Keda is dead, and now the entire army is led by that deputy general.

When he saw the junction, he said coldly: "Catch all the people of the Yuan Dynasty.

I want to see, do they want lives or the city?"

When his subordinates heard this, they hurriedly took their soldiers to look for people, but unexpectedly, after a while, they all ran out in a hurry.

"Deputy General, there are no civilians."

When the deputy commander heard this, he was incredulous and asked, "What did you say?"

"There are no people from the Yuan Dynasty at the junction."

Upon hearing this, the deputy general frowned and asked, "How did you get the news about the border town before?"

When the soldier heard this, he said, "They came to the junction to inquire, but there are only two of us, so they shouldn't be able to guess it."

When the deputy general heard this, he glanced at the soldiers coldly and said, "Just because you are stupid doesn't mean others are stupid too."

After that, he took a deep breath and said, “Write a letter back to the king and tell him that General Keda has been killed.

Also, let's go back to Mulian City first and collect some supplies there."

In the current situation, he could only retreat and wait for the king to send someone to take over.

So the barbarians retreated back to Mulian City.

Xiao Lengyue and the others were still cleaning up the battlefield.

This time, she brought Chuntao and Jiuyou with her, and with the help of the military doctors in the barracks, the injured soldiers received good treatment.

Leng Haoxuan is in charge of logistics. If there is anything needed, just tell him and it will be solved.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the happy smiles on the soldiers' faces, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

She just opened the map and looked at the route the barbarians took to escape, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Seeing that the soldiers could not finish cleaning up in a short time, she went back first.

When they returned to the military camp, they asked Chunxiang to bring the three-dimensional terrain map made by Wang Lu.

She put down the topographic map and looked at Muliancheng, which was closest to the border town, with the corners of her mouth curled up.

At this moment, Leng Huaiyi's voice asking for a meeting came from outside the tent.

"Come in."

After hearing this, Leng Huaiyi walked in and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, all the people have been brought back."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she asked curiously, "How many people are there?"

"Forty-seven."

"so much?"

When Xiao Lengyue heard that there were so many people, she frowned. After she reacted, she looked at Leng Huaiyi and asked, "Uncle, do you know what they are trading with the barbarians?"

Under normal circumstances, the Yuan Dynasty should not have needed to exchange things with barbarians, so why were there so many people going out of the city to trade?

Leng Huaiyi pondered for a while after hearing this, and then said, "I just talked to them and they said they were going there to exchange goods.

But they refused to say more specifics. "

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she looked at Leng Huaiyi and said, "Uncle, please bring me someone who knows more about the barbarians."

When Leng Huaiyi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but still nodded, turned around and walked out.

When he came in again, he brought an old man with him.

When Old Xu heard that the emperor wanted to see him, he was so frightened that he froze.

At this moment, she was following behind Leng Huaiyi, her body still trembling.

After he saw Leng Huaiyi bow to Xiao Lengyue, he quickly knelt down and said, "I greet the emperor. Long live the emperor."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying this, Mr. Xu stood up tremblingly.

Seeing how nervous he was, Xiao Lengyue said softly, "Old man, don't be afraid. I just want to ask you something."

When Mr. Xu heard this, he quickly said, "Yes."

Seeing that he had been keeping his head down, Xiao Lengyue did not delay any further and asked directly: "Old man, what do you usually exchange for when you trade with the barbarians?"

Old Xu didn't expect Xiao Lengyue to ask this question.

He was stunned for a while, and when he reacted, he didn't know whether he should say it.

Xiao Lengyue saw that Mr. Xu was hesitant, so he said directly: "Don't worry, just tell the truth."

When Old Xu heard this, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, when we go to exchange with the barbarians, we usually exchange medicinal materials."

Xiao Lengyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, "Change the herbs?"

Old Xu nodded and said, "The medicinal herbs in the border town are too expensive. We can't afford them."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she turned to look at Leng Huaizhong, and saw that Leng Huaizhong was also looking at Old Xu in surprise.

Seeing that he didn't know either, Xiao Lengyue had a bad feeling in her heart.

Leng Huaiyi looked at Old Xu, "Old Xu, as far as I know, the price of medicinal materials in Border Town is not very high, right?"

When Old Xu heard this, he nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The price the general mentioned is the price for ordinary people."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lengyue frowned and asked, "Could it be that the pharmacy also changes the price of medicine at will based on the identity of the person?"

When she saw that Mr. Xu stopped talking, she frowned.

"How much does the clinic normally charge?"

When Old Xu heard this, he bowed and said, "It costs one tael of silver for ordinary people to see a doctor, but it costs two taels of silver for us."

Leng Huaiyi frowned when he heard this, "Mr. Xu, I've been hearing you say that people like you, can you tell me who you are?"

When Mr. Xu heard this, he took a deep breath and said, "We are people from the slums."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Lengyue was stunned, and what followed was the memory of the time in the slums.

Leng Huaiyi didn't expect it to be like this. He frowned and said in a cold voice: "I know that people are prejudiced against people in the slums, but I didn't expect that a clinic that saves lives would be like this."

Xiao Lengyue didn't stay in the slums for a long time, and she was not feeling well during those days, so she didn't go anywhere, so she didn't know much.

She was very weak at the time and was in a daze, with no memory at all.

Hearing Leng Huaiyi's words, he turned to look at Old Xu, "Is it only the clinic that is like this?

Or is it the same in other shops?"

"Most other shops are like this, but there are also some shops with better hearts."

When Old Xu said this, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, we did not exchange the grain of the Yuan Dynasty with the barbarians.

We exchanged them with wild vegetables or seeds.”

Seeing his anxious look, Xiao Lengyue said, "I know, and I didn't say that I can't exchange with them."

After Xiao Lengyue knew what she wanted to know, she let Old Xu go.

After everyone left, he looked at Leng Huaiyi and said, “Uncle, I’ll leave this matter to you.

If the prefect knows about this but does nothing, he should be detained or dismissed. There is no need to wait for me to come back to deal with it."

Leng Huaiyi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
