Chapter 561: The Return (I)

Finally, it was time to leave. Early in the morning, Qiu Baisheng came to see off the civil and military officials, which was already a very grand ceremony. But this time, the Great Khan Mo Ke never showed up. Even the Golden Dragon Hall of the royal court has never been there. Of course, Zhu Xiaobao also knew the reason for this, he didn't mainly come for the royal court this time, so he didn't care about these things.

However, Qiu Baisheng, the great master, was very cautious, and specially asked his junior brother Qiu Baiyan to continue to escort him, and when he got the first batch of salt, he returned with the convoy. Who would have thought that the seemingly inconspicuous salt has now become the most important resource of the royal court, which is related to the revival and rise of the royal court!

But today, Zhu Xiaobao obviously felt that these civil and military officials were very excited, the reason was that Prince Mo Han and Princess Mo Yu had appeared, and this was the first time in several years that the two of them had left the palace and appeared in front of all the civil and military officials.

Prince Mo Han also changed into a military uniform today, looking very energetic, sweeping away the previous listlessness and malaise, as if he had returned to the previous high-spirited and guiding Prince Mo Han!

And Princess Mo Yu is also wearing dark green soft armor, looking heroic, although she still wears a veil, but it can be seen from her agile body that she has also regained her previous ability! On the contrary, Mo Xiaojian, who was dressed in a hot and revealing uniform, did not pay much attention.

Everyone was rejoicing in the revival of Prince Mo Han and Princess Mo Yu. Even Qiu Baisheng, the great power teacher, was a little surprised, these two people actually changed so much overnight! With the comeback of these two people, the form of the royal court will be reversed very quickly! So Qiu Baisheng couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiaobao, could it be because Zhu Xiaobao had changed the two of them? Because he also knew about Prince Mo Han and Princess Mo Yu going to find Zhu Xiaobao last night!

"Huh! With everyone's warm send-off, this king will leave! Zhu Xiaobao arched his hand and said very politely, Zhu Xiaobao is still very satisfied with the courtesy of so many officials, at least it shows that these officials in the royal court still attach great importance to themselves! Of course, it once again shows that the royal court and himself are friends and not enemies. With the royal court as the backing, Jialanga should definitely not fight the idea of Lingyue Mountain again, at least Lingyue Mountain will be very safe for a year or two!

"Chitose! Bon voyage! The old decay is not far away! Qiu Baisheng also said.

"Xiaobao Chitose, don't worry, as long as there is Mo Han for a day, the royal court will be your friend, and it will never change! You tell her that I won't let her down! Prince Mo Han said.

"Haha! Then I'll see! Thank you for the BMW presented by Prince Mohan! Zhu Xiaobao also laughed loudly, it turned out that Prince Mo Han also specially asked someone to send a BMW, but in fact, Zhu Xiaobao was entrusted to give it to Murong Feng! Of course, there are some words between the two that only the two of them can understand!

When Zhu Xiaobao got into the carriage, he couldn't help but glance at Princess Mo Yu, but he didn't expect Princess Mo Yu to be silent, as if she hadn't seen it, and she didn't know what she was thinking when she lowered her head......

With a command, the convoy began to pull out, and as when it came, there were quite a few frames and people, plus Hachitu's chariots, horses and retinue, there were almost two thousand people! It's been pulled out in a big way.

Qiu Baisheng and all the civil and military officers were still saluting back, and Prince Mo Han asked a little strangely: "Imperial sister, why don't you speak?" Aren't you embarrassed? ”

"Can you handle it? I'm just too lazy to take care of this little treasure! Whoever is like you, still take him as an example! Tell you, learn something good, don't learn to be a scoundrel like him! Princess Mo Yu hummed very unceremoniously, in fact, Prince Mo Han's performance today has surprised her very much, but this prince is really not very good at talking, and now he asked a question that should not be asked.

touched his nose with ash, Prince Mo Han was a little embarrassed, but then Princess Mo Yu threw him a piece of writing paper, on which was a couplet:

The full moon is missing, the moon is lacking, the year is old, the twilight is dawning, and the sun is seen at the end of the night

Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and bloom, summer, summer, autumn and autumn, summer and summer are cool, and spring begins after the harsh winter

It turned out that Zhu Xiaobao was on the gift list given to Princess Mo Yu yesterday, and by the way, he gave the last couplet to the pair, so now Princess Mo Yu is a little disdainful and threw it to Prince Mo Han, which shows that Zhu Xiaobao is still a step higher, Prince Mo Han has thought about the link for several years, and people will give it to it in a few days!

"Huh? Really right? Well, it's perfect! Prince Mo Han took the sparring and repeated it several times, before he sighed and said, those civil officials also came over to watch, and they were all full of praise, even Qiu Baisheng shook his head and had nothing to say, he knew this Shanglian, but he couldn't be so neat!

While everyone was talking enthusiastically, they began to walk back, and the wonderful pairs of Zhu Xiaobao were still being transmitted, and the atmosphere was very warm. And those generals are all on Princess Mo Yu's side, they are all biased towards Princess Mo Yu, don't look at Princess Mo Yu's charming, but they are biased towards ruling the world by force, and those civil officials are biased towards Prince Mo Han!

"Don't look at me! Go back, the royal court will be turned upside down soon, you all get ready as soon as possible! Princess Mo Yu waved her hand and said.

"Yes!" These generals immediately replied loudly with excitement, and then whipped their horses and galloped away.

Only Princess Mo Yu and Mo Sang Xiaojian were left, and Mo Sang looked at Princess Mo Yu a little stupidly: "Let's go back too, shall we?" You're not leaving, are you? ”

Unexpectedly, Princess Mo Yu suddenly hit the horse, and the war horse under her crotch rushed out like an arrow, chasing towards Zhu Xiaobao's convoy......

It didn't take long to catch up with Zhu Xiaobao's car, and Jumei was going to stop it, but as soon as she saw the short knife in Princess Mo Yu's hand, Jumei let her go very well.

"Little treasures! You come out! Princess Mo Yu shouted very domineeringly, even those female warriors were a little surprised, and now no one dares to greet Zhu Xiaobao like this.

"Huh? Ha! Princess Mo Yu, why do you want to say goodbye again? You're so kind! "Zhu Xiaobao got out of the carriage and was happy when he saw Princess Mo Yu!

"Who wants to say goodbye to you, I ask you, what do you mean by giving me this knife?" Princess Mo Yu suddenly exclaimed a little angrily.

"Oh! Oh! You come, you come! I'll tell you quietly! Zhu Xiaobao also mounted his horse very neatly and walked towards the place where everyone was on the side.

"Humph!" Although Princess Mo Yu was very puzzled, she didn't want to be heard by these female warriors, so she had to follow to the side.

"Hee-hee! Bet you've lost, but you won't admit it. So I'm going to leave you a way out! In the future, if you can't find a suitable one and can't get married, you can come to me with this knife, and I will still admit it! Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile.

"Huh? You...... That's what it means? Princess Mo Yu was immediately disappointed, she thought that Zhu Xiaobao would take the opportunity to make a confession, she really wanted to think about it. I didn't expect it to be the back road left by myself. That means you have to follow him! So he was immediately annoyed and angry: "Zhu Xiaobao, you are too self-righteous!" I'm telling you, even if I can't get married, I won't come back to you! Drive! ”

After Princess Mo Yu finished speaking, she whipped Zhu Xiaobao's horse on the buttocks, and the horse immediately rushed out in shock. Then Princess Mo Yu whipped her horse and whipped away!

Zhu Xiaobao was turned upside down, and it took a while to control the horse, and he was already shocked into a cold sweat.

"Young master, do you want me to catch up and teach her a lesson?" Jumei rushed over and asked very annoyed.

"No, no, this prince has always cared about these little things!" Zhu Xiaobao got off his horse and prepared to return to the carriage again, and said as he walked: "It's still very beautiful! Princess Mo Yu is a fierce horse, not easy to tame! Jumei got in the car together, right? ”

"Don't! It's too small in this car, and it's not good to make too much movement when the time comes! Jumei shook her head seriously.

"Huh! I didn't say you had to do it when you got in the car! Zhu Xiaobao's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly got into the hemp carriage, this huge beauty is too straightforward! The female warriors next to her were already laughing! Zhu Xiaobao poked his head out of the carriage again, and said with a cheeky old face: "What are you laughing at? You want to be crooked, right? I mean, get in the car and get me a massage, and I ask again, who wants to get in the car? ”

"Woo ......" everyone booed the little treasures in unison......

Princess Mo Yu urged the horse to run back again, and saw that Mo Sang Xiaojian was still waiting there, so the short knife in her indignant hand was thrown to Mo Sang Xiaojian: "This knife is for you!" Hum! ”

"Yikes! Really? That's great? Sister, do you really want it? Mo Shan Xiaojian exclaimed in surprise.

"Less nonsense! Come back with me! Princess Mo Yu didn't look back, so she urged the Jockey Club Palace to go.

"Eh, is this a confession failure?"

……

On the way back, except for a day in Sand Lake City, there was no delay. There were no obstacles there in Jialanga, and the journey was smooth. When they arrived at Lingyue Mountain, they saw Yu Dan and Duanmuqi with people greeting them from afar! In fact, this time Zhu Xiaobao went for a long time, and Duanmuqi was a little anxious to wait! I was afraid that something would happen to Zhu Xiaobao, but now when I saw that Zhu Xiaobao came back safely, the big guys were relieved.

Hachitu also drove back to his tribe with his own people and cars, and this guy did not work in vain this time, he poured three batches of goods back and forth, and also bought three shops in the royal court, which can be regarded as a small harvest. But as soon as this guy came back, he stared at Zhu Xiaobao, he wanted to take over the work of transporting salt, which is not only a million profits, but also can bring some of his own goods by the way, it is definitely the best of both worlds!

It's just that as soon as Zhu Xiaobao came back, he began to get busy. Except for having a meal with Duanmuqi and others that day, he started to get busy the next day.

This middle Duan Mu Qi is the most depressed, he still has a lot of things to report to Zhu Xiaobao, but he didn't expect that Zhu Xiaobao would not be able to find anyone as soon as he came back! In fact, during this time, the situation really changed, and letters came from all sides, and Princess Island and North Zirui Kingdom had experienced several small-scale battles.

Among them, Princess Island suffered the greatest losses. Because of the water army led by Yang Batie, they are proficient in water warfare, and the geographical location is very familiar. Although Wu Yue has the hole card of 'Colorful Boat', he is still a little powerless in the face of more than 200 warships that appeared at once. In the end, he lost more than 50 warships, retreated to Princess Island, and stalemate for half a month, and then Yu Shuang and Yu Xue rushed to support with the warships, so they could barely hold Princess Island.

So when Duanmuqi found Zhu Xiaobao the next day, Zhu Xiaobao was leading a group of female warriors to salvage seaweed, and it was transported back by boat. Duanmuqi was a little confused, and he didn't know what Zhu Xiaobao wanted to do? At dinner yesterday, I patronized and said that Jumei had inherited the inheritance of the Divine Turtle, so I didn't have time to say anything about the royal court, also because I had to keep it secret. After all, this matter is related to the recovery of the royal court! If it is known by other strengths, it will inevitably be obstructed in every possible way!

"Hey! My Chitose, what are you doing here? Now Princess Island and North Zirui Kingdom are both in an urgent form, especially Princess Island, Wu Yue and they have already suffered a lot of losses! As soon as Duanmu Qi arrived at the auspicious three treasures, he shouted dissatisfied.

"Hmmm! I already know, it's okay, haven't you already sent Yu Shuang and Yu Xue to the rescue? That's no problem! When I'm done here, I'll rush back! Zhu Xiaobao also said with a calm face, he already roughly knew what was going on, and he failed to kill Yang Batie in the first place, which led to such a hidden danger!

"But what are you fishing for so much seaweed here? What is the form of the royal court now? I need to know the details before I can decide whether to transfer Yu Shuang and Yu Xue back? Duanmuqi said very entangledly, now Lingyue Mountain's manpower is a little stretched, so Duanmuqi must make a decision as soon as possible.

"There's no rush! Now I have 200,000 horses with me! That's enough, Jialanga and they will definitely not attack Lingyue Mountain again! Now you just need to guard against the king of the king! Zhu Xiaobao said very firmly.

Speaking of which, Zhu Xiaobao told Duanmuqi the details of the royal court, Duanmuqi was a little sluggish when he heard it, can he cure his illness by eating salt? I've never heard of this before! But looking at Zhu Xiaobao's appearance now, it's definitely not a joke! The key is that Qiu Baisheng has already paid all the silver tickets to Zhu Xiaobao!

The next two days were a bit empty, because the seaweed had to be dried before it could be burned into seaweed ash, which really contained iodine! Zhu Xiaobao is anxious about a group of craftsmen, although the four elders of the Du family are not here, but Duanmuqi already has a lot of reliable craftsmen here. In order to ensure supply, even the salt production of Lingyue Mountain has to be greatly increased.

Now the salt eaten in Lingyue Mountain is the sea salt produced by itself, and then purified refined salt, because the salt on the market is relatively coarse coarse salt, and Zhu Xiaobao is not used to eating it, so there is a processing workshop specializing in purifying refined salt in Lingyue Mountain. Now it's just in time!

Now the whole Lingyue Mountain is starting to be lively again, all of them are busy producing salt and salvaging seaweed, as well as kelp and other seafood, Zhu Xiaobao not only provides iodized salt, but also does seafood business. Among them, Hachitu also saw a huge business opportunity, he is the most willing to put the person who is busy, this seafood is low-cost, and it is very profitable when it is dried!

Almost everyone was busy, and the female warriors also took the opportunity to earn vouchers, and the commoners and slaves were not to be outdone, and they could also redeem vouchers. Think about a small Lingyue Mountain to provide salt for nearly 10 million people, so of course it is very busy! Duanmuqi calculated carefully, the profit in this can be described as quite amazing, and it is long-term!

However, the key process of refining elemental iodine is only operated by Zhu Xiaobao alone, and other people don't understand it at all! So even if they look at it, they can't understand the principle! So Zhu Xiaobao has been working very hard these days, but thinking that this is a good deed to save all people, I am still very proud in my heart!

Zhu Xiaobao worked hard for nearly ten days before he could be regarded as refining a few hundred catties of iodine, pressing it into powder, choking it in salt, and he iodized it according to the ratio of 10,000 to one. The first batch of 200,000 catties of salt has been prepared in the past few days! There were more than 200 trucks, and more than 100 trucks, which were filled with sun-dried seafood, half of which were Hachitu!

"This thing can cure the 'elephant neck' disease? Then should we also make up for the 'iodine' you mentioned? Duanmuqi looked at the gray salt in his hand and asked a little suspiciously. It turned out that in order to improve the curative effect and make more money, Zhu Xiaobao also mixed the seaweed ash into it, so the salt in his hand now is ash. This guy is still a profiteer at heart. Just mixed it up, and made tens of thousands of taels of silver!

"Of course, but we don't need iodine supplementation, we usually eat more vegetables and seafood, which is completely enough, and everything must have a degree. Exceeding a certain two is not a good thing either! Zhu Xiaobao said proudly, he had already seen the silver flowing into his pocket!

"Oh! I see. But with such a large fleet, will there be any safety hazards? Duanmu Qi asked with a little unease with you.

"Jialanga must be no problem there, and Qiu Baiyan will also go back with the car. However, before arriving in Shahu City, it was not far from King Ming's fiefdom, and this required someone to escort it! Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while and said.

"Well, I'll arrange this. Now King Ming is fighting with the Great Prince and His Royal Highness, and he shouldn't have time, and he doesn't want to offend us! Duanmuqi said with a smile.

"Oh? Is it really going to be a fight? When Zhu Xiaobao heard this, he immediately asked excitedly. Once the fight starts, it will be a good opportunity to take back Xiyuan City!

"Not necessarily! But you should focus on the Northern Zirui Kingdom now, I estimate that the battle between the Northern and Southern Zirui Kingdoms is not far off! After unifying the Zirui Kingdom, you can be regarded as a truly reliable foundation. Otherwise, the Southern Zirui Kingdom will always be a huge threat! Duanmuqi said very seriously.

"Hmmm! I plan to go back to North Zirui in three days! Stop by and take a look at Princess Island! Zhu Xiaobao also said approvingly.

"It's good! I've got all the necessary materials for you, all of which you need most! ”

"Oh? What material? ”

"Saltpeter!"
