"The dried locusts and locust powder you want have already agreed with the Chang'an caravans that they will transport them to the next transaction. The thing has become a disaster. It basically costs money, but it is mainly a freight." Uncle Blacksmith continued.

"Okay. By the way, what about the other merchants?" Shi Lei asked with concern.

"Is there something wrong? Why did the hunter uncle come to pick them up?" Shi Lei was a little worried.

Although many merchants are unable to come back when doing business, and there are still those who stay in the shops there, the number of people coming back is definitely more than those now, and there is still food. Could it be that the famine has spread to Shuzhong?

"Nothing happened. They didn't transport food. They would naturally leave much slower by pulling so much food. We transported red goods and were just rushing to come back first to report to you.

The old hunter rushed over because there was a team from Chang'an that had joined us and they all came to this side. There were two important figures inside. The old hunter had to ensure their safety and also show our attitude." When the blacksmith said this, his expression was a little confused, or he didn't know what attitude to use to face this matter.

"I just received the news and haven't had time to tell you. The two youngest guys in the family above ran to Shuzhong." The butler stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky. This means that it must be Li Er. Needless to say, the two people came, the prince and the princess.

"How could we meet with our team? Are we going to Yazhou?" Shi Lei asked strangely.

The person who comes here is very important, no wonder he needs a master like Uncle Hunter to answer.

After all, when they arrive in this territory, their safety must be guaranteed. If anything goes wrong, no one will think of having a good life with Li Er's extremely protective temperament. Shi Lei can only pray that they did not come to their own home.

"It is said that they came to Shuzhong with the newly-appointed King of Shu, but they came to Yizhou for a few days.

It seems that I heard that Sun Simiao is right here, and these two little guys are coming to invite Old Man Sun and go back to see their parents.

It’s rare that the little guy is not old, but he knows how to be filial, which is really good.” The butler said with a smile.

"Well, although I don't have any good feelings for all the old macaques, Old Man Sun is a rare exception. My legs were saved by him back then.

If he really can come, I can invite him to drink." Uncle Blacksmith patted his injured leg. But it seemed that he and the Taoist priests must have had some celebrations, and they were not etiquette in their mouths.

"I'm afraid you will disappoint you. Old Man Sun is now treating the mountain people and his men around us. The name of the old god has been spread. I have confirmed this matter, and he must be the one who can't be wrong.

So these two little guys will definitely come to our house. Don’t forget that the head of the hometown used to be the escort commander, and it is a matter of their duty to come to pay tribute to us. We must be at our place.

Besides, they were also on a contempt trip. There was no army to accompany us. We must be much safer than Yazhou, which leaked everywhere." The butler saw Shi Lei's concerns and simply let Shi Lei face the reality.

"Then we have to start preparing to arrange the defense now. I don't know how much trouble it will be if we follow them.

Didn’t the King of Shu come? If he comes, he can mobilize more troops." Shi Lei said helplessly.

"The King of Shu is too big, so he must not move in Yizhou. His responsibilities are not moving. If he comes, we will be in chaos. I wonder how many people will jump out and fight to the death.

However, among the mountain people, there are many people who don’t deal with the old Li family. It’s hard to say what the situation is then. It’s better to just come to two little guys in a low-key manner, so we can handle it.

The ones responsible for defending them were all old brothers in the Xuanjia Army in the past, and it was easier to cooperate with both sides.

I will send someone to send a letter to the military leaders of several military formations around me and make them ready." The butler has always thought about it carefully.

"Okay, uncle, please make arrangements. By the way, let's arrange for people to catch more turtle doves. To live, it's best not to hurt the one. I'm useful.

Our messaging is still too slow, I want to try out if there is a better way."

This incident reminded Shi Lei that it was time to develop a convenient communication system.

The first choice is natural carrier pigeons. Compared with human resources, even if the people stop running, they will definitely be much faster.

And it is relatively safer, because the turtledove is too common and will not attract others' attention. In addition, a suitable password file and arranging a few to pass it together can ensure that the information can be delivered quickly and accurately.

Of course, Shi Lei has also considered another system. In order to ensure the safety of these little messengers, it may be a good idea to subdue some Rock Eagles to train as Xun Eagles.

At least in terms of close communication, Xunying must come faster than a carrier pigeon.

And they are the overlords of the air, so there is no need to worry about safety. After all, there are only a few Sagittarius players, so it is not reliable to expect to shoot them down.

After the discussion, Shi Lei and the two uncles started their own work. Before the caravan came back, some things must be arranged first.

If you don’t want to be seen by outsiders, you should put away any of them, such as the numerous weapons at home, and the ant nest that holds Shi Lei’s hopes.

Before Shi Lei started working, the caravan guards who had just returned came to Shi Lei one after another and thanked him solemnly.

Fortunately, they came in scattered ways, and Shi Lei could hold them back and prevent them from kneeling down.

You should know that now you are not kneeling down at any time, and you are also called slaves and masters, which are a bit insulting to Shi Lei.

In this world, you usually don’t have to kneel down when you meet the emperor unless there are large-scale activities such as sacrificial activities. If you see Li Er privately and have a horse stool, it is normal.

Therefore, the behavior of the merchants kneeling down is definitely a manner of expressing their highest respect.

As the saying goes, men have gold under their knees, kneel down on the sky and kneel on their parents. Shi Lei also thinks it is a rather awkward thing to make people kneel down, so he stops them as much as possible. Just feel this gratitude, although in Shi Lei's opinion, it is not a particularly great favor.

"Hurry and find a suitable teacher to teach everyone." Shi Lei, who had been busy for half a day, met two uncles during dinner, and the first thing he said was this.

Shi Lei knew for the first time that it was a tiring thing to be thanked for by others.

These merchants came one by one as agreed. Shi Lei competed with these merchants who were honest and wanted to thank him for the rest of the afternoon, and was more tired than Shi Dunzi who had been playing in the martial arts training ground for half a day.
