Chapter 40 Wangyuan City
After entering the city, Li Qing immediately asked Qi Kang to change his clothes, trying his best to make it difficult for people to tell that he was a refugee.
Before the curfew, the two of them booked two good guest rooms in an inn in the city. Perhaps because of the war, the two guest rooms did not cost much money.
Having brought back a lot of gold and silver from the Extreme Night World, Li Qing can now be said to be a real rich man. This money is enough to support his martial arts training for a long time.
If one day there is not enough money, Li Qing can continue to go back to the polar night world to search. Anyway, in that world where food is extremely scarce, things like gold, silver and treasures are already very worthless. .
Early the next morning, Li Qing asked Qi Kang to go out to inquire about some news in the city.
As for himself, he took the money and came to a medicine hall in the city.
"Shopkeeper, do you have these medicinal materials here?" As he said that, Li Qing handed over a piece of paper with some brewing materials for two wine recipes written on it.
The shopkeeper of the medicine hall took the note from Li Qing without raising his head. When he glanced at it, he was stunned, and then he slowly raised his head to look at Li Qing. .
"Hey, sir, you are really making things difficult for me. My Hundred Medicine Hall has been open in Wangyuan City for so many years, and I only have a few of the medicinal materials you want." The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly. .
Li Qing had no intention of collecting all the medicinal materials at once. He said without surprise: "Then bring some of the ones you have in the drugstore. I want them all."
Nope After a while, the shopkeeper of the medicine hall quickly brought over the few medicinal materials in his shop.
"Sir, the Polygonatum japonica I have is a good product from the 1950s, so the price will be a little more expensive, do you think?"
As he said that, the shopkeeper showed it and took it for himself Huang Jing came over.
This piece of Polygonatum is a bit dry and looks like ginger, but there are many roots on the surface.
Snap!
Li Qing directly slapped a gold leaf on the table, and then said in a deep voice: "Wrap them up for me quickly."
"Okay!" Seeing this A shiny gold leaf made the shopkeeper's eyes light up and he agreed.
While he was packing the goods quickly, Li Qing asked smoothly: "Shopkeeper, do you know where I can usually buy the medicinal materials I want?"
Worker The shopkeeper said without thinking: "Fengzhou, Quanshan City, is full of deep mountains and old forests. More than half of the herbal medicines in the entire Feng Kingdom are dug out from there."
"Except for Quanshan City, it is Shengtian, the imperial capital of our Maple Kingdom. Being the best place is not just talk."
Quanshan City, Shengtian, the imperial capital.
Li Qing silently remembered these two places in his mind. To collect the materials for two wine recipes, a trip to these two places was inevitable.
Fengzhou Quanshan City is very far away from Wangyuan City. It is in the southwest of Feng Kingdom. If you go there, you have to go through at least several states, which takes a long time.
On the other hand, the imperial capital Shengtian is far away from Wangyuan City, but after all, it is located in the center of the hinterland of Maple Kingdom. It will always be closer if we go there.
Ever since, Li Qing set his next stop at Shengtian.
In just a few moments, the medicine hall manager carefully wrapped the medicinal materials Li Qing asked for in brown paper.
When he handed it to Li Qing, he did not forget to remind: "Sir, although I don't know what you want these medicinal materials for, I have to remind you that the name of the medicinal materials you just gave me is , there are two kinds of poisonous things, it’s better to be careful.”
Of course, the two kinds of highly poisonous things are used in the Five Poisons and Blood-activating Wine. He said calmly: “I know it well. I don’t have to worry about the shopkeeper anymore.”
After saying this, Li Qing left the gold leaves on the table and left with the medicinal materials. After repeating this process, Li Qing visited all the remaining medicinal shops in the city.
But it is a pity that the supply of these medicinal materials shops seems to come from the same place, which overlaps with the types of medicinal materials that Baiyao Hall can provide.
After visiting several stores in succession, he only collected one more old root of camphor tree, but nothing about other medicinal materials.
Seeing that the herbal medicines at the border were so poor, Li Qing had already made up his mind to go to the imperial capital Shengtian as soon as possible.
Back at the inn, Qi Kang has returned from inquiring about the news.
Qi Kang, who had taken a shower and changed his clothes, now no longer looked like a refugee. On the contrary, his face was very refreshing. Apart from his sallow complexion and slimming down, there were basically no flaws.
Qi Kang said to Li Qing honestly: "Master, I just went to several taverns to inquire about it. The current defenders in the city are Wu Lijun. They just fought with the people of Liang State the day before yesterday. There was a battle, and because of the harassment of horse thieves, there was no winner or loser in this battle."
Hearing the words Wu Lijun, Li Qing showed no emotion either in his heart or on his expression, and did not reveal a trace of anger. Strange color.
He had expected this.
Before he shuttled to the Extreme Night World to escape the war, he knew that the Wu Li Army rushed to the border fortress to support him. Now that he was fighting against the Liang Kingdom's army, he was not surprised at all.
Li Qing nodded and motioned for Qi Kang to continue.
"In addition, the people in the city can leave freely through the west gate. During this period, the people in the city have not evacuated very much. The number is about the same as in the past. There are even caravans coming from time to time! Everyone has full confidence in Wu Lijun. "
When he said this, Qi Kang looked at Li Qing's face carefully, as if he wanted to see something on his face.
However, Li Qing still looked very calm, not much surprised.
After all, Wu Lijun is one of Fengguo’s sea-suppressing magic needles. Most of them are martial arts practitioners, and people at the level of centurions and thousand-centurions have developed both external and internal strength. Master.
If this kind of fighting power cannot even defend Wangyuan City, then Feng Kingdom can declare defeat in advance.
"Well, as long as you can leave the city, let's have a good rest today and leave Wangyuan City tomorrow." Li Qing said.
As soon as these words came out, Qi Kang opened his mouth wide, and he said: "Master, you don't need to collect other information about Wangyuan City? Isn't it difficult to communicate with each other?"
Li Qing was stunned, and he said: "Who are you dealing with? I came to Wangyuan City just to make some supplies, and then I took the opportunity to leave and go to the imperial capital to spend the rest of my life."
"Huh?" Qi Kang was dumbfounded. He said embarrassedly: "I thought you were a spy sent by Liang Guo."
When he said the next sentence, Qi Kang lowered his voice very low for fear of being heard.
Hearing this, Li Qing immediately burst into laughter and tears.
“Why did I make you think I was a spy?”
“Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to sneak into Wangyuan City secretly, and today you asked me to go out and inquire about the news in the city? ." Qi Kang, who knew that he had made a mistake, was embarrassed to continue talking.
For a moment, Li Qing burst into laughter.
"Okay, don't think too much, buy two horses in the city tomorrow, and then leave. There is not much need to stay in Wangyuan City."
