Chapter 47: Resource snatching

Li Liehuo has been teaching Li Hao how to use Fire Cloud Palm for a long time recently. Li Hao is indeed a genius in martial arts. In just a few days, he has basically mastered the essence of Fire Cloud Palm. As for the others,

It takes time to hone. In addition, Li Liehuo is still helping Manniu improve his dark body refining fighting skill Black Sand Steel Body. Li Liehuo now has countless fighting skills and thousands of secret techniques in his mind.

Although 99% of these Li Liehuo are too weak to practice, it is still possible to use them to help Man Niu improve his techniques.

"Li Huo, we have a mission recently." One morning, Li Hao suddenly said to Li Liehuo.

"Mission? Isn't our mission to snatch the identity tags of the other family's children?" Li Liehuo asked with some confusion.

"Seize the identity card? That's just one of our tasks. Liehuo, do you know what this border fortress is used for?" Li Hao looked at Li Liehuo solemnly and asked.

"Needless to say, of course it is used to resist the enemy's attack." Li Liehuo replied without thinking.

But what surprised Li Liehuo was that Li Hao only said one word: "Wrong!"

Li Hao's answer shocked Li Liehuo. He really couldn't think of any other purpose for this huge fortress besides defending against enemy attacks.

"Senior Brother Li Hao, tell me, if this fortress is not used for defense, then what is it used for?" Li Liehuo asked in confusion.

"Defense? Defense for what? Is there anyone still fighting for this barren land in the desert? In fact, the real purpose of this fortress is to snatch resources." Li Hao replied firmly.

"Seize resources? Seize what resources? We have neither minerals nor fertile land in the Burning Desert. What resources can we seize?" Li Liehuo asked in confusion.

"Li Huo, tell me, what is the most precious thing in our burning desert?" Li Hao looked at Li Liehuo carefully and asked.

"Of course it's water!" Li Liehuo replied without thinking. Although Li Liehuo had never felt the lack of water in the city lord's mansion, what Li Liehuo heard the most from ordinary people was this.

The question of whether there is enough water in the month.

Hearing Li Liehuo's answer, Li Hao nodded, shook his head and said, "You are right, but not entirely right."

"Brother Li Hao, please give me some clarification." Li Liehuo's interest was aroused and he asked quickly.

"Water is indeed the most precious thing in the Burning Desert. However, there are two most precious things in the Burning Desert. You only got half of the answer right." Li Hao pointed out two fingers and then withdrew one.

said.

"Two things? Besides water, what is the most precious?" Li Liehuo asked doubtfully. He really couldn't think of anything in the Burning Desert that could be as valuable as water.

"Of course it is the "Road to Prosperity"! In the Burning Desert, the most precious things are water and the "Road to Prosperity"! If there is no water, then we cannot survive. If there is no road to prosperity, then our Cangyan Empire

The twelve major cities will become as barren as the wilderness, and even towns will be difficult to form." Li Hao smiled and looked at Li Liehuo and said.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it? The "Road to Prosperity" is the absolute income of almost all cities. Without the Road to Prosperity, these towns would never be able to operate." Li Liehuo looked like he suddenly realized it, but then something happened again

New doubt: "But, what does this have to do with our fortress? This fortress doesn't seem to have become a foothold for merchants, right?"

Hearing Li Liehuo's words, Li Hao looked at Li Liehuo with an expression like "Why don't you even know this? Liehuo, don't you know that our border fortress is located on the north bank of the Rhine River? Almost all the water used in Xianyang City is

It is transported from the Rhine River. If it is a year when the Rhine River has sufficient water, of course there is no need to compete for water sources, but if there is a year when the Rhine River water is low, this fortress will come in handy. In this fortress, enough Xianyang can be stored.

The city needs six months' worth of water, and all the more than 10,000 people in the town can participate in water transportation, which is very important for water supplies."

"So that's it. Then what's the "Road to Prosperity" you mentioned? What does this fortress have to do with the "Road to Prosperity"?" Li Liehuo continued to act as a novice.

"The relationship between this is very important. You must know that there is more than one road from here to Yandu on the "Prosperity Road" to our Xianyang City, and this border fortress is the gate to our Xianyang City. You said, in

Among the many forked roads, should they choose to pay a fee and take the "prosperous road" with fortresses, or should they choose to take other roads with nothing?" Li Hao asked with a smile.

"Of course, choose the one with a fortress. Those merchants don't care about the two tolls. The road with the fortress is definitely much safer. At least, if you encounter desert bandits or monsters near the fortress, you can still ask for help from the fortress' army.

"Li Liehuo said matter-of-factly.

After hearing Li Liehuo's words, Li Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Now, you finally know the function of this fortress, right?"

Indeed, the function of this fortress is exactly what Li Hao said, and what Li Liehuo said before about the fortress being used to resist attacks by the hostile main city families is completely redundant.

The sphere of influence of each main city has remained unstable for thousands of years. If a battle breaks out between two families on the border for land, then the main city behind these two families will definitely not remain silent. Therefore, the main city does not

Given instructions, neither the Li family nor the Zhao family would dare to seize the other's land.

"Senior Brother Li Hao, you said we are going to go out to perform a mission today. What kind of mission is it? Is it related to the two most precious things in the burning desert?" Li Liehuo asked with some anticipation.

"Haha, you guessed it right. The water level of the Rhine River is relatively shallow today, so we have to dig canals in advance to divert the river water to the fortress for storage. But the two families opposite may not be happy to see our Li family occupying so much.

water source, so Commander Soros asked us to accompany the two flag captains for a walk, he and the remaining two flag captains have other things to do." Li Hao said to Li Liehuo.

"Huh? You said two families, are there two families across the street? Which other family besides the Zhao family?" Li Liehuo asked in confusion.

"Not only the opposite side, we also have two families. It's just that Xiangyang City, which is in alliance with us, did not send any family members this year. As for the opposite side, they are the Zhao family and the Zhang family. You have already seen the Zhao family. Even the members of their family

The first person was captured by your kid, so I believe it won’t cause any trouble. But the Zhang family is more difficult. The Zhang family is a middle-class family with four cities. In almost every trial of their children in the past, they will have

Bronze-level family members will participate, and sometimes two or three bronze-level children will be sent out. It is precisely because of this that in past family trials, our two major families often eliminated more people and passed the test.

There are few people." When Li Hao said this, a militant light flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to meet the masters of the Zhao family.

"My dear, the families in the four cities are really awesome. Brother Li Hao, you are right, we should strike first, otherwise, we will wait until the Zhang family, a big stomach king with four mouths,

Come on, you have to drink all our water." Li Liehuo said nervously.

"Haha, I think so too. Let's go. The two flag captains are already waiting for us outside. You can prepare yourself. I will call the children of our family and gather at the gate of the fortress later." Li Hao

After giving instructions to Li Liehuo, he walked out.

"Manniu, let's go, let's start work." Li Liehuo didn't need to prepare at all. He only needed to take Manniu, the thug, and Wulu, the little guy. Originally, Li Liehuo planned to take Ling'er out to relax.

, but when I thought that I might have to fight with the other party today, it would not be good if the blood flew out and stained Ling'er's clothes.

"Grandma, we finally had a fight. I've been very busy these days." As soon as Man Niu heard Li Liehuo's call, he rushed out carrying his giant axe.

"Old Niu, I see you've had a lot of fun teaching the boys in my family every day these days, and why are you so worried? You have to go step by step on this road. If you take too big a step, be careful.

Egg." Li Liehuo said with a smile.

"Hehe..." Hearing what Li Liehuo said, Manniu touched the back of his head in embarrassment. In the past few days, he had continued to teach a group of Li family children to make them complain in the name of teaching and discussion, and achieved the goal of producing two pandas per day.

Li Liehuo and Li Hao both turned a blind eye to this with a high production value of several digits. These children of the Li family had been too smooth in the family before, so they should be given some hardships.

As soon as Li Liehuo and Man Niu arrived at the gate of the fortress, they heard a capable female voice: "Well, everyone is here now, let's get ready to go."

The speaker was none other than Wen Tingfang, the leader of the First Flag Regiment. At this time, Wen Tingfang was riding on a white horse, wearing black leather armor and still wearing a black veil, but under the black leather armor was a seductive and criminal sex appeal.

Her figure is still so hot.

"Hehe, I can't believe it. I can't believe that the two flag captains Li Hao mentioned are actually Wen Tingfang and Russell. Forget about Russell, I just think he is doing it. But Wen Tingfang is a beauty. No, I still

How can you say she is a beauty if you haven't seen her true face in Lushan? But to be honest, this girl's figure is absolutely incredible. She is concave in the places that should be concave and convex in the places that should be convex. Oh, she is really overbearing.

The leather armor is almost bursting from him! No, I have to find a chance to see her true face. I hope you won’t disappoint me..." Li Liehuo followed the army at the back, his eyes motionless.

Falling on top of Wen Tingfang's two pairs of round figures, one behind the other, the myriad of thoughts in his mind had already flown to nowhere. However, the three-foot happy silk thread left at the corner of Li Liehuo's mouth showed that this guy definitely didn't have anything good in mind.

I'm definitely thinking about very impure things.
