The two of them looked at the two topographic maps on the table, one large and one small, and mapped the locations of the peaks on the small map to the large map.
The same mountain peaks are clearly visible.
At the foot of the mountain are flowing water lines with the words "Canglan River" written on them.
In addition, next to the mountain peak on the big map, there is a small circle mark with two lines of small characters written in ink.
——Dangerous cliff.
——A hundred meters is not feasible.
The meaning of these two lines of words is very obvious.
There is a cliff on the mountain peak, which is a hundred meters deep. Below is the Canglan River, which is inaccessible to people.
Xiao Lingyue stared at the two lines of small characters, thoughtfully.
King Xiang touched his chin: "According to your statement, the location of this caravan smuggling transaction should be on this mountain, but the problem is that this mountain looks only as big as a finger on the topographic map, but it is definitely not that small in reality.
There are cliffs and a river, so the terrain must be very steep.
How do we find the specific transaction location?
Do we need to search the entire mountain?"
Xiao Lingyue shook her head: "Searching the mountain is definitely not good, it will only scare the grass and scare the snake."
"What should we do?" King Xiang frowned.
Xiao Lingyue said: "The delivery location is determined by the caravan. They will not find a place to deliver the goods for no reason. Some conditions must be met. And Zhong Ronggui also said that there are more goods in this transaction than before.
Thirty percent is enough to weigh over a thousand kilograms."
King Xiang was shocked: "So many?!"
His face became solemn: "Thousands of kilograms of iron ore are enough to build an elite army. No wonder the caravan has to be so cautious. My father sent me to inspect the imperial mausoleum, and asked my third brother to act secretly. In fact, he asked me to
Cooperate with your third brother to uproot the iron ore smuggling, right?"
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes: "Yes, so neither you, His Highness Prince Xiang, nor Zhan Beihan can make this transaction succeed."
As for her.
She couldn't make the deal go through either.
Because Zhong Ronggui had already confessed that the caravan did not have the poisonous needle antidote she was looking for.
The only possibility is with the mastermind behind the caravan!
The dead men of the caravan all obey the orders of the master behind the scenes.
If you want to control the dead soldiers to be obedient, poison is an indispensable method. It is not only the poison needles in the dead soldiers' wrist guards, but also the poison sacs hidden in their teeth. The mastermind behind the scenes must have the antidote.
This person will only show up when the delivery is made.
Only by showing up can you be captured alive.
The purpose of Zhan Beihan and King Xiang is to catch all the smugglers in one fell swoop, so the best option is to capture both the smugglers and the stolen goods.
This does not conflict with Xiao Lingyue's purpose.
Xiao Lingyue said softly: "Yuanmu Town is close to the Huangling Mountains, and there are many large and small peaks around it. Why did the caravan choose this one instead of other peaks?"
King Xiang was startled and began to think deeply: "Yes, why is it this one?"
Is this mountain different from other mountains?
King Xiang stared at the topographic map closely, his eyes constantly scanning, and suddenly an idea flashed: "I know, it's..."
"It's a cliff!"
Xiao Lingyue took up his words at the same time, and she also discovered it.
King Xiang's eyes lit up with excitement: "There are more than a dozen mountains of various sizes nearby. Only this mountain is marked with a cliff, and at the foot of the mountain is the Canglan River. The iron ore is very heavy. If it is thrown from the cliff, it will
Just sink it into the river and salvage it later!"
She pointed at the river on the topographic map, and then pointed at the surrounding mountains: "If the real terrain is the same as what is painted on this map, then under this cliff peak, the river will become very serious after passing through the first few bends.
It is so fast that it is not suitable for stopping a boat for salvage.
If it is salvaged from the shore.
First of all, it is difficult for people to get down from a cliff more than 100 meters deep, and secondly, it is uncertain what the situation is under the cliff, making salvage very difficult."
