Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 161 The Great Gift From God
Wuwei County.

罾山.

Luo Youdu, Zhang Qiong, Hong Bo and more than a dozen guards climbed up the mountain under the leadership of a herb picker named Chang Chen.

Along the way, Hong Bo's face was ashen, looking at Chang Chen, he felt a surge of evil fire, wishing he could kick that ass.

Chang Chen fearfully walked ahead with the shackles on.

Luo Youdu secretly laughed at the side, this Shengdou Xiaomin's cunning has been seen today.

It turned out that the place where Chang Chen discovered oil was not Sangong Mountain at all, but Yanshan Mountain.

Chang Chen lives in poverty by gathering herbs, and accidentally discovers the oil called Shiqi in this era.

He knew that oil was expensive, so he thought about making a fortune in a low voice, and secretly carried the oil cans home one by one, intending to find an opportunity to resell and make a fortune.

It's just that the war in Huainan caused chaos in all directions, and Chang Chen could only hold back and wait for the opportunity.

I don't want the heat in midsummer and improper storage to cause a raging fire.

Chang Chen wanted to abscond in fear of crime, but was caught by the yamen servants.

When Hong Bo interrogated him, he found that no one was dead, so Chang Chen didn't want to cut off his fortune, and lied that the oil was found in Sangong Mountain.

Hong Bo really didn't expect that Chang Chen would dare to lie at this time, he was a county magistrate and let Xiaomin fool him.

Until Luo Youdu came in person, Chang Chen was asked to lead the way.

Seeing Luo Youdu and a group of ferocious soldiers, Chang Chen was really scared and told the truth.

Only then did Hong Bo realize that Chang Chen had been playing tricks.

The mountain is not high, but it is deep.

They climbed two hills, and the more they walked, the more remote they became, but they still didn't reach their destination.

However, some strange monuments appeared along the way, and some stone piers hidden in the thorn bushes actually had oracle bone inscriptions written on them.

Luo Youdu pushed aside the thorn bushes with his saber, looked at the almost weathered boulder hidden inside, and looked at the densely packed oracle bone inscriptions on it, and suddenly thought with some regret: If only I had a mobile phone, I can take a picture of this thing.

Hong Bo looked left and right, and suddenly put his hands together, and said pleasantly: "It is recorded in the county annals of Wuwei County that there are relics of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in the mountain, and there is a well in the mountain. The spring water is originally white, and it turns into ink. Could it be stone paint?"

As the magistrate of Wuwei County, he naturally read the county annals of Wuwei County.

He said to Chang Chen, "Did you get your stone lacquer from an ancient well?"

Chang Chen didn't dare to hide it now, and nodded with a bitter face, "It was obtained from the ancient well."

Hong Bo said: "The subordinates thought it was a legend, and the county annals recorded it indiscriminately, but they didn't think it was true."

They walked along a trail, which was hidden in the grass, and there were obvious traces of artificial cover.

In order to make a fortune, Chang Chen also has good intentions.

After seven turns and eight turns, they finally arrived at their destination.

Before getting close, Luo Youdu smelled the special smell of oil.

When I came close, I saw black oil flowing everywhere on the ground, and there was an ancient well not far away, and the oil overflowed from the ancient well.

Luo Youdu looked at the oil in that well from a distance, his eyes widened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Luo Youdu didn't know why this happened, but he didn't need to know. He only knew that there was oil here, and there was a lot of oil, and that was enough.

In fact, from a professional point of view, there is oil hidden underground in the mountains.

The ancients dug a well here to get water, and whenever the crust moved, some oil would overflow.

This oil is insoluble in water and is lighter than water, so it floats on the surface of water.As a result, the well water turns from white to black, which is the record of Wuwei county annals.

Petroleum is a mixture, and the components with small molecular weight are easy to volatilize. After a long time, the volatilization will cause the spring water to turn white again.

Therefore, there is a record of Jing Xun as before.

However, some time ago, a small earthquake occurred in the mountains, shaking out the underground oil, and a large amount of oil overflowed the wellhead.

The rabbit in the mountains passed by, stepping on the oil and leaving footprints.Chang Chen, who went up the mountain to collect herbs, found out that he came here out of curiosity...

The cause and effect of all this is completely miraculous of nature, with the help of an ancient well, the cause and effect of which is naturally no one knows.

Luo Youdu said to Hong Bo: "It is not allowed to tell the second person about the situation here. I have great use for these oils."

Hong Bo nodded solemnly and said: "This subordinate will never tell others." After speaking, he glanced at Chang Chen and asked, "How to deal with this person?"

Chang Chen knelt down in horror, kowtowed and said, "Master, a villain will never tell others, so please forgive me."

Luo Youdu said: "He found this stone lacquer, and he is considered to be meritorious. In this way, you should lock him up alone first, and prevent him from contacting others before our army takes Huainan. After taking Huainan, you will hold him accountable and burn it down." The crime of the house. The crime is halved by merit."

If Chang Chen had confessed everything honestly from the beginning, and Luo Youdu would pardon him for his innocence, it would be fine.

But obviously, even if Chang Chen wasn't a troublemaker, he couldn't be called a good citizen. He had to suffer what he deserved, and he couldn't run away.

Hong Bo said again: "In summer, not many people go to the mountain, but in autumn, when the wild fruits and vegetables grow on the mountain, many people will go to the mountain to pick them. If there are too many people, I'm afraid we can't hide it. The next official applies for a notice. Let’s say that a fierce tiger came from the mountain, and many people were killed. People are forbidden to enter the mountain. It can also be said that the envoy transported the stone paint for the safety of the people, and the soldiers went up the mountain to search for the tiger... What do the envoys think?”

Luo Youdu smiled and praised: "It's so good, it's settled like this."

He immediately left five soldiers to guard here.

Repeatedly emphasized that they should not start fires near here, let them find a place to rest a hundred steps away, and block the way in and out.

Then he went down the mountain and rode his horse to Chaohu Water Village.

On the bank of Chaohu Lake, three thousand horses are eating grass leisurely on the bank.

Shi Shouxin was wearing shorts, sitting on a stone by the river, grilling a fish. Seeing Luo Youdu coming from a distance, he yelled: "Brother Luo, come and eat the fish. The fish I caught now ,Fresh."

Luo Youdu cursed with a smile.

Shi Shouxin was originally stationed in the city, but some time ago he said that he would go to station outside the city, saying that it would be too troublesome to cut grass from outside the city and send it into the city every day, so it is better to station outside the city to stock up.

Where did Luo Youdu not know Shi Shouxin?

Apparently he thought it was too hot in the city.

Sure enough, Shi Shouxin camped at the foot of the mountain near Chaohu Lake. Apart from daily training, he would play in the water and catch fish in Chaohu Lake every day.

Luo Youdu came nearby and sat down, took Shi Shouxin and handed him the grilled fish.

Oil was rubbed on it, salt was sprinkled on it, and basil juice was applied on it. It tasted really good.

Luo Youdu ate two mouthfuls, nodded in praise and said, "If my brother can't survive in the army, he would be a good cook."

Shi Shouxin looked at Luo Youdu twice more: "Have you thought of a way to deal with the Southern Tang navy?"

He knew that Luo Youdu had been worrying about this matter all along, but now he saw that the worry on his brow had disappeared.

Luo Youdu swallowed the fish in his mouth and said, "That's right, God has treated me well, and gave me a big gift!"
