Chapter 226

"Is it true that we can't sell any grain to us? This price can also be said to be very high." The businessman said to the villagers in the village eagerly.

His eyes scanned the huge barn behind the villagers, and an involuntary greedy smile appeared on his mouth.

In the impression of businessmen.These villagers are all ignorant farmers, as long as they are given enough money, they will sell him the food that is now in short supply.

"I've sold all the food to you, what are we going to eat? Are we starving to death in the field?" The villagers looked at the merchants with a look of resistance.

They took a step forward tensely, as if they were afraid that these merchants would snatch their food away.

"It was you people who bought all our grain a few days ago, and now you are here again, what kind of tricks are you playing?" The farmer's words were like sharp knives stabbing at the grain-hungry businessman. heart.

He pointed to a large cart parked in the distance, which was piled with some grain purchased from other villages, but the quantity was very limited.

He asked angrily, "Are you trying to move all the food we have here and sell it at a high price in the city? Are you trying to kill us farmers?"

"We have already seen through all your damn tricks, and thought we were ignorant country folks who didn't understand anything?"

The businessman looked confused, as if he wanted to do something, but seeing the strong figures of these farmers, he let go of his thoughts.

He knew that he did not have enough manpower and force, and if he forcibly seized food, it would only cause greater riots.

He lowered his head and walked slowly towards the distance, but his slow pace and unwilling expression still showed that he didn't want to give up so early.

After all, the price of a bag of high-quality flour in the city has grown so much.

Every bag of grain transported back to the city is a good opportunity for him to make a fortune, and he will not let go of any such opportunity.

"Maybe I should go to that tavern to have a look." The merchant thought.Maybe there is some news in that magical tavern that can lead him to find more food sources.

Zhao Wuji watched the businessman leave the village entrance.

He felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. Why couldn't the villagers sell their grain before harvesting?Generally, there is still a lot of old grain available for use in the granary at this time.

Could it be that because of the disappearance of those landlords and nobles in the Wuhun Palace, these villagers would only eat up all the food with profligate feasting?Zhao Wou-ki couldn't help thinking maliciously

When he lifted his feet and prepared to go to the next village.His eyes were drawn to a deep rut on the side of the road.

The tires displayed on the ruts are unusually wide, and there are some grains of wheat hidden in the mud, which caught Zao Wou-ki's attention.

"It was you people who bought all the food a few days ago." That's how it is.I would like to see who has such a great ability to buy up all the grain in all the nearby villages.

Zao Wou-ki pursued the looming ruts, and headed for the distance.The faculty member stepped into a complex affair under circumstances he hadn't anticipated.

Even after so many days of wind and rain, the heavy marks left by the winding car on the dirt road in the country did not disappear.

Zao Wou-ki followed these ruts all the way, trying to find out their origin and destination.He felt that these carts must have carried a lot of food, otherwise they would not have left such deep marks on the mud.

But what puzzled Zao Wou-ki was that these ruts did not spread towards any big city, but meandered towards the south.Headed towards the mountain range between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

"What's going on here? How could someone live in the mountains and buy a lot of food, could it be bandits? Or rebels?" Zhao Wuji was full of doubts.

He couldn't understand why anyone would choose to live in such a remote and dangerous place and need so much food.

He thought of some major events that happened recently, the rise of Wuhundian, the disappearance of landlords and nobles, the turmoil between cities and villages, and his intuition told him that these cars might be related to these things.

Even he himself didn't know, driven by his curiosity, he gradually moved away from the range of Soto City.

The surrounding trees gradually began to grow thicker, and the dirt road gradually became narrower.Zao Wou-ki followed the rut, unknowingly, he had already gone deep into a path that was rarely traveled by.

This path seems to lead to a hidden place in the mountains, Zhao Wou-ki felt a mysterious and strange aura.

The surrounding forests gradually began to convey a trace of malice.Let Zao Wou-ki's fine hair stand up subconsciously, his survival instinct told himself that this place is already a dangerous place.

He heard some strange sounds from the woods, like the roar of wild animals, warning birds, and some unknown noises.

He even felt that there were pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, waiting for the right moment.

Out of self-confidence in his own strength, Zhao Wuji walked forward with meteoric strides, not afraid of any danger at all.But accidents always come unexpectedly in this situation.

The attack came in front of Zhao Wuji in an instant.A silver light, like a sharp blade, cut through the air and went straight to Zhao Wuji's throat.

Veteran soul sage Zao Wou-ki is not an opponent who can be knocked down by a sudden attack.

"Fudo Ming King Body!" For a soul sage, releasing his first soul skill in an instant is the ability to take care of his family.

The attack flying from the dark was instantly bounced off by the golden light of Fudo Myoko's body.And Zao Wou-ki's sharp eyes have locked on to the enemy attacking in the direction of his attack.

"Location tracking!" The purple soul ring flew out instantly, firmly locking on to the enemy in the dark.

Zao Wou-ki squatted down to gather strength and made a leap, and came in front of the enemy. He took a closer look, hehe, it was just a soul master.

"I didn't expect that the current soul masters have such courage and dare to attack the soul saints. The young people nowadays are really amazing." Zhao Wuji showed a ferocious smile on his face.The powerful vajra palm split out instantly.

There was a burst of toothache bone cracking, and a viscous sound mixed with flesh and blood, the enemy had already been killed by Zhao Wuji's bear's paw.

Zhao Wuji, who is familiar with the distribution and strength of the powers in the mainland, knows that there are actually not many powers that can invite the Soul Lord.

For those mountain thieves who are not well-known, Hun Zun is already capable of being ranked in the top few positions.

The mysterious forces here actually use the Soul Venerable as a secret whistle?It's terribly extravagant.

Zao Wou-ki, who was still a bit contemptuous of the situation, raised his spirits. He knew that what he was about to face before was not as easy as he had imagined. Maybe here he would meet an opponent at the level of a soul sage.

And in his mind, he also changed the definition of this group of mysterious organizations from thieves to nobles or rebels.

Zao Wou-ki, as an elite person who can be wanted from the Wuhun Temple and retreat from the hunt, is naturally familiar with how to detect the whistle.

Next, in the dark forest, birds startled from time to time, and the master of the dark was surprised to find that his subordinates disappeared like snowflakes.

Zhao Wuji was thinking in his own way, this group of enemies announced that King Fudo Ming is coming.
