Since Huo Zao destroyed the three cars he had made, he had been hiding in the house and not going out, and he had sent someone to deliver his meals.

At this time, he still forgot to sleep and eat in the house to study alone, carefully analyzing where the problem occurred, resulting in the lack of toughness of the car made, and the gravity hit to break inch by inch.

Suddenly, Huo Zao suddenly raised his head, withdrew his gaze from the drawing, the expression on his face was cloudy, and after a while, "Haha" burst into laughter, which made people a little crazy. No wonder he was so forgetful, after half a month of research, he finally studied a crucial detail in the process of smelting Ugin.

Originally, as a master of car making, he never participated in the process of steel smelting, but the people invited to smelt steel in Shuangyu Village were ordinary people, and occasionally a few people who knew how to forge were only beginners, and they could build a few farm tools at most.

Under such conditions, he could only devote himself to learning again and personally explore the smelting method of Ugin. Still immersed in excitement, Huo Zao heard a soft knock on the door, and immediately ran to open the door, and saw the alliance leader standing in front of the door with a smile.

"Alliance Master, you came just in time, I just finally figured it out......" Before the words were finished, Zong Wusheng asked excitedly, "Have you thoroughly studied the method of smelting Ujin?" ”

"Exactly." Huo Zao stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Alliance leader, please come inside, listen to what I tell you." ”

Zong Wusheng stepped into the door, but he didn't bother to sit down, staring at Huo Zao intently, waiting for him to explain.

Huo Zao saw that the alliance leader was so earnest, and said: "I haven't smelted steel myself before, but these few failures have made me understand the art of smelting, the ugin we smelt is different from ordinary steel, it belongs to the highest level of metal steel, and the reason why the ugin we smelt has no toughness is actually a lack of spiritual power." ”

Huo Zao woke up the person in the dream with a word, and Zong Wusheng said happily: "We were negligent about this before, and I just remembered when you said this, after casting a peerless sword, the swordsmith will feed the furnace with essence blood, so that the sword cast can have a soul, and our chariot should be the same." ”

Although Huo Zao didn't know the art of sword casting, it was very reasonable to hear what Zong Wusheng said, and after echoing it, he asked, "I don't know if Boss Bai has sent a message back, when will the steel carbon arrive?" If the steel carbon arrives, I will start building the perfect car right away. ”

Zong Wusheng's face was a little melancholy when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Boss Bai has been gone for more than half a month, and there is no news until now, I don't know if it went well?" ”

Huo Zao said thoughtfully: "Alliance leader, I am a native of Changge Country, and I know Changge Country very well, although Changge Country is rich in coal, the common people can't make coal wealth. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"King Gowei of Changge Kingdom is extremely mediocre and profligate, so he set up a Ministry of Commerce in the Imperial Kingdom to strictly control all the mines in Changge Kingdom, and the coal dug up is bought and sold by the Ministry of Commerce, and the golden tickets sold are for King Gowei to squander."

Zong Wusheng was a little surprised, these days may not have the opportunity, Huo Zao is still the first time to talk about the situation of Changge Country for him, after saying this, he came up with a few questions, and asked: "Do you say there will be such a situation?" The coal of Changge was pre-purchased, or was the coal hollowed out? ”

Huo Zao pondered for a while, and replied: "It's impossible to hollow out, but it's possible to be pre-ordered." ”

Zong Wusheng muttered to himself, "If it was really pre-purchased, who would have purchased it?" ”

Huo Zao also fell into deep thought when he heard this question. Suddenly, the two of them spoke almost at the same time, "Zheng Heyuan! Zong Wusheng added: "Zheng Heyuan may not have this ability, but his brother Zheng Hesheng should not have any problems. ”

"There has been a similar situation before, when I was building a car in my hometown and wanted to buy a car of steel and carbon smelted steel, and the Ministry of Commerce claimed that all the coal produced within a year had been packaged, and the gold ticket was paid first. In desperation, I had to find a smuggled coal dealer and secretly buy a car from there to complete the construction of the car. ”

It was the first time Zong Wusheng had heard of smuggling salt dealers, illicit cigarette dealers, and illicit coal dealers, and asked with some curiosity: "What will happen to the smuggler if he is caught?" ”

Huo Zao said without thinking: "Of course it's a head-killing." Then he smiled mysteriously, and said: "But the illicit coal dealers are not easy to be caught, they are very hidden, and the trade is carried out quietly, for more than ten years, the imperial kingdom has not caught a few smuggling coal dealers." The guy I know is very good, and I heard that his business is getting bigger and bigger now. ”

After learning this, Zong Wusheng said decisively: "We can't hang ourselves on a tree, we should walk on two legs, and wait for three more days If there is no news from Bai Gui, I will personally go to Changge Country to find smuggled coal dealers to buy steel carbon." ”

Huo Zao didn't refute after hearing this, and said calmly: "If the alliance wants to go to Changge Country, you can go to the one I know, I believe that with his strength, he can supply us with a large number of cars." ”

Zong Wusheng swept away the previous haze, and his heart quietly became clear.

……

Bai Gui rented a carriage from the hotel where he was staying, and set off early in the morning in the direction of Yanzhou. Shortly after he left, a group of government soldiers, led by a white-faced, beardless merchant, arrived at the inn.

The merchant was one of the few friends Bai Gyu had previously found, named Gao Zhao. But he didn't come to find a smuggling coal dealer for Bai Gui this time, but reported the news that he wanted to find a smuggling coal dealer to the government, so he brought the government soldiers to arrest Bai Gui.

After half his life in business, Bai Gui thinks that he has read countless people, and making friends can give insight into their bone marrow, as long as the people he likes will definitely become close friends. What he didn't expect was that he was pecked in the eye by an eagle after playing with the eagle for half his life.

Seeing that Gao Zhao came to interrogate with people from the government, the inn naturally did not dare to hide it, and informed the head of the government that Bai Gui had rented a carriage to go to Yanzhou in the early morning.

After hearing this, a team of men and horses hurriedly chased in the direction of Yanzhou. Bai Gui had already driven out of Changge King City at this time, and traveled nearly a hundred miles. Bai Gui, who was in the carriage, was anxious, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

In a panic, Bai Gui heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves outside the carriage, accompanied by the sound of a man shouting, "Stop!" ”

The driver who was driving the car turned his head to look, but when he saw more than a dozen people from the government, he asked in horror towards the carriage: "Boss Bai, there is a team of officials and horses coming from behind, it seems that they are coming for us." ”

Bai Gui's face changed slightly, but he still responded calmly: "I am a merchant of the Eternal Halberd Country, and I have never broken the law in the Changge Country, so if there is anything to be afraid of, you just have to go." ”

As he spoke, the horse team had already caught up, and the voice just now shouted coldly: "It's Bai Gui, a merchant of the Eternal Halberd Kingdom, inside?" ”

Bai Gui didn't get out of the carriage, sat inside and said in a deep voice: "It's Bai, what are you doing?" ”

"Since it's Bai Gui, then come out and come with us."

"Why should I go with you?"

"Humph!" The voice snorted coldly and said, "We suspect that you are colluding with the smuggler coal dealers, please cooperate a little, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin." ”

Bai Gui still responded calmly, "What evidence do you have?" ”

"You'll see when you come out."

Bai Gui walked out of the carriage with some doubts, and when he saw Gao Zhao behind the leader, he understood the ins and outs, and glared at Gao Zhao coldly: "I, Bai Gui, take you as a friend, why do you want to be a villain?" ”

Gao Zhao was speechless for a long time, so he simply blushed and stopped looking at Bai Gui, and twisted his head to the side.

Seeing that Gao Zhao didn't dare to look at him, Bai Gui knew that he had no intention of talking nonsense with him, so he raised his identity as a merchant of the Eternal Halberd Country, and said, "I am a merchant of the Eternal Halberd Country, do you dare to arrest me casually?" ”

Who knew that the words of a hundred trials and tried-ins were sneered at by the leader of the soldiers this time, and he responded with a sneer: "To tell you the truth, don't use the Eternal Halberd Country to suppress us again, the Eternal Halberd Country is strong, but what you are doing is not a big country at all, our four countries have now formed an alliance, and intend to unite against your Eternal Halberd Country oppression, are you still afraid that you will not be a businessman?" ”

Bai Gui heard it in a fog, and he didn't understand what the Eternal Halberd Country had done to make the four countries scoff, and they were jointly confronted, but his tone still softened, and he asked, "Please make it clear to this official, what happened to the Eternal Halberd Country?" ”

"Humph!" Gao Zhao snorted coldly at this time, and interjected with anger on his face: "The envoy of the five countries went to the Pilu country and made a deal with the court captain of the Pilu country, and he was willing to pay the price of three thousand chariots per country in return. I didn't expect that your Eternal Halberd State would try to steal these chariots and kill our envoys of the four countries halfway, is this how you Eternal Halberd Kingdom does things? ”

The more Gao Zhao spoke, the more angry he became, obviously a patriotic radical, and continued: "In front of the country, I will definitely not shield you eternal dogs, Bai Gui, you can't complain about me!" ”

Bai Gyu finally understood why Gao Zhao betrayed him, it turned out to be this matter.

At that time, after the envoy of the Five Kingdoms forced the king of Pilu, Shangzong Taiji, to kill Kong Rong, Bai Gui once suspected that Zong Wusheng would definitely take action, and according to his understanding of Zong Wusheng, he could easily guess that he would definitely kill the envoy of the Five Kingdoms.

However, the truth that came out of Gao Zhao's mouth at this time surprised Bai Gui a little, he didn't expect Zong Wusheng to be so terrifying, this divisive situation must have been arranged by him. Bai Gui constructed a picture in his mind with his imagination, the murderer killed five people after the envoy of the Five Kingdoms entered the territory of Jingliang Kingdom, and then took the body of Sovo, the envoy of the Eternal Halberd Kingdom, away, so as to leave a scene of Sowo killing four people and absconding alone.

Bai Gui was surprised and happy in his heart, surprised that Zong Wusheng could have such a scheming, a small move added an indelible estrangement between the five countries, it was really non-toxic and not a husband! And the joy is that I am happy that I can cooperate with such a person, there is a scheming city like Zong Wusheng, why can they fail to cooperate with each other?

Therefore, although Bai Gui was not afraid of being in danger of being imprisoned, Feng Qingyun said lightly: "I will go with you, but you will not keep me for too long, I am very confident!" ”

"We don't care how long we keep you, but I will definitely not let you have a good time during this time, and I have this confidence!" The leader of the officers and soldiers said coldly.
