Patriarch Xuanqing was not surprised that she had such suspicion, because he was the same.
"It's very possible, but it doesn't rule out that it's just a method of Prince Feng."
Six words suddenly popped into Qi Bao'er's mind: Captivity-style control method?
Suddenly I felt embarrassed, and I quickly shook my head and threw away these six words.
Regardless of the possibility, they had eaten and drank enough by now and it was time to get up and move around.
The two of them communicated in tacit understanding without using words, and each floated in different directions.
About two hours later, they floated back to their original positions. One held a steaming cauldron in his hand, and the other took out a pile of fruit snacks, laid out a blanket and sat down again.
"Uncle Master, you are too ruthless. You also stole the large paintings. Is this the butcher's dish?" It is very similar to the rural delicacy butcher's dish, but with many more good things added. It should be eaten by people with status.
cauldron dish.
Sure enough, Patriarch Xuanqing glared at her angrily, "What a pig-killing dish? This is called dragon and phoenix fight. It is a famous dish in the Suzaku country. It is only served when wealthy people hold banquets."
He put a large bowl in front of Qi Bao'er, and Qi Bao'er raised his hand to touch it smoothly, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Not to mention, the so-called Dragon and Phoenix Dou is not very good in appearance, but the taste is really good. It is a combination of meat and vegetables, sour and sweet, sweet and spicy, which is very refreshing.
I have done a lot of things in the past two hours, and I have not stopped at all. Qi Bao'er is really hungry, and ancestor Xuanqing is also really greedy.
There was no sound for a moment, and both the grandfather and grandson were focused on the delicious food.
It wasn't until the cauldron was halfway down that the two of them calmed down from the strong wind and started chewing and chatting slowly.
Ancestor Xuanqing: "I found two places where one person, alive and dead, was hiding, but the number of people was not large, and the two places combined were less than 10,000. One is in the mountains, and the other is in Liancheng. Hidden in Liancheng
Underground in the backyard of a wealthy businessman named Feng."
His big pot of dragon and phoenix fight was 'borrowed' from the Feng family.
"A daughter of the Feng family has been promised as a concubine to one of King Feng's subordinates. Today, when I go to Beijing, their family is having a banquet."
Qi Baoer paused with the chopsticks in his hand, a little confused, "Uncle, did you hear that right? It should be my wife, right?"
Regardless of whether a woman from the Suzaku Kingdom is the emperor, the life of ordinary women at the grassroots level in the Suzaku Kingdom is more difficult than that of the other four countries. Their status is called a low one...
In the past, when she was in Qilin Country, she often heard people say that the women of Suzaku Country lived more freely and so on, but she could only say that without seeing it with her own eyes, everything was false.
From what she saw and heard along the way after entering the Suzaku Kingdom, she realized that the lower-class women in the Suzaku Kingdom had all the three obediences and four virtues, foot binding, and chastity arches.
A woman's status is low, and by extension, if she willingly becomes a concubine, her status will naturally be even lower.
Usually a small sedan was carried into the house. The mother-in-law's family was just ashamed that someone in the family was actually a concubine, so she closed the door early to thank the guests, and there was no mention of returning.
Ah Piao, the ancestor of the Xuanqing family who also came here together, naturally knew this, so the look on his face was quite intriguing, "The house that the granddaughter of the Feng family is going to enter is the Ye family in the capital."
The Qilin Kingdom has generals, and the Suzaku Kingdom naturally also has generals. The Ye family in the capital, but the most famous generals in the Suzaku Kingdom, has four generals.
It's just that the Ye family openly sided with King Feng soon after he came to Beijing, and now they are also a big help to King Feng.
For a merchant's daughter to become such a concubine of the Ye family, no wonder she is not ashamed but proud.
"Tsk, tsk." Qi Bao'er expressed his regret. He stopped paying attention to this and talked about his discovery, "I found a good place here. There is an army of nearly 100,000 people, one alive and one dead, hidden there."
As she spoke, Qi Baoer took out the map at the same time. She spread the map flat on the ground with a shake of her hand. After searching for a while, she pointed out a place and said to Patriarch Xuanqing: "It's at the bottom of this canyon, looking down from the cliff.
, you can only see the rushing river below, but in fact there is a small cave halfway down, and there is a secret passage all the way down from the cave, where an army of living and dead people are hiding."
Now that Little Bao'er had discovered it, Patriarch Xuanqing didn't bother to ask about the whereabouts of those who were alive and dead, let alone asked whether those who were alive and dead were still there.
After carefully looking at the map and confirming that there was no natural formation in the place where the living and dead were hiding, he followed Qi Bao'er's finger and turned his gaze to the other location she was pointing to.
"This was originally a silver mine, but the amount of silver produced by this mine was low. It was abandoned by the Suzaku court after being mined for less than two years. Later, King Feng used waste and used it again. Now the mountain here has been basically hollowed out. They are here
Weapons are made here."
Qi Bao'er was lucky. They just happened to make a batch of weapons and they were going to deliver them in the next few days. They were very polite and packed all the weapons neatly and neatly, just like that.
All the cars were clearly loaded and placed outside the cave.
You said that people are so polite, it would be a shame if they didn’t take it away, right?
When it comes to weapons, we have to talk about iron, and when it comes to iron, Qi Baoer feels that King Feng will probably be moved to the point of vomiting blood this time.
There are many mines in the Suzaku Kingdom, but they are mainly gold, silver and copper. There are also iron mines but not many. There are exactly five large and small iron mines in the entire Suzaku Kingdom.
And these five iron mines are all in the hands of the imperial court, that is, they are all in the hands of the Suzaku Emperor.
On this point alone, the Phoenix King is inferior to the Suzaku King.
It is great to be able to hold gold and silver mines in your hands, but when it comes to holding power, it is never as important as holding weapons in your hands.
As for an army with one person alive and one dead, its destructive power is really too great. Just like a nuclear zero bomb, it hurts people and hurts itself at the same time. Unless both sides have reached a point where they want to kill everyone and no one is alive, otherwise for the time being, no matter what
Whether it's the Suzaku King or the Phoenix King, Qi Bao'er believes that they won't use it to the death of anyone.
It also gave her time to destroy those 'nuclear bombs'.
When Patriarch Xuanqing heard that it was a place where weapons were made privately, he immediately became curious, "Where did King Feng get the iron?"
Qi Baoer could answer this question, "I saw from a steward there that King Feng bought the pig iron from Zhou Changguo."
Zhou Changguo is famous for its iron mines and the casting of magical weapons.
Ancestor Xuanqing almost lost his grip on the chopsticks, "Who are you talking about?"
"Zhou Chang." Qi Baoer's tone increased slightly to show that he heard correctly.
It is the small country of Zhou Chang adjacent to Qilin Kingdom.
There are ports on both sides. Direct sea transportation takes nearly a year by land, but less than a month by sea.
"The reason why King Feng took over Sucheng's port was to prepare for the transportation of pig iron."
Qi Baoer said nothing, but in his heart he agreed with Patriarch Xuanqing's guess.
Talking about Phoenix King Hagua, now, how can it be really easy for someone who has been fighting against the Suzaku Emperor, one of the five great kingdoms, for so long?
I guess, maybe, maybe, my mind just wanders off for a while.
