Out of the building called [Earth], the outside was still empty, relying on memory, I finally walked out of the Dark Prison Mansion, and then looked up at the sky, and the sun climbed to the center at some point.

Bai Sha waited in the carriage for some time, but without the slightest sign of impatience, he sat cross-legged on the carriage frame, not moving.

"Xiaobai, it's time to go back."

Bai Sha opened his eyes and saw Hu Xiu coming out alone, so he didn't ask more, and when Hu Xiu got into the carriage, he became a coachman again.

It was as if nothing but his sister could cause him to have a mood swing. When he arrived at King Hu's mansion, Hu Xiuyue got off the carriage and went to find Chen Daosheng, he still had some questions, and he hadn't asked them yet.

Knowing more is better than knowing less...

In King Hu's mansion, the place where Chen Daosheng and Tongmu lived was not far from Hu Xiu's courtyard, and they could be reached by trotting for a minute at most.

"Bang Bang~" Although he knew that this was his home, Hu Xiu still knocked on the door very politely.

Soon, Paulownia came over and opened the wooden door, revealing a small head. walked in, and Chen Daosheng was sitting in the room, his clothes were still the same.

Hu Xiu frowned, but he had forgotten that they had just returned from the mountains and had not returned home, how could they have a change of clothes?

"His Royal Highness." Chen Daosheng saw that Hu Xiu had come in, so he quickly stood up and bowed. He was right to respect him so much, and now in Ping'an City, no one knew that Hu Xiu was about to send an envoy to parade.

It is clear that when Hu Xiu returned, it was when he ascended the throne and became emperor, and he went out on patrol for two years, but usually the emperors of previous dynasties were not so punctual, about two to three years.

There was even a prince in the history of Hu who went on patrol for five years, because he didn't want to go back to be the emperor. In the end, the reason for going back was that his father deliberately cheated to death and deceived people back, otherwise it would have been delayed even longer.

"No need to be polite, I'm here to ask you."

"But why did I go to the mountains?"

"Yes." Hu Xiu nodded, he likes to deal with smart people, but he is also afraid of smart people, because they think more carefully, have more ideas, and become more uncontrollable.

"Because of this." Chen Daosheng turned around and took out the basket he had carried before.

Hu Xiu knocked inside, a pile of earthy yellow stones, some large and some small. It is not the same as Tian Huangshi, and one of the main characteristics is that this stone is much darker than Tian Huangshi.

"What kind of stone is this?"

Hu Xiu squatted down and held a piece, thinking that he would be very heavy and thick, but with a slight force, it seemed to be crispy and turned into broken stones.

"It's a dragon stone, also called earth stone, and some people like to call it a clod of earth, because although it is a stone, it is too fragile, and people with more strength can crush it." Chen Daosheng saw Hu Xiu's appearance and hurriedly explained.

"You went to the mountains and found this?" Hu Xiu raised his hand and smelled the smell on his hand, there was still the smell of the stone just crushed, a smell of earth, nothing special.

"Yes, it's this thing, it's not easy to find, I walked with Tongmu for a few days to find these ones."

Chen Daosheng pulled over the paulownia wood and touched his hair dotingly.

"It's rare." After looking for several days in the mountains, a basket was only half loaded, probably because of the lack of it.

"It's not rare, but in a sense, it's a lot." Chen Daosheng laughed.

"Can't find it?" Hu Xiu also smiled indifferently, since there are many such things, but he has not been able to pick up enough earth dragon stones, there is only this explanation.

"Shizi is right, there are pits in the Earth Dragon Stone, and most of them are now controlled by some big families."

"This kind of stone that crumbles when pinched, what do they want to do."

The dragon stone wall must be not solid, used in decoration, it is so dim, uglier than Tian Huangshi, it is impossible to achieve someone like it, unless there is something special to like it.

"It's a medicine stone, and it can be used to stop bleeding."

"It's like notoginseng powder?" The effect of Panax notoginseng to stop bleeding is very good.

"The efficacy is much worse than Panax notoginseng, but it is more expensive in quantity and energy production. Set a price that is neither high nor low, and most people can afford it. ”

"Then what are you going to do in the wilderness to find this?" Hu Xiu didn't believe that he was going to find this and bring it back to sell for money, and he heard from Liu Xianyi's mouth this morning that this dragon stone and explosives seemed to have something to do with it.

"I have improved the formula of the fire that the prince gave me, adjusted a certain proportion, and the power of the fire is much greater than before. This dragon stone was accidentally discovered, and when I took the sulfur powder that day, I accidentally added it to the dragon stone powder.

Later, although they were separated, they were not cleanly separated, and finally a little sulfur powder was added, and after ignition, the explosion produced increased.

After many experiments, it was found that it was because of the addition of dragon stone powder. But the dragon stone powder is not very cheap, and there are still a few dragon stones in the mountains, so I came up with the idea of going to the mountains to find the dragon stones. ”

"Then have you ever told anyone about the Dragon Stone and the Fuhuo? And who did you tell about your trip to the mountains? Hu Xiu narrowed his eyes, this is the crux of the matter.

"When the fire was ambushed, most of the people in the Relic Pavilion knew a little, and the movement of our explosives was too big, and there was no way to do it. As for when the dragon stone and I will go to the mountain, I reported it, and there is a backup on it. ”

"When you come back, you can also back up." Hu Xiu said with a smile.

"Yes, this one has a backup."

"That's right." Hu Xiu's heart was stable, his previous guess should be correct, it was the people from the Relic Pavilion who leaked the news.

"You live here first, it's not safe outside."

"Isn't it safe for me?"

"No, it's not safe for the formula."

"Gewu is little Doyle..."

"You don't believe it."

Chen Daosheng was stunned by Hu Xiu's words, and he didn't know who said it first for Xiaodao.

"In the afternoon, I will call Tie Niu and Uncle Baal, as well as some guards in the house, to accompany you to carry your luggage back."

This kind of all-round protection, Hu Xiu himself does not have such treatment.

"Your Royal Highness, I still have to go back to the Relic Pavilion, I have written down several studies on the fire in my notebook, and I have placed them there.

Since you are going to live here for a long time. I'm going to have to keep experimenting, and if I didn't have that book, I'd have wasted a lot of time. ”

The Relics Pavilion, Hu Xiu hesitated a little, now it is estimated that the Secret Prison Mansion has already begun to act, and letting Chen Daosheng go back is likely to startle the snake. Thinking of this possibility, he shook his head violently.

"What's your notebook, where did you put it, I'll help you get it back tomorrow." He can't afford to lose a big deal because of a small thing.

"In the gap between the two layers of planks on my bed, I have to open the planks with a special technique..."

"Is there any other way?" Hu Xiu said hurriedly, but he is also powerful, this special technique can be regarded as a trick?

"You can smash the plank, but the plank and the bed are one and the same force, and if the plank is smashed, the bed will also be broken together."

"Will the books in there break?"

"No, it won't."

"Oh~ then it'll be fine." Anything that can be solved by brute force is not a big deal.

“……”

Before then, Chen Daosheng and Tong Mu and two strong men, plus a group of soldiers in armor left Hu Wang's Mansion, and surrounded people impenetrable along the way.

The pedestrians on the road thought it was a big man, and they didn't dare to approach, but they didn't know that the two people who were protected, one was just a disarming person who didn't enter the stream, and the other was just a disarming person who didn't even count as a disarming.

And at the same time, the planners of this event.

Ping'an City found out of the secret room, the door slowly opened, and a big man strode in, it was an ugly slave, and there was a person behind him, judging from his appearance, but he was in his twenties.

"Yan Yun, it seems that there are some mistakes in your plan, you said that you easily got the formula for ambushing the fire, how did you get the secret prison mansion in the end, it seems that you still locked up the Yan family's waste son Yanwen.

At this level, the old man of their family has to be forced to hurry, if it is a little bigger, and the Yan family and the royal family go to war, is this considered a crooked fight? Hahaha~"

The young man in the secret room laughed and said jokingly to the man at the door of the secret room, without the slightest frustration that he had not been able to get his hands on the fire.

And the man also raised his face, it was a young face, somewhat familiar, but it was not Yan Yun, who was imprisoned in Taichang Temple for killing Doctor Zhang, for some reason, he appeared in this secret room today.

Yan Yun listened to the young man's uncaring appearance, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked at the young man with a little contempt.

"This possibility is too small, the ancestor of the Yan family will die in a few years, but in their entire family, there has not yet been a second ninth-order master, and the Yan family is in danger! They didn't dare to jump out and bounce around at this time. Yan Yun shook his head secretly.

"Brother Yan, don't be so strict, I'm just joking. In other words, although that sentence is really wonderful, it is still somewhat useful, but he almost caused a rift in the relationship between the royal family and the Liu family.

But unfortunately, in the end, the topic was taken away. ”

The boy pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

"You say that, so I didn't do you a big favor this time?" Yanwen asked.

"How is it not a big deal, the more chaotic the royal family, the happier I am! Hahaha~"

The ugly slave seemed to be a little puzzled when he heard it, and there seemed to be something strange about the lord today, but he didn't know what was wrong, but after thinking about it, he was stupid and couldn't understand, so don't interject.

"Then I have fulfilled the conditions you said before?"

"Naturally, it's done."

The young man continued to smile and said, "The carriage to help you get out of the city is ready, and the household has already helped you resettle, and your name is still Yan Yun." ”

"Thank you." Yan Yun returned the salute and thanked him.

Yan Yun was taken down, and he didn't know where he went, and at this moment, there were ugly slaves and teenagers left in the secret room.

"Lord, we took great pains to rescue him, and then suppressed the prison escape, but in the end, people can't be used by us, isn't this a waste of work?" The ugly slave grabbed his ugly face and didn't understand.

"This person can't be used, he's just a poisonous snake, the blood is cold, and if you use it too much, you'll eat the Lord, otherwise why am I acting so stupid?"

The boy no longer laughed so much, and there was a coldness between his eyebrows and eyes, which was what he was under normal circumstances.

"Then what are you going to do to get him out?"

"This person is narrow-minded, he has no force, but he has some wisdom, although he can't be used by me, but as long as he can deal with Hu Xiu, he is an excellent person, and I still like to do things that add trouble to the future emperor of Hu State."

The young man saw the long term and tried everything he could to make trouble for Hu Xiu.

"What about the fire?"

"After the failure of this plan, Hu Xiu sent those two people who knew the formula to his palace, do you think there is still a chance?"

"You~"

"That's it."

The ugly slave left the secret room, and the door of the secret room was reopened, but after all, the young man still despised it.
