the top of the mountain, densely covered with such thin lines. The deputy commander followed this route , discovered an extremely hidden cave on the top of the mountain, and they have already gone down to search..."

"cave?!"

Wu Ming's expression changed greatly, and he turned around and said, "It's very possible that the deputy general discovered the nest of the alien beast. No, we can't let them go deep, because no one knows whether there will be other alien beasts living in the cave!"

Dian Wei also realized this point, he brought out all the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion, all of them are like brothers, if it is reasonable to die in battle, don't die in Wushan for no reason.

"My lord, please give me an order."

Wu Ming gave him a hand, and cursed: "What order are you giving, go quickly to find that cave, and bring them all up!!"

Following the urgency of the matter, Dian Wei also put down his etiquette and followed Wu Ming's footsteps towards the top of the mountain.

Time was passing by slowly, the group of soldiers had been going down to the cave for some time, but no one came up to report safety now.

Wu Ming pointed to a dark cliff cave and said, "The cave you're talking about is the one on the cliff?"

The Tanma said respectfully: "Exactly, but this cave doesn't seem to be formed naturally, there are two artificially dug narrow roads leading to the cave, but the lieutenant ordered his subordinates to inform the general immediately, so they didn't have time to understand the situation inside. "
