When the two of them came to the market, it was obvious that the market was much more brilliant now than it was at the beginning.

is also because Li Yutang's matter was exposed, so the merchants who come and go don't have to pay too much tolls.

Now that tolls have been reduced, it is only natural that people have more money to buy other things in the market.

"What are you bringing me here for?" Nalan said.

"This is it. Li Hugo stood at the door of a warehouse, and at this time, Jun Xue came out of it, and Jun Xue said happily: "Young master, madam, this way!"

"Cher, why are you here?" Nalan Meng was surprised.

Li Hugo smiled: "So I told you, don't thank me, otherwise you will thank me once a day in the future, and I will prepare a big gift for you now!"

"It's really fragrant, what does it smell like?" Nalan Meng came to the warehouse with Li Hugo, and found that there were many wooden barrels here, and at the same time, Shi Dacheng was also among them.

When Shi Dacheng saw Li Hugo, he came up enthusiastically: "Brother Hugo, take a look...... Doesn't that taste right?"

As he spoke, Shi Dacheng handed Li Hugo a clay pot.

Li Hugo sniffed it and handed it to Nalan Meng, who exclaimed, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?"

"This is a fragrance that I have newly researched. Li Hugo said, in fact, it is to mix the flower water with some spiritual herbs in this world, so this perfume can have the effect of calming the mind, repelling mosquitoes and calming the nerves, and the fragrance is tangy.

"Perfume?" was the one you gave me last time?" Nalan Meng was pleasantly surprised, because the perfume tasted so good at the time that she was reluctant to use it.

Shi Dacheng stepped forward and said: "Speaking of which, I also have to admire the wisdom of the captain, who mixed all kinds of spiritual herbs together, and sent me to the capital a few days ago, this perfume is in a glass bottle, so it is very popular, especially those noble ladies in the capital, who are rushing to buy it one by one." ”

"How much does this bottle of perfume and a glass bottle cost?" asked Nalan Meng.

Li Hugo held out a finger.

Nalan Meng exclaimed, "One ...... One hundred taels?!"

"No, it's one thousand taels, counting the transportation fee, it's about three thousand taels of silver, now it's peaceful today, there are many rich people, and the rich are the most willing to spend money, especially those pampered young grandmothers, old ladies, they don't have to make their own money, so my perfume workshop was founded for this, what is the biggest advantage of our Nalan City?" Li Hugo asked.

Nalan Meng muttered, "Traffic?"

"Yes, it extends in all directions, connecting the capital inside and other countries outside, and such a place is the most suitable for trade. Li Hugo said.

"What is trade?" said Nalan Meng, curious about the new word.

At this time, Shi Dacheng volunteered and said: "Trade is trade, and it is a large-scale transaction, not just a city now, but for the whole world!"

Nalan Meng gasped: "This is also ......"

"I'm surprised, isn't it? As long as we master the recipe of this perfume and the casting process of the glass, then our business is basically profitable, and the continuous output can make Nalan City's income and expenditure even exceed the expenditure...... "Li Hugo said, he said his idea, intending to build the entire Nalan City into a commercial center.

Nalan Meng listened with great interest, and she said, "What is this perfume called?"

"Nalan Xiang. Li Hugo said without hesitation.

Hearing this, Nalan Meng's heart trembled, and she was about to speak, when a poison guard had quietly appeared at the door.

Li Hugo walked over: "The three poisonous brothers, I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems that there is something on your mind?"

"Lord Captain, Lord Poison Emperor asked me to give you this letter, he plans to leave Nalan City first. The poison guard said.

Nalan Meng walked over, and she said, "Since Lord Poison Emperor plans to leave, then I have to prepare a farewell banquet for him, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"This old poison doesn't like so much red tape, he is a cheerful person, and he will naturally choose to leave after paying off the favor this time, of course...... His sister is here, and it is only a matter of time before he comes back to visit. Li Hugo saw a box pressed on the letter, and he was surprised: "This box is ......"

"This is the Poison Emperor's farewell gift to the Captain. With that, the poison guard clenched his fists and left.

Li Hugo opened the box and found that it was a fire crystal the size of a ping-pong ball, and he immediately realized what was wrong and opened the envelope to find out.

It turned out that since Li Hugo brought back the fire crystal, the poison emperor was wondering if there was a fire crystal mine in this place, because the fire crystal could not come out one or two pieces at once, and it would be a vein if it came out.

And the Poison Emperor prepared a map, which was an abandoned quarry not far away, and in this quarry, some fragmentary fire crystals were found, which were not large, but they were also valuable.

"Madahar had said before that his fire crystals were taken from a group of merchants, and they were foreign merchants. Li Hugo said.

Nalan Meng said: "You mean, those merchants have discovered that there are fire crystals near our Nalan City?"

"Yes, those should be some people who surveyed the geography, but when we went back, they were all killed by Madaha, so we don't have to worry about the news leaking, but before that, we have to go to the quarry in Erlitun. Li Hugo said.

"Well, let's both go at the same time. Nalan dreamed.

As soon as the two of them decided, they immediately went to the Erlitun Quarry, and sure enough, it was all in ruins.

"The stone here is of good quality, and it was originally mined as material for the construction of the city wall. Nalan Meng said.

Li Hugo jumped off the horse, picked up a stone and said: "Well, they are all good quality stones, then I don't understand, why do you have to let people go to Spirit Snake Mountain to mine stones? If you mine here, the road is close, and the quality is not bad." ”

"This ......," Nalan Meng frowned, "because there was a demon beast with a burning body here, and this demon beast killed countless people at that time, so everyone was afraid, and no one wanted to risk it again." ”

"A fiery monster?"

"Hugo, look. Nalan Meng came to the aisle of a hallway, and she pointed to the black on the wall and said, "This is a burn mark. ”

Li Hugo looked over and found that these traces all came from a collapsed tunnel, and I am afraid that the secret of this fire crystal is in this tunnel.

"Hugo, you know that Ma Daha and Chen Laogen's men have been contaminated with a lot of lives, why did you choose to take them in?" asked Nalan Meng.

As he approached the tunnel, he said, "I killed them, do you think the dead will survive?"

"No, but they can't die in vain. ”

"Yes, it is true that they cannot die in vain, but now under our management, Ma Daha and Chen Laogen are doing things that benefit the country and the people, that is, building city walls, in a sense, this is to save a lot of people in times of crisis, and the mistakes they have made are unavoidable, but now they are making atonements. Li Hugo said.

"I see. Nalan Meng said thoughtfully.

Li Hugo came to the rocks, he took a full breath, strode forward, and shouted: "Cannon fist!"

Rumble!

The cannon fist of the great martial artist level contains masculine power, and when it strikes with one punch, it is like thunder, exploding into the tunnel.

The tunnel shook, and the chaotic times that were blocked at the door were blown out one after another, and Li Hugo cleared a passage alive.

"Can you still use the cannon fist like this?" Nalan Meng said in surprise.

Li Hugo said with a smile: "There are many functions of cannon fists, in fact, the martial arts of our world can not only be used for combat convenience, such as some spells of the water system, which can lead water to the ditch to irrigate the armor, or fire spells, which can be used to cook food, and many spells can be used for other purposes." ”

He walked in, followed by Nalan Meng.

She looked at Li Hugo's background, and she didn't know why, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was very reliable.

Li Hugo picked up a wooden stick, stained it with some resin, and made it into a torch, but as soon as the two entered the tunnel, they were stunned by the tragic scene at the mouth of the tunnel.

At the mouth of the tunnel, there were dozens of corpses lying around, these people had been dead for some time, and they had died in a horrible manner, some of them even in different places.

"Look, there are paw prints. Li Hugo leaned over and pointed to a section of bone and said.
