- Lin Li walked into the lobby of the inn, planning to order some food from the store and prepare some dry food for the road!
This inn combines eating, drinking, and lodging. It is the largest inn in the city!
Lin Li likes this shop not because he is good, but because he can help customers take care of their horses.
In fact, in Lin Li's opinion, this store is simply too much. If he didn't have no choice, he wouldn't come here!
When Lin Li walked into the lobby, there were not many customers in the store. The shopkeeper was looking through the account books in front, with a sad look on his face!
Lin Li has seen his face too many times along the way!
Most of the people in Zhao Kingdom are like this!
Because of the Changping War between Qin and Zhao a few years ago, the murderer Bai Qi killed the Zhao State with 400,000 surrendered soldiers. The Zhao State experienced an unprecedented defeat, the domestic male population dropped sharply, and the economy was in depression, which can be said to be gloomy.
Lin Li is still very interested in Bai Qi, the God of Killing. Unfortunately, after the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi shocked the Lord with his great achievements but did not know how to restrain himself. He was sentenced to death by King Qin Zhaoxiang!
Although Bai Qi died, the blood feud between Qin and Zhao has been forged!
The people of Qin are quite unpopular in Zhao State!
If the identities of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng are exposed, it will be difficult to move forward immediately!
"Shopkeeper, help me prepare some food and wine, take them to my room, and prepare some dry food by the way, and we'll pay the bill together!" Lin Li walked up to the boss, took out a tael of gold, and threw it on the bar!
When the boss saw Jin Zi, his original sadness immediately disappeared, and a smile spread across his face, and he said: "I'll forgive you objectively, I'll prepare this meal right away. Only this wine, the shop really doesn't have it!"
Lin Li asked curiously: "Your wine shop is open for business, but why doesn't it even have wine?"
Why does the boss think so: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Not only is there no wine in the shop, I'm afraid you can't find a drop of wine even if you search all over the city!"
"Why is this?"
At this time, a diner next to him shouted: "Because all the food is used to support the frontline soldiers, naturally there is no food to make wine!"
The person who spoke was a burly man, in his early forties, with a scar that spanned half of his face!
Lin Li felt a sense of military spirit in him. It seemed that this person was a veteran!
"Old Liu, please stop saying a word!" The boss seemed to be afraid of the big man.
"Humph!" The big man named Lao Liu snorted coldly, but said nothing!
Lin Li learned from Ying Zheng that Qin and Zhao had invested heavily in the Battle of Changping. Both sides had assembled millions of troops, and it was almost a battle that would overwhelm the country!
The most terrifying thing is that the Battle of Changping lasted three years!
Two million troops, three years of unparalleled war, not only reduced the national strength of the two countries, but also consumed an incalculable amount of food and grass!
Qin State is a little better, with the rich Bashu land as backup, and it has been able to relax in the past two years.
"But it was a disaster for the Zhao State. Not only was the million-strong army burned to the ground, but even the national treasury was emptied. There was not even one able-bodied man left in the country!"
Liquor is brewed from grain, and only when there is a good harvest can there be surplus grain to make wine. Unfortunately, Zhao State ran out of grain and grass, the fields were barren, and a large amount of war compensation had to be paid, so a "prohibition on alcohol" was issued across the country.
Of course, this ban only applies to common people. Those nobles naturally have old wine in their homes, but it is a pity that Lin Li cannot drink it!
"Since there is no wine, prepare some food!" Lin Li sighed, and then said to the boss: "Prepare some hot water, I want to take a shower!"
The boss looked at Lin Li, who was dressed in simple but neat clothes, strangely. He didn't understand why he was taking a bath?
In this era, bathing is a troublesome thing. Ordinary people only go to the bathhouse to take a bath every ten and a half months.
"If your guest wants to take a bath, why not go to the bathhouse two streets ahead? The facilities in the small shop are simple and may not be to your liking!"
Lin Li actually wanted to give Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng a bath. The two of them had been involved in a long journey and almost stunk.
"It's such a troublesome thing, let's forget it!" Lin Li waved his hand, ignored the boss, and went upstairs alone!
Diner Liu looked at Lin Li's back and said disdainfully: "Where does this noble man come from? He is so particular!"
The boss complained to Lao Liu: "Just eat your food! It's hard for me to have a big business, so don't ruin it for me!"
Old Liu chuckled and said: "Old Chen, this fat sheep is fat enough, and it will be gold as soon as you sell it!"
When Lao Chen took the gold given by Lin Li, his face was already filled with joy!
¡¡¡¡
Lin Li returned to the room and found that there was no sound from Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng's room, but??You can also detect the breath of the two people.
The two of them obviously noticed Lin Li's return, so they stopped talking to each other to prevent Lin Li from listening.
Lin Li has long been aware of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng's guard against him, which is reasonable!
They have known each other all their lives, and they came together because of business. It¡¯s strange that they trust each other!
"You just clean up and then go to my room to eat!"
Lin Li said something outside the door, regardless of whether Zhao Ji and the others could hear it, and went back to his room.
Soon the store prepared some meals, including vegetables and meat, quite sumptuous!
Not long after the food was served, Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng came over to eat!
Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng were nibbling dry food all the way. When they saw a table of delicious food, their eyes lit up. However, they were very polite. Even if they thought about it, they restrained the urge to reach out!
Lin Li invited the two of them to sit down, and then started eating by himself. However, as soon as the food was in his mouth, Lin Li's expression changed!
"You can't eat this food!" Lin Li vomited out the food and stopped Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji from eating!
Zhao Ji was startled and subconsciously knocked the food out of Ying Zheng¡¯s hand!
"These foods are drugged!" Lin Li frowned and released his spiritual power to sense his surroundings.
Because of the strange energy in the air, Lin Li's psychic perception was greatly reduced, and he would get a splitting headache every time he used his psychic power!
This greatly reduced his control over his surroundings, and he was not even aware of being bullied!
"We are exposed!"
Lin Li grabbed the hands of Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji and kicked the window to pieces. The three of them jumped out of the window, and then found that the inn where they were was surrounded by groups of soldiers!
The shopkeeper of the inn and the diner Liu just now are among the soldiers!
Lin Li put Ying Zheng on his back, picked up Zhao Jifei and climbed onto the roof, only to find a big net dropped!
There is also an ambush on the roof!
Lin Li discovered that the big net covering his head shone with metallic luster. It turned out to be an iron net with many barbs on it, faintly glowing with black light!
"Toxic!"
Lin Li hugged Zhao Ji tightly, carried Ying Zheng on his back, and walked against the wind, turning three times in mid-air to avoid the iron net.
The soldiers on the ground didn¡¯t show any surprise when they saw Lin Li flying into the sky, as if they were used to it!
Before Lin Li could take a breath, he found countless arrows and crossbows flying towards him, making him unable to avoid them!
Suddenly, Lin Li felt a huge crisis, and the source was the arrow in the sky!
If it were an ordinary arrow, Lin Li wouldn't care at all!
It can make him feel a sense of crisis. It is naturally not an ordinary arrow!
Without hesitation, Lin Li unsheathed the "Tao-Seeking Sword" instantly, used his energy to control the sword, and knocked down the arrows in front of him!
People also retreated to the roof!
Before Lin Li could stand firm, he realized that the iron net was coming towards him again!
The Qiu Dao Sword turned in a circle and headed towards the iron net again. What surprised Lin Li was that the iron net was made of someone who didn't know what material it was made of. The Qiu Dao Sword couldn't cut through it with its sharp edge. Instead, it was rolled up!
"Eh! Talisman!?" Lin Li's sharp eyes found that there were a lot of paper charms posted on the iron net! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
