"Those who can't live beyond the barrier. Yu Tian has always been preparing to attack the Jade Gate Pass. Their eyes and ears are everywhere."

Lu Qing suddenly fell silent. Why was this happening?

What kind of bad luck did she have? It actually came to this dynasty, and at this critical moment, was there not a place for peace in the world?

"Stay at Jade Gate Pass, I will guarantee your safety."

The warm air was close to his ears, but Lu Qing's eyes were filled with tears. Even his voice was aggrieved.

"You tried to kill me yesterday."

"I'll never kill you." The arm around her tightened, "Yesterday was just …" "I'll scare you …"

"You're lying!" Seeing the arm in front of him, Lu Qing lowered his head and bit down.

"Hiss — good girl, I'll personally send you out tomorrow."

Yu Mingchuan hugged him even tighter.

By the time that large carriage arrived at Luo Bu Lake, the sun had already set. Lu Qing had already taught them how to make several hundred pounds of salt.

The force of the charcoal had reached a saturation point, and Lu Qing stopped them.

However, Fang Jiming soon brought a few people to make their own charcoal. Even if it was done well, it wouldn't be done that fast and would take a few days. Liu Chen's theory was that from today onwards, he would make salt and take the materials on the spot so as to avoid attracting attention from others by bringing them here from Jade Gate City.

In the afternoon, they beat up a few yellow sheep, then washed them and roasted them by the lake. With the salt, the smell was different. The fragrance permeated everywhere and even attracted a few wolves.

Now that the sky was about to turn dark, Yu Mingchuan had no intention of leaving.

When all the salt had been loaded, Yu Mingchuan asked Fang Jiming to bring a bag of salt back to Jade Gate Pass. The rest were all loaded onto carriages and shipped to the west by Liu Chen.

Lu Qing didn't know what they were going to do. All he knew was that Liu Chen accepted the mission solemnly with a mischievous smile on his face. He then brought five people with him and hurriedly drove the carriage away.

After that, Fang Jiming found a place to shelter himself from the wind and started a fire in the middle of a large group of poplar trees.

The few of them sat around the table and began to roast the yellow sheep.

After eating their fill, Lu Qing asked why they didn't return to the Jade Gate Pass. If they returned before dark, it would only take them half the night to arrive.

"There are many wolves outside the city, so Madam should be careful when you come out tomorrow."

In the firelight, Lu Qing could see that Yu Mingchuan's eyes were sparkling and clear. Within his eyes, there was a smile and a cold intent, but it was just as mesmerizing.

When the sky turned completely dark, Fang Jiming brought his men to clean up all traces of them. Some of them went to pack, some of them went to throw in the lake, and some of them went behind a huge rock that was corroded by sand.

It didn't take long before he saw a few figures by the lake. The reflection of the scimitar was especially striking in the dark of the night.

"Yu Tian." Yu Mingchuan said to the nervous Lu Qing beside him.

"What do they want?"

"A bunch of wild dogs hunting everywhere. Tonight, we will also be hunters again."

A cold smile spread across Yu Mingchuan's lips, and a soft sizzling sound rang out. Lu Qing saw the sword in Yu Mingchuan's hand.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the sword. This was a top-grade steel sword. This kind of weapon was quite rare in this era.

However, Lu Qing only raised his eyebrows. The kitchen knives of future generations were always sharper than this.

"Madam, since you are too weak, how about you just stay here and watch your husband slaughter the dogs?"

"Can you not call me a lady? I won't be your wife when I get back. " She already had Tiger Finger on her hand. It might not be of much use here, but it was still better than nothing.

"It's still early for a couple to spend one day together for a hundred days." Yu Mingchuan laughed again, but there was no longer any coldness in his voice.
