Chapter 650: Kneel down for Lao Tzu
The town of Sacred Leaf became a large construction site, full of new buildings rising from the ground. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info barbarian laborers are all powerful, coupled with the rich wood and stone resources of the Silent Forest and Chilong Mountain, so that this place is changing every day. The town hall is also being flipped, and compared with the previous simplicity, the bold layout of the new building is completely the frame of the administrative center of a large city.
Wild Crane has a lot of complaints about this, and feels that there is no need to be so high-profile. But Gu Tianyou directly ignored his opinion and insisted on expanding the scale of Shengye Town by more than ten times. This kind of expansion and rebuilding at any cost naturally brings great consumption. The resources stolen from the Andalusian Guild and the Wind-and-Fire Thieves were depleted quickly, and Safina, who was in charge of the interior, complained more than once that the stock of food and gold was getting dwindling and that a crisis was imminent.
The residents of Shengye Town are mainly subhuman races, known as the workers of the barbarian tribe and the soldiers of the orc race, and they can't kill you and eat you. They are all talented, but they are lazy and gluttonous, and they are more accustomed to relying on the sky for food, and they are not a race that knows how to grow crops at all. Andalusia has a sprawling farm in the southern part of the Red Dragon Mountains, where thousands of federal immigrants who believe in Mingzun grow crops to feed the needs of the town.
In the past, the Andalusians controlled the food supply in the town of Sacred Leaf, including other industries related to the crop industry. After that night, the Andalusians suffered heavy losses and basically withdrew from the town of Saint Ye, which directly led to the interruption of the food supply. Although the town office confiscated the inventory they left in the town, the quantity was limited after all. These barbarian laborers work for a maximum of ten, but each eats for a maximum of twenty.
Gu Tianyou gave a death order before the retreat, to change the appearance of Shengye Town within a month, and let them see a different Shengye Town when the Divine Kingdom Patrol Army arrived. Whatever is needed, as long as it is needed for the expansion of the clamshell project, it will be met.
Safina had tried her best, but after all, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and she didn't have so many things in her hands, even if she had the ability, she couldn't help it.
Yang Kun of the Shennong Gang was still dormant on the barren lawn, and the helm of the Shennong Gang did not move, and he never showed up. Even if Gu Tianyou sent people to rob several warehouses in the town where the Shennong Gang was hoarding materials, he didn't say anything. This guy is clearly waiting for something. He could wait, but Gu Tianyou didn't want him to continue waiting, if nothing else, just for the millions of catties of grain hoarded by the helm of the Shennong Gang on the barren lawn.
Gu Tianyou was forced by Safina now that he had no choice, he had thought of all the ideas he could think of, the hundreds of immigrants in the Chaos Metaverse had grown some food, but it was only enough for a small surplus of their own rations, and if it was forcibly requisitioned, it would inevitably have a devastating impact on their lives. It's a bit more than worth the loss. The Andalusian Society in the Red Dragon Mountain should have some food in stock, but first, they don't dare to rush to grab it, and secondly, they still want to resume contact with them.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally hit the Shennong Gang with his idea.
The first step was to figure out the relationship between the Shennong Gang and the Shenguo military, and verified the previous speculation by visiting Shennongtang.
The old shopkeeper of the Chen family introduced that Yang Kun of the Shennong Gang was born in the Yang family of the Sun Returning City, but the exchanges between the Shennong Gang and the military were a bridge for the Chen family. It is not only this business cooperation in Shengye Town, but also a tacit understanding between the two sides at a higher level. The three elders of the Chen family are now the cabinet ministers of the counselor military aircraft in the court of the Kingdom of God, and the Yang family has a military squire who serves in the court. They belong to the same camp and fight against the two saints together.
With this relationship, it was only a matter of course for him to ask the Chen family to help him establish a good relationship with the Northern Army of the Kingdom of God. This Yang Kun can be described as an eight-sided and exquisite character, not only befriending the military of the Kingdom of God, but also having a very good relationship with Rigui City and the four major business groups of the Federation. He even worshipped under the door of Chu Yunhan, the leader of the Shuntian Dao Sect and the patriarch of the Heavenly Dao. It is said that it was personally recommended by an eldest lady of the Chen family.
The Heavenly Dao Sect spread throughout the Aurora Metaverse, and the Heavenly Dao Patriarch Chu Yunhan claimed to be the one who held the key to the door of the world, and entered the Aurora Metaverse on behalf of the Great Sage Master just to understand the savior. This person has been dormant in Kyoto for a hundred years in the Kingdom of God, and has secretly developed a huge network, and the Ancient Land Yuxu and the Three Sages of Xuanyuan all regard him as a great enemy, and they can't wait to deal with him quickly. However, this person is extremely good, and he actually developed the Heavenly Dao Sect to the territory of the Federation Mingzun, and he himself is hiding there, so that it is not easy for the saints of the Kingdom of God to hunt him down.
This kind of thing depends on whether people have the will in their hearts. There are many people in this world who are not satisfied with the status quo. The Heavenly Daoist missions were mainly aimed at the poor and the local scoundrels, and the disgruntled careerists in the big families. After years of secret development, it has really continued to be a considerable force, and its influence should not be underestimated. As a small prince on the ancient business road, Yang Kun inevitably had to deal with all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes often, and the Taoist Sect of Heaven was only for multiple identities and multiple paths.
This is the statement given by the shopkeeper Chen, but Gu Tianyou does not agree with it.
This Yang Kun returned to the city on the day of his birth, and has a close relationship with the Heavenly Taoist Sect, and also has frequent contacts with the Northern Army through the relationship of the Chen family, so I am afraid that the matter here is not so simple. The Chen family adheres to the ancestral teachings, takes medicine as the foundation of the family heirloom, does not fight with the world, and has no habit of being an enemy of others in thinking, so it is easier to draw relatively mild conclusions when looking at a matter.
The situation in the town of Sacred Leaf is very complicated, and the Andalusian Society and the Wind Forest Fire Thieves are the same thing, which can be seen from the fact that the Wind Forest Fire Thieves have never committed any crimes against them. The Wind Forest Fire Thieves are based in the Red Dragon Mountain, which is also the headquarters of the Andalusian Society. Bai Su once said that the Andalusian Society was ostensibly a business-oriented chamber of commerce, but in fact it had been trying to control the sub-human race with Huanxi pills and food. It's even more insidious than the wind and forest fires.
And the role of the Shennong Gang in Shengye Town is not simple, Yang Kun has dealings with the military of the Divine Kingdom on the one hand, and Andalusia on the other hand. For many years, the two sides have been at peace, and the grain he hoarded was obtained from the farm in Chilong Mountain. A significant portion of that food was used as military rations.
According to Bai Su, these people came to Shengye Town about eighty years ago, and gradually formed a scale after entering in batches. What puzzled Gu Tianyou was that the four major business groups of the Federation plus the Yang and Zhao families had worked hard in this place for so long, invested so much manpower and material resources, and enslaved a million subhuman races, was it really just to open up a gathering point for adventurers and acquire some specialties in the Silent Forest?
With the strength of the four major merchant groups of the Templar Order, they could have done better, and eighty years was enough time for them to run this place. But instead of doing so, they carefully controlled the speed of development in Sacred Leaf Town, seemingly consciously avoiding this place from attracting the attention of some people.
Gu Tianyou remembered that they had once pretended to be Wu Clan people and robbed a thousand-strong squad of the Divine Blessing Army, and the Chen family was still kept in the dark about this matter. And this is undoubtedly a very risky move, and they would never do it if it were not for extraordinary purposes. It can be inferred from this that they must be working on some big plan. And Yang Kun, a seemingly inconspicuous little person, must play a very important role in this plan.
The city of Rigui, which guards the West Sea, the four major merchant groups of the Knights Templar led by the Mihawk family, the border town that has been painstakingly run for eighty years, the northern army of the kingdom of God, a million enslaved sub-human races, and even the barbarians of the wasteland on the Arctic Ice Field, all these clues are connected together, and it constitutes an astonishing inference. This plan of theirs is most likely aimed at the Northern Army of the Kingdom of God! Even against the entire Aurora Kingdom.
Gu Tianyou knew very well that his arrival had upset their otherwise orderly balance. That's why Yang Kun spared no expense to hire a killer of Ling Xuozi's level to get rid of him. But he failed that night, and then the Wind Forest Fire Thief appeared, but he was wiped out by himself and his three disciples. Then he stood still, watching himself carry out construction in Shengye Town, eradicating the power of the Andalusian Society, and helping up the subhuman race that had been cleaned up by them.
What is this Yang Kun waiting for? Is it the upcoming 10,000-strong team of God's kingdom? Or after that night, a new batch of wind and forest fire thieves? Or is it a strong reinforcement? There are too many possibilities for answers, and even with Gu Tianyou's meticulousness, it is difficult to lock down a sure one.
A stationary snake is like an invisible enemy, and you'll never know where the attack begins. The best way to deal with it is to let him move first, Yang Kun pretended to be stupid and didn't move, so Gu Tianyou decided to startle the snake and force him to move, starting with grabbing his military rations. After greeting Chen Dihuang, the old shopkeeper of Shennongtang, Gu Tianyou took the little fox girl and called the wild crane again, and only three people and three rode towards the barren lawn.
The Barren Lawn is located in the northwest corner of Shengye Town, backed by the foot of Ten Thousand Trees Mountain on the outskirts of the Silent Forest. The general altar of the Shennong Gang is built on a raised hill, the mountain is gentle, the gate is simple, there is no power to resist danger and defend, but it is full of pretentious calmness. reminded Gu Tianyou of the stories handed down in ancient times about some wise generals who used their troops to take risks. This Yang Kun is probably a self-proclaimed smart guy.
Walking to the front of the walled gate, Yehe hesitated: "Are you really sure you want to do this?" What is the difference between asking for food from others and robbing it? ”
Gu Tianyou said with a smile: "He was unrighteous first, he sent someone to stab Lao Tzu, and other people's swords were against Lao Tzu's throat, why couldn't Lao Tzu cut him backhand?" I only need hundreds of thousands of catties of grain for him, which shouldn't be too much. ”
Ye He sighed: "It is not easy for him to survive in this place, and we have destroyed the original order when we first arrived, causing him to be disgusted or worried, and it is understandable that he will make some outrageous actions on the spur of the moment." ”
"Are you afraid that I will slaughter this place in a fit of rage?" Gu Tianyou looked at him with a smile: "Brother Dao, do you really think I'm a murderous madman?" ”
"The combined number of federal immigrants and wind forest fire pirates who died that night exceeded 50,000, and the vast majority of them were civilians. ”
Gu Tianyou motioned for the little fox girl to call the door, turned to the wild crane and said, "Your so-called civilians are robbers when they pick up knives and guns, they have regarded themselves as a high-level race in Shengye Town all these years, which one of them has not been stained with the blood of a few subhuman races on their hands?" If you say this to Bai Su, she can slap you with a big mouth, believe it? ”
"Forget it, don't mention the past." Ye He was a little reasonable, and after a while, he said: "Poor Dao hopes that you can go to the Heavenly Heart today, and make less killing, many people in the Shennong Gang are disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and Poor Dao asks you for personal favors on their behalf." ”
Gu Tianyou laughed: "Then it depends on Yang Kun whether he gives you this face." As soon as the words fell, the door of the Shennong Gang was opened, and a middle-aged bearded man came out with a heap of faces, trotted all the way to Gu Tianyou and Yehe, and said with his fists clenched: "The sheriff is here, the Shennong Gang is shining, and the villain Yang Kun is far away, and he dares to ask the sheriff Haihan to forgive his sins." ”
"you, forgive what's the sin? What does the sea mean? Lao Tzu doesn't have this preference, since he knows it's wrong, he immediately kneels down for Lao Tzu! ”
