Tiehu walked on the official road with a bamboo hat and gauze hat, and walked towards Fadula together with Iron Leopard. Although there is no need to worry about eating and drinking in the mountains, Xiao Chen and the others still have no way to get some daily necessities by themselves, so they have to go out to the nearest city Fadula Dora buys.

Although Huating has experienced a big war, Fadullah still maintains his low-key prosperity. Black market merchants will not stop their business because of the war. On the contrary, war is their opportunity to make a fortune. A large amount of food, grass and weapons flow into the black market Huating was sold to the Huating Empire at a high price, and the huge profits it made were unimaginable.

Although the current Huating has been freed from the war, the wounds left by the war cannot be healed easily. The barren land and deserted villages are all vivid and cannot be covered up.Huating lost too many people in the war, most of them were young adults.

Also because of the war, the law and order in Huating plummeted, robbers ran rampant, burning, killing and looting abounded, and a large number of caravans suffered losses. This made the already dilapidated Huating economy even worse. The tax revenue is also gradually shrinking.Seeing this, the king immediately dispatched troops to suppress the bandits, and at the same time appeased the people. What the King of Huating is most worried about now is that there will be a civilian uprising. For the current Huating, this is an unbearable loss. If something goes wrong, Huating will Became the second Papal Duchy.

King Huating can only appease the old Luye tribe in the east who refused to obey orders. The current King Huating dare not move them at all. The 50 troops are there, and they are forced to rebel. King Huating The only option is to abdicate and make way for the virtuous. Even if there is no rebellion, in case of du li, then Huating will lose half of its territory, and Huating will really change from an empire to a principality.

After Tie Hu entered Fadula with a basket on his back, he and Tie Hu immediately split up to buy daily necessities.Fadulla is located on the border of Youyue Principality, and the war of the northern army has not burned here, so nothing has changed here, except that things are expensive.

In addition, the slave traders here became active. The war displaced a large number of civilians, including some minor nobles. The slave traders sent the captured slaves here for auction, and thousands of slaves were sold here every day. go out.

Tie Hu looked at the slaves being dragged by the slave trader, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. It wasn't that Tie Hu was sympathizing with these slaves, but that Tie Hu remembered his father's promise before his death.Tiehu once promised at his father's bedside before he died that if Huating was caught in a war, Tiehu would use his life to defend every inch of territory and every people in Huating.

However, when Huating was deeply involved in the flames of war, Tiehu became a wanted criminal of the empire and lived in the mountains. Although it was not Tiehu's fault, Tiehu was still sad that he could not fulfill his promise, because it was a man's. Promise, a son's vow to his father, but it's all gone.

Tiehu walks into Jubaozhai with a basket on his back, not because Tiehu is rich enough to go to such a high-end place to buy daily necessities, but because the only grocery store that can be opened in the entire Fadula and has stuff is Jubaozhai Yes, Jubaozhai is backed by the Sydney Silk Chamber of Commerce, so you are not afraid of not being able to get the goods, while other grocery stores have long since closed down or started other businesses because they have been cut off from the supply channels.

Tiehu left Jubaozhai wearing a simple suit, which immediately attracted their attention. The current Jubaozhai is not as good as before, because of the war, the cost of transportation has increased, and things are several times more expensive. Anyone who can buy things here is dressed in luxurious clothes. nobles and black market merchants.However, the owner of Jubaozhai saw the unusual aura emanating from Tiehu at a glance.

Tie Hu picked the things on the container casually. After taking what he wanted, Tie Hu went to the counter to pay the bill and then left. Before leaving, the owner of the Jubaozhai deliberately looked carefully Tiger.After Tiehu turned around and left the store, the boss of Jubaozhai frowned, then immediately turned and entered the back room.

When Tiehu came to the gate of the city, he saw that Iron Leopard had already bought something and was waiting for Tiehu at the gate of the city. After seeing Tiehu, Iron Leopard immediately greeted Tiehu with a smile and said, "Brother, you guess I found out?" What?"

Tie Hu smiled and said, "I found something that made you so happy."

With a mysterious face, Iron Leopard took out a package from the basket and shook it in front of Tie Hu's nose. A scent of flowers leaked out of the wrapper and penetrated into Tie Hu's nose. After smelling it, Tie Hu was shocked and said: "Yes Hua Chong Cake Candy, where did you find it? This thing is still sold?!"

Iron Leopard smiled and put away the flower insect cake and said with a smile: "I miss, when I was young, my mother often bought food for us to eat, and you often robbed me when you finished eating. Just now I met a peddler who came all the way. I can smell that smell. It’s been decades, but I still can’t forget the smell. I think I still have some money left, so I bought a pack and gave those little guys a taste.”

Tie Hu rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Let me try one first, to see if the taste is the same as before." Tie Hu took out two from the package with a blank smile.I saw that the whole body of the cake was silvery white, with some white powder on it, and on the silvery white cake, there were insect-like patterns, and at the same time, a scent of flowers wafted to the nostrils.

Tie Hu put the cake candy into his mouth, the sweet juice filled the whole mouth, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in his mouth, Tie Hu chewed it with enjoyment and said with a smile: "The taste is still so good." He chewed the candy in his mouth and said with a smile: "No, it's not in vain for me to catch up and buy a pack. Brother, it's getting late, let's go quickly." Tie Hu nodded and followed Iron Leopard towards the city gate go.

At this time, a slave trader with a bunch of slaves came in from the city gate. Iron Tiger and Iron Leopard stepped aside. The slave trader was a big bully of Fadullah, and Iron Tiger and Iron Leopard did not want to provoke them. Although these people are not powerful, they are very clingy. If their identities are exposed, they will be in trouble.

When the slave passed by, Tie Hu casually glanced at the slave passing by, suddenly Tie Hu was stunned, and he immediately turned his head to look at the slave.The slave was thin and thin, but his footsteps were straight and strong. Although the clothes were dirty and torn, Tie Hu could still tell that it was a noble dress.That person is none other than Heiqiu, the old housekeeper of the Luye family.

Just as Tiehu was about to turn his head and tell Iron Leopard, Iron Leopard had already chased him.Tiehu catches up and grabs Tiebao.Iron Leopard struggled a bit and said: "Brother, it's Uncle Heiqiu! Didn't you see it among the slaves?" Tie Hu whispered: "Don't shout, do you want to reveal your identity? How much money do you have?" ?”

Iron Leopard was stunned and quickly took out the money bag and looked at it: "57 silver coins, 23 copper plates." Tie Hu nodded and took the money bag and said: "You wait here, I will rescue Heiqiu back .” Iron Leopard nodded and stood where he was.

Tie Hu quickly followed the slave trader, and then stepped forward to chat with the slave trader. The slave trader saw that Tie Hu seemed to have a desire to buy, so he introduced his goods to Tie Hu. Tie Hu pretended to think about it, Then he bought Heiqiu with two gold coins. In the view of the slave trader, Heiqiu was an old man who could not be sold for a high price. Gave it to Tiehu.

Tiehu took the rope that bound Heiqiu and walked out of the city gate together with Iron Leopard. In fact, Heiqiu recognized Tiehu immediately after Tiehu approached. will not recognize.Heiqiu quietly followed Tiehu and Tiebao out of the city gate.

After coming outside, Tiehu immediately untied the rope from Heiqiu's hand and said, "Uncle Heiqiu, are you alright?"

Heiqiu looked at Tiehu and Iron Leopard with tears in his eyes, nodded and smiled, "Heiqiu is fine, seeing that the two masters are well, this old slave is relieved. Where are the madam and the young master?"

Iron Leopard smiled and said: "Uncle Heiqiu, don't worry. They are all fine. We will take you home now. Although life is not better than before, life is also better without intrigue. It was much more solid before.”

Heiqiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded with a smile: "It's good to be down-to-earth, it's good to be down-to-earth."

Tiehu wiped the dust off Heiqiu's face and said puzzledly: "Uncle Heiqiu, didn't I tell you to take the money away? Why are you still in the country? And why were you caught by slave traders? What about the others?"
