Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1290 Famine and Natural Disaster 449

Mingyi was surprised. If you grow vegetables in winter, as long as the temperature is high enough and there is bright light, how can they not grow if you take good care of them?

She suddenly remembered that ancient people had no specific research results in this area.

Chunmei told her some more things about Fucheng's winter vegetables, and she learned that there was a deserted hot spring mountain more than thirty or forty kilometers outside Fucheng, and the people living at the foot of the mountain would grow some vegetables on the mountain.

"Since there is a hot spring mountain, it would be great to build a farm there, grow vegetables, and go there to escape the cold in winter. Why doesn't anyone go there? It's a pity to leave it barren."

  The Northwest nobles wouldn't be so stupid, right? Could there be a reason that she didn't know?

And this reason was that the nobles had to give up the hot spring mountain.

Chunmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her master's question, so she could only tell her everything she knew, "Master, there is indeed a reason."

"Why would they give up the precious land of Hot Spring Mountain?"

"Fucheng is the first line of defense for the northwest border city, and it is also called Fucheng Pass. Thirty miles away from Fucheng is the border with the former Ningguo, where people are good at using Gu. It's not that no one wanted to buy it and build a manor, but within a few days of buying it, there were always people who went into the mountain and never came back. Over time, Wenquan Mountain became a deserted mountain that no one cared about."

Chunmei paused for a moment, and seeing that she was listening carefully, she continued, "Many people speculated that it was done by the people of Ning, but there is no evidence; the nobles who bought the hot spring mountain at that time, although the head of the family was fine, many of the head's confidants died, and no one was found alive or dead. No one who went in to look for them came back, so it became a taboo."

"Didn't they go to the government?" When encountering problems, she would first go to the police. This was a habit she developed in her first life. Later in her time travel, she encountered many things, but it could be said that everything went quite smoothly. This was the first time she encountered such a strange incident, she chose to endure it and not investigate.

"We looked for them and even came to the palace. King Zhou was in charge of the troops at that time and sent people to investigate the matter, but none of them came back." Chunmei recalled the prince's dark and embarrassed face during that time and she still feels a lingering fear.

"So this matter is over?"

It is not surprising that ancient officials chose to let cases go when they encountered cases that they could not solve.

"The prince wanted to continue the investigation, but it would be difficult to find out unless a large group of people were sent into the mountains to search in the deep mountains and old forests. Coincidentally, the grassland people invaded at that time, so the matter was temporarily put on hold. By the time the prince had finished the war and had time, Wenquan Mountain had become a barren mountain, and no abnormalities occurred in the mountain. In the end, the matter had to be left unresolved." The matter ended with a whimper.

Mingyi stroked his chin and continued to reason along this line, "If it was really done by the Ning people, then they are very arrogant! Making trouble on the border between the two countries; if it wasn't them, who did it?"

Chunmei shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

A cold case that remains unsolved to this day.

Mingyi became distracted as she was thinking, and she ate whatever Chunmei handed her. Chunmei served her wholeheartedly, fearing that she would choke and worrying that she was too dry, and kept giving her juice.

Mingyi was eating pastries, her mind was not on the present, her thoughts drifting away.

  Ningguo has been conquered, and there is no Ningguo anymore; if the incident at Wenquan Mountain was done by the Ningguo people, then either all the Gu Masters in Ningguo were not exterminated, and some of them were hiding in Wenquan Mountain. If it was not done by the Ningguo people, then someone did it deliberately, and what was his purpose?

If she has a chance, she has to go to Wenquan Mountain to see it and come to a conclusion. If possible, she wants to buy Wenquan Mountain. In the future, the development of the northwest will be better and better, and she plans to retire in the northwest. She will build a manor on Wenquan Mountain, go into the mountain to avoid the cold before the weather turns cold, and spend the winter comfortably.

"Master, be careful, the juice is going to spill."

Suddenly, he was brought back to his senses by the gentle call. He was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses. He put the juice on the table and said, "Please remember this for me. When we finish the things at hand, we will go to the hot spring mountain to have a look. Remember to remind me."

There have been a lot of things going on lately and she was afraid she would forget about it.

No matter how good your memory is, it is normal to occasionally selectively forget one or two unimportant things.

Things and memories that are truly important will not be selectively forgotten.

"Master, do you want Wenquan Mountain?" Chunmei asked subconsciously. Mingyi nodded, "Wenquan Mountain is a good place. I have to go and see what's going on inside. Since the villagers can grow vegetables in the mountain, it means that the people who planned and controlled Wenquan Mountain have no ill will towards the villagers."

Or maybe there is something wrong with the village at the foot of the mountain.

No matter what, we have to find out clearly.

"master."

"Don't try to persuade me." He raised his hand to interrupt Chunmei's unspoken words and said directly: "There is a secret in Wenquan Mountain. Since I know it, I want to go and see it. When the time comes, bring your prince and his guards into the mountain together."

There is something fishy about the missing persons incident at Wenquan Mountain.

If King Zhou had sent capable people to investigate, perhaps the case would have been solved long ago; the problem was that King Zhou did not pay enough attention at the time, and when he encountered an enemy invasion, he missed the best opportunity to investigate the case, resulting in a good hot spring mountain becoming a place that people in Fucheng avoided.

I was afraid that I would die if I entered the hot spring mountain.

Others are afraid of losing their lives, but she is not.

"But."

"No buts, your prince will also go there at that time."

Chunmei: You haven't told the prince yet, how do you know if he will agree? Maybe he won't agree.

Mingyi looked at her with a smile, seeing through her thoughts, but smiled without saying anything.

Chunmei was secretly panicking. It had only been five or six years since the disappearance of people at Wenquan Mountain. She was still young at the time and her mother worked in the government office. She followed her mother here often and only then did she know about this.

If the master really went, she didn't know martial arts and couldn't protect the master.

"Master, please let someone teach me martial arts!"

Her master has never been a person of obedience, and has been spoiled by the prince, so she practiced martial arts, at least to be able to protect her master.

"Silly girl, practicing martial arts is hard work. You need to practice in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter. You need to persist for many years." Seeing through her thoughts, Mingyi gave her a piece of cake as a reward. "Take it and eat it. Don't think too much. If we go into the mountains, we will definitely need people to protect us. You just wait in the palace obediently."

She wanted to go to Hot Spring Mountain to investigate, and she also wanted Hot Spring Mountain; more importantly, she was keenly aware of the unusualness of Hot Spring Mountain.

Chaosheng conquered the Western Regions and Ningguo, and these two countries and the Northwest belonged to one person; there was an unusual place nearby, which had to be investigated carefully.

As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to defend it.

If the villagers at the foot of the hot spring mountain were really from Ningguo, or from the Western Regions or the grasslands, then they would be active right under their noses, and how could they allow others to snore next to their beds?

Chunmei didn't want to give up and persuaded her for a long time.

Mingyi was so annoyed that he could only tell the truth, "You don't have a talent for martial arts. Even if you practice martial arts, you can only strengthen your body. It's impossible for you to wield swords and sticks like the guards. Don't waste your precious time."
