51. Leave Ye City
Although the time of Shen was already halfway through, the city was still full of people, and the shops along the street were still thriving from the horse-drawn carriages. Cloth shops, garment stores, rice shops, rouge gouache shops, jewelry stores, north and south goods stores can be described as row upon row, but the most lively is the major wine shops and tea houses, it is dinner time, Xiao Er stands at the door of large and small restaurants and warmly greets business.
Where there is the slightest shadow of war.
"Sixth master, I'm afraid that not all the people in the city are natives." Ylang asked.
"Yes, this is a trade transit point between the north and several neighboring countries, and there are a lot of merchants from all over the country, otherwise it would be so prosperous." Flower Enlightenment Silence.
"How far is it from Fancheng?"
Hua Wulin looked up at Yilan, "It's less than two hundred miles." ”
"By the way, Sixth Master, do you know how much the city's taxes are in a year?" Ylang asked.
Hua Wushan frowned, "Because this city is a place of trade transit, it is the most important source of tax revenue in northern China, accounting for almost one-tenth of our country's total tax revenue. ”
Yilan nodded, "The infantry is a day and night, and the cavalry is more than two hours, as long as Fancheng is captured, one-tenth of the financial and tax revenue of the Li Kingdom will be at your fingertips." Even if you can't take Liye, as long as you can get to the city, you can make your country lose one-tenth of its fiscal and tax revenue, and it can also hit our country's national strength hard. What a ploy. ”
"Ylan, what's wrong?" Hua Wushan obeyed something, and suddenly became a little nervous.
"Where is there something wrong, but there is a big mistake, sixth master, I don't think Liye's Taishou is very reliable, or if he is mixed in with so many spies, he will not tell the emperor, and he will not find a way to stop it." Ylan smiled.
The carriage turns into a nondescript courtyard and leads to a slightly dilapidated gate, which is spacious and clean.
Hua Wushan got out of the car, turned around and helped Yilan down, and the hidden guard who traveled all the way took the two of them to the room where they were ready.
"Yilan, how do you know that there are a lot of spies in Lu Dao."
"I just looked at the pedestrians on the road, many of them walked calmly, had a vague breath, and were armed with martial arts. There are also people who walk upright and fast, they should be battle-hardened people, and in a large city dominated by trade, the proportion of people who practice martial arts is a bit too high. "Ylang Dao.
Hana stopped before she could step through the door.
"Chase the wind, send someone to investigate, I want the result within two hours." Hana Wu said eagerly.
"The little girl is very observant." Hua Wulin changed her smile and rubbed Yilan's head dotingly, "Let's eat, I will reward you for the banquet in the harvest building, okay." ”
"Uh-huh, it's good." Hearing the eating, Yilan immediately cooperated with a big expectant smile.
There is a big table of noodles, eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes, and there is a big warm pot among them, but in addition to Hua Wulin and Yilan, there are only chasing the wind and chasing the shadow as companions.
"It's hearty, it's so fragrant." Ylang exclaimed.
"I will enter Fancheng tomorrow, and it may be difficult to have such a hearty meal every day when I get to the front line." Hua Wushan took a piece of meat and carefully fed it to Yilan's mouth.
Yilan took it and shook his hand generously, "How can I be so picky, I can live with a Hu Cake every day, and when the war starts, the sixth master only needs to think about the battle situation with all his might, and there is no need to worry about me at all." ”
Hua Wushan showed a soft smile, she liked Yilan's independent personality, never asked him for anything, was broad-minded and had a unique vision, but always put his interests first. She doesn't pretend to be delicate and dependent in front of him like most ladies from the ladies, but when something happens, she is short-sighted, arbitrary, and crying and making trouble when she leaves countless troubles. often said that it sounded good for his sake, but everything was for the benefit of himself or his mother's family, which put him in a dilemma.
As a prince, a prince who once led troops and was once at the center of the whirlpool of contention, all this is too much.
And as a person who has lost in this struggle, the warmth and coldness of this world are even more chilling.
I couldn't help but put my hand on Yilan's knee, and the feeling of being protected by someone was so beautiful, in fact, everyone liked it. Although he felt sorry for Yilan being hurt, he didn't regret the temptation of her that day, what he wanted was absolute loyalty and reliability, and Yilan's performance was very gratifying. "After riding a horse for so many days, is your knee injury healed? Wait to help you take a bath, and by the way, reapply the wound. Hua Wulone's tone was so soft that it could drip water.
"Ahem, ahem." Yilan's face was flushed, so that she had been murdered by that piece of meat, and she squinted her eyes in resentment. Peeking at it, the two people next to them were calm and composed, struggling to fill their mouths with big fish and meat, and their appetite was not affected at all.
Thoroughly convinced.
"Prince" Yilan Ke is not so thick-skinned, "What are you going to do with this Taishou?" "Diverting the topic, as long as the business is mentioned, Hua Wushan can behave relatively normally.
