Chapter 696 The Power of Food

Khotan is so rich that you can find exquisite jade and large pieces of agate by just walking around the valley. These things that are priceless in Kaifeng have suddenly become unworthy here.

Brother Guo Xing not only prepared a jade axe for Zhao Da, but also prepared gifts for others, especially to give Old Lady Ye a white jade Buddha. He has only completed less than 30% of the time. Fortunately, he is still some days away from the old man's 85th birthday, so he should be able to get out.

Ye Hua didn't care much about the gift. He was very satisfied with the little guy's intentions. But what surprised Ye Hua was why he gave Zhao Da a jade axe. This thing was really unusual!

Brother Guo Xing secretly told Ye Hua that the jade axe is the easiest to make. He picked up a piece of long jade, carved and polished it casually, and then made the shape of an axe.

"General Zhao is a powerful general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How suitable is it to open the mountain jade axe. One axe will defeat hundreds of disasters... Their family will ensure peace and harmony in the future!" Brother Guo Xing smiled and said, "Brother, do you think my thoughts are good?"

"Okay! Of course it's fine!"

What else can Ye Hua say? Could it be that he would tell Brother Guo Xing the story of "the sound of the axe and the bamboo shadow"!

"By the way, what about Zhao Kuangyi, why didn't I see him?"

Brother Guo Xing flattered his mouth, "It turns out that he still feels sorry for his apprentice. He is busy with work!" Brother Guo Xing led the way and found Zhao Er.

At this moment, Zhao Er was taking a bath in a hot spring in a valley.

The water vapor was filled with mist, and there were many trays beside him, including fresh fruits, various snacks, and famous dishes from the north and south... Zhao Er was like a lazy emperor, soaked in water, picked up a few raisins, threw them into his mouth, and chewed them in big mouthfuls. Then he grabbed the crystal cup and poured them two mouthfuls of wine.

Ye Hua glanced at Brother Guo Xing, is this called busy? Is it busy enjoying?

Brother Guo Xing was speechless and could only blink his eyes. Ye Hua took a big step and stood behind Zhao Er.

"You are so comfortable!"

The sound was not high, but it sounded like a thunderclap in Zhao Er's ears. He was so scared that he stood up quickly, but found that he was wearing nothing, so he hurriedly squatted down again.

"That master... why are you here?" Zhao Er's face turned red, and he tried his best to wink at Brother Guo Xing and asked him to bring his clothes over. However, Brother Guo Xing looked at the sky with his eyes squinted and ignored Zhao Er at all. He was so angry that he wanted to go over and catch this kid, press it in the hot spring, and drown him!

Ye Hua snorted and pointed at Zhao Er, "Your virtue has disappointed my teacher. Do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Er hurriedly said, "Master, the misunderstanding is definitely a misunderstanding. The disciple is asking someone."

It’s really unique to soak in the hot spring to ask people!

"Is it a woman?"

Zhao Er hurriedly shook his head, "No!"

"Is that a man?" Ye Hua said horrified. Brother Guo Xing next to him was so angry that he was so angry that Zhao Er's face turned into a pig's liver. He said aggrievedly: "Master, let's be serious, that person is neither a man nor a woman... it's Mamuliuk!"

"Mamuluk!"

Ye Hua's eyes contracted instantly and became solemn.

Seeing that his master became serious, Zhao Er quickly presented treasures and told him about his "hard work" to ask questions... Do you remember that Mu Xin, with a team of elite cavalry, tried to assassinate Zhao Er and avenge the two elders?

Mu Xin and his friends revenge, killed the villagers who gave them clear water to eat, and were crazy and went to destroy Kanerjing.

Zhao Er had long suspected that there was a traitor in Khotan. He pretended to leave the city. By chance, he found the Eagle slave who was communicating, so he rushed to Kaneri in advance to set up an ambush.

Kanerjing is a very amazing irrigation project that appeared as early as the Han Dynasty.

There is little precipitation in the Western Regions and evaporates violently. If water is directly diverted from the top of the mountain, the water has already evaporated before it flows to the place. Therefore, if you want to divert water, you must go through underground ditches.

People will first dig a vertical shaft dozens of meters deep for ventilation and transporting soil. After digging the vertical shaft, they will choose to dig a trench in the direction of the mountain. After digging a distance, they will continue to dig a vertical shaft... In this way, they will pass the water through the trench and lead it to the bottom of the mountain bit by bit.

It is easy to say but difficult to do. Without any tools, you can go deep into the ground for dozens of meters, like an ant moving, and it is difficult to move the soil to the ground! Usually there is water below, and landslides are common, especially the direction, which is even more difficult to determine. If you dig it off, all your efforts will be wasted...

Behind every Kanerjing is the blood, sweat and life of countless people!

Muxin cannot be called humans at all. They went down the shaft and tried to chisel the earthwork, scrapping the Kaner well, and putting the decades of hard work of countless people into vain!

The crazy person was taken away by someone, so Zhao Er attacked decisively, and was shot down by the people on the ground with a crossbow arrow, and then poured tinder into the well.

The guy below either was burned to death by the fire or died of suffocation because of the disappearance of oxygen.

Zhao Er counted the dead people. The people he was on the ground now had poison sacs in their mouths. They were shot by crossbow arrows and saw that they could not survive, they bit the poison sacs.

But only Mu Xin was hit by three crossbow arrows. He was not seriously injured, but he was reluctant to die, but he just fainted from bleeding.

Zhao Er wanted to cut him into pieces, but when he thought that all these guys were cleansed and didn't even care about his own lives, Zhao Er felt his scalp numb. This was a group of real madmen, and it was not easy to be an opponent with them.

"So my disciple brought him back, tortured him, and wanted to take out the information he wanted from him..."

"You succeeded?"

"No, the disciples found that they had conducted a torture drill at all. Even if the disciples used the cruelest punishment, they could not pry open his mouth."

Ye Hua said: "Mamuliuk received cruel training since he was a child. Our methods are far behind those of the slave traders and the nobles above!"

"Master is awesome." Zhao Er smiled and said, "The disciple's great punishment is useless, but the disciple found that after every torture, I will feed the prisoner some honey water ginseng soup to prevent death... This Muxin is drunk every time without a drop, especially honey, which is his favorite!"

Ye Hua smiled, "So you want to use sugar-coated shells?"

Zhao Er said proudly: "Muxina guy was cut. The woman couldn't impress him, so she could only use delicious food... Master, what do you think he likes to eat the most?"

Ye Hua's eyes rolled, "Is it a raisin?"

Zhao Er was really scared, "Master, you are so amazing! Later I heard that the elders above told them that raisins are delicious foods that only exist in heaven... Do you know? I put a whole bucket of raisins next to Muxin. He was crazy and stuffed them into his mouth. I was afraid that he would eat too much, so when he took them away, he would actually cry... He would not frown even after being tortured, but he could not eat raisins and cried!"

Zhao Er laughed wildly, "Since then, I have prepared all kinds of delicacies for him, including meat buns that are big in fists, fat braised pork, mutton hotpot, bear's paw, roast duck... The guy has completely fallen into it. He told me that this is something that cannot be eaten in heaven! He is happier than God now!"

Ye Hua shrugged, "There is nothing strange about this. Gods are a collection of beautiful ideas for people in various regions... Just like our gods have a thousand miles of eyes and ears, walking with clouds, traveling to Fusang in the evening, and reaching Kunlun in the evening... In fact, these ideas may be achieved in a few years. As for raisins, it can only be said that poverty limits their imagination!"

Zhao Er clapped excitedly, "Master is such a great argument, which makes the disciples suddenly enlightened and prostrated themselves."

"Okay, stop flattering!"

Ye Hua said: "Tell me, how much information you have taken out? The war is imminent, and we must know ourselves and our enemy."

"It's because of this matter. Master, do you know? I invited Muxin to take a hot spring and eat delicious food, but that guy actually refused."

Zhao Er said angrily: "He told me that he would arrange for beautiful women to dance for him in gauze clothes, and there was also a band of twenty people to play the music from their hometown, so he was willing to tell them together! Damn, he was just a eunuch, what did you want beautiful women?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Eunuchs are also humans, so they can live a good time... If he can't tell useful information, he will blind his eyes, cut off his nose, tongue, and poke his ears deaf. Although he is alive, he cannot taste, see, and hear, so that he will always be in the boundless hell!"

Zhao Er was really overjoyed. After all, he was still a master. This method was better than himself!

"Master, I will arrange for someone to dance and play by the hot spring. Master, do you want to stay and enjoy it together?"

Ye Hua raised his eyebrows, then kicked Zhao Er into the hot spring, grabbed Guo Xing Ge's ear, and quickly left the place of right and wrong.

Brother Guo Xing blushed and his eyes were big, staring at the direction of the hot spring, protesting: "Brother, I haven't gotten married yet, I can see it, yes!"

"Pooh!"

Ye Hua spat hard, "You kid is learning badly. Go back and do a hundred calculus questions first. For your teacher, you should see if your knowledge has improved!"

"ah!"

Brother Guo Xing wailed and the whole world was dark.

Three days later, Zhao Er was angry and came to meet Ye Hua with a thick stack of papers. At the same time, Brother Guo Xing also came over with a hundred questions, and the two brothers handed over the homework together.

"The so-called Mamulik means slaves. The Great Seal Empire sold children under six years old through slave traders from Thrace, the Black Sea coast, the Caucasus and other places. Then the nobles would choose children with good physical fitness from the slave market to castrate them, and then instill the thoughts of loyal masters and theological knowledge. When they were fourteen years old, they would be sent to a special military school for ruthless training, with an elimination rate of up to one-third. After the training, these people were the trump cards in the hands of the Great Seal nobles, and the loyal and capable of fighting Mamulik cavalry!"

After listening to Ye Hua's introduction, Chai Rong took a deep breath. He was so cruel and could even do such a thing. He was really a strong enemy!

"Report your Majesty, the Black Sweat Messenger invites His Majesty to hunt!"
