Chapter 1136 - 1141: Giving You a Son (1)
With Cai Wei’s explanation about the Triceratops, Nangong Yi suddenly felt confident, he picked up the drawing that Cai Wei had made, turned around, and headed out.
"I know what to do now, rest assured, Wei’er, the people of Yuanning County won’t have to fear for their lives anymore."
Seeing him about to leave, Cai Wei quickly called out to him, "Hey, where are you going?"
The man waved the drawing in his hand and said, "I’m going to show this to those Ministers who advocate slaughtering the city, a group of old men who are so pedantic and rigid, ready to disregard the lives of the people without grasping the truth of the matter, today I shall really slap their faces and see if they dare to lecture me in the future!"
Cai Wei, holding her forehead, said, "To slap someone’s face just with a drawing, isn’t that a bit too simplistic, what if they don’t believe it?"
Nangong Yi laughed and said, "Don’t worry, right now I’ll issue an edict for the villagers of Yuanning County who have found the skull to keep digging, to unearth the body, and let’s see what they have to say then?"
Cai Wei said, "Hey, have you never heard the story of the shifting sands? The earth’s crust is constantly moving and changing, even this skull might have been separated from its body due to geological changes. Besides, who knows what happened to this Triceratops after it died? In that age of survival of the fittest, it might have been eaten or dissected after death, it’s entirely possible. In such a vast mountain forest, where do you expect people to dig?"
The man said, "We have to at least try, maybe we’ll find it right away. Or, you said that Triceratops lived in herds, right? There must be other Triceratops in this mountain, simply dig in more places, and sooner or later we’ll find them!"
Cai Wei said, "Do you think this is Moving the Mountain? Even if the people of Yuanning County have the energy to dig, the pressing old officials at court don’t have the patience to wait!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man’s previously beaming handsome face suddenly became gloomy—yeah, digging for a few dinosaur bones in a mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles was akin to finding a needle in the haystack!
