Although Li Shushi and even the entire Bingzhou high-level officials are used to having three meals a day, dinner time seems to be after sunset except in summer, but even so, the meal time today is really late enough.
Yes.
After all, it was already dark when a few people entered the city, and the girls could enjoy Gaochang's nightlife again.
This also resulted in the fact that when the women returned to their temporary residence in a happy mood, they saw two suspected "bodies", one large and one small, lying in the open space in the yard. The big one was ignored for the time being, and the small one was left alone.
Even though she was wearing gorgeous clothes made of fabrics trafficked from the Central Plains thousands of miles away, she was still lying on the ground without any image, even if it was cleaned very clean, the clothes could still be stained.
If the rising and falling abdomen hadn't proved the state of the child, perhaps the women would have thought that this was the first scene of the murder, and that the murderer was probably the big man standing aside.
"Why did I suddenly become a murderer!"
"Well, being able to complain means that the person is not dead, which means that he still has the ability to commit crimes."
"Why do I have to be a criminal? Obviously every living person has the ability to commit crimes."
"I saw a cute kid, and I thought, 'It doesn't matter if it's a boy as long as it's cute,' so I jumped on it."
"How much loss would I have to suffer before I would do something like that?"
"Because I am my husband, there must be no problem."
"It's a big problem, Kougu Yue!"
"Looking at how energetic my husband is, I can really save a lot of money on dinner today~"
"Master Tamago-chan, please don't save money on your husband's rations."
As for the very talkative boy next to him, he didn't seem to express any emotion about whether he liked or disliked such an unscrupulous little theater. He just watched everything happening in front of him with a calm expression.
However, even so, the Huanglong girl still noticed something unusual about him - he held a wooden sword that was not very finely made in his right hand, and his left arm was wrapped around a sword that looked very familiar.
, and whether it was a wooden sword or a precious sword, the little guy was holding it with great strength, as if he was afraid that it would be snatched away by others.
The Huanglong girl didn't know how to evaluate this child's reaction, whether it was pity or... It should be said that everyone will have everyone's helplessness. Such emotions will not depend on your wealth or power.
, changes with status, but the child’s world is ultimately more
Adults want to be simple, so many adults don't care about small things, but they are the most important things in the world. Children who have become adults and are entangled in various interests have probably forgotten this.
Whether it's an ordinary person, or some high and mighty...god.
Because this cute boy was also hungry all night after Li Shushi, Su Xiaoluoli, who had originally planned to do a little work while cooking, had to maintain her usual standards, plus the help of several other girls except Huanglong Girl
, the big table was soon filled with all kinds of delicacies. Although it was located in the Western Region, it was surprisingly rich in supplies.
"After going out for such a long walk, what do you think?"
Seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, Li Shushi asked the question as if chatting while picking up food for the child who was sitting quietly beside him. On the surface, it seemed that he just wanted to care about whether the girls were having fun. Unfortunately,
Any one of the girls around him had a higher IQ than him, so his cryptic questioning method naturally gained him a lot of attention.
Well, the idiot who underestimated the IQ of a girl should receive such retribution.
"The supplies are very rich." Although she was slightly unhappy with her husband, Xiao Zhenqing still put down her bowls and chopsticks, looking like a serious subordinate who was about to report to her superiors. The only pity was that the smile in the corner of her eyes betrayed her.
Her true inner mood at this moment, "There is something from it
The original goods also include rare treasures from the Western Regions and even further afield. Not only can most common varieties be found, but some rare varieties can also be seen. Among them, the profit of goods from the West is based on the ratio of cost and selling price.
It can only be said that it is good, and the profit of goods from the east is generally
The prices are at least 60% higher than those from the west. In addition, fresh vegetables here are super expensive, and meat is cheaper than expected. We also found several good wheat seeds. Maybe we can take them back to Bingzhou to try growing them.
.The level of craftsmen here is also very limited. If you see exquisite
The ornaments or utensils are at least the work of Wusun craftsmen, and there are not many of them. Most of them come from further away. From the shape of those ornaments, you can basically guess where they were made. It seems that local craftsmen have also tried to imitate them.
, but the difference in details is very obvious.”
"What did Yan'er discover?"
Regarding Li Shushi's question, Xiao Qiaoyan also put down the bowl and chopsticks and prepared to answer with the same expression as Xiao Zhenqing. Xiao Zhenqing picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, but did not eat, as if waiting for Li Shushi
Possible next questions.
Of course, because there wasn't much rice porridge in her bowl, it looked like she was about to finish it, which made Li Shushi know - these girls must have eaten a lot of snacks when they were shopping.
fall!
Ahem, Li Shushi is not envious or jealous, he just feels a little regretful that he can't lend flowers to Buddha.
"What Sister Zhen said just now is generally good, but I feel that there are some omissions." After looking at Xiao Zhenqing and seeing that she had no reaction, Xiao Qiaoyan continued timidly: "No matter the number of craftsmen here,
The craftsmanship is not bad, but compared to other places, most of the craftsmen here seem to make a living by making armor and other military supplies. Although I have no research on swords, I also feel that those weapons are very sharp, and
Those ones
The armor is bright and ferocious, so it is considered to be very good goods. For this reason, the prices of the iron ingots and furs seem to be a bit high, but the prices of various weapons and armor have not increased much because of this. With such low profits,
It really makes people a little confused. Another point is that although there is not much worth noting about the prices of various livelihood supplies here, there seems to be some problems with the quantity, but we have no way to further confirm."
"Not bad, not bad, everything is rewarding."
However, I always feel like something is missing.
"I heard that the prostitutes in the east of the city complained that their recent business has been with big-name soldiers. It is obvious that a group of respectable people are here, but even these people's personal guards and attendants have not come to greet their business. Only those top-notch people are here.
It is possible to sing and dance at the banquet of those distinguished guests.
But they will leave soon. The blacksmiths are also complaining that repairing the machetes and horseshoes of the mercenaries and soldiers in recent days has dominated their lives. Although they are making more money than before, they hear complaints from them in various accents every day.
Their technical problems made them feel that these guys were entirely responsible for
Because I lost the game and the money, I came to them to vent in such an annoying way. I also heard that the largest grain merchant in the city secretly ate about fifty dan of refined grain recently, and it was from a short period of time.
It was transported from outside. Even the pack horses were so tired that they lost some weight, but they didn't go through a special freight channel.
, instead chose to load and unload through the side door at the back in the dead of night. When picking up the goods, the store owner even said to himself, as if he said, "If I feed more beans when I go back, I don't know whether I will make a profit or a loss on this trip."
', but that face doesn't look like someone who would do money-losing business."
"Hiss..." If Xiao Zhenqing's intelligence is more focused on business, and Xiao Qiaoyan's intelligence has already involved military issues, then Su Xiaoluoli's intelligence is directed at the possibility of some important figures and forces in the city.
trend.
Based on what Su Xiaololi said, it can be basically confirmed that there is indeed a public meeting here. However, before the public meeting, the heads of the various forces have already launched fierce actions in private. Those soldiers who are constantly challenging and being challenged can be considered
Those people are showing their strength, even if all parties have a relatively detailed understanding of other forces in daily interactions, but in an occasion like the Western Region, any fresh and outstanding general has the ability to break the original pattern.
Don't you see that back then, Ban Dingyuan only had a team of less than a hundred people, but he was able to rely on the power of the countries in the Western Regions to dominate. In other words, if a country had a general like Ban Dingyuan, not to mention unifying the Western Regions, it would become a powerful country in charge of one side.
It should not be difficult to compete with countries like Wusun and Kangju.
Of course, the war to destroy the country is still far away, but it can still be done to change the status of a force in this secret meeting and the distribution ratio of post-war benefits, so even such a competition will cause many uncertain accidents. But all
All the forces seem to have acquiesced in this private competition, which is small in scale and low in intensity, but has a huge impact.
As for those who posted odds, they must be guys planning to take the opportunity to make some pocket money, so Li Shushi didn't need to pay too much attention.
After all, he is not a businessman directly involved in operating the Silk Road trade, otherwise this would be information worth exploring.
And the last message is even more interesting.
Fifty shi of food is not much, but it is not too little, and this is just a store of a grain merchant. If this number is extended, it may mean that there are at least a thousand troops hidden in the city.
I don't know what kind of plans are being made in the dark. Maybe some people have received the news in advance, so their job is not just to come for talks, but to deal with certain people who must be dealt with when necessary.
In short, this time all the forces from the Western Region gathered here, there will definitely be a big move. Although I don’t know why they gathered here, Li Shushi estimated that his move to place Yiwu under the direct control of the central government was definitely an inducement.
one.
It’s not an exaggeration to even call it the biggest inducement.
You must know that tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Bingzhou Army swept across the Western Regions. Not to mention the shocking battle with the Xianbei people, just looking at the battle that destroyed the Kucha Kingdom before the Bingzhou Army left was probably enough to leave a lasting impression on the various kingdoms in the Western Regions.
Sufficient shade area.
No matter how you calculate it, Qiuci is one of the few powerful countries in the Western Regions, but even such a powerful country did not last long in the face of the Bingzhou Army's attack. In the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, the impregnable royal city would have been impossible if the Bingzhou Army had not deliberately persuaded them to surrender.
support that
How many days ago, and in fact everyone knew that when the Bingzhou Army really decided to attack, it only took them a few hours to make King Qiuci, who was originally sitting in the palace, surrender, and let the once dominant King Qiuci surrender.
The kingdom was completely swept into the garbage heap.
The people of the Western Regions once thought that the Bingzhou Army returning to the Central Plains was far away from them, so far away that it was even impossible to come back. They just sent some agents to pretend to be powerful, but who would have thought that not only did they come back, but they also
fast.
The entire Western Region was shaken by this. Thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense.
"It's a pity that the intelligence level in the Western Region has always been low. Otherwise, it wouldn't have turned into a big storm here, and there hasn't been even a clue over there. This is really abnormal."
"They are probably attracted by other false news. Just release a more important false news first, and then cover it up. Even if your husband's subordinates can find out that their target has another purpose, and then want to send back new information
It also takes a long time.”
"Then just keep eating, although it seems like none of you have any appetite."
"Don't worry, I think I can still eat a lot." Well, no one at Huanglong Children's Shoes will doubt your words. And they will never label you as a foodie, because even foodies can't compete with you.
Compare food intake, if you wish.
"I will always accompany my husband to the end, so you don't have to worry about feeling lonely~" They are also at the inhuman level, so it is easy for Su Xiaololi to transform into a foodie, but compared to
Generally speaking, as a foodie who just wants to satisfy her appetite, Su Xiaololi can't help but analyze the craftsmanship of the food, the ingredients and seasonings that may be used, as well as issues such as preservation and optimal eating temperature when eating.
All in all, Li Shushi's stomach has been firmly tied to Su Xiaololi's hand. Even Su Xiaololi's Lily Palace members probably can't escape this control. It is too powerful, even comparable to the power of rules.
.
When I think of this, it seems like the figures of two lolita biting lollipops are wandering around in Li Shushi's mind.
I don’t know what these two are busy with recently. Are they in love with each other, or are they in love and killing each other?
However, judging from the extent of human use of this world today, it should probably still fall within the former category.
"Ah, right!"
As if she remembered something, Su Xiaololi suddenly exclaimed and successfully focused the attention of everyone at the table on her. However, Li Shushi's eyes kept swaying and wandering for a moment because of Su Xiaololi's sudden action somewhere.
Ahem, good boy, I don’t know anything, I don’t know, I don’t know.
Because it is very important, I say it several times.
"What's wrong, Tamago-chan?"
"Actually, there is one most important piece of news that I haven't been able to inform my husband in time."
"What's the news?" Noticing Su Xiaololi's weird smile and the Huanglong girl on the other side who wanted to laugh but was holding back, Li Shushi always felt that these two people seemed to have set some kind of trap waiting for him to infiltrate.
, but now he is a little cat who has eaten twenty-five mice - a hundred claws are scratching his heart!
"Hmm~ Although the Wusun people are trying their best to cover up everything, judging from the number of soldiers they continue to send into the city and the density of contact with various forces, I'm afraid something very...unexpected...has happened to them.
.Big.thing.love.yo~~~”
He turned his head and looked at the little guy next to him. The little guy also looked at Li Shushi with an innocent face.
Li Shushi suddenly felt that this boy not only looked more like his mother in appearance, but also seemed to be more like his mother in personality. Sure enough, the prettier he is, the more he can deceive others, even if he is a pretty boy.
Paper cannot be taken lightly.
Moreover, how did this naughty child escape the heavy guards of the Wusun people? Even if Uncle Snake wants to do this, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort. Could it be that this child has actually been captured by Kakko Lu?
The soul of West Asia is possessed?!
Oh, what could be worse than this?
Well, it's true, that is, this kid is possessed by Lara Croft's soul.
Li Shushi has read the pre-travel transformation novel a lot, so it’s not surprising that his imagination is a bit big.
"It seems that how to send you little guy back is our biggest problem."
Li Shushi originally just wanted to tease the kid in front of him, but the naughty kid in front of him immediately let him know the power of the naughty kid:
"I heard everything you just said. If you send me back, I will definitely tell my mother exactly what I just heard. If you don't want important information to be leaked, you'd better take me with you."
This made Li Shushi, who originally thought he was just a taciturn naughty kid, immediately turned into an orz.
"so what."
"You can carry me with you as the most important 'hostage'. I'm very small and light, and I don't take up any space at all."
"Aren't you afraid that your mother will go crazy?"
Shaking his head, rubbing and rubbing...
The second half of the sentence is a true portrayal of the malicious Li Shushi ravaging the lovely young lady's hair.
It's clear that you can just sit there and be a cold lady without saying anything, so why do you have to show off your naughty power?
"Husband, please make a decision quickly. Although our location is remote enough and our appearance should not be enough to attract attention, it is impossible for this little guy to remain cautious throughout the entire process. Under such an intensive search, we were discovered
The possibility is not low. So should we send him back, or should we take him and set off immediately?"
"Have the supplies been replenished?"
"Everything is ready."
After looking at Su Xiaoluoli, who seemed to be happy for no apparent reason, and then at the little shota who kept releasing some kind of mysterious radio waves at him, Li Shushi smiled slightly...
Once again, he ravaged Mr. Shota's beautiful hair.
Before Xiao Zhengtai protested against Li Shushi's unscrupulous behavior, Li Shushi said to the Huanglong girl:
"I think you won't mind having one more cute little guy."
"As you wish."
It was the joy of exploring the unknown future, mixed with a little warmth that Li Shushi couldn't understand.
Pan Sen: There is news from the background that Dian Niang is indeed cleaning the network. As for why the network is being cleaned, just laugh. As for the result, this book has been written up to now. Is there any possibility of changing it? If
If one day he cannot be rescued, it can only be said to be fate.
By the way, a smart person in a certain place said it right. Through such a weird action, the trend of giving away B has become insignificant and swept away. It is really clever. (~^~)
