After walking for half a day, a tall city appeared in everyone's sight.
Xuantu Prefecture was established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after he destroyed the Wei family. When it was first established, there were a total of eleven counties, and it was the largest of the four counties of the Han Dynasty.
However, more than 200 years had passed and Xuantu County was slowly swallowed by the non-humankind. Now, there were only four small counties left.
However, the county administration was preserved. As a border county, the city walls were taller than other county cities.
The county city was obviously much livelier than Gao Xian's. No matter how much the surrounding foreign tribes harassed them, they didn't dare to have any designs on the county city.
Unless they wanted to start a full-scale war with the Han Dynasty.
Thus, the county city was relatively safe. Those with some money all lived in the county city.
Compared to this place, Gao Xian was simply a small mountain village.
"My lord, there is a market in front of us. There will be food for sale there.”
Tian Heng led everyone through a few streets and arrived at a market.
Although Xu Rong was from Xuantu, he lived in the countryside and his understanding of the county city was not as good as Tian Heng's.
Xiao Rang guessed that Tian Heng was also from Xuantu City.
"My lord, please take a look around. I'll go find the grain merchant.”After Tian Heng led Xiao Rang to the market, he disappeared into the crowd.
Looking at his disappearing back, Xu Rong raised his eyebrows, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes." My lord, this person is so mysterious. He won't play any tricks, right?"”
Xiao Rang smiled.
"Don't worry, I trust him. I hope that you can cooperate well in the future and not have any gaps.”
Although he could not see Tian Heng's loyalty, after the system's strengthening, Tian Heng should be loyal to him and would not betray him under any circumstances.
"Yes, my lord." Xu Rong admired Xiao Rang's courage and breadth of mind.
He trusted a newly recruited mountain bandit so much.
If it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.
Xiao Rang and Xu Rong waited for a while before Tian Heng ran back excitedly.
"My lord, after that grain merchant heard of your deeds, he was willing to help us with three thousand dan of grain for free!”
Xiao Rang looked at Tian Heng in bewilderment.
How could such a good thing happen to him?
One had to know that 3,000 dans of grain was not a small amount. In such a border city where food was scarce, it could be sold for five times the price of the Central Plains!
Xiao Rang knew that Tian Heng was lying.
However, Xiao Rang did not dismantle him because he knew that Tian Heng was definitely doing it out of goodwill.
"Is there such a good thing? Can you introduce me to this generous person?”
Xiao Rang didn't want to find out the story behind Tian Heng. Since Tian Heng didn't say anything, he could definitely handle it himself.
However, Xiao Rang was more interested in someone who could take out 3,000 dans of grain in one go.
However, Tian Heng shook his head." He doesn't want to show himself. He said that he will send the food to Gaoxian City in three days.”
Xiao Rang did not insist.
A stone was 120 jin, so 3,000 stones of grain was 360,000 jin. To Xiao Rang, this was more than enough.
The entire county only needed 2000 catties of grain, and Xiao Rang could use the rest as military supplies.
After saving a large sum of money, Xiao Rang bought 5000 catties of refined iron and some living supplies.
In the future, he would need to recruit soldiers and horses. He would need a lot of iron to forge weapons, as well as living supplies for the soldiers.
After staying in Xuantu City for two days, Xiao Rang wasn't stingy and bought everything he needed. Out of the 330,000 baht, only 30,000 was left. Only then did he manage to load up ten large carts and prepare to return to the city early in the morning.
However, he was stopped by someone at the city gate.
"I am Gongsun Du. May I invite Lord Xiao for a drink?”
The person who stopped him smiled and introduced himself.
Gongsun Du?
Xiao Rang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to be recognized by someone. Moreover, it was the future Lord of Liaodong, Gongsun Du.
Thinking about it, he should be a minor official in Xuantu County.
However, he had the same name as the son of Xuantu County Governor Zao Yao when he was young. They were both called Gongsun Bao. Therefore, Gongsun He was the godson of Xuantu County Governor.
Thus, his authority in Xuantu County was very great.
"Why is he looking for me?" Xiao Rang thought to himself as he looked at the city gate behind Gongsun Du.
The guards there seemed to be twice as many as usual!
They came with ill intentions!
Xiao Rang narrowed his eyes and gestured to Xu Rong behind him.
From the fact that no one recognized him these two days, it could be seen that he wasn't very famous in Xuantu County.
However, Gongsun Du had never been to Gao Xian, but he could recognize Xiao Rang. This meant that he was observing Gao Xian in secret, or he had eyes in the four Xuantu counties.
Those who understood history knew that Gongsun Du was an ambitious person. It was not strange for him to have such a plan.
Therefore, his intention to stop Xiao Rang was very obvious.
Recruit!
An ambitious person naturally desired talents. Perhaps he and Xu Rong knew each other in this way.
"I don't know why Lord Gongsun is looking for me, but I'm in a hurry, so I'll talk here.”Xiao Rang said indifferently, not giving him any face at all.
Since he knew the reason for his visit, Xiao Rang had no need to save face.
He was just an adopted son. Even if the county governor came personally, Xiao Rang still wouldn't give him face.
When Gaoxian County was in its most difficult time, you didn't care.
Now that he had made a name for himself, he was envious?
Sorry, Gao Xian no longer belongs to Xuantu Prefecture.
I, Xiao Rang, said it!
