God of Fire

Chapter 47 Resource Grabbing

Li Liehuo has been teaching Li Hao the use of the Fire Cloud Palm for a long time recently. Li Hao is indeed a genius in learning martial arts. In just a few days, he basically mastered the essence of the Fire Cloud Palm. It takes time to hone in on it.In addition, Li Liehuo is still helping Man Niu improve his dark body-training fighting skill, black sand steel body. Li Liehuo now has countless fighting skills and thousands of secret methods in his mind, although 90.00% of these nine Li Liehuo Li Huo should not be able to practice because of his poor strength, but it is still possible to learn from it to help Man Niu improve his skills.

"Agni, we have a mission recently." One morning, Li Hao suddenly said to Li Liehuo.

"Mission? Isn't our mission to snatch the identity cards of the other family's children?" Li Liehuo asked in confusion.

"Snatch the identity card? That's just one of our tasks. Liehuo, do you know what this frontier fortress is for?" Li Hao looked at Li Liehuo solemnly and asked.

"It goes without saying, of course it is used to resist the enemy's attack." Li Liehuo replied without thinking.

But to Li Liehuo's surprise, Li Hao heard only one word: "Wrong!"

Li Hao's answer took Li Liehuo by surprise. He really couldn't think of any other uses for this huge fortress besides defending against the enemy's attack.

"Senior Brother Li Hao, tell me, what is this fortress used for if it's not for defense?" Li Liehuo asked puzzled.

"Defense? What are you defending? Is there anyone still fighting for this barren land in the desert? In fact, the real purpose of this fortress is to rob resources." Li Hao replied firmly.

"Seize resources? What resources to rob? We have neither minerals nor fertile land in the burning desert. What resources can we rob?" Li Liehuo asked puzzled.

"Agni, tell me, what is the most precious thing on our burning desert?" Li Hao asked, staring at Li Liehuo carefully.

"Of course it's water!" Li Liehuo replied without thinking. Although Li Liehuo had never felt the lack of water in the city lord's mansion, what Li Liehuo heard the most from ordinary people was this Monthly water is not enough.

Hearing Li Liehuo's answer, Li Hao nodded, then shook his head and said, "You're right, but not entirely right."

"Senior Brother Li Hao, please express it clearly." Li Liehuo was aroused and asked quickly.

"Water is indeed the most precious thing on the Burning Desert, but there are two most precious things on the Burning Desert, and you only got half of the answers right." Li Haobi raised two fingers, and then withdrew another finger Said.

"Two? Apart from water, what else is the most precious?" Li Liehuo asked suspiciously. He really couldn't think of anything in the Burning Desert that could rival the preciousness of water.

"Of course it is the "Road to Prosperity"! On the Burning Desert, the most precious things are water and the "Road to Prosperity"! If there is no water, then we cannot survive. If there is no road to prosperity, then our Cangyan Empire If the twelve main cities in the city become as barren as the barren land, even towns will be difficult to form." Li Hao said while looking at Li Liehuo with a smile.

"That's right, why didn't I think of it, the "Prosperity Road" is the absolute income of almost all cities, without the Prosperity Road, these towns would definitely not be able to operate." Li Liehuo looked suddenly enlightened, but then came another New doubts: "But, what does this have to do with our fortress? It seems that this fortress has not become a foothold for merchants, right?"

Hearing Li Liehuo's words, Li Hao looked at Li Liehuo with an expression that you don't even know about this: "Lenghuo, don't you know that our frontier fortress is located on the north bank of the Rhine River, and almost all the water used in Xianyang City is It was transported from the Rhine River. If it is a year when the Rhine River has plenty of water, of course there is no need to compete for water sources, but if there is a year when the Rhine River has less water, this fortress will come in handy. In this fortress, enough Xianyang can be stored. The city uses six months of water, and more than 1 people in the town can participate in water transportation, which is very important for water grabbing.”

"So that's the case, then what's the matter with the "Road to Prosperity" you mentioned, and what does this fortress have to do with the "Road to Prosperity"?" Li Liehuo continued to act as Xiaobai.

"The relationship between this is very important. You must know that the road from here to Yandu on the "Prosperous Road" is not the only road from our Xianyang City, and this border fortress is the gate of our Xianyang City. You said, in Among the many forked roads, do they choose to pay the toll and take the "prosperous road" with fortresses, or choose to take the road with nothing else?" Li Hao asked with a smile.

"Of course I chose a fortress. Those merchants don't care about these two tolls. The road with a fortress must be much safer. At least, if you encounter desert thieves or monsters attacking near the fortress, you can call for help from the army in the fortress. "Li Liehuo said as a matter of course.

Hearing Li Liehuo's words, Li Hao nodded in satisfaction: "Then now, you finally know the function of this fortress, right?"

Indeed, the function of this fortress is just as Li Hao said, and what Li Liehuo said before is to resist the attack of the hostile main city family is completely superfluous.

The sphere of influence of each main city has remained uncertain for tens of thousands of years. If two families on the border break out to fight for land, then the main city behind these two families will definitely not remain silent.Therefore, the main city did not give instructions, and neither the Li family nor the Zhao family would dare to seize the other party's land.

"Brother Li Hao, what kind of mission did you say we are going out to perform today? Could it be related to the two most precious things on the Burning Desert?" Li Liehuo asked expectantly.

"Hehe, you guessed it right, the water level of the Rhine River is relatively shallow today, so we have to dig a canal in advance to lead the river water to the fortress for storage. However, the two families on the opposite side may not be happy to see our Li family occupy so much The source of water, so Commander Soros asked us to go with the two banner leaders, he and the remaining two banner leaders have other things to do." Li Hao said to Li Liehuo.

"Huh? You said two families. Could it be that there are two families on the opposite side? Which other family is there besides the Zhao family?" Li Liehuo asked puzzled.

"It's not just on the opposite side, we also have two families. It's just that Xiangyang City, which is allied with us this year, didn't send out the family's children. As for the opposite side, it's the Zhao family and the Zhang family. You have seen the Zhao family. Even the members of their family No.1 was captured by you boy, I believe it will not cause any trouble. However, the Zhang family is more difficult. The Zhang family is a medium-sized family with four cities. Almost every time their children are tested in the past, they will have Bronze-level family children will participate, and sometimes even two or three bronze-level children will be sent out. It is precisely because of this that in the past family trials, our two families often eliminated many people and passed the test. There are few people." When Li Hao said this, a warlike light flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to meet the masters of the Zhao family for a while.

"My dear, the family of four cities is really awesome. Brother Li Hao, you are right, we should act first, otherwise, wait until the Zhang family, the big stomach king with four mouths Come on, we must drink up our water." Li Liehuo said nervously.

"Hehe, I think so too. Let's go, the two banner chiefs are already waiting for us outside, you prepare yourself, I will call the children of our family, and we will gather at the gate of the fortress later." Li Hao After giving Li Liehuo an order, he walked outside.

"Man Niu, let's go, start work." Li Liehuo doesn't need to make any preparations at all, he just needs to take the thug Man Niu and the little guy Wulu with him. Originally, Li Liehuo planned to take Ling'er out to relax , but when I thought that I might have to fight with the other party today, it would not be good if the blood flew straight and stained Ling'er's clothes.

"Grandma, there's finally a fight. These days, Man Niu has been in a panic." Hearing Li Liehuo's call, Man Niu hurriedly rushed out with his giant ax in his hands.

"Old Niu, I think you have enjoyed teaching those boys in my family every day these days, and you still say that you are in a panic? This road has to be taken step by step. If the steps are too big, be careful. Egg." Li Liehuo said with a smile.

"Hey..." Hearing what Li Liehuo said, Man Niu rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. In the past few days, in the name of teaching and learning, he has taught a group of Li family's children to the point of pain, achieving the goal of producing two pandas per day. Li Liehuo and Li Hao turned a blind eye to the high production value of several digits. These Li family children were too smooth and smooth in the family before, so they should be given some suffering.

As soon as Li Liehuo and Man Niu arrived at the gate of the fortress, they heard a capable female voice: "Well, everyone is here now, everyone is ready to go."

It was Wen Tingfang, head of the First Banner, who spoke. At this time, Wen Tingfang was riding a white horse, wearing a black leather armor, and still wearing a black veil. The figure is still so hot.

"Hey, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the two banner leaders that Li Hao mentioned were Wen Tingfang and Luo Su, and this Russell was fine, as he was the soy sauce. But this Wen Tingfang is a beauty, no, I still How can you say that she is a beauty if you haven't seen her true face in Lushan. But to be honest, there is absolutely nothing to say about this chick's figure. The place that should be concave is concave, and the place that should be convex is convex. Ouch, she is really domineering. The leather armor is almost torn by him! No, I have to find a chance to see her true face sometime, I hope I won't be disappointed..." Li Liehuo followed at the end of the army, his eyes were motionless Landing on top of Wen Tingfang's two round pairs, one in the front and one in the back, he had no idea where his thoughts had gone, but the three-foot happy thread left at the corner of Li Liehuo's mouth showed that this guy had absolutely no good intentions in his mind. Definitely thinking about something so impure.
