Chapter 223: Confession

"Say it! Who are you? Lu Xiaoqi crossed his arms and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two "strangers" glanced at each other, and they didn't expect that a little boy would ask them, obviously, they didn't look down on Lu Xiaoqi, who was only as tall as their chest.

"Who is your chief here? Take me to him! The two raised their heads arrogantly, as if it was Lu Xiaoqi who was now tied with their hands tied, not them.

When the fishermen saw that these two guys were so rude to the "Son of God", they were immediately unhappy, if it weren't for their simple nature, they would probably have started beating people!

"Before you is the Great Son of God!" A fisherman couldn't help but say.

"Hahaha!" When the two strangers heard this, they immediately burst into laughter: "This child? Son of God? Sure enough, it's a remote ravine, what does 'God' look like in your eyes? ”

"Let me ask again, who are you and what are you doing here?" Lu Xiaoqi pointed to the taller person on the left, "You answer!" ”

The man naturally didn't answer, but looked at Lu Xiaoqi with a smile, and he looked like "what can you do to me".

"Baa !!"

The big black sheep ran a run, turned around beautifully, and then raised his hind hooves, kicked hard, and accurately hit the two balls of the tall man, the tall man's eyes bulged outward, and his face turned red, because his hands were tied backwards, and he couldn't cover them, so he had to bend down like a shrimp, and he couldn't make any sound in his throat, and it took a long time to scream.

This was not instigated by Lu Xiaoqi, so even he was dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hold back!" The big black sheep said, of course, listening to the ears of others is just a soft sheep cry.

Several fishermen secretly said in their hearts: Sure enough! It is worthy of being a god sheep! This spirituality can't be wrong!

The shorter foreigner suddenly stopped doing it and cried out, "You are an animal trainer? Don't think it's great to be able to tame animals, you can only fool these farmers! No wonder they call you 'Son of God', I tell you, you'd better call your leader here, or you'll regret it!" Although he screamed loudly, his frightened expression betrayed himself.

Facing the outlander who was very angry, Lu Xiaoqi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, but due to the height problem, it looked a little funny like a child pretending to be old and imitating an adult-he is only a little more than one meter four tall now.

But even so, the thigh of the foreigner who was slapped on the shoulder twice by Lu Xiaoqi still shook unnaturally twice, not because Lu Xiaoqi had great strength, not because he was afraid of him, but because he saw the big black sheep looking at his eyes, it was too terrifying, as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast!

That's not the look a goat should have!

"O Anu! Could it be that this is a beast in sheep's clothing?! The stranger didn't dare to look into the eyes of the big black sheep anymore and muttered to himself.

"We just thought the valley was beautiful, come in and have a look!" Despite the apprehension in his heart, the shorter foreigner still intends to lie and deal with the past.

"I don't believe it!" Lu Xiaoqi said lightly.

"Huh?" "Ah!!h The stranger didn't expect Lu Xiaoqi to "return in seconds" like this, and opened his mouth in surprise, but the next moment, his mouth opened to the boss - he followed in the footsteps of his companions and was also attacked by the big black sheep!

"Let's be honest! Don't take people for fools! Lu Xiaoqi pointed to the tall man who hadn't eased up again: "It's still you, I'll give you another chance to say it first!" ”

The tall man was startled, he didn't want to take another beat, so he nodded hurriedly: "I said I said!" We are merchants from Uruk City, and we are here...... Come here to see the salt mines! ”

"Salt mines? What do you mean? Lu Xiaoqi asked, there is indeed rock salt in the mountain village, but it should be quite common! You don't need to find this place, do you?

Besides, how did these two men know that there was rock salt here?

"We heard that there is a high-purity salt mine here, which is white and flawless, with uniform grains and a good taste!" The stranger said.

Lu Xiaoqi was stunned, the salt that the outsiders said is here, but it is all obtained after the processing of rock salt, and it is not natural.

"Who did you listen to?" Lu Xiaoqi asked with a strange expression.

"Your own people say it!" The stranger replied, "More than two months ago, there was a man who was selling in our city of Uruk, and in addition to some sheepskins, seeds, fruits and vegetables, he also brought a kind of clean table salt that no one had ever seen before!" Because he was a person, he didn't bring much goods, especially salt, which he only had three bags, and he didn't sell them expensively, and each bag could be exchanged for spices of equal weight or a bronze farm tool, so he sold it quickly. ”

"Someone gave the exchange of white salt to a nobleman, and he liked it very much, and after inquiring about it, he found the salt seller, and invited him into his house, hoping that he would provide more salt" The stranger continued: "The salt seller said that the salt was produced in his hometown, and there was no more on him, and the nobleman wanted to send someone to follow him back to get it, but he refused to say that his hometown does not accept outsiders, and it is inconvenient to bring people in!" ”

The nobles promised to exchange beauties and slaves for him, and if he returned to his hometown with the nobles and found a salt mine, he would give him 20 beauties and 300 sturdy slaves, and that he could live in the city of Uruk, but the salt sellers refused. The nobleman lost patience and cut off one of his fingers to force him to comply, but unfortunately he refused to cut three in a row. ”

"There is no way, the nobleman can only deliberately let him go, and send someone to follow him quietly, in order to prevent him from talking nonsense after returning to his hometown, the nobleman asked him to cut off his tongue, and we, who were told the address by the person who followed him, were sent by the nobles to find here!"

Lu Xiaoqi now understood why the new priest was so miserable when he came back.

Of course, he knew the importance of salt, and in ancient times, for a good salt farm, no matter what region, war could break out.

For example, in Huaguo, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong lifted salt and Kechu.

It's just that I didn't expect that the nobles of Uruk City mistakenly thought that the salt mines naturally generated here were so pure, so they coveted them.

The new priest is a backbone person, it is useless to seduce beauty, it is useless to torture, and without Lu Xiaoqi's permission, he did not reveal the method of purifying rock salt, but it is a pity, after all, it is the first time to go out of the village, he has no experience, and he does not know if he is followed.

Sure enough, "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty"!

"This is not far from Uruk City, that nobleman is determined to get here, he must do it before other nobles to take possession of this place, I think, before we go back to report the situation, his slave team will soon set off!" The stranger seemed to forget the pain just now, and became proud again: "That slave army, but it once followed the great king of Uruk and won battles!" (To be continued.) )
