A strong man like Xiao Tianyao, if he was placed in the Central Empire, will be one of the top-ranked masters. He has the capital to despise them.
The leader of the black-armored guard didn’t say a word. He followed behind the Jinwuwei soldier. He came here to meet Xuanyuan Zhi.
Xuanyuan Zhi was already awake and in good spirits at this time, but this couldn’t hide his injury. The leader of the black-armored guard was startled when he saw his paled face pale, lying on the bed with his shaved head: “Your Highness, what’s wrong with your head?”
“I won’t die with it.” Xuanyuan Zhi didn’t know how the leader of the black-armored guard, but seeing that only one person came in, he knew that these people couldn’t save him.
Since he can’t be rescued, why tell him about his injuries and appear to be incompetent?
“Yes.” The leader of the black-armored guard was trained and did not dare to ask again.
“Tell me, why did you come to see me?” Xuanyuan Zhi was very curious when he saw the leader of the black-armored guard appear in front of him. Xiao Tianyao actually allowed the leader of the black-armored guard to meet him? Isn’t he afraid that he will be rescued by him?
The leader of the black-armored guards didn’t answer immediately but waited for a moment to make sure that no one was listening before saying: “Your Highness, it rained heavily last night, and the mine collapsed. The guards were trapped inside. We dug them out in the afternoon and they are already dead. .”
“Collapse? How can a good mine collapse? How big was the rain last night?” Xuanyuan Zhi sat up abruptly, but accidentally pulled on the wound, and his face became so painful that he had to sit back angrily.
As if he hadn’t seen it, the leader of the black-armored guards said: “It’s very big, it lasted for several hours, and water accumulated in many places. The eastern military camp was also flooded. Our mine collapsed due to the landslide and boulders, rolling down up above, and pressed the weak spot of the mine.”
“Are you sure it’s a natural disaster, not man-made?” This was what Xuanyuan Zhi cares about most.
If it was just a natural disaster, it wouldn’t be a big deal. The mine had already been dug up, and the central empire’s losses were not big. If he could get a little more black iron ores back, it would be better.
But if it was man-made, then it will be a big problem. Even if he finds out the culprit, recovering the loss will not change the fact that he failed his duties.
After all, the central empire didn’t intend to let the eastern and northern countries know about this matter.
“This subordinate has checked, there is no trace of it being man-made. The soldiers and horses of the Northern Army have already retreated. Last night, our people were guarding outside the Eastern Military Camp, no one went out.” They checked everything first. If they weren’t prepared, they wouldn’t dare to come to see Xuanyuan Zhi.
But… …
Although various signs indicated that the collapse of the mine was a natural disaster or an accident, the leader of the black-armored guards still had doubts in his heart. Because the black iron ores they dug out were gone!
Although it was not much, he could tell at a glance.
They also thought that those black iron ores might be swept into the bottom of the mine by the soil and were pressed inside, but… before those black iron ores were dug, everything was possible.
It was just that they didn’t dare to say it. Once they say it, it will be their dereliction of duty, even if the reason for their dereliction of duty was to protect Xuanyuan Zhi.
“Since it was an accident, then report the matter back and have the central empire send someone to investigate.” Without seeing it with his own eyes, Xuanyuan Zhi was not sure whether it was an accident or a man-made one. But the leader of the black-armored guards swore that it was a natural disaster, so he believed it was a natural disaster.
The black iron ores in the mine have almost been emptied, the central empire will not pay too much attention to it. As long as all of them insisted that it was an accident, then it was an accident… …
