Escape after crossing

Leng Shixuan nodded. Although Leng Chenming said so, he also thought about it again. When Jiang Ziluo heard about the Black Stone Reef Mine, modern coal mines appeared in his mind.

But Jiang Ziluo didn’t know what kind of coal mine this was. In modern times, Jiang Ziluo once participated in a rescue mission for a coal mine collapse.

The situation was very urgent at the time, and she and other rescuers risked their lives to go deep into the mine and try to rescue the trapped miners. That experience made her deeply realize the hardship and danger of working in a coal mine.

However, apart from the rescue operation itself, Jiang Ziluo knew little about the specific conditions of the coal mine. She only knew that a coal mine was a place where coal resources were obtained by digging underground coal seams, but she did not know much about the formation of coal mines, mining methods, and related safety measures.

After all, her professional field is not the coal mining industry, and in modern society, people pay more attention to energy utilization and environmental protection issues, and may not pay too much attention to the details of coal mines.

However, the news about the Black Rock Reef Mine made Jiang Ziluo curious about coal mines. She began to wonder whether there were any connections or differences between the ancient Black Rock Reef Mine and modern coal mines.

However, when Jiang Ziluo thought about handing over the Black Rock Reef Mine to the court, her thoughts immediately disappeared. However, another thing came to her mind.

Leng Shixuan wanted to use this ore to exchange for wealth, but she didn't want to use the gold in Lingxi's treasury, and Jiang Ziluo was unwilling to let the gold be lost easily.

"Ninth Prince, what is the purpose of this Black Stone Reef Mine? How big is it?" Jiang Ziluo didn't know much about the Black Stone Reef Mine.

Although she knew that in the palace, wealthy merchants and noble families everywhere, there was still coal available even in the cold winter.

“If the black stone reef in the Black Stone Reef Mine is of high quality, it can be used to make arrowheads or farm tools.” The Ninth Prince replied.

Jiang Ziluo was confused. Wasn't this the coal mine she had imagined? It seemed that she had to find a suitable time to enter the space and investigate it thoroughly.

"What if it's lower grade?" Seeing that Leng Shixuan only mentioned upper grade but didn't mention lower grade, Jiang Ziluo continued to ask.

Leng Shixuan sighed and replied helplessly, "The inferior black stone reefs are of poor quality and usually cannot be used to make arrowheads or farm tools.

These inferior black stone reefs are often treated as ordinary stones by dignitaries and used to pave roads or build houses.

However, there is another saying that some black rock reefs can burn, and the temperature generated when burning is extremely high, and the fire is extremely fierce.

Of course, this is just a legend, I have never witnessed such a thing happen myself."

At this point, Leng Shixuan couldn't help but reveal a trace of regret in his eyes. He knew very well that in this vast world, there were still many mysterious things and forces that had not yet been fully explored and understood by humans.

And these rumors about Black Rock Reef may just be the tip of the iceberg of many mysteries.

When Jiang Ziluo heard about the burning black stone reef, she suddenly felt an irrepressible excitement. She had previously told Leng Chenming that she was looking for a special item, and the black stone reef mentioned at this moment just met her needs.

To refine high-quality steel, it is necessary to use the fierce flames and high temperature environment generated by this black stone reef. However, when she heard the second half of Leng Shixuan's words, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

Leng Chenming, who had been silent the whole time, saw all the changes in Jiang Ziluo's expression, but he did not ask easily at this time. He knew very well that this was not the right time, so he chose to remain silent and wait for the right opportunity to make plans.

"Uncle Ninth Prince, how much silver do you want? Tell me first, I don't have too much." Leng Chenming said.

"I know, and the specific situation of this mine is not yet known, so you guys decide on the price!"

"Uncle Ninth Prince, let me tell Uncle Huang about this mine. Lingxi Country will be able to compensate us recently. Whatever Uncle Huang rewards me with, I will give it to Uncle Ninth Prince. How do you think?"

Leng Shixuan knew the King's character, so he immediately shook his head with a look of disapproval on his face: "No, nephew, how can you take out the things that have gone into the King's pocket? Even if you can really take them out, they must be very few. I don't want to do such a loss-making business!"

Leng Shixuan thought for a moment, "My dear nephew, you can't cheat your uncle like this! How about this, I just want all the money that your Huajianfu Restaurant earns in a month, what do you think?"

Leng Chenming lowered his head and thought for a moment. He knew that the Ninth Prince was always shrewd, and this condition was probably the minimum requirement.

"Okay, deal." Leng Chenming agreed readily.

Jiang Ziluo knew in his heart that Huajianfu's profit in one month was quite considerable, but if he could conceal this matter, it would still be worth it.

After the three of them had agreed on the matter, Leng Shixuan asked Leng Chenming to return to the barracks overnight and pretend to be injured. Then he asked Leng Chenming to report the news of the Black Stone Reef Mine to the court.

Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo did not dare to delay for even a second, and took advantage of the night to rush back to the military camp. When Xuanyi, Xuansan, Mingyue and Mingxi saw the two return safely, they could not help but burst into tears.

In the past few days, they have been worried about Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo all the time. Especially after the agreed one month, they became more and more anxious.

And a few days ago, Xuanyi received a secret letter from the King of Zhenxi and learned about those rumors. This made them extremely anxious and they wanted to rush into Lingxi Kingdom immediately, go deep into the mountains and forests, and find out the truth of the matter.

Leng Chenming briefly told everyone about his experiences during this period and emphasized that he was injured and needed to rest for a while.

At the same time, he reported the news of the Black Stone Reef Mine to the court according to the plan agreed with Leng Shixuan. Jiang Ziluo decided to find an opportunity to enter the space and investigate the situation of the Black Stone Reef.

She hoped to find the burning black stone reef to meet her needs for refining high-quality steel. In the following days, Leng Chenming rested and recovered from his injuries.

Leng Shixuan naturally did not dare to waste time and rushed to the military camp without stopping, but he was only two days later than Leng Chenming and the others. After arriving at the military camp, he began to inquire. After all, according to common sense, Leng Shixuan did not know about the Black Rock Reef Mine at this time, so he had to do superficial things in everything.

Of course, everyone had heard about the Black Rock Reef Mine. Leng Shixuan, like Leng Chenming before him, wrote a detailed memorial about his arrival at the military camp and sent it back to the capital at full speed. Since Leng Chenming's memorial had been delivered first, the king's edict reached the military camp within a few days.
