Lü Shu had been wondering why Lü Zhou's currency, which didn't use gold or silver as a hard currency — spirit stones were used at the beginning, then godnotes were used after the standardization. How could there be something like needles to test for poison?
In the end, it turned out that the Old Divine King had copied Water Margin …
Lü Shu tried to explain the theory behind needles, telling them that it wasn't accurate, but Lü Shu felt that with Sun Zhongyang and the others' education, he probably wouldn't be able to understand.
Sun Zhongyang was a famous scholar in the imperial city. He was one of the top students in the Imperial College. How could he have known that he would be treated as an uncultured contestant by Lv Shu …
"There's no way to test for poison right now," Sun Zhongyang said. Sun Zhongyang said, "But I don't agree with using human lives to test for poison. My Sun family never uses human lives as a wager!"
At this time, Lü Shu noticed that the girls around him were looking at Sun Zhongyang differently. Their eyes were full of admiration, and they wanted nothing more than to devote their lives to him.
It was really only when they encountered something that they understood the fundamental difference between Sun Zhongyang and the rich kids in the capital. Lü Shu watched this scene happily. Actually, he quite admired Sun Zhongyang. He used to think that the kids in the capital were all contestants who didn't care about human lives.
Lü Shu spread his hands. "Then look, if we don't want to test for poison, then we definitely can't eat food from the outside world, right?"
Sun Zhongyang nodded. "That's true, but there's no food in the caravan, so we have to find a solution."
"But we can't always starve." Mo Xiaoya frowned. "It's at least half a month's journey to the capital."
"But we can't eat food from the outside world without testing for poison," someone said.
Now, the mole and food had become a sore point in the caravan. Food was the most important thing, not to mention the mole.
Suddenly, someone realized that although everyone was injured, they were still in a good mood. Why did they all become depressed overnight? Why was that?
In the end, when everyone thought about it carefully, they suddenly realized that it was all because of Lü Shu …
Lü Shu was the one who told them about the mole, and Lü Shu was also the one who told them that the food might be poisoned. Could it be that he was trying to create panic in the caravan? But why did he do that?
Mo Xiaoya gave the other person a look. They had been worried before that this Le Lyu would be bribed or something. Looking at how greedy he was, it was not impossible!
Therefore, Sun Zhongyang and the others couldn't help but suspect Lü Shu's motive of deliberately creating panic within the caravan!
Sun Zhongyang asked Lü Shu calmly, "Then what do you think we should do?"
He wanted to push the problem to Lü Shu and try to find clues from Lü Shu's way of dealing with it!
Just then, Lü Shu looked at Sun Zhongyang and the others and thought for two seconds before saying, "The price of my food here is fair and reasonable, and the quantity is enough …"
"Negative emotion points from Sun Zhongyang, + 777!"
"Negative emotion points from Mo Xiaoya, + 999!"
"Negative emotion points from …"
Sun Zhongyang, Mo Xiaoya, and the rest almost died of anger. Everyone was trying to guess why Lv Shu had mobilized so many people to create panic in the caravan. At this critical juncture, everyone was trying their best to think of the worst, but in the end, he spent so much effort just to sell food?!
Mo Xiaoya laughed coldly. "You're really greedy beyond my imagination. Just that bit of money from selling food can make you go through so much trouble?"
Lü Shu was puzzled. "That bit of money from selling food?"
"What, you want to sell normal food for a sky-high price?" Mo Xiaoya laughed coldly.
Lü Shu explained patiently, "You might not know me well …"
"Negative emotion points from Mo Xiaoya, + 666!"
The whole caravan was already in a very complicated mood. Song Bo felt that ever since Lü Shu joined the caravan, he had been troubled by something.
When Lü Shu mentioned the food trade, everyone realized that Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu probably had spatial equipment on them.
This way, Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu's identities were even more mysterious.
Mo Xiaoya said at the beginning that Lü Shu was so greedy because he was poor. In her opinion, although Lü Shu's strength was a mystery, he definitely had no background or knowledge. This was something that could be felt normally, because Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu often found many things novel.
But now … he had even taken out his spatial equipment!
As rich as Sun Zhongyang was, he was only given a spatial ring by the Sun Family's Elder Ancestor after he officially advanced to first rank.
Among the twelve of them, only two had spatial equipment. After all, they were not the only ones in the family.
Among the children of the royal city, whether or not they had spatial equipment seemed to be a dividing line. Having spatial equipment meant that one was truly valued by the family and qualified to enter the core power of the family.
But such a rare item, Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu had … and more than two!
When Lü Shu killed seven second rank masters outside Alchom Port, he thought he could seize one or two spatial equipment, but he didn't.
But there was actually a spatial ring kept by Lü Shu as a backup: the one he got when he killed Howard.
The mask that could change Lü Shu's appearance also had an internal space, but Lü Shu didn't intend to use it as a spatial equipment.
So … actually, even if Sun Zhongyang and the others added up, they wouldn't be as rich as Lü Shu. It was just that Sun Zhongyang and the others might not be able to accept this answer …
In the end, Song Bo spent a few hundred thousand godnotes to buy the 150 kilograms of grain and some dried vegetables from Lü Xiaoyu.
Just then, Mo Xiaoya and the others saw the red words "Long Meng Army" on the bag.
Mo Xiaoya whispered to Sun Zhongyang, "So he's from Long Meng Army!"
Wu Weijun had robbed two armies of grain — one was the Long Meng Army of Weibei Pass, and the other was a noble army. Back then, when he robbed the noble army, there was a huge commotion. If this bag of grain had a noble's coat of arms on it, then Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu's identities would have been exposed.
But when Lü Xiaoyu robbed the Long Meng Army, he stole it from underground, and even the Long Meng Army thought it was the Blackfeather Army who did it. That was why they wiped out the Blackfeather Army spies in the rear, which led to the war …
So, no one knew that Wu Weijun robbed the Long Meng Army before …
At that time, the Long Meng Army and the Blackfeather Army were fighting so hard that their brains almost popped out, but Lü Xiaoyu still thought that everything was under control …
"That should be the case. Otherwise, why would he have Long Meng Army's grain?" Sun Zhongyang nodded. "Maybe he was training in Long Meng Army."
By now, Sun Zhongyang was convinced that Lü Shu came from the mountains behind Jianlu, and was training in Long Meng Army.
"No wonder he was willing to betray General Wu Weijun. I heard that Long Meng Army hated Wu Weijun for watching the battle from the sidelines." Sun Zhongyang finally found a reasonable excuse for Lü Shu.
Mo Xiaoya frowned. "He did it for money!"
