Chapter 576: Expensive Rice in Chang'an

"Two thousand wen per dou of rice, two thousand wen per dou of rice!"

"Chang'an's West Market was desolate, only the rice shop remained open. The shop's assistant loudly announced the latest rice price, it was shocking to hear."

"During the early Tianbao years, Chang'an's rice price was only twenty wen per dou; now it has directly increased a hundredfold!"

"How much is one dou of rice?"

"If measured without fraud, it is about five kilograms or a bit more."

"Nevertheless, those buying rice still formed a long line."

"The technique Wildfire Prairie Fire was created by Fang Quan based on the Fang family's spear technique's strongest move, Prairie Fire; the Prairie Fire move emphasizes sweeping and cutting, but Wildfire Prairie Fire not only carries the might of Prairie Fire, it also incorporates the force of simultaneous thrusting—while sweeping, the spear tip thrusts out, directly attacking Zhao Ziyi with full force."

"When Li Gengyun spoke, he planted a flag on a mountain ridge thirty li outside Pingyang Pass; this ridge is unlike other places—it is the necessary route from Xianyang Pass to Pingyang Pass, and the road passes right through the middle of the ridge, equivalent to a U-shaped valley."

"Even if they all took Battle Pills, this was only temporary; ultimately, they were still no match."

"When Tang Jiabin and Wang Xigong began playing 'Making a Turtle' and 'Roasting a Turtle' in their offensive-defensive showdown, the third-ranking figure of the Great West Regime, Ai Nengqi, was suffering yet another defeat these past days. This string of failures cannot be taken as proof of his incompetence, after all, the enemies he face have surpassed this era."

"Duan Feng remained calm amid change; at the instant he was about to be struck by the Tiger-loving Blood Pig, his body jerked half a step to the left."

"Finally, after more than ten minutes, a thunderous blast erupted from the black clouds, its ravaging energy spreading like a tide in all directions, turning everything it passed into ruins. The energy surge swept out, and the endless desert at that moment became restless, raising dust that obscured vision within a hundred li."

"A pair of deep eyes, fickle as yin and yang, now sorrowful now joyful, ever-changing, fixed intently on the tragic, song-changing scene before them."

"That person was wavering in doubt; although he did not fear death, he did not want to suffer inhuman abuse before dying."

"Unlike the others' moods, Yan Yue felt like crying—this is disastrous; Senior Xia Yun also intends to confess to classmate Jizi, what can we do?"

"At that moment, Lin Xue took off her tactical vest and pulled out the bulletproof plate at her back."

"As Deng Wei's words fell, a horde of guards rushed in from outside, surrounding Wang Yishi on all sides; an ordinary person would have been terrified and at a loss, but Wang Yishi, experienced and prepared, remained calm and burst out laughing."

"\"Master Bartes, you are an expert in taming magical beasts; what do you think of these fire-spitting poison lizards? \" Harry asked respectfully."

"\"There's a high chance of dying in the spatial storm, but if fortunate enough, it's not impossible to find a new world to inhabit before the downfall. \" Xuan Yuan blinked, his handsome face expressionless, his tone lazy with a hint of arrogance; he gave a light chuckle and said lightly."

"\"Don't worry, this is the tavern opened by Dean Meilin; who would dare cause trouble here—it's simply unbearable to live like that. It's fine, we'll go first to the arena to grab a good spot to cheer on Brother Darui. \""

"Many cultivators awaited rescue; the great hole opened, and one could see someone rushing out from inside. Suddenly, everyone flashed, watercolor ink appearing—it was time, the transmission began, and all had to return to their respective places."

"At that moment, the signal officer beside Daigaote raised the signal flag again, warhorses neighed, and a unit of fully armored heavy cavalry, even their horses barded in armor, charged forth like an iron-blood torrent, crashing into the Bearmen's ranks, and the brutal close-quarters melee erupted."
