Chapter 304 Delaying time
Luo Yu took out the ground flat mushroom that she found in the forest last time. Fortunately, there were still a few pieces of debris with roots.
She asked Qin Bingrui to call Miao Wenshu and several other women in the village to learn how to grow mushrooms.
So, a group of people with nothing to do followed Luo Yu to learn how to generate spawn and grow domestic mushrooms.
First, soak dead branches, straw, or other crop stalks in 5% limewater for 24 hours. Then, place the chopped mycelium inside, cover it, and finally, seal it in a ceramic jar and store it in a dark place. Ideally, keep it in a constant temperature indoors. After a few days, new spawn will begin to germinate. Once the spawn has germinated, reserve some for further growth, and cover the rest with nutrient soil. Water thoroughly, then cover with a layer of straw. Mushrooms should emerge in a few days.
If cultivated in large quantities, fresh oyster mushrooms can be eaten all year round.
This was also Luo Yu's first attempt, so she decided to wait for another two weeks. If successful, she would bring this technology out and teach it to people everywhere.
When Zhu Jinyou heard how simple she put it, he agreed to stay with her and see if this planting technique could be successful, the people would have another skill to support their families.
To this end, Luo Yu said that she wanted to see the mushrooms grow with her own eyes. She placed several jars of mushrooms in the room next to her and locked them from the inner room. If anyone wanted to see whether the mushrooms had grown, they had to pass through her boudoir.
Qin Bingrui asked her: "Sister, what does this mean?"
"To prevent that old thief from stealing my fungus."
"Are you afraid that Eunuch Yao will steal the fungus strains and take them back to seek credit?"
"Not really, but he definitely knows this is a good thing. If it really grows a lot of mushrooms quickly as I said, he'll definitely want to bring me back to the Imperial City to claim credit. So, I can't let him know too early whether the fungus has grown well or not."
"..."
Besides, Ran led Master Murong to persuade the seven elders, and picked a good day, and he would ascend to the position of clan leader five days later.
This is the first time in the history of the Baipu tribe that a woman has taken the position of patriarch. Luo Yu must stay to see the excitement.
Eunuch Yao was the one who was most unhappy about this, but the Murong family was going to take over the Baipu tribe's military forces, so he had to wait for the Murong family to hand over the troops so that he could have a good explanation when he brought them back to Beijing.
Otherwise, after being out for so many days and gaining nothing, and only hearing rumors that a real dragon appeared in the valley, the emperor would surely be angry again.
I don't know why, but the Emperor's temper has been getting worse and worse lately...
Five days later, General Cai and Deputy General Yang led more than 10,000 troops over the mountains and into the tribe, while another 10,000 troops were stationed outside the mountains for defense.
Qin Bingrui couldn't imagine how they got here, so he kept asking Yang Tianbao.
Yang Tianbao didn't say a word to her.
Qin Bingrui couldn't resist the sarcasm: "You said that it took so many days for so many of you to come here, but we conquered the tribe easily with just a few teams. It seems that having more people doesn't always help!"
Yang Tianbao was furious. It could be said that he himself was incompetent, but it could not be said that the soldiers he led were incompetent. They trained day and night to serve the country. Even if they had no merits, they had worked hard. How could he tolerate the slander of others?
"Miss Qin, it's too early to say that. If our troops hadn't arrived, your supposed conquest would have been nothing but an illusion."
"Oh, now that the real dragon has appeared, they won't cause any more trouble, right?"
In the past few days, Sister Luo Yu had even come up with a rather unkind plan: to have the three major bases send personnel to clean up the corpses on the battlefield, and to have the families and some clansmen come to watch the scene...
The heart-wrenching cry echoed throughout the valley and didn't stop for many days. Afterwards, Luo Yu couldn't help but complain that she hadn't slept well that night, and she was almost sent away...
However, this effect is also particularly good. No one should want to start a war for no reason for the time being. No one wants to disappear suddenly. The grief of losing loved ones seems to surround the valley for a long time and cannot dissipate.
After hearing this, General Cai frowned slightly. Could it be true what the soldiers said that day about seeing a dragon soaring into the sky and then disappearing in an instant?
So, the True Dragon Emperor is in this forest? Could it be that the current emperor is nearing death?
If Luo Yu knew what these ancient people were thinking, he would definitely regret releasing the image of a divine dragon.
She really had no idea about the term "True Dragon Emperor". At first, she was anxious because she thought that the dragon was the most respected by the world and would definitely be able to quell the war quickly.
She also didn't expect that it was because of this incident that she would be killed again.
Fortunately, Qin Bingrui was well prepared and borrowed a lot of troops from Yang Tianbao to guard the room where Luo Yu's sister lived.
Zhu Jinyou didn't bother to care about him. After all, he was the one Eunuch Yao wanted to get rid of the most. He didn't know what had gone wrong with the current emperor to want to get rid of his own brother. Could it be that he really was dying, and his children were still young, so there was no one to inherit the throne, so this brother was the biggest threat?
When Qin Bingrui was lying in Sister Luo's room and talking about this, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked her: "Sister, what do you think we should do if the emperor really dies?"
Luo Yu raised his index finger to his lips.
"Shh, walls have ears!"
Xia Liang smiled lightly: "I asked my lackeys to send a lot of wolf cubs to wrap them in several layers. They will howl if they smell outsiders, so don't be afraid."
Besides, all three of them were wearing bulletproof vests, and it seemed like they could walk around in this dynasty with impunity.
Qin Bingrui seemed lost in thought as he rambled on about what he had heard today: "After the clan leader's inauguration ceremony today, clan leader Ran personally handed the clan leader's succession token to General Cai, saying that from now on, the Baipu tribe would be at the Murong family's disposal. Eunuch Yao was furious and demanded that General Cai hand over the token. General Cai flatly refused, saying that the Murong family's tiger talisman for mobilizing troops was in the emperor's possession, so why should he hand it over when the Murong family originally served the emperor."
Xia Liang ate melon seeds while complaining: "Tsk tsk tsk, this old eunuch has bad intentions..."
Qin Bingrui said mysteriously, "I overheard something interesting while eavesdropping around the corner."
"What's the matter?" Luo Yu's eyelids were twitching. He hadn't slept well in the past few days and just wanted to have a good sleep.
"From what Eunuch Yao said at the time, the tiger talisman used to mobilize the Murong family's troops is not in the emperor's possession now."
Luo Yuren immediately perked up, his pupils dilating twice as wide as before as he asked, "What do you mean, is it lost?"
How awesome must this thief be to be able to steal things from the imperial palace?
"I suspect someone stole it. I'm afraid they really want to rebel."
Xia Liang was even more eager to try: "Why does it sound more and more interesting?"
Suddenly remembering something, she asked Luo Yu, "Sister, the chances of our eldest nephew inheriting the throne don't seem very high! He's less than a year old. The Empress can't rule with an infant, right?"
Luo Yu chuckled lightly and said angrily: "The emperor is fine, why are you talking as if he has passed away..."
"Then why don't we follow Eunuch Yao to the capital to join in the fun? If anything happens, we can take our nephew and flee..."
Xia Liang listened and became a little confused.
"Wait, wait, if Sister Luo Yu returns to the Imperial City, the people sent by the Empress will definitely not let her go, and her journey will not be peaceful..."
How could there ever be peace along this journey? The first month of the lunar year was drawing to a close. In another month, it would have been a full year since they had come to Rong Dynasty, and a full year since they had been hunted...
The three were still talking about the lively atmosphere when they heard the barking of dogs and the howling of wolves outside.
It seems the old eunuch really wants to wipe out the entire clan. But why would he want to kill Luo Yu first if he could just eliminate Zhu Jinyou? Doesn't he intend to take Luo Yu back to the Imperial City to see the Emperor?
There was too much noise outside. After a while, Master Murong came with his men, and the clan leader Ran also brought a lot of people. In an instant, the small courtyard was crowded with people. Not to mention the assassins, even Luo Yu himself had no place to stand.
Murong asked her with a worried look on his face, "Miss Bai, are you okay? What characteristics did you notice about the other person just now?"
Luo Yu shook his head.
She was just deeply impressed by the figures of these masters, who were Eunuch Yao's men, but she couldn't say it casually.
"I don't know. They were dressed in black and had great martial arts skills. Luckily, I invited Miss Qin and Miss Xia to come and see our new strain of fungi, so I was able to escape."
Qin Bingrui pointed in a direction and said to Murong, "They're being chased in that direction by the lackeys. The lackeys have very sharp noses, so perhaps you can find them quickly."
When Murong heard this, he immediately called on others to chase after him.
Qin Bingrui naturally knew that even if he could escape on the first day, he might not be able to escape on the fifteenth day, so it would be better to catch the person.
