Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Just after it got dark, Luo Chen came to Biyue's room and said, "I'll accompany you to West City to store grain." He showed her the token in his hand.

The two men used their Qinggong skills and soon arrived at the granary of the military camp in the west. The soldiers at the door saw Luo Chen, and he showed them the token. The two men entered the granary and filled up the empty granaries. They then went to three empty warehouses and filled them with food and other supplies, and then arrived at a more secluded place.

Bi Yue said to him, "I will go to Black Mountain City in a while and collect all their weapons, guns, arrows, and food. The army can attack the city tomorrow morning. They have nothing. I will go in and collect the things. Anyway, I don't kill people."

"Yue'er, come back in the evening, I'll wait for you."

"Okay, I'll try to get back before midnight."

After saying that, Bi Yue took out a flying carpet from her treasure bag, then stood on it, turned on the protective shield and flew away. When Luo Chen saw this omnipotent girl, he also felt a strong sense of powerlessness deep in his heart. He could not help her in anything. Only when he became strong could he become her support.

Bi Yue stood in the air and flew towards the target. After an incense stick of time, she could see the Black Mountain City in the distance. This city was the same as Shangyou City. The outside of the city was also very magnificent. The city towers were brightly lit, and teams of people were patrolling on them.

Bi Yue stood on the flying carpet and slowly approached the city wall. She flew into the city, took a walk inside, and found that the city was quite big.

It is divided into four parts: east, west, south and north. The east part is the most luxurious and belongs to the rich area. Most of the rich people live here. The south part is the commercial area with many shops.

The north of the city is where ordinary people live, and the west of the city is where the troops are stationed. All the soldiers and troops are here in the west city. Now it is just the time of Xu, which is a little after 19 p.m.

There were few people on the streets because during the war everyone closed their doors early and did not dare to wander around outside at night.

Now that I have a general understanding of the distribution layout of Heisan City, it will be much easier for me to take action later. It is now past seven o'clock and some shops in the south of the city are just beginning to close.

Bi Yue came to a secluded place. After landing, she put away the flying carpet, turned off the protective shield, and went to a shop in the south of the city, pretending to buy something and asking about the situation.

Walking into a grocery store, a boss in his forties and a young man in his twenties were packing up and preparing to close the store. Seeing a very beautiful girl coming in so late, the waiter asked enthusiastically, "Miss, why are you here so late to buy things? What do you need?"

"I'll just take a look and buy if I see something I like." The young man went back to sorting out the goods.

Biyue saw that there were quite a lot of things in the grocery store, including brown sugar, white sugar, salt, many dried vegetables and mushrooms, soy sauce, and a small amount of wine. The young man kept peeking at her.

So I asked him about the prices of some common goods, and found out that they were not cheap at all. Salt cost 100 wen per pound, white sugar cost 60 wen per pound, and brown sugar cost 50 wen per pound. If one dollar is equal to one penny now according to the calculation method of the previous life, then salt cost 100 yuan per pound. It was really expensive!

I can’t afford it, I really can’t afford it! He smiled and said to the young man, “Thank you for helping me solve my doubts today. Actually, I’m not afraid to tell you that I’m also in the same business, so I came to you to ask about the price and I’m leaving!”

After saying that, she walked out of the grocery store. The young man looked at the beautiful girl, didn't buy anything, asked a lot of questions and then left, shaking his head helplessly.

Bi Yue went to a clothing store not far ahead and walked in. Two young men in their teens saw a beautiful girl coming in to buy clothes and came over to ask in a flattering manner, "Miss, we have many styles of clothes in our store. Which one do you like? I'll introduce it to you."

"Thank you, little brother. You can introduce me to someone."

The two walked one after the other to look at clothes. The young man introduced them enthusiastically. Bi Yue asked him, "I see you two are packing up. Are you going to close the store?"

"Yes, miss. During the war, we have to close at the beginning of the evening at the latest. There will be a curfew later. If you go home too late, your family will be worried."

"You are so enthusiastic in introducing it to me. How much does this bright red cape cost?"

"This cloak is made of fine material, and the fur collar is made of mink, so it is quite expensive, five taels of silver."

"Please pack it up, thank you!" Biyue took out five taels of silver and handed it to the waiter.

He walked out of the store and put the clothes into his treasure bag. He quickly walked into an empty dark alley, put on his invisibility cloak, took the flying carpet out of his treasure bag, turned on the protective shield, and flew up to a small hill behind him.

After seeing that all the shops in the commercial city in the south city were closed, he took out the jade flute, stood on the flying carpet and flew to the military camp in the west, then stood above the camp and played the jade flute.

After blowing for a quarter of an hour, the flying carpet slowly descended into the military camp and saw that all the soldiers were unconscious. They first went to the armory and collected all the weapons, swords, spears, arrows and armor.

He collected all the military supplies and found all the horses lying on the ground in the horse farm behind the military camp. These horses were all war horses, each of them was well fed, shiny and beautiful, and the horses were also stunned by the sound of the jade flute and fell to the ground.

Bi Yue knew that war horses were very expensive. A good war horse would cost at least more than 100 taels of silver. The red horse that her family bought was injured and it still cost dozens of taels of silver. It can be seen how precious war horses are.

Take it back to Han Shaoqing's army, then unceremoniously collect all the horses and take away all the things in the barracks.

Just after going to the wealthy area of ​​East City and playing the jade flute for a cup of tea, Bi Yue asked the system, "Are all the wealthy people in East City from Jingguo? Are there any people from our Dachang country among them?"

"Most of them are from Jingguo. In the past, when the two countries traded, there were very few merchants from Dachang who came here to do business." Oh, that's right, but I won't take advantage of the situation to rob. I just need to take away the ironware from the rich to prevent Hongsha City from forging a large number of weapons in the next few days."

Then he went to the South City Commercial District, took out the jade flute, and blew it for an incense stick of time before he began to collect the ironware in the commercial district. He did not touch anything else. Doing business was not easy. He wrote down the things he took away on a piece of paper and put silver on it. After he finished collecting the things, he rested for a while in an empty house.

The people in North City are all ordinary people. No matter what era, ordinary people are always the group living at the bottom of society, so I will not harm them.

Let the system scan again above West City to see if there are any supplies missing from the military camp.

The system said, "You have almost collected all of them."

"Then let's go back!"

He took out a bottle of yogurt from the locker, drank it, then took out the flying carpet, stood on it, turned on the protective shield and flew to Shangyou City.
