Chapter 277 The Disappearing Expedition
Seeing that Wang Lang directly denied his many thoughts, Heijiao looked a little frustrated, and respectfully said: "Observe!"

Since Wang Lang still had his own affairs to attend to, he said, "Go down if you have nothing else to do!"

At this moment, a soldier hurried towards Wang Lang's "palace", but was stopped by the guards.

"Your Majesty's residence, no one else is allowed to trespass!" The guard said coldly.

"I have something important to report to Your Majesty!" the soldier said anxiously.

Seeing this, the guard said: "You wait here, I will go in and report to His Majesty."

Just as Lin Huo and Lin Huo were about to turn around and go out, the guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a soldier outside who wants to see something."

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

After the guards retreated, Lin Huo and Lin Huo paused and became curious. Now Xia Guo basically has no enemies, and they don't know what else is going to happen.

Seeing the two of them standing still, Wang Lang smiled and said, "Since you want to hear it, sit down and listen to what it is!"

Hearing this, the two smiled, and each found a chair to sit down.

After a while, the guard walked in with the soldier.

When the soldiers saw Wang Lang, they bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth expedition team has returned."

"Fourth Expeditionary Team?" Wang Lang asked suspiciously.

The soldier nodded and said, "It's the expedition team that disappeared for more than a year."

Hearing this, Wang Lang rubbed his chin. Zhou Tianshi and the others set off together for the fourth expedition. These people have already been included in the death list, but they are still alive.

"Where are they now?" Wang Lang asked.

"Just waiting for His Majesty's reception in the outer city." The soldier replied.

"Bring them here!"

"As ordered!"

The soldiers ran out in a hurry.

In the outer city, seven or eight expedition members in ragged clothes quietly waited for the arrival of the messenger among a group of onlookers. Keep silent.

The soldier who delivered the message hurried over and said to these people: "Your Majesty has summoned you, the Fourth Expeditionary Team, come with me."

Under the watchful eyes of the people, the expedition team walked towards the "palace" through the gate of the inner city.

"Your Majesty, they are here." The guard reported.

Wang Lang nodded, motioning to bring them in.

Seeing these expedition members with torn clothes and dirty faces, Wang Lang was shocked. Judging from their appearance, they must have suffered a lot.

"Show some warriors a seat quickly." Wang Lang ordered quickly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The expedition members said respectfully.

After they sat down, Wang Lang asked, "Why did you take so long to come back?"

A tall and strong man replied with a lonely expression: "Your Majesty, we have been heading northeast since we left that day, but we basically found nothing, so we decided to continue heading further. We went all the way forward, and the further we went, the colder the weather became. About four months later, we walked out of the grassland. The situation there was very different from here, and the forest was bare without a single leaf. We had to wrap ourselves in animal skins to protect against the cold, and we went on in this way, and there we came to a high mountain covered with white things, and there we met other humans, who grew up with the queen. Almost all of them have white skin and yellow hair. We had a conflict with them and four of our companions died. We killed them all. After that, those white people were very unfriendly. When they saw us, they asked us nothing. Immediately launched an attack, we retreated while fighting, and then slowly withdrew, and it took another half a year to return."

Wang Lang was silent. He didn't expect these people to go so far, and their words contained a lot of information. It's normal to go north in the frigid zone, but this situation is very different from the land he knows well. Not the same, he guessed that he was in the American continent, and most likely in South America, but through their description, he felt that his guess was a bit unreliable.

If it is in South America, then the tropical area is the rainforest of Brazil, then they go north, it is the Mexican area, where he does not remember the tall mountains that run from east to west, and the question of where he is makes him even more confused.

While Wang Lang was thinking about this question, the strong man took off the animal skin pocket behind him and took out a black stone.

"Your Majesty, we found this kind of strange stone in the north. We used this kind of stone to make a fire to keep warm. At the beginning, we used this kind of time to build a stove, but when the fire started, this kind of stone can actually burn. We have never I saw such a weird thing, and thought it was a good thing, so I brought it back."

Wang Lang looked at the stone and was overjoyed. He didn't expect these guys to find a coal mine. Although the most indispensable thing in this world is wood, the heat of coal burning is much higher than that of ordinary wood. It's like charcoal, and it burns longer, which is more cost-effective than charcoal.

According to the current progress of Xia Kingdom's development, sooner or later the territory will be pushed to the northern frigid zone, where the value of coal will be reflected. Although this resource is not available now, it will definitely shine in the future.

In his opinion, the white people in the north were no threat to him at all. When his army arrived there, these savages could only become obedient citizens under his rule.

Wang Lang took the piece of coal and looked at it, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "This thing is very good, your expedition this time is really hard."

"Thank you for your Majesty's appreciation. We don't think it's hard work, but we feel a little sorry for those dead companions, and we heard that our death has been announced in the tribe. If you dare to ask Your Majesty, we don't know what our wives and children are now. The situation." The strong man said.

Hearing this, Wang Lang felt a little embarrassed. Xia Guo does not allow widows to exist. Although he has not personally known the situation of these people's wives and children, he can guess that most of these people's wives have remarried. The adventure warriors who went out in danger of their lives learned that such a result was the result of their hard work. It was too chilling. For a while, he didn't know how to say this.

After the scene was silent for a while, Wang Lang said, "Warriors, I won't hide it from you. You were declared dead a few months ago. I think you can guess the result."

The members of the expedition team fell silent when they heard the words. At this moment, they were in extremely complicated moods. They were disappointed, angry, and more helpless.

Seeing their expressions, Wang Lang sighed.

　I recommend a book Urban Seedling "Agents of the Way of Heaven", if you are interested, you can read it.
