Chapter 62
The fire went out, and there was a faint fragrance of alchemy filling the alchemy room.
Looking at the alchemy furnace in front of him, Liu Hong's eyes twitched wildly.
This time, it can’t be another weird pill!
Gritting his teeth and opening the alchemy furnace, the fragrance of elixirs overflowed in an instant, and the fragrance of elixirs filled the whole room.
Every time you take a whiff, you feel like you are about to soar into the sky.
This vision is not comparable to ordinary elixirs.
Liu Hong looked at the nine gray elixirs in the elixir furnace.
【Life Extension Pill】
[Life extension: It can extend life by ten years. If taken multiple times, the effect of the medicine will gradually weaken (golden entry)]
Seeing this effect, Liu Hong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, I made something good without wasting these precious medicinal materials.
After putting away all the elixirs, Liu Hong was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Jiao behind him.
"Sir, if you are free, you can go to Dongjun for a trip. I watched the sky last night. You may be able to meet someone who is destined for you during this trip."
Zhang Jiao said slowly, his face mysterious and unpredictable, a bit like an immortal.
Destined person?
Liu Hong glanced at the other party, puzzled.
"I understand."
Liu Hong agreed, turned around and left.
Destined person?
Hearing what Zhang Jiao said, Liu Hong was really curious.
Anyway, it doesn’t hurt to go there.
The next day.
Liu Hong took Dian Wei to inspect Dongjun. Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, had been waiting for a long time.
Since Liu Hong became the governor of Yanzhou, the position of governor of Dongjun was taken over by Qiao Mao. This man was upright and trustworthy.
Moreover, in Yanzhou, the Qiao family was one of the few noble families who were not hostile to him.
"Welcome, Your Excellency." A group of Dongjun officials, led by Qiao Mao, saluted Liu Hong one by one when they saw him.
"No need to be polite, I'm just patrolling around and doing whatever I need to do."
Liu Hong waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!" Qiao Mao heard the words and followed the good advice.
Immediately let all officials, big and small, return to their posts.
Liu Hong rode his horse to inspect Dongjun.
When passing through the border area of Pingyuan County, a mountain range with no grass growing and the entire mountain was bare caught Liu Hong's attention.
This is generally the case only in mines.
Looking up, I saw that it was indeed a mine.
【Iron Mine】
[Iron Ore: Can produce ordinary iron ore (green entry)]
[Barren: Scarce yield (white entry)]
Liu Hong thought slightly. If the grasslands in Pingyuan County can be cultivated, the mines should also be able to be cultivated!
I took a look at the luck value and saw that there were still a few hundred left, which should be enough.
Refresh directly.
It consumes three opportunities per day plus a few hundred luck points.
Two purple lights emerged.
【Gold Mine】
[Gold Mine: Can produce precious gold ore (purple entry)]
[Wealth: Rich in gold mines, huge output (purple entry)]
As the entries were replaced, the seemingly ordinary mine in front of me directly turned into a gold mine with huge output.
Liu Hong felt calm. Gold cannot be eaten or worn.
To him, it is just a highly valuable ore.
He has no feeling for money, but with this gold mountain, his future plans will be better carried out!
He didn't know what this huge output meant, but it must not be too small!
"Ziman, go back immediately and pass on my order to Zhongde to arrange heavy guarding here."
"At the same time, arrange for personnel to build mines and mine ore!"
Liu Hong ordered Dian Wei on the side.
"Yes, sir!" Dian Wei accepted the order and rode away. He never questioned Liu Hong's orders.
Returning to Dongjun, he came to the governor's mansion at the invitation of Qiao Mao.
"My lord, please come this way."
Qiao Mao led Liu Hong into the house with a smile.
While the two were talking and laughing, two young girls passed by laughing and playing.
After seeing Qiao Mao and Liu Hong, they immediately bowed obediently.
"Qiao Ying, I've met my uncle."
"Qiao Qian, I have met my uncle."
Xiao Qiao's face turned red, which seemed to be caused by the fight just now.
"This is the Governor."
Qiao Mao looked at Xiao Qiao and said with a smile.
"I've met the Governor."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiao quickly saluted.
The two stood together and looked at Liu Hong from time to time.
They were in Yanzhou, but they often heard about the reputation of the governor, so they were naturally a little curious.
Liu Hong was also sizing up Big and Little Qiao at this time. Golden light flashed above their heads, and there were two or three golden entries on each of them.
Could this be the destined person that Zhang Jiao mentioned?
Liu Hong remained calm on the surface.
"Yuan Wei, these two are..."
Qiao Mao immediately bowed his hands.
"Sir, these two girls are the daughters of my brother. The brother passed away due to illness and left behind two daughters. I have been asked to take care of them."
Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded, thinking quickly.
These two women are probably the Big and Little Joes in history.
"Have you ever been married?"
"Never married."
Qiao Mao shook his head and replied.
Unmarried, these two words suddenly filled Liu Hong's mind with many thoughts.
These are Xiao Qiao, two stunning beauties that even Boss Cao wants to lock up.
Although Xiao Qiao has just grown up now and does not yet have that charming, mature and graceful attitude, can't all this be developed?
It's a pity to miss it like this.
But marrying two people seems a bit presumptuous. Maybe Qiao Mao, an old boy, will fall out with him directly.
Just as Liu Hong was hesitating about how to speak.
Qiao Mao on the side took the initiative to speak.
"Sir, I heard that you have a grandson named Liu Bei. Is he ever married?"
Xuande?
Liu Hong was stunned, not knowing what the other party meant, and shook his head.
Qiao Mao was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Sir, since my two nieces are waiting for marriage, why not marry my sister Qiao Ying to Xuande?"
What? So proactive?
However, how is this boy Xuande worthy?
Liu Hong thought for a moment and guessed what the other party was thinking. He estimated that Qiao Mao, an old boy, thought highly of him, so he wanted to betroth Da Qiao to Liu Bei.
Superficial and vulgar, if he wants to invest, he can just say it directly, why not beat around the bush?
To be betrothed to Xuande, that's not to sacrifice the near and far away, just betrothed to him directly!
The relationship can get even closer.
After all, if the other party is so enthusiastic, he will not refuse.
Liu Hong coughed lightly and said, "Xuan De has a stubborn character and has no ambition. I'm afraid he is not a good match. However, I do have a better idea."
When Qiao Mao heard this, he raised his hands in surprise and asked.
"Please give me some advice, sir."
"I still lack a few concubines in my house, so why not betroth your sister to me."
After speaking, Liu Hong glanced at Qiao Mao's face.
I have taken the initiative to give you the opportunity to invest. If you don’t know how to grasp it, it will be your fault.
Qiao Mao was stunned when he heard this. He was not angry, but fell into deep thought.
Looking at Liu Hong, he saw that although he was over a hundred years old, he was as strong as in his prime.
Judging from his mental appearance, he might be able to live longer than him.
It is rumored that Liu Hong's house took in many concubines and gave birth to children.
Marrying his niece to him seemed like a good choice.
I hadn't thought of it this way before because I hadn't turned this corner in my mind. After all, he was a centenarian Rui.
Introducing wives and concubines to him feels a bit ridiculous just thinking about it.
But as long as you accept this setting, is there any better choice than Liu Hong in Yanzhou?
He holds a high position, has a distinguished reputation, and is not lacking in literary skills and military skills.
Except for her age, other accessories are simply the top criteria for choosing a mate in this era.
"If you want, sir, that's fine. I just don't know which of these sisters you like?"
Qiao Mao was so generous and generous, but Liu Hong was a little embarrassed.
These two sisters are extremely beautiful in the world, with their own beauty and temperament. Whichever one you choose would be disrespectful to the other.
Only a child makes a choice, he is an adult, so...
He wants them all!
Think for a moment.
"I see the deep love between sisters. It would be unsightly to break them up. It would be better to betroth them all to me."
"This...is fine."
Qiao Mao hesitated for a moment, and felt that what Liu Hong said was reasonable, so he immediately agreed.
These days, a good match is better than anything else.
Besides, if the big and small Qiao are all together, they will be able to take care of each other in the future.
Nowadays, wars are raging all over the Han Dynasty, and it is in troubled times. The two nieces are very beautiful and have been coveted by countless people before. Marrying Liu Hong can be regarded as a good place.
