Chapter Seventy-Three**

Since the successive defeats, the prestige of the generals has also fallen to a low point, and the binding force on the soldiers has become smaller and smaller, not to mention that at this time, they are just looking for something to eat, so they turn a blind eye. It wasn't until the fight started that things made a big fuss and alarmed the crow ghost strategy, and then I knew that the big thing was not good, and I came out to suppress it.

After the crow ghost strategy figured out the truth of the matter, he saw that the soldiers who had been arrested were blue and skinny, and their faces were all made a mess when they snatched the burnt wheat, and they really couldn't punish them, so he sighed and waved his hand to let them go.

At this time, the crow ghost ce couldn't help but regret it, he was too hasty to make a decision at that time, and he shouldn't have burned this grain.

After all, although the army is not yet out of food, it can barely be maintained, and there are at least 400 stones of grain dragged by ten carts and two horses! (one stone = the limit weight of a sturdy man to walk = 60 kilograms), not to mention the charcoal in the snow, but it can also solve the urgent need. At present, the food consumed by the East China Sea Coalition Army every day is about 100 stones, and 400 stone of grain can make the whole army eat at least four days of full food!

And at this time, Lin Fengjin sent another messenger over

This messenger is still a captive, this time Lin Fengjin directly wrote a letter to the Crow Ghost Ce, in the letter Lin Fengjin said that his food is too much to eat, so that it is beginning to mold, so if Lord Crow Ghost Ce is willing to help him share the pain of too much food to eat, then he is also willing to take out some food again.

And more importantly, Lin Fengjin clearly added a definition to these "some" grains, which is only 2,000 stones!

As soon as he saw the number of two thousand stone grain, the eyes of the crow ghost ce were red, if he had two thousand stone of grain in his hand at this time, why should he be careful to break a grain of rice into two pieces and use it?

"Abominable, hateful !!"

The Raven Ghost slammed the table and cursed angrily.

However, when his anger dissipated, he simply summoned his subordinates. A question was posed to them that had been discussed countless times before:

"How much grain do you say there is in Wu Zuocheng on the other side?"

Since this question has been discussed countless times, someone quickly answered it:

"If you go back to your lordship, the decay rate of grain in this place is slower, but at most it can only be stored for three years, not more than four years, and our army sent troops at that time was also considered to be fast, which should catch these steppe barbarians off guard, and the grain here must also be transported from other places for thousands of miles, taking these factors into account. Now the grain stored in this Wuzuo City should be at most 10,000 stones. ”

The crow ghost clenched his teeth and frowned, walking back and forth in the big tent anxiously, and suddenly said angrily:

"They only have 10,000 stone of grain in stock, so why are they willing to take 2,000 stone of grain?"

Lin Fengjin said in the letter that he was willing to take 2,000 stone of grain out, which was naturally not given for nothing, but had his own conditions, that is, when his friend attacked the camp of the East China Sea Alliance last time, he was intercepted by the major priests, and he felt very unconvinced by the defeat. Therefore, he was willing to take out two thousand stone of grain, just for a fair chance to fight.

This means that Lin Fengjin put it bluntly, that is, he wants to find a priest to fight alone, and he will not die. As long as the priest is willing to come out to fight, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can come out with 2,000 stone of grain.

It is conceivable that once the priest is forced into a dead end in a heads-up. So obviously, it's a death anyway, and it's better to assimilate with the Sume envoy and become a divine envoy before death. If you can live a few more days and kill each other, why not?

Therefore, Lin Fengjin's ultimate goal is to force out the other party's divine envoy.

As of now, the evil gods of the East China Sea only know that there is also a powerful person behind Lin Fengjin, and it stands to reason that they can already obtain the true identity of the Wa Snake God, but after the Wa Snake God got the trace of the essence blood of the Xihuang Emperor, the yin and yang are combined, and a new vitality has emerged from nothing, and it can be said that the strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, so it can continue to cut off the detection of the evil gods of the East China Sea, and continue to delay and delay.

The main purpose is because the power of the divine envoy comes from the evil gods of the East China Sea, and she can also perform divine magic, so she wants to start from the memory and many aspects of the divine envoy, and then find the clues of the lost secret legend of the Xihuang Emperor: Luo Shu Ritual Technique.

At first, the snake god thought that the essence of the evil god Mihu had absorbed at least most of the remains of the karmic demon king Kakong, so the focus was on the body of the karmic demon king Kakong, but after she killed the god of Wozu and read the memories of many divine envoys, she realized that her judgment was wrong.

Now it seems that the truth of the year has completely subverted history, and Emperor Xi probably saw some kind of mysterious heavenly opportunity back then, so he took the initiative to sacrifice himself to be devoured by the karmic demon king Jiakong, therefore, in the case of the Xihuang being prepared, it seems that he was devoured together with his body and soul, but in fact, he was the unity of good and evil, and skillfully used the body of the karmic demon king Jiakong to preserve the complete Xihuang secret biography: Luo Shu ritual.

Therefore, among the remains of the karmic demon king Jiakong, it is likely that there is a complete secret legend of the Xihuang Emperor: Luo Shu Ritual Technique.

At this time, the truth that the Wa Snake God learned was that the essence of the evil god was at most absorbed about forty percent of the remains of the karmic demon king Kakong. The remaining sixty percent or so of the wreckage were scattered in the bodies of the rest of the gods of the East China Sea countries.

Then, the importance of the divine envoys of the gods of the East China Sea suddenly became greater, because for the Wa Snake God, even if he did not obtain the clues of the Luo Shu ritual technique by studying the memories of these divine envoys, he could also obtain the information of the relevant evil gods from the divine envoys, and analyze their divine skills and abilities.

In the future, the Wa Snake God will definitely slaughter these evil gods of the East China Sea and find the remains of the karmic demon king Kakong, so if he is fully prepared before the battle, it will naturally be much more difficult to kill. And the Wa Snake God is not afraid that the other party will unite to attack him, and even expects the other party to do so, because the ancient formation that trapped the Wa Snake God can only be described as a metamorphosis, the enemy is stronger than the strongest, but ants like Lin Fengjin can come and go at will

If you want to attack the Wa Snake God, you can, but the premise is that you must first break through the ancient great formation of this Burning Stone Mountain

And it is precisely because the Wa Snake God only analyzes and studies the divine envoys, and does not absorb the evil divine power on the assimilation of the divine envoys (they can't look down on it), so this also leads the evil gods of the East China Sea to not pay enough attention to the Wa Snake God.

To the evil gods of the East China Sea. Whether it is a soldier or a priest, they are all like grass mustard ants, soldiers are smaller ants, and priests are larger insects, all of which can be given up casually. If these guys knew that the purpose of the Wa Snake God was to covet the most precious origin in their bodies, they would definitely be strict and vigilant.

Crow Ghost Ce is also an old and cunning person, of course he knows what Lin Fengjin's intentions are. That's for God!

But for the crow ghost policy, he himself has no good impression of the gods and priests, and feels that the only value of these guys who pretend to be gods and ghosts is that they can play the role of high-end combat power on the battlefield, but the crow ghost ce believes that the war can only be won by relying on ordinary soldiers, in short, it is people-oriented.

At this time, facing the temptation of Lin Fengjin's two thousand stone grain, he was naturally moved. In the heart of the crow ghost ce, he could get two thousand stones of food out of thin air at this time, and he felt that he could at least be worth two or three priests.

However, the crow ghost strategy is also very clear, just like he values the lives of soldiers. The priests also value their own lives very much, and they also regard the soldiers as mustard, so the crow ghost did not directly persuade the priest to go out of the city and fight alone, because he also knew that the priest would ignore his words as if they were farts

So. The crow ghost is looking for no one else, it is the boss of the priests, ahem. It's the gods. And why can the crow ghost policy communicate directly with the gods? It is because in the great sacrifice before the expedition, the king has already begged the gods to directly protect some important generals, and descend to the gods to prevent them from being directly assassinated, suddenly dying of illness, and so on, so the crow ghost strategy can communicate with the gods who protect him.

In the end, the result of the communication of the crow ghost strategy was that he sacrificed 800 people to the god Shenfu who protected his streams and rivers, and the god Shenfu sent two of his own priests to fight!

It is worth mentioning that the 800 people sacrificed by the Crow Ghost Scheme were the herdsmen captured by the East China Sea Coalition Army at that time, not their own soldiers.

The result of this exchange is naturally needless to say, the crow ghost successfully obtained two thousand stones of grain and grass, and added additional rations to its soldiers that night, and immediately the morale was boosted, after all, this kind of visible and tangible benefits are the most real.

And since Lin Fengjin took the initiative to ask for a heads-up with the other party's divine envoy, then he must be sure of victory, because Lin Fengjin directly invited the old thing Ao Liquid to come out this time! Ao Liquid is a snake divine envoy at this time, and the Wa Snake God has also come up with a way to restrain Su I's envoy, not to mention that there are Shi Nu and Shui E by the side to help, so there is almost no suspense about Ao Liquid's victory.

After this exchange, because Lin Feng wanted to ask Ao Li to make a move, it was definitely not in vain, so he gave him ten merits, but this time Lin Feng was lucky, and the corpses of the two divine envoys were sold for forty merits, and he earned thirty merits in vain.

Such an exchange rate is replaced by someone else's words, and it is really tearful to listen to it, the biggest profiteer in the world is nothing more outrageous than ten trucks of old grain for two trucks of Donghai products!

In recent years, the Central Plains has been in good weather, there is no shortage of grain and grass, so the price of grain has been continuing to fall, of course, there is a state to buy parity grain, the loss can not go anywhere, can not afford to sell the price but is a fact, two thousand stone grain, or about to moldy old grain, converted into silver taels, in the Northern Qi Dynasty can only be sold at half price, four or five hundred taels of silver up to the sky. If you get a lot like the land of fish and rice in the south, you will have two hundred taels of silver in the sky!

And the merit value can be exchanged for the embryo of the divine soldier, the precious elixir that prolongs life, and the rest of the inconvenient horizontal comparison with the terrifying war creature of the huàn giant fly, let's compare it with the elixir that can prolong life:

At the auction in Xiangfan Qianzhuang that year, the Xuanyin Shenshi who could prolong a person's life span according to his physique, the effect of prolonging life was eight to twenty years, but to achieve the best effect, it must be the level of a strong man like Lu Jiuyuan, so the average effect of prolonging life is about ten years.

And the principle of prolonging the life of this drug is to develop the potential value of the person, so the side effect is that if you take too much of a similar life-prolonging elixir, because the potential value is almost developed, the effect will be very depleted. So the final price was 14,000,000,000 taels.

The real Dan who can talk and quarrel, the life span of the real Dan is 999 days, and the secret combination of the 99 technique, breathing its breath when it is alive, it can prolong its life, and when it is edible after death, it can extend its life for another year to three years, and the life of Dingtian will be extended by six years, but the principle of life extension of the real Dan is to use external force to repair and nourish, so the side effects are much smaller. So the final price was 18 million taels.

And the merit value of the thirty squares can be exchanged for huàn's panacea elixir, which can extend the life span by twenty years after taking it, and also remove any toxin effect on the body!

However, according to Lin Fengjin's speculation, although he didn't make it clear that there were any side effects, the genes of the Wa Snake God were so strong. There should be mild symptoms such as molting, sticking out the tongue, low body temperature, hibernation, etc. However, these things can feel quirky at best, and even if they are nitpicking, they are not a problem at all in the face of the powerful twenty years of life extension and the positive effects of removing any toxins.

So. In terms of performance, it is obvious that the panacea has the absolute upper hand, so to speak. From the perspective of life extension alone, one panaceous elixir is at least equal to three furnace true pills or three Xuanyin Divine Truths, not to mention the ability to solve all poisons in the world?

Then, the actual price of the panacea elixir should be at least above 50 million taels of silver

And this thing only costs thirty merits!

In other words, according to this algorithm, a little merit value is worth at least 1.6 million taels of silver! Well, even if the auction price is inflated and cut in half, this is already ruthless enough, and a little merit value is worth 800,000 taels of silver.

You should know now how perverted and outrageous the benefits earned by the two thousand stones of moldy old grain that Lin Fengjin took out!

What's even more rare is that the crow ghost who made a deal with Lin Fengjin did not have the slightest consciousness of being cheated, and he was also very satisfied with this deal in his heart - two bullshit priests who didn't know anything could exchange two thousand stones of grain for their urgent needs!

First, it can allow his subordinates to eat a few full meals from now on, and stabilize the morale of the army that is about to collapse completely! Second, it has weakened the amount of grain stored in Wu Zuocheng, 2,000 stone of grain, 240,000 catties, which means that the people in Wu Zuocheng, who will be besieged by the army in the future, will hold out for ten days, and this ten days of time is likely to be priceless.

And the price he paid was just two priests, and the soldiers and the common people felt that the priests were very noble and irreplaceable, and they still didn't understand? Although not everyone could be a priest, out of a hundred people, there were always one or two of them, and among the more than 10,000 people under his command, there were about 100 people who could be priests

If all the qiē are the crows and ghosts who make their own decisions, then most likely they will all turn these hundred people into priests, and then sixty priests will be wholesaled to Lin Fengjin, uh, he is willing to exchange one priest for five hundred stone of grain!

However, at this time, the person in charge of internal affairs quietly found Lin Fengjin in private, and said very anxiously:

"Childe, I don't have any opinion on your behavior, but please don't do it again in such a way as to trade grain, there is not much grain in Wu Zuocheng, and what people eat and chew every day can only last for a month, which is already in a very dangerous situation!"

"If we can break this barrier and restore communication with the outside world, then naturally there is no need to say anything, but you also said that the main force of the other party will soon return with a large amount of food, and we are still far away when we solve the difficulty, once the food is exhausted, the city will be broken overnight!"

Lin Fengjin nodded and said with a smile:

"That's why I'm going to seize this time to make a good deal of money, if I wait for its main force to return with a large amount of grain, where can I go to find such a cheap good thing? Ten carts of grain for two carts of East China Sea specialties, two thousand stone of grain to earn thirty merit points?"

But he said urgently:

"But"

Lin Fengjin smiled and waved his hand and said:

"You can rest assured, I know in my heart, this guy is also a powerful person, but such an opponent is interesting to clean up. ”

Seeing Lin Fengjin, he was full of confidence and confidence, and he had nothing to say about leaving, so he nodded silently and retreated. Lin Fengjin was holding his chin and planning to take advantage of this time whether to increase the size and take five thousand stone grain as bait, I don't know if the crow ghost strategy will be tempted at this time.

However, on the afternoon of the next day, just as Lin Feng was about to take out 5,000 stone of grain to tempt the crow ghost strategy, it was probably that the heavens couldn't get used to his shameless profit-making behavior - an unexpected situation occurred. A giant ship that was crushed and seemed to sink in the next second appeared on the horizon, and the flags on the giant ship were clearly the flags of the countries of the East China Sea.

Yes, the troops sent out by the East China Sea Coalition have already returned from a great victory and are fully loaded. (To be continued......)
