Chapter 205: Goodbye Oil
After taking Helan Mountain, Meng Yifei must investigate the resources of this land.
The land seen so far is satisfactory, suitable for building and production and grazing. Nothing will happen overnight, so Meng Yifei is also very patient.
It will take about two months for the migrants from Loulan to arrive, and before doing it again, Meng Yifei has to help them solve their life problems. There should be no problem in surviving here, you can hunt, you can eat wild fruits, it's really not good, he Meng Yifei has already prepared.
Early in the morning of the second day, Meng Yifei woke up from his sleep, and several people spent the night in the cave, which can shelter from the wind and rain, which is very good. However, Meng Yifei's body bones are far inferior to those of the sword mantis, and it is easy to get sick when sleeping in such a grass-like environment.
What Yifei didn't expect was that Sang Zi took the initiative to ask to sleep with him, which was definitely something that Meng Yifei never dreamed of.
Strictly speaking, Sang Zi is much older than Meng Yifei, and people more than 200 years ago, when Meng Yifei's grandmother rubbed it more than enough. However, because it has been frozen for two hundred years, Sang Zi's face has always been at the age of twenty-eight and his youth is eternal.
Sleeping in Sang Zi's arms, there is a feeling of being held in Xuan'er's arms. There is a kind of sisterly warmth. Meng Yifei even began to suspect that he had a sister fetish. But fortunately, Linglong is smaller than herself, otherwise it really proves this idea.
And the knife mantis and the others left the cave last night very interestingly, saying that they wanted to investigate the situation nearby. For the sake of their people, they really do their best!
In their eyes, Sang Zi will become their princess sooner or later, and even Anda completely agrees with this matter, so they are very interesting.
But it's a pity that nothing happened that night, Meng Yifei was so tired these days that he fell asleep, regardless of whether he fell on Sang Zi's chest or not, soft. It's really good.
Sang Zi didn't sleep all night, just looked at the little man in his arms. In his small body, there was such a powerful power, and he really did it, what they couldn't do for ten or two hundred years, he did it in just half a year.
couldn't help but touch Meng Yifei, who was the face of the king of pawns, and Sang Zi was so moved that his eyes were full of tears.
"Are you really the Helan Mountain you laid down for me?" Women will be touched by sweet words, especially such sweet words.
Sang Zi remembered what Meng Yifei said to her on the back of the horse that day: You are my princess, and I will build a kingdom for you.
If Meng Yifei really did it for himself, he would do whatever it took to lay down Helan Mountain. So what reason does Sang Zi have to be reserved? If it goes on like this, not only will Meng Yifei's patience be consumed, but both of them will be in pain. Maybe the position he gave in his heart will also be gone.
And Yifei himself really didn't have the heart to spend on women in the past two days, and he was finally able to avoid the fireworks and run out to investigate, and he won't go back for the time being.
Meng Yifei, who woke up, plunged headlong into the major events of the investigation again.
"Well, now we're heading south, hopefully by nightfall to the south of the mines." After Meng Yifei got up, he stretched his waist. I took a deep breath of the unique fresh air of Helan Mountain, and this day was full of energy.
With that, he mounted his horse. Go the other way.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go back the way you came?" Seeing that Meng Yifei was flying into a different path, the sword mantis couldn't help but be puzzled, although he understood that Meng Yifei's thoughts were not something they could understand.
Yifei listened. smiled: "One, if you go back the same way, when you reach the Lingting Canyon Plain." We will not be able to move an inch. Second, there is no need to look at the place that you have seen a second time, save time, we go down from the southeast, maybe there will be another discovery, right? ”
"Ah, to the southeast, but there is a swamp in that direction, and the water in it is all black, and we have no problem getting there, and the king's horse may not be able to cross it." The sword mantis said and took out the map and pointed it out to Meng Yifei, "It's this one, the range is not small, are we really going here?" ”
After the sword mantis finished speaking, he smiled proudly, he was finally able to make Meng Yifei change his mind. You must know that once Yifei decides, it is difficult to change, but this time, there is no choice!
However, after Meng Yifei heard this, he was even more excited: "Black water, swamp? Where, where? Take me there. Meng Yifei couldn't wait, there was only one word in his mind at the moment, oil, oil, open-pit oil, absolutely.
Without listening to the sword mantis, he lifted the reins and hurried towards the blackwater swamp in the southeast. After Sang Zi saw it, she followed, from now on, wherever this man goes, she will follow.
Han Ghost and Bi Long also followed, leaving the sword mantis stunned in place: "Don't be so stubborn, right?" "He hasn't figured it out yet.
The mountain road was winding, and Meng Yifei stepped out of the road that there was no road originally. The sword mantis and the others had seen the black water swamp, so they hurriedly led the way, because they found that Meng Yifei was extremely excited, and this was the first time that they were so excited. There must be some treasure in that blackwater swamp.
After nearly an hour, Meng Yifei finally rushed to the Blackwater Swamp under their leadership.
In front of me is an open and closed field, about the size of two football fields, which can be said to be surrounded by mountains, and it is not easy to find at all.
The mountains here are steep and the trees are quite lush, making it a standard basin and a pot. The rain doesn't drain out of the area, but there is no lake here, so it seems that there is very little rain in this area. The formation of depressions, combined with decaying trees, etc., forms a natural black water swamp.
This is open-pit oil, and Meng Yifei saw it once. Unlike other underground drilling oils, open-pit oils are basically free from a series of reactions such as distillation, filtration, catalysis, etc., and they can be used directly.
"Great, great." Meng Yifei was so excited that he jumped off the horse and walked down looking for his way. Seeing this, Sang Zi hurriedly followed in obscurity.
"Let's go along! It seems that the king has discovered something extraordinary. "Han Ghost is more observant of words and colors, Meng Yifei's expression, such excitement, must not be a simple thing.
Yifei landslides all the way, and finally almost fell to the bottom of the mountain with a rolling belt. His clothes were dirty, but when he saw the small black pool in front of him, he trembled with excitement.
These small pools are separated one by one. Only the middle haystack can walk. Yifei stepped on it without hesitation, it was thick and could bear his weight.
Then, he squatted down, looking at the puddle of black water in front of him, Meng Yifei scooped up a little with his hand, then tilted his palms and let them flow down again. The sheer black liquid also has a somewhat sticky, greasy feel. The corners of Meng Yifei's mouth were about to crack with laughter.
"What is this, Your Majesty?" The mantis tried to ask. Because he didn't understand, he felt that Meng Yifei was very wise. So many things will take the initiative to ask Yifei for advice. Of course, he wasn't the only one, everyone was puzzled.
"Go and make a fire in the distance, and I'll show you what it is." After hearing this, the knife mantis climbed to the top of the high slope, far away from the swamp, and with a wave of the horizontal knife, it hit the hard stone, and sparks flew everywhere. A fire was lit just like that.
Seeing this, Yifei immediately used his own bamboo kettle to make a bamboo tube of oil, and then took it to the fire where the knife mantis was born.
I found a damp stick. Oil is then poured over one end of the stick. Everyone looked at Meng Yifei intently, seeing what he was doing.
As a result, when Yifei placed the end of the stick poured with oil on top of the flame, there was a bang. The damp stick suddenly burst into flames, becoming a torch, and the flames were swirling. Burn all the time.
When everyone saw it, they smacked their tongues. Especially the sword mantis: "Your Majesty, this thing, can it burn?" ”
"That's right, it burns, whatever it is." Yi Fei looked at the torch in front of him and couldn't help but smile, "With it, in the future, we will be able to make steel, temper iron, and build the best weapons." Not only that, but it's also the main ingredient in my cure-all. ”
"The main ingredient of the elixir?" Hearing Meng Yifei say this, everyone was shocked. Several of them knew about the miraculous curative effects of the panacea, because they had tried it too.
"In short, this thing is a good thing, with it, our country will be able to become a powerful empire in less than three years, without being bullied by anyone. Do not look at the face of any kingdom. ”
"That's great, this place has to be protected, it has to be." The knife mantis was even more excited than Yifei. Not to mention that this oil has a myriad of functions, the mere fact that it can make a panacea is enough to excite him.
"Well, it does have to be protected. But this matter will be talked about at that time, there is no rush now, Helan Mountain is every inch of land, and there are treasures everywhere, so when the clansmen come, they will definitely be satisfied. Yifei laughed.
"Your Majesty, you are really the person I admire the most from the sword mantis, and it is really right to follow you."
"Hehehe, it's not that serious, it's all for everyone, and soon, Loulan will be re-established, and at that time, our situation will be precarious, and when it doesn't develop, the countries of the Quartet will covet our territory, and we will be extremely sad between them. So I hope to get everyone's recognition and affirmation, and get through the most difficult time together. ”
Yifei knew that once Loulan was established, maybe he would probably be useless, although he could control their holy bones, but if they insisted on getting rid of themselves, they only needed to assassinate them while they were sleeping.
He said that when everything was over, he would return the throne to Ziyao, but when he thought that he had paid so much, and the entire kingdom was created by himself, Meng Yifei was unwilling, so he regretted it. He didn't want to give up.
He didn't know what these people were thinking, but at least he could be sure that Sang Zi and Sword Mantis were on his side, so he would try his best to get the support of as many people as possible, and since the observation of Han Ghost and Bi Long during this time, they have gradually and completely accepted themselves.
The rest is another wave of people, that is, the second breath sent out by Meng Yifei alone, Sanxinzi, and Yuan Meng. These three people have a lot of opinions about themselves, after all, they are not from Loulan, and they think that Meng Yifei is not qualified yet.
That's why Meng Yifei will take the three of them away, take advantage of the time they left to lay down Helan Mountain, and then wait for them to come back and surprise them. I guess I'll be impressed! It should be!
Meng Yifei thought so. (To be continued......)
