The Sword Dynasty - 683. Chapter 682

With the transition of spring and summer on the ground, even the powerful Da Chu Dynasty collapsed, but in the cellar deep underground in Changling, even the temperature did not change much.

Hu Hai has gotten a little worse, and the skin on his body has also become strangely pale, even like many animals that have lived underground for a long time, there is even some faint fluorescence on his body.

However, he didn’t have many scars on his body at this time, and he didn’t even have chains and other restrictions, and he seemed to be able to move freely.

There were many thinly sliced bloody meat on the stone plate in front of him.

These pieces of meat are raw rat meat.

Because Shen Xuan stored a lot of food in this cellar, some rodents often came by sniffing the food, and these rodents naturally couldn’t escape Shen Xuan’s perception.

On the battlefield where Qin and Chu were fighting at this time, rat meat was sometimes used as emergency food. Many troops would dig three feet to dig up plant tubers and rodents to satisfy their hunger, but the rat meat now placed in front of Hu Hai did not do it. After careful cleaning, it was mixed with a lot of rat hair and dirt, and it looked extremely disgusting.

Every time his eyes fell on these smelly rat meat, Hu Hai retched, but he dared not make a sound.

Shen Xuan was standing not far in front of him, using an ugly rag to wipe off a blade fixed on the wall.

The time in the cellar was too long, so his movements were very slow and meticulous, as if he was polishing some jade, so he used this to pass the time.

“梼杌”

After a long time, he put down the cloth in his hand, said these two words, then looked at Hu Hai blankly, and said: “Eating it, it tastes very good, comparable to the most delicious food in the world.”

“梼杌” is a legendary beast that has long been extinct.

This fierce beast is only recorded in the classics in the world of very few practitioners, and there is even no authoritative record of how it looks.

Even the vast majority of practitioners today don’t even know the name of this fierce beast, let alone mention this unusual word.

However, the sound of these two words seemed to carry some strange magic.

Hu Hai, who had been unable to resist retching, heard these two words, a strange red cloud appeared on his extremely pale face, and even a naked greed appeared in his eyes.

He really seemed to have seen the best delicacy in the world, and almost fell on the stone plate.

He chewed with big mouthfuls, not only had he eaten all the bloody raw meat slices, but he hadn’t even missed every drop of blood on the stone plate.

Shen Xuan looked at him silently, still expressionless.

It was just that during the next few breaths, he lowered his head, thinking that he should be able to go out soon to see the Chang Ling above.

…

The Chang Ling above is very deserted.

The desolation comes from a huge cleanup after Ye Ce Leng’s rebellion and Minshan Jianzong Baili Suxue entered the palace.

Many officials were involved, many people died in battle, and many people left quickly for fear of being implicated in their lives.

The most important thing is that many sword schools and training grounds disappeared overnight, not because of the encirclement and suppression of the army, but because they could no longer stand the control of the palace.

A lively place today is Honghe Town, a small town on the bank of the Wei River outside Changling.

This is a port where many merchant ships berth. It is rich in pottery clay that can be used to make pottery. There are many merchant ships passing by. The mud at the bottom of the river is also red, making the entire river red.

The most urgent thing in the border war is food.

Next comes the carts and horses.

Naturally, the most in short supply is drugs, of which hemostatic drugs are particularly important.

However, as the weather becomes hot and humid, medicines to eliminate diarrhea and wound suppuration have suddenly become important.

Today, most of the ships docking on the banks of this small town are ships from some important merchants in Guanzhong, and those who have landed are the principals who are hard to see on weekdays, and some legendary wealthy people.

But the faces of these giants in Guanzhong are very ugly.

Because before everyone realized that all the medicines were in short supply, these wealthy Guanzhong suddenly discovered that several percent of hemostatic drugs, and most of the medicinal materials used to remove diarrhea and wound suppuration, had been taken into the bag by a mysterious wealthy businessman. .

Having a sense of smell ahead of everyone and hoarding scarce resources is understandable in the business field.

However, many finished medicinal materials are under the control of the court, and some companies must complete a certain amount within a limited time. When these raw materials are monopolized by people, and the price is flatly increased by several percent, the price of the finished medicines from these companies is not May be improved.

This is not just a matter of taking the opportunity to make money for war, it is simply stepping on the faces of all the rich and powerful people involved and paying money out of their pockets.

Who dares to do this?

It’s not just that the officials of various departments and these Guanzhong giants are inextricably linked, it’s not just that many practitioners go out from Guanzhong to become generals in the army. Even the vast majority of practice sites in Changling receive funding from these giants in Guanzhong every year.

The only thing that prevented these giants from completely attacking was that the money possessed by this mysterious figure was terrifying, otherwise it would not be possible to use such a thunderous method to completely buy out many medicinal materials in silence, and this mysterious figure gave them a talk. Opportunity to talk.

Xie Lianying embarked on the shore surrounded by several important figures in the pass, and walked to the quietest inn in the town.

As the head of the wealthy Guanzhong, this kind of challenge was naturally led by him to talk about it. However, he was worried at this time, but his mind was not on this.

After the Sword Sect of Minshan was destroyed, his daughter Xie Rou, who studied swords in the Sword Sect of Minshan, was missing. Before that, Xie Changsheng was also missing.

Compared with the news of a pair of children, this matter is not the most important to him right now.

However, when he walked into the quiet room in the deepest part of the inn alone according to the request of the other party, a sound that first came to his auricle made him stunned.

“Father.”

The sound of these two words is very familiar but strange.

“Long win?”

Xie Lianying’s eyes widened and looked at the young man in the dim light in disbelief.

His nose was a little bit sour inexplicably.

That wasn’t the son he had been worrying about all day long.

In the dim light, the son who was idle in the past seems to have become a lot more mature.

“In this way, letting you come and get an opportunity to meet with you is not actually a business and medicinal problem.” Xie Changsheng bowed deeply, saluted his father, who was thinking about it day and night, and said softly.

“What’s the meaning?”

Xie Lianying stayed for a long time, and some recovered, “What are you doing, how can you do such a thing?”

When the father and son met in this situation, Xie Changsheng’s mood was very agitated. His hands were trembling slightly in his sleeves, but his face was extremely serious. He did not answer his father’s question, but quickly and softly said: “Zheng Xiu is about to be right. Let’s do it in Guanzhong.”
