Chapter 82: It's Raining
"Also, the lockdown can now be lifted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Nian Jia seemed to think of something halfway through, so he said it.
"Oh?" The five masters didn't react much, Nian Jia could say it, so he naturally had his plans.
Seeing a team of patrols from afar, Nian Jia shouted loudly.
The eleven patrolmen of the team ran over quickly panting and saluted Nian Jia and the five masters: "My subordinates have seen the general and the prefect. ”
"By order of me and the general, martial law will be lifted in all streets, and only the main roads and paths leading to the gates will be blocked." Nian Jia looked at the patrol soldiers all with sweaty faces, and the clothes on their bodies were already soaked, but they didn't take off the armor on their bodies, and they still wore them, which would make them physically exhausted faster, and they were more likely to suffer from heat stroke.
"Aren't you hot?" Nian Jia asked with a smile.
The patrol team replied, "Hot, but we didn't receive an order to remove the armor from our bodies." ”
Indeed, in wartime, if you don't have an order to untie your equipment without permission, you can be disposed of in accordance with military law at any time if you are seen by your commander.
"Good." Nian Jia glanced approvingly at the soldiers of the entire squad, and then said, "Go back and convey my orders." ”
"This ......" ordered the blockade of martial law is the order of the city lord's mansion, although the prefect controls the entire Xiliang City, but it is also responsible for civil affairs, even if it is a general, he is only responsible for military affairs and control soldiers, but although he is a soldier, but now the issuer of the decree is the city lord's mansion, which is more senior than the general and the prefect, so the captain of the patrol team is still very difficult for this order.
The fifth master frowned: "Why don't you go yet?" ”
Seeing the appearance of the squad leader, Nian Jia smiled and said, "Is it useless what I said to the general?" ”
Seeing the displeased looks of the two superiors, the squad leader immediately knelt down and said in fear: "My subordinates are dead, I really don't dare to contradict the general and the prefect, but the order to block the whole city for martial law was issued by the city lord's mansion, can the general and the prefect take out the order of the city lord, so that the subordinates can also act conveniently." ”
"Ah, it seems that the two of us are really not useful." Nian Jia's face was not unhappy, after all, the soldiers were also strictly disciplined, and he couldn't blame them casually.
"The city lord has an order, see for yourself." The five masters took out a token and lit it in front of the team leader.
This type of token is not a block but a long branch, and is used to convey commands, unlike the castle lord token.
The patrol squad leader raised his hands above his head to greet the token in the hands of the five masters, and said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”
The fifth master threw the token into the squad leader's hand and said impatiently, "Go quickly." ”
"Yes." The eleven patrolmen immediately retired and hurriedly stood up, but they did not immediately shout in the streets and alleys to lift martial law, after all, the content of the city lord's order was to lift martial law and block the avenues and paths leading to the city gates, so it was necessary to notify the other soldiers to block the road to the city gates, and then notify the people and merchants in the city to lift martial law.
"Wait."
The patrol that was running out was stopped by Nian Jia again.
The team leader ran back respectfully, bowed his head and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Tell everyone, don't worry, it's going to rain later." Nian Jia still told them the news, otherwise before the soldiers could hold on, their confidence would be crushed by the heat.
"Ugh." The squad leader was stunned and responded.
The ten soldiers behind him were all stunned, it's raining? Wait, will it rain on such a clear sky?
The team leader was a little slow to react, but now he also woke up: "Will it rain?" Great, great, great. Suddenly, he was a little out of shape in front of Nian Jia and the five masters.
"Let's go." The fifth lord was very impatient, and turned around and left, and Nian Jia followed, ignoring the patrol no more.
It didn't take long for the whole city to be lifted, but when the players came out of the shops or inns, they found that the streets were hotter, and they walked towards the rivers and wells like stoves, but when they got there, they found that the rivers and wells were dry.
Many players suddenly felt bad: Could it be that there was a drought in Xiliang City?
When I wanted to leave and go to another place to escape the heat, I found that all the main roads were heavily guarded, and there were strict orders that no one was allowed to pass, and everyone knew what would happen to those who violated the order.
However, this time Nianjia did say a little bit of leakage, that is, he didn't say what about the people who broke in, so the soldiers didn't have orders and wouldn't kill indiscriminately, and in such a hot weather, they didn't bother to do it, so it was better to keep it if they had this strength.
"Let's go, let's go to the yamen and ask for an explanation." After instigation, many merchants and players went to the yamen.
"A group of fools, rushing to the yamen like this, they don't want to do business in Xiliangcheng in the future, hehe." Say to the business with a good relationship next to you.
Originally, this merchant was going to follow, but he was pulled by Yiyi Waiting, and not only himself, as long as he had a good relationship with Yiyi, those who were closer were all pulled.
After hearing Yiyi's words, many merchants suddenly had an epiphany, fortunately they didn't follow, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
So they thanked Yiyi for his work.
Then spread ten, ten spread hundreds, everyone retreated, and the people who originally agitated saw that there were only more than a dozen scattered people left, didn't they go to death like this? Originally, I thought that there were many people and I didn't dare to do anything to myself, but once there were fewer people, it was different...... In the end, I also dispelled the idea.
The people of the merchant house have never left the store.
Since he made a covenant with Nian Jia, he had to fulfill it, and he also wanted people to know that the rain was his own, so he naturally couldn't rain behind closed doors, so he really wore a robe and set up a desk in front of the shop in the business house, ready to ask for rain.
For the act of measuring and fighting, it has attracted a lot of people.
Everyone is so hot that they are about to hang up, what are you doing with your heart?
I was a little puzzled when I was looking at it, I can't see this? Are you stupid in doing business?
But there is still an explanation or two.
"Didn't you see me wearing a robe and a peachwood sword? It's not an obvious request for rain, you still need to ask. ”
As a result, as soon as the words were spoken, the audience was silent, and after a while, a thunderous laugh erupted.
His face was a little dark, but he didn't know so much about these people, and when it rained, he would see if you could laugh or not.
A merchant stood next to him and said, "Do you think you really want to ask for rain?" ”
"Yes."
For the direct affirmation of waiting for work, merchants are still very surprised and wonder why?
"Don't do uncertain business with a measured bucket, once the rain comes, then it means that it has helped Xiliangcheng to relieve the siege, and on this premise, Xiliangcheng must have said something to the heart of the bucket, or promised any benefits, otherwise the heart of the bucket is not so kind, and it will not come out to be embarrassed, to put it bluntly, the heart of the bucket will not fight an uncertain battle." After speaking, he walked towards the city lord's mansion.
In fact, I want to know what Xiliangcheng promised to Xinhuailiangdou to make Xinhuailiangdou come out to perform a monkey show.
However, while waiting for work to be sure that it will rain in the heart, he does not think that the heart will really ask for rain, and what he thinks of is what magic weapon he has in his hand, after all, it is the world's leading business group, what treasure will there be?
Absolutely bored, Brother Gui, and Li Gu saw that the Five Masters and Nian Jia were back, and they all stood up and asked, "How is it?" ”
Nian Jia smiled and said, "I sold all the refined iron from the second iron mine. ”
What the? Didn't you say to go to the god of rain? How did it turn into a business deal?
"What's going on?" Absolutely bored said with a frown.
"My lord, now is not the time to talk about business." Li Gu also reminded him on the side, and if the refined iron of the second iron ore was sold, Li Gu would definitely be very happy, after all, it had accumulated too much, and it had suffered a heavy rainstorm last night, I am afraid that it would be easy to rust, and it would be the best thing to sell.
The fifth master did it and said with a smile: "We found the rain god, but we didn't admit it if we fought to death, so we had no choice but to do a business with him, saying that as long as it rained in Xiliang City, we would give the monopoly of the second iron mine to the trading firm......
"Then, I agreed." Absolutely bored and laughed, this is completely taking advantage of yourself.
The density of the refined iron produced by the first iron mine in Xiliang is indeed amazingly high, but I don't know why the refined iron produced by the second iron mine is only a little higher than the general level, and there is really no advantage, so it has been accumulating, and the result is more and more. Anyway, Xiliangcheng has never used the refined iron that has been repeatedly reforged to make items, and all the refined iron produced by the best first iron ore is used.
"Can it really rain?" Li Gu asked in disbelief, not only did this rain come, but also sold the broken iron that had been deposited in the warehouse (well, that's right, in Li Gu's opinion, it was indeed broken iron)? Who is so stupid?
"Really." Nian Jia smiled and nodded, affirmatively.
Holding a peachwood sword in his heart, he said something in his mouth, and circled around the desk, not knowing what he was reading.
However, everyone understood the last sentence.
"Hurry like a law, the rain is coming......" With a very chic posture, he sprinkled a bunch of "human drawing talismans" that he had just drawn with his subordinates (after all, he is a human being, so he can't say that he is a ghost drawing talisman).
In the middle of the night, everyone looked at the air, and the drops of water on the ground dripped down and were evaporated in an instant, but no one bowed their heads, because these were everyone's sweat......
When there was no rain, everyone wanted to laugh at them, but just as they wanted to speak, they felt something dripping from the top of their heads.
"Rain?"
"Lord of the city, Lord of the city...... It's raining, it's raining. ”
Bang la blah.
Absolutely boring, the five masters, your brother, Nian Jia, and Li Gu all stood at the door and looked outside, the blue sky and white clouds were clear, but it was raining heavily.
"It seems that the name of the rain god is really worthy of its name." In the end, absolutely boring said lightly.
"Not only that, this is ordinary rain, different from what I encountered in Gangneung City, this rain is not corrosive, I'm afraid the rain god is not so simple." The five lords added.
Brother Gui shook his head and smiled: "You know from looking at our five brothers, will the ten gods be simple?" ”
