"What about firearms? We need to find a way to send the firearms we make to the Night Qin Legion stationed outside Flame City! Also, send some food! Highly polluted food is still food, and it won't kill anyone. Just let them eat low-pollution rice once a week!"
Soldiers are more resilient, and besides, the city of burials doesn't have much food.
They rescued Earl Ye Qin and his thousand soldiers, along with other members of the Ye Qin Legion who were ordered to guard the outer perimeter of Flame City and Misty City.
That idiot Duke of Flame, he caused trouble himself and all he knows is to drag outside help into his escape.
Absolutely outrageous!
A short while later, someone came over carrying over 200 kilograms of low-pollution grain.
"Lord Kaka, Qi Zhuo sent us rice with less than 10% pollution. Do you think we need to send this rice to the legion this time?"
"Send it! Send a hundred jin over there!" Kaka gritted his teeth. There were still more than a hundred jin to protect the underground city, but he also wanted to protect all the soldiers outside.
"Back then, it was because of Earl Ye Qin's protection that we goblins were able to survive and have a glimmer of hope. Now that Earl Ye Qin is in trouble, it would be against the code of the goblins not to protect him!"
"Also, has Earl Ye Qin's youngest daughter been found?"
this.....
"Don't tell Earl Ye Qin's family about this, or they'll be heartbroken!"
Being seriously injured himself and having his child in trouble, it would inevitably be a blow to the Earl if word got out.
"By the way, tell Qi Zhuo not to just focus on assembling the machines with you, but also to go to Alice's for a check-up regularly. His brain has already suffered brain damage due to overuse. If we don't take care of it, the problem will only get worse in the future. He may develop dementia and memory loss when he gets old, which is no small matter!"
“I understand, Lord Kaka. Our underwater tunnel is currently impassable. Lord Kaka means he wants to research underground tunnels.”
Whether it's an underwater tunnel or an underground tunnel, the purpose is to allow people buried in the burial ground to leave. If they go out on the surface, they will always be detected by detectors, but it is much safer underground.
Unable to get out of the ground, they built an underground tunnel for themselves to escape.
If the tunnel is successfully completed, they will no longer be restricted to trading in the Burial Grounds and will be able to leave! The current Burial Grounds are in such a state because they cannot leave, so prices have been driven down to rock bottom. These people are taking advantage of the fact that they are the only ones coming to the Burial Grounds, while others cannot afford the train fare or the shipping fee, so they have a monopoly. They drive down the price of a mechanical item to the point where it is only worth the labor cost, and they still have to work hard to make it, while the goods they sell are expensive, almost making them unable to breathe!

On the train, Qin Yiyi stared blankly at the map. The information she received from both Barbara and Lilith indicated that Earl Ye Qin was last seen in the Misty City near Flame City, and that Earl Ye Qin's legion was stationed in the surrounding area. The last information she received was half a year ago, but she had not seen him.
Multiple pieces of information filtered through her mind before she finally fell into a deep sleep.
Another full day passed without stopping at any station. When I woke up again, the train had already taken to the sky. Upon closer inspection, I realized that it hadn't actually taken to the sky, but rather there was an aerial tunnel.
"We are about to arrive at the final destination of this train, the Eternal City. Passengers, please prepare to disembark!"
At this moment, two-thirds of the people on the train have left. The remaining third of those going to the Eternal City are all dressed smartly, or at least not wearing patched clothes.
Before leaving, the little bee even slipped in a freshly baked, still-warm honey cake.
"The head tax for entering the Eternal City has reached one gold coin per person. All four pillar cities of the empire have such a high head tax, also known as an entry ticket, to filter out people without assets. This is standard practice."
"Actually, the entrance fee of one gold coin isn't expensive, but after I started racing, I found that many people couldn't afford one gold coin. They even hesitated for a long time about the price of the cheapest seatless carriage, which started at ten copper coins!"
She spoke with a hint of nonchalance and indifference; she was born in a sky city, and how could someone who lived in the clouds possibly see the struggles beneath the mud?
The starting fare was ten copper coins, meaning it would cost more for each additional stop. One hundred copper coins equaled one silver coin, and even if you were to travel to a distant place in a standing-room carriage, it would still cost more than one silver coin.
A silver coin might be useless to a little bee, but to those people, it could accomplish a great deal.
"If you have time, you can come and visit my territory." Qin Yiyi didn't say much or offer any self-righteous advice. She simply extended an invitation to the little princess of Sky City, asking her to visit her territory when she had time, to see what ordinary life was like, and what the everyday world was like. She also offered to take her to Chaotic City to see what the ghostly fires were like.
She had followed the train through so many places, it was a pity she couldn't get off and see the world. Upon hearing Qin Yiyi's invitation, she immediately nodded.
"Really? Thank you, Sister Yiyi! I'll come visit you in your territory after spring!"
Are we friends now?
The little bee stared longingly at Qin Yiyi.
She followed the sports car partly to exercise, and partly because her family was worried about her going out alone, so they arranged for her to stay here. Her identity was special, and she had never had any friends before. When she followed the car to hide her identity, she was bullied. When she revealed her identity, no one dared to discuss it. Only Qin Yiyi treated her as if they were old friends, no matter what her identity was.
