Qin Hu

Chapter 111 Girls can also be wonderful girls!
"Didn't the officials of the counties and counties along the way offer ice storage to the father to relieve the heat?"

Zhao Zihu was slapped, he couldn't help calling out to Tianqu, and asked back.

Store ice cubes in winter and use them to cool off the heat in summer. This is something that has existed since the pre-Qin period. The emperor, who is especially keen on enjoying, seems to have specially set up an official responsible for storing ice.

At the end of the Warring States period when the ceremonies collapsed and music was broken, the rich and luxurious families also had their own small ice cellars. As long as the local county officials knew a little bit, they would definitely requisition some and donate them to Yingzheng passing by on the east tour to cool off the heat.

Zhao Zihu clearly remembered that when he came to Yingzheng's imperial tent some time ago, there was still a cold 'refrigerator' next to the table.

Therefore, he made ice these days and sent it to Lao Xiangli himself, and asked Ben Boerba to send it to Han Fei, but he did not send it to Ying Zheng.

It's not that he really didn't expect Ying Zheng, but because he thought Ying Zheng had it, so he didn't give it away!
"A few days ago, I executed corrupt officials with five punishments, and even issued an edict to distribute to Kyushu, as a warning to others... Do you think the officials along the way would dare to offer Tibetan ice to me?"

Ying Zheng asked quietly.

Zhao Zihu suddenly had nothing to say.

Not all the big dogs hoard ice cubes for their own use, but also sell them for profit, which is worth more than gold.

If the officials along the east tour confiscated ice from the powerful households under the rule, it could be classified as seizing the people's wealth to a certain extent.

If it is said that you spent a lot of money to buy it and donated it to Yujiabiao for your loyalty, then Ying Zheng has to ask, where did you come from for the huge amount of money you bought to store ice.

In short, nothing is right!

Especially after Ying Zheng had just dealt with the corrupt officials and killed the chickens to make an example to the monkeys, the officials along the east tour were trembling, fearing that they would find out that they were wrong, so how dare they attack?

Naturally, one thing more is worse than one thing less!
In other words, Ying Zheng did it himself, who is to blame!
"This method is simple, I think my father has also learned it."

"Tomorrow, if the ice melts, you can pour the saltpeter water into the kettle and boil it. After the water dries up, the saltpeter powder will remain. It can be scraped off and crushed, and can be reused to make ice."

Zhao Zihu taught Yingzheng how to make ice economically, and then he got up and said, "It's late at night, father, please rest."

"Close the curtains tightly and place the ice bucket beside the couch. The cool air that radiates is enough to relieve the heat and sleep peacefully."

"My son, take your leave first!"

Yingzheng's schedule has been adjusted these days, and he is indeed a little sleepy at this time, so he waved his hands and said, "Go, my son will also rest earlier..."

"Don't be greedy for the momentary pleasure, you will have a long life in the future, and there are many beauties in the world!"

Zhao Zihu bowed his hands again: "I would like to follow the teachings of my father."

After saying that, he slowly exited the imperial tent, then stepped on his red rabbit horse, and rode away surrounded by Zhao Tuo and a group of elite followers.

Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the ice water in the wooden barrel, and said in admiration, "Everything in the world is really mysterious, isn't this magic?"

Zhao Gao answered with a smile: "If you can thoroughly study all things in the world and use them with one mind, then it will be no different from fairy arts."

Ying Zheng nodded approvingly, and turned to look at the golden pill that Zhao Zihu had thrown on the ground earlier. There was no pity in Danfeng's eyes, only fear.

Although Zhao Zihu didn't know immortal arts, he was a little disappointed, but the method of [Scientific Alchemy] was undoubtedly correct.

Alchemists have been refining alchemy for many years, and they have used a lot of saltpeter on weekdays, but they don't know that it can be used to make ice!

To put it bluntly, they really know what it is, but they don't know why it is... No, they didn't do it because they knew what it was, they didn't understand anything, and they were completely blind.

Most of them don't know whether the elixirs they refine are good or bad, beneficial or poisonous!
How dare you offer it to him!

Just damn it!
On the other hand, Zhao Zihu, using the scientific method of alchemy that he invented...whether he can practice immortal medicine for longevity, at least he should first understand the characteristics of various treasures of heaven and earth.

Then, carry out reasonable compatibility refining.

It sounds very reliable!
The saltpeter ice making in front of me is undoubtedly the best example, this is called knowing why and why!

"I issued an edict to Hou Sheng and the others, if they dare to waste my money and produce medicines indiscriminately before they have thoroughly studied the characteristics of various natural materials and earth treasures, I will never forgive them lightly."

Ying Zheng looked away from the scattered golden elixirs, and turned to ask Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao bowed his hands solemnly: "Only..."

……

……

After Zhao Zihu left the security area of ​​the imperial tent, he did not return to the camp of the clan children, but turned around and rode his horse towards the Juechen camp.

Zhao Tuo asked suspiciously, "My lord, where are we going?"

Zhao Zihu slowed down his horse a little, and said casually: "When I came to the imperial tent earlier, the Zhao Fuling once said that Sister Diaochan has lost weight recently, I have to go and see her."

"Well……"

Zhao Tuo nodded first, but then had a strange expression.

No matter how young Diao Chan is, she is still a daughter. Is it really okay for you to run away in the middle of the night and sneak into other people's tents?

It's not too late to visit tomorrow, right?
Besides, Shaojun Xiangli is still waiting for you to go back, so you just turned around and looked for Sister Diaochan without saying a word, aren't you a bit of a jerk?
Moreover, after His Majesty has gone to bed, the Zhao Fuling will be on duty. If you find out that you, a coward, sneak into his daughter's tent in the middle of the night, I am afraid that you will draw your sword and kill someone!
Zhao Zihu noticed Zhao Tuo's strange expression, and he could probably guess part or two of his thoughts, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and just walked confidently towards the Juechen camp.

Well, he has already made up his mind. If he can't go back to the tent tonight, he won't go back. Even if he wants to go back, he will delay until late at night, until Xiangliyue falls asleep.

The familiar sister is endless, it is too tortured!

Zhao Zihu dawdled, and for a short distance, he was still riding a horse. After walking for less than half an hour, he finally arrived at Juechen's camp.

Diao Chan's tent is next to her father's, Zhao Gao's, and there are generals on duty outside.

Zhao Zihu was far away, so he got off his horse first, and asked Zhao Tuo to lead his red rabbit horse, together with the elite followers, to hide in the nearby tents first, so as not to be discovered by Zhao Gao who came back.

He himself tightened the leather belts on various parts of the armor, bent down the dangling feathers on his head, and bit them in his mouth. After making sure that there would be no noise, he walked around those Zhao Gao retainers who were on duty. , Touching the back of Xiao Diaochan's felt tent.

Well, there are Zhao Gao's retainers guarding behind the yurt!
However, Zhao Zihu was not surprised, he was very experienced.

In the past, Diao Chan was grounded by Zhao Gao because of his mistakes, or kept at home as a student by Zhao Gao. He often sneaked out of the palace to find Diao Chan.

slap-

Zhao Zihu casually picked up a piece of dirt from the ground, and threw it to the far side in the opposite direction to make noise.

Zhao Gao's retainer who was on duty behind the yurt immediately became vigilant when he heard it, and squinted his eyes to take advantage of the moonlight to look at the place where the sound came from.

He didn't see anything unusual, and gradually relaxed again.

pat-

Zhao Zihu threw a piece of dirt again, making a noise.

Zhao Gao's retainer frowned, but he didn't dare to be negligent, he put his hand on the hilt of his waist, and walked quickly to the place where the sound came from to check.

Zhao Zihu seized the opportunity, quickly walked to the felt tent, bent over to open a seam in the floor, and quickly got in.

However, what Zhao Zihu didn't know was that just as he got in, the retainer of Zhao Gao, who seemed to have been lured away, suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked back with a strange expression, and Zhao Zihu opened the crack of the tent.

"The same trick has been used for many years, and I don't know how to change it. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

……

……

Diao Chan's tent is not big, only a set of mats and a mat.

The little girl was sleeping soundly on the couch, but maybe because of the hot weather, she didn't have anything to cover her body, so she wore a pocket around her stomach to prevent her from getting cold.

call--

Zhao Zihu could probably see some things clearly in the dark, he bent the feather in his mouth, unconsciously released it, and suddenly stood straight on his head again.

A familiar sister is as good as a familiar sister.

Girls also have their own beauty.

all good!
it is good!
Zhao Zihu took a deep breath, shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, stepped forward and poked the sleeping little Diaochan, and said softly: "Sister... Sister Diaochan...wake up, I'm here to see you..."

"Hate~!"

Diao Chan opened Zhao Zihu's strange hand with a flick of her hand, muttered, turned over, and fell asleep again without opening her eyes.

Zhao Zihu smiled, and directly pinched the little girl's nose.

"Well……"

This trick worked, and after a while, Diao Chan woke up with a muffled grunt, opened her lips to breathe, and opened her eyes to check in a daze.

"It's for brother, don't make a sound."

Afraid of her screaming, Zhao Zihu let go of her Qiong nose first, then covered her small cherry mouth, and made a sound to reveal his identity.

Diao Chan was terrified for a moment, but after hearing clearly that it was Zhao Zihu's voice, she became quiet again in an instant, opened his big hand, and lowered her voice in surprise, "Brother Zihu?"

"alright."

Zhao Zihu agreed, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have lost weight in the past few days, come to see you... Cough, come here, let Brother Wei touch your belly, is it true that you have lost weight?"

Diao Chan had probably gotten used to the darkness in the tent at this time, seeing Zhao Zihu's wretched face, she couldn't help being speechless and ashamed, she kicked his face on his face, and pushed his head away: "I'm Don't worry about it, why don't you just go crazy with that Xiangliyue."

This little girl is jealous.

Zhao Zihu took off the little foot that was kicking on his face, held it in his hand and said, "Sister, what you said is wrong, Xiaoyue'er is Xiaoyue'er, you are you, there is no conflict, and there should be no confusion."

"I care about you. What's the matter with her? What's the relationship between us, isn't it?"

Shameless or he is shameless.

Diao Chan twitched her cherry lips and said without showing any face: "You are afraid that you can't stand Xiangliyue's obsession, so you came to my place to hide and relax?"

Zhao Zihu was taken aback when he heard the words, hesitantly said: "Where did you hear these things? How can you understand the way?"

Although women in the pre-Qin period married early and had children early, but how old is the little girl, it seems a bit too early. You must understand that it is normal when you are at Fat Qinger's age.

"I have a personal servant. She said that you men are the most useless. After being stalked by a woman for a few days, you will be scared and run away."

Diao Chan wrinkled her nose and said gloatingly.

Zhao Zihu suddenly realized that it was probably because the little girl was not happy these days, and the servant woman saw the clue, so she said these words to comfort her.

"Since you know that you are suffering for me, why don't you go and save me?"

Zhao Zihu sternly slapped him, and questioned him.

Diao Chan snorted resentfully: "You deserve it..."

Zhao Zihu stared at Danfeng, and started scratching the soles of his little feet with his backhand.

Diao Chan was the most ticklish, once he scratched the soles of his feet, he couldn't take it any longer.

However, the retainers and servants were all outside, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud, she could only bite the back of her hand, like a live fish landed, flopping about on the mat, trying to retract her little feet.

"Do you deserve to be a brother?"

After Zhao Zihu scratched for a while, he stopped and asked.

Diao Chan was about to burst into tears, and immediately shook her head frantically when she heard the words, and confessed: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, brother Zihu suffered, I feel so sorry..."

Zhao Zihu let go of her little feet, and said angrily, "Stop talking weird! I don't think you're thin, isn't that good?"

Diao Chan pouted after hearing the words: "How do you know you're not thin?"

"Then let me touch it, and I'll see if it's really thin or fake..."

"Don't, don't, don't lose weight, don't lose weight..."

Diao Chan knew that he was going to squeak herself again, so she quickly persuaded her to surrender.

Zhao Zihu nodded in satisfaction, retracted his half-stretched hand and said: "I have a task for you. Starting tomorrow, you will take Hu Hai and the others to play with me every morning. Don't slack off."

Diao Chan raised the corners of her lips, almost laughed out loud, and jokingly said, "Brother Zihu wants to tame that Xiangliyue? Is she taming instead?"

Zhao Zihu poked her on the head: "You know a lot at such a young age, you have tamed her long ago, you will know when you go tomorrow, just see if she is well-behaved or not."

Diao Chan saw that he was swearing, but she believed it a little bit, and she didn't intend to go into it. When she nodded in agreement, she stretched out her little foot.

Go straight to Zhao Zihu's leg!

Zhao Zihu frowned, raised his hand to slap her little feet away, and said speechlessly, "What do you want?"

Diao Chan lowered her head and didn't look at him, but continued to stretch her feet towards him, and said in a muffled voice, "Let's try too..."

bang——

Zhao Zihu raised his hand and gave her a brain blow.

But before he could say anything else, the outside of the tent suddenly remembered the voice: "The Patriarch is back, do you want to wash up first?"

Then, Zhao Gao's voice sounded: "Don't worry, go to the craftsman camp and help me find some fire nitrate. If you don't want to give it to me, I will buy gold cakes and buy more."

"only."

Zhao Gao obviously wanted to make ice to relieve the heat.

"Has Diao Chan fallen asleep?"

After Zhao Gao arranged the matter of saltpeter, he started to care about his daughter.

The maid answered and fell asleep.

But after a while, Zhao Gao probably got the report from the retainer guarding the rear, and suddenly said to the tent: "Young Master Zihu is in the tent, it is already late at night, please go back and rest."

This is because he is afraid that Zhao Zihu will do shameless things with his own daughter, and he will drive her away!
