On the other side, Ahudala and his entourage hurried back to Haoyue City.
After returning to the city, Ahhudala immediately sent his men to find out how to buy kerosene. No matter whether it was the white market or the black market, as long as they could get kerosene.
Ahudala himself went back to the palace, changed his clothes, and hurried into the palace to see his father.
When Ahudala arrived at the palace, it was already dark.
After waiting outside the palace gate for half an hour, the king sent his attendants to lead Ahudala into the palace.
On the way to the palace, Ahudala realized that his father was not in good health today. He had been suffering from headaches all day long and was already very tired.
When Ahudala entered the palace, the king was sitting on the couch, and a palace maid stood behind the couch. The palace maid was pressing the acupuncture points on the king's head carefully and carefully.
The king closed his eyes and enjoyed it, but his brows were still furrowed and showed no sign of relaxing.
After Ahudala came in, he first bowed and said hello: "Ahhu went out early in the morning. I didn't know that my father had a headache, so he couldn't come to visit in time. I asked my father to punish me."
The king opened his eyes slightly, looked at Ahudala, and said softly: "It's okay."
"How do you feel, father? Is your headache relieved?" Ahudala asked with concern.
The king said: "Nothing's wrong anymore. This is an old problem. Just take some medicine and rest for a while."
"That's good, Ahu will be relieved then."
Ahudala was in pretty good condition when he heard his father speak, so he felt a little relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The king asked lightly: "You came into the palace so late, could it be because of the military expenses?"
Ahudala immediately shook his head and said seriously: "No, father, Ahhu has already found a way to solve the military expenditure issue..."
"Oh? How to solve it?" After hearing this, the king's eyes suddenly opened wider.
Ahudala said: "Going back to my father, after discussion, our husband and wife wrote a letter back to Mo Feng City and asked for help from my father-in-law. Soon my father-in-law and the others will launch a fund-raising event in Mo Feng City. When the time comes,
All the silver will be sent to the hands of the Luna Army as military expenditure."
"I see." The king nodded after hearing this and said, "Thanks to your father-in-law for helping me this time."
Ahudala said: "What my father said is that this time it is indeed thanks to the great help of my father-in-law. Ahu thought that after the money raised arrives, my father can issue a commendation order to express our gratitude.
"
The king nodded and said: "Well, that's what it should be... By the way, when will this batch of raised money be shipped to the treasury?"
"Uh..." The king's question made Ahudala pause for a moment.
The king was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Ahudala took a deep breath, raised his voice slightly and said: "Father, this batch of raised money will not be transported to the treasury. Mo Feng City will directly send people to send the raised money to the Luna Army Camp.
."
"What did you say?" The king immediately sat up straight and his head immediately separated from the maid's hands.
Immediately afterwards, the king dismissed the maids around him, and soon only the father and son were left in the palace.
The king stared at Ahudala closely, frowned and asked, "Did you ask Mo Fengcheng to transport the collected silver directly to Qingyuan Pass?"
Ahhudala looked serious, nodded and said: "Yes, father."
"This is against the rules, don't you know?" the king asked.
"Of course this Ahu knows..." Ahudala even looked solemn and said solemnly: "But father, now the people of Piz have invaded the border with a large number of troops, and have begun to launch an offensive on the pass, and the Luna Army
It is a time when military expenditures are urgently needed to replenish supplies. If this raised money is transported to Haoyue City first, and then put into and out of the warehouse, how much time will be lost in this coming and going."
The king was a little displeased and asked: "Is... the Treasury does things as slowly as you said?"
Ahudala became a little anxious and immediately said: "Father, now that the battle at the pass has begun, time is of the essence. Even if the Treasury can do things as fast as lightning, it will take half a day to go in and out, not to mention raising money."
The silver was transported from Mo Feng City to Haoyue City and then to Qingyuan Pass. This itself was a detour, so Ahu thought why not transport it directly from Mo Feng City to Qingyuan Pass to save more money for the Moon God Army.
It’s time to come.”
Ahudala's words made the king unable to find fault for a moment. Indeed, as Ahudala said, the distance from Mofeng City to Qingyuan Pass is shorter than that to Haoyue City, and the transportation to the library at this time is
It is completely redundant for the government to handle the import and export of goods from the warehouse.
"That's all. Since you have negotiated with Mo Fengcheng, let's handle this matter according to your wishes. However, the treasury still keeps a record. After all, it cannot be omitted from the books. Do you understand?" the king said.
Ahudala was very happy and immediately raised his hand and said: "Ahu understands, thank you father."
The king waved his hand and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ahudala nodded immediately, stepped forward and said: "Father, there is another very urgent matter. I hope that my father can help me think of a way."
"What's going on?" the king asked curiously.
Ahudala took another step forward and said with a stern face: "Father, this morning I went to Qingyuan Pass to deliver crystal stones, and I happened to encounter the Pitz people launching an offensive..."
In the following time, Ahudala began to describe the scene he experienced on the pass to his father in as much detail as possible...
The king had a headache at first, but after listening to this, he devoted himself to the war. When he heard that the Pitz people used thickened wooden curtain cars and calamus cars to cleverly connect to fill the soil, but he had no effective countermeasures.
My face turned red, my palms became sweaty, and I forgot all about my headache.
After a while, the king no longer wanted to hear how the Pitz people easily filled up the earth barrier mountain, so he asked irritably: "Don't talk about that now, tell me first, what method did General Fan use to block the Pitz people?"
Who is this round of offensive? Tell me quickly..."
Ahudala was extremely serious and said in a deep voice: "Fire oil!"
"At General Pang's suggestion, General Fan used kerosene and instantly burned the Piz people's wooden chariot to ashes, which temporarily slowed down the Piz people's attack." Ahudala said.
The king couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed in relief: "Okay, it's cooked well, it's cooked beautifully."
Ahudala showed a worried look and said: "But my father, the fire oil reserves in Qingyuan Pass are already running low. If we don't replenish them quickly, next time the Piz people launch an attack, we may not be able to do anything!"
"
The king said anxiously: "Then...then hurry up and add it!"
Ahudala said loudly: "Father, our Muyue Kingdom does not produce kerosene. In addition, kerosene is a military item. It can be said that it is priceless but has no market! When Ahu returned to the city just now, he had already
He sent people around to find out where he could buy kerosene, but Ahu knew in his heart that the result would be very slim... So, Father, I have to ask you to think of something to do about the kerosene!"
"Let me think, let me think..."
The king was pacing back and forth anxiously, with a sad look on his face.
Ahudala did not dare to disturb him and stood aside with a solemn expression, hoping that his father would come up with a solution.
After a moment, the king suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "Ahu, I suddenly remembered that we purchased a large amount of supplies with Sheng Guo in the early years, and one of them was kerosene. If I remember correctly,
, this batch of kerosene was later stored in the warehouse of the city defense army. Why don't you go look for it right away, and if the kerosene is still there, you can immediately transport it to Qingyuan Pass for emergency response!"
The city defense army mentioned by the king is the army responsible for protecting Haoyue City, and the eldest prince Kalugala is the commander of this army.
Ahudala immediately said after hearing this: "Father, I will go to the eldest prince and ask him to open the city defense army's warehouse."
"Okay." The king nodded.
The next moment, Ahudala bowed quickly to his father, then turned around and left quickly.
