The two of them were light carriages, and they could run very fast as long as the road conditions were good. There were more than a dozen cavalrymen who had already gone to the front, and they were responsible for probing the situation ahead, because the place where the salt mine was located was very close to the border line, and if you rode horses, it would not take an hour to travel, and from time to time there would be three or two Thorn cavalry scouts passing by that side, which could be regarded as a dangerous place.

They set out in the morning, and by noon, they barely reached the outer edge of their destination, the carriage ran on the military road, and Chen Xiansong poked his head out of the slightly shaking window, and found four gray-white mountains in front of them, towering among the trees in the distance, revealing only the winding ridge and gray-white summit.

"Looks like that's the destination." Chen Xiansong touched his stomach, it was almost noon, and he felt a little hungry.

"Give." A cake wrapped in a silk scarf and with the fragrance of Bai Min was placed in front of Chen Xiansong.

Blinking, Chen Xiansong didn't answer, but said, "If I eat you, I won't have it." ”

"I still have it." Bai Min's other hand reached through the collar into his career line, and took out a cake wrapped in a silk scarf.

Chen Xiansong took a piece and stared at her chest for a while before asking, "Who taught you to put things on your body like this?" ”

"Sister Qianxin." Bai Min looked a little happy when she watched Chen Xiansong start to eat the cake, and she continued: "Sister Qianxin said that you will like to hide the cake like this, and then give it to Xiao Song." ”

I really like it! Chen Xiansong took a few bites of the cake, and as soon as he tasted it, he knew that it was Alice's craftsmanship, and the cake was stained with the fragrance of Bai Min, which tasted very flavorful. When he had finished eating the cake, the carriage stopped, and he lifted the curtain to see that there was a gray-white world outside. Behind a large salt plain, there are four extremely high salt mountains. There was a heavy pungent smell in the air, which was the smell of salt.

Chen Xiansong jumped down, and the touch of sand and gravel sagging came from the soles of his feet, as if he could hear a rustling sound. Cavalry roamed and patrolled the vicinity, beware of any possible enemies and dangers. In the salt plain, there is a small road that leads straight to the foot of the salt mountain, and from a distance, it seems that you can see a figure swaying there.

Zelonger approached. He looked at the salt mountain in the distance and said helplessly: "About a hundred and fifteen years ago, my grandfather was knighted for his great military exploits, and the king asked him what land he wanted as his own territory. At that time, he was given two territories to choose from, one in the mountains to the north. It's colder there, though. But there are iron mines and forests, and as long as they are cultivated carefully, they can also enrich future generations; And the other piece is our Black Rock City. Black Rock City is not very rich, and there seems to be nothing but stones. ”

"Grandpa originally wanted to choose the northern territories. But while he was thinking about it, he heard a rumor that it seemed to be true and not true, and that there were several salt mountains here. Ze Longer sneered twice: "Grandpa didn't believe it too much at the time. But he still sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that there was really a salt mountain here, and then he immediately went to tell the king that he had chosen Black Rock City as his territory. ”

Chen Xiansong frowned, he didn't know what he was talking about, Ze Long'er suddenly wanted to tell the story.

Ze Long'er ignored Chen Xiansong's question, but continued: "Although Grandpa Grandpa is also cautious, he is a soldier, his brain is hot, and he feels that there is a salt mountain in this place, which is definitely a good land, even if he doesn't know how to make salt, even if he only sells yellow mud salt, he can make a lot of money every year, he was afraid that the opportunity would be snatched away by others, so he decided directly, but after coming here, he found out...... Salt Mountain is a salt mountain, but this salt mountain is poisonous, ordinary people will vomit with a little yellow mud salt, and they will die if they eat too much, and they can't sell it for money at all. ”

"He regretted it and asked people to investigate who secretly released the news." Zelonger's eyes were full of ridicule: "The person who released this news is a certain nobleman who grandpa had offended before, after learning the news, grandpa was deceived for himself, chose a poor territory and was depressed all day long, he died before he lived to be fifty or sixty years old, and then became a laughing stock for a long time, the greedy commander, which is the nickname he got after his death." ”

"Sounds like a sad story." Chen Xiansong was a little sympathetic to the old man who had been fooled.

"This has become a problem for every generation of our family. Although these mountains are not reasonably part of our family's territory, they are within our patrol range and are our family's property. Ze Long'er pointed to the small black shadow in the distance in front of him: "Our family has never given up the idea of turning those salt mountains into gold coins, we believe that among these mountains, there are always some places that are not poisonous, so we have been trying, but never succeeded." ”

"You're really resilient, you're always trying...... Wait a minute! Chen Xiansong's face changed suddenly, and he asked urgently: "What method do you use to test the poison?" ”

"Of course it's human." Ze Longer said very normally: "Every day I change places to dig a little yellow mud salt and eat it, as long as there is no poisoning, I should be able to sell it, but unfortunately so far, I have not found that the salt in that place in Yanshan is not poisonous." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiansong felt a cold breath rush from his tail to his head, and then his scalp tingled. Knowing that if the salt here is not filtered, it will eat dead people, and he dares to use people as test products, which requires a ruthless person to do.

Seeing Chen Xiansong's face change greatly, Ze Longer said a little strangely: "Do you think this is not good? ”

"Of course not!" Chen Xiansong jumped up angrily, his face was gloomy and dripping: "There are many ways to test poison, the easiest way is to use animals to do the test, don't tell me, you can't think of this, I don't believe it." ”

"It's okay for an animal to eat it...... It doesn't mean that people are okay if they eat it. Ze Long'er said lightly: "There has been such a thing before, the animal has eaten nothing at all, our family thought that the yellow mud salt in that place was edible, and then brought it back to the family, as a result, the deceased person was the youngest girl in our clan at that time, she was only four years old, and the cause of death was accidental ingestion...... After that, we all used people to test salt poison. ”

Chen Xiansong was silent for a while, and said: "No matter what, using people to test salt poison is not right, I can't accept it." ”

"It's not the same thing in your family that uses people to test poison." Ze Long'er glanced at Bai Min.

"Xiao Min is different." Chen Xiansong sighed: "She has a special ability that you can't imagine, she can easily tell whether a substance is poisonous or not, and in addition, her body's resistance to poison is abnormally high, which is essentially different from ordinary people. ”

"Anyway, she's also a human being, and she often tests drugs for you, which can't be wrong, you have to admit that it's no different from what I do." Ze Long'er said very coldly, as if he wanted to hit Chen Xiansong's death hole with one word.

It's just that Chen Xiansong doesn't eat this set, he can see that Ze Long'er is just secretly changing concepts, and his face became a little more serious when he heard this: "I said, Xiao Min has an essential difference between ordinary people, this is like letting a civilian go to the battlefield and letting a soldier go to the battlefield, although they are both doing the same thing, but whether it is common sense or reason, the two are completely different." ”

"You're a soul-thinker, I can't talk about you." Ze Long'er kicked up some salt sand with his foot, and said with an indifferent expression: "I know that you are a good person, anyway, you know how to make salt, and they will be liberated in the future, and I will not use people to test salt poison again, you can rest assured of this." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and several cavalrymen behind him rode to the foot of the mountain, and then after a while, a dozen people with skin as black as charcoal, thin as a skeleton, and bloodless faces slowly walked in front of them, and before they could get closer, these people all knelt on the salt ground, hung their heads, and did not dare to glance at the people in front of them, they knew that these people were all big people, and they were afraid of offending their dignity.

Looking at these people, Chen Xiansong felt very sad, even if Chen Xiansong didn't understand medical skills, he could see that if these people continued like this, they would definitely not live for two or three years. The sun was dazzling, his eyes narrowed, his fists clenched, and then released, and he felt more and more that he should do something in this world, so that he felt that he would suffer something in the future.

"Young master, now there are only thirteen people left, the other four have died, their bodies have been confirmed, and no one has escaped." A cavalryman stepped forward to give a notice.

"You're useless!" Ze Long'er's words made the dozen or so kneeling people tremble: "But you are also lucky, this Your Excellency Chen Xiansong next to me is a soul thinker, he has managed to repay your debts, and he is also very kind to let you get a bonus that should not belong to you." ”

Zelong'er gestured, and several cavalrymen threw out a dozen bags of copper coins on the salt ground, and then he continued: "Take a bag for each person, get out of here, and don't let me see you in the city again in the future." ”

The thirteen people wept with joy, each picked up a money bag and ran away, running very fast, for fear that Ze Longer would regret it.

"Some of these people are rapists, some are habitual thieves, and some are murderers." Zelong'er said very calmly: "Originally, they should all be put to death, but I gave them a chance to exonerate their crimes, as long as they found the yellow mud salt that was not poisonous, I will let them go." Chen Xiansong, although I am not as good as you, among the nobles, I feel that I am already very kind. ”

Chen Xiansong squinted at the sun for a while and asked, "You deliberately let me see this, and you are also deliberately guiding my emotions, for what?" ”

Bang Bang Bang! Ze Long'er clapped his hands and said, "It's really worthy of being a soul thinker, and it's really smart, I can't hide it from you." In fact, these things were ordered by my father last night. He meant, since we have already drunk the blood oath, it is not a family, but it is better than a family, our family has paid a lot for these salt mountains, and the thirty and a half is the reward we deserve, and he doesn't want you to think that our city lord's mansion is greedy because of this matter, and it will affect our cooperative relationship at the most. ”

"He also asked me to tell you that the Dolan family has put you on the must-kill list." Ze Long'er sneered: "But now, our family will do everything in our power to ensure your safety until these salt mountains are mined." (To be continued......)
