Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 358, Integrating Martial Artists
The innkeeper also sat over and took a jug of wine.
When the food arrived, Lu Jiuzhang realized how shabby this place was.
For one thousand taels of silver, there were four vegetarian dishes on the table, not to mention meat dishes, which was not much.
The staple food is steamed buns.
For ordinary people, such a meal is nothing.
But for warriors, it is far from enough.
People who practice martial arts consume too much every day and must supplement it with meat.
Otherwise, you will lack strength and find it difficult to practice.
"Is the entire training ground in such a miserable state?" Lu Jiuzhang frowned.
These warriors fought for the Zhou Dynasty, but they could not even eat meat.
"What a helpless move!"
The innkeeper poured Lu Jiuzhang a glass of wine, "A few months ago, Nanxiang County rebelled against the Zhou Dynasty and rebelled against the new emperor."
"Nanxiang County is also an important transportation thoroughfare. It is difficult for the material supplies of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be sent here."
Nanxiang County rebels against the new emperor?
Lu Jiuzhang was stunned!
Although I knew it would be uncomfortable, I didn't expect the change to happen so quickly.
"Not only Nanxiang County, I heard that several counties have begun to declare independence and declare war on the new emperor!" The warrior who was standing at the door just now agreed after devouring three steamed buns.
The innkeeper was not angry because of the warrior's interruption, but continued, "The supply of supplies has been cut off. Pei Yunzhang, the governor of Nanxiang County, only supplies a small amount of supplies every month!"
"There are so many warriors in the castle, which causes the price of food to rise!"
"Where is the Demon Slaying Division? Do the warriors from the Demon Slaying Division not care?" Peng Qiang asked anxiously.
It was the Demon Slayer Division who organized these warriors to come here. At the very least, they should protect these warriors.
"Demon Slayer Division? How can the Demon Slayer Division take care of it?" the innkeeper sneered, "Maybe these warriors were too hungry, so they came to the Demon Slayer Division one after another and asked for advice."
"But what solution can the Demon Slayer Division come up with from its stronghold here?"
"Then, the angry warriors burned down the Demon Slayer Division's stronghold."
"The person in charge of the Demon Slaying Department here is lucky to have run fast, otherwise he would probably have been beaten to death by these angry warriors!"
I see!
The Demon Slayer Division is gone, what use do those merit points have?
Merit points are not currency, but are established based on the prestige and power of the Demon Slayer Division.
The Demon Slayer Division’s stronghold here is gone!
Merit points are of course useless.
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, and then asked, "Then why don't we transfer supplies from Linjun? Linjun also has a training ground, so they are connected!"
"It's close to three counties, and it was also annexed by Nanxiang County!"
"Our trial ground has become a buffer zone between the demon clan and the human race. The reason why Nanxiang County Governor Pei Yunzhang provided a small amount of supplies is to keep us alive to fight against the demon clan!"
"But they don't let the warriors in the training ground eat too much. Otherwise, once they unite and attack Nanxiang County, it will be a big trouble for Pei Yunzhang."
Pei Yunzhang wants to kill all the human warriors in the training ground here.
In this case, he would not waste a single soldier. On the one hand, he would hold back the monsters in the trial field, and on the other hand, he would also consume all the human warriors in the trial field!
This person has such vicious methods!
"What about those monsters? Has no one taken action against those monsters? If that's the case, they should be able to be controlled for a while, but they are a bit dangerous." Little Fatty Zhou Zheng said.
"Difficult! Low-level monsters eat the corpses of human warriors all the year round. Most of the warriors feel a little nauseous!"
"As for monsters with high cultivation levels, they do not feed on human corpses, but they are too difficult to kill. Especially now that most of the top geniuses have disappeared in the trial field."
"Only us ordinary warriors are left alive! It's even more difficult!"
The innkeeper let out a long sigh.
The children of those big families were picked up from Linjun by strong men in their families when Nanxiang County declared its independence.
The remaining ordinary warriors have undoubtedly become pawns and have no value at all!
"Hey, the world is difficult! Even we have no hope. Just wanting to have a full meal before death has become a luxury!" The warrior who had been eating said slowly.
"How much food do you have in your inn?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Most of them are vegetarian dishes, with very little meat," the innkeeper said.
"I will pay three million taels of silver to take out the food from all the inns in the city and make it into meals!" Lu Jiuzhang said to the innkeeper, "Make as much as you can so that the warriors in the castle can have a full meal or even half a full meal.
It will be all right!"
"Three...three million taels of silver?"
The innkeeper was stunned.
"Isn't it enough?" Lu Jiuzhang said solemnly.
"Not enough!" The innkeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Sir, you know that the meals sent by Nanxiang County are extremely expensive. The few dishes you just ate are worth at least nine hundred and fifty in terms of cost.
Ten taels of silver."
"I just earn the hard work of processing!"
"Those warriors in Nanxiang County are extremely cunning. They earn a lot of money with a small amount of food. Every time I make a purchase, I have to spend at least five hundred thousand taels!"
"Together all the inns in the entire castle would cost at least five million taels of silver to buy all the food."
"It is almost a luxury to feed everyone in the castle. It would be good to feed a quarter."
There were originally tens of thousands of warriors in the nameless castle, but now there are only about eight or nine thousand left. Most of the warriors are hungry and clinging to the city.
"Then five million taels of silver!"
Lu Jiuzhang was a little angry at what Pei Yunzhang had done.
They are all human warriors. Even if their positions are wrong, these warriors are fighting monsters on the front line.
But he behaved like this, he is simply a villain!
"Gather all the food in the city together and start cooking!" Lin Yi took out the bodies of seven or eight big monsters from the storage ring. "These big monsters did not eat human corpses, so you can eat them with confidence."
"They are all great demons, and their essence and blood are mellow. It is not suitable for low-level warriors to eat too much, as they will easily die from exhaustion."
The innkeeper looked at the bodies of these big monsters and was a little surprised, "May I ask who you are?"
"Lu Jiuzhang!"
Lu Jiuzhang reported his name.
"May I ask, are you a student of the great Confucian Master Xu?"
the innkeeper asked again.
"Yes, it's me!" Lu Jiuzhang looked at the innkeeper, "Tell the warriors in the city that they don't have to believe me, but please believe Master Xu!"
Even after using Master Xu's name, these warriors still have some respect for him.
Even though martial arts and Confucianism are incompatible, Master Xu has a great reputation and is the most famous Confucian in the world.
These warriors can call the Confucian scholars slanderous scholars, but they dare not disrespect the great Confucian Master Xu.
Just like Confucian scholars call warriors barbarians who only know how to use brute force, but they dare not speak arrogant words to those who are strong in martial arts.
Have respect for the strong!
We need to have more respect for Master Xu! This chapter has been completed!
