Volume 2 Chapter 136 Prestige Chapter 3 Additions
Early the next morning, Li Chengqian got up early in the morning.
Today, he is going to teach these people how to make a Swedish torch.
To put it bluntly, it's still to save fuel, otherwise he really wouldn't have the heart to toss these things.
As a craftsman of yesteryear, it's actually very simple to make this thing.
In order to make this specially, Li Chengqian gathered Yi Yuanxi and his people together and taught them how to make Swedish torches.
"This thing is simple to make, but it is more durable to use than chopping firewood, and a torch with a thick bowl like this can be burned for more than an hour, and there is no problem at all. Of course, the thicker and larger the torch, the longer it will burn. ”
As he spoke, Li Chengqian moved his hands.
Everyone gathered around, and they didn't quite believe it.
Just such a stake pile, split it for them, in fact, it won't burn for long, facts speak louder than words, whoever believes is a fool.
Li Chengqian looked at their questioning expressions and was not annoyed.
Ignorant people always have all kinds of reasons for ignorance, what is there to say about this.
Initial domain name: m.
In a short time, a torch is ready.
Li Chengqian didn't say much, and directly asked people to light the torch from the small hole below.
"With this little firepower, I'm afraid I can't bear a soak of urine." Someone couldn't help but muttered when they saw the torch burning with difficulty.
On the side, Ihara Xi kicked over.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Li Chengqian is really thinking of a way, and at this time, it is light to kick him when he says these yin and yang weird words.
Li Chengqian smiled, but he didn't care.
When you were surprised, you immediately said, "Even if I do this, you can also try it, don't worry." ”
As soon as he said this, the crowd hesitated again.
No, these two axes can be chopped, is it really necessary to make such trouble?
"Hurry." Yi Yuanxi doesn't care about this, he doesn't want to slap Li Chengqian, it's just that people are really doing it, and if he drags him back at this time, he really can't say anything.
As soon as Ihara Xi spoke, the people in their tribe immediately moved.
Li Chengqian saw this scene in his eyes.
He knew that he still lacked some prestige in the hearts of these people, no way, everyone had not been in contact for a long time, and it would be a fool's dream to let them order and prohibit them in a short time.
That's why he knows that intelligence is important, but he hasn't arranged for more people to do it at this stage.
He was really worried that after his people were gone, he would not be able to move any of these people.
If you want to build your prestige, you have to take your time.
As the time passed, everyone who was busy with their work was surprised to find that the torch of Li Chengqian before was burning bigger and bigger.
And at first glance, it seems that the torch really hasn't burned much.
Li Chengqian looked at all this with a smile, beckoned Yi Yuanxi to sit on the side of the torch, and asked Liu San to get a kettle and boil the water directly on the torch.
"Childe, this is really useful?" Ihara asked with some confusion.
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "If there is anything useful, just look at it." ”
If you really want to say how useful it is, Li Chengqian is actually not sure, but at least it is more economical firewood than chopping it as a tea.
"Presumably, the son is either rich or expensive in Datang." Yi Yuanxi looked at the flames, and reached over to roast it, then said with a smile, "I don't know why Gongzi came to our Chishui source to suffer this crime?" ”
Li Chengqian glanced at this guy, is this trying to trick me? said at the moment: "If you can live in Datang Ansheng, who wants to come to your troubled waters?"
Don't talk about me, to put it bluntly, everyone is a hard-working person, you are, and so am I.
If Murong Shun hadn't beaten your mind in the first place, would you have come here? Obviously not, but is that up to you? Neither is it.
Living in this world, many things are like this, I can't help myself, and I have to do it.
When I first traded with the Platts tribe, I didn't really think that I would be where I am today.
But do I have a choice? Nope.
Puccira has always felt that I have other plans, but you ask him, let him touch his conscience and say, if I didn't help him at that time, would he turn against me?
I guess he also told you that I was the first to lead people to deal with Lou Ning's Tanma, right?
But he must not have told you, I didn't even dare to take my own supplies with me, I know why not? ”
It's the first time I've heard these words, just like Li Chengqian said, Pu Xiruo told them a lot, but he really didn't say this.
"Why?"
Li Chengqian smiled: "Why? Because I don't dare. Irony, right? I was afraid that if I took those things with me, Platts would do something to me. Do you really think I'm willing to be a pioneer for others?
Everything, but just forced helpless.
At that time, no one knew that those people were from Louning, and it was not unreasonable for Platts to suspect me. But just like that, step by step, I had to stand on the opposite side of the ruler of Chishuiyuan, which led to my current existence. ”
Thinking about it, this is indeed the case.
There were just some Han people in the tribe, and there were Tanma outside, and he would be suspicious if he was replaced.
"You can roughly know the rest of the things, I wanted to sneak back to Datang at the time, and even took most of my people away, before leaving, Shopkeeper Li and Dr. Chao took the initiative to stay in order to let me leave smoothly, but that's it, I still didn't leave."
Li Chengqian laughed self-deprecatingly, "You also know that it was Pleboz who really saved Yiyuan Peak and them, and as for saving you, I shouldn't say anything, although I took someone with me at that time, I really didn't plan to make a move, I was just forced to act like a helpless person."
However, when I saw that Lou Kuan throwing the children into the fire one after another, at that moment, I was still impulsive after all.
In other words, if Lou Kuan hadn't done this that day, even if I watched your tribe fall, I wouldn't have made a move. After all, at that time, I just wanted to escape back to Datang.
But it's the width of the building. ”
Sighing, Li Chengqian said again, "Pressed me alive on this Sun Moon Mountain."
If it weren't for Lou Kuan, I wouldn't have saved you, and I wouldn't have returned to Sun Moon Mountain, nor would I have returned to Taoyuan, and I wouldn't have had some thoughts that shouldn't have been, everything, it's fate. ”
After speaking, Li Chengqian shook his head and said no more.
I have to say that it's a pity that he is not an actor.
The words are sincere, the expressions are wonderful, even an old fox like Ihara Xi doesn't have much doubt.
In fact, this is normal, did Li Chengqian lie?
No.
More than 90 percent of what he said was true.
When he was the Przewalski's tribe, did he think about today's scene? , that's when he came to familiarize himself with the situation.
The rescue of Ihara Peak was originally done by Purus.
As for rescuing Yi Yuanxi, Yi Yuanxi knows this better than anyone else, and it was really Lou Ning's behavior that stimulated Li Chengqian, which made him take action.
At that time, whether it was Yi Yuanfeng, Pule Bobo, or Zhao Yan and others, as soon as they came up, they all stared at Lou Kuan, even in the end, Lou Ning let go, but Lou Kuan still stayed there.
They are all witnesses, how can they not understand.
Li Chengqian's only lie is not what he did, but his thoughts, which is his only lie.
But the facts are here, can you still see through your mind?
Yi Yuanxi smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, we should thank Lou Kuancai instead." ”
Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed and said, "You are right when you say that." If it weren't for Lou Kuan's behavior being too despicable and cruel, I really wouldn't have thought of making a move.
In that case, he really saved you......"
Yi Yuanxi nodded and said: "Indeed, if he is still alive, I will definitely thank him, but unfortunately, the clansmen did not keep their hands when they were angry, I turned around and asked if the clansmen had collected his bones, and if there were, I would have to make a wine glass from his head and touch it day and night." ”
Speaking of this, Yi Yuanxi's expression was a little perverted, obviously saying such a bad thing, but his expression was extremely enjoyable.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian didn't care, he didn't have any good feelings about a guy like Lou Kuan.
It's okay to kill people, even if you slaughter the city, Li Chengqian doesn't feel anything.
But don't let him see it.
Just like Lou Ning's recent massacre in Chishuiyuan, he just hummed when he knew about it, that's all.
War has always been cruel.
And while they were chatting, the torch was burning brighter and brighter, and the teapot on it began to whine.
The people who were busy heard the sound and looked at it, and they all watched it all in disbelief.
"Half an hour, right?" Someone asked.
"There it is." The other person also looked puzzled.
In the past, they had burned firewood, just such a stake pile, and there was not much ash left for half an hour, but now from the outside, it looks like it has not been burned.
Li Chengqian saw that everyone was looking over, so he asked Liu San to lift the teapot down, and then said, "If you want to see it, you can take a closer look." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately came up.
Looking at it again, everyone looked incredulous.
The fire is not small, and you can feel warmer from a meter away, but the inside is just a wrist-thick hole.
"Can this thing really burn for more than an hour?" Someone asked in surprise.
Li Chengqian got up and said, "You'll know later, okay, I should also go and do something else, you all have to pay attention to it." ”
Seeing everyone looking at him in amazement, Li Chengqian knew that today's goal had been achieved.
This time, without waiting for Yi Yuanxi to speak, these people immediately went back to work.
He just wants to establish some prestige in front of these people, although this little prestige is obviously not enough, but slowly, he can always establish enough prestige.
At that time, these people will be the subordinates who really belong to him.
Now, now everyone is just living together.
After Li Chengqian left, Yi Yuanxi came back to his senses from the question just now, and also looked at the torch with a look of surprise.
To be honest, the reason why he cooperated with Li Chengqian was not because he believed it, but because Li Chengqian was really doing it, nothing more.
But at this moment, looking at the back of Li Chengqian's departure, he was in a trance.
Is it hard to make a torch?
It's not difficult, no, the big guys are doing it, but why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
Li Chengqian, who left, didn't care about their thoughts, or even their eyes.
Just now, Liu San quietly told him that Ma Ye had returned.
He needed to know more information now, so he didn't waste any more time with them.
In the tent, the horse industry is already waiting here.
This time, he was the only one who came back, and the remaining three were still in Chishuiyuan.
"What's going on with the uncle and grandson?" As soon as he sat down, Li Chengqian asked.
Ma Ye shook his head and said, "All of them are dead, and there is not a single living mouth left." ”
Hearing such news, Li Chengqian was not surprised, let alone surprised.
It's normal, with the strength of the uncle and grandson, the extinction of the clan is doomed.
"What about those people?" Li Chengqian said, "Since you're back, there must be something to discover, right?" ”
He asked about the cavalry they had encountered before, that is, Helu and the others.
"It was because of the He family that I rushed back." Ma Ye said, "Yesterday's battle between the uncle and grandson lasted until midnight, and the He family did go to the rescue.
But what makes me feel strange is that the strength of the He family is obviously not as good as Lou Ning, but they still got involved. Moreover, as soon as the two sides fought, the He clan was pressed and beaten by Lou Ning, but after a whole day of fighting, the casualties on both sides were not as many as those caused by the people of the uncle and grandson department.
We watched from afar, and it always felt weird. ”
Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian also frowned.
He's one?
This shows that the horse industry has figured out the most basic situation.
But it is indeed strange that such a situation occurs.
It stands to reason that since the rescue has begun, there is no reason why the He family should not work hard?
After rescuing for a long time, the uncle and grandson department were still destroyed, which was a bit surprising.
"What happened to the He family?" Li Chengqian asked, "It's after the uncle and grandson are wiped out." ”
"This is the weirdest part." Ma Ye said, "When the whole army of the uncle and grandson department was annihilated, the He family actually withdrew, and the withdrawal was called a decisive one, without any drag.
Moreover, what I can't figure out the most is not this, it is that Lou Ning obviously has the strength to pursue them, but Lou Ning also made people withdraw.
There seems to be no reaction at all to the sudden appearance and sudden departure of the He family...... The point is that there are not many casualties on both sides of this field, and I have carefully reckoned with them, and the casualties on both sides combined may be less than 100.
That's it, there are still most minor injuries.
It gives us the feeling that the two sides have discussed it, and there is an extremely tacit understanding in the makeup and appearance.
Moreover, when we first came back, the He clan also sent people to follow us.
I suspect that their purpose is not the uncle and grandson department at all, but us. ”
Is it us?
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment.
If that's the case, then it's interesting.
