Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Squirrel Apocalypse

After returning to the room and looking at Su Zhi who was preparing the soap recipe for a while, the depression in Yun Lang's heart quickly dissipated.

Su Zhi had already figured out in his spare time taking care of the wounded soldiers that after the grease was mixed with caustic soda, there would be a phenomenon that Yun Lang called the saponification reaction.

Now, she has mastered the art of making soap very proficiently, and has discovered that when making soap, it will produce a pale yellow oil, which will be absorbed by the skin when applied to the skin, and the place where the oil is applied is very delicate and moisturizing.

She wasn't very interested in soap now, but when she heard that it was used for bathing and laundry, she was very disappointed with the results of her painstaking experiments.

Now, she's even more interested in glycerin!

Su Zhi, who has entered the working state, is not clingy at all, on the contrary, she needs Yun Lang to urge her to rest, so that she will stop what she is doing and coquettish Yun Lang.

Since discovering that soap bathing was a good thing, Cao Xiang had supplied Su Zhi with a lot of sheep's tails, and according to his plan, before returning to Chang'an, the cavalry captain would need to make at least a thousand boxes of soap.

Grease is an extremely precious thing for both the Han and Hu people, after all, whenever the food requirements are not met, it is definitely a great waste to use grease to make things for bathing.

Only a guy like Cao Xiang would put the importance of taking a bath above other people's food and clothing.

He Chou has now also worried about food and clothing, and a full ten days have passed, and they have almost searched the southern slope of Daqing Mountain, but they still found nothing.

This made He Chou very disappointed......

When the last handful of fried noodles entered his stomach, He Chou You was ready to take the wolves to try his luck again, as for the other sixteen embroidered messengers, now, only nine remained, and the remaining seven people were all buried in the belly of the beast.

Yan Changchun also had an indescribable sense of depression, he lost almost half of his good hands, and he didn't say anything, they even became a burden to his ancestors.

He was very worried that the angry Old Ancestor would punish them with a heavy hand, and as a result, after the news that nothing had been found, the Old Ancestor did not make any unnecessary moves except that his face became more and more ugly.

"If I haven't found Yu Shan today, you guys will leave first, and I want to continue to explore here for a while."

He Chou got up and threw the blanket on his body to an embroidered messenger who accidentally disturbed the hibernation of the bear and was caught by someone else, and said lightly.

"Subordinates are incompetent......" Yan Changchun struggled twice before he got up from the ground, ashamed and embarrassed.

"You have worked hard, I have seen it, just do your best, they all say that things are man-made, however, when manpower is always exhausted, we are just doing our best to obey the destiny of heaven."

After He Chou finished speaking, he kicked a wolf and walked into Lin Mang again with his hands behind his back.

"The old ancestor is not as terrible as the rumors......"

The embroidered messenger wearing a blanket whispered.

Yan Changchun shook his head and said, "It's because these days, the brothers have really tried their best, and the ancestors have seen it in their eyes, so they didn't blame us."

If we don't find it on a single day, we won't complete the military order in one day, and even if we go back, the ancestor doesn't blame us, but Shangguan won't bypass us. ”

"Sun Lianhai excavated the tomb of Mao Dun in Hook Mountain, and he has found nothing so far, does he still have the face to accuse us?"

Yan Changchun snorted coldly and said, "Slandering Shangguan, is this also something that our embroidered messenger can do?"

Aren't you afraid that people will be angry and angry and blame us? ”

"Big brother, the cause of these two things is the cavalry captain, since we have been searching hard and we can't find it, and Sun Lianhai has not found Mao Dun's coffin, will there be fraud in it?"

Yan Changchun sighed and said, "What if there is fraud?

The cavalry lieutenant found the coffin of the Mao Dun clan from Hook Mountain, and it has been confirmed that it is true, and the golden crown has been found, and it is Sun Lianhai who wants to take away the last merit from the cavalry lieutenant, so he is not allowed to continue excavation.

As for us, hehe, Yu Dan's whereabouts could not be determined in the first place, but it was after our investigation that Yu Shan might be hiding in Daqing Mountain, and this is why the ancestors worked tirelessly to come from the surrendered city.

On closer examination, none of the two things was proposed by the Lieutenant Cavalry.

Now, whether it is the coffin of Mao Dun or the big living person of Yu Dan, if they are found, the captain will make a great contribution.

If nothing is found, the sin is ours, not in the Lieutenant Ride. ”

"I heard that a blank document of my embroidered messenger appeared in the hand of Sima Yunlang, the commander of the cavalry, why is no one asking for such a big crime?"

Yan Changchun glanced at the subordinates who were speaking and said: "The blank document is from the noble Gillian, if you want to cure Yunlang's sin, you must first cure the guilt of the noble Gillian who took it without telling him."

Who do you think can convict Gillian nobles? Is it Your Majesty? ”

The embroidered messenger who spoke sighed, slammed his fist on the grass, and then closed his mouth and closed his eyes to recuperate, he was too tired to run around these days.

has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and He Chou has long developed a stable temperament that does not like defeat or is not discouraged.

Knowing that he might still find nothing today, he still leisurely searched in the pine forest, and the eight wolves formed a small encirclement around him, moving with him as he advanced.

Wolves are actually very intelligent, and the hunting habits they have cultivated over countless years have long fixed the position of each wolf when they are about to fight.

Since they were tamed by He Chou with violence, He Chou You has taken the place of the former wolf king.

This is a very large pine forest, and the pine canopy is like an umbrella cover, firmly and secretly covering the sky, and even if the snow falls, only a small part of it can penetrate the canopy and fall to the ground.

Because the sky is obscured by pine trees, there are few weeds on the land under the pine trees, only a thick layer of pine needles spread on the ground, like a carpet, soft to step on.

The pines in the trees were jumping up and down, and the wolves seemed to know that it wasn't on their diet, so they could turn a blind eye to the slightest distraction.

The squirrel is very familiar to He Chouyou, there are two tall Masson pines outside his residence in the palace, and there are two squirrels living on these two trees.

Watching them fight for pine cones, watching them reproduce, watching old squirrels drive away adult squirrels is like seeing a person's life.

In winter, squirrels are not very frequent, they have the habit of stockpiling food, and although they do not fail to come out in winter, they do not take foraging as their first priority.

He Chou You suddenly stopped, looked up at the squirrels who were constantly busy among the pine trees, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Ah, squirrels are so busy in winter, it seems to be a bunch of lazy squirrels."

He Chou muttered to himself, squatted down, picked up a pine cone from the ground, peeled off the hard scale armor outside, looked at the pine cone without a pine nut, and actually laughed.

A wolf suddenly roared in a low voice, and the smile on He Chou's face became more and more intense, and he threw away the pine cone in his hand and came to the wolf, and sure enough, he saw a fur hanging on the horizontal branch of the pine tree.

The probe took off the fur, although it was only the size of a palm, the fur color on the fur was still bright, and when it was blown slightly, a whirlpool was raised.

"Ermine Qiu—just torn like that?"

He Chou put the mink fur in front of a wolf's nose and let it sniff it carefully, and soon, when the eight wolves had sniffed the fur and were about to continue to charge, He Chou had stopped those wolves.

Vigilantly looked around, and then returned with the wolves.

The person who snatched the squirrel grain must not be Yu Dan, a Hun king who has been clothed and fed since childhood, and he does not need to obtain food through such means.

This can only show that Yu Shan still has guards by his side, although it is impossible to confirm how many guards Yu Shan has for the time being, He Chou You still thinks that he can't be impulsive for the time being, and after joining Yan Changchun and the other nine people, acting together is the best choice.

The advance was very slow, and the retreat was very fast, and after an hour he returned to the camp.

Facing Yan Changchun, who greeted him, He Chou said with a smile: "You can eat the reserve grain, and I have found the traces of Yu Dan." ”

He Chou put the fur in Yan Changchun's hand as he spoke.
