Chapter 26: Brother, have a taste
Since the establishment of the Tianwu Dynasty more than 900 years ago, a total of ten vassal states have been born one after another, namely Qin, Gan, Jin, Yuan, Yun, Yan, Xia, Tang, Hu, and Chu.
Among them, Qin has the oldest history, almost the same as the Tianwu Dynasty, and has been working hard for generations to govern. By now, it has become the strongest among the top ten vassal states. It is famous and second only to the Tianwu Dynasty. Other countries are suppressed and cannot breathe. As for Xia, it can only be considered a middle-aged and low-ranking state. Because it borders Qin territory, it often trades and has good relations.
But ten years ago, Xia Hao, the monarch of Xia Kingdom, advanced to the realm of creation. After quelling the rebellion, he suddenly increased his confidence. He wanted to expand his territory and create some great powers. So he launched a war against the closest Qin State. The result was like igniting the fuse, which instantly aroused the fierce reaction of Qin State!
In just two months, the 100,000 troops sent by the State of Xia were completely defeated, with more than half of them being killed or injured. However, Qin had no intention of giving up. He chased and fought hard all the way, pushed and crushed, and directly occupied the territory of the State of Xia.
Although the Qin army did not have a large-scale assault for the past ten years, it has been gradually advancing and eroding the Xia Kingdom, and wars will break out between the two sides from time to time.
However, the Xia Kingdom was not arbitrarily kneaded like mud. In recent years, it has begun to win and recover some lost territory. After all, this place is the territory of the Xia Kingdom after all, and they are much more familiar with the Qin army, especially when the front line is getting longer and longer.
However, half a month ago, the Qin State suddenly led 200,000 troops, divided into three groups, cooperated with each other, and quickly defeated the Xia army on the front line, and captured more than a dozen cities in succession, entering the hinterland of the Xia State.
The Xia army, caught off guard, retreated step by step, and directly lost several important passes and even fell into a general in Hedan realm, in an extremely embarrassed manner.
The incident happened suddenly, and Xia Kingdom had no time to react. Seeing that the Qin army was unstoppable and was about to attack Anliang City, the court had no choice but to seek help from Xiaoyao Mountain.
It is worth mentioning that due to the Huiyan Mountain Forest, Yunzhou where Xu Shu was previously located was not affected by any war, because the Huiyan Mountain Forest blocked the Qin army like a natural barrier. Otherwise, according to Yunzhou's strength, it would have been wiped out long ago.
Of course, the current Qin army is not interested in Yunzhou. Compared with Hengzhou, which has rich spiritual energy and rich resources, Yunzhou is really not worth mentioning.
What's more, due to years of war, many parts of Yunzhou have gradually escaped from the control of the Xia court, which is not afraid at all. It is not too late to slowly resolve remote areas such as Yunzhou after Qin defeated the capital head-on.
In other words, whether Anliang City can be defended this time is very important. Once Anliang City falls, it is equivalent to knocking on the gate to King Xia. Therefore, Moqiu is sure that more powerful people will come to support one after another.
"Brother, I want to eat this! I want to eat this!"
The little pig's voice pulled Xu Shu back from his thoughts.
"Boss, two strings of candied haws."
"Okay."
After taking two strings of candied haws, Xu Shu handed them to Xiaotong with his backhand.
“So sweet and sour.”
The little pig's eyes lit up, and he said happily.
She had never eaten anything of this taste, and her brother didn't lie to her. There are many delicious foods in the outside world!
"Brother, I want to eat that, that, and that."
By the side of the street, the little pig sat on Xu Shu's shoulders holding a pile of food, his delicate and cute face full of smiles.
Fortunately, Xu Shu obtained a lot of money and spirit stones when killing Xia Chan and others, otherwise he would not be able to afford this little foodie.
In addition, in order to prevent Xiaotong's monster identity from causing unnecessary trouble again, Xu Shu gave her a skill to "hide". This is a skill that Xu Shu learned at level seven. It can be completely ignored by others and become an ordinary person, and even feels the breath.
In the game world, Xu Shu used this skill to hide wild monsters that were two levels higher than him and secretly approached him to kill them and successfully completed the task. I believe no one in Xia Kingdom could see through it.
"Brother, you have a taste."
The little pig put a bunch of candied haws next to Xu Shu's mouth.
Xu Shu hesitated for a few seconds and bite a candied haw. Well, the taste is really good.
Xu Shu had learned from Xiao Hu that Anliang City had eight gates, divided into six areas, and were all guarded by heavy troops, which was as solid as a decisive one.
They are currently located in the streets in the center of Anliang City, with towers and shops and high-rise mansions nearby. They are far more prosperous than the remote and prosperous place of Moyin City, and the architectural style is particularly beautiful. Even pedestrians wear brocade and jade robes, with extraordinary demeanor, and practitioners can be seen everywhere.
"Young master, come in and have fun."
At this time, a voice caught Xu Shu's attention. When he turned around and looked, three big words came into view.
Spring is full of the building?
I saw women with long and beautiful legs and thick makeup standing by the door of Chunman Tower, waving to Xu Shu with round fans, full of temptation.
Although Xu Shu is not handsome, his facial features are delicate and angular. Combined with his bronze skin and tall and straight, and his almost perfect figure, his charm is so many times higher than a young white face. Who wouldn't like a man with a sense of security?
"Young Master, there is a special event today."
"Young master, they're very cheap."
“…”
Several women of Fengchen kept glaring at Xu Shu and teasing him.
"Brother, they are so enthusiastic. Are they selling food?"
The little pig is curious.
“…”
"Ahem, no."
Xu Shu was covered in black and quickly took the little pig away.
Next, Xu Shu walked around for a few more times until it was getting late before returning to the city lord's mansion with Xiaotong.
It is said to be the city lord's mansion, but it is actually no different from the palace. It is not only decorated with gorgeous mountains and waters, but also extremely large, just like a small city in a city.
Xu Shu and others were arranged in the courtyard on the left side of the city lord's mansion, which belongs to the VIP area. After all, Moqiu is the elder of Xiaoyao Mountain and has a noble status. How dare Jia Tengying be negligent?
"Brother Xu, you are back."
Xiao Hu, who was sitting in the yard, saw Xu Shu and quickly got up to greet him.
"Um."
Xu Shu nodded slightly.
"By the way, I don't know where Brother Xu is from." Xiao Hu forced to find a topic to avoid embarrassment.
"Yunzhou."
Xu Shu replied casually.
“…”
"Haha, Yunzhou is good." Xiao Hu smiled.
“…”
In the evening, the city lord Jia Tengying delivered the spirit fruit as promised.
"Ph, ph, ph, it's not delicious."
The little pig bulged his mouth and said disappointedly.
She often picked spiritual fruits when she couldn't catch her prey in the Huiyan Mountain Forest. She had been tired of eating them, so she used the spiritual fruit to exchange for barbecue with Xu Shu. Unexpectedly, the delicious food in Moqiu's mouth was actually spiritual fruits. Xiaotong was very unhappy.
Moqiu was confused. These were all level 2 or level 3 spiritual fruits. I wonder how many monks couldn't even get them, but Xiaotong was even disgusted?
“…”
