Zhang Weiyu was confused when he heard Lü Shu call her Xiaoyu. He looked at Lü Shu. "Since when did you get this close with House Yu? You're calling her Xiaoyu now?"
At that moment, a cold voice asked, "Who's House Yu's Miss? Lü Shu, you've only been here for a few days … "
'Negative emotions from Lü Xiaoyu, + 666!'
Lü Shu looked at Lü Xiaoyu and smiled. "Why are you here?"
Lü Xiaoyu's eyes turned into crescent moons. "I'm here to protect you … Eh, what's wrong with you?"
At that moment, Lü Xiaoyu realized that Lü Shu's condition was a bit off. She and Puppeteer didn't know that Lü Shu had been shackled by Ze Meng. She said that she wanted to protect Lü Shu because she was now a class A, and she herself was a class 1A or a class 3B. With this kind of strength, she could go anywhere she wanted.
As for Lü Shu, he was just a class B cultivator. Of course he needed protection, Lü Xiaoyu thought with a smile.
What she didn't expect was that Lü Shu didn't even have a class B now.
Lü Shu gave her a look. Although he and Zhang Weiyu had been through thick and thin together, and Zhang Weiyu had a decent character, the problem was that this guy was too cunning. Didn't he want to use him as a bait?
Therefore, it was better not to let Zhang Weiyu know about his relationship with Lü Xiaoyu. It wasn't a bad thing to be cautious when you were outside.
Xiaoyu and Lü Shu already had a tacit understanding. When Lü Shu gave her a look, she immediately stopped talking and observed the situation.
Zhang Weiyu was confused for a long time. He had thought of the wrong person, but where did this little girl come from?
Wait, Zhang Weiyu suddenly asked, "That … little girl, have you seen an army before?"
"No." Lü Xiaoyu shook his head.
Zhang Weiyu was stunned. Why did the Blackfeather Army suddenly disappear? Could it be that the hoofbeats were not from the Blackfeather Army? This doesn't make sense …
He looked at Lü Shu and asked, "This young lady is …? I remember you said that you were an orphan with no family? "
Lü Shu: "…"
It was too early to say that. How would he know that Lu Xiaoyu would come?
At this time, Zhang Weiyu was also trying to guess Lü Xiaoyu's identity. Lü Xiaoyu looked very young, and he was a little too pretty. As for his strength … he couldn't tell.
Lü Shu thought for a moment and said, "You also know that I escaped from a slave owner, at that time …"
"I was his slave owner," Lü Xiaoyu said calmly.
Lü Shu: "???"
At this time, Lü Xiaoyu secretly looked at Lü Shu with a smile in his eyes. How was it? Did I react fast enough?
"Negative emotions from Lü Shu, + 666!"
He had wanted to make up a story that Lü Xiaoyu was a civilian and helped him when he escaped. It sounded like a story, but Lü Xiaoyu directly killed it …
Zhang Weiyu was shocked. "Really? Then why is his mark on … "
It would be a lie if Zhang Weiyu said that he didn't doubt it. After all, slaves with a mark on their buttocks were generally men! But it wasn't like Lü Xiaoyu and Lü Shu had never happened before. He had seen it a lot before. After all, nobles and slave owners were more or less twisted in Zhang Weiyu's opinion …
However, Zhang Weiyu was a little emotional. First of all, he still had doubts. But if what Lü Xiaoyu said was true, then it would be very sad.
He had such a beautiful slave owner at home, and when he escaped, there was another female slave owner who fawned over him. Was this really a world where looks mattered? Was a pretty boy popular everywhere he went?
In the past, Zhang Weiyu sympathized with Lü Shu, but now it seemed that Lü Shu didn't need his sympathy at all. He was a winner in life!
"Let's go back to town first." Zhang Weiyu said, "Field Ridge Town's garrison must have asked for help from the mainland. Now that the Blackfeather Army has suddenly disappeared, Field Ridge Town will be ready by the time they return. That place should be safe enough. I'm going to buy a few things before I leave. What do you two say? Are you coming with me or …? "
Yu Die had given them some high-quality cloth as a gift, but Lü Shu had asked Zhang Weiyu to secretly exchange it for godnotes in town. Lü Shu would get ninety percent, while Zhang Weiyu would get ten percent. Even so, it was still enough to exchange for a lot of food.
Back on Earth, Lü Shu had considered the possibility of spirit stones becoming the new currency of the cultivation world. The problem was that even spirit stones of the same size contained different amounts of energy, and it was difficult for ordinary people to tell them apart. As a result, they lacked the basic requirements to become a currency.
Furthermore, a single spirit stone was worth more than a hundred thousand spirit stones, which made it extremely expensive.
At first, spirit stones had been used as the currency, which had been very confusing. But when the Old Divine King unified the system of weights and measures, he also unified the currency. Godnotes were issued by the royal city and managed by the royal city's banks. Every single godnote was stamped with the bank's unique seal.
This sort of counterfeiting was even more advanced than back on Earth. Just like spirit stones, there was no way to fake them. Some people had tried to imitate the seal, but when they discovered that the royal city's banks had experts who could trace the imprints, very few people dared to take the risk. There were still fake godnotes, but they were almost negligible. The commoners had also developed some basic methods of counterfeiting.
At first, the Old Divine King didn't accept the idea of using godnotes. After all, everyone thought that the old man was being too simple-minded. In the past, the spirit stones had always been solid, but now he wanted to use a piece of paper to exchange for everyone's spirit stones and turn them into the Divine King's personal property? How was that even possible?
Back then, ordinary cultivators didn't have much trust in the newly established royal city. Who could say for sure how long the Divine King would remain in power? Before the royal city was built, Lü Zhou had been a chaotic place. What was united for a long time must be divided, and what was divided for a long time must be united. The commoners were used to it.
Eventually, the royal city was built, and remained untouched for three thousand years. The Divine King's position was unshakable, and for as long as the royal city was built, the Lü Dynasty would continue to exist.
The Old Divine King didn't use coercive methods to force everyone to use godnotes. Instead, he enfeoffed the four Emperors Of Heaven, as well as a few other aristocratic clans to help him expand his territory. Eventually, he demanded that the Emperor Of Heaven and the aristocratic clans only use godnotes for their businesses. Because of how large their businesses were, when they started using godnotes, their business partners were forced to do the same.
As a result, everyone realized that godnotes were incredibly useful.
At the time, Lü Shu had asked Zhang Weiyu if the four Emperors Of Heaven would be so obedient. Zhang Weiyu had replied that anyone who disobeyed him would die, and anyone who dared to disobey him ….
Now that Zhang Weiyu had made it clear that he wanted to buy the grain, Lü Shu suspected that Zhang Weiyu's old friends were already hiding in the caves. Most likely, they were just as poor as Zhang Weiyu. Therefore, the grain Zhang Weiyu had purchased was extremely important.
If it weren't for Lü Shu, Zhang Weiyu would probably have been hiding in the caves, gnawing on tree roots until the war was over ….
