There were only 10,000 pawns, and only more than 500 people could come back to receive the emperor's rewards and rewards in person, but these more than 500 people rode on the tall Hun horses, with swords, guns, bows and crossbows hanging on both sides of the saddle. The armor on their bodies was broken but murderous intent was awe-inspiring. The entire team was like a sharp sword unsheathed, emitting a sharp chill.

Therefore, as the team got closer and closer, the voices of the welcome people slowly became silent. In the end, they could only hear one after another of the horns and neat horse hooves trembled as the earth became closer and closer.

"Drop the horse~" The team stopped a row a hundred feet away from the emperor's head. Li Xin, who was walking in the front, roared, and five hundred pawns scattered stirrups at the same time.

"Hello~" Li Xin shouted again.

"Greetings to Your Majesty~" Five hundred soldiers knelt on one knee almost at the same time, holding their fists and shouting at Qin Shihuang who was sitting on the emperor's jade chariot. Among them, there was a young man dressed in a literati, who also knelt on one knee on the ground with a serious and serious expression. It was Comrade Li Shun, a front-line reporter appointed by Chen Xu.

However, in two months, Li Shun became much darker and lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were clear and calm, and his movements were neat, which was not much different from these more than 500 soldiers. There was no sign of the decadent scholar's expression on his firm and serious face, and it was replaced by a kind of perseverance and coldness with a strong murderous aura.

In the past two months, this young man who was determined to be a real man was reborn like a bone-breaking marrow-cleaning. He followed the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to fight thousands of miles, and indeed fulfilled his promise that he was not afraid of death.

Li Shun, who returned at this time, is no longer the Li Shun of the past, will inevitably become a dazzling new star among the Daqin aristocrats. Because the news and manuscripts of the Hebei victory published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, the title of each article is published under the title of the Daqin Metropolis Daily's name of Li Shun, the military reporter of Daqin Metropolis Daily, and this name has long been spread throughout Daqin with the special issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily. After reading these exciting articles, Li Shun's name was also firmly remembered by scholars all over the world.

Qin Shihuang stood up in the carriage, then got out of the car with the help of the eunuchs accompanying him, and walked towards the soldiers who were kneeling and saluting with great strides under the protection of a group of Xuanwu Guards.

The first one helped Li Xin up, the second one helped Jiang Heng up, and the third one helped Li Shun up.

"Are you Li Shun, a reporter from the newspaper office?" Qin Shihuang looked at this dark, thin but full-hearted young scholar.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Shun was inexplicably excited.

"Okay, very good. Your military battle report is written very well. I like it very much. I will have a great reward!" Qin Shihuang patted Li Shun on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but Li Shun doesn't want to reward you. Li Shun hopes that Your Majesty will reward the soldiers who sacrifice themselves and fight to the death, and the families and descendants of the soldiers who died in Hebei who buried their bones!"

"Don't worry, I will not forget them..." Qin Shihuang looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground with tattered armor, and Daxiong waved his sleeves and said excitedly: "Please get up with all the soldiers!"

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Five hundred generals stood up with a bang, like five hundred murderous spears.

For Li Xin, this was a revenge battle to cleanse the shame of defeating Chu. It should be said to be a complete success. For Jiang Hu, this battle was his rise of fame. Judging from the promotion of the Daqin Metropolitan Daily, this would be another rising star of Qin. With this raid on Hebei, the great achievements of the Xiongnu Wangting to kill the Xiongnu Shanyu. In time, Jiang Hu's achievements may not be worse than that of the Wang family or even the Meng family.

As for the great victory between Li Xin and Jiang Hu, Qin Shihuang naturally praised him with slutty praise. He even personally took their hands on the jade chariot and returned to Xianyang on the jade chariot. Among the welcome crowd, countless reporters from Daqin Metropolis Daily had already written hard on the carriage on the road, writing this welcome scene of unprecedented scale.

The pawns who returned to the court with five hundred victories were almost surrounded by the popular Xianyang people. They walked for nearly an hour in just thirty miles back to Xianyang. It was not until the end of the You hour, when the sun set, and the triumphant soldiers and the team of farewells all entered Xianyang City.

After entering the city, it was even more sensational. The crowds of people were surging along the streets and cheering warmly. Many people held fruits and eggs and stuffed them into the soldiers' hands. Countless young girls in thin summer skirts greeted the soldiers excitedly, hoping to get the favor of these soldiers who made contributions. If they could marry these soldiers, they would have no worries about food, clothing, housing and clothing for the rest of their lives.

As the most popular marquis and honorary in the Qin Dynasty, Chen Xu is naturally in the welcome team, but he also brought two little girls Xing'er and Yu Ji, with his main purpose to watch the fun together.

After a while, he set out at the Wushishi and returned until the Youshishishishishi. After he went to the city, Chen Xu felt that he was almost exhausted. The two little girls were even hot and their faces were red, and they were almost breathless when they shouted.

Damn it's a haunted weather, why is it so hot!

Chen Xu was afraid that the two little girls would have heat stroke, so he entered the city and said he would prepare the divine thunder fireworks in advance. After saying hello to Feng Quji in advance, he took the two little girls back home first.

As for the remaining officials, they could only follow the emperor to accompany Li Xin, Jiang Hu and some soldiers who have made contributions to the Ganquan Palace to prepare for the night banquet.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Chen Xu couldn't wait to take a cold shower, change into clean and refreshing clothes, and drink a large cup of herbal tea. Only then did he feel much better. The two little girls also took a bath and changed clothes to drink herbal tea, but they still yelled that it was so hot and wanted to play in the water outside the city.

It was already dusk. If it was in Xiaohe Village, it was just the time to play in the river to cool off in the river, but Xianyang was not very convenient. Although the curfew was lifted in the past three days and the city gate was closed very late, it was too unsafe to go out at this time. Moreover, the Wei River is not the small river less than two feet deep in Xiaohe Village. The water flows fast and the darkness is so dark that it can't be found. So the request of the two girls was rejected by Chen Xu. Xing'er shouted a few more words. Chen Jiang directly picked up a broom to chase the girl who ran away all over the Marquis' Mansion. A group of maids followed behind to block and protect them. The monkeys also jumped up and down, causing the two pandas to scream. In the evening, the whole Marquis' Mansion was in a mess.

Chen Xu was lying on the bamboo bed in the yard, and several young maids who fanned and drove away mosquitoes were sweating profusely, which made Chen Xu feel embarrassed, so he got up and decided to get something to relieve the heat and cool down.

It is naturally the best thing to relieve heat and cool down, but ice is not easy to get at the moment. I heard that there are in the palace and some royal palaces in the palaces of princes and princes and ministers. They are stored in cellars in winter, but it is very difficult to preserve and the cost is extremely high. It costs tens of thousands of yuan to build a cellar that can store ice, and it also stores dozens or hundreds of tons of ice and snow. It is probably not a hundred to keep until this hot summer. The preciousness is simply indescribable.

In ancient times, there was also a device specially used to preserve food with ice, called Bingjian. It was actually a two-layer bronze ware that placed the ice in the outer and inner containers. However, this luxurious life can only be enjoyed by the princes.

There are several such Bingjian Qinghe Marquis Mansion, all of which were left by Lu Buwei before. It can be seen that Lu Buwei enjoyed the treatment of the princes and the emperor at that time.

After Princess Qingning died some time ago, because the weather was hot, she had to stop her spirit for another three days. The emperor also sent dozens of kilograms of ice from the palace and placed it in the ice mirror to cool the coffin. However, no one expected that Princess Qingning was just a state of fake death, and her breathing stopped for a day and a night and was rescued by Guiguzi.

Chen Xu is still worried about this matter and does not know how to face and deal with this matter in the future, because no one knows this matter except him and Yu Wuya. If Wang Qingxiu suddenly rode back to Qinghe Hou Mansion one day, the whole of Xianyang would be in chaos.

"Brother Xu, Yu Ji is so hot!"

A pair of small hands pulled Chen Xu back from the messy thoughts, and saw Xiao Yuji wearing a bellyband and pants, blushing barefoot and shaking his arm hard.

"Be good, brother, I'll make you ice for you!" Chen Xu smeared the sweat on his forehead, walked into his usual laboratory, found a pottery jar from a corner, opened it, and it was mostly white crystal powder inside.

Looking at half a jar of white powder, Yu Ji squatted down curiously and dipped some in her fingers, put them in her mouth. Before Chen Xu could stop the little girl, she vomited out with a puff.

"Brother Xu lied to others. The ice is bitter and astringent, so it's so unpalatable!" Yu Ji shouted loudly.

Chen Xu quickly covered the lid with a black thread and asked a little maid to pull Yu Ji outside the laboratory. Then he ordered another little maid to find a clay pot and an iron can, and also a bucket of clean well water.

Soon the maid came back and brought a few kitchen workers, some carrying clay pots, some carrying iron, and some carrying buckets.

Chen Xu looked at it and found that everything was ready, so he waved his hand and drove everyone out of the laboratory.

The laboratory of Qinghe Hou Mansion is the same as that of Xiaohe Village. No one is allowed to approach except Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou Yu Wuya, and there is no entry or exit. Especially the two little girls were specifically told not to enter, so no one dared to approach this laboratory on weekdays.

He put the clay pot on the table, poured half a basin of water, then poured almost half of the crystallized powder from the jar into the clay pot, and then filled half of the jar of clean water into the clay pot. After finishing, Chen Xu picked up a bamboo stick and stirred it gently in the clay pot.

Soon the water temperature in the clay pot began to drop rapidly.

As the stirring was rushing, the water temperature in the clay pot became lower and lower, and the temperature around it became lower and lower. You could also see a trace of cold air rising above the water pot. Chen Xu touched the iron can with his hand and couldn't help but tremble.

543

Seven or eight minutes later, ice began to appear in the clay pot, and the entire tabletop was covered with frost, and the cold air was so strong that it was within a radius of ten feet.

Chen Xu felt that it was not hot at all at this time, but instead he felt goose bumps appear all over his body. He opened the lid and looked at it. The water in the iron can was already frozen, but it was not enough to form ice. So Chen Xu poured some powder into the pottery basin and continued to stir.

Chen Xu hid in the laboratory and stirred the water. Several young maids, kitchen workers and Yu Ji were standing outside the door waiting. He didn't know what the Marquis locked him in the room. However, occasionally he could hear the sound of Chen Xu sucking in the cold air inside, and sometimes he would mutter to death, so he made a group of people look at each other!

"What are you all doing?"

Xing'er, who was chased by Chen Jiangshi and beaten up a few times, cried and was led by Shui Qingru to find Yu Ji to play with her nose. As a result, she saw a group of people lying on the window of the laboratory. So Xing'er also forgot that the butt hurt because her mother had just beaten, so she squeezed her forward and asked softly.

"Shh, don't say anything, Brother Xu said he wanted to make ice food!" Yu Ji quickly covered Xing'er's mouth.

"Brother must be lying, where did the ice come from in summer!" Xing'er expressed Yan Chong's distrust of the news.

"I don't believe it either, but Brother Xu said he was going to freeze to death!"

The two little girls muttered, and Shui Qingrou also listened at the door, then pushed the door open and closed it.

"Madam, come, my ice is almost ready!" Chen Xu knew that it was Shui Qingrou when he heard the footsteps, and he greeted him without looking back.

When Shui Qingrong pushed the door and entered the room, he felt a cold smell. The temperature in the whole room was at least much lower than outside. Chen Xu was still sniffing while stirring the water.

Water gently walked to the edge of the table and saw that the tiles were indeed in a semi-solidified state of ice, and a layer of frost had appeared on the entire table.

"Hey, my husband actually made ice. What kind of magic is this?" Shui Qingrou looked at her husband in surprise, as if she had discovered another amazing new continent.

"This is not a magic technique, it's just a simple chemical reaction, a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later!" Chen Xu said a few words, opened the lid of the iron can and looked at it, poked it with his finger a few times, and smiled on his face and said, "Look, you're here just right, the ice is solidified and you can start eating!"

Soon, Chen Xu brought a clay pot from the laboratory with a linen cloth and ordered two little maids to deliver the clay pot after making ice to the room where the two little girls Xing'er and Yu Ji, so that they could cool down. The ice in the iron can almost condense into a piece. Chen Xu ordered the kitchen staff to go to the kitchen to get a few large bowls, mash the ice with a spatula and then serve a few bowls, and ordered Chen Jiang to send a bowl to Chen Jiang, one bowl for several kitchen workers to enjoy. The rest was a group of people gathered around and started to eat.

In such a hot and hard-to-be-preserving weather, we were very excited whether it was the two little girls, the Shui Qingrou and the few little maids. The two little girls had no time to speak and wanted to put the bowl of ice in their arms.

"It's really delicious. My husband has a method to make ice, so why didn't I make it earlier?" Shui Qingrou asked softly while eating.

Chen Xu shook his head: "This method is very consumed, remember not to spread it outside, otherwise the mine slaves and poor people will be the ones suffering and suffering!"

Shui Qingrou nodded slightly and stopped talking.

There is no problem with using saltpeter to make ice, but the consumption is really great. Chen Xu has verified this. Last time he designed Yan Le, in order to create a gloomy and cold environment, Chen Xu used dozens of kilograms of pure potassium nitrate and made several buckets of ice water and poured it into the hall. But even so, the water did not completely freeze, but just some ice. Therefore, if you want to make real ice, you must use a lot of potassium nitrate.

Therefore, although the weather is hot after summer, Chen Xu did not plan to use potassium nitrate to make ice on weekdays. First, it is troublesome, second, the output is limited, and third, the cost is too high. Not only is the journey of these potassium nitrate from mining saltpeter to transport to Xianyang, the journey is long and difficult, but it also requires countless mine slaves and prisoners to work hard. Once this method is spread and let the kings and princes know, I am afraid that the price of enjoying the coolness brought by saltpeter ice in this hot summer is that more mine slaves and prisoners and prisoners work hard day and night in the hot summer.

But after enduring for so long, Chen Xu finally couldn't help it today.

The price of going to TM is too high. I am also a prince, prince, prince, and noble, representing a noble. I am born an exploiting class. And the weather is so hot. What's wrong with me, a marquis, eating some ice?

What's more, he hid in the room and made it. As long as he didn't say it, no one could force himself to say it. But even so, Chen Xu still gave a few words to the two little girls and the little maid.

While eating ice cubes and chatting, the two little girls no longer shouted that they were hot. Half of the jar of ice cubes was finally eaten clean. Finally, even the remaining ice water was added with a little honey and drank it clean.
