Those two people were spies sent by Xiling. There was no food and grass in the frontier fortress. If Emperor Dongling had not sent people to deliver food to the frontier fortress, they would have robbed it in advance. If they could not rob it, they would destroy it.
That road is the only way to the frontier fortress from all over Dongling. If there is any movement then, they can know in advance and inform the King of Xiling to make preparations!
The shopkeeper weighed the scraps of silver lying around and couldn't help but smile.
Probably after attacking the frontier fortress from Xiling, someone came to him and asked him to inquire about suspicious people going to the frontier fortress.
Every time he inquired, those people would give him some scraps of silver. Those things were easy, so he agreed.
He didn't know if those people wanted to do something, or if they wanted to find someone, but he just wanted money. He didn't care about other things, and he didn't bother to know.
A full three sticks of incense time has passed.
Su Tong was a little impatient at that time, and then asked Zhao Po, "It's been so long, can they go to the border fortress?"
"Well, let everyone prepare something, and they will follow quickly." Zhao Po nodded at this time and said immediately.
After hearing this, Su Tong smiled and said, "Okay!"
With that said, Su Tong walked to the side and said to the people who were resting, "Everyone, please get up quickly, they are starting to leave."
Then they also entered the border situation.
Pedestrians came and went in a hurry on the road to the border fortress. Some people walked with their families and bags on their backs to the outside of the border fortress.
Presumably if Dongling had defeated Xiling before, Xiling would have taken advantage of the victory to pursue it. The people living in the frontier fortress were afraid that Xiling would really attack the frontier fortress. Then they would have no way to go, or else they would leave their hometowns. At least they could save their lives.
Not long after entering the frontier fortress, Su Tong pulled the reins of an east horse and rushed to Zhao Po, "Brother Zhao, is there no water in their water bags?"
"Not much more, what's wrong?" Zhao Po glanced at Su Tong and said immediately.
At that time, Su Tong pointed to the tea stall in front and said, "I see there is a tea stall in front of me. Everyone has walked for such a long time. They came from the east to drink a bowl of hot tea and fill the water bags given to them. Full of water.”
"We'll reach the military camp soon. Then we'll all..." Before Zhao Po could finish his words, the tea stall owner saw a group of people approaching.
He quickly stopped in front and said, "Well, Wei Yuanzi, seeing that we have been traveling for a long time, let's stop and have a cup of tea to rest. The tea stall over there is very popular, and you can get a big bowl of tea for a penny."
"One penny for a bowl of tea? Brother Zhao, please rest here." Su Tong couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this. Earlier in the imperial city, could I ask for three cents for a bowl of tea? Then Su Tong looked at Zhao Po Said again.
The shopkeeper nodded, "If you like, you can add more."
"Brother Zhao?" Su Tong then looked at Zhao Po.
Zhao Po hesitated slightly, but Bu Nao nodded after a moment.
Seeing that Zhao Po agreed, Su Tong jumped east and called to the people driving the carriage behind him to stop the carriage by the roadside. Then he ran over and said to Zhao Po with a smile, "Brother Zhao, come east."
Then Zhao Pona got off his horse and followed Su Tong to the table aside.
The shopkeeper hurried over, took the rag from his shoulder, wiped it on the table, and then said with a smile, "Er Wei Yuanzi, wait a moment, the water will boil right now."
"Hey, fill that up for them. How much money can I ask for?" Su Tong handed the water bag to the shopkeeper at that time.
The shopkeeper bent down and took the water bag, and then said with a smile, "Young Master and his party are many people, so just charge us a penny for the bag of water."
"The store owner is indeed a kind-hearted person, so thank you." Su Tong looked at the store owner and praised him.
The shop owner nodded to Su Tong, then smiled and waved his legs and said, "Wei Yuanzi is so polite. He set up a tea stall to let passers-by rest."
"That's not true. There is a war in the frontier right now. I don't know when Xiling got sick again. Lu Zai saw many people leaving the frontier." Su Tong nodded at that time and said.
The shopkeeper took advantage of the situation and asked Dong Qu, "Young Master doesn't look like a businessman. Now the people in the frontier have gone to other places. Where can we go, Young Master?"
"They are not businessmen." After hearing this, Zhao Po looked at the store and said.
The shopkeeper nodded at that time, and then said with a smile, "What a coincidence, a group of businessmen passed by not long ago, and they came to the frontier to deliver goods. I wonder what we are selling, sir?"
"What they sell is not cheap..." Su Tong blurted out after hearing this.
