Ao Tianxing was silent, pacing back and forth in the courtyard for a while, and suddenly stood still and opened his mouth to call people to come: "Come on!"

A subordinate of the City Lord's Mansion quickly ran behind Ao Tianxing: "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Order the city guards, quickly assemble, and prepare for sortie. Now, when the Wang ** team goes to the Great Xia Kingdom, it is the time when a large amount of grain and grass is needed. At such a critical moment, there are even some people who can't distinguish between friend and foe, and would rather listen to the demagogy of the spies of the Great Xia Kingdom, they are just chaotic people! Such people must be exterminated, otherwise they will only mess up the people's hearts. Pass my order to go down, and order the city guards to strengthen the search in the city, and immediately kill the chaotic people when they encounter them, and return Xilin City to a truly peaceful world!" Ao Tianxing said coldly and viciously.

"Subordinates take orders!" the subordinate took the order and quickly went to make arrangements.

The reason why Aotianxing has this order is because, in Xilin City, there is no surplus grain and grass, but the king's order is even more inviolable, and after thinking about it, Aotianxing thought of the most effective solution - to call some civilians "chaotic people", and then you can force them to death in a grand manner, and directly rob them of their food.

Of course, Ao Tianxing did not think that once he was exposed to stealing the food and grass of the civilians under the pretext of killing the rebellious people, the king of Dongli Country would not only not protect him for the sake of grain and grass, but would behead him for the first time in order to appease the people's grievances.

Therefore, Ao Tianxing has another layer of calculation in his heart - in order to protect himself, in addition to robbing grain and grass, he also has to kill people!

Ao Tianxing's mind is full of thoughts at this moment, is how to grab the grain and grass as quickly as possible, and his life is like a mustard. In his opinion, anyway, a group of slaves will soon be sent to Dongli Country, and even if Aotianxing kills the civilians, Xilin City will not be short of labor. Moreover, Ao Tianxing felt that he could also unite with the noble landlords of Xilin City to encroach on the fields of the commoners. The aristocratic landlords could use cheap slaves to cultivate land, which in turn increased the interests of the aristocratic landlords. What's more, robbing civilians, as the lord of the city, he can also get the largest amount of money.

Under the heavy profit, there must be aristocratic landlords who are willing to go along with him! Thinking of this, Ao Tianxing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, secretly proud of his perfect plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, Aotianxing does not have to kill them all, but will still give some civilians who are willing to cooperate in the chance of survival: as long as they are willing to hand over 80% of the food, the city guards can let them go; otherwise, if they are unwilling to hand over the food, Aotianxing can only forcibly requisition. But in doing so, it will inevitably cause public outrage. In order to prevent civilian riots, Aotianxing decided to send troops to carry out brutal armed suppression internally.

A thousand city guards, dressed in armor and fully armed, left Xilin City.

Such a big battle is extremely rare in a border city like Xilin City. Therefore, the residents of the city couldn't help but ask each other and speculate about what was going on in the city.

Ignorance leads to panic. There was a tense atmosphere in Xilin City. It wasn't until two or three days passed that everyone gradually discovered that there was no major turmoil in Xilin City, and in addition, what the government has been propagating is that there are some thieves in the country who are harming the common people, and the government has taken action to suppress it, so the people of the city gradually believe it, and Xilin City quickly calmed down.

The authorities are confused, and the spectators are clear. The same rhetoric, in the case of the Xinghua business group, will not work.

Because the Xinghua merchant group always needs to maintain a certain degree of vigilance, and at the same time, in order to be able to know the changes in the city at the first time, they have always arranged personnel to collect various intelligence. Because of this, the Xinghua merchant group soon discovered the movement of the city guards.

In fact, long before the city guards were dispatched, Yi Xingchen had already received information that he was short of food when he left the country. Subsequently, the civil affairs official Mao Zhonghou also specially reminded Mu En that the Xinghua merchant group should not leave Xilin City in the short term, so as not to be attacked by bandits. In addition, among the information recently received by the Xinghua merchant group, there are rumors of massacres in some villages.

Although it was rumored that it was the hands of thieves, Yi Xingchen and Mu En knew that before these villages were slaughtered, the city guards had passed by. Therefore, they are almost certain that the so-called thieves are nothing more than a cover.

All this information made Yi Xingchen and Mu En feel cold. Although this is not related to themselves, they can be regarded as deeply aware of how cruel and ruthless the ruling class of the East Departure Country is.

Being in such a country, Yi Xingchen and Mu En felt that they had to be more careful and vigilant. As a result, Yi Xingchen personally issued an order that the people of the Xinghua merchant group were not allowed to go out of the city at will. Those who are in Xinghua Manor outside the city must also set up sentries in advance, and once they find signs of city guards or thieves, they must hide to ensure their personal safety. In addition, Yi Xingchen did not forget, and passed these news to Zhao Jin and others in Huangling Village, so that they could also strengthen their precautions and remind them to protect their own safety.

Although Zhao Jin and the others came from the East Leaving Country, now their other identity is that they are new residents of Xinghua Kingdom and collaborators of Xinhua Kingdom, so Yi Xingchen and Mu En also don't want to see them in danger.

At this time, Yi Xingchen was looking at the bright moon in the sky with some concern.

Counting from the day he arrived, Yi Xingchen had been in Xilin City for nearly half a month, to say the least, and it had been twenty days since he came to the Firmament Continent. After being away for so long, he was especially worried about what would happen to the comfortable restaurant in Blue Mercury Huaguo under the pressure of other competitors. Although he believed that Tong Xin had a certain ability to deal with it, thinking of Li Feng's style, Yi Xingchen was still worried about whether Tong Xin could deal with such a gentleman.

There is also Lin Wei's Xinghua Trade, if there is no capital, can she persevere, and will there be difficulties in the company's operation. In any case, Xinghua Trading Company has just been established.

As for the school's studies, it is the least worrying problem for Yi Xingchen.

"Young master, the night is slightly cool, please pay attention to your body. Alan stood behind Yi Xingchen and said softly.

Feeling the turmoil of leaving the country, Alan began to raise his vigilance spontaneously, and basically guarded Yi Xingchen's side to prevent something that would endanger Yi Xingchen.

"I know...... Alan, when do you think we can go back to China?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"I think it's going to be soon!" Alan said.

"Young Master, Captain Mu En is here. A guard came to report it.

"Well, let him in. Yi Xingchen agreed, moved to a stone chair, sat down, and waited for Mu En's audience.
