The two cars they were on were light carriages, and they could run very fast as long as the road conditions were good. More than a dozen cavalrymen had already gone to the front, and they were responsible for exploring the situation ahead. Because the salt mine was located very close to the border line, it took less than an hour to ride a horse. From time to time, there were three or two cavalry scouts passing by that side, which could be considered a dangerous place.

They set out in the morning and at noon, they barely reached the outer edge of the destination. The carriage ran on the military road. Chen Xiansong poked his head out of the slightly shaking window and found four gray-white mountains in front, standing among the woods in the distance, only revealing the winding ridges and gray-white tops.

"It seems that's the destination." Chen Xiansong touched his stomach. It was almost noon and he felt a little hungry.

"Give it." A cake wrapped in a silk scarf and also with Bai Min's body fragrance was placed in front of Chen Xiansong.

After blinking, Chen Xiansong did not answer, but said, "If I eat you, you will be gone."

"I still have it." Bai Min reached out from her collar and reached into her career line, and took out another piece of cake wrapped in a silk scarf.

Chen Xiansong took one, stared at her chest for a while, and then asked, "Who taught you to put on your body like this?"

"Sister Qianxin." Bai Min looked at Chen Xiansong and started eating the cake, looking a little happy. She continued, "Sister Qianxin said that you would like to hide the cake like this and then give it to Xiaosong."

I really like it! Chen Xiansong took a few bites of the cake, and once he tasted it, he knew it was Alice's craftsmanship. In addition, the cake was stained with Bai Min's fragrance. It tasted very flavorful. When he finished eating the cake, the carriage stopped. He lifted the curtain and saw that there was a gray-white world outside. Behind a large piece of salt field were four extremely high salt mountains. The air was filled with heavy spicy air, which was the smell of salt.

Chen Xiansong jumped down, and the slalom of sand and gravel came from the soles of his feet, as if he could hear the rustling. The cavalry wandered and patrolled nearby, guarding against all possible enemies and dangers. In the Yanyuan, there was a small path leading straight to the foot of the Yanshan Mountain. Looking from a distance, it seemed that someone could see shaking there.

Zelonger approached, and he looked at the salt mountain in the distance and said helplessly: "About 15 years ago, my grandfather got a title with his great military achievements. The king asked him that he wanted that piece of land as his territory. At that time, there were two territories for him to choose from. One was on the mountain plain in the north. Although it was colder, there was iron ore and forest. As long as he worked hard, he could enrich his descendants. The other was our Black Rock City. Black Rock City was not very rich, and it seemed that there was nothing except stones."

"Grandpa Grandpa originally wanted to choose the territory of the north. But when he was considering it, he heard a rumor that it seemed real, not real, not fake, not fake, there were several salt mountains here." Zelonger sneer sneer: "Grandpa Grandpa didn't believe it very much at the time, but he still sent someone to investigate. It turned out that there was really salt mountains here. Then he immediately told the king that he would choose Black Rock City as his territory."

Chen Xiansong frowned. He didn't know why Zelonger suddenly wanted to tell a story.

Zelonger ignored Chen Xiansong's questions and continued: "Although Grandpa was very cautious, he was a soldier. When his mind was hot, he felt that there was a salt mountain in this place, which was definitely a good place. Even if he didn't know how to make salt, even if he only sold yellow mud salt, he could make a lot of money every year. He was afraid that the opportunity would be taken away by others, so he decided directly. However, after he came here, he found out that... Salt Mountain is a salt mountain, but this salt mountain is poisonous. Ordinary people will vomit a little yellow mud salt. If they eat too much, they will die and cannot sell it at all."

"He regretted it, and asked someone to investigate who secretly released the news." Zelonger's eyes were full of sarcasm: "The person who posted this news was a great nobleman who Grandpa had offended before. After learning the news, Grandpa was deceived for himself and chose a poor territory and was depressed all day long. He died without living beyond his fifty or sixty years old. Then he became a laughing stock for a long time. The greedy commander was the nickname he got after his death."

"It sounds like a sad story." Chen Xiansong felt a little sympathetic to the fooled old man.

"This has also become a heart disease for every generation of our family. Although these mountains do not belong to our family's territory, they are our family's things within our patrol range." Zelonger pointed to the small black shadow far ahead: "Our family has never given up on the idea of ​​turning those salt mountains into gold coins. We believe that there are always some places in these mountains that are not poisonous, so we have been trying, but never succeeded."

"You are really resilient, you've been trying...wait!" Chen Xiansong's face suddenly changed and he asked anxiously: "What method do you use to try the poison?"

"Of course it's human beings." Zelonger said normally: "Dig some yellow mud salt in another place every day. As long as there is no poisoning, it should be sold. Unfortunately, it has not been found that there is a place in Yanshan that does not contain poison."

Hearing this, Chen Xiansong felt a chill rushing from his tail spine to his head, and then his scalp was numb. Even though he knew that the salt here would be eaten to death if it was not filtered, he still dared to use it as a test subject. How cruel and ruthless people could do it.

Seeing Chen Xiansong's face change drastically, Zelonger said strangely: "Do you think this is not good?"

"Of course not good!" Chen Xiansong jumped up angrily, his face dripping with gloomy expression: "There are many ways to test poison. The easiest way is to use animals to test it. Don't tell me, you can't think of this, I don't believe it."

"It doesn't mean it's okay if an animal eats it... it doesn't mean it's okay if a human eats it." Zelonger said lightly: "I've had such a thing before, and the animals have nothing to do. Our family thought that the yellow mud salt from that place could be eaten, so they brought it back to the house. As a result, the person who died was the youngest girl in our clan at that time. She was only four years old, and the cause of death was by mistake... After that, we all used people to test salt poison."

Chen Xiansong was silent for a while and said, "No matter what, it is wrong to use people to test salt poison. I can't accept it."

"Isn't it the same person in your family to test the poison?" Zelonger glanced at Bai Min.

"Xiao Min is different." Chen Xiansong sighed: "She has special abilities that you can't imagine, and can easily tell whether the substance is poisonous. In addition, her body's resistance to poison is extremely high, which is essentially different from ordinary people."

"No matter what, she is also a human being. She often tests you for poison. This is not wrong. You have to admit that this is no different from what I do." Zelonger said coldly, as if he wanted to hit Chen Xiansong's fatal point with a word.

But Chen Xiansong didn't take this trick. He could see that Zelonger was just changing his concepts. He looked a little serious again when he heard this: "I said that Xiao Min is essentially different from ordinary people. It's like letting a civilian go to the battlefield and letting a soldier go to the battlefield. Although they do the same thing, whether it is common sense or reason, the two are completely different."

"You are a soul-thinking person, I can't tell you." Zelonger kicked some salt sand with his feet and said with an indifferent expression: "I know you are a good person. Anyway, you know how to make salt. They will be free from the future. I will not use people to test salt poison again. You can rest assured."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him rode his horse to the foot of the mountain. Then, after a while, a dozen people with skin as dark as charcoal and thin as skeletons, with blood-free faces slowly walked to them. Before they got close, all of them fell to the salt ground, lowered their heads, and did not dare to take a look at the person in front of them. They knew that these people were all big men and were afraid of offending their respect.

Looking at these people, Chen Xiansong felt very sad. Even if Chen Xiansong didn't understand medical skills, he could see that if these people continued like this, they would definitely not live for two or three years. The sun was dazzling. He narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and then let go. He felt more and more that he should do something in this world, so that he felt that he would suffer in the future.

"Young Master, there are only thirteen people left now, and the other four are dead. Their bodies have been confirmed and no one has escaped." A cavalry came forward to report.

"You are useless!" Zelonger said, causing the dozen or so kneeling people to tremble: "But you are also very lucky. The Lord Chen Xiansong next to me is a soul-thinking person. He has found a way to repay your debts and kindly gives you bonuses that should not belong to you."

Zelonger signaled, and several cavalrymen threw out more than a dozen bags of copper coins on the salt ground, and then he continued, "Each person takes a bag and get out of it. Don't let me see you in the city again."

The thirteen people cried with joy. Each of them picked up a purse and ran away. They ran very quickly, for fear that Zelonger would regret it.

"Among these people, some rapists, some are habitual thieves, and some have killed people." Zelonger said calmly: "They should have been executed, but I gave them a chance to commit crimes. As long as they find the toxic yellow mud salt, I will release them. Chen Xiansong, although I can't compare to you, among the nobles, I feel that I am already very kind."

Chen Xiansong narrowed his eyes and looked at the sun for a while, and asked, "You are deliberately letting me see this, and you are deliberately guiding my emotions. Why?"

Papa! Zelonger clapped his hands and said, "I am really a soul-thinking person. I am really smart and can't hide it from you. In fact, my father asked someone to instruct me to do this last night. He meant that since we have already drunk the blood oath, it is better than a family. Our family has paid a lot for these salt mountains, and that 35% is the reward we deserve. He doesn't want you to feel that our city lord's mansion is greedy because of this, and ultimately affect our cooperative relationship."
