God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 290

Du He immediately announced that the remaining wolf would be depilated, dissected, cleared and cleaned, and a pot of wolf broth would be made again.

As for the dozen or so captives, they were all tied up with ropes and handed over to Xu Zhengdao for interrogation.

Not long after, Xu Zhengdao came back and said helplessly: "These guys don't know what to ask, so they might as well kill them all."

Du He was not surprised when he heard this: "Our enemy this time is not simple. For such a long time, we have fought several times, but we have not revealed any flaws. Every time we catch them, they are just peripheral personnel. The kind of love, things are getting more and more interesting!"

As he said that, he shook his head: "It's a pity to kill. After a few days we find coal, we must build a coal mine belonging to the Dream Group. At that time, mining coal will require a lot of manpower. These guys are all strong and strong. , just used to dig coal."

Not far away, a craftsman suddenly shouted: "Master, the wolf broth is ready."

When Du He walked over, everyone dared to move their chopsticks.

A group of people surrounded the big iron pot and started eating happily.

To the surprise of the craftsmen, Du He didn't have any ostentation. Instead, he got along well with everyone, which was very different from how everyone came into contact with dignitaries and dignitaries in the past.

It was not until midnight that everyone fell asleep.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Du He ordered people to burn the bodies of the dead men in black, and then left three guards in the camp to guard the prisoners. Explore coal mines.

……

Chang'an City.

boom.

In the yard, the stone table was kicked flying with a ghostly kick.

"Hmph, waste, all waste. In just half a month, I have lost hundreds of masters in fighting Du He a few times. If this continues, I will give away all the heads before Du He makes a move." Ghost God Said angrily.

Cui San stood aside without saying a word.

The ghost suddenly turned around and asked, "What happened to what I asked you to do?"

"My lord," Cui San said hastily, "everything will go on as usual. In a few days, Ma Bin will be hooked. At that time, as long as Ma Bin is in hand, don't believe that Ma Zhou won't obediently listen to us."

The ghost nodded in satisfaction: "Du He is really difficult to deal with. I didn't kill him in Lantian this time. It may be more difficult to kill him in the future. Now, I have to put my hope on Ma Zhou."

Ma Bin is Ma Zhou's ineffective nephew.

……

On this day, when Ma Bin came out of Xinghuafang, he was downcast and unhappy.

He stayed in the gambling house for three consecutive days, and lost all the one hundred thousand Kaiyuan Tongbao that he carried with him.

"Let's go back and find the third uncle. I heard that the third uncle has been in Qujiang Pond during this period of time, mixing with Du He. Du He is the richest man in Chang'an and the best at making money. Presumably the uncle also made money with him. That's a lot of money." The third uncle Ma Bin was talking about was Ma Zhou.

Ma Bin hurried back to Ma's mansion, and hurried to the study to ask Ma Zhou for money.

Ma Zhou picked up the book in his hand and slapped Ma Bin's head violently, "You bastard, you don't learn well at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but you are contaminated with bad gambling habits. What do you want me to do? From today on, you You are not allowed to gamble anymore, just stay at home and study honestly, in the future you will be able to pass the civil examination and become an official in the court, and I will be worthy of my elder brother who passed away, so I must stop doing anything wrong!"

Ma Zhou's elder brother died young, leaving behind an only son, Ma Bin, who was brought up by Ma Zhou's hand, but who knows that he is an unworthy kid.

Ma Bin made a fuss, but he didn't even get a penny.

After returning to the room, the more he thought about it, the more he became unconvinced, so he quietly slipped out of the Ma residence.

Just came to the alley behind the Ma Mansion.

Ma Bin ran into an acquaintance, Cui San, a wealthy businessman whom he met during gambling.

As soon as Cui San saw Ma Bin, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Ma, is this another loss?"

Ma Bin nodded and sighed: "Don't mention it, I've been unlucky these few days, and I lost hundreds of thousands in a row. By the way, Brother Cui, you are a businessman. You must have a lot of money in your hand. Why don't you lend it to your brother?" How, I promise, within five days, when I get back the capital, I will return all of it to you, if you think it’s not possible, you can put interest, and when the time comes, I will return the principal with interest, how about it?”

Cui San was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was already happy.

Cui San grabbed Ma Bin's sleeve and said with a chuckle, "Young Master Ma, let's talk about it..."

……

The sun is shining.

Cicada cried tirelessly.

Du He took the lead and led the crowd through the mountain depression.

Along the way, Lu Bu stabbed through the road with a triangular army and slaughtered many wild beasts.

Seeing that everyone couldn't hold it anymore.

Du He just heard the sound of rushing water not far away, so he said: "Everyone hold on, there is a stream ahead, let's take a rest by the stream for a while, eat something before continuing to search."

Everyone couldn't help speeding up their pace, and after a while, they came to a small stream, found a flat place, and began to sit down and rest.

Two craftsmen were about to wash their faces by the stream, but they screamed as they walked past.

"what……"

"Oh no!"

The two hurried back.

Du He grabbed the two of them and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

One of them said: "Uncle Huyi County, it's not good, this stream is bewitched by evil spirits, and it turns out to be black."

Du He picked up the three-edged army thorn and rushed to the stream to have a look.

I saw that the water flowing in the creek was completely black.

He knelt down, picked it up casually with his hands, and took a look. In his eyes, it turned out to be black sand.

Du He suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, there is no place to find if you break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get here!"

That's right, what Du He held was exactly cinders.

Mu Zongsi and others rushed up.

After a while, Mu Zongsi said with certainty: "That's right, this is black soil. As long as you follow this stream, you will definitely be able to find the source of the black soil."

In this way, everyone's fatigue was swept away, and everyone was refreshed, ready to go immediately.

Everyone followed the upstream direction of the creek, and within a short time they came to the foot of a lush mountain. There was a dam under the mountain, which was the birthplace of the stream.

Mu Zongsi excitedly asked the craftsmen to dig up the turf, and there was coal under their feet.

Originally, everyone thought it would be very difficult to find black soil, because Duhe's requirements were too high, not only in the open air, but also in huge yields.

But no one thought that the task was completed in less than two days.

Mu Zongsi stood outside the crowd and looked at Du He with a puzzled look on his face.

Although he and many of the craftsmen present are good at prospecting, Du He personally took the lead in finding the black soil, and Du He was guiding the way along the way.

In other words, this black soil was completely found by Du He, and it had nothing to do with them.

Mu Zongsi couldn't help being confused. Along the way, Du He seemed to know that there is black soil here. Is he really that high-ranking, ignorant and incompetent Chang'an No. [-] dude?
