Before the sun had fully risen, Hua Nong had already arrived at the door of Liu Ruiying's house.

Just as he was hesitating to knock on the door, Liu Ruiying happened to open the door.

"Packed up?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Hua Nong nodded, and there was nothing to clean up.

There was nothing but the broken sword in his hand.

The two of them got off the road, and Jin Ye and the others didn't seem to have gotten up yet.

The hall was empty, and only the proprietress sat alone by the small stove making tea.

"You two woke up so early!"

The proprietress said.

"For people who haven't slept, you can't use the word early riser. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep well lately, but I didn't expect a young man like you to have insomnia. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Yes, yes, Liu Xingqi is a busy man...... It's different from idle people like us. ”

The proprietress said.

"When you're not worried, of course you can fall asleep. Now that I know the taste of sorrow, how can I sleep until dawn so easily?"

The coals in the furnace flickered and dimmed because of the wind.

It's like the stars at night.

The proprietress said jokingly.

With a puff fan in his hand, he is constantly fanning the fire.

It's just that since ancient times, the emigrants have left a lot of poems and verses to see the moon and the stars, but few people have praised this charcoal fire that silently burns to bring light and warmth.

Liu Ruiying stared at the charcoal fire intently, unconsciously a little distracted.

The charcoal fire and the starlight are both so flickering, but the starlight is cold, and the charcoal fire is warm.

It feels completely different.

"I've seen it, but I've never looked at it closely. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"What's the matter, Liu Xingqi hasn't seen a stove?"

The hostess asked.

Otherwise, it's okay for a night or two, but after a long time, it is inevitable that your legs will hurt and your back will hurt because of excessive moisture.

But the old stable's stove was a bit rudimentary......

Such a stove was first seen in the stables of the old stables.

The stables were damp and cold, and until April, when I slept at night, I needed to light a small stove and put it next to my bed to ward off the cold.

The charcoal he burned was also of the worst quality.

Neither roasting meat nor smelting iron, so why use such expensive charcoal coke?

A rusty tin bucket with no bottom.

At a distance of three or five villages from the ground, a grate was installed to isolate the coal ash slag.

The softening of soot and slag will suffocate the flame.

It's okay to be awake during the day, but when you fall asleep, you forget about it.

As long as you can get warm.

The old stable's stove could not sit in the same place for too long.

The proprietress is between the old stableman and the king of Dingxi, Huo Wang.

It doesn't look very elegant, but it's always much better than the old stable's humble rusty iron bucket.

It wasn't until I woke up in the middle of the night that I found that the charcoal fire in the stove had been extinguished.

The most exquisite stove is the small red clay stove that Huo Wang, the king of Dingxi, carried with him.

Liu Ruiying nodded, ready to walk outside the door.

The early morning wind is refreshing, especially for someone like him who didn't sleep much last night, and cool is more effective than warm at this moment.

"The stove is not very good, it is just easy to use and convenient. Making a pot of tea, if you have to go to the big stove, it is a bit too troublesome. ”

The proprietress said.

"It's too hot, and I'm sleepy after drinking. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Don't want some tea?"

The hostess asked.

Liu Ruiying has heard of milk tea, which is a drink made from a mixture of milk and tea.

On the side of the grassland royal court, it is a must-have for every household, but in the era of peace, the five royal domains and the grassland royal court had frequent trade exchanges, and some customs and unique foods also came together.

"There was milk tea today. ”

The proprietress continued.

"Is the milk good?"

The proprietress asked with a smile.

"Is milk tea good?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

In the northwest region of the Five Kings, most people drink dairy products.

As for the south and coast, because of the geographical conditions, soy milk and rice porridge are more popular.

"Delicious!"

Liu Ruiying said.

The proprietress then asked.

"What kind of tea does it see...... Except for flower tea and green tea, everything else is good. ”

As for the central capital, it is impartial, with half on both sides.

"Is the tea good?"

Green tea is too particular about the season.

Once the Qingming Festival passes, it is like a frosted eggplant, and no one cares about it.

Liu Ruiying said.

The most famous teahouses in the central capital, Liu Ruiying has patronized them all.

Looking at those colorful, dry and twisted flowers is like looking at an old woman naked......

It won't make people have the slightest joy, it can only be nausea and nausea.

Although flower tea is available all year round, it is not worrying about supply, but Liu Ruiying always feels that the aroma of this flower tea is too strong and a little pungent after it is brewed.

The appearance of those dry flowers brewed with boiling water in a teacup also made Liu Ruiying extremely disgusted.

"You've never seen tea. ”

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying saw that the proprietress took out a boxy thing from the side of the stove, dark in color and smooth in appearance.

Then, the knife in her sleeve stretched out more than half a foot, and stabbed it on the boxy black block.

He had never seen such a large piece of tea leaves, and he never imagined that there would be a kind of tea in this world that needed to be separated with a knife.

"It's brick tea. It's a specialty. No matter how difficult it is, you will definitely not be able to meet it...... There should be one in the middle capital, but you'll have to work hard to find it. ”

"Is this tea?"

Liu Ruiying's incredible Q&A.

Liu Ruiying asked.

"North by Northwest. ”

The proprietress said.

"Brick Tea...... It's a strange name. Is it a specialty of the Earthquake North Domain?"

This Zhenbei Realm is already in the northernmost part of the Five Great Realms, and the northwest is still a place to the north, isn't that the Grassland Royal Court?

Looking at the pitch-black piece, Liu Ruiying pursed her lips......

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying pondered for a while, and then understood.

But when the proprietress used a knife to open the brick tea, broke it into smaller pieces with her hands and threw it into the boiling water, a strong memory suddenly spread.

Liu Ruiying had never smelled such a strong and turbulent tea fragrance, as if what entered her nasal cavity was not the invisible qi, but a kind of ointment.

What good things can be in the Prairie Court?

How can such an ugly tea drink be delicious?

"You have to use such brick tea to boil milk tea, otherwise it won't taste right. ”

The old bridesmaid said.

"This tea...... It smells so good!"

Liu Ruiying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.

I don't know how to translate what the steppe people call him, but it is said that the pronunciation is very similar to the word "turn". Besides, isn't this shape similar to the "brick"? It's just a name, and it doesn't need to be so particular. On the contrary, I think brick tea sounds good, at least I know what it is. The teahouses in Qingzhou Mansion City are certainly not as good as those in the Middle Capital, but if you look at the bells and whistles on those tea cards, it is also a big head. I just went to that kind of place, and I didn't want to ask, and when I asked, I seemed to be vulgar. I can only stuff my head and be blind, and in the end it doesn't taste good, and I have to swallow it with my face, so I should pay the tuition for this tea ceremony. ”

The proprietress said.

"Why is it called brick tea? The fragrance is so strong, can't you give it a good name?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I've been here for so long, and I haven't heard you have milk here. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

actually chattered a lot with Liu Ruiying.

It can be seen that she loves this brick tea very much.

"I thought Jin Ye was a drinker. Unexpectedly, it is still so inseparable from milk tea. ”

Liu Ruiying smiled and said.

"Then you have to see who's living here. My brother must drink milk tea every morning, if you don't drink it, you will wait for him to attack the nameless fire again and again throughout the day. ”

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying sounded a little profound in this sentence, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt as if he had failed to understand the true meaning.

Helpless, he was also the same as the person who entered the teahouse for the first time to order tea, he was embarrassed to ask, so he could only keep it in his heart.

"It's hard to change your habits. Drinking wine is for temperament, and drinking milk tea is for life. Life always comes before temperament, right? If there is no life, where does the temperament come from? ”

The proprietress said.

"How can I get used to running around? Habits always need to settle down, and it takes time to develop. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"What are your habits in life?"

The proprietress asked suddenly.

But he didn't develop a habit.

Like the big guys, I just live according to it.

He really didn't have any habits.

Originally, my life in the Investigation Division was stable enough, and I also had a lot of leisure.

The knife in the sleeve reaches into the teapot and stirs it constantly, so that the milk and tea can blend better and faster.

The white milk soon became brown and dark.

has a habitual life, which can also be said to be a kind of realm, Liu Ruiying may still live too short, and this realm has not yet reached the edge.

The proprietress opened the lid of the teapot completely, and then added two catties of milk to it.

"You don't lose a knife in your sleeve...... There are so many uses besides killing. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

The milky aroma mixed with the tea aroma is sometimes more attractive.

So much so that Liu Ruiying had forgotten that she wanted to go around the door and blow the cool wind, and sat here wholeheartedly waiting for the milk tea to be cooked.

After stirring about half a cup of tea, the sleeve knife was pulled out of the teapot, and the proprietress put it to her mouth and licked all the milk tea on the knife.

Liu Ruiying looked very nervous......

"Don't worry, it's cleaned every time!

The proprietress said.

As soon as the teapot fell off the table, Liu Ruiying heard footsteps coming downstairs.

"Jin Ye is really accurate! It's not too early or too late. ”

If this is what the proprietress calls "washing", no matter how fragrant and tempting this milk tea is, he doesn't want to drink it.

The milk was put in, and it didn't take long to boil, so the proprietress took a towel to cushion her hands, lifted the teapot off the stove, and put it on the table.

"Liu Xingqi also likes to drink milk tea?"

Jin Ye asked in surprise.

Liu Ruiying said.

There were five porcelain bowls on the table, which were not large, more than two circles smaller than the ones used to drink wine.

I just listened to the proprietress introduce it in detail and wanted to try it. In addition, this aroma is really attractive, and it can't be resisted even below. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

It is more difficult to find someone who has the same habits as you than to find someone who shares your goals.

But having the same habits, in a sense, is also a kind of like-mindedness.

Liu Japanese looked at the steaming milk tea in the bowl, and approached to blow it.

It's so hot that it's hard to drink in one sip.

Jin Ye came over with a big laugh, lifted the teapot, and poured a full bowl for Liu Ruiying.

Then he filled the other four empty bowls on the table.

At this moment, Zheng Yuan's mouth was open, and he took a deep breath of heat outward.

Jin Ye's drinking milk tea is actually the same as drinking.

He saw that Qing Xueqing, Wen Qiwen, and Hua Nong were also the same as himself.

Unexpectedly, when the four of them were still blowing on this milk tea, Jin Ye finished drinking a bowl!

"Liu Xingqi, this milk tea is going to be in one go! Even if it's warm, it will make it taste bad...... If it is completely cooled, it will be even more tasteless! It is better to go to the well water!"

Jin Ye said.

However, the wine has no temperature, and the milk tea is hot after all, Liu Ruiying really can't figure out how he drank it.

Could it be that Jin Ye's throat is beaten with iron?

It was this kind of airfelt comfort that he wanted.

The speed of the third bowl is not so fast.

After that, he poured himself another bowl and drank it up.

After two bowls, Jin Ye's forehead and the tip of his nose already had a layer of fine beads of sweat.

Jin Ye said.

Liu Ruiying tasted it for a while, and felt that it was really delicious, so she added another bowl to herself.

Liu Ruiying joined him and drank the bowl in his hand in one gulp.

"Milk tea is not only delicious, but also filling. If you all drink another bowl, we won't be hungry when we rush to the mine in one go. ”

Jin Ye saw that everyone had finished drinking, so he got up and walked towards the back hall.

There was a simple stable in the small courtyard at the back, and the five horses were ready to go.

After everyone drank it, only the bottom of a pot of milk tea remained.

Milk and tea are mixed with tea residues, but pouring them out also affects the taste.

Even a dog-beating stick called Hanako is not as good as ......

Although Qing Xueqing is a swordsman, she has also used a sword, at least she knows that the sword should not be so dilapidated.

Just as she was on the horse, Qing Xueqing couldn't help but snort when she saw the matching sword on Hua Nong's waist.

In her opinion, where is this a sword

Wen Qiwen leaned over and asked.

"Brother Wen, look at that man's sword!"

Liu Ruiying's long sword in the restaurant, although it is very simple and elegant, is intact and smooth after all.

"What's wrong with Qingmei?"

With his heart, he will definitely not break it, let alone laugh.

It's just that now that Qing Xueqing said this, he had to explain.

Qing Xueqing said in a low voice, stretching out her hand and pointing at Hua Nong's waist.

This tattered sword, Wen Qiwen had already noticed.

"Brother Wen means, this sword is very powerful?"

Qing Xueqing asked suspiciously.

"Qingmei, don't just look at the appearance, there are some things that you can't see. ”

Wen Qiwen said.

The long sword that Hua Nong carried with him didn't know if it could be considered a sword.

Not to mention the lack of a scabbard, the hilt of the sword is also clamped with two pieces of wood at will, and then nailed with nails.

Swords, of course, are good and bad.

Everyone in the world knows that the sword cast by the Ou family in Xiaweizhou can be described as the best.

But anyone who has seen him draw a sword, no matter who it is, will no longer despise this broken and rotten sword.

I knew that looking at this sword again would turn into fear, and I respected it.

It seems that it is not even as good as the toys of rich children.

Of course, there is such an idea because Qing Xueqing has never seen Hua Nong's sword.

Even Liu Ruiying asked Hua Nong if he wanted to change to a good sword.

But he was rejected by Hua Nong.

But they are both respectful and afraid.

I have to say that such a sword on the body is really unsightly.

When it is broken, Huanong has to be replaced if it is not changed.

It stands to reason that what comes naturally is always better than what is done by chance.

Liu Ruiying couldn't force such a thing, so she could only go with him.

Besides, looking at the appearance of the sword, it won't take long.

Change means readapting, and it's something that takes a lot of courage.

And this kind of courage, most people don't have.

Most things in life are helpless, and even if you have the conditions to choose, you will often continue to settle.

No one wants to change the status quo lightly until the last resort.

The more you look forward to, the less you do.

Too many ideas, not enough ability.

At best, it's just a matter of thinking about it and having a good time.

Such an aimless fantasy, the readers gave it a nice name - longing.

"There is nothing powerful about swords, mainly people who use swords. ”

Wen Qiwen said.

Just like a person who doesn't know how to use a sword, even if you give him a peerless sword, it doesn't make any sense.

He may still think that this peerless is so cheap that it is not as good as his family's burning stick.

This question makes it difficult for Wen Qiwen to return.

Because he really doesn't know Hua Nong.

"Brother Wen, how do you know that this person is very powerful with a sword......"

Qing Xueqing broke the casserole and asked to the end.

Qing Xueqing saw that Wen Qiwen did not answer her question, but chose to be silent, a little dissatisfied.

Pouted, clamped the horse between his legs, and walked forward on his own.

I don't know if he is a powerful swordsman or an ordinary person with some quirks.

can see that Liu Ruiying is very serious about him, of course Wen Qiwen will choose the former.

Whether a person is powerful or not is not something that is said, and it is not something that can be seen.

But he secretly made up his mind in his heart that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely make a sword to open the eyes of this little girl.

Hua Nong's ears were sharp, and he naturally heard the discussion about himself behind him.

But he didn't care.

But he began to ask for advice.

"Does Liu Xingqi know about hardware?"

"Master Jin, we only have iron ore in Hongzhou?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Liu Ruiying replied.

He had read all these basic things in the study school of the Investigation Division.

Jin Ye asked rhetorically, and did not answer his question directly.

"Gold, silver, copper, lead and iron can be described as hardware. ”

If one of them is missing, the person's ethics will often be chaotic, and the social order will become turbulent.

If you want to be in the world, you can't talk about it.

The teacher in the school said that in ancient times, people were divided into ten classes.

From the most noble emperor, the sword is lowly and the platform, everything is indispensable.

The most precious in the hardware, I am afraid that there will be a place in the land of thousands of miles that can be produced, and no matter how bad it is, it will take 800 miles.

And the lowliest, not only the reserves are huge, but the production area is also blooming everywhere.

Hardware, on the other hand, is a gift from heaven and earth.

On the one hand, it is for people to use, and on the other hand, it is also consistent with this way of living in the world.

"That's right, gold is the most precious hardware in the world, but the production is also the rarest. But few people know that gold and iron are the two highest and cheapest things in hardware, but they can be accompanied. ”

Jin Ye said.

It's like the king of the human race, one in a million.

But ordinary people are like carp crossing the river, like the water of the river, gushing endlessly.

"It's not absolute, it's just a probability. It is not for nothing that gold appears alone, but this man desires it. If you find iron, you must look around carefully to see if there is any gold. After all, the price of gold is nearly sixteen,000 times higher than that of iron. ”

Jin Ye said.

"Companions, could it be that iron ore and gold ore could appear at the same time?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

There are also partners in the Investigation Division at the same time, and they were transferred to the Shanjin Bureau as an errand by King Qingzhong.

It is the largest metallurgical place in the five kingdoms of the world.

Liu Ruiying nodded.

Although he had never seen gold and iron ore, he was very familiar with gold and iron.

This is not the same as silver.

When one of the white flowers melts in the furnace, there will be no loss, and there will be no sparkling.

Liu Ruiying heard them talk about what they had seen and heard in the Shanjin Bureau.

Once the gold is melted and smelted into shape, it never changes.

This is the reason why metallurgy is very affordable, and it makes gold even more precious.

"Is there gold near the iron mine in Hongzhou?"

But when the gold enters the furnace, every time the bellows next to the furnace is pulled, a golden flower will flicker, and the more fierce the fire, the more times the golden flower appears.

With every flash, a little bit of gold is lost.

Jin Ye said.

"Where there is a lot of gold, it should be in the Pingnan and Andong kingdoms. The gold over there was strange, it was all in its own right, there was no iron around, and there was no other mineral deposit. There is only one type of waste that the locals call "Companion Stone". The miners chose a good location along the full part of the mine, and dug deeper for more than ten zhang in one breath, and they could see a brown stone. It smells burnt, like charcoal that has been used once. Once you find this stone, you can start drinking and celebrating!"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Nothing has been found yet. These hardware are the creation of heaven and earth. What should appear is beyond the reach of manpower, but it is also undemanding. ”

Liu Ruiying shook her head with a smile and said.

"Liu Xingqi is a little biased...... Although everyone in this world thinks so now, I always feel that God does not create something for no reason and let it lie quietly next to gold, just so that people can one day throw away gold when they find it. ”

Jin Ye said.

"It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rat ears will make holes. I thought that this thing that grows with gold should also be very precious, but I didn't expect it to be worthless. ”

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I can't say what the use is...... I just don't think it should be so useless. I was born to be useful, but if this "companion stone" is of no use at all, why did I give birth to it that day?

Jin Ye said.

"What does Jin Ye mean, what other wonderful uses does this "Companion Golden Stone" have?"

But things and people are not the same.

People have thoughts, and they can put them into action.

Jin Ye said.

Liu Ruiying thought about it, this truth is not bad.

Even if they have ideas, they want to make a difference, but they can't.

However, Liu Ruiying knew that something called a touchstone was originally a rag that no one cared about in the ditch, but when gold appeared, this momentum suddenly became popular.

The thing just stayed where it was.

Mineral deposits, in particular, are buried deep under the ground and remain unchanged for thousands of years.

As for how this touchstone is used, Liu Ruiying doesn't know, but has only seen it from a book.

But thinking about it like this, he felt that what Jin Ye said was good.

Some touchstones are as big as a car bucket, others as small as a fist.

When you put them in the goose soup, they will become black and shiny, as if they have been painted.

If one day you do discover the wonderful use of these companion stones, they may not be much cheaper than gold.

At least a good touchstone can even be higher than the price of gold.

Now people don't think it's any use, not the same way people did with it earlier?

It's not that it's useless, it's just that it's not ready to be used.

"What kind of insight is this, it's just some ideas, empty talk. But Liu Xingqi, I won't hide it from you, I really collected a lot of this 'companion stone' and stored it in the basement of the house. It's cheap, but maybe one day it will come in handy and be prepared. ”

Jin Ye said.

"Jin Ye still has a vision! Just based on the insight of this pair of 'companion stones', it must be rare in the world. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Alas...... I'm also a little anxious. The disadvantage of having strength is that you dare to think and dare to do, but if you are not careful, you will often end up losing all the games......"

Jin Ye sighed and said.

"Not everyone has it. What is more important is the strength to support one's vision. Like now, I feel more and more that this 'companion gold stone' may be of great use, but I don't have the strength to be as generous as Jin Ye. ”

Liu Ruiying smiled and said.

"Of course! I had just come to the mine. I happened to meet the wolf rider. You know, in this iron ore business, your favorite thing is to fight. How many iron tools can the common people use all year round? If you make a pot, maybe it will be good for your grandson's generation to use a knife. Only when there is a war, the army needs to build a large number of weapons, armor tents, and arrows, and even those war horses, don't they also need four horseshoes? I caught up with that good time, and while selling iron ore to the Zhenbei and Dingxi royal domains, I managed to get the paperwork that could refine weapons. ”

Jin Ye said.

"Could it be that Jin Ye also has a time when he takes the wrong path?"

Liu Ruiying felt that what Jin Ye said was extremely emotional, and it didn't seem like an ordinary emotion.

It is mainly the archery bureau of the official camp, and the ordnance bureau does not have so many people.

After all, no one can predict the size of the war, and the length of its duration.

Although the Five Great Princes allowed individuals to mine mineral deposits, they could not forge armor privately, and once discovered, it was equivalent to rebellion, and it was a felony to lose one's head.

But in wartime, this law becomes ambiguous and dispensable.

Of course, after all the finished products are baked, they must be sold to the housekeeper, and there must be no private collection.

Although the price is kept very low, the number left is huge.

At this time, a mine owner like Jin Ye is the housekeeper's preferred partner.

The Arrow Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau will issue the corresponding license documents to Jin Ye, and Jin Ye can start casting arrows and weapons.

Many people with hot eyes want to come and get a piece of the pie, even if they say that they have a bad mouth and a broken leg, it is useless.

Liu Ruiying only knew that Jin Ye made a fortune from iron mines, but he didn't expect that he actually made war money.

Even if a set of A set of accounts can only earn a few dollars of silver, tens of thousands of sets are still a lot of income.

What's more, those who can get this kind of document are not ordinary people.

Liu Ruiying nodded.

The value of antiques in the Taiping and prosperous times is high, and the value of yellow is high when mixed.

"Prosperous gold, troubled antiques, this sentence must be very familiar to Liu Xingqi. ”

Jin Ye said.

Antiques and the like were even less valuable at that time!

Maybe a three-hundred-year-old bronze tripod can't be exchanged for a bowl of rice porridge.

During the war years, a large reserve of gold was the wisest choice for the wealthy.

Because anything else will be devalued by war.

"This ...... Can gold be faked?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I also had this in mind, so I bought a lot of gold from the Anton Domain, but I didn't think about it, but I was deceived and lost all my money......"

Jin Ye said with a wry smile.

Liu Ruiying must not have known, so she had to look at Jin Ye with a confused face.

"There is only one mineral deposit in gold that can be adulterated, and that is silver!"

"Not only can gold be counterfeited, but it is also very sophisticated. Those who are not good enough to counterfeit gold are also ruthless! Liu Xingqi, do you know what can only be mixed with gold?"

Jin Ye asked.

Liu Ruiying said.

"Although silver is worth more than iron, it is much cheaper than gold...... Every tael of the gold I bought was mixed with thirty percent of silver. ”

Jin Ye said.

"Isn't silver mixed with gold?"

"And where does the gold and silver end up?"

Liu Ruiying asked with concern.

Jin Ye stretched out his finger and gestured.

Although it has been many years, when I mention it again, I still feel a little sad.

Jin Ye said.

"It's incredible that time can produce such a wonderful change......"

This is an aspect that he has never understood or touched, and it really arouses interest.

"If you want to remove the silver and save the gold, you have to break all the miscellaneous gold into thin sheets. Then let the workers use scissors to cut it into slag little by little. Then a large pot of boiling water, throw all the crumbs into the boiling for an hour. After taking it out, take advantage of the heat, wrap each piece with mud to make sure that it is airtight. In this way, it was placed in a cool place, and it stood still for about three days and two nights, and all the soil was thrown into the furnace for refining, so that the silver in it would be absorbed by the soil, and the gold water would naturally flow out, which was the most essential gold. ”

Liu Ruiying asked.

"There is a way, but it is thankless. The lesson has been eaten, and it is with him. Others think that I changed my surname to avoid suspicion. Moreover, "gold" and "green" are also homonyms. But in fact, I changed my family's surname so that I could remember the lesson of that time. ”

Liu Ruiying muttered to herself.

"What about the silver that has been absorbed by the dirt? But there's a way to get them out?"

At the beginning, when the proprietress told him about Jin Ye, Liu Ruiying felt that it was because of his identity as the owner of the mine, and he had a lot of gold, so others gave him a rather loud nickname based on this.

Later, when he heard about the past and entanglements in Qingfu, he naturally thought that Jin Ye was evading.

Jin Ye said.

Liu Ruiying didn't expect that Jin Ye's "gold" character would have such a tortuous and complicated origin.

A simple surname, but it condenses a piece of Jin Ye's unforgettable past.

couldn't help but feel a little admired by Liu Ruiying for Jin Ye.

As a result, in the end, Liu Ruiying felt that she still underestimated Jin Ye's pattern.

He is not an ordinary rich man, nor is he a man who would rather abandon everything and change his face in order to escape.

He turned his back to the crowd, as if he were looking into the distance.

Jin Ye's gaze stared for a moment, and then smiled.

While he was pondering, the horse under Jin Ye's crotch suddenly stopped.

There was a man standing not far ahead.

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Liu Xingqi, didn't your mouth open up?"

Jin Ye said.

There are many clever people in the world, but if you stand still and don't move, you can't tell whether you are clever or not.

This is different only from the little wit.

Jin Ye didn't answer, raised his whip and pointed ahead.

Liu Ruiying frowned and squinted, wasn't that person a little clever?

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Counting today, it's been three and a half days! With his figure, even if he is in the North King City, he can walk back and forth twice. ”

Even if he stood in place and was motionless in a daze, his cleverness could withstand the wind and sand on the mine.

"Three more days after he left?"

When they got closer, the little clever turned around and beckoned to Liu Ruiying and Jin Ye, with a loud whistle in his mouth.

As a result, when the horses on which they had been seated, when they heard the whistle, spread their hooves at the same time and galloped away.

Jin Ye said.

The crowd walked slowly on their horses and walked forward step by step.

When Juli, who was only half a foot away from the little ghost, a whistle sounded from his mouth again.

The five galloping horses suddenly stopped in place, and there was a heavy gasp in their nostrils.

No matter how much you pull the reins, it won't help.

"Well, I'm pretty good at these horses, aren't I?!"

"Actually, I didn't tame ...... It's just that I gave your sister fresh carrots every night during the days I was there. And it's whistling and feeding. It's only been a few days, but these beasts are used to it. Just heard my whistle and thought there were carrots to eat again, so why don't you run towards me?"

Little Clever said.

"I don't even know when you're going to tame a horse. ”

Jin Ye said.

Obviously, the horse under the crotch just now galloped down without control.

Fortunately, Wen Qiwen held her shoulder, otherwise Qing Xueqing would have to fall from the horse......

Then he took out five fresh carrots from his bosom and stuffed them into the horse's mouth one by one.

Qing Xueqing's face turned pale......

"Where have you been these three days?"

Jin Ye asked.

Jin Ye and Liu Ruiying turned over and dismounted.

When I saw the little wit, I wanted to say a few words.

"Master Jin, it seems that your mouth has also been opened!"

Liu Ruiying teased with a smile.

"Earthquake North King City. ”

Little Clever said.

The little ghost stretched out his right index finger and shook it at the two of them.

Jin Ye and Liu Ruiying were both a little disappointed......

"But what's funny going on?"

Jin Ye asked.

Little Clever said.

Qing Xueqing was helped off the horse by Wen Qiwen.

The little ghost refused to say, even if it killed him, he would never say half a word.

"It's peaceful in Zhenbei King City, but on the way back, I saw a very interesting thing!"

Jin Ye said.

Untied a water bladder from the horse's back and handed it over, filled with spirits.

As soon as she heard that the little ghost had something funny, she immediately came to the front and completely forgot the unpleasantness of being teased by the little ghost.

"Tell me what's going on!"

"Do you think it's funny for a dozen big men to follow a carriage?"

The little ghost asked.

No drinking, no talking, this is the habit of a little clever.

The little clever opened the water bladder, poured a few mouthfuls happily, and rubbed his mouth with his sleeve, and then he opened his mouth and said:

"A dozen big men are following a carriage with a girl in it?"

The little ghost asked.

"It's not fun......"

Jin Ye and Liu Ruiying said in unison.

The little ghost said after a few more sips of wine.

"How do you know they're not from the Five Great Realms?"

Liu Ruiying and Jin Ye looked at each other and smiled, the story became interesting only when it got to this point.

"Isn't it a very unusual thing that a dozen or so masters who are not masters of the Five Great Princes are following a carriage with three girls? They are not robbers, nor are they the retinue of the three girls. But that's how unhurriedly they follow. The carriage stopped, they stopped, the carriage moved, they moved. ”

Little Clever said.

"What does that scimitar look like?"

Liu Ruiying caught the key point at once.

"With their mannerisms, and the scimitar at their waist. ”

The little ghost gestured with his hand.

Liu Ruiying became more and more frightened the more she listened, and she couldn't help but gasp.

Liu Ruiying asked, faintly uneasy and throbbing in her heart.

"The blade is much wider than the ordinary scimitar, and the sword is raised high, so you can make an upside down!"

His tone trembled a little because of his eager feelings.

"It's not far from here...... It seems that the direction is also towards the mine. If you really come, it is estimated that you will be able to reach it in another day. ”

"Where are they?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Jin Ye asked

He noticed Liu Ruiying's strange appearance.

The little wit thought for a moment and said.

"What did Liu Xingqi find?"

If you want to say that the loudest name on the northwest ground is now, it is not Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, nor Huo Wang, the king of Dingxi, let alone Sun Deyu, Jin Peng, Yuedi, Liu Ruiying and others, but Jing Yao.

People who are a little more well-informed already know that the initiator of the robbery of the four million military salaries and silver on both sides of the Zhenbei Royal Domain this time is the prince of the grassland royal court, Jing Yao.

"I've seen the scimitar that the little clever guy just said. If the expectation is good, that person is Jing Yao. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

The little ghost spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.

Jin Ye was silent for a moment, and invited the ghost to go to the mine together, but the little ghost refused, and the place he wanted to go to was Jin Ye's house.

If this is the case, it is really not in vain for Liu Xingqi's hard work. But why did Jing Yao and the others follow behind a carriage with three little girls in it?"

Jin Ye asked.

According to his words, he hasn't eaten a single meal or slept in the past three days.

However, Jin Ye and Liu Ruiying knew it.

The little wit is nothing more than gluttony......
