The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Mr. Huo couldn't help laughing when he heard His Highness's childlike words, "It's the seed of this tree."

Tree seeds?

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and glanced forward. Maybe it was because of what Mr. Huo said, but he seemed to see a little bit of fog.

He blinked, but felt that the mist seemed to be gone, so he could only scratch his head and asked curiously: "How do you do that?"

"The seeds can be squeezed for oil, and the oil squeezed from the seeds can light a torch, and the fire can penetrate the mist."

Gu Yuzhi was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect it to be so complicated.

But what he didn't expect was that with such a complicated method, the people of Jingxiang would actually discover: "Jingxiang was originally outside the customs, so were these trees here before?"

Mr. Huo shook his head slightly: "No. After the establishment of Jingxiang, this tree suddenly grew up in a corner. It happened that someone discovered that there was a fog around it at night. By the next year, the tree had grown a lot, and the scope of the fog It’s even bigger.”

As the family members of soldiers, the people here are very vigilant and contacted them immediately.

They were afraid that the tree would produce poisonous gas like peach blossom miasma.

Huo Jiajun's people locked up the place overnight and raised poultry here. Three months in a row, these poultry are still alive and well.

The Huo family army sent soldiers to stay there for several more months. After confirming that it was really harmless, the idea of ​​using this tree to defend against enemies came up.

Mr. Huo watched His Highness rest his chin on his arm and look at him with big eyes without blinking, full of curiosity.

He suddenly thought of himself and when Huo Liangyao was young.

Jingxiang is like the inheritance of their Huo family. One generation after another explains the legend here, not only the fortresses, plants, and mazes here, but also the people here and the great military exploits made here.

"My father and the others had been studying the solution to the fog for a long time. It wasn't until one person held a torch through the fog at night that we found out that this person was using a torch stained by the oil of this tree."

In summer in Mobei, things are dry and dry, and the sun is fierce and long-lasting. The tree species were left outside to be exposed to the sun day and night, and they actually produced oil.

The man thought it was a waste, but he didn't dare to eat it, so he thought of lighting a lamp. Who would have thought that by chance, he would find a sharp weapon that could be used for going out in the wild.

Gu Yuzhi just felt that everything was so magical. These white fortresses, these plants, these mazes, everything made Jingxiang full of mystery and made him yearn for it.

He clapped his hands and turned to look at Xie Changshi: "Xie Changshi, tell me, after the inspection is completed tomorrow, it will be confirmed that these fortresses in Jingxiang can resist the enemy again. When the Beidi people come, can I stay there? A fort?"

The expressions of the others behind him all changed.

However, Xie Changshi understood the meaning of His Highness's words, which was to ask him whether the guards like Zhao Wei could be the first to live in the fortress as residents.

But he didn't make it clear because he didn't know what the guards were thinking.

Xie Changshi looked slightly startled and felt a little sad.

It seems that since the first time he refused His Highness to let Aunt Xu become a chef and asked him to ask Aunt Xu for her opinion, His Highness has been very concerned about the thoughts of the entourage who followed him to Mobei. .

If the Beidi people invaded, Zhao Weiwei and others would inevitably have to go to the battlefield. His Highness did not need to ask this question!
Xie Changshi lowered his eyes and said, "Of course it's possible."

A pun. It doesn't matter if it's His Highness, Guard Zhao or others!
Only then did a smile appear on Gu Yuzhi's face.

Magistrate Ke was a little worried: "Your Highness, this fortress is different from the previously sealed house."

Although the owner of the sealed house died, he died outside, but this fortress was different. People really died inside.

Gu Yuzhi's eyes were bright and his chin was raised slightly: "I know all what Magistrate Ke said."

He said firmly: "But I'm not afraid!"

"Although the people in Jingxiang are not military members, have not received military pay, have not eaten in military camps, and have not trained with soldiers, they are also great heroes who have killed Beidi people."

Gu Yuzhi patted his chest vigorously with his little hand and said, "Even if they are still here, if I move in, they will only welcome me if they know my identity."

Why should he be afraid of heroes?
It’s not too late for him to worship!

When Shu Xiaohan heard this, although she was very happy for the people of Jingxiang who died in vain, but when she thought of the scene when they met the young prince for the first time, she couldn't help but said in a leisurely tone: "Little prince, you are not afraid now because you have forgotten the first time before. Have you seen the situation between me and Shopkeeper Wen?"

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and looked at her, pretending not to understand what she meant: "What's going on?"

After he finished speaking, he pouted and snorted.

He was still so young at that time, and he had just arrived in Mobei. He was alone and scared. Two souls suddenly appeared in front of him. How could he not be scared?

Besides, Shopkeeper Wen and Teacher Shu are not heroes, so how can they be compared with these heroes?
But don’t let Teacher Shu know this, otherwise Teacher Shu will be angry.

Gu Yuzhi covered his mouth and laughed secretly, then listened to Mr. Huo's advice: "Your Highness should not live here anymore."

"Why?" Gu Yuzhi said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't Magistrate Ke say that he wanted to arrange for people to come here to reclaim the wasteland before, but the people in the whole state were unwilling to come when they heard that it was Jingxiang."

He patted his chest: "If they don't come, I will! If the people know that I live here, they won't be afraid, and they will live here."

But Magistrate Ke understood what Mr. Huo meant and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is a difference between ordinary people and military families. Even if some people are willing to come over, they will not use the things in these fortresses."

"I didn't know the history of this fortress before. I thought that in times of war, the people would evacuate. Even if they didn't evacuate, they would only provide assistance."

Who would have thought that the people in Jingxiang could actually use heavy crossbows.

Gu Yuzhi pursed his lips in displeasure. He was about to retort when Magistrate Ke said: "Your Highness has a distinguished status. The Beidi people will definitely send spies to check your location first. You are not suitable to be in Jingxiang."

He doesn’t have a noble status!
Gu Yuzhi groaned in his heart. If he had a distinguished status, the emperor would not have chosen him to come to Mobei.

This won't work, that won't work either. Gu Yuzhi lost interest in the night conversation and was about to go back to the carriage angrily.

He had just taken two steps when he heard a familiar whine. His eyes lit up and he was about to rush forward when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The little white snake wrapped his wrist tightly, and its head was retracted under his sleeves. Its cold body seemed to be trembling...
