Chu Tianbao’s sudden words that they had to hand it over to the army stunned everyone.
Staring at his serious expression, Bai Wutong nodded. “Indeed, it’s better to hand it over to the army. If it falls into the hands of the Southern Frontier rebels, I’m afraid it will start another war. It wasn’t easy for us to settle down, but if there’s another uprising again, we won’t be able to survive either.”
Sheng Huaixuan did not know that You Huaijie was one of them. He asked hesitantly, “Should we report the petroleum and solid ink to Lord You?”
After what You Huaijie had done to Youjia village, even though he had changed his recent ways of doing, it still did not change Sheng Huaixuan’s first impression of him.
Bai Wutong nodded and said, “Only Lord You can contact Marshal Gu if we want to hand it over to the army.”
“Moreover, Lord You wouldn’t dare to use such a powerful thing to gain personal benefits and please some people.”
Sheng Huaixuan thought about it and agreed. He turned around and reported the petroleum and solid ink to You Huaijie.
You Huaijie turned around and informed Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong.
After Chu Tianbao found out about the use of the petroleum, he had been distracted. When Bai Wutong mentioned whether to report it to Emperor
Linghui, he subconsciously retorted, “No.”
Bai Wutong looked at him in surprise, thinking that his reaction was a little too big.
Chu Tianbao explained, “We still don’t know how much petroleum is produced and how powerful is the firearms that can be made using it. We can go to the area it was discovered to investigate first. After dealing with these things one by one, we’ll then report it to Emperor Linghui.”
By the time the situation was settled, Marshal Gu must have already developed a firearm that was extremely dangerous.
Chu Tianbao did not know why he thought that way. He felt that it was best for Marshal Gu to have the firearm in his hands.
Feeling that he had a point, Bai Wutong nodded. “Then let’s go take a look in the morning? It won’t take long to return if we go now.”
Her intuition told her that Chu Tianbao really wanted to see the source of the petroleum, but he could not bear to leave her, so he did not mention it.
When Chu Tianbao heard that she was going, he frowned and said, “You’ll be tired.”
There was no modern transportation. Even though their carriage was spacious and comfortable, it was still very bumpy. When they encountered difficult roads, it was so bumpy that they felt dizzy. Chu Tianbao’s heart ached for her.
Bai Wutong smiled at him. “We’ve walked all the way through the desert.
What’s so tiring about riding in a carriage? Besides, I’m not that weak. ‘
She was someone who had experienced the apocalypse and had traveled through mountains and rivers to escape. Moreover, she had learned Qinggong now. A little bump was really not a big deal.
Chu Tianbao suddenly hugged her. “But I don’t want you to be tired.”
His deep voice was filled with lingering affection.
Heart pounding, Bai Wutong looked up from his arms. “But I want to go with you to see how the petroleum actually comes out from under the ground. I’m curious, too.”
Meeting her starry eyes, Chu Tianbao gave her an extremely gentle kiss.
“Okay.”
When they set off the next day, Bai Wutong felt that the carriage was too slow. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth. By then, the journey would not be smooth, and it would be even more difficult to catch up to the team. Hence, she discussed with Chu Tianbao about horseriding there.
In order to avoid any danger, Qingfeng stayed behind to protect Stinky, and more than half of the dark guards followed them.
You Huaijie had also come with them. Only then would they have a reason to openly inspect the petroleum.
They galloped on their horses and arrived at Ah Yu’s tribe in half a day.
As soon as their horses appeared, they were discovered by Ah Yu’s clansmen.
The strong men and women quickly mounted their horses, wary of the approach of Bai Wutong and the others.
You Huaijie took out his token. “The imperial court is conducting an investigation. Which one of you is the tribe leader?’
Ah Yu sized You Huaijie up and said coldly, “I’m the tribe leader. Why are you looking for me?” His tone was really not friendly.
The tribe leader was a woman. After discovering that polygamy was allowed here, Bai Wutong was not too surprised.
You Huaijie explained simply, “Petroleum belongs to the royal family. Take us to see it.”
Hearing the words “petroleum”, Ah Yu and the other clansmen’s expressions changed drastically.
Ah Yu said angrily, ‘The petroleum is the holy water of our tribe. Dream on!’ You Huaijie said without changing his expression, “You are already citizens of Ling Kingdom! ”
Ah Yu flung out the long whip. “Bullsh*t! Why should we acknowledge an emperor! Has he given us money to support us?”
Bai Wutong actually felt that what she said made sense.
You Huaijie grabbed the whip with one hand and used the momentum to throw Ah Yu off the horse.
“He didn’t support you, but hundreds of thousands of cavalry can flatten you.’
Ah Yu roared angrily, ‘What bullsh*t hundreds of thousands of cavalry? Your
Ling Kingdom clearly only has 80,000 troops left.”
Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong narrowed their eyes at the same time, surprised that Ah Yu knew such precise numbers.
You Huaijie was still as calm as ever, but his words made Ah Yu and the other clansmen’s expressions change. “Even so, it’s still easy to flatten your tribe.”
“I’ll give you two choices. Guard the petroleum and wait for the army to arrive, or offer the petroleum and obtain the favor of the current emperor. You’ll receive a generous reward.”
After all, the petroleum was just an inanimate object. The intelligent Syrians naturally knew how to choose.
Ah Yu hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, ‘We’ll bring you guys to take a look.”
You Huaijie warned in a low voice, “If I die here, none of you will be able to escape.”
Ah Yu said angrily, “We’re not as despicable as you Central Plains people! ‘ You Huaijie glanced at her coldly and didn’t say anything else.
The place where the petroleum was found was behind the hill of the tribe.
Ah Yu brought them there.
Suddenly , dozens of masked and armored rebels appeared and charged at You Huaijie and the others.
Ah Yu could accurately tell how many elite soldiers Marshal Gu still had left. Just now, it had aroused Chu Tianbao and Yu Huaijie’s vigilance. When the rebel army appeared, the two of them drew their swords at the same time. The dark guards quickly formed an encirclement and surrounded Chu Tianbao, Bai Wutong and Yu Huaijie.
When Ah Yu saw the rebel army that suddenly jumped out, her eyes widened and she grabbed the horse rope at a loss.
She had no idea how these people appeared.
If You Huaijie died here and her tribe would be threatened, Ah Yu immediately pulled out the saber on her horse and faced the masked rebel army.
“We can’t let them kill anyone!”
When Ah Yu spoke, the clansmen behind her also drew their weapons.
The man and woman behind the hill frowned when they saw this scene.
The woman with a moon symbol on her mask said, “Big Brother, what if we can’t kill the Central Plains dogs?”
The man with a moon symbol on his mask did not reply. Instead, he stared at Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong, who were surrounded, and fell into deep thought.
They had received news that You Huaijie was the biggest official sent by the dog emperor of the Central Plains.. Why was he protecting the two people in the middle?
