In such a long time together, Ye Cheng has become very familiar with everyone's voices, even if the five brothers of the various families who look exactly the same are standing in front of him, he can distinguish them by listening to the voices. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He tightened the leash to stop the horse, and then he jumped out of the carriage and looked up at the cliff. On a small cave three meters away from the mountain road around the mountain, Zhu Ziye stood by the entrance of the cave and looked down.

"Brother Ziye, what about the others?" Ye Cheng asked anxiously.

"It's in the cave, are the back of it all raw materials?" The way of karma.

"Yes, how are we going to transport the raw materials into the mountains," Ye Cheng asked suspiciously.

This is different from Laiyuan County, although there are many caves on the rock wall here, there are no wooden shelves, and it is difficult to transport raw materials into the caves by relying only on those rope ladders.

Zhu Ziye pointed to the front and shouted, "There is a relatively large cave in front of you, and there is a red "one" on the top of the cave, you can enter from there, and I will go there to pick you up."

"Okay" Ye Cheng returned to the carriage and continued to drive the carriage around the mountain road, his eyes looked ahead for a while and then at the rock wall on the left, not wanting to miss the cave with a word written on it.

At the foot of the mountain, the big boss also sat out of the curtain, and now her eyes were completely on the rock wall, helping to find the cave with the word written on it.

After turning around a little further, the sharp-eyed boss pointed ahead with his left hand and shouted, "The cave ahead"

Ye Cheng turned his head to look over, and sure enough, there was a large hole with a diameter of more than two meters in front of him, and there was a carved "one" on the hole, and the word "one" was painted with red paint.

In order to get the raw materials closer to the entrance of the cave, Ye Cheng drove the carriage and continued to walk up, walking more than ten meters before stopping.

"Let's go back" Ye Cheng jumped out of the carriage and tied the horse rope to the stump by the entrance of the cave.

Every other stretch of the mountain road around the mountain will have a tree stump inserted in the ground, which is more than a meter high, which is convenient for tying horses and wagons. In some places, there will be three or several tree stumps, so that more carriages can be tethered.

Go back to the cave where the word "one" was written just now.

At this time, Zhu Ziye had already come to the entrance of the cave, and when he saw that Ye Cheng was safe and sound, he happily ran over and hugged Ye Cheng in his arms, and said, "Eighth brother, it's okay if you're fine, but I'm worried about us to death."

"Brother Ziye, are the others okay?" Ye Cheng was also a little worried about the situation of the others.

"Everyone is fine, now everyone is seriously building explosive containers inside, and after a few days of rushing to make them, there are now thousands of them" Zhuzi Karma said.

Hearing such news, Ye Cheng couldn't be happy, his face was a little ugly, and he turned to look at this bare Dongzhong County. Before, he didn't think that there was not even a single tree in Dongzhong County, so if he knew, he would have prepared charcoal in advance and transported it over.

Charcoal is essential for refining black powder, and it can be said that it is indispensable.

But in this situation, where to find wood to burn charcoal?

"Eighth brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Ziye found that something was wrong with Ye Cheng, and looked over and asked.

Ye Cheng still looked at the outside of the mountain road around the mountain, and said with a solemn face, "Brother Ziye, although the saltpeter and sulfur were delivered, I didn't get the charcoal."

"So what should we do now?" Zhu Ziye also began to be a little worried, looking at Ye Cheng's back and asked.

Ye Cheng looked up helplessly, and as time passed away little by little, the clouds in the sky were burned red by the rays of the setting sun, forming a small piece of burning clouds. The fiery clouds shrouded the earth in a red that he knew would soon fade into darkness.

At that time, the temporary situation of the front line can also be temporarily stopped, but this is only temporary, and the huge advantage of the enemy army will not be diminished in any way.

To reduce this huge difference, Ye Cheng must get the charcoal out at night.

Ye Cheng turned around quickly and said anxiously, "Brother Ziye, you first take the soldiers to transport the sulfur and saltpeter into the cave, and then you call Bai Yingping out, and we will find a way to get charcoal."

"Are you all right? Do you want to go with me?" asked Zhu Ziye worriedly.

"Brother Ziye, you better stay and help make containers, I will bring more than two hundred soldiers there, there will be no problem" Ye Cheng explained.

Then the soldiers began to unload the baskets from the thirty wagons, which weighed a hundred pounds without the help of wooden racks, and which were so heavy that it took four or five men to get them off. Two men caught him under the carriage and walked into the cave.

In this way, thirty wagons and ninety baskets began to be transported to the cave in an orderly manner, and Zhu Ziye led the soldiers to disappear into the depths of the cave.

Ye Chenglai is not in a hurry to go in to see the situation inside, the most important thing now is to get the charcoal back. While waiting for Bai Yingping, he walked to the outside of the mountain road around the mountain and looked down the mountain.

There are no trees on the mountain, and the view is very vast, and everything on the earth is in full view.

He searched carefully to see where the woods were dense and where he could get charcoal. Now there are no ready-made ones available, so you have to cut down trees to burn them yourself.

The area around the hill is very flat, pale green, and there is no wood to burn charcoal. But on the far left side of the official road, there is a dark green forest, where the trees are tall and leafy, like a mushroom protruding from the green flat.

"It seems that only there can be charcoal," Ye Cheng said secretly in his heart.

After a period of time, the last four or five baskets were also carried into the cave one after another, and at this time Bai Yingping came out of the cave, his white clothes were sticking to some black stains, and his handsome face was also a little dirty, looking like he had just finished doing coolies.

"Nothing happened on the road, did you?" Bai Yingping came to the front, and he was also very worried about whether Ye Cheng and the others would encounter danger along the way.

Ye Cheng smiled slightly, "Thanks to the two thousand soldiers led by the general, what can happen?" He turned to face the forest he had just seen, and continued, "Let's go, let's go there and see if we can get charcoal."

"The forest?" Bai Yingping also faced the forest, and his face was a little ugly.

Ye Cheng didn't see Bai Yingping's worried face, and walked directly down the mountain road, facing the white-robed soldiers who were neatly lined up on the mountain road, and said, "Soldiers, I know you are not ordered by me, but I really need two hundred soldiers to follow me to get the charcoal back, the charcoal is ......"

"The general has an order, if he is not there, let us obey your orders with full authority" The white-robed soldier in front of Ye Cheng suddenly stepped forward and replied.

The soldier's sudden move frightened Ye Cheng before he could finish his words, staring at a pair of eyes. After listening to the soldier's words, his surprised expression gradually became frightened, and he secretly said in his heart, "These soldiers are under my command?" ”
