Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

All night.

When Lou Yu woke up, he was the only one left in the room.

After washing leisurely, he tidied up his clothes and came outside the house.

"Master, you're awake, I'm going to get you something to eat!"

Feng Erbi said, turned around and left.

Thinking of yesterday's dirty bowls, Lou Yu felt sick to his stomach, and quickly ordered: "Just take two pieces of cake and deal with it."

It is clean to be able to comfort yourself without seeing how the cake is made.

Feng Erbi glanced at him distressedly, and ran away as if flying away.

However, Zheng Yi was very enthusiastic, and when he learned that Lou Yu only wanted two cakes, he immediately waved his hand.

"How can you neglect Mr. Yu so much! Hurry up and send two bowls of meat porridge!"

So, while Lou Yu was gnawing dry biscuits in the water, San Jin Po came over with two bowls of hot porridge.

He was speaking to Lou Yu, but his eyes were still glued to the two bowls of meat porridge.

"Mr. Yu, this is the meat porridge that King Yi ordered for you!"

Minoru held a bowl in one hand, resting his thumb on the rim of the bowl, with dirt under his fingernails.

The porridge was full, and my dirty nails poked straight into the porridge.

Seeing this, Lou Yu's stomach churned even more.

What's more, the meat porridge smelled fishy, ​​looked greasy, and was really not clean.

Lou Yu didn't speak.

Feng Erbi immediately said: "Little brother, my young master is weak and cannot eat too much meat, why don't you take it back and eat it yourself?"

Xiao Luo swallowed his saliva, to be honest, he really wanted to eat.

Yang Ji'an also persuaded: "Yes, big brother, if you don't eat it, it will be cold. You can finish eating here. When you go back to work, you will say that Mr. Yu ate it. King Yi will not blame you."

The little boy thought about it too, anyway, Mr. Yu didn't want it, so he ate it to save wastage.

So he gulped down two bowls of meat porridge, burped contentedly, licked his lips unsatisfied, and went back to work with the empty bowl.

A while later, another minion came to invite Lou Yu and the three to go to Mingtang to have a talk.

When they arrived at the Ming Hall, Zheng Yi stood up to greet him for the first time, with a look of enthusiasm.

Maybe it was because of the drinking that made the relationship yesterday, or because he didn't dare to neglect the "golden baby" Lou Yu.

After being seated, the person on the lower left asked: "Mr. Yu, I wonder if you had a good rest last night?"

Most people will politely say that it is very good.

Lou Yu said seriously, "It's very bad."

Seeing that the complexions of the three of them turned black, he said calmly: "I am the son of a wealthy merchant in Jiangzhou. I live in a high-walled compound, wear silk and satin, eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and sleep on silk quilts and jade pillows. Did I sleep well last night?"

Jiang Yong almost laughed, His Highness is deliberately drawing out their greed, right?

Zheng Yi and the others: "..."

They also want to live such a happy life in heaven and earth!

Zheng Yi stopped playing tricks, and cut straight to the point: "Mr. Yu, what did you mean by the golden nest yesterday?"

Lou Yu asked, "King Yi knows how much one or two high-grade sulfur can sell in Jiangzhou?"

"How many?"

Lou Yu stretched out a finger.

Bottom right: "Ten texts?"

Shaking his head.

"One hundred coins?"

Keep shaking your head.

"One... one thousand Wen?" The voice trembled.

Lou Yu smiled and said nothing.

Zheng Yi slapped his thigh violently.

"Sulphur, is it that pyrite? I didn't expect that it looks like gold, and it can be exchanged for gold!"

He changed his mind, "That's not right, Mr. Yu, if pyrite can really be exchanged for so much money, why is there no movement in Yizhou government office?"

Lou Yu smiled inscrutablely: "King Yi doesn't know something. Taoist priests don't need any sulfur to make alchemy. The better the quality, the better the price."

"What is good appearance?"

"This is complicated," Lou Yu sighed regretfully, "If you want to have a good quality, you have to find a suitable craftsman to refine it. If Yizhou can't find skilled craftsmen and can't get top-grade sulfur, those Taoist temples will naturally look down on them. "

Lou Yu is very handy in fooling these illiterates.

Anyway, they don't understand these things.

He spoke clearly and logically, Zheng Yi and the three were stunned when they heard it, and they were all attracted by his big cake.

There are a lot of "fool's gold" in Yizhou, and they know it.But they don't know that those "fool's gold" can really be exchanged for gold!

If they mastered the "gold mine", wouldn't they be able to live a prosperous life as Mr. Yu said?

What Mr. Yu said is right, they indeed occupied a golden nest for nothing!

Seeing the three people's eyes glowing green with excitement, Lou Yu had no choice but to remind him: "Let me say something more, King Yi, don't be too happy. There are no artisans who know how to refine in the government office. Is it possible that there is Sanjinpo?"

The three were dumbfounded.

Yes, if there is no good sulfur, where can they sell it for money?

From extravagant hope to despair, the lower left head said in a very aggressive tone: "In this case, why do you say that we have occupied a golden nest?"

Lou Yu chuckled: "Don't worry. Refining is just the icing on the cake. If your pyrite has high sulfur content, you can sell it at a good price."

Seeing the three people stunned, he gave an example: "For the same pancake, one piece contains more meat and one piece contains less meat, which one do you choose?"

Do you even need to ask?Of course choose more!

"If our ore is of high quality, even if we don't know how to refine it, we can still sell it at a good price."

Lou Yu's tone was low and unhurried: "When I left Jiangzhou, I heard that Taoist Master Hu of Jiangzhou had gone to Ziyun Temple in the capital to discuss scriptures and Taoism with the master of Ziyun Temple. The two Taoists are both profound and proficient in Taoism. The technique of alchemy is very good at distinguishing the quality of ore."

He paused, and asked the three of them, "Have you heard of Purple Cloud Temple?"

The three remained silent.

Lou Yu smiled, "It's okay if you haven't heard of it. Ziyun Temple is the first Taoist temple in Dasheng. There are countless people who go to understand Taoism, and the incense is very popular all day long."

"More importantly, the Ziyun Temple is constantly burning day and night. If our ore can be watched by Ziyun, can it be sold to Taoist temples all over the world?"

"Why?" The lower left head was a little confused.

Zheng Yi scolded him: "Idiot! You don't even need to ask? Purple Cloud Temple is the largest temple in the world. They all use our ore. Can other Taoist temples follow suit?"

The three of them felt overwhelmed when they thought that they would use ore to sell a steady stream of silver in the future.

"Guanzhu Ziyun and Daoist Hu are both masters of alchemy. If our ore can be favored by them, do we still have no money?"

Lou Yu sighed softly: "That's why I said that King Yi lives in the golden nest without knowing it."

Zheng Yi was really moved, he even wanted to dig a few ores and send them to the capital for Ziyun Guan to have a look!

He got up and said boldly: "Mr. Yu, if this thing can really be done, you will be our Sanjinpo's great hero!"

Lou Yu's eyes were clear, and he asked, "What is King Yi planning to do?"

Zheng Yidao: "I know where to dig the ore. When the ore is dug out, I will send someone to the Ziyun Temple in the capital to ask the Taoist priest."

Jiang Yong laughed out loud, there was no way, it was so funny.

Seeing the three people looking over in doubt, he explained with a smile: "King Yi, do you know where Ziyun Temple is in the capital? The royal relatives, dignitaries and dignitaries are all regular visitors there. If there is no token of Ziyun Temple, if you want to It is harder to enter the contemplation than to ascend to the sky."

Zheng Yi: "..."

And he is just a bandit who lives in a thatched hut and eats dry biscuits.

"Because there are too many nobles, Ziyun Temple is often guarded by heavy soldiers. If you rush in rashly, you may not even know how to die."

A ladle of cold water was poured over his head.

Why is it so hard to get rich?

Zheng Yi took a deep breath, and asked with heavy eyes: "Since Mr. Yu proposed this method of getting rich, is there a way to use the Purple Cloud Temple as well?"

Lou Yu arched his hands: "I don't have old knowledge. I am asking about cultivation in Ziyun Temple. If I can get in touch with him, I may be able to open the door to wealth."

"In this case, let's go to the capital!" Zheng Yi made a final decision.

They gathered a crowd in Sanjinpo to make trouble and intimidate the government, but in the end they didn't want to live a good life!

If they hold the mine tightly in their own hands, they will have more and more money, their power will grow stronger, they will overthrow the government, and by then, the whole of Yizhou will be under their control.

The name of King Yi will eventually resound throughout the world!

"It's a pity, the pyrite mine doesn't belong to Sanjinpo yet." Lou Yu said flatly.

Zheng Yi said in a rough voice: "The government doesn't care about that place, I will take it as soon as I take it."

Lou Yu didn't pour cold water on him, and said with a smile: "Regardless of the quality of the ore, King Yi might as well take someone to dig a few trucks and transport them to the capital. Even if the Ziyun Temple master doesn't like it, there are other poor Taoist temples who can see it." If you can get it, you can sell it for a price, otherwise, if you only take a few to the capital, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?”

Zheng Yi now obeys him, "Just listen to Mr. Yu!"

The concentrated distribution area of ​​pyrite is located in Jinqueling, seven miles away from Sanjinpo.

It is named for its golden color and bird-like shape.

This place is remote and sparsely populated. From Zheng Yi's point of view, it is a land without owner. Once they occupy Sanjinpo, Jinque Ridge will become a part of Sanjinpo.

He couldn't wait to go mining to make money, so he gathered a group of minions outside the hall, counted more than a thousand people, and was about to go to Jinqueling in a mighty manner.

Lou Yu said, "King Yi is going to go like this?"

"Otherwise?" Zheng Yi was puzzled.

Lou Yu started fooling around again: "Do you know how to dig? What should I do if the quality is broken and the price cannot be sold?"

"Mr. Yu?"

Lou Yu glanced at him, "Not long ago, I have an old knowledge of Ziyun Temple practice, so I naturally know a thing or two."

"Extremely extreme!" Zheng Yi hurriedly said, "Then please wait with me, sir!"

Lou Yu said: "My two hundred brothers have to follow, they are all good at mining."

200 people versus more than [-] people, Zheng Yi didn't pay attention at all, so he agreed.

A group of people came to Jinqueling in a hurry.

Lou Yu put on a show and directed the soldiers to mine.

The ore is hard, and it is difficult to improve the efficiency with ordinary tools. It took a long time to dig a little bit, which is probably not enough for the Taoist priests to use in one furnace.

Zheng Yi was in a hurry, and transferred another 1000 people from Sanjinpo to dig.

In this way, Sanjinpo's defense is much weaker.

Yang Ji'an and Sun Jingwen were children, they didn't come to mine with them, so they stayed on Sanjinpo.

Sanjinpo's minions saw that the two were young and looked innocent, so they didn't pay much attention.

Sun Jingwen herself has a strong spatial thinking, and with the help of the telescope left by Lou Yu, she quickly memorized the terrain of Sanjinpo and the various guard posts.

Yang Ji'an was in charge of joking around with the minions to draw their attention.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

His Highness said that although they are currently in a cooperative relationship with Sanjinpo, Bao Buqi will turn his back on him in the future, so he stepped on the spot in advance to prevent problems before they happen.

Zheng Yi led people to dig the mine for a day, loaded a dozen carts of ore, and returned to the slope contentedly.

He ordered people to prepare good wine and good food, and asked Lou Yu earnestly, "When does Mr. Yu think it's better to go to Beijing?"

Lou Yu said with a smile: "I haven't seen that old friend for three years, and I'm really thinking, why not leave tomorrow morning?"

“Excellent excellent!”

Lou Yu said again: "How many people will King Yi plan to bring with him when transporting ore to Beijing?"

Zheng Yi held the bowl, "What does Mr. Yu think?"

"The world is in chaos right now. If we go all the way to the capital, we may encounter many bandits looting. We can't be lucky. We must bring enough troops to protect the safety of the ore."

Zheng Yi nodded and waited for the next sentence.

"Our two hundred brothers are all experts in darts. We know some dangers in the world and have rich experience. We must go together."

Zheng Yi was noncommittal.

Lou Yu went on to say: "King Yi is brave and fearless, and it is rare to meet an opponent. The Sanjinpo brothers are all very courageous. If King Yi can personally lead two hundred strong men, they will definitely be able to protect the safety of the ore."

Delighted to be praised, Zheng Yi's complexion turned pale, he laughed and said, "I haven't been to the capital yet, this time I must see the excitement of the capital!"

Of course he would go, if this Mr. Yu lied to him, he would wring his head off and kick it as a ball himself!

Jiang Yongjue fell, so he called himself "the king"?It's too narcissistic!

His Highness didn't even put on airs.

"One more thing, I hope King Yi can listen to it." Lou Yu said.

"Mr. Yu, please speak."

Lou Yu said leisurely: "The price of the raw stone and the developed sulfur powder are different, but the selling price is not so high."

Zheng Yi naturally understood this truth, "As long as the price can be sold, it's easy to talk about!"

As for whether he will turn his face because of the selling price, he can't guarantee it.

They don't need to grow the ore themselves, they can just dig it out and sell it for money. Is there an easier and faster way to get rich than this?

Anyway, Zheng Yi and others couldn't figure it out.

Early the next morning, the golden wheel shone brightly.

Zheng Yi led 200 people, and the [-] soldiers from the same house transported stones to the road.

When he left Gyeongju, Lou Yu had only 200 people, but now he has [-] "guards" for nothing, and the journey is safer.

Zheng Yi and the others were very bandit-like, plus they were numerous and powerful, no one dared to provoke them as they traveled all the way from Yizhou.

As for the large rebel army, they have not yet appeared in this area.

On the evening of August [-]th, the convoy arrived at the boundary of Tongzhou, and everyone slept in the wild overnight.

Early the next morning, as soon as Lou Yu got up, he saw Feng Erbi coming over beaming with a bowl in his hand.

"Young master, today is your birthday. This is the longevity noodles that Nuqian went to a nearby farm early to make for you. Please try it."

Lou Yu was stunned for a moment, he had completely forgotten about his birthday.

The noodles are soft and smooth, with an egg lying on top, and the appearance is not bad.

Lou Yu praised sincerely: "I have a heart."

Feng Erbi was so happy that his eyes disappeared. He had no big ambitions, he just wanted to be with His Highness all the time and take care of His Highness for the rest of his life.

A bowl of noodles is enough to fill his stomach, Lou Yu wiped his mouth after eating, and was about to announce his departure when Yang Ji'an and Sun Jingwen ran over together.

Well, happy birthday to him again.

Yang Ji'an spoke sweetly, and said a basketful of congratulatory speeches. Sun Jingwen quietly waited for him to finish, and then took out a kit and gave it to Lou Yu.

"Master, this is a birthday present from brother Ji'an and me together."

Lou Yu thanked with a smile, took it and opened it, and there was a little rabbit inside!

The little rabbit has snow-white hair, red eyes, and a cute naive look.

"I heard that your zodiac sign is a rabbit, so I made this." Sun Jingwen lowered her head in shame.

She couldn't afford to send better ones.

Lou Yu pointed to the rabbit's red eyes and asked, "Does this cost a lot of money?"

Yang Ji'an scratched his head and smiled.

Anyway, he and sister Jingwen spent almost the same amount of money.

Lou Yu carefully put the rabbit back into the bag and stuffed it into his arms: "It's very beautiful, I like it very much, thank you."

The two left satisfied.

Lou Yu waited for a while, but didn't wait for the next one, so he got up and announced the move forward.

When walking, the ore was escorted and protected by Zheng Yi, and Lou Yu and others followed leisurely behind.

It's not that they didn't work hard, but that Zheng Yi and the others kept a close eye on the ore, probably to prevent them from sneaking away the ore.

At noon, the convoy arrived at a small town, and everyone sat on the ground to rest.

Feng Erbi leaned into Lou Yu's ear and asked in a low voice, "Master, is it possible that we really want to go to the capital?"

He didn't want to leave, but he felt sorry for His Highness's suffering.

Lou Yu raised his head, but saw the sky was high and wide, and the blue sky was as clear as washing.

He smiled lightly: "Not going."

There is still a lot of things waiting for him in the capital.

Feng Erbi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Lou Yu nodded, and said to Huo Yan beside him, "Follow me to find Zheng Yi."

The two teams are doing their own thing, and they are very different from each other.

Zheng Yi had been paying attention to them all the time, and when he saw the two getting up and coming this way, he couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Yi Wang," Lou Yu said with a distressed face, "I have been sick since I was a child, and I have been walking with everyone for a few days, and I really can't bear it."

Zheng Yi saw that his figure was thin, his face was pale, and he seemed to be in poor health, so he couldn't help feeling worried.

He also counted on Mr. Yu to take advantage of Ziyun Temple.

"How about that?"

Lou Yu leaned against Huo Yan weakly, exhaled more breath than breathed in and said: "If I continue to run around, I'm worried that I won't be able to hold on before I reach the capital. My health is small, so it's not okay to delay important things."

"How about we rest for a day or two?" Zheng Yi asked.

Lou Yu shook his head, "Impossible. The master of Ziyun Temple will retreat for several months every time he finishes his lectures. If he is delayed on the road for a day or two and happens to meet him in retreat, wouldn't he have to wait for several months?"

Zheng Yi is really in a hurry now, he doesn't care if he closes the door or not, as long as he can set a high price for his ore before that!

"Otherwise, find you a bullock cart?" He could only think of this idea.

I dare not think about a carriage, after all, horses are rare and cannot be rented.

"King Yi," Lou Yu sighed with a wry smile, "If we enter the boundary of the capital, everyone will ride in a horse-drawn carriage, but we will take an ox cart, do you think Ziyun Temple will let me in?"

Zheng Yi: "..."

Although he is a butcher who is not afraid of blood, he is still in awe of imperial power in his bones.

At the Son of Heaven's feet, he can't conflict with the guards of Purple Cloud Temple, can he?

He said helplessly: "Tongzhou is so far away from the capital, who is willing to take us?"

Lou Yu had a cheeky face: "As long as the money is in place. Yi Wang, this time I came to Beijing to make money, why do you care about these small money?"

Zheng Yi had a painful expression on his face: "Why don't you, Mr. Yu, go and see if you can find the carriage first."

"it is good."

Lou Yu went back decisively and ordered Feng Erbi to go to the town to find two carriages.

Feng Erbi happily ran away.

As soon as he turned the corner, a hand suddenly stretched out, and he was about to scream when someone covered his mouth.

"it's me."

Feng Erbi's eyes widened, and he finally came back to his senses.

"Sanmo, why are you here? Didn't His Highness ask you to closely monitor the government office?"

Feng Sanmo didn't have time to explain to him, and said: "I have prepared the carriage according to His Highness's instructions, you can just take it back."

He paused for a moment, then turned his face away: "I have put the birthday gift for His Highness in the car, don't forget to give it to Your Highness for me."

Feng Erbi looked at his red ears and couldn't help laughing secretly.

His little brother is really shy.

"Understood, I will never forget."

A moment later, Feng Erbi came back with two carriages, and Zheng Yi and the others were stunned.

Zheng Yi ran over in a hurry, "Didn't you call only one? Why did you call two?!"

His money did not come from the wind!

Lou Yu looked innocent: "You can't be short-sighted if you are poor. We need ostentation. There are many people in the capital who look down on people. King Yi is willing to be looked down upon?"

"..."

One of the drivers said at the right time: "Sheng Hui is 20 taels, please pay a deposit of [-] taels first."

Zheng Yi and others: Robbing money? !

"Yi Wang, when you arrive in the capital, Yu enters the Ziyun temple, why do you still care about 20 taels?"

Zheng Yi held back his anger, and reluctantly took out five taels of silver and handed it to the coachman.

Lou Yu finally understood why Zheng Yi failed because he was too picky.

"There are two carriages, one for you, who will take the other?" Zheng Yi asked.

Lou Yu was not too dark after all, so he kindly suggested: "Why don't King Yi also enjoy it?"

Zheng Yi thought about it too, the money was spent, why not enjoy it once?

So got into the second carriage.

After Lou Yu brought Feng Erbi into the carriage, Feng Erbi immediately took out a wooden box from the hidden drawer.

The wooden box is square and square, and there are no patterns on it, so it looks old-fashioned.

"Master, this is a birthday present from Sanmo to you."

Lou Yu was surprised, he didn't expect Sanmo to give gifts, it's rare.

He opened it and saw that it was a high-quality square inkstone, and it was indeed a gift from Sanmohui, quite satisfactory.

He accepted it with a smile, "San Mo has a heart."

Feng Erbi took the opportunity to ask: "Master, didn't you ask Sanmo to monitor those people? Why is Sanmo here?"

Lou Yu explained: "San Mo has been following us secretly."

"Then Qingzhou..."

Lou Yu smiled and said: "It's only been a few days, the government office will not have any accidents, if any accidents happen, I have to wait until I arrive in the capital."

"Sanmo will go to the capital too?"

Lou Yu nodded: "When we actually enter Beijing, he will return to Gyeongju."

Along the way, he pretended to be a refugee, went to Sanjinpo, and transported ore. If Feng Sanmo hadn't prepared secretly, what would he do to celebrate his birthday when he arrives in the capital?

Feng Er's pen is clear, and San Mo's hard work!

Outside the carriage, Huo Yan couldn't help touching something hidden in his arms.

He has good hearing, knowing that even Feng Sanmo was given a birthday gift, he couldn't help being a little upset.

Seeing that today is coming to an end, Ah Xuan and Ah Qiong's gifts have not been delivered yet.

Of course, there are gifts prepared by himself.

How should he open his mouth?

The stars hang flat and the moon is like a hook.

Huo Yan stood by the carriage, took out two small objects from his arms, and stared at the curtain hesitantly.

Lou Yu was in the car, and candles were lit in the car, and the light from the candles passed through the cracks, competing faintly with the stars in the night.

Or, he just put the birthday gift in the car?

Huo Yan felt a little headache.

In the capital city before, it's not that he never gave gifts to his peers, but at that time, he had a servant to help him run errands and talk about the scene, so he didn't need to show up in person.

Facing Lou Yu now, he really didn't know what to say.

Say it, I find it difficult to speak; don't say it, I feel rude again.

Yang Ji'an got up to relieve himself, saw Huo Yan walking back and forth beside the carriage with a dazed look, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

Seeing the things in Huo Yan's hands, he felt blessed: "Are you going to give the young master a gift?"

Huo Yan was expressionless: "...help Ah Xuan and Ah Qiong to deliver."

Yang Ji'an covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.

He used to think that Huo Yan was awkward, but now it seems that he is really awkward, he is so hesitant to give a gift.

He said: "Shouldn't you just give me a gift? Just give it to the young master? Is it harder than killing someone?"

"..."

Yang Ji'an shook his head and sighed, "Take it easy, His Highness's birthday will be over when it's time, if Brother Axuan and Sister Aqiong know that you didn't send it in time, they will definitely blame you."

After saying that, he left chicly to relieve himself.

Huo Yan lowered his head, thinking of the earnest entrustment of his two children before leaving, so he made up his mind, went to Lou Yu's side window, and tapped lightly.

The small curtain was raised, Lou Yu's face was exposed, the candlelight was stirred by the wind, Lou Yu quickly reached out to protect him, and said to Huo Yan: "Get in the car."

Huo Yan had no choice but to get into the car.

The interior space of the carriage is not very large, and it is quite spacious for Rong Louyu alone, but it's a pity that Huo Yan is tall and has long legs, as soon as he enters, the whole space becomes cramped.

"What's the matter?" Lou Yu asked.

Huo Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly put the things in his hands on the small table, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "This is a birthday gift from Axuan and Aqiong."

Lou Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect so many people to remember his birthday, even the two children prepared gifts.

He looked at the two gifts on the table and asked, "Who gave them?"

Huo Yan said: "The bamboo fan was made by Ah Qiong himself, and the wooden rabbit was made by Ah Xuan."

The bamboo fan is light and elegant, and the handle of the fan is warm to the touch without any burrs, it can be seen that it has been polished extremely smoothly.The fan pendant is woven with plain silk thread, which is very interesting.

Lou Yu took a look, and couldn't help but praise: "Good fan, good painting. I didn't expect Arjun to be so good at painting at such a young age."

Huo Yan couldn't help rubbing the tip of his nose with his hand, his eyes dodged a little, and he didn't say a word.

"I'm in need of a fan." Lou Yu smiled brightly, "Ah Qiong sent it just right, I like it very much."

He picked up the wooden rabbit again.

The wooden rabbit looks a little silly, but it is ugly and cute, which is very interesting.

Lou Yu played with it in the palm of his hand, and when he accidentally touched it, the rabbit suddenly stretched its limbs, its torso elongated, and took a few steps by itself.

He looked at Huo Yan in surprise: "Is this... mechanism technique?"

Huo Yan nodded, "He likes to play with these."

Lou Yu: Awesome!

He sincerely praised: "Ah Xuan has such a unique skill, it is really extraordinary."

Lou Yu put the mechanism rabbit on the small table, pressed its tail, and the mechanism rabbit walked forward on the small table, and stopped when it reached the edge.

With a smile on his lips, he was very relieved.

Huo Xuan has such talent and skills, maybe he can help him improve mechanical appliances.

But these have to wait until he returns from the capital.

Huo Yan looked up at Lou Yu.

Shrouded in orange candlelight, the young man has gentle eyes and a lazy attitude. His black hair is loosely tied behind his head, and a few strands fall in front of his ears, fall down his side cheeks, and hang down to his knees.

Such a seemingly weak and friendly person has a great ambition to drive away wolves and tigers.

"See what I'm doing?" Lou Yu raised his long eyelashes slightly, his eyes were clear, "Is it possible that you have a gift for me too?"

Huo Yan: "...um."

"What is it?" Lou Yu's eyes showed surprise, "Take it out and have a look."

What he just said was just teasing, he didn't really think that Huo Yan would give him a gift, but Huo Yan actually prepared it.

The joy of accident!

Huo Yan took out a kit from his bosom, frowned and put it on the table.

"It's not worth anything to carve casually in your spare time."

Sure enough, he was still a teenager with a thin skin.

Lou Yu laughed secretly, stretched out his hand to untie the kit, and immediately opened his eyes wide.

He took out what was in his bag and held it in the palm of his hand.

It was a jade seal, the color was white and translucent, the texture was as delicate as fat, and under the faint candlelight, the jade light shone brightly, it was too beautiful to behold.

Printed and engraved with eight characters.

"Happiness is only a gentleman, and good fortune is achieved." [Note 1]

This is an auspicious language seal, expressing good wishes.

There are also several koi carved on the walls of the printed body, each of which is different in shape, lively and lovely, quite interesting.

The texture of this seal is good, the carving method is excellent, and the handwriting on the bottom of the print has the style of everyone, which is really extraordinary.

Lou Yu was overjoyed, and asked with a smile, "You carved it yourself?"

Huo Yan nodded.

"You are a good carver, have you learned it?"

Keep nodding.

Lou Yu turned around and said, "But I think this jade is very valuable, where did you get the money to buy it?"

Huo Yan turned his face slightly, and coughed lightly, "I copied a few calligraphy and paintings, and exchanged some money."

Lou Yu: "..."

Dare to love Huo Yan and be good at painting? !

and many more!

He opened the fan that Huo Qiong gave him. Apart from the elegant ink painting on the fan, there was also a line of petite characters. Upon closer inspection, the handwriting was exactly the same as the eight characters under the seal!

"The fan is also drawn and written by you?" Lou Yu was shocked.

Huo Yan didn't say a word, it was his default.

Only then did Lou Yu understand.

He sincerely admired that the hero is worthy of being a hero, not only proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts, but also good at calligraphy Danqing, he is both civil and military!

"You are amazing." He couldn't help but praise.

Huo Yan got up suddenly and said, "You rest, I'm going out."

"and many more!"

Huo Yan stopped and turned his back to Lou Yu.

Lou Yu smiled sincerely: "Thank you—"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a high-pitched and loud cry for help resounded through the wilderness.

"Help ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

Huo Yanli got out of the carriage and summoned the government soldiers to surround the carriage in case of accidents.

Zheng Yi's side was also awakened, and everyone felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The cries for help continued and got closer.

Huo Yan asked people to light a torch, and Zheng Yi followed suit, and for a while, the wilderness was full of flames.

Perhaps the fleeing man saw the flames and shouted even more desperately until his voice broke.

Huo Yan's eyesight is very strong, and by the light of the fire, he saw a person running hard not far away, several people behind him chasing him, and another person resisting desperately, and was about to be killed at the sight of exhaustion.

The fleeing man roared loudly: "You will be rewarded with a lot of money for saving your life!"

Naturally, this was said to Lou Yu and his party.

Lou Yu hadn't thought of leaving him alone, and was about to give orders when Zheng Yi couldn't wait to step forward.

Hearing the word "heavy money", everyone wants to give it a go.What's more, there are only a few people chasing and killing that person, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Zheng Yi led his people to rush up, but before they reached the fleeing man, the few people who were chasing him turned around and ran away, probably because there were so many people here, and they didn't want to confront him head-on.

Seeing that there was no fear of his life, the fleeing man collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

"Many, thank you for saving your life, I, I will definitely repay you."

Zheng Yi looked at this man by the light of the fire.

The face is still young, probably sixteen or seventeen years old, described as slightly fat, with white and tender skin, wearing silk and satin, it looks like a son of a wealthy family.

As for the other man who fell to the ground from exhaustion, he looked upright, dressed in a military uniform, and held a long knife in his hand. He looked like a guard of a wealthy family.

This is a fat sheep.

A calculation flashed in Zheng Yi's mind, and a smile appeared on his face, making the scar even more ferocious.

"How could the young master be hunted down?"

The young man finally took a breath, wanted to cry but said without tears: "I don't know, we were walking well, and suddenly a large group of people rushed up to grab something, or Ada protected me and ran out. I didn't expect those people to chase after me. I!"

He struggled to crawl to Ada's side, "Ada, are you okay?"

There were some scratches on Ah Da's body, and the wounds were not fatal, but after all, some blood flowed out, his body was exhausted, and his mind became dizzy, but he still comforted him:

"Young master, my subordinate is fine, are you injured?"

The boy's eyes were red: "You are bleeding, I don't know what happened to the others."

He turned to look at Zheng Yi and the others. Seeing that they were all tall and burly, he couldn't help feeling hopeful, and asked naively: "All strong men, can I ask you for a favor? I will definitely reward you with a lot of money!"

Lou Yu heard it clearly not far away, and thought: Which family's idiot is this?Always talk about "heavy money", for fear that others will not know that he is rich?

Zheng Yi pretended to be kind and said: "Young master, if you need anything from our brother, just ask!"

"Strong man, I still have some attendants under siege, can you help..."

"My lord!" Ah Da immediately interrupted him, coughing violently.

When Zheng Yi heard it, the convoy that could be robbed must have good goods!

Did not expect this windfall.

He suppressed his excitement, "Yibo Yuntian" said: "If you encounter injustice, you should draw your sword to help! Don't worry, young master, we will definitely seek justice for you!"

The boy said gratefully, "Thank you!"

Zheng Yi asked: "How many people are there? Where are they now?"

The young man hesitated to explain clearly, he abandoned the car and fled in a panic, he didn't know how many people there were in the other party, and in addition to the panic, he also forgot where those people were now.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Ah Da has no choice but to say: "There are about a hundred people on the other side, we left a lot of footprints when we came, you strong men can follow the traces back, maybe you can catch those robbers just now."

Just out of the tiger's mouth, and then strayed into the wolves, this experience is really rough.

Ah Da is not as naive as the young master, he sees that Zheng Yi and others have gangster spirit, so he knows that these people are not good men.

Forget it, let's take a step at a time.

Zheng Yi nodded: "You are right."

Then he turned around and walked towards Lou Yu.

"Mr. Yu, we are going to help this poor young man, do you want to go with us?"

Lou Yu lazily said: "I'm tired, you go."

"Mr. Yu, I will bring 100 people there and return."

After all, Zheng Yi was worried about Lou Yu and others, so he left 100 people to guard the mine cart.

After they left, the young master and Ah Da were surrounded by Zheng Yi's men.

Only then did the young master realize that these people didn't really want to help them!

He couldn't help looking at Ah Da.

Ah Da pulled the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

It seems that there are two forces in this group of people who are not united with each other. Just now, when the young master mentioned "heavy money", only one party made a move, but the other party remained indifferent. It can be seen that the two parties are not in harmony, but they are restraining each other.

He lay on the ground quietly recovering his strength, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Yi finally brought people back, and said with regret on his face, "It's too late, everyone has dispersed, and everything is gone."

The young man hurriedly asked, "Can you see my guards?"

Zheng Yidao: "There are many corpses on the ground, and the clothes they wear are similar to his."

He pointed at Ah Da.

The boy burst into tears instantly, crying miserably: "They, they all..."

Ah Da was also very sad, those guards who died were all his good brothers, but unexpectedly they were killed by a group of rogues!

Sorrow spreads across the wilderness.

Zheng Yi sat across from the boy, pretending to be kind and said: "I'm Zheng Yi, I'm a dart walker, and I'm escorting the goods to the capital with my brothers, how about you?"

The boy sobbed and said, "I, my surname is Wei, and he is my bodyguard Ah Da."

Zheng Yi was persuasive: "Where did you come from? Where are you going?"

"We came from Cangzhou and are going to the capital."

Zheng Yidao: "Just now we saved your lives, you said that we would reward you with a lot of money, but now that your motorcade is gone, how can we thank you?"

Wei Xiaojun's teardrops were hanging on his eyelashes, he said in a daze, "I have relatives in the capital, I can ask them to borrow money to repay you."

He's not really stupid either.

If there is no money, it is estimated that this group of people will leave them alone, or even kill them.

He said that there are relatives in the capital, and this group of people may look at the rewards
