Chapter Eighty-Three: Black Gold
Ye Wanxi's height is not short, but among the men, it is the short kind, Wen Liangping is about one meter seventy-five tall, standing in front of Ye Wanxi menacingly.
Her heart trembled slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to escape, but she knew that doing so would undoubtedly make everyone doubt herself, standing in place, she looked at Wen Liangping, waiting for his accusation.
"Mr. Ye, can you tell me if you saw anyone you shouldn't have seen last night?"
"Nope. Calmly replied, her tone was gentle, her dark eyes reflected Wen Liangping's angry facial features, and Ye Wanxi was like a stone sinking into the water, quiet and steady.
"Then did you know that the oil was destroyed overnight?"
"I just found out. ”
"You dare to say that it has nothing to do with you. Wen Liangping looked at Ye Wanxi's attitude and felt a sense of frustration that his anger was not taken seriously at all.
"It has nothing to do with me. ”
Ye Wanxi looked directly at Wen Liangping's eyes, not afraid of his momentum at all, speaking of which, except for her husband, or those extremely perverted people, such as Gao Xingong and the like, she has not been afraid of anyone.
"You!"
Ye Wanxi's gaze crossed Wen Liangping and looked at Xiao Peichen who was standing behind him, if Xiao Peichen also doubted her, she didn't know how to prove her innocence for herself.
Find the murderer who destroyed the oil burner?
Does it still make sense to find the killer now?
Looking at each other, Xiao Peichen's eyes were still deep and unfathomable, the deep water was still flowing, and all the uneasiness and nervousness were erased by his eyes.
He believed in her.
Often relieved in her heart, she directly bypassed Wen Liangping, who questioned her, she stood in front of Xiao Peichen and asked loudly:
"General, since the fire oil has been destroyed, what do we need to prepare to replace it now?"
Hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Shen Sheng raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that at this time, Ye Xi would actually ask the general this question, instead of proving his innocence to the general.
He looked at Ye Xi's side face, there was no guilt or shame on his face, a little bit of determination to try to think of a way.
At this moment, Shen Sheng suddenly understood why Xiao Peichen chose to believe in Ye Xi, such a person, frank and straightforward, worthy of being believed.
Xiao Peichen looked down at Ye Wanxi, those clear eyes, the emotions in his eyes were unobstructed.
"City Lord Wen, this is Gao Xingong's handiwork, and Ye Xi, he is not Gao Xingong's person. ”
His eyes glanced at the dark blue on Ye Wanxi's neck, these days, he had never mentioned this matter, nor had he dealt with the wound here, but from the frowning brow he had when he ate and swallowed, he could know that his throat was actually very painful.
"Oh, the prince said so, then I can't help but want to ask Mr. Ye, how did you escape from Gao Xingong's men, his methods are ruthless and vicious, Xia Guan really can't believe that he will spare your life, unless...... Unless you're one of his men!"
Ye Wanxi was slightly stunned, she didn't know how to answer this, but there was no need for her to explain to Wen Liangping, she was even fooled by Xiao Peichen's side, there was no need to explain to Wen Liangping so seriously.
Therefore, Ye Wanxi glanced at him very coldly, and her voice was even more indifferent:
"Am I one of his?
In a word, choked Wen Liangping to death.
Ye Wanxi's question, Wen Liangping could only say that it was not worth it, and he felt sorry for him.
Ye Xi is smart, Xiao Peichen has always known that he has not done it before to choke others to death with a word.
"Since the oil is gone, the king plans to replace it with thick water, and since it is also ignited when it meets fire, it can naturally replace the oil. Xiao Peichen said.
Wen Liangping thought about Xiao Peichen's plan for a while, then shook his head and said with a worried face:
"Lord Wang, the thick water is black and thick when it is boiled, and besides, we have never heated the thick water, I don't know if there will be other changes, at that time, if we kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, how is it good?"
"Then what does City Lord Wen think?" Xiao Peichen was also lazy to persuade, and asked directly, since this method does not work, then you can think of a way.
Wen Liangping heard Xiao Peichen ask like this, so he slowly said the method he had thought of in his heart:
"Lord Wang, although this method is a bit ridiculous and far-fetched, it is better than the thick water that I don't know what it is.
We can collect vegetable oil from all households, and transfer vegetable oil from other places in the future, even if it disturbs the people, but there is a country first and then a family, I don't know what the prince thinks?"
Ye Wanxi couldn't believe that Wen Liangping had come up with such a frenzied method, using vegetable oil, well, it was indeed a method, but it was just a chicken method.
Xiao Peichen listened to Wen Liangping's so-called good strategy, his thin lips pursed slightly, and after a while, he said:
"Does the government have vegetable oil storage?"
"Yes, it's just not much, and it can't be used for combat at all. Wen Liangping immediately returned.
Xiao Peichen nodded, the wrinkle between his eyebrows stretched slightly, and said, "Be prepared, don't bother the people first." ”
Ye Wanxi's fingers pressed her palms slightly, in order to control herself, in case she couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, this is not good, it is too bad to give Wen Liang a face.
It's just that what kind of thick water is, what is it, how can it sound, especially like something she knows......
Ye Wanxi looked at Xiao Peichen, then at Wen Liangping, who looked worried, and said in a serious tone:
"General, what exactly is thick water? Can you show me?"
Xiao Peichen's eyes lit up, how could he forget Ye Xi, looking at Wen Liangping, who had an extremely bitter face, his voice was raised a little:
"City Lord Wen, bring the thick water and show it to Ye Xi. ”
Xiao Peichen's voice pulled Wen Liangping, who was thinking alone, back, but Wen Liangping said helplessly:
"Back to the prince, the thick water in the city lord's mansion is gone, that thing is useless at all, and it is also very dangerous, the prince ......"
"Then go straight to the place where the thick water comes out. Xiao Peichen impatiently interrupted Wen Liangping's words and said directly.
Wen Liangping opened his mouth, wanting to stop the words, but he didn't say it, Xiao Peichen is very impatient now, and he has repeatedly blocked Xiao Peichen's decision, he is dead.
"Well, I'm going to see if there's enough water somewhere, and I think it's a good substitute for the ruined oil. Ye Wanxi likes Xiao Peichen's decisive attitude, and she also feels very irritable about Wen Liangping.
That place was some distance away from the City Lord's Mansion, and Ye Wanxi looked at the tall and handsome outside the City Lord's Mansion, and subconsciously her legs became weak.
"Come up. Xiao Peichen sat on the horse and stretched out his hand towards Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi grabbed Xiao Peichen's hand, felt a huge force pulling her, and after the world swirled, she was already sitting in Xiao Peichen's arms.
Wen Liangping, who was riding behind Xiao Peichen, opened his mouth, looking at the scene in front of him, and was shocked in his heart, it turned out that this Ye Xi was actually the prince's ......
"Don't think about it, Ye Xi doesn't know how to ride a horse, the prince just takes him for a ride. Shen Sheng explained in a timely manner.
Wen Liangping breathed a sigh of relief and clutched the reins tightly.
Running wildly all the way, Ye Wanxi gradually smelled a thick pungent smell in the air, and a touch of joy jumped on her dark eyes, could it really be ......
"Lord Wang, there is a wasteland with thick water in front of you!" Wen Liangping's intermittent voice sounded behind him.
Xiao Peichen slowly reined in his horse, the ground under his feet was a little soft, and the pungent smell here became more and more obvious.
Xiao Peichen dismounted, and then subconsciously hugged Ye Wanxi and got off the horse, Wen Liangping's three views behind them were ravaged again, and even Shen Sheng, who was used to seeing such a scene, felt that there was some ...... Not quite right.
General, isn't he too intimate with Ye Xi.
Where did Ye Wanxi and Xiao Peichen know that the people behind them had this kind of thought, Ye Wanxi couldn't wait to see what the thick water was.
And Xiao Peichen saw Ye Wanxi's fascination, and wondered in his heart that Ye Xi might know what thick water was, so he quickly followed Ye Wanxi who was running in front.
Shen Sheng naturally had to hurry up with Xiao Peichen, who was his master.
As for Wen Liangping, the official level crushed people to death, not to mention that Xiao Peichen is the position of the prince.
Ye Wanxi saw that there were people guarding in front, and there was a circle of thread outside, and the pungent smell here couldn't even blow away from the wind.
"Lord Wang, the front is the place where the thick water appears, the ground may sink, you have to be careful!" Wen Liangping panted and ran at the end, seeing Xiao Peichen getting closer and closer to that place, Wen Liangping couldn't help but shout.
When Xiao Peichen heard this, he immediately flashed forward, grabbed Ye Wanxi's arm, and said in a deep voice.
But at this time, Ye Wanxi couldn't listen to these things at all, because she had already seen the so-called thick water.
The people who were originally guarding had already retreated, and in front of Ye Wanxi were some potholed ground, and those pits were filled with a black-brown viscous liquid.
Ye Wanxi felt the pungent smell in the air at this moment, ah, it was the smell of RMB.
"Oil, !!" Ye Wanxi fell directly to the ground, Xiao Peichen was defenseless, and watched Ye Wanxi fall to the ground.
However, Ye Wanxi didn't care about this at all, she carefully supported her body, stretched out her hand and dipped some oil back, her black eyes were like two bends of the moon.
"General, do you know what this is?" Ye Wanxi's hands were pitch black, but there was only joy on her face, and a pair of dark eyes actually made Xiao Peichen look confused.
Xiao Peichen recalled what Ye Wanxi shouted just now, and guessed: "Oil?"
“bi
go!" Ye Wanxi got up from the ground, patted the dust off her body with a clean hand, and explained to Xiao Peichen, "Oil is a fuel, and it has another name, called black gold. ”
"Black ...... Gold?" Xiao Peichen frowned, his eyes fell on the black-brown oil, thoughtful.
"That's right!"
