Chapter 87: A Thousand Pounds of Manganese

"The love of parents, the love of brothers and sisters, the friendship of comrades, and the compassion that everyone has when they are prostrate into the well."

Qin Liu knew that the first assistant was the head of the civil officials, and the Baoguo Mansion was the head of the nobles, and Zhu Yue would inevitably feel sad when he saw his current situation.

It was too dark for Zhu Yue's face to be clear, and Qin Liu only heard him smile and ask, "Have you also read Mencius?" ”

Qin Liu had never read "Mencius", but he knew the allusion of "the naked son creeping into the well".

She guessed that Miss Liu Xuejiang was the granddaughter of Shoufu, and her father was a Jinshi, so it was not strange that she had read "Mencius", so she said: "I have only heard one or two sentences occasionally." ”

There was a sound of footsteps not far behind him, and Zhu Yue turned to look back.

Qin Liu also looked back, and his mood sank a little - he came to carry an angry wind lamp, with long hands and feet, and his movements were vigorous and agile, and he was a little mute who had not seen him for a few days.

The faint light swayed with the pace in the dark night, and a few wisps of light occasionally shone on the thin face of the little mute, and Qin Liu seemed to see a trace of ridicule hooked up at the corner of his lips.

Somehow, she suddenly got a little nervous.

Qin Liu's clenched fist loosened, and he spoke first: "Prince Balsborot, is there anything going on this big night?" ”

Zhu Yue, who was beside her, asked her in surprise: "Do you know Mongolian?" When did you learn it? ”

Qin Liu was a little embarrassed: "I don't remember...... I didn't learn ...... authentically."

She just said the name of the little mute, and as soon as her mouth was bald, she spoke in Mongolian.

She glanced at Zhu Yue wildly, and the corners of her eyes were a little cramping - a grassland prince as big as someone is in front of you, shouldn't you greet politely first?

What kind of noble son, this arrogance is not conducive to the progress of the horse trade, is it good?

Zhu Yue quickly understood her intentions, and smiled at the little mute: "Your Excellency is actually the prince of Mongolia, you were rude last time, don't blame it." "He speaks Mongolian fluently.

The corners of Qin Liu's eyes jumped wildly! Don't open which pot is good? Last time, I beat everyone's ass to pieces......

Qin Liu didn't need to look at it to know that the little mute's face was not good-looking, and the air was so cold that it seemed like ice and snow were blowing.

The little mute's voice was cold and stiff: "It's cold, there may be wolves coming by the lake, go back quickly." ”

The temperature was indeed very low at this time, and the three of them returned to the camp one after another.

Zhu Yue's tent was not far from Qin Liu, so he sent her to the door of her tent and left, and the little mute waited for Zhu Yue to leave, and handed Qin Liu the qi death wind lamp in his hand.

Qin Liu refused to ask for it.

The little mute couldn't help but shove the lamp into her hand and said, "Go out at night, take the lamp, and the wolf won't pounce." ”

Qin Liu carried the lamp into the tent, and the maid Xiaotao was sitting on the chair and napping.

She asked strangely, "Little Peach, why don't you go to sleep?" ”

Xiao Tao woke up immediately and rubbed her eyes: "I want to serve the girl, just sleep here." ”

Qin Liu reluctantly grinded his back molars.

Where did Zhu Yue send a maid to take care of himself, he obviously sent an aunt and grandmother to let him serve!

Heaven and earth, please leave this little aunt and grandmother tomorrow!

Qin Liu reluctantly gave half of the warm and comfortable bed to Xiao Tao, and gave her a warm felt blanket as a quilt.

After washing and sleeping, Qin Liu couldn't sleep for a long time.

This Zhu Yue's martial arts value is outstanding, and he is actually a fan of Lao Zhuang?

Zhuangzi advocates freedom and leisure, he is the first noble grandson of the Ming Dynasty, almost standing at the top of the food chain, a general who pays attention to the first soldier and military order, but in his bones can see through the difference between high and low?

It's a strange thing.

Early the next morning, when Qin Liu got up, he saw two big blue and black circles under Xiao Tao's eyes, and he felt inexplicably guilty in his heart - he felt that he had inadvertently bullied the weak and pitiful little white flower.

She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't find out what was wrong with her behavior, could it be that she was more vigorous when she handed the felt to her?

What is this called?

Qin Liu ate the breakfast brought by the guards and quickly got out of the yurt, she had to quickly find Zhu Yue and return the delicate maid Xiaotao who couldn't afford to wait.

However, not only did he not see Zhu Yue, but even Old Man Lou and Cui Shiwei disappeared.

Qin Liu thought about it and walked towards the three negotiation yurts in the middle of the camp.

Sure enough, from afar, I saw the three yurts surrounded by heavily armed guards, not allowing people to approach at all.

However, the occasional violent quarrel in the yurt can still be distinguished.

In the middle of the night, the people in the negotiation yurt dispersed.

Qin Liu wore a thick cotton jacket and yawned outside Zhu Yue's yurt.

Zhu Yue's face couldn't hide the tiredness, and his eyes lit up a little when he saw Qin Liu: "It's so late, why are you here?" ”

Qin Liu was also polite: "Lord Zhu, the little peach girl is pampered, the days on this grassland are hard, how can she stand it?" You'd better take her back to Xuanfu! ”

Zhu Yue was a little surprised, paused and said: "Xiao Tao is the little maid in my grandmother's room, and her brother made meritorious service for me and begged to come to me, so I transferred her to Xuanfu." You are a young lady who can stand the suffering of the grassland, but she can't stand it as a maid? Hello student training and training, and keep it. ”

Qin Liu stretched out his hands, which had become rough from long-term labor, and said unhappily, "What Miss Qianjin?" I am but a poor widow's family, and I can't afford to serve a maid with ten fingers and long nails.

Training, even more, Lord Zhu, don't be embarrassed for me, I don't sleep in the middle of the night just for this, you have pity on me......"

Before the words fell, Cui Shiwei came over and said anxiously: "Lord Zhu, the miscanthus and sulfur are so much, I can't agree!" ”

Qin Liu's face changed greatly, and he couldn't take care of Xiao Tao anymore, and asked, "How much manganese did they want?" ”

Zhu Yue glanced at Cui Shiwei and said lightly: "Come in and say." ”

After entering the yurt, Zhu Yue whispered, "One thousand catties." You know this? ”

Qin Liu was stunned, this little mute's appetite was really not small.

She said with some shame: "I told him about black powder, and I thought that they could be used to open mines...... Who knows what else is going on with the redcoat cannon......"

There was an unconcealable shock in Zhu Yue's eyes.

Cui Shiwei on the side glared at Qin Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, although you are friendly with Prince Bals, you can't say anything!" ”

Zhu Yue had returned to normal, and he waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay." The redcoat cannon cannons can't be achieved overnight. They won't make black powder on a whim based on your words, I'm afraid they've been plotting for a long time. ”

Qin Liu listened to his deliberately appeased words, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

Xuanfu was the choke pass to resist the southward movement of the Mongol iron cavalry. If the Mongol cavalry wanted to go south, the first stop was to break through Xuanfu.

Zhu Yue was guarding the Xuanfu, if he died under the red-clothed cannon, how could she be embarrassed?
