Yan Nu wanted someone to deliver the wheat seeds. They stayed in Qingyuan County for two more days. Li Bohan found out about Shen Hexi's idea and went out to find some wheat seeds and got him 30 shi.Dunliang City is much larger than Shen Hexi imagined, even if all the 30 shi wheat seeds are used, it is afraid that only a small piece can be planted.

It was not until they left that the two young eagles couldn't stand it anymore and began to eat the food fed by Li Bohan and Shen Hexi. What's even more amazing is that these two young eagles, who were so abused by Li Bohan, treated Li Bohan very close and enthusiastic, even with a touch of flattery , when dealing with Shen Hexi, it was more perfunctory.Shen Hexi was so angry that he was the one who treated them better, so why didn't the two white-eyed wolves get close to him in the end?Could it be that he has raised two hawks, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't abuse them.

After leaving Yongping Mansion, Maitreya Mansion is to the west. This Maitreya Mansion is much poorer than Yongping Mansion. The more you go west, the more hills and mountains, and this mountainous land is not very suitable for farming.

In addition to being unable to grow food in the mountains, the mountain roads are also very difficult to walk. It used to be very easy to travel sixty or seventy miles a day on horseback, but walking thirty or forty miles a day on the mountain roads is already exhausting.Shen Hexi felt a little regretful that if he had known that they would take the official way, why would he take the country road.

After walking for a day, three people and two eagles found a small village to settle down. There were only a hundred households in this village. Most of the people worked in the iron mines on the mountain to earn some hard money. The various crops on their side of the mountain did not grow very much. I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat if I go out to work.

The peasant household where the three settled was an old man's family. His old wife passed away for many years and lived alone with two boys. In the village, there were only two vacant houses in the old man's house that could live alone.This house was originally lived by his son, but recently the iron mine has a large amount of iron ore to be transported and the two live in the mine.

Li Baihan, who had nothing to eat at the farmer's house, gave the old man the white wheat steamed buns and some dried meat he had brought, and asked him to warm them up. He also asked Yan Nu to hunt two pheasants on a nearby mountain, and dinner was settled.

They are not hypocritical people. At dinner, I called the old man together. During the conversation, I heard that there is not only an iron mine on the mountain, but also an iron smelting plant. Li Baihan was a little puzzled. The ore must first be transported to a place designated by the government for preliminary screening before being sent to the iron smelting plant set up by the government.Why did it change when we got to Maitreya Mansion, the iron smelting plant opened directly next to the mine.

Li Bohan had some doubts in his mind, so he asked a few more questions. The old man said that the iron smelting plant was built in the last ten years, and his doubts were even greater. If it was built recently, it would be fine. Save yourself the hassle of transporting it around.But if it was ten years ago, there would be more doubts. Ten years ago, Aoki was at war with Snow Country, and there was a shortage of iron ore in the country. At that time, the imperial court was very strict about iron ore. Go to the iron smelting factory appointed by the imperial court to process it into swords and send them to the border.Under such circumstances, even if the Maitreya Mansion had a thousand guts, it would not dare to set up such an iron smelting factory privately.

The old man can't say anything about many things, Li Bohan wants to live here for a day and secretly go to the mine on the mountain tomorrow to see if there are any strange things in it.

On the second day, Li Baihan asked Yannu to take Shen Hexi to rest in the village, and he went up the mountain alone.The iron mine and iron smelting plant are not difficult to find. From a long distance, you can see white smoke bubbling from a mountain valley.Li Baihan's lightness kung fu was so good that no one noticed it when he entered the iron mine.

The construction of this iron mine is not small. In addition to the miners, there are many people wearing ordinary soldier uniforms patrolling back and forth. Trucks of iron ore are transported from the mine and directly transported to an iron smelting plant one mile away. The iron smelter was built in the middle of a big river, and the white smoke came from here.

On the surface, everything looks normal but there is nothing worth checking, but Li Baihan always feels uneasy in his heart and feels like he has overlooked something.

He sneaked into the iron smelting factory from a high mountain forest in a few jumps. The factory was full of large and small iron ore.

"Be quick with your hands and feet. This month, as long as you can hand over 1000 more iron blocks, each person will be given an extra penny, and if you get an extra 2000 yuan, you will be given five pennies. If I see someone who is lazy and delays my reward money, I will take care of you." The supervisor walked around outside the huge iron smelting plant with rattan canes and hands behind his back, urging the workers to bring the iron ore into the plant.

There is a large warehouse next to the iron smelting plant, and the iron blocks that have been smelted are neatly stacked and placed in wooden boxes one by one.When a box is full, the wooden box is sealed immediately, and there is a carriage waiting at the door to transport the iron blocks down the mountain.

In the past two years, there has been no war in Aoki. Although the imperial court has been focusing on iron smelting, it will not rush to this. Li Baihan frowned. Who wants these irons, and why is he in such a hurry.

Li Baihan followed the convoy transporting the iron all the way out of the valley, and turned into a village on the mountain road. This village is very big, not far from the village where they settled down. There is a strong man in black clothes at the door. , A load of iron blocks was put into Zhuangzi under their inspection.Now Li Bohan was even more puzzled?When did this Immortal Sword Hall become the warehouse of the imperial court, and the iron refined by the imperial court will be sent to their Zhuangzi.

The three big characters of Immortal Sword Hall on the gate of this Zhuangzi are very eye-catching. Li Baihan squinted his eyes and changed his direction to sneak into the Zhuangzi. The three-meter-high wall can hide ordinary people, but it cannot hide Li Baihan.

Entering Zhuangzi, the sound of blacksmithing came into his ears slightly. Li Baihan followed the sound and entered the Zhuangzi, and saw that all the rooms in Zhuangzi had been turned into blacksmith shops, and dozens of blacksmiths were making weapons in full swing.There are many styles of this weapon. In addition to the usual swords and bows, spears and even hidden weapons.Li Baihan secretly took a small leaf flying knife and found no imprint of the Immortal Sword Hall on the knife, nor the official seal that should have been left by the Maitreya Mansion.In other words, this batch of weapons has no mark, and it belongs to black households.

Making weapons privately is a capital crime for the Zhu Jiu Clan. Whoever is so reckless will do what he will do with these weapons.

Li Baihan didn't stay in the Zhuangzi of Xianjiantang, he came out of the Zhuangzi quietly, and went directly back to the small village where Shen Hexi lived.Now it's not easy for him to find out one or two by himself. He needs manpower to help, but it's just a question of where to get the manpower.

He went out for a whole day, and when he returned, Shen Hexi was already sound asleep.The two young eagles squatted obediently on the shelf and stared at Li Bohan who had just entered the room with their small light blue eyes.Seeing that the person who came was an acquaintance, he retracted his full-body offensive posture.

"If we don't see each other for a day, we won't know each other." Li Bohan stepped forward and patted the heads of the two young eagles, "Is Yan Nu doing nothing today?" Of course what he asked was about Shen Hexi.

"It's okay, there's no scenery around this small village. You can see that Master Xi is practicing sword all day long." Yan Nu returned to Li Bohan and went back to rest. He couldn't understand why the prince Li Bohan would treat Shen Hexi like this. Shangxin, say that he has a plan, what can there be in a doll, say that he has no plans, why does he follow Shen Hexi all day long to take care of him as a father and mother?Could it be that he likes children but can't give birth by himself, so he likes Shen Hexi so much?No way, he doesn't look like someone with a hidden disease.

After a day of delay in the small village, the three of them gave the old man some silver coins on the second day and set off on their way. Li Baihan was worried about the weapons and the journey to Maitreya City was a bit rushed. They detoured from the country road and took the official road. .

The three of them had just entered the official road and hadn't walked for a long time when they heard the sound of horseshoes behind them. More than a dozen people in black clothes and holding long swords rushed towards them. It seemed that these people had been waiting on this official road for a long time.

The men in black are all well-trained, and the horses under them are also extremely strong. It took only a few minutes from when Li Bohan saw them to when they rushed over. Li Bohan protected Shen Hexi with one hand while urging the horses to run forward. I can't care about who wants to kill them, and now it's important to save their lives.

The three of them ran for a hundred meters. Five men in black appeared on the official road in front of them. A big tree collapsed and blocked their way.Li Baihan's eyes showed a cold light and he shouted, "Yannu rushed over."

Their horses will be changed every time they arrive at a post station. Li Baihan has planned the route before leaving. He has planned how many miles he will travel every day, where he will change horses and where he will rest.Thanks to his thoughtfulness, the horses they were riding were not tired, and they still had the ability to cross a tree.

But even if they stepped over the tree blocking the way, the man in black behind him would catch up, and a big battle was inevitable.

"Young Master Han, you go first, I'll be the last one." Yan Nu held the long sword in his hand and suddenly reined in Ma Chuan and rushed towards the man in black behind him.

This action of his not only scared Li Baihan, Shen Hexi, but also those men in black. How crazy this man is to block a dozen unknown pursuers by himself.

"Yan slave." Shen Hexi yelled, but couldn't stop him.

Li Baihan protected Shen Hexi and continued to run forward, and the sound of swords came from behind him.Yan Nu didn't have three heads and six arms and couldn't stop so many people at once, and there were still fish that slipped through the net and approached Li Baihan.

"Xi'er will close his eyes for a while and don't allow to see anything." Li Bohan said as he pushed the cloak on Shen Hexi's body forward to cover him completely.

Shen Hexi, whose sight was blocked by the cloak, only felt that the horse under him had turned around, and there was a sound of ping-pong, pong-pong, swords clashing, and Li Bohan tightly wrapped his arms around his waist. He wanted to get the cloak up, but was suppressed by Li Bohan. At this moment, he was afraid of distracting Li Baihan's attention and did not dare to pull hard, so he could only feel the fight through the gap under the cloak.
