Chapter 484 Entering the fort

The sound had become very small when the carriage was parked, but everyone present could hear Wang Sancai's voice clearly.

Lin Qian heard the surprise in Wang Sancai's voice and couldn't help laughing: "What did you find? Haha, did he find out that he had pulled out a piece of golden feces?"

His teasing caused everyone to laugh, but Li Yuannan frowned slightly and waved to the carriage: "Lin Qian, Zhang Biao, go and go with me to see, everyone else will stay here."

Lin Qian immediately pulled the man beside him to jump out of the carriage, followed behind Li Yuannan, and smiled at the others: "Brothers, wait, we will get rich when I come back!"

This sentence caused another burst of laughter. Li Yuannan couldn't help but turn around and glar at him this time, and then he quickly restrained his smile.

Soon, the three of them walked around the back of the hill and heard Wang Sancai's greeting along the way. Originally, the three of them could not guess what was going on, but when they saw the stone pillar on the ground, they were stunned.

Seeing the three of them dumbfounded, Wang Sancai couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't pay attention when I came here just now. I just took off my pants and found this thing. I just heard that the stone pillars that Mr. Li needed were requested by the stone pillars. I looked carefully and found that the stone pillars were almost the same. Then I called you. Whether it was qualified or not was still up to Sergeant Li."

Li Yuannan was the first to come back to his senses. He looked at Wang Sancai strangely. He was the only person here who knew Wang Sancai’s specialness. His eyes were also asking if Wang Sancai’s stone pillar was related to him.

Wang Sancai pretended not to see it, and while covering his stomach, he ran and said, "You guys watch first. I haven't had time to solve it yet. I'll change another place!"

Before the others said anything, Wang Sancai was already covering his stomach and ran away.

At this time, Lin Qian and Zhang Bian came to their senses and ran to the stone pillar to look left and right. Soon, Lin Qian pointed to the upper, middle and lower sections of the stone pillar and said, "Sir, this column is quite strange. Look, the colors of these three sections of rock are a little different."

Li Yuannan found that the stone pillar seemed a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember why it looked familiar. He nodded and carefully looked at the stone pillar, while saying lightly: "Well, maybe it's because of the different rock layers... I don't know why this stone pillar fell here. It seems to be different from the surrounding rock layers."

As he said that, he suddenly straightened his waist: "Lin Qian. Now you go back and call all the remaining people and those stonemasons. The thickness of this stone pillar is completely enough. Judging from the length, it can be used as two stone pillars. Ask the stonemasons to come and see if there is any problem with the stone."

"Yes, sir!" Lin Qian immediately straightened his back.

...

When Wang Sancai pretended to be convenient and came back, everyone had gathered at the stone pillar. Unfortunately, Wang Sancai didn't pull it out at all, but no one would check if a person had excreted stool, so Wang Sancai was not worried about it.

He had already felt better in secret, and when everyone came to the stone pillar, he rushed back slowly from the other end.

Before he could walk in front of him, Wang Sancai heard a serious voice: "Mr. Li, this stone pillar is not simple!"

"Oh? Tell me. What's the point of being not simple?" Li Yuannan's voice also came.

Wang Sancai walked over quietly and saw everyone quietly surrounding him. The stonemasons were carefully observing the stone pillar, while Li Yuannan stood in front of the stone pillar.

I heard one of the stonemasons say meaningfully: "First of all, the ground has been pressed out. It can be seen that this stone pillar has been here for a while. But what is strange is that there is no dust on the stone pillar. Is it strange?"

Li Yuannan frowned immediately, and Wang Sancai, who came back next to him, also felt a sudden jump in his heart. He forgot this detail!

If you say you wiped it yourself, what should you use? Even if you use your hands, you have to wash your hands, right?

So, Wang Sancai could only frown and shrugged: "Yes, this is how Shizhu looked like when I came."

Li Yuannan immediately looked at Wang Sancai with deep meaning.

However, the stonemason just paused for a moment and said, "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I found that the rock layer of this stone pillar is divided into multiple sections, which is very similar to the underground rock layer. Sir, look..."

Speaking of this, he pointed to one end and said, "The rock layer over there is getting darker in color, very much like deep underground. Through my years of judgment, I guess there should be active water flow near that rock layer."

As soon as he finished speaking, several other stonemasons immediately raised their heads and nodded repeatedly. One of them also said: "Lao Wang is the most skilled stonemason among us, and he will definitely not misjudgment."

Others also immediately agreed.

This sentence reminded Li Yuannan at once. He suddenly remembered that the well at home was very consistent in terms of width, color of the stone, or simply length. No wonder he always felt familiar when he saw it for the first time.

He was immediately sure that the stone pillar must be related to Wang Sancai, but if it were really the one left by his well, how did Wang Sancai transport it here?

When he left his home, he didn't take the stone pillar away. Although he was very strange at the time, he still couldn't figure out this problem.

Where can I hide such a large stone pillar?

Subconsciously, Li Yuannan cast inquiring eyes at Wang Sancai, but what he saw was Wang Sancai's calm face.

Wang Sancai felt helpless. He looked at Lao Wang a few more times and couldn't help but think: Are you a stonemason or a geological survey?

However, Li Yuannan obviously didn't want to waste time here. He looked up at the sky and said to Lao Wang and the others: "See if the stone material of this stone pillar is OK, if it is OK, we will just pull it away. This stone pillar can be cut into two, and there is another stone pillar in the fortress that is almost useless."

The stonemasons nodded and observed carefully again.

Li Yuannan couldn't help looking at Wang Sancai, always trying to see some flaws in him. Although he was not sure that this was the stone pillar left by his well, he always felt that he could not get rid of anything with Wang Sancai.

Soon, under the inspection of the stonemasons, the stone pillar was approved for use, so according to Li Yuannan's request, the stone pillar was cut into two sections from the middle. When the stonemasons were busy, other soldiers rushed over to drive the carriage.

Things became much easier afterwards. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the stone pillars cut into two sections were placed on the carriage. When the stone pillars were moved to the carriage, Wang Sancai and Li Yuannan walked in front, and had to carry the carriage in front, and the requirements for strength were relatively high, while the others were divided into the middle and the end.

When the stone pillar was lifted up, Wang Sancai was still a little worried that Li Yuannan would be unable to bear it. Unexpectedly, he could lift it easily, and even Wang Sancai did not use much strength.

By just this point, we can judge that Li Yuannan's strength may have reached the stage of concentration.

The two stone pillars were not light, but fortunately, the five horses selected were all strong. After tying the stone pillars tightly, everyone was sweating profusely. The key point was that so many people on the carriage would be a little difficult to drive.

After Li Yuannan thought for a while, he ordered Wang Sancai and himself to guard the carriage, Lin Qian, who had the best horse-driving skills, to act as a groom, and the others returned on foot.

Naturally, the soldiers had no objection. Considering that the stonemasons would be dissatisfied, Li Yuannan promised that this part would settle the wages separately.

So, Wang Sancai and the other two rushed back to the fortress in advance, but Wang Sancai was still wearing a headband.

When the carriage was steady, Wang Sancai found that his hood had been taken off by Li Yuannan. He stared at him and suddenly whispered: "Thank you, I know it must have something to do with you."

When he said the second half of the sentence, Li Yuannan's eyes also fell on the stone pillar on the carriage, but he did not mean to make things difficult for Wang Sancai. After leaving this sentence, he began to call people to lift the stone pillar down.

There were enough people in the fortress, so there was no effort to lift it down. Li Yuannan went in to report and soon came out to inform the person to carry both stone pillars in.

The key is that Wang Sancai was not qualified to enter the fortress, but Li Yuannan said: "I will report this stone pillar to Your Majesty that you discovered. You can go in together. It seems that Your Majesty wants to reward you."

Wang Sancai gave him a grateful look and whispered when he walked to him: "Thank you."

Li Yuannan understood what he meant, smiled and replied lightly: "It's nothing, the credit is yours."

Soon, Wang Sancai and others carried the stone pillar into the fortress. The others were panting because of the stone pillar. Although Wang Sancai also pretended to be breathing, his mind had already been placed elsewhere.

It was a long corridor that was not very long. Wang Sancai glanced around and found that the atmosphere inside seemed a bit dark, without any decoration, and without too much furniture. The overall situation was simple, and the empty and tall roof beams also revealed a serious atmosphere.

The king and Huang Tian were waiting at the place where the stone pillar collapsed. Along the way, Wang Sancai discovered that the fortress was full of compact small rooms, with the doors of each room closed, and he didn't know what items were stored or who was locked.

Wang Sancai suddenly realized that there was a bit of a prison cell inside.

While thinking about it, Wang Sancai found that he had arrived at the damaged building area. Many rooms here had different degrees of defects on the walls of many rooms. There were several rooms with severely damaged walls. Wang Sancai could even see the room, but there was nothing in the room.

Not only were the walls of the room damaged, but there were obvious cracks everywhere. It seemed like an earthquake had passed here, but the building was still solid and did not all collapse.

Along the way, Wang Sancai also noticed that the stone pillars supporting the ceiling had cracks of varying degrees, but they looked quite solid, and the cracks did not affect the main body of the stone pillar.

Just as he was observing, a rough voice came from a distance: "Ah ha, Huang Tian, ​​look, they carried the stone pillar in, hahaha, you lost!"
