"Go to Guan City?"
Jiang Yu suddenly took a sip of hot tea and said in surprise.
The Great Wall was a bitterly cold place, especially the Great Wall of the Northern Borderline. There were very few merchants and pedestrians coming and going. Only demon seeds could survive in such an extremely harsh environment.
For the garrison soldiers, even the necessities of salt, iron, and food were rare.
The salt that the border guards were eating now was some turbid yellow-black granules, which belonged to the mountain salt excavated from the icy cold mountains. This thing could not be eaten in large quantities, or even the strongest man would be poisoned to death.
On the contrary, over the years, the demon seeds had become the most important source of oil and salt for the garrison soldiers. They relied on the salt contained in the meat of the demon seeds to replenish themselves. However, this was not a long-term solution. Some young garrison soldiers still needed some essential oil and salt to survive here.
This included the damage to weapons and armor caused by resisting the demon seed all year round. They also needed to be replaced.
It was very difficult for the imperial court's rations to arrive on time. In the past, they would only arrive once every season, but now, they would arrive once every half a year. In fact, there were many times when they were not even enough.
If it were not for the fact that the Petal-Scaled Flower Legion led by Hua Mulan could become self-sufficient by hunting demon seeds in the northern border and support the war with war, the matter of food and pay alone would be enough to drag down the soldiers guarding the border.
"You want me to go to Guan City to trade? In exchange for the necessary supplies?"
Jiang Yu looked at Hua Mulan strangely. After all, he was also a Heavy Infantry Regiment Commander, but he was arranged to hunt with Shouyue as soon as he took up his post, and then he was arranged to make a deal... It was as if he was not doing his job properly.
"What else? The northern border has been relatively peaceful these few months. We have accumulated a lot of demon seed fur and some demon core materials in our warehouse. These can be sent to the customs market to be traded. You can decide the price yourself. Don't forget that the entire army is waiting for you to eat.”
She casually threw a stack of account books to Jiang Yu. The corners of Hua Mulan's beautiful lips curled up slightly, as if she was going to eat him up.
"Isn't trade prohibited in the city? Why?"
Jiang Yu was a little surprised. In the past month, he had also settled many matters in the Northern Borderline and the Yunzhong Desert. The Golden Court King and the Tang Empire seemed to be united, but in reality, they were at loggerheads. The trade in the city had been closed a few years ago.
"It was opened a month ago, so I told you to go over and sell it as soon as possible. These demon seed furs are worthless to me. I want to exchange them for food, steamed buns, and iron armor.”
"How about I give you a reward when you come back? However, he couldn't go as a guard of the Petal-Scaled Flower.”
Hua Mulan whispered into his ear.
Jiang Yu's neck was itchy from her teasing. Fortunately, there were only two people in the tent, but this woman was sometimes too indecent.
"Why?"
He asked in puzzlement.
"Those high-ranking people are not at ease with us. Besides…I need you to bring a letter to the Protector-General, Su Lie. This guy is really bold now to open the city on his own.”
Rubbing her aching temples, Hua Mulan sighed faintly.
She and Su Lie could be considered colleagues. Su Lie guarded the protectorate while she guarded the Great Wall of the Northern Borderline. The two of them looked at each other from afar and had jointly protected the stability of the border over the past few years.
It was just that this time, Su Lie had taken a little too much risk. Hua Mulan did not want to see the few loyal people end up in a miserable state.
"Uh, Su Lie?"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment. The figure of the burly man holding a huge pillar appeared in his mind. It was Su Lie, a famous general of a generation. Tsk, tsk, tsk. A very powerful existence. He must be very rich. Then... he could also consider the skin sales plan that he had not put on the agenda for a long time.
A few days ago, he had asked Baili Shouyue to sell his skin, but this guy was so poor that he couldn't afford it. Then, he was lucky…But after that challenge, he had entered the desperate mode and trained crazily every day, so Jiang Yu couldn't find a chance to sell it.
"You know him?" Hua Mulan said.
"No, I've heard of him. After all, he's also a famous general guarding the border.”
Jiang Yu smacked his lips. If he remembered correctly, Su Lie seemed to have been framed because he opened the city without permission. Then, he became a criminal and was banished to the border. He even seemed to have become a member of the Hua Mulan Army.
Fate was like chess, unpredictable.
"Go and come back quickly. If I don't hear from you in seven days, I'll personally go to Guanshi to pick you up. Don't let me worry. After all…I like you ~~~ Little Yuzi ~~"
Hua Mulan pretended to be seductive as she reached out her fair and slender fingertips to press against Jiang Yu's chin. Her lips that were filled with fragrance slowly approached, and a crafty look flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Jiang Yu's cheeks became hot.
"Pfft…Hahahaha…Little Yu, you're still a virgin!! What a treasure."
Unable to hold it in any longer, Hua Mulan burst into laughter.
Jiang Yu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. However, when he glanced at the information sheet of the top-tier gold-tier battle general above her head, he could only glare at her hatefully." I…I…I'm going."”
"Hahahaha ~~~ Hurry up and come back. I miss you.”
Looking at Jiang Yu's miserable back, Hua Mulan smiled coquettishly, her beautiful eyes flickering.
