Chapter 272

Li Fan smiled, handed Shu Liang a cigarette and said, "I've written it down. The 50 tons of coal you asked for last time is ready. Just tell me where to transport it.".

"No", Shu Liang waved his hand and vomited a smoke ring, reminding: "someone will come and pull in the near future. Remember, don't talk too much, otherwise no one can protect you".

"Understand!" Li Fan looked obscene and pointed to a figure in the distance. Shu Liang found that the solitary figure was the young female nurse who sewed her wound. "Battalion commander Shu, that's specially reserved for you. How about letting her sleep tonight?"

Shu Liang's eyelids jumped for a moment, flashed before his eyes, and the female nurse was thin with a faint sad face, frowned and said, "is her brother also underground?"

Li Fan was startled and seemed to remember: "look at my memory. I'll change it right away?"

"Forget it, it's better to deal with the aftermath of such a big thing," Shu Liang raised his feet and walked towards the mine.

The crowd around the mine mouth was crowded with dark people. Seeing Shu Liang and Li Fan coming, the noise disappeared. The crowd automatically divided a channel on both sides, as if there was an invisible force. They looked at them indifferently from the channel to the mine mouth.

"How many people are underground? Have you sent someone down?"

A man, who was black and gray and cool like a black man, squeezed out of the crowd, exposed two rows of white teeth and said: "camp commander Shu and mine manager Li, when the collapse in the evening, 47 people were working underground. After the incident, 26 people have been safely in the well, 21 people have lost contact. Up to now, there is no news. Someone has been sent to check it. I believe there will be news soon.".

"Have you found out the location and area of the collapse? Do you know what caused the collapse?"

The man who spoke said, "when the collapse, blasting operation was being carried out underground. Maybe there was a problem at the blasting point?"

"Hmm!" Li Fan looked at Shu Liang, who was silent. "Quickly organize people to find out the cause of the accident. Don't delay production. Do you hear clearly?"

The man who spoke was stunned. 21 people were given up. It was a naked murder, but he dared not object and stood aside silently.

Li Fan didn't seem to notice the man's expression. He flattered and said, "camp Shu, it's all right here. Go back and have a rest.".

Shu Liang's wound had a faint pain after the alcohol disappeared. He turned and was ready to leave. At this time, a miner covered with blood climbed out of the mine, holding a bright and dark steam lamp in his hand, shouted outside the cave: "I found it. It's an underground palace...".

Li Fan rushed to the miner at an incredible speed, grabbed the miner's collar and said, "what are you talking about, what underground palace?"

"Underground palace, the legendary pear blossom underground palace appeared, just below the cave in Tunnel..."

"Shut up! I think you're scared. Come on! Lock this man up for me." immediately behind Li Fan, two mine security guards appeared and dragged the miner away from the mine mouth. Then he turned and said to the crowd: "All go back. We are organizing professional rescue personnel to go down the well for rescue. You go back and wait for news. All the people in the mine have a day off today. Don't affect the rescue work here.".

Li Fan waved to the security guards around him. Immediately, a group of wolf like security guards rushed up to drive the crowd away from the mine mouth, pulled up the cordon and looked ready to go down the well for rescue.

"What's going on? What's the pear blossom underground palace?" Shu Liang said coldly.

Li Fan now has the impulse to kill the big mouth miner with one punch, but things have happened and it is impossible to hide.

"Battalion commander Shu, it's obvious that real people don't tell lies. It's said that in the Sui Dynasty, there was a palace of Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, called Lihua palace. There were a lot of rare treasures and peerless beauties in it for Yang Guang to cruise and have fun. I don't know when, Lihua palace suddenly disappeared. Some people said that Lihua palace was destroyed by war, others said it was destroyed by a big earthquake. Later, there were shepherds When looking for the lost sheep, the sheep man saw the pear flower palace, which is under the mountain forest, but no one has seen the pear flower palace again... ".

"Hum! It's just an underground palace". Shu Liang is not interested in the underground palace. In the end of the golden age, no amount of treasure can be used as food, "you're ready to take it for yourself".

Li Fan quickly shook his head and said, "these are national treasures. How can I monopolize them? I just want to see what the legendary pear blossom palace looks like?"

Shu Liang sneered and turned to leave. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "I'm a little interested now. I also want to see what the pear blossom palace of emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty looks like.".

Li Fan's face turned pale and looked very unnatural in the dim light. A trace of uncontrollable tension was shrouded in the dark where the light intersected.

"What! Can't you see?"

Li Fan's heart trembled and suddenly found that he had been cheated. All his reactions fell into Shu Liang's eyes and it was too late to say anything.

"Since battalion commander Shu wants to see the Lihua palace, I'll prepare now. Now the underground situation is complex. I'll let someone go down to explore the way first."

"No, prepare a generator and go down the well now". Shu Liang showed an imperceptible sneer at the corners of his mouth. Li fan can't help but know that the so-called treasures in the palace are of no use at all. There must be an unspeakable secret to hide.

Soon, a 20 member expedition was assembled. Shu Liang followed Li Fan with a "Chi Chi" burning torch. The "ticking" sound of water on the cave wall echoed in the cave and gathered into a trickle on the ground. The silky cave wall, cold and moldy air suffocated people. The dark torch and gray black in the cave swallowed everything like a huge animal mouth.

The sound of "stepping" echoed in the empty tunnel, the rapid breathing was suppressed and nervous, and the air blowing from the dark made a "whine" sound.

With the sound of "Hua Hua", I walked towards the dark bottom of the cave step by step. The lower I went, the more turbid the air became. I could vaguely see the glittering coal crystals floating in the air.

"It's almost there. There's still a hundred meters left." Li Fan gasped. It was obvious that he hadn't been down the coal mine for a long time. Suddenly, his foot slipped and his body rushed forward. At this time, he was held by Shu Liang behind him.

"It's about more than 30 meters underground, and the Lihua Palace should be no more than 50 meters underground." Shu liang thought, "pay attention to the slippery feet and keep up.".

Behind the pedestrian, a temporary lighting line is being laid intensively, and the whole descending channel can be seen faintly.

"Here we are! Just ahead." Li Fan excitedly shook the torch in his hand. A huge underground cave appeared in front of everyone. Countless strange and colorful stalactites grew from all directions and were beautiful in the light of the fire.
