My attribute of fast time travel is upside down

Chapter 187 The King of the Mountain's Cheap Lady (47)

The shopkeeper answered truthfully, his eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly realized, "Miss, what do you mean, their people have already come to Laishan area?"

So fast!This realization made the shopkeeper's heart sink.

Qi Xue shook her head with a sullen face, "No, it should be only a part of the advance troops. The large number has not arrived yet. Otherwise, it is impossible for you to be unaware of this posture."

She analyzed, and then asked: "Do you know what that team is doing in town?"

"I heard that traveling merchants from various countries come here to buy goods." Although the Laishan area is remote, there are many unique items that are favored by other towns, and it is a place where traveling merchants often come.Also because of this identity, he didn't have too much doubt about the accent.

Thinking about it now, he was careless.

The shopkeeper immediately reported what he saw and heard, "They took a lot of food with them when they left."

Speaking of this, a thought quickly popped into his mind, and his eyes widened suddenly, "They are hoarding food!"

"Why do people on this plane like to buy food in bulk in the name of traveling merchants?" Shun Zi was, and so were the people from the Northern Cold Country.Xiao Liu curled his lips speechlessly, "Traveler said he was very innocent."

"Maybe it's because this profession can make their behavior look very legitimate." No, the shopkeeper had no doubts before.

Qi Xue replied casually, continued to focus on the shopkeeper, and said: "The other party is already approaching, it takes time for the news to come and go, we can't just sit and wait for death."

"According to Missy?"

Qi Xue lowered her eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then said calmly: "As soon as possible, send a message to the hidden stakes in the nearby area, so that they should always pay attention to unfamiliar faces and their behaviors. It is best to find a foothold."

"Once you find out, report to my father immediately."

"Also, let the hidden piles everywhere notify the grain stores in their respective villages and towns that belong to the Hai family, and transport most of the grain in the store to the secret granary for storage, leaving only the amount of grain in the store for the daily purchase of the local people in January."

"For the outside world, with a unified caliber, they all say that there is a shortage of food in the store."

"From now on, no grain of rice is allowed to be sold to unfamiliar faces, especially those with foreign accents!"

"At the same time, secretly buy food from other granaries, as much as they can receive, and secretly transport them to different secret granaries in batches."

"Afterwards, all storekeepers who knew the location of the granary temporarily returned to Lai City, and the store was temporarily managed by a trusted employee."

In order to avoid complications, the location of the secret granary is only known to her, City Lord Hai, who is in power, and a very small number of shopkeepers of the grain store, and all of them are the confidantes of City Lord Hai.

The shopkeeper looked at her, and boldly guessed, "Miss did this because she was afraid that the other party would jump over the wall in a hurry when the food road was cut off?"

Qi Xue nodded, "Although Laishan is located at the junction of the four countries, it is far away from the capitals of the four countries. For long-distance combat, food and grass are particularly important. The rear supply takes time. Once food and grass are in short supply, the first thing they think of is the surrounding towns and villages. Grain shop."

Therefore, in addition to exploring the road, these advance troops are also actively purchasing food.Looking at the posture, this time, the outside forces are determined to fight for a long time, and they will never return if they don't break Lai City.

At this time, she ordered people to stockpile grain, and there were quite a few grain stores in Haijia. Although it could not be said to be a monopoly, they could afford to stop supplying all of them.She forcibly cut off some of their sources of food and grass, and drove them into a hurry, so it was hard to guarantee that they would act aggressively.

"They are all a group of unreasonable robbers. It is not surprising to burn, kill and loot."

"Since we want to run out of food, we must cut it off completely."

"Miss is thoughtful, and my subordinates admire it." Although this sentence may be suspected of flattering, it is more of admiration from the heart.In the face of a catastrophe, the eldest lady can still deal with changes without panic, command the overall situation without chaos, and the city lord will have successors.

"This subordinate will order people to follow the orders of the eldest lady." The city lord had already ordered, and more than half of the secret posts are now under the control of the eldest lady, all in the Laishan area.They obeyed the eldest lady's words unconditionally.

After all, the shopkeeper made a gesture to get up and call the two young men to come in, but Qi Xue raised her hand to stop her, "Don't be busy, time is limited, you can do it after I have explained everything together."

"Yes." The shopkeeper sat back in his seat obediently.

"I have something to do right now. It's not convenient to show up recently, and it's hard to contact me. When you send the news back, please report to my father that I'm safe. Pay attention to the outside world. If you find trouble, report it to your father immediately. If it's an emergency , you can figure it out."

"Just one thing, we must not let outside forces threaten Laicheng. Do you understand?" Qi Xue was full of aura, as if she was a superior person.

The shopkeeper repeatedly responded, "Yes, this subordinate understands, don't worry, miss."

After explaining the business, Qi Xue did not forget to warn: "You should also pay attention to your own safety. When you saw that the situation was not right, you closed the door early and returned to the city. Your life is at stake."

The most important thing is, don't get caught and come back to harm Lai City.Of course, this cannot be said openly, otherwise it will affect the loyalty of his subordinates.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper was grateful after hearing her words, and trembled with excitement, "Thank you for your concern, Miss, my subordinates know."

Qi Xue nodded, "That's it, I'll go first."

Time was running out, and she didn't have time to plan carefully, so she could only think of so much at the moment.

The shopkeeper immediately got up and saw her off, and guided her to the back door, "Miss, this way please."

Qi Xue followed him, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered Shunzi and the others, and her leaving footsteps stopped instantly.She turned around and looked at the shopkeeper, and said, "By the way, there is one more thing."

The shopkeeper immediately said respectfully: "Miss orders."

"Recently, in addition to outside forces, there is also a small group of people who are raising food and grass. They are my people. If they go to the grain store at home to purchase, they will supply as much as possible."

"According to their needs, first collect from various grain stores, and adjust from the granary if there is not enough. Remember, be careful when adjusting the grain, and don't expose the location."

"If the situation is serious, forget it if you can't make it up. Everything will be done according to our ability."

"Dare to ask Miss, what does your person look like? What are the characteristics or tokens for identification? The subordinates are afraid of being confused with outside forces." The shopkeeper has been working as a secret whistle for many years, and he is very vigilant and rigorous in his work.

Qi Xue was very pleased with his reaction, and said: "The people in this team all speak with the accent of the Laishan area, and their costumes also look like those around Laishan, so it is not easy to confuse them with the outsiders."

"The leader is tall and thin"

Qi Xue recalled Shunzi's appearance, and carefully described it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper had a complete picture in his mind, "Don't worry, young lady, I have remembered it. I will immediately send someone to notify the people in charge of each hidden stake to gather together. While conveying your order, I will tell everyone about your characteristics in detail." Son."

"Then it will be hard for the shopkeeper." Qi Xue thanked politely, and left under the respectful escort of the shopkeeper.

Maybe there was something on her mind, and she was always thinking about the time and going back, so that she couldn't concentrate, or maybe she was very good at tracking people, and Qi Xue didn't notice anyone following her until she left.And the discussions that she and the shopkeeper thought were confidential in the courtyard, including the note, were spied on from beginning to end.
