414. The wrath of the Xiangye
In Heavenly Sword City, Li Hugo and Situ Wuwu were shopping for things together, and the two of them were able to buy a lot of things by virtue of the containers and magic weapons on their bodies.
After all, the fatigue of the long journey must require a lot of physical support, and there is not much food left now, and the grain transportation road from Tianshen Mountain to Pingjin Pass has long been cut off by the four princes.
Now they need to replenish their food, and it is not enough to rely on chickens, ducks, and fish from hunting, they need flour, they need rice, and they need something to eat.
If it was an army, it would definitely be impossible to blend into Heavenly Sword City, but Li Hugo and Situ Wuwu were two young people, and in the eyes of outsiders, these two people looked like husband and wife, and they also looked like brothers and sisters, so they were not so conspicuous.
Inside Heavenly Sword City, it is obviously different from Cloudsdale City, which focuses on entertainment, Cloudsdale is a bustling metropolis, but Heavenly Sword City is different, because Celestial Sword City is a military city, and there are some soldiers and officials everywhere in it, walking around.
Relatively speaking, the number of ordinary people is not very large.
In addition to iron, there is also salt, and almost all those who sell salt on the market need to be recorded, and Li Hugo's Ali mother can buy very limited things, fortunately, there is salt among them, otherwise selling salt in Heavenly Sword City, the two of them will inevitably be exposed.
Salt is an important war resource in this world or in Li Hugo's original world, because salt is a human necessity, an important material to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, and an important source of national taxes, so salt was an important war resource in ancient times.
Mainly because of the low productivity in the agricultural era, there are two industries that are related to the lifeblood of the country, the importance of coinage and salt, the importance of financial rights, needless to say, salt is a necessity of life, people can not eat sugar, sauce and vinegar, but must not eat salt, and the salt production area at that time was so rare, a few salt-producing processes are in the hands of a few people, and some corrupt ministers of salt transportation in history are still rich and rival the country, if private monopolies, then wouldn't it be possible to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?
The salt tax was also an important revenue at the time, and unless you didn't want to rule the country anymore, you had to make it a way for the country to rule the economy, just as oil was as important to the country today, and salt at that time was even more important than today's oil.
Oil is the blood of modern warfare, and salt is the blood of soldiers.
So in front of the salt shop, there were already a lot of soldiers standing, and there was a long queue.
"We don't buy salt?" Situ Wuwu also knew how powerful it was, so he asked.
Li Hugo smiled: "If we have it, we won't buy it, and this thing is too conspicuous, let's go...... Let's go to the grain store first. ”
"Good. Situ Wuwu has absolute trust in Li Hugo, at this time came to the grain store, Li Hugo bought a lot of grain and rice, a full 100,000 stones, and these rice grains were also collected by Li Hugo, the boss also made a lot of money, he is a businessman, no matter who the other party is, and Li Hugo bought so much, then it can be said that Li Hugo is his nobleman.
For the nobles, where does the owner of the rice grain store dare to offend.
After Li Hugo received the things in the storage magic weapon, he never expected that the curfew would start now.
"When the sun goes down, the gates will not go together. The grain store shopkeeper said, "Recently, there seems to be a war outside the city, there is an enemy team, I heard that it is Dajin's, is wandering around, Zhenxi Wangfu has properly handled the inside and outside of the city, if the two want to leave, then it will be early tomorrow morning, but don't come out at night, our Tianjian City has a curfew at night, once someone comes out, they will be taken to interrogate." The shopkeeper said.
Li Hugo smiled: "Thank you boss, do you know where is the inn here?"
The boss put the silver carefully: "There are two inns in this place, the first is at the crossroads, but this inn is the inn where the military masters are stationed, sometimes the military masters are unreasonable, so persuade the two, if you are simply looking for a place to live, you should go to the small inn at the corner." ”
After getting the boss's prompt, Li Hugo gave the boss another tip and left in style.
At first, Situ Wuwu also wondered where Li Hugo was going in a hurry, but soon she knew that Li Hugo seemed to have other purposes for this trip.
No matter what Li Hugo's purpose was, Situ Wuwu didn't ask, just followed silently.
On Yanjing's side, Situ Wushu's face was pale, and he looked at the two disciples in front of him, Song Qinglong and Yang Xuanwu were both kneeling on the ground.
Yang Xuanwu said unwillingly: "Teacher, obviously we have returned victorious, but why haven't we got the glory we deserve, but we are still reprimanded for standing here?"
"You two are really angry with the old man, you underestimated the enemy and almost lost, the enemy suddenly withdrew his troops, you are winning without a fight, but you still want the old man to reward him for his light work? Do you know, why can you get a chance to breathe?" Situ Wushu was so angry that he looked at the two in front of him, and he had a feeling of hating iron but not steel.
Song Qinglong was very innocent, he said: "Teacher, we are much better than Li Hugo, I heard that Li Hugo has not come back yet, he is estimated to have sacrificed his life for the country, and the two of us brothers came back with soldiers and horses, this is ......"
"Shut up, your life was saved by Li Hugo, he broke through the Pingjin Pass within a month of 100,000 people, and now he is rushing directly towards the enemy's lair, do you know that you can come back safely, it is all thanks to him?" Situ Wushu said angrily, "But you are okay, Song Qinglong, you actually refused to allow our own people to come in, and put 10,000 of them, this is not one or two hundred, these 10,000 people were all shot by you!" This army has been on the battlefield, and they are all a group of veterans, and veterans are a treasure, do you know?! But you're good, you're ...... You've annihilated them all! You're ...... You're so mad at me!"
"Teacher, I'm also just in case, in case it's the enemy's spy, wouldn't it be ......" Song Qinglong didn't say any further, because the old Xiangye's face was already quite disgusted.
Situ Wushu sighed: "Now you obviously know that Li Hugo's army is trapped in the territory of Daliao, but you choose to stand by because of this merit issue, you are making the old man too disappointed, disappointed!"
Situ Wushu said it from the bottom of his heart, and he said it quite melancholy, which made the two brothers around him very embarrassed, and they were almost speechless.
