【At the entrance of the hunting competition camp】On the day before the hunting competition, the young masters from various cities arrived one after another. Among them, Mo Hansheng was obviously the most eye-catching. He was dressed in black, with sharp eyebrows and eyes as cold as the winter wind, as if able to freeze the air. He rode a black warhorse named "Night Shadow," a rare black warhorse that seemed to shimmer with a silver-gray glow like the night sky under the faint sunlight, as if embedded with stars, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura. Mo Hansheng's gaze swept over everyone beneath him like a long sword.
"Young Master, should we go directly to the competition camp to rest, or do you have other arrangements?" asked Mo Hansheng's guard, Nan Qiang.
After a moment of thought, Mo Hansheng responded, "Let's go to the camp first, change into casual clothes, and then follow me to a place."
"Yes," Nan Qiang nodded in response.
The two soon arrived at the hunting competition camp, where they saw that the camp was already prepared with tents for residents of various cities. Mo Hansheng coldly scanned the surroundings and snorted, "Hmph! The camp is arranged quite..." His voice revealed disdain for the layout of Qingli City, "I've long heard of the abundant resources of Qingli City, and today seeing the extravagance of this camp's layout, it truly lives up to the rumors."
Mo-Cang City's tent was located in the center of the camp. Stepping inside, the decorations were luxurious beyond words. Fine calligraphy and paintings, sandalwood couches, and even the exquisite patterns on the carpets underfoot. Nan Qiang stepped forward and said, "Indeed, the resources of Qingli City are quite good."
Mo Hansheng did not respond to Nan Qiang's words. His gaze wandered around the tent, and he snorted, saying, "Hmph! These things are just a burden on the battlefield! Alright, hurry up and change clothes!"
"Yes," Nan Qiang nodded in response.
Mo Hansheng took off his black clothes and put on a merchant's outfit. Nan Qiang followed suit and walked out of the tent.
"Young Master, where are we going?" Nan Qiang asked.
"Don't talk so much! Just follow me!" Mo Hansheng ordered. Nan Qiang dared not say more and followed closely behind Mo Hansheng. The two quickly left the camp, Mo Hansheng walked with determination, as if he already had a clear destination in mind. The two arrived at the central street of Qingli City, with shops lining both sides of the street and a bustling crowd.
"Young Master, what are we doing on the street?" Nan Qiang asked curiously.
Mo Hansheng glanced at Nan Qiang and then said coldly, "Don't call me Young Master, from now on, call me big brother."
Nan Qiang hesitated and said, "Big... big brother. Where are we going now?"
Mo Hansheng nodded and continued, "We came here this time to understand the resource reserves of Qingli City. Remember that!"
Nan Qiang nodded, indicating understanding: "Got it."
They walked on the bustling street, Mo Hansheng's eyes scanning the surroundings and the crowd like an eagle. Nan Qiang followed closely behind him. "Brother, what specific resources are we looking for?" Nan Qiang asked in confusion.
Mo Hansheng stopped in his tracks, and with a firm grip on Nan Qiang's shoulder, he looked at him seriously: "We're checking the food reserves, weapon supplies, and anything else that might appear on the battlefield in Qingli City."
Nan Qiang nodded and replied, "Yes."
"Remember, you must act low-key and not expose your identity," Mo Hansheng reiterated.
"Yes, big brother," Nan Qiang responded respectfully.
The two continued on their way, and the commotion in the grain shop caught Mo Hansheng's attention. He stopped in front of the grain shop. Mo Hansheng stood in front of the grain shop, watching the bustling crowd inside as the workers busily carried bags of grain, seemingly unaware of the two. The entrance of the grain shop was also piled with grain, indicating a rich reserve.
"Brother, this grain shop looks like it definitely has a lot of grain in reserve," Nan Qiang said softly.
Mo Hansheng nodded slightly, not speaking, just scanning the surroundings. "Let's go in and take a look," Mo Hansheng said in a low voice. Nan Qiang nodded in agreement and followed Mo Hansheng into the grain shop.
The clerks in the grain shop looked up and saw Mo Hansheng and Nan Qiang entering the store, but they only glanced at them hastily and didn't pay too much attention. After all, the grain shop was bustling with business, with a large number of customers coming in and out every day, and they were already used to it. Mo Hansheng and Nan Qiang casually strolled around the shop, pretending to be ordinary customers. They browsed through various grains while secretly observing the environment of the grain shop.
At this moment, a woman carrying a bag of grain walked out from the back. Mo Hansheng noticed that the woman's attire was quite exquisite, with luxurious silk, not like the usual dress of common people, indicating her noble status.
"Young Master, please leave it to us. Let us handle it," a clerk, seeing the situation, hurried forward, wanting to take the grain off Li Yue's shoulder.
Mo Hansheng thought to himself, "Young Master? This woman is actually the Young Master of Qingli City?" He was secretly surprised and became even more curious about this Young Master of Qingli City.
"It's okay, more people means more strength," Li Yue said with a slight smile. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she accidentally stepped on some scattered grains of rice on the ground, lost her balance, and was about to fall. In that instant, Mo Hansheng quickly rushed forward and firmly held Li Yue in his arms.
"Thank you," Li Yue said, standing steadily with the help of Mo Hansheng, and then looked up to thank him.
Mo Hansheng smiled and responded, "Are you okay?"
Li Yue smiled and shook her head gently after putting away the food, replying, "I'm fine, thank you."
Mo Hansheng smiled faintly and waved his hand, "It's just a small favor, no need to be polite, miss."
Li Yue was attracted by Mo Hansheng's accent and couldn't help but ask, "From your accent, you don't seem to be from Qingli City?"
Mo Hansheng nodded and smiled, "Yes, indeed. My brother and I came from Wuyan City to make purchases."
"Purchases?" Li Yue looked at Mo Hansheng and asked, "What are you buying?"
"Mainly grains, there is a shortage of grains in our Wuyan City." Mo Hansheng pointed to the pile of grains behind Li Yue and said, "Li Yue immediately understood Mo Hansheng's intention. She looked at the grains behind her and asked Mo Hansheng, 'How much do you plan to buy?' Mo Hansheng gestured with his hand, 'Ten stones, bring back more this time.'"
Li Yue listened and immediately instructed the assistant in the grain shop without hesitation, "Alei, put this young master's ten stones of grain on my account."
Mo Hansheng immediately waved his hand and said, "Miss, how can this be?"
Li Yue waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, you just helped me, consider it a token of thanks. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first." With that, she turned and left, leaving Mo Hansheng standing in place.
Mo Hansheng looked at Li Yue's retreating figure and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself, "This Young Master of Qingli City is quite different from the others."
At that moment, Nan Qiang walked over and patted Mo Hansheng's shoulder, pointing to the food on the ground, asking, "Big brother, what should we do with this food?"
Mo Hansheng snapped out of his thoughts, a determined look flashed in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Don't waste it. Send someone to bring it back to the city."
Nan Qiang nodded and said, "Yes."
