"Su Qianxi, did you hear that?"
"Respond to me when you hear it, Su Qianxi——"
While Su Qianxi was guessing who might have mined the iron ore with a solemn look on her face, intermittent calls came from the distance.
Su Qianxi carefully identified it, and it was Mo Zechen's voice. He was here to find her!
"I'm here."
Su Qianxi responded quickly, and Mo Zechen, who was in the distance, heard the sound and followed the sound to find someone.
The mine was originally very dark, but fortunately Mo Zechen had the foresight to bring candles lit from the gold mine with him when he came.
When Mo Zechen held a lantern and walked over quickly with a radiance all over him, he dispelled the darkness around him.
Su Qianxi squatted on the ground and slowly raised her head when she heard the footsteps. Her hopeful eyes reflected the light of the candlelight, and she saw Mo Zechen's face that looked a little worried and anxious.
When their eyes met, they were silent for a moment.
"you······"
When Mo Zechen saw Su Qianxi, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Su Qianxi.
Su Qianxi held up the iron ore she found before Mo Zechen came over, "Look at this, I seem to have discovered something amazing."
She didn't directly say it was iron ore. After all, before Tang Yuan said these things were iron ore, she had never come into contact with them and it was impossible to recognize them.
"This is······"
Mo Zechen took a few steps forward and saw shock and uncertainty on his face after seeing clearly what Su Qianxi was holding.
"Iron ore?"
What Mo Zechen didn't finish was spoken by Su Honghe who came behind him belatedly.
In his hand, he also held the same stone as Su Qianxi's hand, but it was larger than the one in Su Qianxi's hand.
Su Honghe has been serving as prime minister for many years, so naturally he has seen the world.
When he came down just now, he vaguely felt something was wrong with the rocks in the cave. He seemed to have seen them somewhere.
When Mo Zechen was in a hurry to find Su Qianxi, he looked at them carefully and finally remembered why he felt these stones looked familiar.
"The Prime Minister also thinks this looks like iron ore?"
Mo Zechen turned his head slightly and looked at Su Honghe.
He felt it was similar just now, but he wasn't sure.
After all, Su Qianxi accidentally fell into the iron mine, which was quite lucky.
Moreover, Xuancheng has been a barren land in everyone's perception for so many years.
As a result, Xuancheng had been silent for so many years, and two mines suddenly popped up. Who would believe it?
Su Honghe did not answer Mo Zechen's question, but looked at Su Qianxi with sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you know that these stones are not ordinary stones?"
Although Su Qianxi was transferred as soon as she was born, before Su Qianxi was found, she had already sent people to investigate Su Qianxi's past. She had never been exposed to these things.
How can a person who has never come into contact with these things be sure that these stones are not simple?
unless--
As if he thought of something, Su Honghe's eyes became colder and sterner, "Is it possible that you have been in contact with me before? Where have you seen it?!"
"Master Su, are you questioning me or interrogating me?"
With Su Honghe's attitude, how could Su Qianxi give her a good look?
"If it's an inquiry, please change your tone when speaking to me. If it's an interrogation -"
Su Qianxi paused and sneered, "This is not a court, and I have not committed any crime for Mr. Su to catch on the spot. It would be better for Mr. Su to restrain his authority."
"you······"
Su Honghe's face stiffened when he heard this, and a bit of anger appeared on his face. He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mo Zechen.
"Prime Minister, please don't get angry in a hurry. If this is really an iron mine, the princess has done a great job. If this is a misunderstanding, there is no need for the Prime Minister to continue asking."
"No matter what the outcome is, let the princess explain the ins and outs of the matter first."
Su Honghe could naturally tell that Mo Zechen was obviously biased towards Su Qianxi.
However, most of the people present were from Mo Zechen, so Su Honghe could only choose to swallow his anger.
"snort--"
Su Qianxi saw that Su Honghe reluctantly closed his mouth, raised his eyebrows at Su Honghe provocatively and snorted coldly, and successfully saw that Su Honghe was so angry that his breathing became thicker.
"As you walked along, didn't you notice that the road here is very smooth?"
Su Qianxi raised her head and looked at Mo Zechen with bright eyes.
"I don't know much about mines, but I feel that whether it's the winding layout or the flat roads, it's very similar to the gold mine. What do you think?"
After hearing what Su Qianxi said, Mo Zechen noticed something was wrong.
In ordinary caves, there is usually dust on the ground or loose stones that have fallen to the ground, or even weeds growing there.
But as they walked along, the road had no other obstacles except for some twists and turns.
"And over there, there was an exit originally, but it was blocked."
Su Qianxi pointed to the direction she had just come from. When Mo Zechen heard this, he keenly realized that something was wrong. Under Su Qianxi's guidance, he came to the blocked exit that Su Qianxi said was blocked.
After arriving at the destination, Shadow, prompted by Mo Zechen's eyes, stepped forward and pushed, but did not push.
"Master, it seems that a huge boulder happened to block the entrance of the cave. It may be a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence. If the boulder just happens to block the entrance of the cave, why is there still sand inside to block the gap?"
Su Qianxi overturned Shadow's guess and said with some certainty in her tone, "It's obvious that someone discovered this place and kept it secret. Maybe he wanted to take it for himself."
As soon as the words "take it as your own" came out, everyone present except Su Qianxi became murderous.
They all heard it just now. If nothing else, this should be an iron mine.
The five-year-old child on the roadside knows how important iron ore is to the country.
If someone discovers the iron ore and fails to report it, and still wants to take it for himself, then the other party must have the intention of treason! !
Once you find out who this kind of person is, you must not stay! !
"By the way, I'm sure this should be a mine, not just because the entrance to the cave was deliberately sealed, but also because of this."
Su Qianxi spread her hands and handed the thing she had been holding in front of Mo Zechen's eyes.
"this is?"
Mo Zechen glanced at Su Qianxi in confusion.
"The debris from those rocks just now."
Su Qianxi spoke slowly, "I tried it. I used all my strength to smash the rocks on the ground several times, but I couldn't hit them. There are a lot of debris on the ground."
"You should know exactly what this means."
