Leaving the outskirts of the city, Amber, the steward of the Izumo Palace, and the black armor general led 300 soldiers and horses to gallop on the mountain paths, wearing stars and moons all the way, non-stop.

If it was just Amber and the Black Armor General, with the ability of the two of them to fly to the sky, they would have arrived at the capital of Izumo Country Yundu a long time ago, but with ordinary armor soldiers around them, the speed could not be improved at all.

More importantly, Amber has no intention of returning to Yundu.

Passing through a small green forest, the army set up camp and rested for a while.

General Black Armor: "Lord Steward, let's just hand over and leave the city?" I feel aggrieved when I think about it, this departure from the city was fought down by our Izumo Province with a lot of effort!"

Amber sneered: "Naturally, it won't be handed over so easily, the old man who left the city before originally wanted to give King Xi a dismount and embarrass him, but he didn't expect that a third-grade qi refiner appeared under King Xi, which was really unexpected by the old man, hey, Xiguo really has a deep heritage!"

The black armor general also bowed slightly: "Lord Steward, the aura of the Qi refiner of the three-rank Fengbo realm in the Xi Kingdom is a little unstable, and it seems that the breakthrough has not been long in coming, and it seems that King Xi is prepared." ”

Amber: "Well, the general of Xiguo is called Cangman, he is a retainer of King Xi, and he has excellent cultivation talent, and last year he led the army of Xiguo to aid and defend the country, and made outstanding meritorious deeds. ”

It is inevitable to hand over and leave the city, after all, it is the will of the Son of Heaven, and a small border country like Izumo Country without a background is no better than those imperial gods with rich background, and the Son of Heaven can decide their life and death with a word.

The black armor general also sighed: "Hey, it's really annoying, the Celestial Empire is too partial to the Xi Kingdom, and our Izumo Kingdom is also a part of Zhuxia, why favor one over the other." ”

The steward Amber frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't say, the saint is not something you and I can predict, the Son of Heaven is angry, the family is ruined, and the country is ruined, you must not be disrespectful!"

The black-armored general knew that he had lost his words, so he didn't dare to say anything more, but just stomped his feet to calm the resentment in his heart.

Amber sighed when he saw this, his eyes were cold, and he said faintly: "Actually, the saint is not partial to Xiguo, but during this time, Xiguo has been in the limelight, and the Son of Heaven has vigorously rewarded him, this time he handed over the city and cannot be changed, we in Izumo Country cannot be disobedient and disrespectful, let alone prevaricate and refuse to pay, but leaving the city is not so easy to take!"

The black armor general's heart tightened, and he frowned and pondered: "Our country can't make a move, can it be that the surrounding monsters are instigated to invade the Xi country?" This is a good idea, but the other party also has a third-grade qi refiner plus two or three thousand troops, I'm afraid it won't have much impact on them!"

Amber bowed: "You're right, Licheng has been in the hands of the Sun royal family for many years, and the monsters in the mountains have long been out of the climate, and they can't impact Licheng at all!"

The black-armored general stirred the fire, added firewood, and said, "Lord Steward, what should we do, should we go back to the palace and make an errand?"

Amber sneered: "If you don't want to be reprimanded by the king, you can go back." ”

"Hehe, Amber must have a clever plan, and the last general is all under the orders of the lord!" The black-armored general recalled the king's explanation, and immediately struck a spirit, and smiled to curry favor with Amber.

Amber nodded with satisfaction: "It's not a clever plan, do you know how Sun Guo destroyed the country in the first place?"

"Isn't it the countries that join forces to swallow up? Isn't it okay for us to unite with other countries, although the Son of Heaven generally ignores the wars of the border countries, but..."

"Stupid!" Amber said angrily: "Sun Guo died due to the invasion of ghosts, and it was not the joint efforts of some countries, the invasion of ghosts and wars for many years, and the great loss of troops, which made Sun Guo turn from prosperity to decline, and we just buried a terminally ill patient back then." ”

The black armor general touched his head, and looked like he suddenly realized: "Lord Steward, the last general understands that Xiguo is a small country, if it is constantly plagued by wars for many years, then the national strength is not good, not to mention leaving the city at that time, even Xidu will be dragged down because of this, we just need to continue to encourage ghosts and monsters to invade and leave the city..."

Amber sneered: "Why bother, the old man knows a ghost king in the Empty Ghost Domain, just say hello, and then Lidu will fall into the endless tide of ghost army, hahahahahaha~"

The black armor general's face was happy, but his heart was chuckled, could it be that Sun Guo's invasion of the ghost army back then was not an accident, but a big conspiracy?

Not long after, there was a gust of wind in the green forest, and suddenly there was a ghostly aura and phantoms.

......

Leaving the city, the Xidu army camped outside the city, repaired the city wall fortifications, on the other hand, opened a warehouse to provide food, relief refugees, a few days ago in the city has been a lot of people starving to death, the Izumo army can ignore it, but Yao Yun left the city, naturally can not be left alone.

Fortunately, this time Yao Yun was well prepared, and he brought a large amount of grain and grass with the army, which was enough to feed the people and slaves of the whole city leaving the city for a month.

However, Yao Yun did not raise the people who left the city for nothing, and organized all the refugees to work in lieu of work.

It is said that the methods of this Izumo country are also despicable, and they will do everything.

The water conservancy facilities and bridges around the castle were all destroyed, and the iron farming tools that had been issued were recaptured by Izumo Province, and the Izumo army scraped a layer of land before leaving, robbing the people of food.

I couldn't eat enough, so I naturally didn't have the strength to farm, and the spring ploughing that was in full swing in the city came to an abrupt end.

Many things need to be done by manpower, the walls need to be repaired, and the collapsed houses in the city need to be repaired or even rebuilt.

Lack of people, lack of labor,

Spring ploughing and farming can not be delayed, it is the top priority, if you miss the spring ploughing and sowing, then the next year away from the city will be sad, and you can't let Xidu keep leaving the city.

Therefore, most of the people of Xidu had to be sent to farm, which was a long-term plan and a necessary part of sitting firmly away from the city, but other fortifications could not be delayed, building roads and bridges, and rebuilding their homes.

In fact, spring ploughing alone is also very urgent, and if it is later, the planting season will be missed.

In general, Yao Yun lacks labor, lacks a lot of labor!

Two days passed, and Yao Yun was in the camp to deal with the government affairs of leaving the city, when two beauties, one big and one small, walked in with a big grin.

This is naturally tassel with small bamboo essence.

"Why are you here, you haven't found a bamboo forest with bamboo shoots, and there is no one in the mountains?"

Yaoyao and Yunyun have great appetites, and the bamboo shoots they brought will be eaten in a day or two, and there is no ration, so they are naturally entangled with small bamboo essences.

Yao Yun knew that it would take the vitality (demonic energy) of the little bamboo spirit to give birth to the bamboo forest, so he didn't let the little guy give birth to the little bamboo forest out.

So the tassel took Xiaozhujing, Yaoyao, and Yunyun into the mountains to look for bamboo shoots.

Before Xiao Zhujing could speak, Tassel preemptively said: "King, there is a ghost aura around the city, and there seems to be a ghost army..."
