Chapter 300 Prices are getting more expensive



Wu Ma Chaofu glanced at the female official with gap teeth.

"Woke up suddenly?"

“Heh~”

"How is that possible? Without my permission, he will never wake up in his lifetime."

Really, a mere imperial lady dares to doubt his ability.

He's just a crazy beggar, how could he not be able to control it?

Not only could he control it, he did it with ease.

In the past, he had to control normal people, which was quite difficult.

"Okay, okay!" Seeing Wu Ma Chaofu speak so confidently, the female official with gaping teeth felt a little relieved.

"Then...if someone hits him, will he react?"

The female official with a gap in her teeth looked at the crazy beggar, her eyes flashing slightly.

She hasn't yet taken revenge on the crazy beggar for knocking out her teeth, so here comes the chance.

The toothless female official stared at the crazy beggar's mouth and couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Wu Ma Chaofu looked at the eager look of the female official with gap teeth and glared at her fiercely.

"Don't act recklessly. If you wake someone up and delay His Majesty's important affairs, you will go back and apologize."

If the crazy beggar was angered and woke up, how would he feed him the sleeping pills?

The crazy beggar's fighting ability is obvious to all. Even though he has secret guards protecting him, he dare not take the risk.

Xiao Yunhao sneered in his heart as he listened to the words of the female official with gap teeth.

If you have the will but not the courage, just try it if you can. He will just go crazy and kill them all.

Xiao Yunhao's ears moved slightly, and he chuckled in his heart as he listened to the dozens of archers lying in ambush around him.

The empress was really thoughtful. On the surface, she gave Wu Ma Chaofu three secret guards and a female official with a gap-tooth.

He still secretly sent so many archers to guard against him.

It seems that Wu Ma Chaofu holds a very important position in Xiliang Kingdom, which is very good.

The female official with the gap-toothed face smiled awkwardly, "Don't be angry, Master Wu Ma, I'm just asking, just asking..."

"Okay, let's hurry up."

Wu Ma Chaofu rode on his horse and looked towards the direction of Xinyue City.

It takes more than 20 days to ride a horse, which is really painful.

He had only been running for three or four days, but he was already feeling exhausted.

The key point is that there is drought everywhere, and we are really thirsty.

Wu Ma Chaofu touched the water bag in his arms and pursed his lips sadly.

Forget it, let’s drink it next time.

He turned his head to look at the crazy beggar who was riding beside him, looking at his soft and shiny lips, his eyes full of questions.

He only gave the crazy beggar a sip of water every day, but why was the crazy beggar's lips not dry at all?

After all, you are young and have plenty of body fluids, so you can withstand thirst.

Wu Ma turned his head enviously towards Fu, sighed, raised his whip, and shouted hoarsely, "Gee!"

Xiao Yunhao was like a puppet, with no expression on his face.

He clamped his legs around the horse's belly and quickly caught up with Wu Ma Chaofu.

He also wanted to whip the horse.

However, the female official with the gap in the tooth scolded Wu Ma Chaofu and told him how dangerous it would be if he used a whip.

After thinking it over again and again, Wu Ma Chaofu instructed him to rein in his horse when he heard the word "gig".

With such force, he squeezed lightly and the horse leaped out with a roar.

When it was getting dark, Wu Ma Chaofu led his group to the post station, dismounted and found a room to rest.

"Quick, bring me a basin of water, and some good wine and meat."

Wu Ma Chaofu showed his badge, then took out a 10-liang silver ingot and shoved it into the hands of the official manager of the post station.

He was so tired after running all the way that he had to eat, drink and have a good sleep.

The official looked at the silver ingot in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

"Sir, there's a drought in the city. It hasn't rained for a long time. I'm afraid we can't get that much water. Just the wine itself costs five taels of silver for a small cup..."

If he had this ten taels of silver before the drought, he could not only get the adults a large bucket of hot water for a bath, but also prepare a table full of good wine and delicious food.

And he still has a lot left in his hands, now...

Wu Ma Chaofu was stunned for a moment, pursed his cracked lips, and took out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket.

"Go get it now."

Money really doesn't last long.

Maybe it was because there was a light drizzle in the imperial city not long ago, so the prices were not so outrageous.

But the closer you get to Crescent City, the more severe the drought becomes, and food and water become incredibly expensive.

One ingot of silver is barely enough to have a meal in a city.

We have been traveling for a whole day, and the prices have increased tenfold. It is hard to imagine what the situation is like in Crescent City.

Along the way, I saw countless people dying of starvation and thirst on the roadside. It was simply unbearable to watch.

Hell on earth is probably just like this.

The official took the banknotes and silver, took two of his men, and ran out of the post station quickly.

These things have to be bought in big restaurants in the city, as ordinary small restaurants have closed down long ago.

Wu Ma trembled towards Fu Lei's thigh and directed the crazy beggar to walk towards the second-floor residence together.

"Follow my orders, go into this room and sit on the bed."

Wu Ma Chaofu took the peace locket tiredly and knocked it on the crazy beggar's forehead.

In order to make it easier to control him, he would always arrange for the crazy beggar to live in the room next to his.
