It is very cold in early winter in Yanzhou.

When Chen An arrived, the local officials were shocked and thought that the Xixia people were coming to find fault.

"Who knows black oil?"

Chen An asked in the prefecture yamen.

Everyone shook their heads, and the governor Wu Shan said, "I'm afraid I'm not listening to it, right?"

Chen An looked around and Wu Dan said understandingly: "It's all gone."

After someone left, Chen An said, "There are businessmen who know about it, but this matter must be kept confidential, and the noise is too big... not good."

There was a little coldness in his eyes. The question just now was just a test. Who knew that black oil would probably not have to leave, just wait for the subsequent quarantine.

Wu Dan remembered the Jingguan he had made and immediately promised: "Don't worry, I'll go find it myself."

"You can't find it!"

Chen An was a little disappointed with him because he learned from the merchant that Heiyou was in the countryside. There were many people in the countryside, but the traffic was not large, so he came to seek official support.

This magistrate knew nothing about this, and it seemed that he was also an official who did not go to the countryside.

"Keep confidential!"

He repeated this sentence again before leaving, which shocked Wu Dan.

"Mr., aren't you afraid of alerting the snake? You were not interested in black oil, but after the big news, you may attract some attention."

Wen Xiaochong knows this mentality well and is good at using this mentality to guard the opportunity to assassinate.

"There will be a lot of demand in the future." Chen An said tiredly: "After finding it, there will definitely be blockade, and then it will be continuously collected and transported back to Bianliang. Do you think it is the current situation or the time when it was very disturbing?"

Wen Xiaozhong lowered his head and said, "It's the villain who was wrong."

"You are very smart, and there is no need to hide these clevernesses." Chen An smiled and said, "I am not that kind of husband who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and cannot be ashamed of others than you. Look at the people around me, Yuan Ze is smart, right? The cleverness makes someone desperate. Zizhan's poems and articles make someone ashamed. Zundao's military command and martial arts make someone feel at a disadvantage... But they and someone are good brothers."

Only when you are with someone who is stronger than you will gradually become stronger.

"The threshold monkey is boring, and it's even more boring to be king in a small circle. You have to go swimming in the sea. This is the man!"

Wen Xiaochong was silent for a long time. Just when Shen An thought he was thinking about those words, Wen Xiaochong said, "But you can crush Zhelangjun in literature; you can crush Wang Langjun and Su Langjun in martial arts..."

Hey!

Chen An stopped looking at him with a look of surprise.

"You will also have many things that they don't understand, such as miscellaneous studies, such as diplomacy... You just don't like to show off, otherwise no one will be better than you."

yes!

Chen An suddenly felt that he was very humble and had such great ability but he didn't say anything.

It's easy for me!

All the fatigue dissipated at this moment.

“Promising!”

Chen An patted Wen Xiaozhong's shoulder and smiled and said, "Go tonight and set off tomorrow to look for black oil."

...

Early the next morning, Chen An followed the three merchants to the countryside, but when he left the city, he encountered Wu Dan who was yawning.

"Is Wu Zhizhou going to do business?"

Chen An slept well last night, but today he was in good spirits.

Wu Dan bowed and said, "Xiao Guan didn't sleep all night last night. He wondered if he was a little dereliction of duty. Later, he thought that he didn't even know that there was such a thing under his rule, which shows that he was incompetent."

This man reacted very quickly. Chen An had already written a memorial last night and mentioned Wu Dan in the memorial, but there was basically nothing good about it.

"You are lucky!"

Chen An laughed, and Wu Dan was shocked and sweated.

Joining Chen An is actually preparing to impeach me?

So he took the initiative along the way.

The group came to a village at about noon.

"Wang Laoer! Come out!"

One of the merchants went to call for someone, but soon brought a man.

"This is a high-ranking official from the capital. I'll be honest with you, otherwise my whole family will be exiled."

The man bowed his head and bowed, "I dare not."

He said he didn't dare, but his eyes were rolling, observing Chen An and his party.

Chen An stretched out a finger and said, "I want black oil to make lamp oil, but their place produces too little oil. I said you know how many places you have... I found it, and it's a hundred coins without any ambiguity."

"One hundred stakes?"

Wang Laoer's eyes showed a look of greed, "That place is not easy to find! Is it a little less than a hundred coins?"

The businessman sneered: "Wang Laoer, one hundred coins are enough for you to be a rich man. No matter how much you have, you are not afraid of being missed by others."

"Who dares to think about it!"

Wang Laoer's eyes were filled with fierce look. He slowly looked at Chen An and others, and then scraped past him like a steel knife.

Wu Dan whispered: "Attack, the people in this place are tough."

He was very tough. Later, Li Zicheng was from the northwest.

The swordsmen in the northwest, the wind in the northwest, and the spirits in the northwest...

“It’s a good place.”

Chen An said lightly: "No matter how much money you have, I can give you, but are you sure you want it?"

Wang Laoer glanced at him and said, "The villain is afraid that he won't be able to find that place..."

This guy looked good at first glance, especially his feet were actually grinding, and he was probably ready to run away at any time.

"Catch him!"

Chen An didn't have time to do this and said to Wu Dan: "Let's go back to this village and go to work there, pay more, but keep an eye on it."

Wang Lao Er ran back suddenly, and he ran all the way to the village, shouting: "Here's someone!"

puff!

A slender little drill passed over his shoulder and pierced into the soil ahead.

"You'll try running again?" Wen Xiaozhong grabbed a small drill in his hand.

Wang Laoer stopped, turned around slowly, and smiled and said, "The villain wants to make people cook and entertain the nobles."

Then it was looking for black oil.

More than ten miles away from the village, Chen An saw a touch of black in the middle of the hills on both sides.

“It’s here.”

Wang Laoer pointed inside and said, "I can see bubbles frequently, a lot of them."

"Look at it."

Chen An rushed in excitedly. Wang Laoer immediately took a step back and asked, "The villain doesn't want money anymore, the villain doesn't want money anymore."

Chen An and others did not introduce their identities, but he had already observed this along the way that these people were all official figures.

He thinks black oil is useless, but the official company is different!

Moreover, the officials are best at settle accounts after the autumn, and destroy bridges across the river. Now that they have found black oil, will they exil to someone?

"It's black oil!"

Chen An squatted beside him, looking at the small lake made of oil, and said excitedly: "My incendiary bomb is here! Hahahaha!"

Water War is currently the same as land Warfare, with long-range crossbows and short-range jump gang fighting, without any technical content.

Now that the Song Dynasty naval army has more local bombs, it will surely cause those who are suffering from the headache. If another incendiary bomb is used, how can we fight this battle?

A big bubble suddenly surged on the black lake surface. The bubble slowly burst and a stench came, but Chen An sniffed it like a supreme delicacy.

"Look for someone!"

Someone went back to the city to report the news. Wu Dan didn't know if he could get rid of the danger of being impeached by Chen An, so he wanted to get caught. He walked over and said, "This place looks quite small, but what should I do if I finish scooping?"

“There are still below.”

This is a pressure sprayed from below.

Squirt hard!

Chen An said: "This thing is sticky and a lake is formed on it, which offsets the pressure, so it will not expand. As long as you scoop up all the above and dig it down, it will be sprayed out."

Wu Shan asked: "What is pressure?"
