Chapter 288 The Iron Smelting Clan
Miao Wei left just as quickly as he came back. Xie Fengyue just chatted with Lu Mei for a while about the current situation in Yongning and then he came back.
The threshold of the government office was very high. He carefully helped a white-haired old woman in. The old woman looked to be at least eighty years old, and her eyelids were drooped down by the wrinkles on her face.
"My lord, the husband of Mrs. Liu Li was the person who died when the first team in Yongning encountered a reef shipwreck. Her two sons were on the cargo ship at that time." After Miao Wei finished speaking, he motioned to the old lady to speak.
Decades later, when Miao Wei said these words, tears welled up in Mrs. Li's eyes, and her voice choked with sobs: "What do you want to ask, sir? I will definitely answer you honestly."
Xie Fengyue was not so impersonal. She waited silently for Mrs. Li to calm down before she asked, "Do you still remember exactly how many years it has been since the ship sank?"
Mrs. Li replied without thinking: "Twenty-five years and eight months."
Xie Fengyue was delighted when she heard this: "Are you sure?"
"As a response to your honor, my daughter-in-law had a fetal abnormality due to this incident and gave birth to my grandson on the second day after the incident. He just had his birthday last month." Mrs. Li wiped the tears from her eyes. Continued: "How could I remember this time wrongly."
After Xie Fengyue got the accurate answer, she already knew in her heart that she gave the silver reward and let the two of them leave.
Miao Wei and Mrs. Li walked in front, while Xie Fengyue went back to the room, rummaged through a pile of books and bamboo slips, and finally found a copy of "The Record of Strange Stories" among the miscellaneous books under the box.
Xie Fengyue is a cold-blooded reader who is full of miscellaneous information. When she saw the Yongning historical slips recording the incident of the reef today, she remembered a record she had seen before.
"In a small seaside town, there are hidden reefs in the seaway. One reef appears every twenty-five years, and another one disappears every twenty-five years. During the boat trip, dangers are everywhere, and dangers are everywhere. However, there are brave men who take risks in boats and survive five calamities. Return, it is really a natural danger that cannot be overcome.”
Isn’t this just in line with Yongning’s situation? Does this also mean that the reefs on the Yongning Sea Channel also appear and disappear every 25 years?
Xie Fengyue was slightly moved. She took the "Qiwenlu" and went to find Lu Mei. He was knowledgeable and knowledgeable and it would be best to discuss it with him.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she bumped into You Heng.
Xie Fengyue had serious business in her heart and didn't want to talk to him. When she raised her eyes, she saw that he looked miserable today and his crestfallen look was extremely pitiful. She pinched her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ?”
You Heng's eyes were dim, his eyebrows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed. He looked listless. He sighed quietly: "It's nothing, hey~"
His look almost said "I have something to do! It's a big deal" written all over his face.
Xie Fengyue's eyes were slightly stern, and she raised her head to look at him: "What's the matter, just tell me."
You Heng lowered his eyes, with a hint of resentment in his tone: "Actually, it's not a big deal at all, hey~"
"Don't tell me I'm leaving." Xie Fengyue's patience with this husband ran out after a few moments, and she raised her skirt and pretended to walk out.
You Heng became anxious now, and Nuonuo said: "I am not familiar with the place in Yongning. I haven't spoken to anyone since you left this courtyard."
"You want to follow me out?" Xie Fengyue finally understood what he meant. She didn't mind that You Heng followed. As a princess, she did things upright and for the benefit of the fiefdom. "Then just follow me, but!" Xie Fengyue deliberately paused for a while before continuing: "If you can't bear it anymore, just come back by yourself. I don't have time to send you back, you know?"
< br>
You Heng didn't expect Xie Fengyue to be so easy to talk to. The resentful look just now was gone, and there was a faint smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows: "That's natural. I will definitely not delay Madam's business."
You Heng said there would be no delay, but when he actually arrived at the main hall of the government office, he coughed and sighed, which really annoyed Xie Fengyue.
When he interrupted the conversation between Xie Fengyue and Lu Mei for the fifth time, Xie Fengyue couldn't bear it anymore. She glared at You Heng fiercely: "Hurry up and take two more pills to suppress it."
The corners of You Heng's eyes turned slightly red when he coughed. He covered his mouth with his fist and coughed intermittently: "I'm sorry, I'll eat it right now."
Lu Mei, who was on the side, had a faint smile in her eyes, folding her arms and watching him play at leisure.
Xie Fengyue stared intently at You Heng taking the medicine, and naturally missed Lu Mei's expression. She watched You Heng pour out the pills and take them, then turned to look at Lu Mei: "Master Lu, let's continue."< br>
Xie Fengyue turned the "Qiwenlu" to the place where the reef was recorded, pointed to the words on it and said: "I want to form a fleet to go to the place where the reef was discovered a few years ago. I will go together then, and I hope Mr. Lu will give me Recommend a trustworthy captain to take the lead.”
The smile in Lu Mei's eyes froze. He was still calm at the moment. He first read everything in the book one by one before speaking out to stop him: "No, this book is just a folk miscellaneous book. The things recorded in it are not No matter what, the princess must not put herself in danger."
Xie Fengyue didn't answer, but motioned for him to look down.
Lu Mei hesitated for a moment before picking up the book and reading softly: "In a remote city on the seashore, the sea channel is deep and there is a hidden reef lurking. This reef emerges from the bottom of the sea every twenty-five years, like a dragon and a snake emerging from its cave, creating stormy waves. Follow It rose; after twenty-five years, it quietly sank, and the sea returned to calm. The unusual fall of the reef was the miracle of heaven and earth, and a new island came into being and appeared in the world.
< br>
On this new island, there may be rich copper deposits, which are as bright as jadeite and can be discerned by the light, and are hard enough to be used for making sharp weapons; or there may be deep iron deposits, which are as black as ink and as heavy as a stone, and are used in a wide range of applications. , you can build huge ships; or you may have a gold mine, which is shining and precious, and its benefits are endless, and you can become extremely rich. However, the treasures on this island are not easy to come by. It requires knowledgeable people and careful consideration to discover their true value.
However, the island is located in a place blocked by reefs. The navigation route is extremely difficult and dangerous, with rough waves and strong winds. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Therefore, it cannot be achieved without the courage of a brave man and the strategy of a wise man. Although this island is rich in treasures, it is also full of challenges and dangers. Only the brave and wise can overcome all difficulties, obtain treasures, and achieve great things. ”
Lu Mei's expression gradually became serious, and she became serious by the end.
He slammed the book on the table and said sternly: "Princess, please don't be deceived by these books! I have never heard of such a major event in my travels all over the world. It is definitely a lie!"
Xie Fengyue shook her head: "Does Mr. Lu know about the Iron Smelting Clan?"
As soon as she said this, even You Heng, who was pretending to be a fool next to her, looked at her.
"When did she know that Xiao Xuan was from the iron-making clan?"
