I really didn't want to be emperor

The mountain village has rugged trails, winding ancient vines and winding paths.

Under the leadership of Shen Wansan, Ye Jun quickly appeared in front of Li's home.

When Lao Li learned that Ye Jun was coming from Jinling City, he naturally regarded him as a nobleman.

Don't dare to neglect the slightest.

Old Li's figure crouched, and hurriedly asked Ye Jun to enter the courtyard.

An old woman walked out and brought the tea dripping, but did not dare to say a word.

Women and Taoists, dare not say anything.

Ye Jun looked at Mr. Li, "Old man, I am a friend of Ms. Qianqian, you don't have to be restrained, I came here to ask something."

Lao Li motioned to Ye Jun to take his seat, and said in a deep voice, "As long as the old man knows what he wants to ask, he must answer honestly."

It is clear.

Hearing that Ye Jun was Han Qianqian's friend, Old Li immediately relaxed his vigilance. Besides, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen Ye Jun at the side entrance of Tianxialou.

Ye Jun picked up the tea cup on the stone table and took a sip, "Good tea, is this the old man's own tea?"

Mr. Li said: "Wild tea is picked in the mountains by the old man. If the son likes it, let the old woman pack some back for the son when he leaves."

Ye Jun nodded, "Thank you, the old man."

The tea is really delicious.

It was not that Ye Jun said casually.

Naturally decorated, sweet and mellow.

Put down the teacup.

Ye Jun said solemnly: "Old man, I want to ask, where did you chop wood all day long."

Old Li stood up, raised his arm, and pointed towards the mountain, "The son is on the hillside at the head of the village."

Ye Jundao: "Can you take me to see?"

Old Li nodded, "Of course."

Talking.

He turned around and looked into the house and shouted, "Old lady, I will take the son to the hillside. You can pack the tea for the son. Remember to bring more."

The voice fell.

He crouched and walked out of the courtyard.

Ye Jun gave Li Bai a look, and the latter understood, took out some broken silver from his waist and placed it on the stone case before moving to catch up.

Old Li is simple, honest and honest.

Being very sincere to others, this made Ye Jun think of his grandfather who lived in the country in his previous life.

It is not easy for Li to go to the mountain to pick tea in his old age.

Ye Jun knew that if he gave him silver taels in person, he definitely wouldn't accept them.

Because Lao Li is such a person.

otherwise.

He would never drive a horse-drawn carriage into Jinling City to send firewood to Han Qianqian every few days, and he had already reported her life-saving grace that day.

A short while.

Under the leadership of Mr. Li, the three Ye Jun appeared under the hillside, the latter squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and placed it in his palm.

For a time.

He frowned and looked thoughtful.

In a flash.

Ye Jun raised his eyebrows again, his eyes flashed with excitement, "Really, it's true, it really exists."

Seeing him a little crazy, talking to himself.

Li Bai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My son, what's wrong!"

Ye Jun turned his head and looked at Li Bai, "It's okay, just happy."

One side.

Shen Wansan appeared with a blank face. His Royal Highness was so happy holding the soil, but it was just ordinary soil.

How does it feel that in His Highness's eyes, it is like holding gold.

"My son, what is the difference between this soil?"

Ye Jun smiled and said, "This place is not the other place!"

Talking.

He looked up at the mountain in front of him, and continued: "This mountain is a treasure."

Treasure?

Li Bai, Shen Wansan, and Old Li all looked suspicious and didn't know what Ye Jun meant.

Ye Jun continued: "Taibai, Wansan, don't you find that the soil here is different from other places?"

Hear the sound.

The two looked down and looked aside. The soil is indeed slightly different. The other places are all loess, but the soil here is black.

Shen Wansan said: "My son, this black soil is a treasure."

Ye Jundao: "That's right."

As everyone knows.

The soil is mixed with coal, so it appears black.

That day, at the side entrance of the Tianwai Building, Ye Jun found the mud residue left by the wheels, and he had already guessed. He came to find out today and it was as he expected.

and so.

In his eyes, the soil in his palm is far more valuable than gold.

Coal has not yet been used in Daxia. The most common type of coal on the market is charcoal, which is also used by the nobles in the upper class for heating in winter.

After ordinary people enter the winter, they basically rely on resistance to the cold.

Every year, because of the cold winter, many people freeze to death.

Nowadays.

As winter is about to enter, if coal is mined, it will not only solve the heating problem of the people, but it will also be a source of wealth.

Rare is precious, and coal comes out, completely letting people say goodbye to the cold.

Does Ye Jun have any reason to be unhappy.

Soon.

Ye Jun said solemnly: "Old Li, how many people are there in the village?"

Old Li said: "My son, there are not many, less than a hundred households, and they are all like the old."

Ye Jun frowned slightly, "Where have the young people gone."

Lao Li said again: "The son doesn't know something. In the past few years, some young and middle-aged people in the village have enlisted in the army and traveled with the army to various places, and some stayed in the village, relying on cultivated land and selling some mountain products, and they can barely survive."

"But then weird things happened frequently on the mountain. The villagers thought it was an ominous place, so they all moved out one after another, leaving some old people here."

Something strange happened?

Ye Jun looked suspicious. He was a man for two lifetimes. He didn't believe in ghosts and ominous places. Everything happened for a reason.

Many times, when people cannot understand some things, they will be given ominous names.

"Old man, tell me what happened in the village."

Lao Li glanced at Ye Jun, lost in thought, as if he was reminiscing, "Two years ago, there were often loud bangs in the mountains, the sound was very loud, as if the mountains would collapse at any time."

"That night, the fire blazed into the sky, and the night sky that was shining was crimson, and the fire snake swept through the sky. I was terrified. After that, all the fishes died in the mountain lakes, and even the grass and trees on the mountains were turned to ashes.

"The people thought it was the sky fire and there was something unclean on the mountain. They were afraid that it would hurt themselves, so they moved out."

Ye Jun nodded, "Old man, can you take me to take a look at the changed mountain?"

Old Li said: "Yes, but no one has been there for a long time. The mountain roads are rugged and the weeds are all over the place. The son really wants to go?"

Ye Jundao: "The old man only needs to tell me the location, and we will go and see for ourselves."

The reason for saying that, Ye Jun is worried that the mountain road will be difficult to walk, and Li's body will be overwhelmed.

Lao Li seemed to perceive Ye Jun's worry, "It's the old man who will take you there. The road in the mountains is complicated and it is difficult to walk without leading the way."

"Then it will work."

Ye Jun said in a deep voice, and gave Shen Wansan a look, the latter hurriedly stepped forward to help Old Man Li.

In this way, a group of four people walked towards the deep mountains.

At noon.

The end of a mountain road.

Lao Li finally stopped and pointed to the front, "Master, you can see the lake within a few hundred meters."

Ye Jun suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, watching the mist lingering in front of him, and the mountains seemed to be flying in the mist, "Wansan, Taibai, you take Mr. Li and walk slowly, I will look ahead."

Talking.

He lifted his clothes, accelerated his speed and ran towards the end of the mountain road, with ecstasy on his face, his eyes flickering, and his eyes filled with blazing light.

As if discovering the New World.
