"How can there be no firewood?"

Li Jing was very puzzled. In the huge Zhanxiang City, the wood from the houses and platforms could be dismantled and used as firewood. How could he not even be able to cook a meal?

"General, if you don't believe it, you can go and see it for yourself." Liu Xi felt very aggrieved, as if he had lied.

Li Jing followed Liu Xi into the city. Along the way, they passed by a defensive area that was full of stone houses and was crumbling. They bypassed this area before entering the inner area of ​​Zhanxiang City.

"arrive."

What Li Jing saw before him was a barren, bare expanse of land: "Is this the inner city?"

Li Jing couldn't believe it at all. Zhanxiang City in the East was also a famous city. The bandits of the Tang Dynasty entered the city to do business and sent back messages saying that there were countless beauties in Zhanxiang City and the towering pavilions were extremely gorgeous. There were even folk rumors that Zhanxiang City was a small Chang'an.

This is what little Chang'an looks like, with a bright glow all over it.

What is the reason?

It was because after Li Bai smashed the big hole, a huge impact rushed into the city, and the stone houses for defense outside the city were shattered, not to mention the wooden buildings in the city, which were naturally blown away.

All the lanterns and braziers were overturned, and a raging fire spread for three or four hours. Zhanxiang City is so small, what can be left after the fire with the night wind?

"There is indeed no firewood in the city. Let's not even talk about whether the meal can be cooked now. The most urgent problem is heating." Liu Xi's concerns are justified.

Even if the soldiers are strong enough to fight, they have to stay in Xiangcheng for nearly five days. How can they survive?

For a moment, Li Jing was in a dilemma.

"How many wooden houses are left now?" Li Jing said in a worried tone.

"Three thousand brothers are crowded into thirty rooms, and three thousand light cavalry are settled in the Stone City, which is the warmest and least cramped place. There are no more left." Liu Xi said with a chilling heart.

There were only thirty rooms for three thousand brothers, and one hundred people were crammed into one room, so people were piled up on top of each other even when sleeping.

Although light cavalry are animals, they must not be moved. On the battlefield, light cavalry are companions. It’s okay to lose soldiers, but without the light cavalry, even if there are soldiers, they will be useless.

"Is there not even one room left?" Li Jing asked.

Liu Xi was worried: "There is still one room, but this is the worst option."

"The situation is urgent, so even the worst option will do." Li Jing was also anxious, and he had to save his life.

"The god has another room where he lives alone." Liu Xi said tremblingly, and Li Jing was even more frightened when he heard it.

As soon as Liu Xi finished speaking, Li Jing slapped him in the face.

"You bastard, you dare to set your sights on the gods?"

"Kneel down and admit your mistake to the gods." Li Jing scolded.

Liu Xi fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "God, I was wrong, God, please forgive me."

It hurts just to hear the banging sound.

"Okay, get up."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xi prepared to get up.

Li Jing saw it and yelled: "Did they tell you to get up?" Liu Xi was stunned: "General, you said so."

"I see that you are a habitual liar. You must be punished by military law." Li Jing was about to draw his sword and enforce military law.

"Okay, I said." Li Bai rushed out from the stone house at the back: "Get up."

Liu Xi became even more frightened when he saw it. As expected, this god was everywhere. He kowtowed even louder.

"If you don't get up, I'm going to get really angry." Li Jing kicked Liu Xi and said, "Get up." Liu Xi stood up in fear and trepidation.

"Are you in trouble?" Li Bai said as he walked.

Liu Xi and Li Jing looked at each other, hesitating. Li Bai looked unhappy and said, "What can't a man say?"

Li Jing sighed bitterly: "Don't worry if the gods will laugh at us, but we have no firewood, so cooking and heating have become problems."

Liu Xi sighed, one after another, which made Li Bai feel upset.

"That's it?"

"This little question has stumped the two loyal generals?"

Li Bai laughed loudly, and there was endless sarcasm in his laughter.

A penny can make a hero fall, but you, Li Bai, have a system to support you and are invincible.

What do Li Jing, Liu Xi, and these three thousand cavalrymen have?

Liu Xi said in distress, "There's not even a piece of firewood left. God, I'm afraid you won't be able to have this meal."

Upon hearing this, Li Bai went over and gave Liu Xi a monkey hug: "You are small but courageous, and you are joking with me. This little thing is not difficult for me."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing and Liu Xi's faces lit up instantly: "Deputy Officer Li, do you have any ideas?"

Li Bai laughed: "Liu Xi, call the brothers who don't have important work to come to me, each with a shovel."

Li Jing asked, "What for?"

"Dig the ground."

Although Li Jing didn't understand why he did this, he had to do it: "Liu Xi, do it quickly."

"Brothers, come and gather at my place."

In front of the big pit, three thousand brothers eliminated the important positions, and the rest gathered together, holding shovels, ready to fight.

Li Bai held a compass-shaped mineral detector and walked around the edge of the pit.

"Wrong direction, go down a little."

"It's off the track, go outside for a while."

"It's too much. Please keep an eye on it."

Li Bai was drinking and dancing like he was doing the yangge, looking for the specific location.

"Liu Xi, what is God doing?" Wang An muttered in a low voice.

Liu Xi replied seriously: "Shh, the god is performing a ritual, don't disturb him."

"Found it." Li Bai roared wildly, and the three thousand light cavalry looked in the direction of the sound.

Li Bai took the flagpole and inserted it at the lower side. This was the place closest to the coal. He could see it by digging a little deeper. Fortunately, Li Bai dug such a big hole. Otherwise, he would not be able to find any coal even if he dug manually until the Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

"All troops, listen up! Go down to the pit and start digging."

As soon as Li Jing gave the order, three thousand light cavalrymen slid down the pit wall like dumplings to the marked places and dug hard.

Half an hour later, Liu Xi reported the stones he had dug up; "The latest discovery."

[Ding, the soil content is too high and does not meet the combustion standards. ]

"No, continue."

Another half an hour later, Liu Xi presented new products.

[Ding, the soil content is 30, almost close to the combustion standard. ]

"Come on, it's almost there."

An hour later, Liu Xi was almost dehydrated: "What about this time?"

[Ding, soil content 5, very close. ]

"Liu Xi, just a little bit more."

After a cup of tea, the dark-skinned Liu Xi came with the latest item.

[Ding, combustible mineral material, obtained successfully. ]

"It's him."

Liu Xi fell to the ground exhausted.

"Can this thing keep you warm?"

The three thousand light cavalrymen below were exhausted, having spent several hours just for these black stones?

Li Jing asked, "Officer Li, can this thing keep you warm?"

Li Bai dozed off: "Yes, this thing is called coal."
