Wang Xu nodded: "Then who has the highest martial arts?" ”

This question stumped Haolin, he used to think that Gu Li's martial arts were the best, but some time ago at the gate of the southern capital he met a small official guarding the city, the little official's martial arts were excellent, but then he didn't stand guard there, Hao Lin didn't ask the name, until this time he couldn't find out who that person was, so he didn't dare to be sure that Gu Li was the first master.

"My lord, there is a little official with excellent martial arts in Nandu, but I don't know where he lives, and I don't know his name.

"It doesn't matter." Wang Xu waved his hand, since he knew that there was such a person, it would be much easier to investigate, if he could subdue a fierce general, then Nanjun and his party would not come in vain.

"From now on, you should hurry up and start the investigation, and make sure to find that little official."

"No." Haolin Road.

Since the day of its establishment, Jinyiwei has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but he has not been rewarded for a long time, such as the general banner of Jinyiwei in Dongjun, he provoked a big war between Dongjun and the imperial court, and his contribution is indispensable, but until now, he has not been rewarded. Wang Xu was also very guilty about this, looking at Haolin, Wang Xu said solemnly: "You Jinyi Wei have made outstanding achievements, don't worry, when the world is calm, I will restore your identity, and I will not treat you badly." ”

Listening to Wang Xu say this, Haolin was very moved, he often worried about this problem, Jinyiwei has been operating in secret, even if he has made meritorious contributions, there is no reward, this is really no motivation, now Wang Xu has said it himself, he has no worries.

"Don't worry, the subordinates will do their best and die!"

.............

The next day, Wang Xu and his entourage did not go to the south, but went to climb the mountain, the highest mountain 'Er Mountain'. This mountain is located in the territory of Guanshan. With an altitude of thousands of meters above sea level, it is extremely large and wild, and this mountain is still very famous in the local area. At the very top, there is the Gobi Desert, which is several miles wide.

Wang Xu's purpose is the Gobi Desert, and he wants to prove one thing!

The sun is rising. The sun is harmonious, shining on people, this kind of weather is very traveling, Yan Zheng, Zhang Meng, and Qin Shuang all followed behind Wang Xu and headed towards the top of the mountain.

"My lord. There is a Gobi Desert on the top of the mountain, what do you want to see? Zhang Meng asked casually.

Wang Xu smiled slightly: "Saltpeter! ”

saltpeter, a flammable substance, is necessary for the manufacture of explosives; Wang Xu thought about it, this kind of material should be in a geologically dry place, especially in the south, which is logically the most likely to appear.

In Nanjun and other places, there are many mountain peaks, and as soon as he heard that there is a Gobi Desert here, Wang Xu thought of a possibility. There should be saltpeter on the Gobi Desert.

If a large amount of saltpeter can be dug back to the Western Capital, the strength will be greatly improved, and there is no need to be afraid of the imperial court; It has to be said that the power of the bomb should not be underestimated.

"Lord, saltpeter is a kind of medicinal material, which can be bought in pharmacies, I don't know what it does?" Yan Zheng asked as he walked.

Zhang Meng and Qin Shuang both knew about this section, and Zhang Meng laughed and said: "Mr. doesn't know, this saltpeter is not just a medicinal material, for us." It is an extremely powerful secret weapon, and we relied on this substance to defeat Malan and capture Hexi County in the first place. ”

"Void! Don't talk about it, lest Hu Ling's spies know. Then we won't be able to get saltpeter. Qin Shuang whispered.

Wang Xu also nodded, but this matter was silent, if Hu Ling knew that saltpeter was a necessity for making powerful weapons, maybe he would immediately order all the saltpeter in Nanjun and Qingyuan County to be collected, and it would be difficult to do it at that time.

Yan Zheng didn't believe Zhang Meng's words. But he didn't say anything, just followed behind Wan Xingu.

.........

"Look, my lord, it looks like this kind of sand."

I don't know how long it took, the group finally climbed the mountain and came to the Gobi Desert, Qin Shuang immediately grabbed a handful of sand and said happily.

Wang Xu also grabbed a handful, there is an almost white material in the sand, that should be the so-called saltpeter, but it can't be used now, and it has to be refined, washed, and finally made explosives.

"Haha. Good. Zhang Meng smiled heartily.

After Wang Xu laughed for a while, his face sank, and now there was a great difficulty in front of him; There is a lot of saltpeter that can be mined here, but how do you bring it back to the Western Capital?

If you find someone to dig a lot, you will definitely be suspicious of Hu Ling, and in the end you can send it to the Western Capital, not necessarily, if you don't come to dig it, how can you achieve your goal.

Looking at Yan Zheng, Wang Xu said: "Mr. Yan, I want to dig all the sand grains on this Gobi Desert back to the Western Capital, I don't know what good plan you have?" ”

"Lord, is this Sally really useful?" Yan Zheng wondered, and from the look in his eyes, he obviously didn't believe it.

Wang Xu didn't say much, just kept watching, waiting for the right plan.

Guan Wang Xu's expression was firm, Yan Zheng didn't ask again, and began to think hard about it, this is indeed a troublesome thing; Wang Xu's whereabouts have been exposed now, not to mention that he came here to dig the soil, I am afraid that Hu Ling's spies will watch him at a meal, how can he complete such a project.

"Look, directly send a large army to camp here, how dare he Hu Ling boy?" Zhang Meng said disdainfully, in his eyes, Hu Ling was a coward, and in fact, Hu Ling was indeed like this.

However, Zhang Meng said that it was inappropriate to send a large army directly, in this way, wouldn't it be clear that Hu Ling was suspicious, originally coming here to dig sand and gravel was not very noticeable, but if the army came, this shows the importance of this matter, Hu Ling will definitely carry out an investigation, maybe the two families will have friction because of this, it is not worth it.

What Zhang Meng said was vetoed by Wang Xu.

"I see that the lord still has to go to Nandu, so I will ask Hu Ling directly, I think, he will not give it." Speak the right way.

After a pause, Yan Zheng continued: "In our eyes, this kind of sand and stone is extremely precious, but in Hu Ling's eyes, this is a pile of worthless waste stones. ”

Wang Xu frowned: "Can Mr. be more detailed?" ”

Yan Zheng nodded and said: "The lord can tell Hu Ling that there is a plague in my snowy county, and this saltpeter medicinal material is urgently needed to cure the disease, let him collect all the pharmacies in Qingyuan County and Nan County, and then it will be enough, and then we will let him send someone to dig on Er Mountain; As a reward, we can give them a certain amount of compensation, and I believe that Hu Ling will definitely focus on the overall situation and fully assist the lord to collect saltpeter. ”

Wang Xu was overjoyed, this plan was indeed wonderful, so he collected a large amount of saltpeter under the pretext of the plague, if this matter can be successful, even if he gives Hu Ling hundreds of thousands of iron horses for nothing, it doesn't matter, of course, if he can not give it, it is better.
