Chapter 1101 - 924, Exchange
Xiao Yeyang returned from Xintunwei, and Daohua briefly mentioned the matter of petroleum to him.
Xiao Yeyang expressed astonishment, "Petroleum? You mean rock paint, right? I’ve read about it in books. It’s a type of oil that can be ignited for illumination. Does Xiliang also have this substance?"
Daohua quickly nodded, "Lifu knows where it is; let him take us there."
Xiao Yeyang took the matter of petroleum seriously, as he had read in military texts about people using petroleum to launch fire attacks on enemies. If petroleum was truly useful, then Xiliang’s defensive capabilities could be greatly enhanced.
However, he disagreed with Daohua joining him.
Daohua shook Xiao Yeyang’s arm, "There’s not much going on at home right now, I’m too bored staying at home all the time; please take me with you."
Xiao Yeyang consulted Gu Jian, and after hearing that Daohua’s health was well-maintained and she could go out appropriately, he agreed to take her along.
Afterward, Xiao Yeyang called for Wang Lifu at the Xiao Residence, carefully inquiring about the location where the petroleum was encountered. Upon learning that it was some distance from Ganzhou City, preparations were made before he took Daohua there.
By late October, the temperature in Xiliang had already dropped significantly.
In the carriage, Daohua cuddled in Xiao Yeyang’s embrace, holding a hand warmer.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but say, "You’re afraid of the cold yet still come out; isn’t this just asking for trouble?"
