The one-mile road was not very long, and soon, Tang Zhou and the others came to the saltwater lake that the guide said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The saltwater lake is so large that it is almost impossible to see at a glance.

At a glance, the water surface is like a mirror, and the blue sky and white clouds in the sky can be seen clearly.

However, the water surface is too calm, as if there are no waves at all, giving people the feeling of being dead all the time.

Around the saltwater lake, there is no grass, but a few places away from the lake, some grass grows, seeing this, Tang Zhou knows how salty the water in the saltwater lake is.

However, there is grass growing around, which means that although the water here is salty, it can also give birth to life, and the water in it is not fatal, but too salty.

After seeing this, Tang Zhou nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, Li Hu and Ma Qing ran over together: "Little Hou Ye, how can we drink this water?" ”

Tang Zhou smiled: "Do you remember the pots I asked you to prepare when I left Chang'an City?" ”

As soon as Tang Zhou mentioned the pot, several of them immediately remembered, when he left Chang'an, Tang Zhou made a lot of preparations, including those pots, but those pots were very special, they had never seen such special pots, and they didn't even think that those pots could cook.

"Little Hou Ye, what's the use of that pot?" Li Hu said, but Ma Qing immediately ordered someone to bring those pots over, Tang Zhou smiled: "This pot is divided into two layers, the lower layer is round and large, the upper layer is high and deep, and the salt water is put into the bottom, steamed with fire, and the fresh water is evaporated, and then the water vapor condenses into fresh water when it reaches the top, and falls into the deep layer of the pot again, so repeatedly, we can get fresh water." ”

In fact, people like Tang Zhou, who have studied chemistry, are very clear about water, the so-called salty water is just a mixture of pure water and some impurities, and the pure water of fresh water can be separated from other impurities by hot vaporization, so that fresh water can naturally be obtained.

The pots that Tang Zhou prepared at the beginning were very large, and it was very troublesome to transport them along the way, and Princess Wencheng suggested throwing them away, but this was something that Tang Zhou saved his life at a critical time, so he insisted on it many times, and now this pot finally came in handy.

After setting up a few pots, Tang Zhou ordered someone to put the water from the saltwater lake into the pot, then heat it underneath, and close the lid of the pot, so that after boiling for a while, open the lid and see, you can see that there is some fresh water in the deep pot inside.

When everyone saw this scene, they immediately became excited.

As long as there is fresh water, they will be able to leave this desert alive.

Everyone was very excited, and the excitement swept away the previous exhaustion, and when these pots kept making fresh water, Tang Zhou's side also began to make food, their food was not blown away much by the wind, some meat may have sand, but just wash it in the water.

Then make a fire and grill the meat.

In addition, there are some fish in the saltwater lake, which everyone can catch and eat, so that everyone feels an indescribable comfortable feeling when the meal is full.

After everyone had eaten their fill, they found a place to rest, while some continued to evaporate fresh water there.

Although the pot was very large, it would take a day and a night to get enough water for two or three thousand of them to get out of the desert, so the evaporation of fresh water could not be stopped, and some people had to take turns to make a fire and dump it, and no matter what, they had to get enough water.

And just when some people were getting fresh water, Princess Wencheng came to Tang Zhou's side.

"Little Hou Ye, you are really amazing, you can even turn salt water into fresh water, with this, we are not afraid of running out of water."

Princess Wencheng admired Tang Zhou too much, she suddenly felt that her previous life could not be called life, her previous life was too dull, and only during the days with Tang Zhou did she understand how people should live.

It's really not good for people's lives to be too bland, and constantly looking for excitement like Tang Zhou is the most important thing she should do.

Tang Zhou was praised by Princess Wencheng, and he was a little proud in his heart, although this was nothing in his opinion, but the worship and praise of the beauty was not something that man could be indifferent to.

"Her Royal Highness the princess praised falsely, but she just made some more preparations."

Princess Wencheng smiled: "Little Hou Ye is polite, although your invention is useless on weekdays, but in this case, it saved our lives." ”

The two of them were polite, the other was praised, and after saying it several times in a row, both of them suddenly felt very bored, so they shut up at the same time, and neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was suddenly embarrassed, Tang Zhou smiled bitterly, and said, "Let's talk about something else." ”

Princess Wencheng's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded: "Okay, what to say?" ”

Tang Zhou thought for a while and said, "It's better to talk about your previous affairs." ”

Tang Zhou suddenly wanted to know more about Princess Wencheng, and wanted to know how she used to live, why Li Shimin chose her to marry Tubo?

Asked by Tang Zhou about this, Princess Wencheng's face turned slightly pale, but she quickly calmed down, and said: "My name is Li Wan'er, and I am a distant niece of today's saint, my father was meritorious from the dragon and was given a knighthood, but unfortunately he died after a few years, and then Tubo sent someone to ask for relatives, although the saint did not agree at that time, but he sealed several princesses in a row, and I was one of them." ”

Although Li Wan'er only said such a short sentence, but what did it mean Tang Zhou already understood, at that time, Tubo attacked Tuyuhun, in order to avoid Datang from rescuing Tuyuhun, and then there was a desire to communicate with Datang, Tubo sent someone to Datang to ask for marriage, Li Shimin did not agree at that time, but he must have faintly noticed that Tuyuhun was strong, and he couldn't help him for a while, and he had a sense of harmony in his heart, but he couldn't really push his daughter into the tiger's mouth, so he could only find some school-age women from some Li side branches to canonize the princess.

Looking at the situation, it seems that these princesses have been favored all of a sudden, in fact, Li Shimin has long been ready to sacrifice them, at that time, those canonized princesses may not have noticed it, thinking that they flew on the branches and took good luck, but when the Tang Dynasty promised to make peace with Tubo, their bad luck came.

Among these princesses, Li Wan'er, who has no parental support and good appearance, has become a victim of the rectification of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

After understanding this, Tang Zhou was very sympathetic to Li Wan'er, but sympathy is sympathy, he didn't have the courage to end this harmony, or he didn't have the ability to end this harmony.

If the peace is terminated, it will inevitably hurt Tubo's face, even if Tubo feels that it is not Datang's opponent, but a battle with Datang is inevitable, right?

If a war is triggered because of his own behavior, even if Li Shimin favors him again, his life will not be guaranteed, and at that time, Li Wan'er's fate is not optimistic.

If he knew that nothing good would come of it, why would he change anything?
