When Su Cha received Xiao Tianyao’s reply, he was no surprise at all. He knew things would be like this. That’s why he has been pestering Lin Chujiu for the past few days. Only after that he finally able to squeeze her knowledge in Luban lock.

Lin Chujiu. who has been harassed by Su Cha these days, said everything. But Su Cha didn’t believe her. He kept pestering her to say more and more… …

However, she was not cotton soaked in water, that can squeeze out the water if he wanted!

Lin Chujiu had said a thousand times that she studied medicine with enthusiasm, but only used Luban lock as toys. How would she understand the principle behind it?

Lin Chujiu, who was frightened by Su Cha, had no choice but pretend to be sick just to avoid him!

Lin Chujiu originally only wanted to pretend sick for a couple of days. It would be nice if Su Cha will give up after this. However, she hasn’t had a chance to announce her sickness, big news came from the front line, Xiao Tianyao came out! The 200,000 troops that vanished in the forest several months ago came out safely!

Since Xiao Tianyao disappeared in the dense forest, his life and death were unknown, but he found the missing army several days after that. When the people in the capital heard the news, they were all shocked.

“Xiao Wangye walked out of the dense forest and found the army that had been missing for several months. How could this be possible? Could this be fake news?” The people in the capital, who’s heart was hanging, suddenly became noisy… …

Several days ago, when they heard that Xiao Wangye disappeared, the people in the capital got panicked. Every day, they wait for the news in the front line, only to be disappointed.

They got scared. They got scared of Xiao Wangye’s disappearance. They don’t believe that the front line will be able to hold the battle. Once the Northern Army invade the nearest provinces and loot the foods. The price of food will drastically increase or they will have no food to eat.

“New rumors came out every day, is this news true or not?” People, who were lining up to buy food, accidentally heard this news, and then looked at the price of foods that had increased with 5 copper coins than yesterday. They hesitated and then leave.

If Xiao Wangye was alright, the price of food will inevitably fall. They don’t want to buy it!

“I don’t know. Didn’t they say that Xiao Wangye died the other day? I just saw the official news they posts, but I’m not sure if it’s true or false. The court doesn’t say anything.” People were very disturbed with the price hike.

What’s going on?

However, in a blink of an eye, the price of food rose by two copper coins again.

“Is this news false? These big businessmen are well-informed, they will not get it wrong.” The man who just stepped out of the line regretted it.

Crazy, the price of foods had increased by two copper coins, it’s not wise to buy it. However, if they failed to win the war, the price of food will increase much more than this.

“Brown rice, I want 50 pounds of it.”

“Rice, I want to 200 pounds, give me 200 pounds!”

The grain store was full of people who wanted to buy grain of rice. The shopkeeper proudly said: “Hurry up, buy now before it’s gone. Our rice will be sold out soon.”

“I, I… have silver, here’s my silver coins.”

“I’m in front, you give me first, weigh it for me.”
