Chapter 56: The Border City (3)
Ji Fa's thoughts suddenly returned to reality, and he found that he was still in the cultivation space, and he was continuing to cultivate, Ji Fa came back to his senses, it turned out that his consciousness, when he was just cultivating, he was wandering in space again, the last time he was in those building blocks, and this time he flew directly into the universe.
Ji Fa used his divine sense to check the situation in his body, and found that there was no change in his body, the only thing that changed was that the aura in his body began to flow faster again, and he began to notice the place where the aura was blocked before, which would be opened and enlarged by the aura, Ji Fa felt very surprised, and then he checked his body and found that it was true, all the places where the aura was blocked before, this would all be unblocked, and it seemed to be chiseled apart by the aura little by little, and then the aura continued to surge, flowing through these strange meridians and eight veins in the body, Then it ran into the dantian.
Ji Fa saw that his cultivation was almost over, and returned to the room of the Reality Post House, just at this time the door was opened.
General Zhu walked up to Ji Fa with an apologetic face, and Ji Fa saw that he had a difficult face, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, did you buy all the grain and grass you bought?" ”
"The last general of the king was ordered to go to purchase grain and grass, but what I didn't expect was that the people of the Xia Wang clan insisted that there was no surplus food in their own family, so the last general touched his nose and came out, and then the law of my country restricts me from staying in the people's homes for longer, otherwise I will be punished, so I will retreat, hurry up and tell the king." General Zhu looked helpless.
"Damn, I should have thought that it wasn't so simple, I thought it would go well, and I paid for their family's surplus food, since they didn't give face, then don't blame yourself for being polite." Ji said angrily.
"General Zhu, you are bound by the law, but I am a king, and I am not subject to that restriction, I order you to lead a hundred soldiers, follow me to the Xia Wang's house, bring two military chariot cages, and go with me."
"Oh King."
Zhu Wanyue was very happy, he understood that the king was trying to help him find a place, so he immediately went to select a hundred strong soldiers, and then after a while, they lined up neatly, and after he and the monarch rode on the horse, the two of them rushed to the Xia Wang clan's house.
In the family of the Xia Wang clan.
"Hahaha, if you want me to say that this General Zhu is stupid enough, he won't say a word, and let our patriarch run away, it's really a joke."
"Hahaha."
The people of the Xia Wang clan were all gathered in the courtyard at this moment, laughing at each other about what had just happened, and the old patriarch of the Xia Wang clan in the central group laughed.
"Hahaha, as soon as this general came just now, I understood his intentions, his subordinates carried two big boxes in the back, obviously to buy our grain, can this grain be sold as soon as it is said? How can it be so simple? What is grain and grass? Catch up with the year of famine and the harvest is not good, that is human life, just a little food, can save a person's life, fools only sell, what gold, silver, currency, all have no food to use. Only with food can we have everything, and at that time, we can buy whatever we want, and no one can control it. ”
The family members of the Xia Wang clan all nodded at this moment, agreeing with what the patriarch said just now, their Xia Wang clan has lasted for so many years, and they can endure for a long time, and it is inseparable from this storage of grain and grass.
"Report ~ Patriarch, King... led General Zhu to rush over. ”
"Ahh After hearing this news, the people of the Xia Wang clan stood up in shock, and then looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and discussing one after another.
"What should I do, this..."
"If the king of Zhou wants to buy grain and grass, will we give it to us?"
"If he doesn't give it, what will he do if he moves his troops, he can be followed by a hundred soldiers."
"Hmph, everything is quiet." The old patriarch made everyone shut up with a single word.
"What is the king of Zhou afraid of? I think that we were also members of the royal family back then, and we are all descendants of the royal family, and we are afraid that he will not become the king of the vassal state? Think about how many princes and lords of our Xia Kingdom worshipped back then, and just a king of the Zhou Kingdom, it scared you like this, and you didn't talk much, let me say, you all just look at it, I don't believe that he Ji Fa has an extra eye, or an extra head. The clansmen of the Xia Wang clan nodded one after another, and their hearts were instantly unpanicked.
"Yes, yes, listen to the old patriarch." The people of the Xia Wang clan said one after another.
So they split into two rows and prepared to welcome the arrival of Ji Fa and General Zhu.
"When you get to the king, this is the Xia Wang clan's house."
"Dismount and follow me into the Xia Wang clan's house."
"Oh King."
Ji Fa and General Zhu were both wearing long swords at their waists, and they were about to enter the Xia Wang clan's house directly, but they didn't expect a few private soldiers guarding the door to stop them.
"The king of the bold Zhou Kingdom is here, don't hurry up and bow down." Zhu Wanyue scolded.
Several of the private soldiers looked at each other, then knelt down to Ji Fa, and then stood up again to stop them from entering.
"A few bold thieves, since they know that the king is coming, why do they dare to stop them?"
Several private soldiers laughed and said: "King, our family used to be a royal family, and it stands to reason that we are the same as you, we have finished the salute just now, and now you are the same as us, wait for us to report the patriarch, and then come to open the door for you." ”
Zhu Wanyue was speechless for a while, he didn't expect this group of private soldiers to be so discerning.
Ji Fa snorted coldly and said, "Don't be so troublesome. ”
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the saber was drawn and fell back into its scabbard, and in an instant the head of a private soldier fell to the ground. Suddenly, several other private soldiers were so frightened that they quickly opened the door, knelt to the side, and did not dare to speak again.
Ji Fa saw the door open, and walked in with great strides, Zhu Wanyue was stunned for the first time He felt Ji Fa's domineering, this is completely different from the momentum on the battlefield, he led the troops to follow Ji Fa up, this is a kind of king's momentum, who blocks and kills whom, who stops and kills whom, and is indomitable and domineering.
Soon after this news, a private soldier hurriedly ran over and whispered in the ear of the old patriarch.
The old patriarch frowned: "What? How dare you do this... This really doesn't look like the demeanor of a king, how can he kill people directly. ”
The old patriarch saw Ji Fa and General Zhu rushing in with their troops, and stood up just about to ask for guilt.
Unexpectedly, Ji Fa directly ordered the soldiers to draw their weapons and prepare to attack here.
The old patriarch was shocked and hurriedly said: "We are the people of the Zhou Kingdom, not traitors, why do you want to kill us." ”
"Since I admit that I am the people of the Great Zhou, why don't you bow down when you see this king, you must be a chaotic minister and thief, and all the people who come will be killed and the people will be eliminated."
"Oh King." The soldiers raised their weapons and were about to stab at the Xia Wang clan in the courtyard.
Frightened, the Xia Wang clan quickly knelt down, and hurriedly shouted for mercy, the old patriarch did not have the momentum to ask the teacher just now, so he had to kneel down, and the Xia Wang clan all kowtowed to Ji Fa a few times.
"Kneel, don't get up, the lonely king learned that there is surplus grain stored in your home, and now the people in the border city are starving, and the attack of the dog Rong people has just been repelled outside the city, it is when the grain and grass are scarce, this king funds to buy grain and grass for the soldiers who defend the city, and the money is in these two big boxes, where is the grain and grass, I will directly send the soldiers to move away." Ji Fa said directly.
The old patriarch of the Xia Wang clan knelt on the ground, his eyes rolled, so he said: "King, it's not that we don't want to sell grain and grass, it's really that our grain is about to run out this year, and I hope that the king will give us a little charity, the king is the king of the Zhou country, and he won't even give us such a little food from the Xia Wang clan, in that case, it's not as good as our previous Xia country." ”
"Hahaha." The people of the Xia Wang clan burst into laughter.
"Dare to laugh at the king, those people, you go up and slap them."
"It's the general." A few soldiers rushed over directly, facing a few people from the Xia Wang clan, they slapped it fiercely, and then kept pumping the fan back and forth, and the people of the Xia Wang clan saw the soldiers, all of them were fierce and vicious, and they didn't dare to say a word, silently endured the slap, hit them straight to the Venus, and beat them into a daze.
In an instant, the people of the Xia Wang clan didn't dare to laugh anymore, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly lay on the ground, not daring to look at Ji Fa, Zhu Wanyue and those soldiers, for fear that they would also be slapped by them, so it would be miserable.
Ji Fa sneered when he heard this: "Search for me." ”
Under Ji Fa's order, the soldiers rushed into the backyard of the Xia Wang clan one after another, and began to search room by room, room by room, according to Ji Fa's assumption, there was nothing to find in the house, but Ji Fa's purpose was not in this, but another meaning, after a while, the soldiers all came back, but came out with gold, silver and jewelry, and the people of the Xia Wang clan were shocked.
"What do you mean, my lord, that why do you take our treasure? Don't you think that's a loss of prestige? The old patriarch said angrily,
"No, the Lone King still wants to thank you, you thank the soldiers of my Zhou Kingdom for fighting with the Dog Rong people outside the city and saving your lives, and voluntarily thank us for wanting to give all their family wealth to support our soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom, right? Thank you so much, and the king will surely tell the people of the border city about your merits. Ji Fa said.
"Nonsense, we don't want to, you are clearly robbing us of our wealth." A person from the Xia Wang clan couldn't help but say.
The old patriarch frowned and bowed his head and thought, "Damn it... Stupid guy, how can you say this at this time, it's a big rebellion, hey, you don't want to die. ”
"Take it, cut it." Ji Fa said coldly.
"King Not." Zhu Wanyue came to the people of the Xia Wang clan just now, drew his long sword, and with a flash of cold light, his head fell off and kept rolling down on the ground.
The other people of the Xia Wang clan were frightened, they knelt on the ground one after another, they didn't dare to say a word, they were all stupid, they originally wanted to skin a few times, and the monarch of the Zhou State to fight with the monarch, to show their prestige, and the glory of their Xia Wang clan back then, what they didn't expect was that Ji Fa didn't play cards according to the routine at all, didn't follow the rules at all, and didn't stick to the old etiquette, and acted so decisively that they were caught off guard, and they could only be swords and I was fish.
The old patriarch hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy and said: "The king, you are angry, the king, you are angry, it is this patriarch who owes discipline, does not know how to follow etiquette, you cut well, you cut well, he deserves this fate, please put out your anger, don't vent your anger on other people,"
"Yes, right now, all of your people can't escape, so let's kill them all."
Some of the people of the Xia Wang clan were directly frightened and fainted, while some were so frightened that they peed their pants directly, and some were trembling and didn't know what to do for a while.
The old patriarch had no choice but to endure the pain and said: "King, we are willing to exchange the stored grain for the lives of the whole clan." ”
Ji said with a smile: "Old patriarch, I'm afraid you're dizzy, did you just say that there is no food and grass?" Why is there again now? It is a capital offense to deceive the Lone King. ”
"There are some that were left to us by the ancestors, and they could not be taken out until the year of the famine, but now the situation is critical, so we can't take care of so much, and the grain and grass are buried in the ground in the middle of the backyard, and you can see it by digging three feet of soil down." The old patriarch hurriedly explained, lest Ji Fa would not obey his words and kill the entire clan.
Ji Fa sneered: "Go, dig up the place where they said to hide the grain, and then carry them all away." ”
Zhu Wanyue led the soldiers to the location of the backyard that the old patriarch said, and after digging it out, a large amount of grain was found in the ground, and then the soldiers worked together, took out all the grain, and then began to run and load the car. Their confidence is now gone, and they are all paralyzed and collapsed, as if they have been drained of their souls.
The old patriarch couldn't hold back his anger anymore, got up and rushed over, and the people of the Xia Wang clan pulled desperately, but to no avail, the old patriarch rushed over and beat a soldier.
Ji was angry and said, "What are you going to do to take it for me, and send it to the cage car with his son." ”
The old patriarch and his son were tied up like this and sent to the car, the old patriarch was very remorseful, he didn't expect that his impulse would affect his son, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "The king, I was wrong, I was confused for a while, the king has nothing to do with my son, you let him go, the king." ”
