Chapter 407: Different Principles, Different Aspirations

Finally I can have a good meal.

Holding a large bowl of thick rice porridge, with seven or eight plates of greasy dishes placed on the table in front of him, Xuan Ji Zhang wolfed down the porridge, almost crying with happiness.

"It smells so good, woooo, it really smells so good."

"This is the life people should live!"

Cheng Qingyan was not as useless as him. Even though he hadn't eaten such a meal for a long time, his movements while eating were still elegant.

He drank the porridge in the bowl slowly, mouthful by mouthful.

From time to time, he would pick up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chew it slowly.

In order to avoid wasting food, the group ate around a large round table.

Qi Xu happened to be sitting opposite him. When he raised his eyes, his gaze accidentally fell on him. He stayed there for a moment and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that even Qi Zhen, who loved to pretend, didn't look as elegant and unique as the man in front of him when he was eating.

It's a miracle that this man didn't starve to death in the Ghost Prison.

Yun Fu was right. There were indeed all kinds of people in this Ghostly Prison.

——

After the meal, everyone drank the new tea they had exchanged from the trading point.

There is a rare sense of comfort.

"Seventh Master, how long do you plan to stay in the seventh-class area this time? What is your next plan?" Cheng Qingyan moved his gaze away from the teacup in his hand and looked not far away.

Yun Fu didn't hide anything from him. She put down the teacup in her hand and said slowly, "The next step is to take over the Sixth Degree District. Send someone to interrogate those minions who have surrendered from Naihe Hall and find out the current situation of the Sixth Degree District first."

Based on the situation in the sixth-class area, she will make a plan to avoid innocent casualties.

Cheng Qingyan was not very surprised that she came to take the sixth-level area.

He had already seen through the little girl's ambition.

I know she won't stay in the seventh-class area obediently.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do this right away."

Yun Fu paused for a moment, then continued, "There's one more thing that can be put on the agenda."

"What is it?"

"It's the iron smelting I mentioned earlier. The iron ore in the mining area of ​​the Seventh District is so abundant, but it is time-consuming and laborious to transport it out all the time. The Cui family can't consume so much iron ore."

The key point is that she looks down on the iron-smelting technology currently available in the five countries and the iron produced by them.

If heavy industries such as iron smelting can be developed in the seventh-level district, the entire seventh-level district will have greater development.

Therefore, Yunfu planned to build an iron smelting plant in the seventh-class district.

If you take too big a step, you may easily fall.

The scale doesn't need to be too large at the beginning. Once it develops smoothly, you can gradually expand it.

Cheng Qingyan glanced at her and asked, "Iron smelting?"

This little girl is extremely brave and dares to do anything.

"In the Five Nations, random iron ore mining is already dangerous. If you smelt iron privately, I'm afraid it will cause some misunderstandings."

"What misunderstanding?" Yun Fu raised her eyelids.

Cheng Qingyan looked down, seemingly lost in a brief memory, but quickly pulled himself out of it: "Iron can be used to make weapons."

He spoke subtly, and Yunfu understood it.

"Oh, then it's not a misunderstanding. I do plan to forge a batch of weapons myself."

Everyone present here is one of her own, and Yun Fu has no intention of hiding her thoughts from them.

After all, when the time comes to forge weapons, Cheng Qingyan is not blind and he can see it himself.

Cheng Qingyan's expression suddenly froze. "You know, if you forge weapons without permission, you will be convicted of rebellion. It won't be as simple as exile."

Yun Fu disagreed: "So what? Even if I don't smelt iron, don't forge weapons, and hide away, do you think I can live a peaceful life?"

Not to mention the dog emperor far away in Shengjing, the third prince and the fifth prince.

Also nearby are the Xie family and the Wangchuan Sect, who hate them to the core.

Many people want to kill them.

Yun Fu will not sit idly by and wait for death.

Cheng Qingyan looked at her with a somewhat wandering look in his eyes. It was obvious that he was lost in some painful memories again.

After a while, he finally responded, "You're right. Sometimes, it's hard to live a peaceful and stable life."

Yun Fu glanced at him and said, "We have different ideals and cannot work together. You can withdraw now."

Everyone has his or her own way of living, and Yunfu gave him the opportunity to choose how to live.

Cheng Qingyan suddenly fell silent. Did he really want to quit?

But in the past year, he felt like he had started a new life. He didn't want to go back to the past and live a muddle-headed life.

Since he can choose his future life, he should make a good choice!

However, before making a choice, he wanted to clarify some things.

"I don't know what the princess's Tao is."

"My way is very simple. I want everyone to live a good life, not just to survive."

Cheng Qingyan thought he would hear her say something quite ambitious, such as unifying the Ghost Prison, or even greater ambitions.

But no, she just said a simple sentence, but it was enough to shock Cheng Qingyan's heart.

"Tell me how to make iron and what you need me to lead."

Cheng Qingyan's words showed that he had made his choice.

Yun Fu asked him to give her two days as she needed to draw up a plan for building an ironworks.

"When the time comes, you'll know what to do."

——

In addition to the ironworks, Yun Fu and the others had another thing to do, which was to find Wei Lin and several other soldiers of the Qi family army to ask them about Qi Yuanzhou and Qi Linzhou.

Wei Lin and several other soldiers who had close relations with Qi Yuanzhou and Qi Linzhou in the Qi family army were invited over.

They didn't know why Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou called them over.

But everyone was very happy because these disabled people still had a place to use their skills.

"The General and the Princess have asked us to come here. Is there anything we can do? Please feel free to tell us what you want."

"It's nothing important. I just remembered some things that happened on the battlefield and wanted to find you to catch up."

Qi Hanzhou's voice was calm, in a chatty tone.

Yun Fu didn't say anything, but just listened quietly.

The two agreed to let Qi Hanzhou chat with them briefly first.

So as to avoid getting straight to the point and arousing suspicion.

As for the matter between Qi Yuanzhou and Qi Linzhou, it seems that the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Wei Lin and others didn't think much about it, they just thought Qi Hanzhou really wanted to reminisce about the past.

Soon they were all immersed in memories and started chatting happily.

As we chatted, it turned into a storytelling session about the heroic deeds of a certain general who was a god of war.

Yun Fu didn't expect that these soldiers were so good at flattering.

Qi Hanzhou finally managed to bring the topic back to his two brothers.
