...... of Daze In fact, in Wu Tie's heart, he is more willing to call this place Daze County, Daze Township or something.

A clearing of 100 miles in the forest was carved out, and a fence 20 miles long and wide was enclosed with log piles, and outside the fence was a trench three or four zhang deep and five or six zhang wide, which was filled with turbid sewage.

This is Dazezhou.

Outside the trench was the farmland that had been carved out, and the fields were quite neat, full of all kinds of crops, lush and lush, and the highest corn stalks were almost two people high.

There are ridges of different widths between the fields for people to walk on.

Wu Tie took the lean man who claimed to be Li Er's rat to the fence, and the log-clad iron gate on the west side of the fence had been opened, and a suspension bridge was lowered and erected on the ditch.

Outside the west gate was a rather wide dirt road, and countless insects were tumbling and writhing in the mud more than a foot deep.

Hundreds of people gathered around a group of beast carts and walked slowly, and above their heads, more than three zhang above the ground, there were two small buildings with a length of twenty zhang as the team flew slowly, putting on a posture of accompanying guards.

Wu Tie squinted, the team over there was still more than ten miles away, and through the thin mist, Wu Tie could see clearly those huge beast power vehicles.

The cart is a sturdy beast with a length of three zhang and a height of more than two zhang, shaped like a green ox.

These big guys are in a group of three, and chains with wrist-thick wrists are fastened around them, and the chains are stretched straight and straight, and they constantly make a 'clang' sound.

The beast cart behind the giant beast was five zhang wide and more than ten zhang long, and the heavy body was all made of fine iron, and each beast cart had eight wide metal wheels, which were piled with small mountains of goods.

It's just that the goods are covered with thick animal skins, and I don't know what they contain.

Just by looking at the appearance of those one-foot-wide metal wheels sinking deep into the dirt, you can know that the weight of these beast-powered vehicles is not light.

There were more than 200 such carts, and each cart had a driver, followed by two or three guards on either side of the cart.

In front of the convoy, more than a dozen men in soft armor rode horses shaped like gray wolves, but several times larger than gray wolves, and slowly walked towards the west gate.

Wu Tie's eyes were sharp, and he could see the appearance of the leader from afar.

Li Erzi cautiously pointed at the man and told Wu Tie that the man was the third tax collector of Dazezhou.

Qian San was born burly and lean, and the tendons under his dark skin were like iron bars and steel bars, giving people an extremely tough feeling.

The clothes and soft armor on his body are a little damaged, but wearing it on this person, it gives people the feeling that the general has broken the golden armor in a hundred battles, and he does not feel simple and shabby, only a chilling pride and fighting spirit are rushing to his face.

"Tax...... It's a civil servant. Wu Tie touched his chin and muttered: "He is a tax collector in the tax supervisor under the state lord's mansion master, how does he look like a fighting man?"

Li Erzi smiled dryly: "Qian Sanren, he is not an official of the state lord's mansion...... The state lord's mansion, several state lords have died quickly, where is there still a person? Qian three people, he, he is ...... He is the tax collector of the Black Phoenix Army under the jurisdiction of the Shenwei Army stationed in Dazezhou. ”

Wu Tie turned his head to look at Li Erzi and blinked his eyes vigorously.

"Shenwei Army...... Black Phoenix Army...... The tax collector stationed by the Black Phoenix Army?"

Wu Tie patted his head vigorously, these news, but 'Huo Xiong' didn't have anything in his memory. After all, 'Huo Xiong' is just a small lieutenant of the Shenwu Army, and what he knows is mostly things in the Shenwu Army, and he knows very little about the Shenwei Army.

Li Erzi lowered his voice and hurriedly explained to Wu Tie the origin of this Qian San.

The Shenwei Army, which is the main field army of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom, is a pioneer regiment, which specializes in opening up the territory of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom, opening up more living space to the surrounding areas and seizing more survival resources.

Under the Shenwei Army, according to the heavenly stem, the earthly branch, one hundred and eight stars, etc., countless battalions of all sizes were organized, and these battalion heads with formal establishment were the backbone of the Shenwei Army.

However, in the Shenwei Army, in addition to the regular battalion head directly under the Great Jin Military Department, there are other auxiliary forces.

For example, a certain concubine of a wealthy nobleman is deeply loved by the elders, but due to the primogeniture inheritance system, it is impossible for him to inherit the family business.

Such a concubine is born in the world, and if he has no interest, he will leak some benefits from the fingers of the brother who took over the family business in the future, and he will eat and wait for death for the rest of his life, and this is how it will pass.

However, some ambitious sons of the concubines, while they are still doted on by their elders, and when the elders hold the power of the family, they use family resources to form a private army to join the Shenwei Army and join the Shenwei Army's great cause of expanding the territory, which is also an excellent way out.

Expanding the territory is also a great military achievement, accumulating more military merits, or opening up a large enough territory, these sons can obtain a small territory as their own territory.

Building a city and opening a mansion by yourself can be regarded as opening branches and branches for your own family and establishing a branch, which is a very good thing for both the family and yourself.

Even some top wealthy families, they don't care about the cost of forming a private army, they wantonly send the elite of the clan to form an army to join the Shenwei Army, and constantly occupy new territories for the family, which is also a way to increase the strength of the family and enhance the family heritage.

This kind of private army that joins the Shenwei Army on their own, their military names are strange, and they are not included in the official establishment of the Shenwei Army, and the Shenwei Army has the right to bind and manage them, but they do not have too mandatory command power.

To put it bluntly, these private armies are considered the official mercenaries of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom?

The Black Phoenix Army is such a private army.

Nearly half of the territory in Daze Prefecture was defeated by the Black Phoenix Army, including the most continental block in Daze where Wu Tie is now standing, and it was conquered by the Black Phoenix Army.

The Black Phoenix Army had opened up several mines in the nearby mountains, and Qian San was the head of the operation of these mines.

The reason why it is called Qian San's 'tax cheng' is because Dazezhou and Heifengjun agreed that in the next few years, fifty percent of Dazezhou's annual tax revenue will be paid to Heifengjun as military expenses, and Qian San is also in charge of this part of the tax authority.

In a word, Qian San is the spokesperson of the Black Phoenix Army in Dazezhou, and he is specifically responsible for collecting money from Dazezhou.

Wu Tie and Li Erzi were still some distance away from the West Gate, and they were whispering here, and in a row of wooden buildings next to the West Gate, hundreds of elite men had already walked out, and in the shouts of several officers, they formed a fairly neat line behind the city gate.

Most of these men are in the Heavy Building Realm, and a small part are in the Sense Xuan Realm, and only those few officers who are constantly giving orders are the cultivators who have just stepped into the Destiny Pool Realm.

"Are they the Black Phoenix Army?" Wu Tie pointed to the men in tattered soft armor.

"Uh-huh!" Li Erzi nodded desperately.

"What about the state army?" Wu Tie's brows twitched violently.

"Hehe......" Li Erzi looked at Wu Tie and smiled dryly: "State army...... Several state lords died, and several state army commanders died...... Eh, this, the post house and the post guard are dead......"

Wu Tie was silent.

Li Erzi pointed to the wooden building where those Black Phoenix soldiers lived and said softly: "Originally, that place was used to garrison the state army, but later...... A fire, clean, not a few state troops also died, these wooden buildings, or the Black Phoenix Army rebuilt. ”

"Who did this?" Wu Tie frowned and glared at Li Erzi fiercely.

"This ...... Who knows? Anyway, it's not me. Li Erzi smiled dryly: "Look, I am the cultivation of the Heavy Building Realm and the Heavy Heaven, and it's okay to bully the common people...... Against the military masters, we don't have this seed!"

The weather in Dazezhou is really not good.

Wu Tie and Li Erzi had just muttered a few words here, and I don't know where a large dark cloud floated in, 'Bang La', and the thumb-sized raindrops smashed down on their heads and faces.

In the urban area enclosed by the fence, the mud that had not yet dried up immediately turned into mud, and then into muddy water of suspicious color, and the ditch outside the fence was full of water, and quickly mixed with the muddy water in the city.

'Bang la', countless splashes of water on the ground.

Outside the west gate, the beast force convoy led by Qian San walked over slowly, and the black phoenix soldiers in the city greeted the drawbridge and helped the coachman drive those giant beasts into the city.

Qian San's sonorous voice came through the rain curtain: "Hurry up and send all the goods to the warehouse...... It doesn't matter if those ores are temporarily piled up in the open air, those herbs, animal meat, animal skins, animal tendons, animal bones, and those excavated grains are quickly sent to the warehouse, but they don't dare to let the rain spoil it. ”

Cursing the damn weather, Qian San yelled at the people in the city who were standing under the eaves of the thatched huts to take shelter from the rain: "Come on, are there any pants? Hurry up, help carry the goods, each person has three sweet potatoes, men and women, you can ......"

Greeting the damn weather again, Qian San roared: "Master Qian, I have a kind heart today, bad old man, old woman, and those babies who can move, come to help, two sweet potatoes per person!"

Near the west gate, tens of thousands of people rushed out of the thatched huts and wooden houses scattered together, and they braved the rain to surround a large cart under the command of the black phoenix sergeant, and quickly unloaded bags of goods from them.

Wu Tie smelled the smell of medicinal herbs, smelled blood, and as Qian San said, many of these goods were medicinal herbs and hunted meat.

Wu Tie stood in the rain curtain, quietly watching a large group of men, women and children brave the rain to carry goods.

Qian San sat on his mount and glanced around with a cold gaze.

He suddenly saw Wu Tie standing a hundred feet away, he rubbed his face vigorously, shook off the rain hanging on his eyelashes, squinted, looked hard and looked again, and then cursed vaguely.

Qian San's gray wolf mount rushed forward a few steps, and Qian San finally saw the appearance of Wu Tie under the cover of water mist and rain.

The gray wolf roared in a low voice, and came to Wu Tie with Qian San on his back.

The huge gray wolf stood in front of Wu Tie, a head taller than Wu Tie. Qian San sat on the back of the gray wolf, much taller than Wu Tie, he looked down at Wu Tie condescendingly, his eyes were cold, full of an inexplicable meaning.

"Shui Cheng, Qian San?" Wu Tie also stared at Qian San for a long time, and finally took the initiative to speak.

"Black Phoenix Army, Qian Liang joins the army, Qian San. Qian San squinted, looked at the battle robe on Wu Tie's body seriously, and then looked at the seal and token hanging on his waist: "General Sanpin?"

"Huo Xiong, who was originally the captain of the Shenwu Army, made some minor contributions, was valued by his superiors, and was promoted to Dazezhou as the chief general of the state army. Wu Tie politely said his origin.

"It's also unlucky, I don't think you can survive here for a few days. "Qian San's words are very unpleasant.

He pointed at Wu Tie and sneered: "General Sanpin, in the Shenwu Army, there are at least hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under your command, how can you have tens of thousands of personal soldiers around you...... What about your own soldiers, what about your guards, where are your horses, and what about your ...... Where's the ship?"

Qian San shook his head and muttered, "Especially, from the Shenwu Army...... You must have offended people if you were 'promoted' to the state army as the commander-in-chief, do a good job of the Shenwu army, and become a state army? ”

"Usually people like you don't live long. Qian San shook his head and patted the head of the mount, and the gray wolf roared, and turned around and left with Qian San on his back.

"So, Lao Tzu doesn't bother to take care of you, and he has a relationship with a dead man, which is really a waste of his mother's feelings. ”

Dropping a dirty word, Qian San just walked away neatly.

Wu Tie was stunned for a long time, and looked at Li Erzi with a dry smile: "This Lord Qian has a lot of personality. ”

Li Erzi laughed dryly, and looked at Wu Tie pitifully: "My lord, do you have any other orders......? Hey, the villain doesn't have the courage to go out of the city to hunt, and these three sweet potatoes can be held up for a while. ”

Wu Tie's face twitched.

Heavy building realm...... Even if it's just the cultivation of a heavy building realm and a heavy sky......

Even in the underground world, in such a barren rock world, the cultivation of the Heavy Building Realm and the Heavy Heaven can live a very nourishing life.

This Li Erzi ......

Wu Tie subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, Li Erzi's face changed suddenly, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "My lord, my lord, I am respectful to you, even if the villain makes a mistake, but the official sentenced me to be a prisoner, I am a prisoner of the pen, and my capital crime has been overtaken with the ......."

Li Erzi's head slammed into the ground, and the ground was full of muddy water, and soon he became a mess.

"Take me there...... State Governor's ...... No, the state lord station. Wu Tie let go of the hilt of his sword and looked at Li Erzi in annoyance.

The state army's garrison by the West Gate has been occupied by the Black Phoenix Army, and Wu Tie now just wants to settle down quickly, find a place to live, and then think about his actions in Dazezhou.

"The state lord's residence ......" Li Erzi looked at Wu Tie pitifully: "Originally, there was originally a state lord's mansion, a three-story wooden building...... It's a pity that the state lord was also killed, and a fire burned down...... Now on the ruins, it is used to raise pigs. ”

Li Erzi blinked his eyes and looked at Wu Tie carefully: "Why don't you ...... A few days ago, the three brothers of Zhao Lao went out hunting and were swallowed by a python...... If you're not too unlucky, you might as well take a break in their house for a while?"

Li Erzi squeezed out a smile with great difficulty: "This, the wooden house of the three brothers of Zhao Lao is also magnificent, if it weren't for the fact that several groups of people are eyeing this house and are all vying for it...... The house is already occupied...... But now, it's still vacant, and no one dares to rob you if you live in it, right?"

Wu Tie's face twitched, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

The bleak wind and cold rain hit his body, and it took a long, long time for Wu Tie to slowly exhale.

"This is, the four are empty, empty and empty!" Wu Tie looked up at the sky and shook his head speechlessly.
