Xiao Jing looked at the sharp arrow, snorted coldly, and threw it out. In an instant, the sharp arrow was deeply embedded in a pillar a few feet away.

"Whoever comes here will be killed without mercy!" he said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Shuanghua had already returned carrying a man in white clothes, and he threw the man to the ground.

"Master, one person was captured alive, and the others took poison and committed suicide!"

He opened his palm and there were two teeth on it, "They all have huge poison hidden in their teeth!"

"What are you doing here? Give it to Wu Yan!" Lou Xingyun said dissatisfied. He stepped forward and used his feet to turn the man over on the ground, making him face the sky, and then stepped on his chest. " Who sent you here? If you tell me who sent you here, you will die quickly!"

The man in white looked at him, smiled sadly, and there was blood from the corner of his mouth. Leng Shuanghua hurriedly knelt down to check, and immediately looked at Lou Xingyun with an unhappy face, "Brother, please be gentle, you scared him so much that he bit his tongue and committed suicide!"

Lou Xingyun retracted his foot angrily, blaming himself because he didn't even exert any force when he stepped on it.

Leng Shuanghua checked the body up and down, inside and out. There was nothing on this man except scars all over his body!

"It's a dead soldier who was not trained well!" Xiao Jing said, looking at the corpse and seeing the bright red blood stains in the snow, he felt it was very dazzling.

Xiao Jing entered the tent and said, "Check everyone around you and return to Beijing in two days!"

"Yes!" Lou Xingyun responded, immediately leading Leng Shuanghua and the others.

Although Yuan Chuyi was worried about Xiao Jing, she didn't know that he was in many dangers at this time. In addition to busying herself with strawberries in the field, she also led people to prepare charcoal for the winter.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Most of the villagers in Xishan Village have finished their farm work in the fields. Those who do not go out to do odd jobs are all peeling corn kernels by the fire at home.

Since there were still embroiderers working in the family at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, they could not sew cotton clothes by the fire. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, they thought about buying some charcoal to burn and put in the house to keep them warm. But Xuanfeng went to several markets in the city for a few days, but he didn't see anyone selling charcoal. When he asked the people in the village, there weren't many people who knew how to make charcoal.

"What's so difficult about burning charcoal?" Yuan Chuyi asked in confusion.

The village chief chuckled, "It seems easy to burn charcoal, but few in our village can do it well. A pit of firewood is often burned to ashes. And this charcoal cannot be sold for money, only one or two cents per kilogram." , who is willing to do this hard work. We country folk can just burn firewood to keep warm!"

On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she didn’t want to sit by the smoky fire to keep warm. When winter came last year, she and Shishiliu were the only ones at home who could warm themselves by the stove. This year, there are so many people in the family, and they wanted to warm themselves by the stove. It can't be surrounded.

"Xuan Yue, dig a charcoal kiln and we will burn it ourselves!"

Xuan Yue was stunned and said, "Madam, I have never done this kind of work before. I don't know what kind of shape this charcoal kiln will be dug into. If you ask me to do this work, I'm afraid you have to teach me how to do it!"

Yuan Chuyi frowned, "Wait!"

She knew the principles of burning charcoal, but she really didn't know the actual operation. She is also an armchair strategist!

Fortunately, she has a blessing!

She quickly went back to her room and asked Fu Bao for help. Fu Bao is not stingy, after all, this era has already had charcoal, so it is not an act that is ahead of its time. Fubao immediately gave her a guide to making charcoal, and even gave her a copy of the charcoal kiln design.

On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he copied down the method of burning charcoal and gave it to Xuan Yue together with the design drawing of the charcoal kiln.

"I don't know how to burn it either. You can figure it out according to what's written above!"

Xuan Yue looked at the cheat sheet, which was messy in the wind. The above methods and steps are all complete, but I just don’t know how to start. I don’t even know where to dig the charcoal cellar.

"Go find the second uncle. He is an old man in the village and has experienced many things. Maybe he knows what to do!" Yunxuan said while looking at the cheat sheet.

"My daughter-in-law has a quick mind!" Xuan Yue said with a smile and went to the cattle farm behind to find Mr. Zhang to ask him for advice.

Mr. Zhang had actually burned charcoal before, but at that time everything he burned was burnt to ashes.

"Second Grandpa, let's not talk about anything else. First, tell me where to dig this charcoal cellar!" Xuan Yue asked.

The second grandfather looked around and pointed to a small slope at the foot of the mountain. "Just dig that small slope and dig it into a cave dwelling. I will teach you slowly in a moment."

After Xuan Yue got the advice, she immediately went home and took Xuan Feng and his brothers with her, picked up the tools and started working.

When the villagers heard that charcoal was being burned on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, they all came over to watch out of curiosity. None of the villagers had ever burned charcoal. They not only wanted to watch the fun, but also wanted to see if they could burn the charcoal. If they could burn the charcoal, they might be able to learn some skills by watching this. Next year they might be able to burn charcoal according to their method and sell it for money.

Xuan Yue took Xuan Feng and the others to dig with shovels, and they dug out an exquisite round cave dwelling in just a short time. Mr. Zhang looked at the drawings and taught them how to poke a chimney out of the cave dwelling and how to build a chimney on the side of the cave dwelling. Dig out a fire tunnel.

But Grandpa Zhang and Xuan Yue had disagreements about how to connect the fire tunnel to the charcoal kiln. Grandpa Zhang said the drawing was wrong and he could just dig through the bottom! Xuan Yue looked at the drawing but it didn't seem like this. It should be on top. They had different opinions, so they had to invite Yuan Chuyi to come and let her make a decision.

On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he entered the cave, pointed to two-thirds of the cave wall, and said: "Open the opening connected to the fire path here! It is said here that the fire burns from the top down, and the charcoal will be the best. !”

Grandpa Zhang Er heard what Yuan Chuyi said. Now that he thought about the failure of his previous charcoal burning, he had nothing to say. He just listened to Yuan Chuyi.

Xuanyue immediately excavated at the designated location on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty to connect the fire tunnel and the charcoal kiln.

After a whole day of work, the charcoal cellar was dug.

"Next is chopping firewood!" Xuan Yue read while looking at the cheat sheet.

Yuan Chuyi pointed to a pile of large logs and said, "Let's burn them!"

Xuan Yue looked distressed. These wood were bought specifically to keep for the winter. If they burned out, they would have to go to the mountain to cut them down, or else they would have to buy them again.

"Chop it, chop it!" Yuan Chuyi didn't feel bad, "I can't let go of the child, so I can't trap the wolf! I can't let go of this little firewood, where can I get the charcoal!"

Xuanfeng and Xuanbing immediately took the axe, pressed it against the height of the cave, whizzed a few times, and chopped all the wood in less than two quarters of an hour.

"Put the wood neatly into the cave!" Master Zhang commanded.

Xuan Yue obeyed and did as she was told. She put the charcoal into the cave and stacked it, then sealed the entrance of the kiln and lit the fire!

"Look at the fire!" Yuan Chuyi explained. If the charcoal fire is not successful, the most critical thing besides the charcoal kiln is to fire up the kiln and seal the kiln. "When the wood in the kiln burns, there is no need to burn the fire inlet. When the smoke turns blue, the kiln can be sealed. Don’t let it burn!”

On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, they were busy burning charcoal. After two days of secret investigation, Xiao Jing finally found out the traitor, who turned out to be a deputy general beside the general.

It was he who revealed Xiao Jing's whereabouts to Beidi's spies.
