Chapter 2087 - The Empty Ore Vein (2/2)

Therefore, it was even more unbelievable when they looked at the chisel marks.

They didn’t want to believe it, but they also couldn’t help but believe it.

Hua Wu Xiang slowly accepted the fact, then he sneered: “It seems that we have met a talented person.”

Everyone knew that he was in a bad mood, hence, no one dared to answer him.

Hua Wu Xiang hadn’t expected them to answer him. After a while, he calmed down. The matter had already happened, it was useless to think about it anymore. What he had to do was investigate.

Envoy Zuo had followed him for the longest period of time and understood his thoughts the best. Without waiting for his order, he said: “I’ve already sent men to investigate. As long as there are traces of outsiders, they will definitely find it.”

“Where are Envoy You and Great Master Liu?”

“Envoy You is dead, as for Great Master Liu… if the news is accurate, he has run away.”

“Ran away?”

“Yes, besides him, another person has survived. I don’t know who it is yet.”

“Great Master Liu is too bold!” Hua Wu Xiang revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

“I have already sent men to capture them. Once they have been captured, we will be able to find out what happened here.”

“If things don’t go well this time then bring your heads to me next time!” After Hua Wu Xiang had finished speaking, he left the Ore vein and returned to Great Bridge City.

Sima You Yue’s entourage of three entered the city and went directly to Old Man Li’s friend.

Old Man Li’s friend’s surname was Du. Old Man Li called him Old Du, and his friend called him Old Li.

After some introduction, the four of them sat down in Old Du’s dilapidated hut. “It’s been so many years since we last met. I didn’t expect that we would have the chance to see each other again in this lifetime.” Old Du said with emotion.

“Yes! But we really nearly didn’t get to see each other.” Old Man Li smiled bitterly.

“What happened?” Old Du asked.

“Hai.” Old Man Li sighed and told him how he had no money to enter the city and had wanted to serve one year of conscripted labor. “If I hadn’t met this kind-hearted Young Mistress You Yue when I was entering the city, we probably wouldn’t have met each other again in this lifetime.”

“Old Li, don’t say that. We have an agreement.” Sima You Yue laughed.

“What agreement?”

“It’s just that she pays for my entrance fee into the city and will be responsible for my expenses for one year, and in exchange, I will show her around.” Old Man Li said.

“Then you have really met an honorable person.” Old Du said enviously, “But why did you think of coming here? Wu Xiang City is not close to here.”

“It’s because the Talent Trials are being held here. Young Mistress You Yue wants to come and take a look.”

“Then you’re not in luck. The Talent Trials ended this morning.”

“It has ended?”

“Yes. I heard that Commander Hua left during the final stage of selection, but I don’t know why.”

“I didn’t expect for us to rush over here and it’s over.” Sima You Yue looked disappointed.

“When we were entering the city, we saw the Commander leaving. I didn’t realize it at that time, but the Talent Trials had ended then.”

At this time, a loud noise came from outside, as if something major had happened. Old Du told them to rest while he went out to inquire about the news.. When he returned, the expression on his face was a little imposing.
