Out of the West City Gate of the Inner City of Xiyuan, the six of them rode all the way, except for the first time to run, the rest were basically extremely slow, because Zhu Xiaobao's horse was not good at running, and now the speed is a little faster than the walking speed of the whole adult.

After walking for almost an hour, Zhu Xiaobao felt that this place was indeed very desolate. Sparsely populated, the largest nearby is a fishing village, where hundreds of families live, but their fishing boats are very small fishing boats, they can't go out to the sea, they can only fish nearby, and the income is not high.

Further northwest is a beach, and a few miles down the road is a dense forest. Some hunters will go into the forest from time to time to hunt. But I don't dare to go too deep, there are too many beasts in it, and it's easy to get lost.

Walking along the beach all the way out of the jurisdiction of Xiyuan City, and also out of the border of the Great Xia Kingdom, there is a Lingyue Mountain, where the Lingyue people live. There is also a Lingyue Island in the sea not far away, which is said to belong to the same Lingyue people as Lingyue Mountain.

The soil here is not good, not suitable for farming, so there are not many people, most of the places are borderless, but there is a coal mountain, and people often go to pick up some coal and take it back to Xiyuan City to exchange money, but the income is not very high. In this era, firewood was still the mainstay. Zhu Xiaobao knew that it would be a long time before the coal stove appeared before it would gradually replace firewood! At present, the main use of coal is still for smelting. That is, blacksmiths use it more.

Along the way, Zhu Xiaobao also found some useful things, such as quartz stone, which can be used to process glass, but now he has no plans to do so, and there is an extinct volcano, and there is a lot of volcanic ash around it, which will be used in the future, and is the raw material for making cement.

Everywhere they went, Zhu Xiaobao picked up some stones, sand and gravel and other things, and soon, Ying Xiuxiu and their horses were already filled with several bags of 'tatters', although they didn't understand it, they didn't dare to ask more.

But Zhu Xiaobao seemed to be unsatisfied, and was still moving forward, Tong Wuxin and Ying Xiuxiu followed behind, and the four girls were able to find a topic by themselves and chatted very happily.

"Brother, are you looking for something? Tell me, I'm the best at finding things! Zhao Shenbao couldn't help but ask in the end, it was really boring to wander around aimlessly like this.

"Third brother!" Zhu Xiaobao looked back at the four girls, a little far away, so he asked in a low voice, "Do you remember the person who brewed the liquor?" ”

"Of course I remember, it's a pity that I was killed by His Highness the Sixth! It looks like I can't drink that kind of wine anymore! Zhao Shenbao said very regretfully.

"That's right! Still unintentional, it reminded me that if you have a life to earn, you have to have a life to spend! Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said.

"Ahh Brother, do you want to leave the Nineteenth Princess? Zhao Shenbao suddenly asked in surprise, and couldn't help but raise his voice a lot.

"Shhhh Be a little bit, who said I was leaving the nineteenth princess, I wanted to find a place of my own, and I still can't do without the princess in my current form! Besides, the princess is very kind to me, and I need to help her! Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly made a silent gesture before explaining.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Zhao Shenbao was a little confused, since he didn't want to leave the nineteenth princess, why did he have to find a place by himself.

"I guessed it, those toilet papers, soaps, and tea leaves were all made by me, and small-scale production is no problem, but now there are so many female soldiers, and the amount needed by the Seventh Princess, do you think I don't find a hidden place, is it safe? Sooner or later, someone will find out that I made all this stuff! Zhu Xiaobao said worriedly, this is not pretending, he is really worried, he has no martial arts, once he is targeted, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape with his life.

"Oh! I understand, if I were King Ming and knew that the soap was made by you, I would definitely send someone to arrest you! Why do you need to buy the nineteenth princess! Zhao Shenbao immediately understood the stakes. It is indeed very dangerous to put yourself in the shoes of Zhu Xiaobao and think about it!

"This is not the worst, if King Ming can't catch me, in order to interrupt the seventh princess's wealth, it will ruin me! If you can't get it yourself, don't think about it anymore! That's the most normal thought, right? In the end, Zhu Xiaobao broke out in a cold sweat on his back!

"However, even if you find such a place, once someone finds out, you still can't run, and you can't run even if you're blocked in the nest!" Zhao Shenbao thought about it, shook his head again and said. Zhao Shenbao felt that this method was very stupid, Zhu Xiaobao had this place, he would definitely have to show his skills, and when the time came, it would definitely be easy to find out. Rather than this, it is better to stay in the women's barracks, after all, there are so many female soldiers guarding around.

"Hey, hey! You don't have to worry about it, as long as you give me such a place when the time comes, I will take some defensive measures to ensure that no one can enter, including you, a thief! Zhu Xiaobao smiled and shook his head, if he wanted to do some defensive fortifications, he still had some way!

"Then I won't help you find it, snort, I can't even get in, so what am I going to do for you to find such a place?" Zhao Shenbao snorted a little dissatisfied, in fact, he was looking forward to it in his heart, and he really wanted to see what other amazing skills Zhu Xiaobao had.

"You can't sneak in, I can let you in openly! Why bother sneaking around! I'll tell you, if you can help me find such a place, I'll be able to get the last hard liquor! When the time comes, you will not take as much as you want! "In order to envelop Zhao Shenbao, Zhu Xiaobao has also made a bloody investment!

"Really? That's it! Don't go back! No, there is one more condition, you have to help me build a good knife! Zhao Shenbao's eyes lit up suddenly, the feeling of that kind of wine is really good, this guy can actually make it? Zhao Shenbao's heart was simply excited, but it was not in vain that he put forward one more condition for himself!

"Okay! If you like it, I'll give you this knife! Zhu Xiaobao agreed without thinking about it, and untied his knife with his hand, and wanted to give it to Zhao Shenbao. He didn't really like these killing tools!

"Don't! I want a knife that is shorter than Wu Yue's, you know I often have to track, spy, assassinate, and many times it is a close-quarters emergency, and I need a short, sharp weapon! Zhao Shenbao has a profound lesson at this point, just for the weapon to grow a little longer, before he had time to pull it out, he suffered a big loss, and almost died, so Zhao Shenbao is very concerned about his weapon, and has always wanted to find a very suitable weapon. It just so happened that Wu Yue's knife made him like it very much, but he still felt that it was a little longer!

"Alright! When I have the conditions, I will build one for you, and you can set the length and weight yourself! Zhu Xiaobao nodded, knowing that these people's requirements for weapons had reached a very strict level, and they would almost lose their martial arts!

"Little treasure! What are you talking about? It's getting late, are we going to move forward? At this time, Tong Wuxin urged the horse to catch up and asked.

"Huh? This is going back? I even want to see the beach! "Zhu Xiaobao looked at the sky, it should be four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and now it is really almost dark when I rush back.

"Who told you to be such a horseman?" Tong Wuxin said a little helplessly, in fact, if it were at their speed, they would have gone back and forth to the beach by now!

"Okay, let's go back first, picking up so many things can be regarded as a small gain!" Zhu Xiaobao also sighed, it seems that he really has to learn to ride a horse! Otherwise, it's too slow.

When he went back, Tong Wuxin thought that the horse was too slow, so he directly asked Zhu Xiaobao and Ying Xiuxiu to ride a horse together, and the horse was tied to the back and ran back with Kong.

When he ran back to Xiyuan City, something unexpected happened, the horse was actually tired to death, lying on the ground and foaming at the mouth, seeing that it was lifeless!

"Huh? Is this dead? It's worth ten taels of silver! Zhu Xiaobao said very depressedly.

"See? This is the result of not exercising and learning martial arts for a long time! Tong Wuxin couldn't help but laugh, implying that Zhu Xiaobao's martial arts were too poor.

"Wrong! It's because it's overworked! That's what led to the tragedy! I decided that I would never practice martial arts again! Zhu Xiaobao said confidently.

……

In the study of the nineteenth princess, Wu Yue was by her side, and the nineteenth princess was not in a very good mood, that is, she was relieved, she received more than 1,000 taels of gold yesterday morning, which gave her a chance to breathe. But thinking about the nineteenth princess in her own dignity, she is not as deterrent as a Zhao Shenlong. It's very depressing. This time it was Zhao Shenlong who helped solve the difficulty, but what about next time? Do you invite people to come every time, not to mention that they are completely entrusted by Zhu Xiaobao to make a move!

It's been a month now, and in two months, King Ming will definitely embarrass himself about the forage, how to deal with it then? The nineteenth princess's heart was really very entangled, and she couldn't imagine that it was not so simple to gain a foothold in Xiyuan City.

"That Tong Wuxin, you must make friends, after all, it is the person of the seventh sister, and it still has a deterrent effect on King Ming." The nineteenth princess instructed Wu Yue.

"Yes! I think it's no problem, she has been completely attracted by Xiaobao's food now, and she has been living in Xiaobao's place for the past few days! Wu Yue said a little proudly, but suddenly a little worried, this copper Wuxin's appearance is not bad, and his martial arts are even higher than his own. Really, since you are beautiful, why do you practice martial arts so high!

"Little treasure! Alas, this incomprehensible little treasure! Well, by the way, yesterday I saw that the copper was unintentionally thrown on the ground doesn't seem to be toilet paper, right? And I watched her wipe her mouth with that kind of paper! Smaller than toilet paper and much whiter? Do you know what that thing is? Why didn't you tell me? The nineteenth princess suddenly thought of the napkin that was thrown on the ground, and couldn't help but ask, Wu Yue must know.

"Know! …… It's just that I think the name is indecent, so I didn't dare to tell you! Wu Yue was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly.

"Oh? What's the name of that paper? The Nineteenth Princess was even more curious.

"Called...... Call...... Backward Compatible"
