A few people went down to the first floor and walked into the front hall to order food, but they got up too early, and there was still some time before breakfast came out.

"If you don't want to sit down first, let me go to the back and urge you", Xiao Er didn't dare to slack off on these people.

"No need, we still have to hurry, go out and buy some and let's go", Sikong Yue waved his hand and walked out of the inn with his subordinates.

At this time, Gao Town had not yet woken up from its slumber, and there were only some caravans on the side of the street that were in a hurry to prepare their cars, and most of the people had not yet gotten up.

Several people found a noodle stall on the side of the road and sat down, each asked for noodles, and when they were waiting for the noodles to come up, Sikong Yue listened to his subordinates chatting with the two people dressed as merchants at the next table.

"Are you going north, two old brothers?"

Seeing that it was a person who was dressed plainly but behaved well, he replied: "Exactly, our brothers just came back from Beilin some time ago, with a new order, so don't we have to send goods over."

"A few of us are from outside, and yesterday we entered the town and saw that many cars were loaded with iron, stone and gunpowder, why are these things so in demand now?"

"You don't know this, in the past year, the price of iron and stone gunpowder offered by the people of Beilin has exceeded that of tea and silk cloth", the merchant said with his chin at the team of people who were busy loading trucks not far behind him, "Seeing that there is no convoy of Zheng Ji Firm, which is famous in the royal capital, even their family can't refuse the price offered by Beilin."

Sikong Yue turned his head to look at the convoy in his mouth according to the guidance of the merchant, and a caravan outside a large inn on the other side of the road was setting up a caravan and preparing to set off, seeing that there were nearly ten large carts, which was quite spectacular.

"Look at the Zheng family's convoy, just one business can form its own convoy, and the two of us brothers borrowed money from everywhere and barely scraped together half a carload of goods, and we have to take the convoy of other businesses to set off", another businessman listened to them talk about the Zheng family, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said enviously.

It's just that at this time, Sikong Yue was not interested in what they said about their own family, so he finished the noodles in the bowl in a few bites, dropped a sentence: "You eat slowly, I'll go shopping first", and left the breakfast stall.

The men beside her understood her actions and did not follow along, but stayed behind to continue chatting with the two merchants.

Sikong Yue seemed to be shopping and walking slowly along the side of the road, but the corner of his eye kept looking at the caravan on the left and right, almost every cart was loaded with a large amount of iron and stone, and the wooden box covered under the linoleum was filled with gunpowder if he guessed correctly.

When did Beilin start to demand such a large amount of these things, although the demand for gunpowder in the winter would also increase, it was only compared to other seasons, and this year's amount of these is inevitably too much.

As he walked, Sikong Yue secretly wrote down the names of the businesses on the flags hanging on some large convoys, and in the early morning, everyone was busy loading the trucks, and no one noticed that there was such a person watching them.

Sikong Yue spent most of the hour walking around the streets of the downtown area of the town, and did not go back to the stall where he had breakfast, but went straight back to the inn where a few people stayed.

Xiao Er was busy wiping the table, when he saw her come in and greet her, he said, "This guest officer, a few of you have already returned to the room first."

Sikong Yue nodded, and also walked to the room in the backyard, and returned to the room with a dress of ordinary people on the bed that he ordered his men to buy outside last night.
