There is no description of the terrain in the mountains.

Xiao Lingyue only knew that this mountain was connected to the mountain range where the imperial tomb was located, but she could only find the cliff marked on the topographic map.

Fortunately, the topographic map states that the cliff is a hundred meters deep.

Under the cliff is the Canglan River.

The total height of this mountain is about 200 meters, which means that the location of the cliff is at least above the mountainside and not at the top of the mountain.

And it is on the side near the river.

Xiao Lingyue followed these two clues and searched upwards. It took more than an hour to find the location of the cliff behind the dense forest.

"I finally found it. I'm hiding it very deeply. I'm afraid that even the nearby villagers don't know there is a cliff here, right?"

After walking in the mountains for so long, Xiao Lingyue's whole body was wet with fog, and she felt very uncomfortable.

When she reached the edge of the cliff, she immediately felt something was wrong.

This is approaching the hour of Hai.

It's about an hour before the ugly moment of trading.

The mountains are pitch black, misty, and the visibility is extremely low.

Apart from the sound of animals in the forest, it is terrible.

Xiao Lingyue took out a fire note from her arms, used it as a small torch, and walked around the cliff carefully.

The cliff itself is not large in size.

On one side, there was a lot of fog underneath, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I could only hear the sound of the surging river.

The other three sides are covered by weeds, woods and vines, and even ordinary animals rarely come.

Logically speaking, such a place should be rarely visited and the grass and trees are particularly lush.

But Xiao Lingyue walked around and soon discovered many strange places.

The grass and trees around the cliffs have traces of being cleaned up.

The weeds and vines on the ground also broke large areas, as if they were crushed by heavy objects, and the branches also had the same creases, as if they were left a long time ago.

Because the cliffs are rarely visited and there are not even animals, these traces are preserved intact and have not changed at all.

"It seems that the person responsible for the tail sweep is not serious. He relies on the cliff location to hide and even the traces are not cleaned."

Xiao Lingyue bent down and helped up a broken vine. Judging from the growth of the leaves at the broken mark, it has been at least a few months.

Zhong Ronggui also explained before that their transaction frequency is very stable.

At most twice a year, at least once.

The more frequent transactions are, the greater the risk of exposure.

Therefore, both parties often deliver the goods once every six months, and the specific time and location are not fixed and they are changed at any time.

Xiao Lingyue held the fire note in one hand and pushed away the weeds on the ground with the other.

On the damp soil and moss, she saw many messy rut marks, crisscrossing one by one, like the repeated crushing of wheels.

The ruts are very deep.

Xiao Lingyue reached out and tried it, and fell into the ground with a palm depth.

What is so heavy? Can it crush the wheels?

The answer is iron blocks.

It is very difficult to carry hundreds or thousands of kilograms of iron, especially in the deep mountains.

It is too difficult to carry it with manpower, and transportation tools such as chariots must be used.

Next to the rut marks, there are many hoof marks left by equine animals, which should be left by pulling carts such as horses or donkeys.

"Something is wrong"

Xiao Lingyue looked at these traces and suddenly frowned, "All traces are heading towards the cliff, and there is only going, not going back. When I went up the mountain, I paid attention to it, and I did not see any traces of heavy objects going down the mountain."

What's going on?
