The man was no more than twenty years old, with a face like jade, and a little handsome.

But compared to Zhou Qi, it is still far behind.

Zhou Qi didn't know who he was, but seeing his dress, it was not difficult to guess that he was a person from the pious dynasty, and he had now heard that many of the grandchildren of the pious dynasty had gone to Xiju to propose to the empress, presumably he was one of them.

"Get out of the way."

Zhou Qi was silent.

But the man didn't move, and said with a sneering face: "The empress prays, how can a lowly baron like you go and disturb it?" ”

"Baron of the Lower Ranks, where do you know my name?"

Zhou Qi rolled his eyes, dropped a word, and winked at Da Liu and Zhu Fang.

Da Liu and Zhu Fang understood the meaning at the moment, and immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed over......

The man was weak, he was not his opponent at all, and he was already pulled to the side without making a move.

The female soldier who followed behind looked panicked, and immediately said: "Let go, this person is the son of Wenyuan......

"Childe Wenyuan?"

Zhou Qi snorted disdainfully: "I don't know." ”

At this moment, another man on the other side narrowed his eyes at him, and a fierce light appeared.

I saw that he was about twenty years old, but he was unusually tall, and his body was full of strong muscles.

"Prince Yangcheng, this person is the man that the empress brought back from the temple, and the empress has taken good care of him in recent days......

An attendant beside him whispered to him.

Hearing this, the fierce light in his eyes was even worse, and he walked over with a snort, looking like this, it was not easy to deal with.

Zhou Qi was helpless, it was still raining lightly, and he saw that the muddy sand and gravel on the slope of the mountain were sliding down a little, this place was too dangerous, he didn't want to talk to them at all, so he simply bypassed him directly at a very fast speed and went straight to the top of the mountain.

And the prince of Nayang City was stunned, and he just wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Liu Sichen.

"This boy looks brave and strong, I don't know how he usually exercises?"

Speaking of this, Yangcheng Gongzi was proud, brushed his thumb to his nose, and said carefully to Liu Sichen.

At this time, Zhou Qi had reached the top of the mountain, and the Empress Crescent had already completed her prayer, and the maid lifted her skirt, and she stood up.

Looking back, I saw Zhou Qixing hurriedly trotting in her direction, and a trace of warmth crept into my heart.

At this time, Zhou Qi saw that on the side of the altar, the sand and stones were rolling, and if she continued to stand there, she would fall!

Without waiting for him to react, he saw that the Crescent Moon Empress in luxurious clothes was already unstable under her feet, and the whole person fell backwards in an instant, but she had always exercised quite well, her body was good and her reaction was quick, her hand was raised up, and she immediately grabbed the sturdy trunk next to her.

At this time, everyone on the scene panicked.

"Her Majesty! ……”

"Quick, save the ......"

The hundred officials were in a mess in an instant, and hurriedly shouted to the female soldier to step forward, and the maid who was already accompanying her also hurriedly reached out and grabbed it.

But the national teacher in his thirties frowned and quietly glanced at a female soldier.

The female soldier who was at the head over there knew it, and hurriedly stepped forward while the chaotic crowd was in chaos.

At this time, no one cared how Zhou Qi appeared here, but he had reached the front of the altar, and a pair of big hands immediately stretched down.

"Hold me, I'll pull you up."

Although the Crescent Empress was in danger, her face was calm and not panicked, she trusted the person who came very much, and the hand that hung down suddenly grabbed it, and the foot that stepped on the stone suddenly exerted force.

She has always been slim and very lightweight, and she is also borrowing strength, Zhou Qi fixed the strength in her hand, and she was about to pull people up.

At this moment, a gravitational force suddenly struck at his back......

The two rolled down the cliff.

"Her Majesty!"

Everyone exclaimed, and no one saw the hand that pushed Zhou Qi.

But I saw those two figures, rolling towards the bottom of the cliff at a very fast speed!

Zhou Qi was also immediately dazed, he didn't expect that Shi Liu would be attacked like this at all.

And at this moment, fortunately, the empress's hand was tightly grasping him and did not let go, the two were already hugging together, seeing the trunk in the mountain road quickly crossing, I couldn't see clearly, and I didn't know if this life would be explained like this......

There was nothing to draw on, but the speed of the two of them slowed down due to the resistance.

It didn't take long to roll, but suddenly at this moment, the two fell down the hunting well set up by nearby villagers on the mountain.

By this time, the two of them were already in a mess, and the sand and stones that had fallen along the way had torn their clothes, and they had scars on their bodies and faces.

Fortunately, the person was still awake, Zhou Qi hissed in pain, and then looked at the Crescent Empress, she was not much better.

However, she rubbed her arm a little and got up, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhou Qi smiled: "Small problem." ”

The advantage is that there are many villagers nearby who go up to the mountains to hunt and collect medicine, otherwise if they go on, even if they are both cultivators, they will definitely not survive.

Zhou Qi brought a fire fold with him, and after lighting it, he looked at the environment at this time, but suddenly found that this was not an ordinary hunting well, but a huge cave......

He was in a daze at the moment, could he be discovering some martial arts cheats!?

He didn't see the martial arts cheats or anything, but when the two of them fell, they were both stuck in the mud, and their clothes were soaked.

Zhou Qi is okay, nothing more than showing a strong chest, but the Crescent Empress, the delicate body, has been seen at a glance.

She also realized the clue, and her pretty face, which had been scratched a few times, suddenly turned red and turned her body back.

Zhou Qi is not a prodigal person, although I feel sorry for her graceful curves, but it is impossible for him to take advantage of the danger here, and the fire fold probed forward, and saw that the depths of the cave were emitting oily black light under the light of this firelight......

"Mine!?"

Zhou Qi's eyes lit up at the moment.

Hearing this, the Crescent Empress turned around again and looked deeper into the cave, her eyes immediately condensed.

She had seen in the history books of Xiju that there was a mine in Nanshan, but because of the small recoverable reserves, it was ordered by the previous empress to stop work not long after.

The two of them leaned forward one after the other.

Zhou Qi as a modern person, came here for a long time, saw its unique customs, it is not difficult to guess what this place is, the name of the non-ferrous metal kingdom is not boasted, the mineral types are complete, the degree of supporting is high, and there are many associated minerals, in this so-called Nanshan, it is not uncommon to see ores.

But when he got closer, he was immediately happy.

It turned out to be a coal mine.

Look ahead, good fellows!

The oil inside is black and deep, judging by the naked eye alone, it is estimated that there are a lot of coal mines underneath.

In this era, firewood was still used as fuel, and no one has discovered the use of coal mines until now, so he did not expect to find coal mines here.

At this time, his mood is excited, not to mention that he can make honeycomb coal out as a new fuel, where there is a coal mine, there is a graphite mine, and the combination of graphite ore and clay is a graphite crucible, now the smelting technology is still the blacksmith's furnace forging, his fire gun is also through a variety of copper melting furnaces to create, although the metallurgical technology has been slightly formed at this time, but if there is this graphite crucible, then it will set off a metallurgical revolution!

The combination of the two will surely make the current metallurgy, foundry, machinery, chemical and other industries to a higher level.

Moreover, if more minerals can be found in this Xiju and matched with them, then wouldn't you have what you want in the future!?

The Empress Crescent didn't know this, she only felt that the whole cave was dark and dark, and there was a ticking sound on the other side of the cave entrance, even if she was not afraid in her heart, she suddenly felt a chill on her body, and suddenly shivered.

"It's a little cold."
