The Bronze Sacred Tree is a national treasure.
Although it is not as directly a deterrent as nuclear weapons, its real value, to some extent, exceeds that of nuclear weapons.
That was a "national treasure" that could usher in a new era, but now it was intercepted under heavy protection...
"Crack!~"
Director Hu slammed the table hard.
"hateful…!"
At the same time, I secretly resented my negligence.
They should have sent people to stop this group of people after they noticed that they entered the Qinling Mountains... No, they should have detained Hong Kang the moment he came into contact with Zhang Qiling.
Otherwise this wouldn't happen.
Qi said: "Check for me! Chase for me!"
"We must catch them and bring back the bronze pillar!"
Falcon asked doubtfully: "Them?"
Director Hu informed him of the identities of the five Hong Kang people.
Falcon was angry but also had doubts.
"That bronze column is more than ten meters long and weighs at least more than thirty tons..."
"There are only five of them, how did they bring them out...?"
"Based on the analysis of the ground conditions, there are no signs of being dropped or dragged..."
"There are no traces of heavy-duty trucks outside. As for helicopters, it's even less likely..."
"Moreover, there is no image of them appearing on the monitor..."
After listening to Falcon's analysis, Director Hu felt that there was indeed something he still didn't understand.
Moreover, after calming down, he also thought of a question, how did the other party obtain the bronze pillar?
According to the information he knew, the Bronze Sacred Tree looked like it was made of bronze metal, but it was actually much stronger than bronze. Even an anti-material sniper rifle could not leave any traces.
but--
"Don't worry about all that..."
"Falcon, I'll give you a task now. Bring five of them back as quickly as possible. I want to see them..."
"List the team members, equipment, weapons, transportation you need..."
"You write the report, and I'll approve the note..."
The falcons stand at attention.
"Yes, Chief."

At this time, Hong Kang and his party had arrived at Jiangcheng, which is known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces.
Along the way, the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
After witnessing Hong Kang's earth-shattering power, even Ye Lanqiu, who had been following him, could not calm down for a long time, not to mention Wu Xie and the other three, and Fatty Wang almost shrank into a ball. It was a rare moment of silence along the way. What gossip.
The skills that Hong Kang showed before could be said to be martial arts, although they seemed to be much better than those shown in movies and TV series.
But when he made a move in the Qinling Mountains, the mountains were shaken directly, as if an earthquake was coming...
This can no longer be explained by any martial arts.
Hong Kang didn't care much about the psychology of several people.
Even Ye Lanqiu's expectations in Hong Kang's heart were greatly reduced after he figured out the origin of her energy.
After entering the ocean of Yuanli in this world once, it is like finding a mysterious path in a dense forest that you have never been before. Entering again will be much more familiar.
Hong Kang's spiritual consciousness was mostly explored and studied in the ocean of Yuanli.
He could feel that there must be some secrets hidden deep down here, but he never really discovered it.
Then, it was Ye Lanqiu who broke the silence first.
"I didn't expect to come back to Jiangcheng again." She looked nostalgic.
"Have you been here?" Wu Xie answered to avoid being left in the cold.
"I studied here in college," Ye Lanqiu said. "My favorite place to go at that time was the East China Normal University Cultural Street. There were all kinds of interesting shops there..."
The topic opened up and the atmosphere seemed to become more relaxed.
Several people glanced at Hong Kang from the corner of their eyes and saw that his expression was as usual, and their tense hearts relaxed a little.
Ye Lanqiu recalled: "Among them, for example, 173 Art Space, Qiju Coffee, Jianghu Opera Troupe, Baicaoyuan Bookstore, Cape of Good Hope Gem Research Institute, Chengzi YY Fabric, Xiangyuan Flower Shop, Mi-Clay Studio... etc. wait."
Wu Xie commented: "Looking at the name, it seems quite bourgeois."
Ye Lanqiu said with a smile on his face: "It's almost the same. The bosses are all artistic young people. I like to go to the Baicaoyuan Bookstore with a few of my close classmates. It's our secret base on weekends."
The words "secret base" seemed to stimulate Fatty Wang. His big head turned around and asked curiously:
"Is that bookstore big?"
Ye Lanqiu shook his head and said: "On the contrary, the area is quite small, about fifty or sixty square meters..."
Fatty Wang had an "I understand" look in his eyes: "That must be because the boss is handsome, an artistic young man, melancholy, and very attractive to school girls."
Ye Lanqiu rolled her eyes at him and said: "The boss is just an ordinary person, uh... a little better looking than you, a little thin, wearing glasses, and his hair is a little oily."
Fatty Wang was unhappy.
In the eyes of this girl, Fatty, my face is below the average line~
"By the way, the owner of this bookstore is also named Wang. I can't remember his name clearly. At that time, we all called him Lao Wang..."
"At first I was attracted by the name, from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore..."
“The reason why we liked going there later was because it felt like this bookstore was the most like a bookstore…”
It sounds a bit convoluted.
Complimenting a bookstore as a bookstore seems as ridiculous as praising a singer for not lip-synching.
"Because most bookstores now have gorgeous decorations, cafes, restaurants, and Internet celebrity elements. They don't look like a bookstore that sells books. Instead, they become more and more like attractions. Books are no different from the tiles and chandeliers in the store. It’s all just decoration.”
It could be heard that Ye Lanqiu seemed a little disappointed with this phenomenon.
Hong Kang said: "How can I say this kind of bookstore? It conforms to the times and develops to a greater extent in space. It must not only meet people's cultural needs, but also meet their social needs."
"But this is a bit too flattering to "social", so that no one cares about the book that is supposed to be the protagonist." Ye Lanqiu blurted back, and then was surprised, "Uh, sir..."
Sensing that the hearts of several people were tensed up, Hong Kang's own aura slightly affected them, making them feel peaceful and warm.
Hong Kang smiled and said, "Just keep talking."
Ye Lanqiu said in a soft voice, "Oh, but Baicao Garden is different. Lao Wang selects books very carefully. He never buys any best-sellers or marketing books..."
"Some are famous books by professors in various disciplines, or books by some good niche writers, and then there are some good books that are difficult to buy on the market. He has them all here, and the classification is very scientific. People who specialize in academics will Come here often to hunt for treasures, it’s like a small library.”
"Moreover, Lao Wang will also organize some reading clubs, music tasting meetings, reading exchange meetings, etc. with the owners of other small shops. He often invites customers and readers to come together. There is social interaction here, but it never deviates from pure culture. Kernel.”
"Of course, the most important thing is that all the books in Baicao Garden can be opened and read. It's okay if you don't buy them. As a student party, I was short of money at the time..."
"The atmosphere in the store is very free. I just pick a book and lie on the floor and read it slowly, and no one cares about you..."
Ye Lanqiu chuckled, with a little nostalgia in his smile.
Hong Kang said: "This boss is also a wonderful person!"
"Since you're passing by, why not go over and take a look."
Ye Lanqiu laughed: "Okay! Let me see if it is still in its original position..."
Pull out your phone and check it out.
"Well, we have indeed moved. Now we have moved to Sunshine Pier..."
"Because Lao Wang just sells books. I remember, he always said that he would not be able to open the store, would close the store, or was planning to change to a location with cheaper rent..."
