Chapter Twenty-Four: The Nail Household

Last night, he had been testing his sword outside the city, and it was only at dawn that he climbed the city wall and returned to the city.

Several soldiers who were inspecting the city wall hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted when they saw him, "General." ”

"Hmm"

Meng Yun patted the shoulder of the leader of the army, and then walked in the direction of the city tower by himself, several soldiers were talking behind his back, "The general is so young", "I seem to see the general turned up from outside the city", "What are you going to do outside the city......

"Be careful when you speak in the future, you don't need to worry about the general's work," Wu Chang said coldly to several soldiers under his command, "Remember, if it weren't for the general, your family would have starved to death and froze to death." ”

"Hmm, wasn't the control decree issued by the county guard," one of the recruits wondered.

"The humming decree is the work of the general, and the vitality of the city is also the work of the general," said the commander again.

"It's rumored outside that it's the county keeper."

"Huh, when the time comes, he has the courage to stand at the head of the city."

......

With his current cultivation, all physical qualities are far better than before, including perception ability.

Dozens of steps away, the conversation of a few soldiers naturally couldn't hide from him, but he didn't care, the recruits and the people in the city rarely knew about his existence, and his speech was obviously biased towards his commander, who should be a veteran who survived the siege.

It is not surprising that he formulated the war control decree, but it was not he who implemented it.

Everything he has done these days is a bit like an ancient change, but it is not a change, he just sets the standards that the people and soldiers need to follow under the conditions of war.

The original intention was to alleviate the hunger crisis and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

The superstructure determines the economic base, and both Ji and Jingmi support him in taking power to fight against barbarian invasions.

The rulers at the top did not object, and the people below would naturally do the same, so there was no need for him to come forward and stand up.

The war control decree did harm the interests of some big families, but now is not a time of peace, and he has no time to grind with these people, and if he does not comply with the law, he will wait to be cleaned up.

......

In the gatehouse, several soldiers were cleaning up the water on the ground, and Kami and his two scribes were talking in a low voice.

"Okay, don't talk about it, hurry up and take someone to pull food, and pull enough rations for half a month," Meng Yun turned his head and shouted at Jing Jian when he entered the door.

At this moment, the soldiers saluted him in unison when they saw him come in, and Jing Jian also waved his hand to signal the two scribes to step back, "Brother Yun's cultivation is diligent, it's really gratifying." ”

"If it's useless, you just pull the grain back, and don't leave a grain behind," Meng Yun walked over to the stove and poured himself a cup of hot water.

"What about the garrison and slaves?" said Jingjian with a frown.

"In two days, I will go and get all the slaves back, and you can just boldly go back," Meng Yun added after speaking, "But you don't make a noise about this matter first, so as not to cause people's hearts to fluctuate." ”

"There's too much food, and it's not going to be delivered in three or five days," Kami said.

"This is not in a hurry, but you can't grind it, you don't know the food situation in the city," Meng Yun said again.

At this moment, a soldier brought a small pot of rice porridge, and Jing Jian beckoned to the soldier, "Okay, I'll eat some rice porridge and go on the road." ”

Seeing this, Meng Yun stuffed the water cup to Jing Jian, turned around and took a sip of rice porridge first, "What else do you eat, bring some dry food to eat on the way." ”

“......”

After getting rid of Jingjian, I found a few more clerks who were on duty last night.

"Guan Chengzi and the scouts sent out, haven't there been any news back?" Meng Yun put down the empty rice porridge basin, lowered his head and wiped his mouth.

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads, and the clerk of the West City Gate spoke, "There has been no news from the general. ”

At this moment, the clerk of the South City Gate suddenly spoke, "General, at the third watch last night, there was a person who claimed to be from Yehuling and sent a message,"

"Oh, what kind of message?" Meng Yun said, raising his eyebrows.

"It was said that in five days, a shipment of food would arrive," replied the clerk.

"What about people?" Meng Yun asked again.

"After saying that, the person left, as if he had come and gone without a trace," the second monk of the clerk was puzzled.

"This news is very important, remember to remind me once a day," Meng Yun thought for a moment and then said, the messenger might be a monster.

When Guan Chengzi left, he took a letter from the turtle master.

This letter is sent to the monster in charge of Yehuling, and the main content is to let Yehuling give Guanchengzi a certain convenience, and don't be embarrassed when the time comes, and the food team will pass by.

From Heishui City to the border of Xia Kingdom, it takes about ten days, and Guan Chengzi has only set off for less than nine days, and it takes a long time to go back and forth, even if you negotiate with people, the food is not transported back so quickly.

This batch of grain may have been raised by Yehuling, and the turtle master and the scalper demon and Sanniang were kind first, with Sanniang's intelligence, it was not surprising that the other party did this.

After sending away a few clerks, Master Turtle slipped in again.

The guards in front of the door all know it, so naturally they will not block it.

"Bastard boy, these two things are for you," Master Turtle took out two small objects and put them on the table.

"Huh?" After Meng Yun heard the voice of the turtle master, his gaze withdrew from the huge map on the north wall.

"The stone bead is the spiritual guide of the Emperor, if you have something, you can crush it, as long as it is within a hundred miles, it can be reached in an instant," the turtle master said, pointing to a nail-sized bead on the table.

Meng Yun nodded and put away the beads, and looked at another small object, "The bottle seems to be a little familiar." ”

"The water left by the little girl in the Ice Palace is a spiritual energy elixir, you have to thank me for being prescient," the turtle master grinned.

"Qingyi?" "At the beginning, for this matter, he was still angry with the turtle master, "You can be promoted to the Great Witch after eating?"

"Think beautiful," the turtle master rolled his eyes at him and said, "It takes a huge amount of aura to accumulate a huge amount of aura from the witch to the great witch, and this pill can save you five years of qi cultivation time, be content." ”

"Under normal circumstances, how long does it take to go from the upper witch to the great witch?" Meng Yun asked again.

"At least thirty years, or at most a lifetime without drama," Master Turtle said.

"So long?" Meng Yun pursed his lips and said, "Qingyi seems to be in her early twenties. ”

"She's been like that for a thousand years, do you compare with her?" Master Turtle had an urge to knock on his head, "I'll leave if it's okay, during this period of time, I and Er will live on the East Mountain, and we will be called with a stone ball if we have something." ”

"What kind of aura is the most powerful of the Five Elements Aura?" Meng Yun stuffed the jade bottle on the table into his arms.

"It's hard to say, the five elements are mutually reinforcing," the turtle master shook his head and said.

"Which of the five elements spell is the most powerful?" he said again.

"If it's a spell, it should be an earth spell, followed by fire and water," said the turtle master.

"Why not metal?" In his opinion, metal should be the strongest, hard and sharp, indestructible.

"Isn't it stupid? Is it gold or fire all over the world?" said the turtle master as if knocking on his head.

The implication of the turtle master is that the aura is not a physical illusion, but it is closely related to the physical object, such as the wood aura can give birth to wood things, the metal aura can control various metals, the earth aura can change the mountains and rivers, the water aura can condense three water forms, and the fire aura can release fire.

Meng Yun nodded and asked, "What's going on with the Wizard Twin Bloodline?"

"Serendipity, one in ten thousand," said Master Turtle.

"Are there more than three bloodlines?" Meng Yun asked.

"As far as I know, the bloodlines can't coexist, and the bloodlines can only coexist," the turtle master shook his head and said, "For example, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold." ”

"Okay, I know, you go and do your business," Meng Yun said with a wave of his hand.

"How's the Ice Cold Sword Qi training?"

"Powerful, no matching moves"

......

During the day, he would inspect the training of the county garrison, and when he had time, he would also go to the smelter, and occasionally inspect the security of the city.

These three things were originally in charge of him, the big fat man county guard, and Jing Jian, plus the three lieutenant generals he sent to assist, but this morning Jing Jian was sent away by him to transport grain, and there was only one lieutenant named Xuan left in the city.

At noon, after coming out of the training ground at the north gate, he wandered around the city, but not aimlessly, he wanted to see if there were any displaced people in the streets.

Blackwater City is less than one-third the size of the current small county town, but it is not something that can be completed in a day, and the main object of his inspection is the street near several large households in the city.

After walking around Beicheng District for less than half an hour, Deputy General Xuan heard that he was here for inspection, and it didn't take long for him to come over.

The two of them were talking without a match, followed by a dozen soldiers, but these soldiers were not brought by him.

With his current cultivation, if he can't protect himself, even if he has twenty more soldiers, it will be almost useless.

As soon as they turned a corner, they heard a quarrel between a grandfather and a woman.

"Get Out"

"Female baby, take pity on our grandchildren"

"Phew, look at your dirty bears"

......

At this point in time, the people in the city were in the armory workshop or the back mountain mine, and there was no one on almost every street.

Even if there were people, old people and children who were not within the working age range, and of course there might be homeless people who did not have a house to live in, but he had not found a single one so far.

"Is this woman over fifty-five years old?" Meng Yun said, pointing to the scolding woman.

"Well, that's not it, but she," Vice Admiral said after a pause.

"What's wrong with her?," Meng Yun interrupted without waiting for Vice Admiral to finish, of course he could see that this woman was only about forty years old.

Meng Yun saw that Vice Admiral Jian bowed his head and remained silent, so he continued to walk, shouting at the woman as he went, "What's the matter with you?

After hearing his voice, the woman turned her head to look at him, nibbling on a green-skinned melon in the shape of a cucumber, "Hmph, the old lady just doesn't let these homeless people enter the door, what can you do to me?"

"Uncle, who are you?" This woman is a shrew, who catches and scolds whom.

"General, she's the younger sister of the county guard," Vice Admiral reminded him in a whisper behind him.

"Sister, I don't care whose sister you are," Meng Yun frowned when he heard this, not only did he not sell the right face, but on the contrary, he also said loudly, "According to the control decree, what should I do if I don't obey the dispatch?"

"Depending on whether the circumstances are serious or not, the punishment is 40 rods at the least, and the death penalty is at the worst," said the deputy general, whose face was as if he had eaten a fly.

The woman was so angry that she trembled, and continued to play tricks, "You still dare to beat me, your mother is dead, and your whole family is ......."

"What extent is this?" Meng Yun frowned and continued to ask.

"If there is no death, she should be given a light punishment, but she is," replied Admiral Lieutenant.

"What is she? Laws are meant to be obeyed, do you want me to do it myself?" Meng Yun's voice suddenly turned cold, and at the same time, the temperature around him plummeted as he used his aura, and he was thinking about removing this lieutenant general later.

"My subordinates know that they are wrong, so I will do it," Vice Admiral Wei hurriedly bowed to him with his fists in apology.

Meng Yun snorted coldly and stepped forward, helped up the old man who was pushed to the ground, and touched the little head of the scared crying child, "Little guy, where are your parents?"

"Little Lao'er returns to the general, my son died in battle a few days ago, and my daughter-in-law has already died on the way to escape."

......

While he was talking to the old man, there was the frightened shouts of shrews and the shouts of soldiers in front of him.

"Bastard, let go of the old lady, what do you want to do?"

"Catch her!"

"Bang"

"Ouch"

"Bang"

"The old lady is not finished with you......"
