Chapter 119 The Secret in the Mountain
Baby Ruoxi is in the north of the city.
Her uncle took her away to distribute food and grass to the people.
"With food, we need fire to cook. There is a lot of firewood in the mountains." Baby Ruoxi looked into the distance.
Because she was a supreme cultivator in her previous life, baby Ruoxi was born different from others, with particularly good eyesight.
In the mountains in the distance, there was a stream of pink air.
There must be a lot of poisonous things planted there.
In this world, the more poisonous, the more colorful. Looking at those pink and purple air, there are probably quite a few poisonous things in the mountains.
"Within three days, you must go into the mountains to cut firewood in an orderly manner. Cut as much as you can. Cut useful things back to make beams and build houses, and useless things can be used to make charcoal." Eunuch Gao cleared his throat and said.
"Hey, Eunuch Gao is amazing. He knew my thoughts so quickly. It seems that my uncle is also a good emperor. He has thought of this a long time ago."
Baby Ruoxi was a little surprised at first, but then she thought about it and realized that it was right. After all, her uncle is an emperor, a very powerful emperor!
Xiao Yin couldn't help but smile. He was just waiting for Xi'er to praise him.
Although he had thought of this when he came from the south, Xi'er would be happy to use it now, because he and Xi'er had the same idea.
"What, can we go up the mountain to chop wood?"
"Is this true? Your Majesty will not lie to us, will He?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it. For the past twenty years, no one can get close to that mountain. There are piles of bones at the foot of the mountain. Who dares to get close?"
The people shook their heads. They didn't believe that they could go up the mountain.
"Why can't we go up the mountain? Are there any wolves, tigers or leopards on the mountain?" Xiao Yin asked while patting his little niece.
"Your Majesty, you don't know!" The people came closer.
The black-armored guards took a few steps forward, and the people were a little afraid. However, after getting along for half a day, the people found that this emperor was not as cruel and violent as the legend said, nor was he a bloodthirsty and cruel tyrant.
He was compassionate and caring for the people, and he was thinking about the people.
What made the people most happy was that this emperor liked children.
Look at the child he has been holding in his arms, the little princess now, and the way he loves her is so real.
Can an emperor who loves children be a bad emperor?
Who said he killed his brother and father?
Last night, everywhere in the city, and downstairs of the storyteller, the people heard another version.
"It is said that the prince traveled day and night to return to the capital to stop the brothers from killing each other, but it was too late. When he arrived in the capital, the city gates were already wide open. There were countless casualties in the city. Officers, soldiers, civilians, and the princes fell in a pool of blood, and the old emperor, holding a dagger in his hand, committed suicide on the throne!"
In this border city, there were many legends that night.
However, no one tried to stop such a rebellious storyteller.
So, now that most of the day has passed, the common people and the emperor have become friendly.
"Tell me, what's on the mountain?" In order to let the common people praise his little niece more, Xiao Yin pushed down Ruoxi's cloak again, so that everyone can see her clearly, and she can see everyone clearly.
"Your Majesty, we haven't been allowed to go to that mountain for 20 years. I heard that General Zhao rented the mountain to others to grow tobacco." "
But, we have never seen tobacco. It's just that from a distance, the mountain is really beautiful, with all those beautiful flowers!"
"Yes, it seems that it was rented to the Western Regions. I don't know why they planted so many beautiful flowers. If someone goes up, we will never come back."
Xiao Yin patted his little niece gently, looking forward to her voice.
"Oh, it's the Lichun flower that can make people hallucinate, no wonder, that flower is the favorite of the Western Regions, it exists in every era and every dynasty, but it's not a good thing!"
Xiao Yin nodded silently: Xi'er is right, it's not a good thing, it must be shoveled away.
"However, this Lichun flower is a very good anesthetic. After it is refined, it can also be used on the wounds of soldiers at the border. It's good, but who can control this thing?"
Hearing this, the emperor had some ideas in his mind, and he felt that he could do it.
"Bai Yu, take a few people to the mountain to see what good things General Zhao has planted." Xiao Yin said to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu took the order and immediately took a few black armored guards and invited two young and strong people to take them up the mountain together.
On the way here, Zhao Huiqi heard about Bai Yu's trip to the mountain, and he immediately turned his horse's head and headed down the mountain.
"It's actually Lichun Flower!"
"What on earth is such a beautiful flower cultivated for?"
"I heard that once this Lichun Flower is used as medicine, it can make people unable to leave and stop, and it can also enhance that function!"
"This thing is used in the Western Regions to refine deadly poisons!"
The two people introduced Lichun Flower to Bai Yu.
"Have you tried it?" Bai Yu asked.
"We... don't dare. Fortunately, we were not allowed to come up this mountain. Otherwise, we would be even more finished!"
The two young people immediately waved their hands. They didn't even dare to get close to the flower.
"Wanhonglou and Qingyilou both sell the Beauty Pill. These are probably what General Zhao eats often."
"By the way, Commander Bai, let me tell you, General Zhao is amazing. Sometimes I heard that he could stay up all night and still be energetic the next day. His physical fitness is simply amazing!"
Bai Yu: ...
He stretched out his hand and was about to pinch the Lichun flower.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew across the sky.
Bai Yu raised his hand to block it and knocked the sharp arrow away.
"Commander Bai, why are you up the mountain?" Zhao Huiqi got off the horse and strode up.
"His Majesty has an order, come up and take a look." Bai Yu looked around and said, "Starting tomorrow, the people will go up the mountain to cut down trees for three days. All the trees in the mountain can be used!"
"Absolutely not, Commander Bai, I rented this mountain to someone else." Zhao Huiqi said.
"The whole world belongs to the emperor, General Zhao, who allowed you to rent the mountain to someone else privately? Besides, who is this someone else?" Bai Yu asked coldly.
"Commander Bai, we seem to be equal, are you questioning me?" Zhao Huiqi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"He represents me!" Xiao Yin came over with a cold expression.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Huiqi looked stern, he turned his head and looked at the emperor, and also at the baby in the emperor's arms.
He was surprised, for so many years, he hadn't heard that this man liked children so much!
So, this child must be unusual.
The death of Prince Kang was due to the existence of this child? Is this legend true? !
