Chapter 262: Salt Making & Searching for Ming Wang's "Secret Base"
Feng Hansong and Jun Linghan also had the same idea and did the same thing as her.
While no one was paying attention, the two of them secretly filled up a lot of lake salt...
There is strength in numbers, and soon a small mountain of salt was piled up outside the camp.
Feng Hanyu, who was guarding the big pot, was refining refined salt. He knew the method of making salt, but now he just needed experiments. However, he was confident that he could succeed.
The people on night patrol tonight have an additional task, which is to help Feng Hanyu make salt.
Looking at the white refined salt, Wu Cha patted Feng Hanyue's shoulder and said with a smile,
"Mr. Feng, you are truly talented! Well done!"
Of course, he was rewarded with a small bag of salt in the end, but that’s another story.
Feng Hanyu is still a "ruthless salt-making machine" now.
It wasn't until dawn that Feng Hanyu was able to rest.
On the other side, Feng Hanyue went to Feng Hanbai just after dawn, put the salt they had just mined into the space and took it away, leaving four people to guard it and wait for the team to come and pick them up.
Jun Linghan will not give up this piece of "fat meat", not to mention that his men are now fully active.
Although he had been stationed at the border for many years, he had intended to leave some soldiers behind to resist the foreign enemies this time. Unfortunately, Emperor Jingtai, the King's Uncle and other people would not give them any chance to survive. Jun Linghan was not some great saint father, so he would not let his loyal soldiers go to die. He directly sent a letter, instructing Xie Wenxun to clean up the mess and meet in the north.
This time, all the generals sent letters to their families, taking advantage of the drought to flee the famine and let everyone flee directly to the north to reunite with their families.
Especially generals like Xie Wenxun, whose families were officials in the capital, had to evacuate, otherwise they would be killed as sacrifices.
Xie Wenxun's father, Xie Sheng, was furious when he received the letter from home.
There is no other way. My son has done what he has done. If he doesn’t want to die, run away quickly!
He quietly called Xie's mother over and asked her to pack up her belongings, saying that he wanted to retire and return to his hometown to enjoy his remaining years.
"Master, you are not very old. What happened?"
Xie Sheng, "Ah... go clean up, hurry up."
Xie's mother shook her head and pointed out the key point directly.
"Master, how could His Majesty let us go? Don't forget that Wen Xun still holds military power in the southwest. We may seem to be enjoying ourselves in the capital, but we are actually hostages. Will His Majesty allow hostages to retire and return home? Don't be naive..."
In fact, she hadn't said anything else. Wen Xun was the War King's man. Although that man was a commoner now, Emperor Jingtai had to keep a firm grip on the "vital points" of these former War King's subordinates.
If these "vital points" of theirs escape, they will have to directly...
When a general is away from the battlefield, he is not allowed to give military orders. This principle has been understood by everyone from ancient times to the present.
Xie Sheng looked at Xie's mother and said directly,
"Don't worry, we'll leave after Xun'er's funeral in a few days. By then, if you're heartbroken, I'll take you back to seclusion."
Mother Xie grabbed Father Xie's arm.
"What did you say?"
"Go clean it up."
Looking at Xie's father's calm face, Xie's mother understood that they had been together for a lifetime...
Without asking any more questions, he quietly packed up his gold and silver jewelry in the afternoon...
That's it!
This is a mess in the imperial court, so let it be.
Similar scenes were played out in several families in the capital. Of course, those generals who came from farming families did not have so many concerns. Although they were away from home for many years, they were almost the "pillars" of the family. After receiving the letter, they went directly to the village chief to explain their destination. Those who were willing to go together could go together, and those who were not willing could not be forced.
The village chief naturally knew that the sons of those families were all serving in the army and that they were not high-ranking soldiers. After discussing with the elders, some of the elders decided to head north with the entire village, while others decided to head north with several close friends to say goodbye to their fellow villagers. Of course, a few elders, whose sons were not around, followed the advice of their other sons and headed south directly...
Whatever choice you make, you must bear the consequences of your choice.
The people heading north experienced countless hardships and treks, but upon arriving, they discovered that the north was not the paradise they had imagined. The land was barren, the climate was cold, and the living conditions were harsh, leaving them stunned.
This is not even as good as my own village!
But they still have a son, and they only hope that he will come soon and bring them a surprise. Now they can only dig grass roots to make a living...
…………
On the other side, Feng Hanyue and his group continued to head north. Three days later, in the evening, they finally arrived at a flat place and set up camp.
"Second brother, big brother, look!"
"These are the ruts left by the mule cart. They must have been pulling a lot of heavy stuff."
Looking at the deep tire tracks left by the passing vehicles, his face couldn't help but grow heavy.
Feng Hanyue and Jun Linghan looked at each other and thought of the weapons and armor in the Yuecheng City Lord's Mansion. Could this be where they were produced?
The two of them were secretly preparing for a big fight.
After everyone's tacit understanding last night, they all knew that Feng Hanyue's space was bigger than they had imagined.
Looking at the endless mountains behind, this is a good place.
If there really is iron ore, the big mountains will be the best protection.
Jun Linghan used his Qinggong skills to follow the wheel tracks and slowly flew deeper into the mountains...
