Huo Jingzhi and the three of them stayed in the hot spring villa until the afternoon before leaving.

When getting into the carriage, Prince Wenruo looked at Huo Junyao with a look of hope and asked; "Cousin, can I still come to you to play in the future?"

"Of course, Your Highness can come whenever he wants."

"But you can't just think about playing, you need to study hard."

Hearing this, Prince Wenruo nodded vigorously with great joy and said that he would definitely study hard.

After sending Huo Jingzhi and the others away, Huo Junyao returned to his small courtyard and asked Xiaochan to call to forget the summer.

"I'm afraid that the news of this white sugar will spread soon, you have to pay attention to it, this is a good publicity opportunity."

Forget Xia nodded again and again, saying that he would teach everyone as soon as possible.

Then there are factories and tools and other people, the factory is relatively simple, after all, it is ancient times, and it is naturally impossible to have all kinds of precision machinery like later generations.

And she has a lot of people in her hands now, and it's really not a problem to build a few big houses.

"By the way, Xiaochan, how did I ask you to inquire some time ago?"

"There's no news on this yet."

"Why is the young lady looking for that stone nirvana? That's not a good thing, I've heard it's poisonous. ”

Hearing this, Huo Junyao smiled and said; "It's a good thing, but if it's poisonous or something, it's just that others won't deal with it."

The stone in Xiaochan's mouth is Huo Junyao's coal in later generations, although with the development of science and technology in later generations, many places where coal is often used have been replaced.

But it is undeniable that this is a good thing when technology is not developed.

Especially in ancient societies such as the Yu Dynasty, the usefulness of coal was even greater.

The biggest point is heating, there is no cotton in the Yu Dynasty, there are such things as quilts, so heating has become a big problem, and the upper class can also use animal fur.

But the people at the bottom will suffer very much.

It can be said that people who die from the cold every winter abound.

And if coal is used well, this can also give ordinary people some chance to live.

In addition to heating, there is also the fact that the temperature of coal is much higher than that of firewood, which she will use for many things in the future.

Naturally, I have to take advantage of the fact that the big guys haven't discovered this good thing yet, and first find a way to pull more into their own name.

"You have to make people grasp this tightly, and strive to find it as soon as possible."

Xiaochan responded again and again.

In the next few days, Huo Junyao was relatively idle, and at the same time, news came back from Xiaochan's side.

found the stone she needed about two or three hundred miles away from the capital.

With this discovery, Huo Junyao immediately became interested, and took people to investigate that day.

The convoy was huge, and this time she also brought fifty escorts with her.

Halfway through the road, when passing through a dense forest, a bad feather arrow suddenly flew out of the forest.

"Enemy attack, protect the county lord."

The leader of the guards immediately roared, and the guards drew their weapons and waited for them.

Inside the carriage, Huo Junyao and the others' faces changed, and Red Sleeves and Xiaochan immediately protected Huo Junyao behind them.

"What's going on? Enemy attacks from there. ”

Xiaochan opened her mouth in a little panic, and when her words fell, she heard the sound of clanging and killing outside.

"Xiaochan, you protect Miss, I'll go out and take a look."

Red Sleeves turned his head to look at Xiaochan with a solemn face.

"Be careful."

Huo Junyao's brain was also a little confused at this time, what the hell was the enemy attack?

However, when Red Sleeves lifted the curtain, through the curtain, she saw that her guards were fighting a pair of men in black outside, and between the collision of blades, blood could be faintly seen.

"Who are you? Since he dared to attack the lord of the dynasty. ”

The leader of the guards shouted as he fought the men in black.

However, the man in black on the opposite side ignored him at all, and his attack became more and more ruthless, and in a short time, more than ten of the fifty guards suffered casualties.

The red sleeves on the wheel of the carriage saw this scene, and the solemn color on his face became even stronger.

As Huo Junyao's secret guard and maidservant, she would not leave the carriage to help at this moment.

After all, protecting Huo Junyao's safety is the most important thing, at this time, there is only Xiaochan, a girl who doesn't know martial arts, in the carriage, if she still goes to help, someone attacks the carriage, and the consequences are unimaginable.

"Red-sleeved girl, these thieves are not weak, you drive back with the county lord, and we will find a way to drag them down."

The leader of the guards also saw that these men in black were not idle.

In such a short period of time, their side has suffered a lot of casualties.

Although they were all just people recruited by Huo Junyao from the people, after several months of training, their strength was not bad, and they were a little unable to resist in the face of these thieves at this time.

It is enough to show the strength of these men in black.

"Then be careful."

Red sleeves didn't talk nonsense, she also saw that these people in black were not ordinary, judging from their skills, these people's moves were all killing moves, as a secret guard, she knew that this must be a dead soldier raised by some people.

Appearing here at this time must also be for her young lady.

As the words fell, she turned and shouted into the carriage; "Xiaochan escorted Miss to sit firmly."

As soon as Xiaochan in the carriage protected Huo Junyao, she heard the neighing of horses and the sound of whips breaking through the air outside.

The next moment, the carriage began to vibrate violently.

"Chase, can't let her run."

When the man in black saw that the carriage began to turn around, he immediately gave orders to his companions.

"If you want to pass, you have to pass our level first."

"Brothers, how good is the county lord to us, now these thieves want to assassinate the county lord, it's time for our brothers to repay the favor, stop them and let the county lord be harmed."

As soon as the leader of the guards spoke, the guards around him responded.

They were originally not from good backgrounds, food and clothing were a problem, and after becoming Huo Junyao's guard, Yue Fenggao didn't say anything, he ate well and dressed well.

In particular, the county lord is also very kind to people, not only has he treated them badly, but even after the workshop was established, he took the initiative to ask their family if they were willing to come.

Now many of their families are working in Huo Junyao's workshop, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they still have wages, so I don't know how much better their living standards are compared to before.

They are all grateful to Huo Junyao in their hearts, and today Huo Junyao was assassinated, on the one hand, they wanted to repay the favor with gratitude, and on the other hand, they didn't want Huo Junyao to have an accident.

After all, this is a good life for their whole family in the future, if something happens to Huo Junyao, their guards will be in big trouble first, and then the workshop, will it be yellow.

So these people have to be stopped, even if they are seriously injured or killed.

This is not only for Huo Junyao, but also for themselves and their families.

And judging from Huo Junyao's kind attitude in the past, they believed that even if she died in battle, she would definitely not treat her family badly.
