"What did he do in the basement before he died." Guan Suo asked puzzledly,

The blue-eyed man replied, "This is the workshop where he made his armor, and he spent the rest of his life there." ”

Yang Hao didn't expect that there was such an embarrassing past here, and he asked the blue-eyed people: "What's going on with this iron factory, does it have anything to do with the old marquis?" ”

The blue-eyed man replied: "The old marquis is proficient in iron casting, he said that the quality of iron ore in the Central Plains is not good, and if you want to make good steel, you must have a set of superb iron-making technology, so he built an iron-making factory, using the smelting skills learned from various countries, after ten years of exploration, you can finally smelt good steel with inferior ores,

He dedicated this set of techniques to the imperial court's salt and iron envoys, hoping to help the Tang Dynasty's iron-making masters, and the salt and iron envoys deduced that there was an iron-making factory hidden in Jiulian Mountain, and he said that it was illegal to set up a private ironworks, and they must be stopped immediately, otherwise they would not be confiscated, and the marquis handed over the ironworks and the technology of smelting high-quality iron and steel from inferior ores to the salt and iron envoys, and he transferred them to the imperial court on his behalf.

Later, the Salt and Iron Envoy sent someone to take over the iron factory, and recruited slave laborers to expand it nearly tenfold, but he deceived us, the iron factory was not handed over to the imperial court, but has been profiting for themselves, and they also threatened us not to tell the truth, otherwise we would be driven out of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The situation mentioned by the blue-eyed people is roughly consistent with the source of Wu Chenglong's information about the iron factory, it seems that this is indeed an underground iron factory run by the Niu Party, and most of the salt and iron envoys are the backbone of the Niu Party, and the profits obtained by the iron factory may become the funds for the political operation of the Niu Party.

Yang Hao said: "You still have something to do with them now." ”

The blue-eyed man thought for a moment and replied: "It can't be said that there is nothing at all, we have to buy steel from them, and they hire our people as technicians, they are just a group of bureaucrats who see money, and they don't know how to smelt steel." ”

The doubts in Yang Hao's heart were gone, and he said to the blue-eyed man: "Take me to meet your marquis, I want to have a good chat with him." ”

The blue-eyed man looked at his disarmed companions in the valley and pleaded with Yang Hao: "Please give them some water and food, and please heal the wounded." ”

Yang Hao bowed slightly, at this time, a secret agent handed Guan Suo a drawing, Guan Suo handed him to Yang Hao, this is a simple map of the castle drawn by the secret agent of the intelligence room, the castle regulation is not big, but the fortifications are well repaired, Yang Hao handed it to the blue-eyed man, and asked: "Do you still have anyone who can repair this kind of castle now." ”

The blue-eyed man obviously didn't expect Yang Hao to have a sketch of the castle, and thought that there was a traitor leaking secrets, so he was nervous for a while, wiped his sweat and replied: "I am the architect, as long as there are enough stones and manpower, I can help the general build a new one within a year." Yang Hao smiled: "I will hire you as an engineer in the future." He turned to Suo and said, "Withdraw the besieging troops, and no one is allowed to approach without my orders." ”

On the way to the castle, Yang Hao asked the blue-eyed man about the name, age and hobbies of the new marquis, and the blue-eyed man replied briefly, and when he was about to arrive at the castle, Yang Hao remembered to ask the name of the blue-eyed man.

"Despicable Grus, the uncle of the Marquis of Freitley."

The Marquis of Fitley was only fifteen years old, blonde and blue-eyed, a very beautiful young man, he spoke very fluent Chinese, spoke an authentic Chang'an accent, danced with his hands when he spoke, and his spirit was flying, that is, the content of his words was a little unbounded.

Fei Telli didn't say anything about the war that had just ended, as if nothing had happened, Yang Hao thought at first that he was deliberately avoiding it, but after in-depth conversation, he found out that the Marquis of Fettley didn't know about the attack of the heavy armored cavalry regiment at all, and in front of Yang Hao, he roared at his uncle Grus: "May I ask Uncle Grus, who is the master here, is it me, or my sister Quilina." ”

Gruss didn't say a word, but there was a dissatisfied look on his face, he wanted to defend himself, but in front of outsiders he held back, and it was very uncomfortable, and his face turned red because of it,

Yang Hao watched all this with great interest, it was obvious that in this castle Fei Teli was only the nominal city lord, because of his young age and slightly frivolous personality, no one among the ministers, including his uncle Gruss, took him seriously, and even hid such a major event as sending troops to fight from him,

But Gruss is not the real master either, otherwise how dare Fitli roar at him, Fitley mentioned his sister Quirina, Yang Hao felt that the real owner of the castle should be this woman named Quirina,

"Your Excellency Marquis, why don't you invite Miss Quelina out?"

Yang Hao suddenly found that there was a figure behind the color screen on the east side of the living room, and guessed that it might be the sister Quilina mentioned by Feteli, so he brought it up very unceremoniously,

"You should call her Madame." Fei Teli corrected Yang Hao's mistake and shouted at the color screen in annoyance: "Okay, my sister, you can come out, your figure has betrayed you." ”

A young and beautiful young woman walked out behind the color screen, Fitelli's sister Quilina, although Yang Hao was very annoyed that she was hiding behind the color screen and eavesdropping on everyone's conversation, but out of politeness, when Quilina came out of the color screen, he still stood up, but Fitelli lay on the soft chair and didn't move, he was really too lazy to take a look at this showy sister,

Quilina is tall, fair-skinned, straight and long legs, thin waist, round hips, proud breasts, plus light yellow hair and angelic eyes, Yang Hao's eyes are bright, dissatisfied with her belly, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, "Goodong", Yang Hao heard the sound of someone behind him swallowing saliva,

"Hello, ma'am."

Yang Hao couldn't help grabbing Quelina's fingers, lifted them up and kissed them, Quelina was startled by his actions, but she didn't refuse, with a shallow angel-like smile on her face,

Guan Suo looked at Yang Hao in surprise, he also followed Yang Hao's example to kiss Quelina's hand, Quelina smiled and retracted her hand, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and bent her legs slightly, nodded and saluted, Guan Suo was busy and squatted according to the gourd painting and returned the salute, Quelina couldn't help but smile "fluttering", her eyes were mellow and calm,

After seeing the ceremony, Quilina sat down diagonally opposite Yang Hao, and everyone wanted to leave a good impression on the beauties.

"May I ask the generals, what are you breaking into our homeland with swords for?" Quelina's tone of voice is very calm, but her eyes are sharp,

"Don't get me wrong, madam, we are not your enemies, we are here for the ironworks in Shannan."

"The general is doing his own business, why should he kill our people." Quirina opened another topic in a relaxed tone, her eyes sparkling,

"It's really good to turn black and white upside down." Yang Hao sneered in his heart, he stared straight at Quilina, Quilina's eyes were very soft, like an unfathomable deep pool, no matter if you have a sharp gaze, she can dissolve into invisible,

"This is a powerful woman." Yang Hao drew a conclusion from her eyes that did not dodge or dodge, and were always gentle,

"I think this is a misunderstanding, our target is the iron factory, and there was a misunderstanding with your people when we crossed the Jiulian Mountain, so there was a conflict, unfortunately there were deaths, and everyone did not want to see this result, do you agree with me, Your Excellency Marquis."

Yang Hao's sudden question caught Fei Telli a little off guard, he hadn't thought about this question at all, and he wasn't interested in thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Quelina, but as the owner of the castle, this question can't be answered by others.

"Ah, you're right, it's a misunderstanding." Fitley shrugged and said lightly, and after saying that, he glanced at Quelina again, with an unconfident expression on his face,

"Then let's forget about these unpleasant things." Yang Hao said magnanimously,

This time, not only Fei Teli and Quelina were surprised, but also the generals of Guan Suo and Xining Army, the battle has been fought, and the victory that the soldiers have exchanged for with their blood, how can it be so lightly forgotten,

"The general is really a good belly." Quilina saw Guan Suo's dissatisfaction with the others, she stared at Yang Hao closely, wanting to get confirmation from him again,

"Does Your Excellency the Marquis agree with my suggestion?"

Yang Hao responded to her positively, and at the same time gave Feitli the opportunity to perform,

"I completely agree with your suggestion, General, let's make a toast to peace."

Fitelli took the wine, but the glass, the wine, and the wine in his mouth were mixed.

"Tonight I will hold a grand ball, welcome guests from afar, please all the generals must enjoy the light, it is a pity that we do not have such a big place, can not invite all friends to come, here I would like to express my deep apologies on behalf of my people." Fettley spoke with ease, as if nothing had happened, and then he gave the order to evict the guests bluntly: "I would appreciate it if you could give me a little time to prepare." ”

Gruss and Quirina, as representatives of the city lord, sent Yang Hao and his party out of the castle,

The castle is surrounded by an oval-shaped ring river, with green grass and wild flowers on both sides of the river.

When the bridge was separated, Quilina's fingers trembled slightly, Yang Hao didn't understand what she meant for a while, Quilina simply stretched out her hand and asked Yang Hao to kiss, Yang Hao suddenly felt a little ashamed, just now in the living room, he forcibly kissed her without her permission, which is really rude,

Back in the military tent, Yang Hao immediately ordered the release of all the captured heavy armored knights, including the corpses of the knights with horses, armor and weapons, and the dead knights.

Guan Suo was very puzzled, and after repulsing the guards, he asked Yang Hao: "Are you fascinated by that married woman, kiss her twice, and give up the victory that the soldiers exchanged for blood." ”

Yang Hao was unloading his armor, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed to the buckle behind him and said, "Come, do me a favor." Guan Suo said angrily: "You better ask the woman Quelina to help you." ”

Yang Hao smiled and ignored him, and after untying the buckle, he shook his arm and said, "You asked well, what are the brothers working hard for, is it just to kill a few people, what can they do if they kill their entire castle and bleed into a river, and people still can't be resurrected after death." ”

Guan Suo was asked, and only after a while did he come up with a sentence: "Then you can't just let them go so easily." ”

Yang Hao asked: "I ask you, what kind of conquest is a wise conquest, slaughter his clan or punish his people as slaves, we don't learn from the barbarians, we have to use their wisdom and talent to bring this iron factory back to life, smelt the best steel, build the best armor, and form an invincible heavy armored cavalry, you say, put the knife on someone else's neck to force him to help you, and willingly take the initiative to help you, that way can do things better, since you do great things, you will be more generous." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Hao suddenly asked, "Don't you hate that woman?" ”

Guan Suo couldn't help laughing: "I hate what she does, and I don't like to gnaw people's hands like you." ”

"This woman is not simple, I want to partner with her to set up a company and do a heavy armor business." Yang Hao said seriously,

Guan Suo laughed, laughing so much that tears came out: "What kind of dream are you talking about, just the kind of heavy armor they wear, that thing, if you fall down on your body, you can't even climb up, it's just a pile of scrap metal, who will spend money to buy that thing, I'm just afraid that you will make it and can't sell it." ”

"You can't sell it, and I can't sell it, but this woman can definitely sell it." Speaking of this, Yang Hao stared at Guan Suo's face, "I bet she will definitely make everyone crazy about this kind of heavy armor and let them fall into the trap we laid one by one." ”

Guan Suo took the smile on his face, lowered his head and thought for a long time: "What are you going to do?" ”

"You personally stepped in and let her help us willingly."
