"Oh! I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore." Chu Zeyuan covered his mouth and shook his head slightly and said in a muffled voice.

The cute actions made everyone amused.

At this time, Chuntao and the others brought the dinner and placed it on the dining table.

"I won't say hello to you my own people. I will pick up whatever I want to eat." Chu Jiu looked at them with clear eyes and smiled happily.

The dinner was very rich and the dining table was filled. Chu Jiu and Yao Changsheng were already hungry. They were concentrated on eating, so naturally no one was chatting.

After eating and drinking, Yao Changsheng and the other two left.

Chu Jiu had just put down his bowls and chopsticks, and the guards came in to report that Xu Wendong and Tang Bingzhong were visiting.

Chu Jiu stood up and looked at Zhong Yuxiu and Chu Zeyuan and said, "You guys have a break early, I'll go to the study room to take a look."

"You are busy with yours! We will take care of ourselves." Zhong Yuxiu looked at him and smiled.

Chu Jiu raised his foot and walked forward, stepped into the study, "Why are you here?"

"I don't know you're back, come and have a look." Xu Wendong looked up and down and said, "Where did you go, you lost weight."

"Let's sit down and talk." Chu Jiu looked at the two of them, raised his voice and said, "Give tea!"

"No, no, I'll be unable to sleep at night when I drink tea at night." Tang Bingzhong waved his hand at him.

"That's OK!" Chu Jiu walked to the desk and sat down.

Xu Wendong and Tang Bingzhong sat down on the chairs on the left and right sides of the book case.

"I don't want water either. It's cold and I drink too much water. It's time to get up frequently at night and my butt is frozen." Tang Bingzhong said carelessly.

"The water is not handled anymore!" Chu Jiu looked at them with dark eyes and smiled.

"No need." Xu Wendong said with a smile as dark eyes as dark as he looked at him.

"Have you eaten?" Chu Jiu looked at the two of them with concern and asked.

"Eat." Tang Bingzhong looked at him and said with a smile, "Brother, what are you doing?" He looked at him anxiously and asked, "We wanted to come in the afternoon, because we were afraid that you would be too tired to rush on the road, so we didn't come until the evening."

Chu Jiu looked at the two of them with dark eyes and thought about it. Anyway, he realized soon, "Are we going out to find a coal mine?"

"Coal Mine, what is that?" Tang Bingzhong looked at him in confusion and said, "What's the use of finding this?" he looked at Xu Wendong and asked, "Do you know?"

"Coal, a kind of burnable thing that can be burned like charcoal, is resistant to burning and has strong firepower." Xu Wendong said the only thing he knew.

"What are you looking for coal for this endless firewood?" Tang Bingzhong said to him with curious blinking his big eyes like a copper bell.

"When iron is used to make iron with coal, it is better to make iron with charcoal." Chu Jiu looked at them and said simply.

"Build weapons!" Tang Bingzhong suddenly said when he heard this, "Good, our weapon blacksmith is struggling to fight."

"Have you found it from the Lord?" Xu Wendong asked curiously. The time was too short, less than a month.

"Finished." Chu Jiu said happily when he heard this, "It's in Huainan County we have captured."

"Oh!" Tang Bingzhong's mouth grew O-shaped when he heard this. He closed his mouth and remembered, "Wait, we have been stationed in Huainan for some days, why didn't I find that there is a coal mine!"

"If you can discover it, everyone will discover it." Chu Jiu said to him with a funny look.

"How did the elder brother find out?" Tang Bingzhong was so curious.

"It was not what I discovered, it was discovered by Changsheng." Chu Jiu looked at them and smiled, "Someone picked up black coal and was recognized by Changsheng. We found it after inquiring from many sources."

This was what the two of them discussed on the way back, to protect their younger brother and sister and let her stay out of the matter, that is, to push everything on Changsheng.

It is not just robbing the credit of my brother and sister, but pushing me out. It cannot explain how this person knows and finds the coal mine if he doesn't go out.

To put it in detail, more people will know the local logs, which is too dangerous.

"Changsheng is knowledgeable, no wonder." Tang Bingzhong said with a smile.

"Is this coal easy to dig? I heard that few coal miners can come back alive." Xu Wendong said to him worriedly.

"It's easy to dig!" Chu Jiu said happily, "The coal seam is very shallow, so you don't need to go down the well."

"How is this possible?" Xu Wendong said with big eyes in surprise.

"It is because the coal seam is shallow that people can pick it up, right? If it is deep, it is hidden under the ground, so we can't find it!" Chu Jiu said without blushing as usual.

"Wouldn't it be easy to dig it up?" Tang Bingzhong smiled foolishly.

"Yes, you can see the coal being pulled over soon." Chu Jiu said with a smile on his eyes looking at them with joy.

"That's great. We need to build weapons, and it's much easier to repair weapons." Tang Bingzhong said with a smile.

"Yes!" Chu Jiu said to them with a smile on his face.

"Then let's go! I won't bother with my brother to rest. I'm so tired all the way." Tang Bingzhong stood up and looked at Chu Jiu and said.

"I'll give you it." Chu Jiu stood up and said.

"No, no." Xu Wendong waved his hand.

"Let's go, I'll take you out with lanterns. It's not a full moon today, it's dark." Chu Jiu walked out and carried the lanterns to deliver them to the door. He watched them get on the horse and leave, and then turned back to the coach's mansion.

&*&

On the horse's back, Xu Wendong waved his whip all the time, and the sound of horse hooves hitting his eardrums in the quiet night.

"Go ahead? What are you doing slowly?" Tang Bingzhong urged and walked slowly on a horse.

"Do you think my brother is telling the truth?" Xu Wendong suddenly asked with a sharp look at him who was vaguely beside him.

"What do you mean?" Tang Bingzhong stared at him with his big eyes like a copper bell and said, "This is not immortality, who else can you? You let us? I haven't even seen coal." Then he asked, "Have you seen it?"

"No." Xu Wendong shook his head slightly.

"Isn't that all, I've never seen it before. I don't know you if I give it to us!" Tang Bingzhong said carelessly.

"We are the ones who can understand and see more in the end," Tang Bingzhong said with great envy, "But I can't be jealous!"

"Who is jealous?" Xu Wendong said with annoyance, "I'm just thinking, we have been stationed in Huainan for so long but haven't discovered it now." He said actively, "And since entering Luzhou, he has been busy and has saved his sister-in-law and Changsheng has married again. Where did he go to Huainan? How did he find the coal mine?"

"I said, why do you want so much?" Tang Bingzhong said with a smile, "You care how Changsheng found it. In short, there is coal now, and it is much easier to make iron."

Xu Wendong turned his face away when he heard this. He really couldn't talk to him. He always dismantled your platform.

"You! Stop thinking about things that should be happy. I really don't know what you think every day?" Tang Bingzhong shook his head slightly and said, "You just prove that it has nothing to do with immortality. What can you do?"

"What do you think? This means that my brother doesn't trust us?" Xu Wendong looked at him with his eyes blazing fire, "I didn't discuss anything with us, and I didn't even tell him. This is very dangerous!"

"What's the danger?" Tang Bingzhong said with a smile, "What are you discussing with us? Do we understand?"

"Uh..." Xu Wendong was blocked by him and almost came up.

"I really can't tell you." Xu Wendong said after a long time of grunting.

"What are you saying?" Tang Bingzhong humbly asked for advice.

"If this continues, there will be no place for us." Xu Wendong restrained himself and said.

"Why do you think so? A good man and three gangs, the elder brother cannot live without us!" Tang Bingzhong said openly, "The capable ones work harder! Let's do what we are good at! Why do you have to compare with others with what you are not good at? Isn't this feeling uncomfortable in your own way? Are you feeling uncomfortable by yourself?"

Xu Wendong took a few deep breaths to calm down his mind and said, "Can you make a better fortune? We can't be compared by others."

"This is not a problem of being unprosperous. Apart from being better than others in martial arts, how can we compare with others in other places?" Tang Bingzhong said with a calm look, "I am a Jinshi, so let's say that! The rice we have eaten may not be read by someone. This is really not comparable. People do know more than us. It's not okay to be unwilling to accept it!"

Xu Wendong was so angry that he was breathing heavily, and his chest was undulating violently.

In the quiet night, you can hear smoke coming out of his head.

"Even if you study now, you can't catch up with others." Tang Bingzhong continued to pour cold water without fear of death, "I know what are you worried about? Isn't it just that the credit is stolen. Let's continue to charge in the battle honestly. With the relationship between us and our elder brother, we can still lose our credit."

"It seems you are not stupid either!" Xu Wendong blurted out.

"You are so stupid!" Tang Bingzhong said bluntly, "We are not stupid, and we are not blind. If we don't say it, we don't know." He comforted him, "Besides, this is a good thing, and it's just for the sake of winning! No matter what we do, the brothers have to rush forward in the end. No matter how capable he is, he can't be able to make up for it."

"I don't need you to persuade me." Xu Wendong said angrily, and he grabbed the horse's belly and accelerated, and rode his horse wildly.

"Hey! You're leaving, why don't you wait for me?" Tang Bingzhong grabbed the horse's belly and chased after him with a whip.

"Brother is good to us. I personally took the lantern to send us out. Brother is still our elder brother, and it has not changed." Tang Bingzhong chased after him and said while running wildly, "Don't be stubborn."

"Who is so stubborn?" Xu Wendong immediately retorted.

When Tang Bingzhong shook his head and laughed, he accelerated his speed, "Go!"

"Wait!" Xu Wendong called him.

"So what's wrong?" Tang Bingzhong slowed down and turned around.

"I don't know what to say?" Xu Wendong said hesitantly.

"What can we brothers say?" Tang Bingzhong rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Speak quickly, or I'll leave."

"I want to say... let's give my elder brother a beautiful woman, okay?" Xu Wendong said with a heart-standard heart.

"Cough cough..." Tang Bingzhong coughed in shock, but fortunately he tightly pulled the reins and almost fell off his horse.

Tang Bingzhong stammered, "You...you are crazy. Why did you think of this bad idea?"

"How can this be a bad idea?" Xu Wendong said with a blank look, tightening the reins and slowing down, "Sister-in-law has children now, so she can't serve her elder brother. She should be the one who can help her elder brother solve her problems."

"You also know that the eldest brother has a sister-in-law. What do you care about your brother-in-law when it comes to the bed?" Tang Bingzhong shook his head and said, "Even brothers don't do this. What do you think?" Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and said, "You want to use a beauty trick on your elder brother! He Li Weiren gave his elder brother a woman, but you didn't see what the end!"
