For Lu Qingyu's request, Xu Yang had already expected it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Miss Lu's request is better to let us send a favor, half a year later, if the three of us want to open the passage to the Northern Regions in the Temple of Earth, most of them will be beyond our strength, so we really need to recruit some like-minded people. The most powerful Confucian faction in the Xiaoxian realm is thriving here and at ease, so naturally they will not easily enter the Temple of Earth to adventure, I am afraid that they can only find helpers in these casual cultivations. We found helpers and divided the mercenaries in the eastern county. Kill two birds with one stone, why not. Xu Yang replied.

"That's right, we're going to break into the altar anyway. Bai Muhua agreed.

I agree. Bai Hibiscus nodded.

"Well, since all three of you have agreed to my request, I will thank you here in advance, you can rest here for a while, and when Miss Hibiscus has healed from her injuries, the specific time and plan of this operation will be agreed upon by the three of you, and I will try my best to cooperate with your actions and provide some help. ”

"Miss Lu, I have a question, why Confucianism can't tolerate the existence of other schools in the Xiaoxian world?" asked Bai Mujian.

"According to the classics, the place where the Little Sage World was founded is indeed not what it is now. At that time, the three major schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism all existed in the Xiaoxian Realm, and other forces such as the Ghost Dao all depended on these three major schools to survive, but this situation only lasted for 50 years, and the various factions began to fight for the interests divided within the Xiaoxian Realm. Since the Confucian faction was the most powerful, the Taoist and Buddhist factions united to deal with Confucianism, but in the end it was Confucianism who won this tragic battle. This battle between the sects made the Confucian leaders clearly realize that it was impossible for many large sects to coexist for a long time in the small territory of the small sage world. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, the Xiaoxian world established a theocratic ruling system, making Confucianism the only faith, and other believers in Taoism and Buddhism were designated as pagans. Although this policy killed many people at the time, it also brought long-term peace and stability for 200 years. ”

"So, we're here, too. ”

"You are my friends, and I dare not say anywhere else, but there is absolutely a guarantee of safety in the West County City. ”

......

Lu Qingyu set up a large table of delicious banquets in the teahouse to catch the wind for the three of them. After the banquet, Lu Qingyu left the teahouse under the pretext that he still had official affairs to do, and instructed the shopkeeper to take care of the three of them and report to them at any time.

......

After Lu Qingyu left, only Xu Yang and the three were left in the room.

"Do we really want to trust this Miss Lu and go to the area controlled by Dongjun City to recruit helpers?" asked Bai Muhua.

"The matter of recruiting helpers is indeed a way, if we don't agree to Lu Qingyu's condition now, it means that we may be co-opted by Dongjun City. The "Linghu Xia" who embarrassed us before is also a person from the West County City, and his identity in this county town is definitely not low, if he lets "Ling Hu Xia" know that we are in the county town, even if Lu Qingyu can protect us from dying, I am afraid it will not be easy to leave this place. We might as well push the boat down the river and get out of here safely. ”

"It's still Xu Gongzi's thoughtfulness. ”

"Brother Mu Hua praised it, being in the other world, I have to think about it more, what we need now is to take care of our respective injuries and recover to the best condition, and the others can only take a step from the side. ”

After the three of them agreed on their opinions, they went back to their rooms to rest.

......

The day before, inside the main hall of the West County Town.

An old man wearing a purple and gold robe, with a dignified appearance, a dignified posture, and a red face sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall, was the lord of the West County, Lu Wujie.

On the opposite side stood Lu Qingyu and Ling Huxia.

"Lord Yu, Xia Guan has just returned from Beicheng, although the drought is serious, everything is under control. Ling Huxia said.

"Well, that's good. The Lord of the West County on the dragon chair replied.

"Qingyu, I didn't answer you about what you asked me last time, and now that you have made Uncle Fox come back, he will explain it to you personally. ”

"Uncle Linghu and niece have an unknown matter, there are traders in Beijun who violate their father's ban on selling grain at high prices, and the two families found behind them are the descendants of my uncle. ”

"Qingyu, you misunderstood, let me explain this matter to you. In the 300 years since the establishment of this small sage world, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the population has increased from 100,000 at the beginning to 300,000 now. However, the territory of the Xiaoxianjie is limited, and the land available for cultivation is also extremely limited, even if there is no drought, if the population continues to increase like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the resources of the Xiaoxianjie will not be able to support it at all. In order to survive, there will inevitably be wars and turmoil, and the arrival of this drought has only brought this crisis forward. It has only been five years since the last war between the West and East Counties, and the country is recuperating, and no one wants to join the army at all in this conscription. But if you don't join the army, you won't have enough to eat or even starve to death, but if you join the army, you can eat enough, and the common people will naturally join the army enthusiastically. Since raising the price of food in North County, many people who are reluctant to join the army have come to join the army in order to have a full stomach, and now our army personnel are close to full strength. ”

"Oh, so you're deliberately raising the price of food just to prepare for the war and conscription in the eastern county town this time?"

"That's just one of the reasons. Second, Dongjun is also preparing for war, and both sides are not sure about the outcome of the war. The food shortage in North County and the increase in food prices will send a signal to the outside that there is an uncontrollable food crisis in West County under the influence of drought. I sent someone to find out that Dongjun has sent people to infiltrate Beicheng to raise the price of grain together, and it won't be long before Dongjun thinks that we have been discouraged by the food crisis, and the foundation is unstable, so it will naturally take the opportunity to raise troops to attack. In fact, we are deliberately showing weakness and luring the snake out of the hole. When the time comes, let's invite you into the urn, and this battle will be won. ”

"Uncle is worthy of being the first assistant of the West County City, and he is well versed in governing the country and the art of war. As far as the current situation is concerned, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, after all, it is Xijun who is more affected by the drought, and the sooner the decisive battle seems to be more beneficial to us, but this has suffered most of the poor people in Beicheng. ”

"The way of the king is not to cherish the ordinary people, and the truth that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat is the foundation of the way of a king. The foundation of the country is twofold, one is the quality of the population and the other is economic prosperity. The quality of the population and the economic prosperity are mostly in the hands of the wealthy people in the county town, although the population of the northern city is also quite large, but most of the people are simple laborers, for the survival of the country, the lesser of the two, can only sacrifice the interests of some of the people of the northern city. ”

In fact, those who hold power can not only control their own destiny to a certain extent, but also control the fate of ordinary people at will, and ordinary people are really dogs in the eyes of the sky. Lu Qingyu sighed.

"Then next, do you really want to prepare for the martial arts competition with Dongjun?" Lu Qingyu continued to ask.

"Judging from the current intelligence, this is just an agreement put forward by Dongjun to let us relax our vigilance, if we concentrate on preparing for the competition and relax our armaments, we will give Dongjun a chance to surprise our troops. But if Dongjun is sure to win the competition, it will definitely make this competition happen as soon as possible, and both sides are happy to see that they can eliminate the opponent's top combat power in advance in the competition. In the Little Sage Realm, there are three True Dan Realm cultivators who represent the highest level of combat power, in the West County and the East County. It is said that not long ago, among the excluded casual cultivators, he also succeeded in advancing a True Dan Realm cultivator, and now the people of Dongjun have begun to win over this True Dan Realm cultivator's casual cultivation, and from the information he has obtained, this person is also inclined to cooperate with Dongjun City. After discussing with Lord Ling Zun, my idea is to find an opportunity to directly wipe it out, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, even if it can be used by me, it will raise a tiger afterwards. ”

"Oh, then Uncle Linghu has a way to get rid of this True Dan Realm cultivator. ”

"It will take time. ”

"Niece, I have an idea. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"A few days ago, I ...... on my way to North County." Lu Qingyu told Ling Huxia about meeting Xu Yang, and proposed to let Xu Yang and the three of them use it for their own use to divide each other's strength.

"It turned out to be him. Ling Huxia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the name Xu Yang.

Lu Qingyu has a good impression of Xu Yang, and naturally wants to see Xu Yang protect the three of Xu Yang after making meritorious contributions to Xijun, so that Hu Xia always adheres to the view that it is not my race and his heart must be different, and the two of them cannot be separated.

In the end, under the mediation of the lord of the western county, Ling Huxia agreed to let Lu Qingyu use the division of Xu Yang and the three of them to prepare for the dissolution of the eastern county, but the condition was that once it was found that the three of Xu Yang had different intentions, they would be decisively eliminated. Only then did Lu Qingyu ask Xu Yang and the three of them to help a day later.

......

Xu Yang and the three of them didn't know about the agreement between Ling Huxia and Lu Qingyu.

In the past few days in the "Yuhua Building", Xu Yang and Bai Muhibiscus seized the time to recover their bodies, while Bai Muhua went out to investigate the situation in Xijun City.

Inside the room.

Xu Yang sat on the bed with his eyes closed alone, thinking about how to improve his combat power in a short period of time. If you encounter Ling Hu Xia or a True Dan Realm cultivator with the same strength as Ling Hu Xia, how can you let the three people on your side retreat with their whole body.

It takes time to increase one's strength, and if one opens the Nightmare Beast Dream Realm again and goes to the time to cultivate the "One Jiazi" in it, it is possible that he will further improve his cultivation to the peak of the Peiyuan Realm. The last time I ventured in the Land of Howling Demons, I used a Nightmare Beast Dream and almost fell into it. After thinking about it, before mastering the "Dolphin Brain Splitting Technique" taught by the master "Guigu Night Flame", it is better not to rashly use the Nightmare Beast Dream Realm.

Another feasible way is to wake up Azhu. Ah Zhu, as his natal spirit pet, is synchronized with his own cultivation, and after Ah Zhu wakes up, he is equivalent to having another Peiyuan Realm monk, and the power of the Nirvana Flame Spirit will reach a new height.
