Chapter 86 Northern Wei
  "Oh, Xuan, you really can't get rid of the traitors around you. I don't know if it's because you are so unpopular."

Hearing his friend's teasing, the man in black showed no emotion on his face.

He just said lightly: "We haven't checked yet, so how can we easily draw a conclusion? Maybe even the people around you may not be sure."

"Haha, then we are really brothers and sisters. There are always so many people staring at us."

The servants waiting beside them did not dare to breathe when they heard these words from the two masters, for fear of being treated as a traitor.

"But are Wuya Country's fireworks better? Why have I never seen such colorful ones?"

The man in black shook his head, "I don't know, the ones I sent before are no different from before. I tried burning a few, and it's the same as before."

For ordinary people, the fireworks are very strange, but for the two of them, they are tired of seeing them and there is nothing interesting to see.

The scholar was dissatisfied and said: "No way? Could it be that the good ones were given away, and all the old stuff that had been piled up were given to us in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

No wonder he was dissatisfied, because the Northern Wei Dynasty was in a cold environment all year round, so supplies were poor and had to be purchased from other countries.

Therefore, we often encounter situations where we are cheated by other countries.

Selling at a high price, raising the price from the ground up, forcing some additional items that cannot be sold, etc., often happen.

Therefore, it is not unusual at all for him to suspect that Wu Yaguo deliberately sold old goods to the Northern Wei Dynasty and sold new ones to other countries.

However, although the Northern Wei Dynasty was cold all year round, it was not without its characteristics.

The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty were tall and strong, and most of the animals had long hair that could withstand the cold.

Every autumn, they would take furs from their own country and go to several other countries to sell them and then buy food.

After the autumn harvest, there is more grain, and grain prices are relatively more stable. If you are lucky, you can buy old grain at a cheaper price.

After autumn comes winter, so their furs are extremely popular among wealthy families.

"Probably not. Wuya Country does not participate in disputes and treats the six countries equally."

"Haha, in a few days, there will probably be only six countries left on this continent. I heard that Xi Shu is about to die."

The man in black nodded, "Well, at most it will be spring. After South Vietnam recovers, they will directly attack Xishu."

"Xuan, we can't fall behind and suffer a loss. Since everyone wants a share of the pie, we have to grab a few cities.

With the city of Xishu, we will be able to grow food in Xishu and transport it back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. "

People in the Northern Wei Dynasty had already thought about this idea.

It's just that I don't like provoking wars, but if I want to take advantage of the chaos to divide the benefits, it's not impossible.

That's why they rushed back at this time, just to get home before spring.

He couldn't even imagine how happy the Northern Wei Dynasty would be after being able to grow their own food!
  Wei Fengxuan is not that impressive. Every country is growing food, but the farmers at the bottom have never had enough to eat.

The output of an acre of land is just there, and their income is limited.

Even a few cities may not be able to grow enough food to feed the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty for a whole year.

The Northern Wei Dynasty had a full eight months of cold winter a year, two months that were not too cold, and two months that were a little hot.

Moreover, it gets dark earlier than other countries, and the morning starts later than other countries. It can be said that we live in oppressive darkness all year round.

There is no such thing as wild vegetables at all, and they are in constant famine.

Even though their people are naturally tall, strong, and know how to tame wild beasts, they still dare not attack other countries.

Because they did not have enough food and grass, good horses, armor, weapons and other things.

No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot take the sword with his bare hands.

Therefore, the Northern Wei Dynasty basically strengthened itself behind closed doors and did not cause trouble and was not afraid of trouble.

  Looking at the fireworks in the distance, the man dressed as a scholar had a distant look in his eyes, "Xuan, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, right?"

"Ah."

"I'm so envious. Other prisoners are thinking about celebrating the New Year and setting off fireworks, but we are camping in this barren mountain." Wei Fengxuan was silent, only closing his eyes, leaning against the tree pole to rest his mind.

"Xuan, tell me, is there someone who got the news and is waiting for you to throw yourself into a trap?"

"No, he set off fireworks. If it was really an ambush, he shouldn't have alerted the enemy, but he might be surrendering."

Shangguan Chen looked at his friend speechlessly, "You are obviously an abandoned son who was exiled. Who would surrender?"

There are still forces that are qualified to get Wuya Kingdom's new fireworks, but you must know that all they bought in the Northern Wei Dynasty are second-hand goods.

"What are you thinking about so much? You'll know when you go over and take a look!"

???

"Are you crazy? We know there is a tiger ahead, shouldn't we take a detour?"

Wei Fengxuan shook his head, "No detour, no time to waste, it's a human or a ghost, just go and take a look."

"No, brothers know that you are highly skilled in martial arts, so they are not afraid. However, we only have a dozen brothers with us. If we are really in danger, we may not be able to cope with it."

"enough."

Shangguan Chen: "..."

Well, since he has a high status, he has no rights and cannot stop his actions.

I could only frown, sigh, and stare at someone who was resting with his eyes closed all night with a full face of resentment.

As a weak scholar, he did not agree with the rash advance. Although it would waste some time, he believed that taking a detour and returning to the Northern Wei Dynasty safely was the top priority.

However, their master is unwilling to listen to him!

At dawn, it was time for them to "hit the road".

The city was currently celebrating the New Year's Day, and had not yet noticed that a group of strange visitors were about to arrive in the distance.

The central square was particularly lively today because of an event.

Qin Huaiyi took a loudspeaker and shouted: "To celebrate the New Year, our city lord's mansion has made some small games for everyone to play.

Those who are interested can queue up to play, and there will be rewards for the first place in the end! "

"What reward?"

"What game is it? Can my old lady play it?"

"The game is in an open space in the city. Just go find it. All the rules of the game are marked."

After calling the loudspeaker, Qin Huaiyi ran away. He didn't have to work or take care of the children today. He was going to have some fun in the city with his wife, so he didn't want to waste any time.

Curious people can only find these games themselves.

Soon, they found a place and found that their city lord was queuing up to play!
  No one dared to line up, but they dared to peek nearby to see how the game was played and what the rewards were.

"Daughter, what's written on it?"

“Dad, it says that the blind man touches the elephant, that is, if you cover your eyes with a cloth and touch the nose of the person in the painting, you will get a reward.

However, adults are not allowed to participate, and every child who participates is given a cloth towel that can be used as a headband. "

No wonder Aunt Fang, who was sitting nearby and supervising, had a box of colorful cloth strips beside her.

"Daddy, I want a hair tie, I'm going to line up!!"

"Don't……"

The man wanted to hold her back so that she could not displease the Lord of the City, but he failed.

Other children who didn't dare to go up boldly went up when they saw someone queuing up. .
