My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

The fire burned the mountain all night but did not go out.

After dawn, people from nearby villages rushed to put out the fire with axes, saws, hoes, baskets and other items.

At that time, there was still a short section of the isolation belt that had not been opened up. With their participation, it was not long before it was all completed.

Many people cursed, saying, "Who would set fire to the mountain?" and "We are not afraid of God's punishment." Some people also sincerely thanked the exile team who put out the fire.

If they hadn't cleared the isolation zone in time, the fire would have spread to other hills, and their village would have been in danger.

On the other side, Su Yunwan controlled the fire, extending the edge of the space division to the outer extension of the isolation zone. According to the experience of charcoal making recorded in the records of later generations when they had nothing to do, the entire sea of ​​​​fire was turned into a large kiln, which was isolated from the air for pyrolysis.

After the fire was extinguished, all the trees in the fire scene were refined into smokeless, burn-resistant silver bone charcoal.

The surface of this kind of carbon is silvery, and its production method is in the hands of the royal family. It is expensive and is used by the royal palace and the upper class.

The people who put out the fire were amazed when they saw it, and immediately took action, picking up silver charcoal and carrying it home.

Some people expect to sell it at a good price, and some people keep it for their own homes for winter use. No matter what the purpose is, they are all happy and say that they are lucky to have come to put out the fire early in the morning.

Looking at the lively scene of people collecting charcoal, Qin Junyi's eyes flashed with a dark light and said: "Let's collect some too."

Naturally, it is impossible for Wanwan to create such a large piece of silver charcoal to reward the people who put out the fire. He took some on the road so that he could provide cover for Wan Wan.

In fact, Su Yunwan just had the idea of ​​turning waste into treasure and turned Huoshao Mountain into a charcoal refining site.

Now that the fire is out, she goes to the site in person, picks and chooses, and collects most of the silver charcoal into the space.

Very good, no matter how heavy the snow is, the charcoal fire for the winter will be enough.

When she left the charcoal field with satisfaction and was about to go down the mountain, Xiao Hei emerged from the secret passage.

When he saw Su Yunwan, he immediately climbed into her shoes.

The next second, his body flew into the air, spinning around, and fell onto the grass a few meters away.

Su Yunwan pulled back her foot with a look of disgust on her face: "Don't hurt me!"

The little black snake who wanted to take credit was kicked away as soon as he stepped forward. Because Su Yunwan controlled the force and landed lightly on the ground, he was not injured.

It shook its dizzy head, only to find that it was even more dizzy, so it simply lay down on the ground and hissed sadly, accusing Su Yunwan of being cold-blooded and ruthless, and throwing it away after use. ....

Su Yunwan was about to laugh to death in her heart, but she pretended to be angry and said, "Then you go and be Shi Er's pet."

Xiaohei: "..."

It doesn’t want it!

Although it also likes to pick up two pieces, it can also hang on his wrist and swing. But he couldn't understand his own words, and he couldn't give himself the red fruit that could increase his spiritual wisdom!

Just because he was used to being close to Shi Er, he forgot about Su Yunwan's displeasure and started to crawl on her as soon as they met.

After a while of silence, the little black snake did not forget its purpose and talked about how it ordered the snakes in the mountains to form a snake army to fight the incoming enemy two days ago.

How he made the decisive decision last night to organize the snakes to escape from the fire.

Finally, it puffed up its snake chest and hissed: "How about it? I'm very powerful. You will never be in trouble by raising me."

Su Yunwan finally couldn't hold back her smile. She looked at the arrogant Black Snake and chuckled: "It's really good. I made a lot of money. But you have to remember, don't try to get close to me. You may not be so lucky next time. .”

The little black snake froze and nodded reluctantly.

Later, Su Yunwan did not forget to reward the Snake Army and asked Xiao Hei to lead the way to the Snake Army's hiding place.

However, she didn't want to meet the dense group of snakes, so she stopped when she arrived nearby.

After communicating with the little black snake, he took out the seeds of the cnidium that he had collected in the mountains before and sprinkled them on the ground to encourage them to form.

The seeds of Cnidifera have high medicinal value. They can cure itching, ringworm, and psoriasis. They can also treat stomach diseases, insect diseases, and even nourish yin and yang. They are extremely useful.

The reason why it is named Cnidium nidus is because snakes like to hide under it and eat its fruits.

After Su Yunwan spawned a sufficient share of Cnidium seeds, she left first.

When she reached the gathering place at the foot of the back mountain, there were more than a dozen people identifying themselves with the Qin family.

Qin Junyi, who had changed his identity and sat in the wheelchair again, saw Su Yunwan and immediately waved to her and introduced these people to her.

This advance team numbered over a thousand people, all of whom were elite soldiers of Qin Junyi. They were led by left guard Zhou Pengcheng, the middle-aged man who greeted Qin Mu last night.

A general's personal soldiers are generally composed of the people he trusts the most, such as brothers, nephews, and descendants of the clan, who are most loyal to the general.

Among the soldiers who came disguised as a caravan this time, there were Qin Junyi's second cousin, three concubine brothers, eight adopted sons recognized by his father, and many people who were related to the Qin family.

Their faces were all extremely resolute. Even though they were dressed like businessmen or thugs, they were still full of solemnity. It was obvious at a glance that they were from an army with strict disciplines and strict orders.

After Su Yunwan got to know each other one by one, the old lady, who had recovered a lot, took her grandson Qin Yingzhe, whom she had not seen for many years, and asked him about his parents and his family in the northwest.

Since her exile, she has been too busy taking care of herself and being distracted by Su Yunwan, Pei Shi, Cen Yiyi and others, so she didn't ask Qin Junyi much about the situation in the northwest.

Now that I heard that the Northwest tribesmen were not escorted into exile by officers and soldiers, but went to Youzhou in batches on their own initiative, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said "Okay" repeatedly.

After everyone rested for an hour, they embarked on the road to exile again.

During this trip to Heifeng Village, a lot of grain and donkey carts for transporting supplies in the village were seized. After several battles, a large number of weapons and horses were harvested. It can be said that it was a full harvest.

Before setting off, the women in the village, who were either the wives and concubines of bandits or the mothers-in-law of rough messengers, all fell to their knees one by one, willing to sell themselves and let them be driven. They only asked Zhong Wei to take them on the road together and give them a hand. Eat food.

Only one woman came to Qin Junyi, and that person was Su Ling, Zhong Wei's former bed warmer who almost gave it to Wu Shaohan.

She was disliked by Zhong Wei and was responsible for the washing work. Her delicate hands were soaked in water all day long and had become wrinkled and swollen.

If winter came, she couldn't imagine what would happen to these hands.

Therefore, Su Ling turned her target to the Qin family, hoping to have a first-come-first-served relationship with Wu Shaohan.

Qin Junyi glanced at the groveling woman and turned to ask Su Yunwan: "Wanwan, you have the final say on the employment of the back house."

Su Ling heard this and immediately said: "Madam, please take pity on this poor little girl and give her some food."

Su Yunwan inquired about it and learned that she was responsible for washing clothes in recent days, and said directly: "Then you should be mainly responsible for washing clothes, and other matters are at Grandma Fang's disposal."

"Yes, thank you madam." Su Ling kowtowed.

Aunt Fang, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately stepped forward, took her into the donkey cart assigned to the Zhao family, and taught her the rules.

On the other side, in order to prevent those women from leaking the news that the Qin family's soldiers had arrived, Zhong Wei also took them all on the road.

With those horses and donkey carts, Zhong Wei fulfilled what he had said before and allowed all the prisoners who were originally walking to ride on donkey-drawn carts, freeing their weather-beaten legs and greatly speeding up their march.

As for the northwest soldiers, except for Qin Junyi's cousin and concubine who joined the Qin family's team on horseback, the others still pretended to be caravans and fell behind the exile team not far or near.

The two teams galloped across the repaired Zhuohe River Bridge and entered the county smoothly.

They originally wanted to pass through the city directly, but they didn't expect that the county magistrate Mr. Sun had already prepared a banquet and invited Qin Junyi to come into the mansion to have a chat.
