Chapter 47: Snatching Resources
Chapter 47 Resource Grabbing
Li Liehuo has been teaching Li Hao the use of the Fire Cloud Palm for a long time recently, Li Hao is worthy of being a genius in martial arts, and in just a few days, he has basically mastered the essence of the Fire Cloud Palm, as for the rest, it takes time to hone. In addition, Li Liehuo is also helping Manniu improve his dark refining body fighting technique Black Sand Steel Body, Li Liehuo now has countless fighting skills and thousands of secret methods in his mind, although these ninety-nine percent Li Liehuo should be too poor to cultivate, but it is still possible to learn from them to help Manniu improve his exercises.
"Agni, we've had a mission lately. Early one morning, Li Hao suddenly said to Li Liehuo.
"Isn't our mission to snatch the identity cards of the children of the other family?" Li Liehuo asked with some confusion.
"Snatching the ID card? That's just one of our tasks. Agni, do you know what this border fortress is for?" Li Hao asked with a solemn look at Li Liehuo.
"Needless to say, of course, it is used to fend off the enemy's attack. Li Liehuo replied without thinking.
But to Li Liehuo's surprise, Li Hao only said one word when he heard it: "Wrong!"
Li Hao's answer surprised Li Liehuo, he really couldn't think of any other purpose for this huge fortress than to defend against enemy attacks.
"Senior Brother Li Hao, then you say, this fortress is not used for defense, but for what it is for?" Li Liehuo asked puzzled.
"Defense, what defense? Is there still a fight for this barren land in the desert? In fact, the real purpose of this fortress is to rob resources. Li Hao replied firmly.
"What resources to rob? We have neither minerals nor fertile land on the desert, what resources can we rob?" Li Liehuo asked puzzled.
"Agni, you say, what is the most precious thing in our burning desert?" Li Hao asked as he stared at Li Liehuo carefully.
"Of course it's water!" Li Liehuo replied without thinking, although in the City Lord's Mansion, Li Liehuo had never felt the lack of water, but what Li Liehuo heard most from ordinary people was the question of whether there was enough water this month.
Hearing Li Liehuo's answer, Li Hao nodded, shook his head again, and said, "You're right, but it's not entirely true." ”
"Please also ask Senior Brother Li Hao to make it clear. Li Liehuo was aroused by his interest and hurriedly asked.
"Water is indeed the most precious thing in the burning desert, but there are two most precious things in the burning desert, and you are only half right. Li Hao compared two fingers, and then withdrew another finger and said.
"What's the most precious thing besides water?" asked Li Liehuo suspiciously, he really couldn't think of anything in the Burning Desert that could be compared to the preciousness of water.
In the Burning Desert, the most precious things are water and the "Prosperous Road"! If there is no water, then we will not be able to survive, and if there is no prosperous road, then the twelve main cities of our Cangyan Empire will become as barren as the wild land, and even the towns will be difficult to form. Li Hao looked at Li Liehuo with a smile and said.
"Yes, why didn't I think that the "Prosperous Road" is the absolute income of almost all cities, and without the Prosperous Road, these towns would definitely not be able to operate. Li Liehuo looked suddenly enlightened, but then he had new doubts: "But, what does this have to do with our fortress? This fortress doesn't seem to have become a place for merchants to settle down, right?"
Hearing Li Liehuo's words, Li Hao looked at Li Liehuo with an expression that you didn't even know this: "Agnihuo, don't you know that our border fortress is located on the north bank of the Rhine River, and almost all the water in Xianyang City is transported from the Rhine River." If it is a year when the Rhine River is abundant, of course, there is no need to compete for water, but if there is a year when the Rhine River is low, this fortress comes in handy, in this fortress, it can store enough water for the city of Xianyang for six months, and more than 10,000 people in the town can all participate in the water transportation, which is very important for grabbing water. ”
"So that's the case, then what's the matter with the "Prosperous Road" you said, and what does this fortress have to do with the "Prosperous Road"?" Li Liehuo continued to act as Xiaobai.
"The relationship between this is big, you know, the road leading to Yandu from here on the "prosperous road" is not only our Xianyang City, and this border fortress is the gate of our Xianyang City. You say, among the many forks in the road, do they choose to pay the fee and take the "prosperous road" with a fortress, or choose to take the road with nothing?" asked Li Hao with a smile.
"Of course, I chose to have a fortress, those merchants don't care about these two tolls, the road with a fortress must be much safer, at least, if you encounter an attack by desert thieves or monsters near the fortress, you can also ask the army of the fortress for help. Li Liehuo said as a matter of course.
Hearing Li Liehuo's words, Li Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Then now, you finally know the function of this fortress, right?"
Indeed, the role of this fortress is as Li Hao said, and what Li Liehuo said before that the fortress is used to resist the attack of the hostile main city family is completely redundant.
The sphere of influence of each main city has remained uncertain for thousands of years, and if a battle breaks out between the two families on the border for land, then the main city behind these two families will definitely not remain silent. Therefore, the main city did not give instructions, and neither the Li family nor the Zhao family dared to seize each other's land.
"Senior Brother Li Hao, you said that we were going out on a mission today, but what kind of mission is it? Could it be related to the two most precious things in the burning desert?" Li Liehuo asked with some expectation.
"Hehe, you guessed it, the water level of the Rhine is relatively shallow today, so we have to dig a ditch in advance to divert the water into the fortress for storage. However, the two families on the other side are probably not happy to see our Li family occupy so much water, so Commander Soros asked us to accompany the two flag leaders on a trip, and he and the remaining two flag leaders have other things to do. Li Hao said to Li Liehuo.
"Hmm, you said two families, are there two families on the other side, and what other family is there besides the Zhao family?" Li Liehuo asked puzzled.
"Not only on the other side, we also have two families, it's just that Xiangyang City, which is allied with us, has not sent the children of the family out this year. As for the other side, it is the Zhao family and the Zhang family, you have already seen the Zhao family, and even the first person in their family was arrested by your kid, and I believe that it will not be able to set off any waves. However, the Zhang family is more tricky, the Zhang family is a medium-sized family with four cities, almost every time the children of the children are tried in the past, they will have bronze-level family children to participate, and even sometimes, they will send two or three bronze-level children out, and it is precisely because of this that in the past family trials, our two major families were often eliminated by more people and fewer people who passed the test. When Li Hao said this, a hint of belligerent light flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to meet the master of the Zhao family for a while.
"My good boy, the family of the four cities, is really enough. Senior Brother Li Hao, you are right, we should strike first, otherwise, when the Zhang family, the big stomach king with four mouths, comes, we will have to drink up our water. Li Liehuo said a little nervously.
"Hehe, I think so too. Let's go, the two flag leaders are already waiting for us outside, you prepare yourself, I will call the children of our family, and we will meet at the gate of the fortress in a moment. Li Hao commanded Li Liehuo and walked outside.
"Brute, let's go, let's go. Li Liehuo didn't need to prepare at all, he just needed to take the thug of Manniu and the little guy Wulu with him, Li Liehuo was going to take Ling'er out with him to relax, but when he thought that he might have to fight with the other party today, it would not be good if the blood flew straight and stained Ling'er's clothes for a while.
"Grandma, there is finally a fight, and I can be idle and panicked these days. As soon as the brute bull heard Li Liehuo's call, he hurriedly rushed out with his giant axe.
"Old Niu, I see that you have been teaching my family a lot of fun every day these days, and you still say that you are idle and panicked? Li Liehuo said with a smile.
"Hehe......" Hearing Li Liehuo say this, the brute cow touched the back of his head in embarrassment, these days, he continued to teach a group of Li family children in the name of teaching, and achieved a double-digit high output value of pandas per day, Li Liehuo and Li Hao turned a blind eye to this, these Li family children used to be too smooth and too smooth in the family, and they should give them some hardship.
As soon as Li Liehuo and Manniu arrived at the gate of the fortress, they heard a capable female voice sound: "Well, now that everyone has arrived, everyone is ready to go." ”
It was Wen Tingfang, the head of the First Banner Regiment who spoke, Wen Tingfang was riding on a white horse at this time, wearing black leather armor and still wearing a black veil, but the seductive and criminal sexy figure under the black leather armor was still so hot.
"Hehe, I can't think of it, I can't think of it, the two flag leaders Li Hao said turned out to be Wen Tingfang and Russell, and this Russell is all about it, it's all because he plays soy sauce. But this Wen Tingfang is a beauty, no, I haven't seen her true face in Lushan, how can I say that she is a beauty. But to be honest, this chick's figure is absolutely nothing to say, the concave place is concave, the convex place is convex, ouch is really old and domineering, the leather armor is about to break him!No, when do you have to find a chance to see her true face, I hope you don't disappoint me......" Li Liehuo followed at the back of the troops, his eyes fell motionlessly on the two pairs of roundness in front of Wen Tingfang, and he didn't know where he flew to for a long time with thousands of thoughts in his heart, but Li Liehuo's mouth left three feet of joy to show that this guy definitely didn't think about anything good in his heart, and he was definitely thinking about that kind of very impure thing.
