Xia - take the city's food lightly

It is said that Mu Ziyun and Bell and Du Xiaoyue rushed all the way, and finally arrived at the county seat a hundred miles away, as those villagers said, this city is indeed much more lively, there are a total of five city gates, and the people who come and go are also diverse, there are not a few cultivators, but their strength is not high, most of them are Long people and those under Long people.

After Mu Ziyun and the three of them entered the city, they walked to the nearest restaurant, ordered something to eat first, and when there were fewer guests in the hall, they called the shopkeeper over and said that they wanted to buy food. Mu Ziyun opened his mouth and said that he wanted to buy ten buckets of white rice, but before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper hurriedly refused, saying that he was not allowed to take guests out of the restaurant for his own meals, which was the traditional rule of his small shop.

But as soon as he spoke, three or two guests took out the purchased vegetables in front of Mu Ziyun and the shopkeeper with wooden boxes.

Mu Ziyun's face was already gloomy, and he stared at the shopkeeper coldly. The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly and said, "Guest officer, if you bring three or four people, it's still okay, but you want ten buckets of rice, it's not that my small shop can't afford it, I really don't dare to provide it." ”

"Hehe..."Mu Ziyun replied: "We are refugees, there are hundreds of people left outside the city, all waiting for dinner, but we are just buying you ten buckets of rice, so as not to cost you your life." ”

The shopkeeper replied: "Don't say ten barrels, one barrel can't be sold to you, these days the sea is unstable, the price of food has risen for a long time, not to mention, you have to watch and listen to all directions to sell, especially our Tayang country, the most fierce, a while ago the slaves carried the banner, to turn over and revolt, the adults in this city have greeted all the shops, saying that the sale of things should be sold by one person, not to fund slaves in disguise, otherwise they will be killed, several adults are strong people who practice, naturally have nothing to do with those slaves, But the rules set by the adults in the city, the villains really dare not disobey. ”

The hearts of the three of them sank, don't look at this little shopkeeper mortal, but they can see through the identity of Mu Ziyun's three cultivators at a glance, they have already thought about avoiding arousing the suspicion of the other party, but they didn't expect that such a rule has been established in this city, they want to buy food for tens of thousands of people, as well as food for the winter in a village, even if they buy three or four copies in one store, they may not be able to buy them all over the city.

"Can you be accommodating" Du Xiaoyue didn't want to give up, but Mu Ziyun stopped him in time and said to the shopkeeper: "Forget it, I won't buy it, I'll let them eat it themselves." ”

"Guest, go slowly!" The shopkeeper made a gesture towards the door. Mu Ziyun frowned slightly, was stunned for a moment, raised his legs and led the second daughter out of the door.

Du Xiaoyue said in a low voice: "I may be able to exchange it for a cold stone." ”

"Don't be delusional," Ling took Mu Ziyun's hand and replied to her, "Wouldn't it be even more suspicious if you sold the cold stone to this mortal who opened a restaurant?" I sensed that there was a good atmosphere in this city, and I am afraid that a few strong men were in charge. ”

"That's right" Mu Ziyun said: "It's better not to startle the snakes, but it's really troublesome to buy food for so many people, so you have to think of a way." ”

"I've got a way!" The bell jumped lightly in front of Mu Ziyun, tilted his head to look at him and said, "Let's grab it!" ”

Du Xiaoyue's face changed, as if she was a little annoyed, she stared at the hands held by the two, and said in a slightly questioning tone: "I just said not to startle the snake!" ”

"Humph!" The bell puffed out her cheeks and glanced at her, shook Mu Ziyun's arm, and said coquettishly: "Rob, rob." ”

Mu Ziyun smiled knowingly, scraped the tip of the bell's nose with his fingers, nodded, and at the same time covered the bell's mouth and nose with a colored scarf, and said: "Block it carefully, just like you, someone will come to arrest you as a slave after a while!" "But even if half of the face is blocked, the bell's watery eyes are also beautiful, such a stunner is really rare in the world.

The two of them were not in a hurry, and even began to walk around the city, the bell was lively and playful by nature, she pulled Mu Ziyun around one by one, and used the few remaining gold and silver to buy the cheap things she liked, Du Xiaoyue couldn't keep up with the pace of the two of them, so she could only fall behind with a bitter face and a sour breath.

Mu Ziyun also paid attention to others when he played, picked out a lot of targets with acceptable strength, and after consideration, the three of them walked into a pawnshop, which was ordinary in appearance, and the objects on the shelves were not conspicuous, and there was only one black hat guy sitting behind the table.

Mu Ziyun walked to the front of the stage, generously laid out the three cold stones, and said, "How many golden beans can you exchange?" ”

After the guy saw the cold stone, he was as calm as ever, he glanced at it twice and made an calculation, and said in his mouth: "Golden beans are not valuable, medicine is valuable, if the guest needs, I can exchange it for you enough medicinal materials, healing, healing, and restoring strength." ”

"As long as money" Mu Ziyun replied decisively, he chose this mediocre-looking cultivator, because this person's strength had reached the realm of Longren, and he was close to the edge of Zhong Li, and the cold stone was more important to him.

The guy shook his head, still calculating, and said: "It's too expensive, it's not that I can't afford it, but I don't have so many gold beans in my store, if I give it to you, ordinary people come over to do something, and I don't have any gold or silver to find them." ”

"Then I want food" Mu Ziyun replied: "Ming people don't say dark words, there are thousands of people waiting to eat outside my city, there are too many rules in this city, it is too troublesome to buy, if you can exchange it for me, I will sell you one of the three cold stones, how about it?" ”

The man's eyebrows were finally touched, he raised his head and stared at Mu Ziyun with a lot of meaning, and did not look at the second daughter, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, and he didn't know whether it was contempt or scruples. Mu Ziyun opened his mouth and smiled: "Think about it? I won't say much, so you can give me an answer quickly. ”

The guy smiled mysteriously and said, "If you were someone else, I would definitely ask for such a big bargain, but if it were you, I would have to consider it carefully." As he spoke, he pointed to the wall next to him.

The three of them turned their heads and looked, they were all taken aback, it turned out that there was a portrait on the wall, which was painted by Mu Ziyun, and the appearance was very realistic, and the painting also deliberately noted that this person was the core member of "Xia", and he was a high-value wanted thief of the Tiangong Doujiao Tan clan in the Taryang Kingdom. When the three of them were watching, the guy spoke again, and he smiled: "It was posted a few days ago, if it was half a month ago, I wouldn't have let you in, but now you are also in the Tiangong Dou, I don't dare to offend any family, since they can't be offended, then they will all be made into a deal, I said this business, but the grain can only provide five hundred copies, and I can't take out any more." ”

Du Xiaoyue leaned into Mu Ziyun's ear and said, "If five hundred portions are divided into one point, it is enough for thousands of people to eat." ”

Mu Ziyun knew that he couldn't patronize what was in front of him, he turned his head and smiled: "That's fine, grain and golden beans, count as much as you can, we will use them soon." ”

The guy turned around and walked into the back room, and half an hour later, Du Xiaoyue's crystal bottle was filled with eight hundred rations and four or five boxes of golden beans, which was enough to see the value of the cold stone. When Mu Ziyun was leaving, the guy handed over a map of the city, which marked the dozen or so large households with the largest stock in the city, but there were also two or three houses in the red ink circle, and the man said with a low smile: "You are high, for the sake of the extra three hundred grains, don't go to these shops." "It turns out that those big families are the same family forces of this guy.

Mu Ziyun smiled evilly, chin slightly, and led the second daughter out.

After coming out, I went to a teahouse, ordered tea and sat dry, waiting for the arrival of dusk. The teahouse was crowded with people, and it was also very noisy, and there were no stools among them, just a low pear blossom wooden table on a flower mat. After sitting on the bell for a while, he began to feel sleepy, and fell asleep on Mu Ziyun's legs. Mu Ziyun and Du Xiaoyue sat silently face to face for a long time, Du Xiaoyue wanted to speak several times and stopped, but Mu Ziyun saw it in his eyes.

Dusk came, the sun set, but there were still many pedestrians on the street, the three of them waited for half an hour, the city was deserted, but after a few breaths, seven or eight light towers were lit up in the city, it turned out that there was still a night market here, and some pavilions were a good time to open at dusk.

"I can't wait" Mu Ziyun opened his mouth and looked at the teacup on the table and said, "It's been too long, I'm afraid that Huzi will be worried, let's hurry up and finish it, and then rush back overnight." ”

After Du Xiaoyue nodded, she looked worried again, and Mu Ziyun said when she saw it: "I also thought of it, since the inconspicuous guy in the pawnshop can recognize me, the big characters in this city should have known that I was coming, it doesn't matter, let's act in front of them, see who dares to stop me!" ”

woke up the sleeping bell, Mu Ziyun got up with her and moved her muscles. Then the three of them walked to the counter, Mu Ziyun didn't say much, directly threw out a bag of golden beans, tilted his head and looked at the shopkeeper coldly, it turned out that this one was one of their targets.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper was very cooperative, he smiled, lowered his body and said to Mu Ziyun: "My lord, you can say whatever you want." ”

"Grain," Mu Ziyun replied coldly.

"How many?"

"A thousand."

The shopkeeper patted the shoulder of the guy next to him, and after whispering, he looked at Mu Ziyun with a smile. In just one hour, more than 1,400 rations were delivered to Mu Ziyun. When Mu Ziyun and the three of them were sent out of the door enthusiastically, they were all a little confused, but it was right to think about it, since they recognized their identities, of course, they also had to be afraid of the majesty of Tiangong Dou, and they didn't dare to provoke the Tan clan, did they dare to provoke "Xia"? Only those ordinary little shopkeepers will be so ignorant of current affairs.

The bell was very uncomfortable, she was going to make a big fuss, but they went to a house, and they returned with a full load before they could do it, and the attitude of the shopkeepers was too good, they could agree to any request, and they had to say goodbye when they went out.

Two hours later, the three men walked from the main street to the city gate, and when they were about to leave the city gate, the three stopped. Mu Ziyun let go of the bell's hand and said coldly in a low voice: "Wait for me here for a while." With that, he turned into a sparkling thunderbolt and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

After a few breaths, this thunder pierced through a towering high-rise building with a clear view of the whole city, and between the thunder and fire, Mu Ziyun appeared in front of a man with a big waist and a round waist. The man's face was surprised, and he was obviously prepared to fight, but he quickly dispelled his fighting spirit, got up and said with a smile: "This must be Lord Mu Ziyun of 'Xia', what do you have to teach when you come to the Humble House?" ”

"Since you know I'm here, you don't want to do anything?" Mu Ziyun seemed to want to see through his heart.

But this person is an old man, he smiled calmly, and replied: "I am the best at saving my life, otherwise, I would not have lived so long under the Hanging Tan Clan, and I still lived so well." ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, silently, Mu Ziyun rolled his eyes, snorted playfully, and then turned into thunder and lightning and flew away.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and after a pause, he turned to the person outside the door and said, "Find some substitutes for the dead ghosts, and be sharp." The men outside the door took the order and went. It turned out that these people had discovered something when Mu Ziyun had not entered the city, but as the man said, his greatest strength was that he would save his life, and he was still thriving in the most rampant days of the Hanging Tan Clan, which had a lot to do with his good choice.

He made the best choice, not to provoke "Xia", and at the same time found a scene for the dead ghost to make a fierce resistance, and then handed over to the Hanging Tan clan or the Wang Bin royal family, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

It was Mu Ziyun and the three of them who left the city nervously and flew towards the village hundreds of miles away.

And within a hundred miles, there are two people who have already stood still, and they are entrusted by the "little bit" to stop the three people of "Xia" here.
