Game of Destiny: This player is different
Chapter 845
When the caravan arrived at the outskirts of the capital of Changde Prefecture, it was almost noon.
It shouldn't have taken that long, but they encountered a large number of hungry people harassing them along the way.
The merchants were unwilling to donate money on the spot,
fearing that the crowd would rush in and cause trouble,
so the escorts and porters had to bite the bullet and shout to drive them away.
In this way,
a lot of time was wasted, and violent conflicts almost broke out on the way.
I thought the situation would be better after entering the capital,
but when the caravan appeared on the official road into the city,
they were immediately shocked by the desolate scene in front of them and were speechless.
The dilapidated huts were densely packed near the city wall like psoriasis, and from a distance they looked like festering sores.
A large number of half-naked hungry people were either sitting on the ground or lying on straw mats in a daze,
and they didn't feel any life at all.
"Oh my god, when I came to Changde Prefecture a few years ago, it wasn't like this."
"You said a few years ago. Look at the scorching sun in the sky. It seems that there hasn't been a drop of rain for half a year. It's true."
"Why doesn't Changde Prefecture borrow grain from other counties?
If this goes on, I'm afraid there will be starvation."
The caravan members whispered to each other, with helplessness on their faces.
Ning Wushuang, riding a high-hipped chestnut horse, pulled the reins and came to the carriage: "Lei Biaotou, what do you think we can do? Good deeds will bring good results. We can't just watch so many people starve to death." Qin Nuo lifted the curtain and said lightly: "Of course I will help. Chief Escort, you go to the front and wait. I will go to find Shen Jinshan later." "Okay." The chestnut horse kicked away. The werewolf player Huo Leige came over: "I said you don't want to pretend anymore, and you are going to rob everyone? Let me make it clear in advance, we will not participate in such bad behavior that can easily reduce the task evaluation." "I How could such an upright and kind person do such an unscrupulous thing? "
Qin Nuo glanced at him in confusion,
"Let's not talk about these things. Have you investigated the suspicious persons in the past twenty days?
I have given you enough benefits, so you should have produced results, right?"
"It seems as if we have not done any work."
Lanis followed and joined in: "During the day, we have to help collect debts and appraise treasures, and at night we have to disguise ourselves and spy on intelligence.
Don't forget that many times the enemy attacked, it was our early warning that avoided greater casualties.
Otherwise, with the ability of this group of natives, they would have been wiped out in Huizhou Prefecture long ago. "
Qin Nuo looked around and signaled that there were ears on the wall, so come in and tell me in detail.
He has noticed several eyes spying in secret,
Obviously, as the caravan approached the old land of Nanzhao, the monsters became more and more unscrupulous.
"Chris, did you hear what they said?"
In a bull cart,
the elf player Delixia asked.
"They are too careful. They hide in the carriage when it comes to the key point."
Another elf player, Chris,
At this moment, he kept his head sideways and leaned forward, with his pointed ears pressed against the wooden board of the carriage.
"They also used soundproof props, so I can't hear any sound.
Why don't we try a pet?"
"No, the werewolves are good at hiding and tracking.
Pets are too tender for them, and it's easy for us to be exposed."
Delicia raised her hand to deny, with a helpless look in her eyes:
"If Serin and Serei were here, we wouldn't have to be so careful.
It's a pity that there is still no response after 20 days, and there is a high probability that they are gone.
I don't know how to explain to the Wind Whisper and Fire Heart families after I go back."
"They are just two low-level families, so what if I don't explain."
Chris sat up straight, with disdain in his words:
"At the beginning, they were the ones who begged to form a team,
Now everything is wrong. Because of their lack of strength, what does it have to do with us?
I don't believe that the Wind Whisper and Fire Heart families dare to challenge us. "
"Of course they dare not challenge us openly."
Delixia reached out and condensed a trace of extraordinary elements,
using camouflage magic to help cover the other party's pointed ears again:
"But the righteous will have many supporters, and the unrighteous will have few supporters.
Frost Whisper can stand firm,
not only because of its own foundation, but also because of the support of the small family it depends on.
You are the future heir to the clan leader, you have to change your temper, you know?
I can't always help you. "
"Why not?
When I become the clan leader, I will change the rules and establish a dual-decision system. "
Chris shrugged his shoulders and said unconvincedly: "I will take care of half, and you will take care of half. Whoever opposes, I will beat him."
"Nonsense."
Delixia looked at her brother who had not completely gotten rid of his childishness, and felt a little amused.
In addition to the elf players spying,
The character who goes by the alias Bai Qiaoling also lowered the curtain, and her pretty face showed a gloomy look.
In the past twenty days,
He tried many ways to get close to Lei Zhenyi, but with little success.
"Qing'er, I always said that person is not an ordinary person.
YouLearning the fox charm method is good for dealing with ordinary people, but it is not effective against masters. "
In the exquisite carriage, another figure sitting cross-legged spoke faintly.
"Brother, what do you say we should do?"
Bai Qiaoling cast a look for help.
"People are all made of flesh and blood, and there are very few people who are free of desires.
Have you not seen his recent behavior?"
The figure called the eldest brother took a deep breath and said:
"From what I see, he loves money.
But not yellow and white vulgar things,
but martial arts books, magic weapons and other treasures.
How about this,
The caravan is expected to stay in Changde Prefecture for one or two days,
I will find an opportunity to visit secretly and test his words.
If he has any bad intentions against Ning Wushuang, I will act according to the situation"
"Thank you very much, brother.
Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise I don't know what to do. "
While the two were talking, the caravan slowly drove into the capital.
After some pretense with the local officials, they settled down.
Qin Nuo found Shen Jinshan to discuss arrangements for disaster relief.
The latter still had some conscience.
He immediately mobilized everyone to donate money and materials with the slogan "When one side is in trouble, everyone is united."
When the local officials heard that the caravan was preparing for disaster relief,
they enthusiastically sent soldiers to
clear a vacant lot outside the city and help build a porridge shed.
But when they asked if there was firewood, rice, oil and salt in the government warehouse, , shaking his head and waving his hands repeatedly.
Qin Nuo asked Ning Wushuang to carry the banknotes he had raised,
and go to the rice shop in the city to buy grain, but he was rejected.
It turned out that the officials and businessmen in Changde Prefecture had colluded with each other,
and took advantage of the drought to frantically hoard grain and sell it at high prices to make huge profits.
The price of brown rice in Fucheng was 40 wen per bucket, and the price increased to 400 wen.
The price changed every day, only higher and never lower.
The store manager even arrogantly claimed that
for non-local people in the capital, the price would double.
"That man also said that the price would be the same if he reported to the authorities.
I almost couldn't help but whip him with a horsewhip."
Ning Wushuang frowned and said angrily.
"Fortunately you didn't do it, otherwise you would be arrested and blackmailed again."
Qin Nuo patted the other party on the shoulder and comforted him:
"No wonder the officials are so enthusiastic, it turns out that they are thinking of raising the price.
It is estimated that Changfeng and Zhiyuan will buy arrows and supplies in the same way. "
"What should we do?
We can only bite the bullet and buy grain at 800 coins per bushel,
and let those parasites make a lot of money?"
Ning Wushuang gritted his teeth, unwilling to accept this.
