"My lord, there is a mechanism in your heart. The full-text ad-free novel is all on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info "Zhe Bei looked at Hu Wei and was about to jump down when he got up, so he hurriedly stopped him. She didn't allow Hu to worry about any problems in front of her. This is what she promised to be red just now, and it is also what she has always thought in her heart.
Hu Wei smiled: "Don't worry, I've already seen it, there is no problem." β
Yes, Hu Wei has indeed seen it. Jebe and Zhu Daneng just looked at it by the firelight, and they couldn't see anything with Ben. Hu Wei is different, after getting the Light and Shadow Fruit, his eyes can not only see at night, but also **. He had just swept the hole with his ** eye. Although it is very mentally exhausting, it is still worth it for safety.
"No, you're a general, you can't go first. "Jebel doesn't care what Hu Wei says, in short, Hu Wei wants to take the lead, but she won't agree.
"Then come and start. Hu Wei deliberately teased Zhe Beidao. Anyway, there won't be any problems with this hole, whoever goes down first can do it.
Jebel said without hesitation, "Of course it's me." β
"You?" Hu Wei leaned into Jebe's ear and said, "You are a girl walking in front, you are not afraid of perverts?"
"General, you" Zhebei stomped his feet angrily, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Zhu Daneng looking at this side with a smile on his face, and quickly closed his mouth. I was secretly glad in my heart, but fortunately I reacted in time, otherwise I would have been revealed by Zhu Daneng to be my daughter.
"General, I'd better go first. Zhu Daneng said. Zhebei thought that she could hide it from Zhu Daneng, but in fact, she didn't know that she couldn't hide it from Zhu Daneng now.
In the past, Jebe was a flat-chested airfield. It's not very strange that she is not well nourished, she is thin, she wears a green military uniform all day long, and no one sees her as a girl. But since she became Hu Wei's personal guard, Jebel's fire food has improved a lot, and Hu Wei taught her to use honey to regulate her body. She has breasts and a better complexion, so how can she hide from the eyes of those who have a heart.
Zhu Daneng is the son of a family, he doesn't know much from the maids around him, he grew up in the pile of flowers, and he has unique insights into women. He had already seen that Jebe was a girl, but he didn't say it.
Now there are three people here, Hu Wei is the biggest official, it is impossible for him to take the lead, Jebe is a girl, even if it is Hu You's personal guard, Zhu Daneng does not have the habit of letting girls open the way for themselves in front. Besides, Hu Weihe was not used as Zhebe's personal guard, how dare he, Zhu Daneng, let Zhebei open the way.
The last order to enter the hole is Zhu Daneng to start, Jebeju to be, and Hu Wei to wrap the tail. It is said that as Hu Wei, he should be in the middle, so that if something happens, Zhu Daneng and Jebe can protect him.
But Hu Wei didn't want to be there, the reason was very simple, he couldn't follow a man's ** behind and smell the smelly sweat. You must know that this hole Wang Cheng is not ordinary heat, with Zhu Daneng's body, can the amount of sweat be less? This hole is so, how heavy is the smell.
Following behind Jebel, it's different. Women don't know what material they're made of and are inherently different from men. The man sweated a little and stinked all over. And women sweat, but they are fragrant.
The tunnel is quite long, but after walking the narrow road at the beginning, the road behind it is much easier and wider. In the first section, you can only walk with one person bowing, and after twenty or thirty meters, two people can walk side by side. If it weren't for Zhu Daneng's relatively large body, it would not be a problem for the three of them to walk side by side.
"This tunnel is really long enough, where is it?" After walking for five or six minutes, Zhu Daneng couldn't help but turn around and ask Hu Wei.
Hu Wei and Zhebei were side by side in the back, about five meters away from Zhu Daneng, and Hu Wei was still holding Zhebei's hand.
"Just go, no matter how long it is, there will be a time when it will come to an end, it should be fast. Hu Wei grabbed Jebe's hand and replied. When Zhu Daneng turned back, Jebe instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand, but Hu Wei didn't let her succeed.
"Oh. Zhu Daneng turned his head and continued to move forward, he knew what could be seen and what should be ignored.
Hu Wei asked, "Do you think that our way seems to be an upward route?"
"Indeed, I feel that way, too. Jebel's voice trembled a little. It's not that she's afraid of what's going to happen here, it's that she's feeling cold.
Even if a woman sweats, the sweat is wet. The cold wind in this tunnel is very invasive, blowing on wet clothes, and the cold is very uncomfortable. This is the reason why Hu Wei grabbed her hand. If it weren't for Hu Wei's hands, which brought her some warmth, she would feel even colder.
Zhu Daneng asked: "If it's up, we've been walking for so long, where should we go?"
The hole in the ground of that room was not deep from the ground, and if they had been going up, they should not be underground, but above ground.
Hu Wei also thought of this question at the same time, thought about it and said, "The direction we came down just now should be west. β
Jebel exclaimed, "I know that we should be among the rocks of the West Gate at this time. β
"You said that strange looking stone forest?" Hu Wei knew where Jebel was referring to. Within five kilometers of this cave city, there was a patch of yellow sand, and only by the west gate of the former Kochishi garrison, there was a mountain.
"Don't guess, we're on top of that. Zhu Daneng, who was walking in front, said. No matter how long the road is, there is a time when it is finished, and this tunnel finally arrives.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here," Tetsubel exclaimed.
The scene in front of me is really beautiful. Raising their eyes and looking around, Hu Wei and the three of them were in a valley at this time. The valley is not very high, no more than thirty or forty meters, but it is surrounded on all sides, forming a natural semi-sealed shape. You can't see it from the outside, you just think it's a mountain. But I don't know that there is no cave here.
"If you don't open it, you'll really enjoy it. Hu Wei let out a long breath and said. If it hadn't been all the way, Hu Youhe wouldn't have believed that he was only a kilometer away from Dongwang City at this time.
Kilometers away, two different worlds have been formed, the outside world is the sun is raging, so hot that it is almost like applying oil to the pig's body, and after a while, you can eat the roast pig. And here, the bridge is flowing and the cool breeze is gusting, as if you have arrived in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It's so beautiful here, it's like a paradise in the peach garden.
"Look, there's a building there. Your Excellency, you are really a god, how do you know that there is such a nice place here. Jebel's face was full of excitement. Girls always like beautiful things, and although Jebel has always worn men's clothes, she is still a girl under the age of twenty in her bones.
"You say that I am a god, is there anything in this world that God does not know?" replied casually. He wasn't interested in what building. His attention was focused on the rocky beach across the building. There are clear traces of excavation there, and there are many large and different stones piled up on the side. If you don't guess wrong, the rock salt that Huzi picked up came from there.
"My lord, why don't you ignore me when I'm talking to you?" said Zhebei with a whim.
"Well, what's wrong? I didn't hear what you just said. Hu Wei turned his head to look at Jebe.
"I said, let's go to that building," Tetsube repeated what he had just said.
"Oh, let's wait a minute. Hu Wei nodded, and strode over to what looked like rock salt.
"My lord, where are you going?" asked Jebel as he watched Hu Wei walk towards a pile of useless stones.
"Go and see our treasures. Hu Wei smiled back, and continued to move forward.
Zhu Daneng and Zhebei glanced at each other, and also walked over with Hu Wei.
"My lord, are these broken stones the treasure you are talking about?" Jebel picked up a piece of rock salt and played with it in his hand. No matter how she looked, she couldn't see how it was different from ordinary stones.
"Of course," Hu Wei said affirmatively. He could already be sure that what he was looking for was what he was looking for.
Salt is not worth a few dollars by the sea, but in this great northwest, it is a scarce thing in the entire Mandala Empire. It's really more expensive than gold.
That Yan Bukai is so smart, I really don't know how he came to this place. Seeing this, many things that Hu Wei couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.
It seems that there are few good birds in this northwest land. Ma Zeben sits on the iron capital, and produces a large amount of iron ore every year, in exchange for a lot of gold coins, but he still has to rob the people with bandits.
And this is not open, and there is obviously a way to make money, but until he leaves, he is reluctant to announce the news. Needless to say, those red-bearded bandits must be strict people. In the past ten years, he has no idea how much rock salt has been shipped out of here and how many gold coins he has earned for himself.
The most infuriating thing is that he still pretends to be poorer than anyone else, an official who can't be clearer anymore. Who would have thought that this Qing official would enjoy what kind of life he enjoyed when he was carrying people on his back.
What is the underwear in Jinxiulou, if Yan Bukai is willing, he can buy all the shops on that street where Jinxiulou is located, without counteroffering.
"Liar, how can this broken stone be a treasure, I don't see at all that it has any possibility of becoming a treasure. Jebel pouted. After hearing Hu Wei say that these stones were treasures, she looked at them carefully several times, but she didn't see any difference between them.
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "There are some things that you can't see with your eyes. β
"You're not going to let me feel it with my heart. Jebel was not convinced.
Hu Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not with your heart, but with your mouth, you can understand it when you taste it." β
Hu Wei pointed to the stone in Zhebei's hand and motioned for her to put it in her mouth.
"No, it's a stone, you let me eat it. My teeth aren't that good. Jebel said with his mouth wide open.
"It's not a bite, it's a lick. Hu Wei pinched Jebe's face and said. Speaking of licking, he remembered the golden phoenix. Huang Jinfeng's ventriloquism is quite good. I really miss the days when I was entangled with this vinegar jar. After the matter of this cave Wang City is over, I will go to Phoenix City to see if I can deceive this girl back.
She should be living a good life in the Red Fen Legion, and Ximen Yufeng must take care of her. By the way, Ximen Yufeng also has to go and see, otherwise she will definitely be angry.
Thinking of the Ximen Jade Phoenix and the Golden Phoenix in Phoenix City, the corners of Hu Wei's mouth couldn't help but lead to a smile. Thoughts drifted again, drifting across Phoenix, and further south, there was a beautiful woman. I don't know how this princess of the Ningnan Empire is doing now. She must have thought about herself, too. Oh, and the quadruplets sisters of the Spiral Sun, Nayue, Treading Star, and Fuchen, Ouyang Hanbing can say that they are her companions.
"Salty, why salty, what is this?" Jebel's voice pulled Hu Wei's thoughts back. Zhu Daneng on the side also nodded again and again, staring at Hu Wei with wide eyes. He was also waiting for Hu's answer.
"It's salt. Hu Wei gave the answer.
"You say these stones are salt, but no, I've seen salt, it's not like that. Jebel said incredulously. Of course, she knows what salt is, that kind of shiny particles, you can't eat too much, but if you don't eat it for three days, your whole body will be weak.
Hu Wei explained: "This is rock salt, a kind of salt, which is not the same as the sea salt you said, but the essence is not different. β
"So, we've really found a treasure this time. Zhu Daneng's reaction was the fastest, and he immediately connected this salt with the current situation of the legion. As long as there is this salt, the legion will also have money. If you have money, you will have rice, and if you have weapons, you will get exhibitions. Now is the time of trouble, and it is a good time for a man to establish a career that will not fall for thousands of years.
"What do you say?" said Hu Wei smirked. During this time, he was busy with the reorganization of the legion, and he actually forgot about it. I was still worried about where to get the money before, but I didn't know that I was sitting on the top of the treasure mountain, and as long as I stretched out my hand, I could get a large amount of gold coins.
"But if we sell these stones as salt, will anyone ask for them?" asked Jebel. She never had much faith in these rock salts.
When Zhu Daneng heard this, he also put away his smile. Jebel is right, salt is more expensive than gold, who wants to exchange gold for these stones?
No matter how Hu Wei says, he has a little more knowledge than the people in this world. If you have the goods, you will naturally be confident. He played with the rock salt in his hand and said, "I don't know how Yan Bukai sells this salt, but I definitely won't just sell this rocky rock salt like that." What I produce must be exactly the same as the salt on the market.
"Is that possible, it's a big difference. "Don't be curious about the baby, and ask one question after another. Zhu Daneng on the side is so trouble-free, as long as he listens on the side, he can get the answers he needs.
Hu Wei threw away the rock salt block in his hand and walked towards the bridge. Jebe and Zhu Daneng, who were anxious for an answer, hurriedly followed behind Hu Wei and walked over together.
This bridge is semi-natural and semi-artificial, curved like a crescent moon, clever and delicate. The water under the bridge is crystal clear, and through the water more than one meter deep, you can see the colorful rain flower stones at the bottom of the water.
"I think you all know that salt can be stored in water. Seeing that Jebe and Zhu Daneng both nodded at the same time, Hu Wei continued: "But do you know that salt can be extracted from water?"
Jebe and Zhu Daneng both shook their heads. There was no sea in the Mandala Empire, and Jebe and Zhu Daneng had only eaten salt, but they didn't know how salt was produced.
Hu Wei shook his head, this was a very simple question in the world before him, even a child of a few years old. Here, neither adult knows.
took a sip of water into his mouth, and as Hu Wei imagined, the water here was really salty. Hu Wei simply told SΓΉ Zhebei and Zhu Daneng about the principle of salt making.
After listening to Hu Wei's explanation, Jebecai said with a sudden face: "It turns out that as long as you boil this water, you can get salt, it's that simple." β
"Yes, it's that simple. Many things in this world are not so complicated. What is needed, only what is necessary.
Let's go, let's go back. It's been long enough to come out, and if you don't go back, it's time for Red to look for someone everywhere. β
"My lord, I want to go to the building over there. "Jebel was a little reluctant to leave. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but it is also very cool and comfortable. She frowned at the thought of the hot weather in Dongwang City.
"Do you like it here?" Hu worriedly looked at Jebel.
"Hmm," Tebebe nodded vigorously.
Hu Wei thought for a while and said, "Then shall I give you this place?"
"Give it to me?" Jebel didn't understand what Hu Wei meant.
"Yes. Hu Wei said: "I let you be a salt official, and you will live here in the future, specializing in salt production, what do you think?"
Hearing Hu Wei's words, the smile on Jebe's face suddenly disappeared. He looked like he was about to cry and said, "My lord, don't you want to say goodbye?"
Hu Wei didn't expect Zhebei's reaction to be so big, and quickly explained: "Where do you want to go, when did I say I don't want you anymore." There's salt here, and we're going to keep it a secret. This work of salt production must be done by the people you trust the most. You love it so much, that's why I want you to take care of the salt here. β
Jebe shook his head vigorously and said, "No, I don't want to take care of salt here." I am your personal guard, I must stay by your side, without your place, no matter how good it is, I will not go. I don't like it here, let's go. β
Zhebei said that she was striding back and forth, what kind of building, she didn't want to look at it anymore.
"This girl, I've never seen her so big-tempered. Hu muttered in his heart and looked at Zhu Daneng.
Zhu Daneng saw Hu Wei's gaze fall on his body, and his head shook faster than a rattle: "My lord, don't look at me, I like to be lively by nature, if you let me stay here, I will die." β
Hu Wei scolded angrily: "I didn't say I wanted you to come, you are in a hurry." β
"That's good, that's good. Zhu Daneng also quickened his pace as he spoke, as if he was afraid of repentance.
"Hey, don't run so fast, wait for me"
"The people of Maragobi don't want to come, but the young master comes. When the time comes, the young master will get a large group of beauties, hehe"
