Chapter 192 You misunderstood. "That's it, my lord!" Facing the representative who had been given privileges by the emperor who came from Kyoto, Shuigen was still a little restrained, especially after seeing the emperor's handwritten note handed over by Ke Han with his own eyes.
He was even more frightened. He was afraid that Ke Han would misunderstand his distrust and became nervous. He sat lightly in the chair, smacked his lips, and explained unnaturally, "Some time ago, a Taoist priest and his disciples wandered here.
They went to see the iron mine and said it was the iron mine..."
"What's the matter?" Dongfang Xiao was a little displeased and shouted in a low voice, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't hesitate, it will make people uncomfortable!"
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Ke Han smiled at Dongfang Xiao, and at the same time pressed his right hand down to indicate that he would stop talking. In order to close the distance between himself and Shui Gen, so that he could get closer, he said nonsensically: "Shui Gen?
Haha, this name looks so familiar, have we seen it somewhere?"
Shui Gen calmed down and felt that he was much closer to this adult, and then he smiled and said: "Oh, maybe it's the same name? There are quite a few people with the same name in our place! I heard from my mother that I was born on a boat, and my parents are fishermen.
, they didn’t want me to live a wandering life like them, so they gave me this nickname, which means that I was born on the water, but I have to put down roots firmly, saying that it is for the sake of making a living. Haha, even though it is earthy.
A little bit, but because it was given by my parents, it is kind to me."
"That's right!" Ke Han nodded and said, "How long have you not seen your parents? How are they doing? As for those of us who are juniors, these are probably the ones we owe the most to."
"Both of them are no longer alive." The corners of Shui Gen's eyes were moist. He lowered his head and pondered, paused, and said, "During a sudden storm, the strong wind capsized the boat. I remember it very clearly. In fact, they could escape.
Yes! Because both my parents are very good at water. However, because I was naughty, my feet got entangled in the trawl net and I couldn't escape. They tried desperately to save me, but they tore the trawl net off my feet and lifted me up.
While holding a sampan, I was entangled tighter and tighter, and both of them sank to the bottom of the lake... When I woke up, I realized that I had been rescued by the Dashun Navy Master. From then on, I did not dare to board the boat and play in the water again.
"
Ke Han was stunned. He stood up, walked to Shuigen, patted his shoulder, and said: "I'm sorry, I reminded you of the painful memories of the past. However, such a thing, after hundreds of years, is
It will definitely not happen, because by then, people can predict weather changes and prevent disasters in advance.”
Dongfang Xiao and the others were all dizzy after hearing this. They didn't know what Ke Han meant. They just nodded and thought the same thing: like Mr. Shi, a high-ranking official with privileges granted by the emperor, every word he said was the truth.
As long as you obey, even if it is blindly, there is nothing wrong with it!
For a while, the atmosphere was a bit solemn, everyone was sitting or standing with their own thoughts.
Ke Han changed the topic and said deeply: "So, scientific research is very important. If we want to develop and make progress, we cannot do without advanced productivity as the backing. For example, if we mine iron ore and obtain the resources for steelmaking, we can create
With more and bigger boats and machines, by then, our boats will be able to run without manual oars, and our cars will not need horses to pull them, and they will be faster and safer!”
Ke Han's words made everyone's eyes brighten up, as if they could soar into the clouds.
Old Tao was the first to calm down. He assumed that this son-in-law had a very rich imagination. He just wanted to go to the abandoned iron mine to see the abandoned iron mine. He couldn't bear to spare such a big bend.
Zhu interjected: "Shuigen, what's going on with that iron mine now? Your Majesty, you want to go take a look."
"To get to the hilltop opposite, we have to cross a river. I mean, when I see the boat now..." Shui Gen couldn't speak, holding his head in his hands.
It seemed that this guy had been hit too hard. Ke Han looked like he was waking up and said with a generous smile: "It's okay. You must not be familiar with that place. We can just go there by ourselves! However, what you just said hesitantly said
iron ore……"
"Haunted!" Shui Gen said still nervously, "Master Huairou said that he has been here..."
"A dignified border guard, but he is also afraid of ghosts? Haha! It's really incredible." Ke Han was surprised and said jokingly
"Because it was said by a master who has cultivated immortality, I am convinced!" Shui Gen replied seriously, "Moreover, Master Huairou also showed me those headless zombies, which really scared me."
Ke Han understood that it was the illusion used by Master Huairou to confuse Shui Gen and the others. The purpose was probably to prevent too many people from disturbing his life of cultivating immortals. However, he wanted to tell me that there was iron ore with a high content here.
It is to help him. He wants me to develop this land!
Thinking of this, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Master Huairou? You said Master Huairou has been here? Do you know where he is now?"
At that time, when Dongfang Xiao told Ke Han that there was a ready-made iron mine here, Ke Han shouted loudly, saying that Master Huairou had done great work, but no one heard him?
Indeed, at that time, everyone only noticed his cheerful look, but they never expected that Ke Han and Master Huairou had already known each other.
Seeing Ke Han's surprised expression, everyone was also surprised. Could it be that Master Shi and Master Huairou are also close friends?
Everyone is thinking about the same question: Is Master Shi too powerful? He has so many titles. He is the emperor's guest, a representative of privileges, and he is also familiar with celebrities from all walks of life. Now, even the Taoist priest who cultivates immortality, he is...
, eh, I can’t even describe it. How come he has a share in every good thing?
Shui Gen said: "Master Huairou is so bold that he and his disciples live on that mountain. They say they want to practice some magic pill? They come and go by rafting on a bamboo raft. Oh, and the supplies are all from us.
He also confidently told us that one of his friends would pay for the supplies when he came, but we didn’t take it seriously. Isn’t it just a few more people to eat? What’s more?
, there is a controversial hill over there, and it would be a good thing to have a few gods guarding it! Let’s see what Xinu Tatar will do?”
Ke Han was a little dissatisfied with Shui Gen's idea, but he still smiled and said meaningfully: "Don't think it's because the place is not big and it is a desolate island, but it is an abandoned treasure land! Brother
"
For a moment, everyone was stunned, staring at Shui Gen, and echoed Ke Han, saying in unison: "Well, it's a treasure land!"
Just as Dongfang Xiao was about to speak, someone from the Huotou Army came and reported Shui Gendao: "Sir, the banquet has been arranged. Please give me your instructions..."
Shuigen stood up and said to the little official: "From today on, all requests for instructions must be reported to this Lord Dongfang. He is the commander-in-chief of our city defense in the Western Regions, Jiedu Envoy, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Huo Toujun replied respectfully, and then he kowtowed to Dongfang Xiao and repeated: "My lord, the banquet has been arranged. Please give me your instructions..."
"Okay, let's start eating!" Dongfang Xiao waved his hand, and the Huotou Army got the order and hurried off.
…
The group of people finished dinner, chatted for a while, and then got ready to rest. Shui Gen had already arranged the dormitory.
"It's getting late, so I won't disturb everyone's rest. Good night! Mr. Shi! Good night! Madam! Good night! Senior Tao!" Shui Gen said these kind words to everyone and left.
Ke Han was a little embarrassed because, like Dongfang Xiao, he had a husband and wife dormitory and was arranged to live in a room with Yan Zi. This feeling was really abrupt.
Facing the laughing Dongfang Xiao, I only blame myself for not being able to explain clearly to all of them.
Ke Han grabbed Dongfang Xiao, shrugged helplessly, and sighed softly: "Hey, living in the same place with a yellow-flowered girl, what does that mean?"
Dongfang Xiao was laughing and joking, acting as if he was slightly drunk. He pretended not to hear Ke Han's words and pretended not to know. He just helped his wife Tang Ni and left.
Although Yan Zi admired Ke Han, she only had a crush on him. At this moment, she was quite embarrassed. Fortunately, Lao Tao's single dormitory was not far ahead. Yan Zi thought to herself: How about discussing it with him?
one time?
Although Ke Han was a little tired, when he learned that Master Huairou was under the abandoned mine, he was still a little excited and lost all sleep.
He turned around to face Yan Zi, who was also very embarrassed, and said, "You rest, I'll go see Senior Tao."
Yan Zi readily agreed, and she sent Ke Han to the door. Then, she turned around, tied the door tightly, fell on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
…
"Who?" Tao Dayin, who had just laid down when he heard the knock on the door, asked alertly.
"It's me, Shi Ziheng." Ke Han walked around several sentry posts and came to Lao Tao's door. He knocked on the door rhythmically, waiting for Lao Tao to open the door.
Seeing that it was Ke Han, Lao Tao was a little surprised, yawned and asked: "Master Shi? Why haven't you rested yet? After this day, you are so tired!"
"How can I sleep?" Ke Han found a stool and sat down on his own, "I can't sleep!"
"But I'm sleepy, sir!" Tao Dayin was a little dissatisfied. Although it was a bit funny to call his son-in-law like this, he wanted to express his attitude. This moment is rest time, and no one should encroach on personal free time.
"However, I was assigned to your daughter who shouldn't be with me!" Ke Han explained to Tao Dayin apologetically.
"What?!" Lao Tao was shocked. He stared at Ke Han with wide eyes and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything, I mean, I can't stay with Yan Zi, do you understand?" Ke Han spread his hands and explained.
"No! I don't understand. I'm confused, very confused!" Lao Tao was really confused. He looked at the rich man in front of him and asked angrily, "Did the two of them quarrel or something?"
"Old man!" Ke Han paused and said, "You may have misunderstood Yan Zi and I. I wanted to explain it before, but there was no chance. We are not the kind of relationship you imagined. We are just friends, ordinary friends.
!”
"Friend?" Lao Tao was surprised and opened his mouth wide. It took him a long time to ask two words.
"Yes, they are just ordinary friends," Ke Han said
Lao Tao stared at Ke Han with blank eyes, completely speechless and embarrassed by his gaffe.
"I just helped Mr. Dongfang Xiao find Miss Yan Zi, the daughter of Marquis of Dingxi that he has been looking for. None of us knew it would be like this. Yan Zi is a strong girl. If it weren't for me having a family, maybe I would really
Yes..." Ke Han laughed dryly. In front of Lao Tao, he should appear more upright and decent, and continued, "Maybe just maybe!"
