Chapter 596 Small Town(1/2)
"Maybe, the local government does not have much army!"
Li Xuan said thoughtfully.
"No big army?"
Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others were both stunned.
"The land is vast and sparsely populated, so naturally there are not too big cities. There are only 10,000 or 20,000 people in a city. How big can such a small number of people have?"
Li Xuan chuckled.
"Yes, I have been walking for two days, but I found two small villages. The population here is really sparse!"
Li Chongyi also remembered something and felt a little moved.
"See the king!"
At this time, a team of scouts ran from the front.
"King, you have discovered a small town twenty miles ahead!"
"Small town?"
After hearing this, everyone looked happy.
“How many people are there?”
Li Xuan asked.
"By the king, according to the villain's estimate, there are only 10,000 people at most!" the scout reported.
"Everyone rested on the spot for a quarter of an hour and then went into the city!"
Li Xuandao.
"yes!"
Everyone rested on the spot, with anticipation on their faces.
After one hour.
Li Xuan and others entered the small town without any obstacles.
It is said to be a small town, but in the eyes of Li Xuan and others, it is just as big as a large village.
A circle of stone walls were densely packed inside, all of which were small houses made of wood.
The streets are also very dirty.
As Li Xuan and others came in, the atmosphere in the entire small town suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Li Xuan and others with alert faces.
At the same time, some people were running out quietly.
What surprised Cheng Chusi and others the most was that as they came in for so long, no army came to stop them.
But in the dark, someone was holding a round shield, a long sword and a spear.
Unfortunately, they are all hiding from a distance.
Li Xuan and others directly ignored this.
"King, there is a corn shop here!"
"King, we'll find a sweet potato and potato shop..."
Soon, the guards had already figured out the shops in the entire town.
"Walk!"
Li Xuan brought a group of soldiers to a shop selling sweet potatoes and potatoes.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes in this shop are not as many as Li Xuan expected, each of which is up to 500 kilograms.
The shopkeeper with yellow beard on this shop was already standing next to the window of the house with vigilance after Li Xuan and others came in.
Now, there are signs of jumping out of the window and running away.
However, the soldier covered in iron armor outside the room, with bearded and bearded shopkeeper dared not move any randomly.
"Get two bottles of salt!"
Li Xuan smiled slightly and took two bottles of salt from the guard behind him.
Then, put it in front of the shopkeeper.
And the shopkeeper suddenly stared at the two bright small glass bottles.
Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
Sure enough, these people have a special love for transparent glass bottles.
Unfortunately, what Li Xuan wanted to sell was not the glass bottle, but the fine salt inside.
He called the shopkeeper over, slowly unscrew the glass bottle in front of the shopkeeper, tasted it myself first, and then signaled to the bearded shopkeeper, letting him taste it too.
Suddenly, the bearded shopkeeper's eyes widened and his face was full of surprise.
He had never seen this kind of salt in the main city.
Then, he looked at Li Xuan with anticipation.
Li Xuan pointed to the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the shop, and then pointed to two bottles of fine salt.
The meaning is self-evident.
But what Li Xuan didn't expect was that this bearded man shook his head all over his face.
At the same time, he stretched out four fingers and wanted to ask Li Xuan how many bottles of fine salt they needed.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Li Xuan reached out and took two bottles of fine salt, and then walked out.
Although sweet potatoes and potatoes were very precious in the Tang Dynasty, here, Li Xuan believed that these objects were as common as rice in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, just those two small glass bottles can be exchanged for several times the food for sweet potatoes and potatoes here.
Now, he felt a little loss when he exchanged two bottles for these, and this bearded barbarian actually wanted to ask for more!
However, before Li Xuan could take two steps, the bearded shopkeeper quickly ran to Li Xuan, with a flattering face and hurriedly gestured.
Depending on the meaning, I agree!
On the side, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others looked disdainful when they saw this.
Li Xuan snorted coldly and handed the two bottles of salt in his hand to the bearded shopkeeper.
Then, he ordered a group of soldiers to come in to fill sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Then, walk to the next shop.
Behind him, the bearded shopkeeper also closed the door of the shop and followed Li Xuan quietly.
Corn shop.
Li Xuan spent a small bottle of fine salt and more than a thousand kilograms of corn.
Then, I spent a small bottle of fine salt and bought 500 kilograms of stir-fried red peppers.
Finally, Li Xuan also discovered a surprise.
pumpkin!
Li Xuan spent another bottle of fine salt to buy the pumpkin from the shop.
Finally, after walking around the city and not finding anything good, he began to take everyone out of the city and prepare to return to the ship as usual.
"King, I'm afraid there will be no peace tonight!"
After setting up camp, Xue Rengui came to Li Xuan with a solemn expression.
"That's why I chose to camp here!"
Li Xuan chuckled, "There are only two roads here, and it is the best time for them to attack!"
"Master, are you trying to lure them in on purpose?"
Xue Rengui looked surprised.
"What, are you scared?" Li Xuan asked.
"Please rest assured that even if everyone in that small town comes to attack, the general will not be afraid at all!"
Xue Rengui said hurriedly.
"Everyone took a good rest and occupied the favorable terrain. These barbarians are different from my Tang Dynasty, and no one knows when they will attack.
Therefore, at least half of the people need to watch tonight, set up traps and set up more!”
As he said that, Li Xuan looked ruthless.
"I never like to take the initiative to slaughter barbarians, but if someone wants to kill me, then for my safety, I can only kill all those barbarians!"
"Yes, king!"
