Chapter Forty-Seven: Carrying the Catch to the Small World
The urban construction work was in full swing, and on the seventeenth day of Li Mu's arrival on Hai'an Island, Wang Dali, the head of Xichao Village, came back. In addition to the ten boatloads of bait he brought back, there was also news - the Great Xia Empire no longer existed.
Regarding this news, Li Mu and Liu Luo accepted it calmly, and as for Chonglou and Jiang Fei, the two guys went directly to the barracks in a murderous manner. Li Mu looked in the direction of the barracks and sighed: Poor children, they are going to suffer again.
At that time, more than four months had passed since Xichao Village was separated, and the little old man had not changed much, but he seemed to feel more shrewd. That night, Li Mu asked the chef at home to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and a large table of people gathered around to have a happy reunion dinner. After the women's scouts finished eating, the men began to talk about business.
"How is Hai'an Mansion?" this question is what Li Mu is most concerned about now.
Wang Dali took a sip of stuffy wine, sighed, and said: "It's all messed up, the entire Hai'an Mansion is still defending except for Raohai County in the southernmost part, and all the county towns are in the hands of the An family." Anjia was recruited on a large scale, and all the young strong people were arrested and became soldiers, hey, the lives of the people became even more miserable. ”
Subsequently, Wang Dali briefly told everyone what happened in the Great Xia Empire in the last ten days:
The emperor, under the escort of Changyin at the south gate of the Seventeenth Master, joined the 50,000-strong army of Ji Gang, the commander of the first factory, and went to Ningzhou Mansion together. Ningzhou Mansion has Ji Gang and the former Dynasty Zuo Xiang Zhou Da Lord, the crown prince Nanmen Zixia led the army through the border area between Bizhou Mansion and Hai'an Mansion and captured the five counties of Nanfeng.
Now the four places of Bizhou Mansion, Nanfeng Five Counties, Haiping'an Mansion and Ningzhou Mansion are like a Tianzi grid, and the prince occupies the two opposite corners of Tianzi - Ningzhou Mansion and Nanfeng Five Counties. The other two opposite corners are Bizhou Mansion and Haiping An Mansion. In this way, the form will be clear, unless Bizhou Mansion and Hai'an Mansion attack at the same time, either side will capture one of the two places in Ning and Nan, and the other side in Ning and South will send troops to support.
The Magic Knife Gate has been entrenched in the thirty-three counties of Tongzhou for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted. For hundreds of years, the Demon Sword Gate has had a huge impact on Bizhou Mansion, and now it has taken over the land of fish and rice in the former Great Xia Empire like a walk. Anju Mansion, Shinnoju and Tokoyama are the houses of the Falling Flower Palace. The fifteen counties of Guangzong City and Wuyang Mansion are the ones of Longxiao Temple. As for other forces, such as the Eight Princes and the Right Minister, all of the former courtiers retreated to the fiefdoms of the nobles.
In addition to being shocked, everyone who ate this meal sighed and sighed. Everyone's psychology can't help but think, what would their current life be like if there was no Haiping Island?
Tian Zhuang and Erxi will definitely be pulled by An Jia to fill the army. No matter how much money Liu Luo has, can his money still belong to him on the day Huaixi County broke the city?
At this time, everyone at the table seemed to have nothing, and glanced at the youngest boy......
Early the next morning, Li Mu pulled Chonglou and Jiang Fei, caught up with the donkey cart and went to the fishing ground, and asked the fisherman on duty to load three carts of fish. Chonglou and Jiang Fei didn't know why, and followed him all the way into the primeval forest with a donkey cart, and at this time Jiang Fei finally couldn't help but ask him, "Where are we going?"
As soon as Jiang Fei's words fell, he and Chonglou's eyes were quickly attracted by the herd of horses that appeared in front of them. It was a herd of more than 100 wild horses, grazing leisurely in the primeval forest.
As the donkey cart deepened, there were herds of wild boars and sheep, and the sighs of the two never stopped. Li Mu concentrated on hurrying, but he ignored the two of them, the trees here were too dense, and sometimes he had to take a detour, so he was afraid of going in the wrong direction. Gradually, it was only after noon that Li Mu's hanging heart finally let go. He saw the cliff that led to the small world.
Drove the donkey cart to the front of the cliff, the cliff was too narrow, the donkey cart couldn't go, Li Mu ordered Chonglou and Jiang Fei to move the catch one by one to the bottom. Now they are gone, and they don't want to hold the wet and fishy sea fish. Li Mu shrugged indifferently, pointed to the small world below and said: "There is a two-way charge in and out of the city, two thousand taels per person, if you don't want to hold the fish, you can go back, I'll come by myself." ”
It wasn't until this time that Chonglou and Jiang Fei noticed the city wall below the cliff. The sudden appearance of the city immediately shook both of them, and they didn't speak for a long time.
In the end, Chonglou reacted first...... Hmm, he first remembered Li Mu's knife. Then he remembered what Li Mu told him about the two sheep that sold for 40,000 taels of silver, and every fish here is no smaller than a sheep! Thinking of this, Chonglou didn't say a word, grabbed the tails of the two big fish one by one, and swept out along the winding mountain road of the cliff with light skills.
Although Jiang Fei looks like a woman, he is a veritable physical technique, and he has cultivated the spiritual forging method recently, and his physical skills have improved even faster. Li Mu looked at him, and he looked at the heavy building that flew down, and immediately understood, this is a good thing! Then, he also grabbed two big fish one by one and jumped onto the winding mountain road.
Soon, the three of them carried all the catch of the three donkey carts to the bottom of the city gate, and the bearded soldier that Li Mu saw last time looked at them with wide eyes, and after a long time pointed at them and said, "You you went to the sea!"
Li Mu quickly took out the silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it into him: "Na, three thousand taels." After saying that, he entered the city by himself, and according to the previous agreement, Chonglou and Jiang Fei threw the catch in from the outside, and he followed it inside, so that he would not have to go back and forth to the city.
Their actions immediately attracted the attention of the inhabitants of the small world, and in a short time, the city gate was surrounded by water. After all the catch was moved in, the three of them were dumbfounded.
They were completely surrounded, and they couldn't get out at all!
"Little brother, it's you!"
Li Mu looked at the source of the voice, it was the scholar who bought his sheep last time. Li Mu immediately pulled him over and asked, "What are these people going to do? Why don't you let us into the city?"
The scholar shook his head and began to recite poetry, and the paper fan in his hand shook around in coordination. When Li Mu was listening to the clouds, the thing finally said a human word: "It turns out that the fish looks like this." ”
Li Mu immediately understood what he meant: the people here have never eaten fish!
Then, after thinking about it, he quickly understood: this small world was under this cliff, and there was only a very simple winding road to the top of the cliff, and it was impossible to get things into the city in large quantities. Also, when he remembered coming, there were only traces of man-made in the forest near the small world, which means that these people don't even go far from the forest, and who will go to the beach?
Thinking about all this, Li Mu's face put a smile on his face, and he looked like a profiteer, and his next words almost made Chonglou and Jiang Fei vomit blood.
"Folks, these big fish were caught by our three brothers with all their might, just to let the big guy taste the taste of fish. It's not expensive, 50,000 taels a piece, pay first, get ......"
Before Chonglou and Jiang Fei's blood could be spit out, they looked at the outstretched hands in amazement...... Hmm, it seems that you are holding a silver ticket in your hand?
