The people walked on the mountain for a day, during which they killed countless small animals, and all of them became everyone's lunch at noon.

Finally, near evening, I came to the mountain stream with a light brown stream, which gushed out from under a stone and flowed down for less than a hundred meters before flowing back into a crack in the ground.

With the test results of the previous Black Water Pool, Ren Baqian has a lot of confidence this time, and this must be another kind of brine he found.

Ren Baqian continued to lick it with his fingers, although it was poisonous, but this dose did not cause any harm.

It was also very salty and bitter, worse than the taste of the black water pool, which made Ren Baqian directly excited. Then he re-dipped his index finger with a happy face and gently licked the middle finger in his mouth.

"Nice, a little sweet. Ren Baqian nodded slightly.

"How is that possible?" Nagu didn't believe it, and wanted to go up and try it.

However, someone moved much faster than her, and several students followed Ren Baqian's example and dipped in some water and licked it, and their faces twitched, like sun-dried orange peels.

"Liar!" Tonglan twitched and pointed at Ren Baqian to accuse.

"Huh, don't you think it's sweet?" Ren Baqian said in surprise. "Does this water taste different in different mouths?"

As soon as he said this, the other students also stepped forward to try it, and then they all twitched their faces.

A pair of hateful eyes fell directly on Ren Baqian.

"Science is like that, no matter what others say, it's not as good as trying it yourself. It's not just about trying, it's about why. Ren Baqian put on a kind face as a teacher, and followed the good path.

"You're clearly lying to us. Tonglan said disdainfully, her eyes kept looking around, to see if there were any wild fruits or anything like that.

Then his eyes lit up, and his body jumped seven or eight meters away, picking a bunch of wild fruits the size of red cherries, and then put them in his mouth with a proud face.

"Then you will know my painstaking efforts. Ren Baqian said as he threw a piece of White Rabbit toffee into his mouth, and the expression on his face immediately relaxed.

"Fetch water. "Ren 8,000 Dao, this time I took a little more, there are twenty bottles. If these brine are as you think, then the ratio of blending with black brine should always be experimented, and there is no harm in bringing more.

After all, it's a little farther here.

After the guards filled the water with bottles, Ren Baqian looked at the sky and asked Nagu, "Is there a place near here where I can spend the night?"

"The nearest one is a half-day walk, and there is too much delay when I come. Nagu said.

"Then let's look around here for a suitable place. They all went to look for them, and came back in half an hour, and by the way, they hunted some prey. Ren Baqian said to the guards, and even if most of the guards dispersed, some of the students followed.

"Is it really possible to get edible salt from Blackwater Pool and here?" asked Nagu after the guards left.

"It should work. Ren Baqian didn't say it was too full. "So your stockade may not need to hunt in the future. ”

"What do we eat if we don't hunt?" Nagu felt that Ren Baqian was saying stupid things, even if he could really get salt, he couldn't eat it as food.

"In the future, there will be a salt factory in this mountain, which belongs to the Ministry of Industry and the royal family. You can choose to work in a salt factory, so you don't have to hunt hard. Of course, you can continue to hunt, but I'm afraid that you will have to go a long way, and so many people will definitely scare the prey away. Or apply for compensation and move the stockade somewhere else. ”

"Oh!" Nagu nodded.

Ren Baqian looked at her, thinking that there would be a bigger reaction, after all, their stockade has always been here.

"Did you eat salt after that?" asked Nagu, who seemed more concerned about the issue. After all, the prey in the mountains seems to her to be innumerable, even if she doesn't hit it today, she won't hit it tomorrow, she can always hit it the day after tomorrow, and she won't starve to death.

The impact of the development of the salt works on the stockade was something she could not have imagined that far. But if you don't eat salt, you don't have strength, she knows that.

"Yes!" Ren Baqian nodded.

If there is not enough salt here. Then go to the sea of Yunguo, there will always be salt to eat.

"That's good!" Nagu said delightfully.

"My lord, can you really make salt here?" the two Ministry officials asked aloud, their faces full of disbelief.

Only now did the two of them know what Ren Baqian was doing with everyone in the mountains.

Ren Baqian looked at the two of them carefully, and then remembered the identities of the two. The sense of existence of the two is too low, and he has almost forgotten about these two people in the past few days.

"Yes!" Ren Baqian nodded. "But how to get it, we have to go back and study it. ”

"Great, great!" the two said again and again, salt is a pimple in everyone's hearts, and for so many years, there has been nothing to do, and it has been pinched in the hands of merchants from the other three countries.

Now that they can make salt here, it really makes the two of them excited.

After a while, all the guards returned, and one of them found a suitable place, which was the corner between the two mountain walls, and only had to pay attention to the beasts on the other side of the night. And there is a protruding rock above, which can be sheltered in case it rains at night.

Ren Baqian took everyone to take a look, and it would be good to be able to find such a place for a while.

Then everyone scattered to look for prey, and the animals in this area were unlucky, and even if they got into the hole, they would be caught by a few students.

When it got dark, everyone returned, and they caught a dozen small beasts that looked like deer, called dwarfs, more than forty of a fat mouse-like animal were strung together, as well as two pythons and a flower bear...... There are also a number of wild fruits.

Ren Baqian saw that the innocent giant panda went up and kicked it.

"My lord, although this thing is a little unpalatable, I can't find much to eat for a while. The guard said with an aggrieved face, his face full of expressions of adults making do with eating. And there are so many other prey, and you can't eat this thing if it's unpalatable.

"Forget it, deal with it quickly, keep the bear paw for me. Ren Baqian stared at him for a long time, and finally sighed.

The giant panda is a national treasure on earth, but it is an animal that is not very delicious and can be found everywhere, except for selling stupidity.

Of course, the attack power is actually not weak, and it is about the same as that of a bear.

Then he found a place to rest near the mountain wall, and watched the guards fire there. Other guards and some students took their prey to a nearby water source for disposal.

An hour later, Ren Baqian used two wooden sticks and four bear paws to flip over the fire, and the aroma of barbecue and spices wafted out.

But it's not just his hands, but the other meats roasted on the fire also smell like that.

Ren Baqian waited for the bear paw to be a little cold and took a bite of it, the taste, generally, not very fat, worse than the pig's trotters, and immediately lost the desire to continue gnawing, threw the bear paw to others, and took two dwarf beast legs to gnaw on, this taste is much better.

As the moon grew higher, the howls of wild beasts began to be heard in the distance, and the occasional sound of animals running in the woods not far away could be heard.

The people were not worried about the attack of wild beasts, and if they did, the supper would have been over.

It's a pity that instead of supper, I waited for a pouring rain.

The weather in the mountains changed as it went, and in less than a minute, when the first drop of rain fell on the face, most of the fire was knocked down, and everyone shrank under the big rock.

"Watch the top, don't fall off. "He was afraid that if the soil loosened, the boulder would smash himself into a patty.

"Don't worry, sir. Shi Hu turned his head, and his face was raining.

Many guards were outside, blocking most of the wind and rain for Ren Baqian and many students inside.

It rained for two hours, and the guards outside were almost soaked.

Early the next morning, Ren Baqian and his party ate some wild fruits to fill their stomachs a little and set off to return.

It rained last night, and the road on the mountain was much more difficult, especially the leaves were full of water, and everyone was wet and dry at noon.

It was not until the evening that the people returned to the stockade hungry and almost wiped out the remaining rations in the stockade.

The hunting party has not returned after two days, and if they don't come back tomorrow, they will probably go hungry.

After resting for the night, Ren Baqian drove most of the guards out to hunt early the next morning, and the students all went to the river to fish, fishing with their fingers.

I was basking in the sun in the stockade.

In the evening, the guards who had been driven out to hunt returned with their prey, and the two hunting teams also returned with their prey on their front and back feet, so that everyone did not go hungry.

In the evening, Ren Baqian returned to Earth again with two kinds of brine, and asked the laboratory to help test and find out the mixing ratio.

By the time he returned to Da Yao, his heart had been completely put down, and there was no problem with making salt.

As soon as he turned on the radio, he heard the empress's angry voice.

"Li Qianqiu, how many days do you have to arrive in Yusheng City?"

"Your Majesty, the front of the minister will arrive tomorrow. ”

"Wait until all the troops have arrived, and then attack and kill them all. The empress said coldly.

"Yes!" Li Qianqiu said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Ren Baqian felt a sigh in his heart, something happened to Yusheng City? Could it be that the city was broken? It was so fast? Da Yao was really fierce.

After listening for a while, he understood that Yusheng City was indeed broken, and it was directly dug into the city by a sect of Great Xia, and then a large number of warriors from the Great Xia sect entered the city through the hole and set fire everywhere, and there were 100,000 Great Xia troops outside.

It only took half a day to break.

Less than 300 of the 2,500 troops were evacuated, and 5,000 of the 40,000 civilians were killed.

Yes, died in battle.

Da Yao's ordinary civilians also have considerable combat effectiveness.

However, it was still difficult for untrained civilians to affect the overall situation when facing the 100,000 Great Xia army and many masters of the Great Xia Jianghu Sect.

In this battle, the Great Xia army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, while Da Yao's losses were more than 2,000 sergeants and 5,000 civilians.

The battle loss ratio between the two sides has reached two to one, and such a ratio is already terrifying for Da Yao.

You must know that there are currently more than 500,000 troops on the front line in Great Xia, and there are still 200,000 troops in Great Xia ready to go.

And Da Yao's entire military strength, plus the recruits who are still in training, is only 110,000. At present, the 30,000 troops of the Northern Protectorate and the 8,000 troops of the Central Protectorate have not yet arrived, as well as the 1,200 flying cavalry led by the empress, but only 50,000.

So far, after the two battles of Ziyue City and Yusheng City, the Great Yao Army has lost more than 6,000 people, while the Great Xia Army has lost no more than 70,000 people.

Among them, those Jianghu sects in Great Xia played a great role.

Next, Da Yao will use 44,000 warriors to block the 430,000 army of Great Xia and the warriors of the Jianghu sect who currently do not know the specific number, and at the same time, he must also be careful of the 200,000 Great Xia army that may be thrown into the front line at any time.
