Due to the Liu clan's tough stance through the overwhelming army, Baoling City was extremely restless in the middle of the night, and the people listened to the sound of the army's assembly and mobilization, panicking. As the state capital and the strongest city in Baoling Prefecture, the large-scale dispatch of the garrison must indicate that something big is happening.

In front of the Wei Mansion, Liu Mingtong looked up at Mu Chen and asked, "You are Lord Mu Chen?" ”

Mu Chen squatted on the beam of the gate, looked at Liu Mingtong carefully, and teased: "It's still your family surnamed Liu who has a big business, and it's only been a day since the money was delivered." But Liu Shisun, you are too timid, do you want to send money to so many people?"

"Lord Mu Chen, under Liu Mingtong, my three thousand iron riders are not just here to send money. ”

As soon as the words fell, the cavalry in front of the palace gate held their hands on the hilt of the sword, and the sound of the collision of the scabbard and the armor became a warning to show strength before using force, and Liu Mingtong faced the threat to Mu Chen.

"Mu... Mu Chen and the Patriarch are back, have you got the money?" Wei Gonglu came out of the hall, and as soon as he approached the gate, he was startled, and there was a row of tall skeleton soldiers standing neatly against the courtyard wall.

Jiayue saw Liu Mingtong threatening, so she summoned the skeleton soldiers, but she was afraid that the appearance of the skeleton soldiers would lead to an escalation of the situation, so she hid them behind the courtyard wall, and if she really made a move, she was confident that she would be able to deal with all the cavalry in a short time.

"Liu Shisun, do you have any common sense in using soldiers, large-scale cavalry battles should be in open plains or hills, this is the city, and it is also on the streets blocked at both ends, if you really fight, at least half of your people will die under the hooves of your horses. ”

"Huh... Young Master Liu, don't be rude, you are a horse and a man, you are dead in front of my door, I can't clean up, aren't you here to pay back, hurry, pay the money quickly. Seeing the return of Mu Chen and his party, Wei Gonglu was no longer cautious and spoke disrespectfully to Liu Mingtong.

"You..." Liu Mingtong held back his anger, remembering his uncle's instructions, this time he was here to show his strength and demonstrate, and it was not yet to the extent that he met each other, and he noticed the change in Qi Luna's position and movements with his spare eyes, if he ordered to attack now, he would be the first to die.

"Give them the spirit stones. The cavalry beside Liu Mingtong untied the two cloth bags from his waist, looked at Wei Gonglu with contempt, and threw them at his feet.

"Girl. ”

Qi Luna jumped behind the cavalry and kicked him under the horse, falling right on the spirit stone bag, Wei Gonglu was startled, and instinctively took two steps back. Chiluna then jumped down, grabbed him by the hair from behind the cavalry, and knelt in front of Wei Gonglu, with the dagger across his neck.

"Pick it up. ”

Seeing that their comrades were attacked, the cavalrymen immediately drew their swords from their waists and prepared to counterattack, but unexpectedly, the horses suddenly stirred, some roared with their hooves on their backs, and some squeezed around on a rampage.

Liu Mingtong subconsciously controlled the war horse, and accidentally saw the white bones on the courtyard wall, so he ordered loudly: "Steady, don't move, stabilize the horses." ”

At the same time, shouts came from all directions: The garrison defending the city has been ordered to surround your troops, and ordered all Liu's cavalry to give up resistance, withdraw from the city immediately, and shoot them on the spot if they resist.

The head of the garrison arrived with the garrison defending the city, and a team of tens of thousands of people surrounded the entire neighborhood, and the ballista archers were in position, waiting for the order to fire.

"Sir General, there is chaos in front of the Guard's Gate, and the courtyard walls and roofs on both sides of the street are covered with layers of white bones, the same as the one that appeared during the infighting among the Wasteland people, and it should have been done by a sister named Jabek. ”

"It's broken... It's bad, if so many people fight in the city, it's really messy, quick, take me over quickly. ”

The head of the garrison department approached and carefully observed the situation, although the skeleton soldiers were numerous and condescending, they were just standing in place, and had no intention of attacking. And because the space is too small, the frightened war horses are ramming and kicking indiscriminately, which is the cause of chaos.

It took a long time for the cavalry to stabilize their horses, but one person had already been trampled to death and a dozen wounded. Liu Mingtong looked around, knowing that they couldn't deal with the demonic beasts from the wasteland, and he also knew that the outside was full of people from the Garrison Division, so he chose to retreat while there was still room to return.

"Wait, Liu Shisun, this is leaving. Mu Chen squatted on the door beam during the whole process, observing everything from top to bottom.

"What else do you want. Liu Mingtong replied with his head tilted.

"Girl, let him go. Liu Shisun, you personally dismount and pick up the spirit stone and hand it over to Lord Wei. ”

"You..."

"I'm telling you, this is your last chance, and if you don't, let all three thousand cavalry die here tonight. ”

As the last few words blurted out, the skeleton soldiers standing on the courtyard wall and roof raised their knives, and also made threatening sounds, but Liu Mingtong showed weakness, he hesitated for a few seconds, turned over and dismounted, picked up the spirit stone bag, and handed it to Wei Gonglu.

"Release. Jiayue followed Mu Chen's instructions and recalled the skeleton soldiers.

When the garrisons on the outskirts saw that the cavalry had turned their horses, they tightened the encirclement and ordered them all to dismount and "escort" them out of the city in two parallel columns.

When he arrived at the South City Gate, the guards who let him go were tied up and knelt outside the door, and behind him was the executioner with a butcher's knife, who looked up at Liu Mingtong without love, and then his head was cut off, and blood was pouring out.

Another group of cavalry who went to find the lord of the ghoul's tomb was also "escorted" out, and they made peace with Liu Mingtong and informed them of the negotiations, although the lord promised to sell the land to them, but offered a thousand spirit stones, and would receive the money tomorrow, otherwise the matter would not be discussed again.

The lord's family strayed into the ghoul tomb late at night because they got lost in the forest, and happened to meet Qiluna, who was running around the lair of major demonic beasts in order to collect spirit stones.

Since then, the lord has enshrined the Patriarch as a life-saving benefactor, and has respected her very much, and he has sided with Qiluna in the matter of the passage of the wings of the Ming Village and the relocation of the Spirit Clan, but he is weak, and no one cares about his voice.

In the face of the pressure of the Liu family, he deliberately made things difficult by asking for a sky-high price, and clearly told Liu Mingtong his position, so that he could stop thinking as soon as possible.

Liu Mingtong was first humiliated in the city, and now he was troubled by a small lord, so he angrily led most of the men and horses back to the villages and towns around the tomb, and he was going to force everyone to sign tonight and sell all the wings to their Liu family.

Calm gradually returned to Baoling City, and the director of the garrison department learned about the situation from Wei Gonglu, so he went back to the council to resume his life, leaving a team of soldiers to temporarily guard the guard house tonight.

"Lord Wei, shouldn't the money bag be returned to Mu Chen?"

"Oh, if Miss Jiayue doesn't remind me, I'll forget. ”

"You can take it, there are many places to use the money. ”

"Mu Chen, that's thirty spirit stones, thirty. The sisters shouted out the number almost at the same time.

"Yes, this is too much, the old man doesn't dare to accept it. ”

"Otherwise, you send someone to rebuild the tomb of Erniu and his father, and stop throwing money into it, so that their father and son will not be disturbed and rest in peace. ”

"Mu Chen, I want to go see Erniu tomorrow. Since Jiayue woke up, Mu Chen has been troubled, and it was just this opportunity that she said what she thought about Erniu in her heart.

"Go ahead, let Junyue accompany you. Wei Gonglu, you can arrange it. ”

After confirming the two sisters' itinerary for tomorrow, Mu Chen took Wei Gonglu and Keke back to the room.

"Any news?"

"As you expected, the Liu family is selling land on a large scale, and the powerful nobles in the state are gathered in the city, and the news has been released, but no one has responded yet. The people we sent are in contact with the Liu family, and they will be able to sign a contract tomorrow to buy it. ”

"Where's Thowing, did they do it?"

Liu Mingtong, who had just been driven out of the city, came for Touyi, he wanted the villagers to exchange Touyi for their Liu family's land, and he also went to the local lord to buy the territory, but the lord had always been friendly with the old man and refused. ”

"Okay, we will buy as much land as he sells, and as for the penetrating wings, we will not come forward, and we can monitor them at any time. After explaining this, Mu Chen paused, and then asked, "I heard that the black market is on fire, whose territory is there?"

"The border buffer zone doesn't belong to anyone, it's under the jurisdiction of the House of Parliament, but it's sparsely populated, it's all Gobi, and no one cares about it. ”

"Aren't those two supervisors appointed by the small city lord?"

"It's a title that is bought with money, and there is no post of supervisor in Baoling Prefecture. The black market is able to do business with the wasteland people, and it has gathered some popularity, but after this fire, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make a comeback. ”

"Is there a way to control there?"

"It's not difficult, but it requires the old lord's nod. Mu Chen, what are we doing there?"

"For the spirits to live in. ”

"It's... The land is barren and doesn't produce any crops, what do they live on, and it's connected to the wasteland, and the wastelanders come and go frequently, can they protect themselves?"

Coco didn't know what the black market looked like, so it can be seen that Wei Gonglu couldn't help but worry when he said this.

"Qiming Village will definitely not be able to go with the current situation, even if the nobles bow their heads, the people will not accept it. It's better to arrange them in the black market, the environment is a little evil, but after all, it is the land of humans, and you can slowly come into contact with humans, as for the wastelanders, don't worry, I have stayed in that place, they will not be embarrassed by the spirit race. ”

"Okay, then I'll find a way to solve the problem of usufruction. ”

"Coco, you have to be ready, and when Lord Wei finishes this matter, you will go back and inform your grandfather to relocate. ”

Keke was still a little hesitant, but in the face of Mu Chen's firm eyes, she chose to believe it, so she replied with an oath: "Lord Mu Chen, Lord Wei, please rest assured, our Spirit Clan can survive any kind of tribulation, and we will never disappoint your kindness." ”

The three of them discussed in detail the rebuilding of the black market and the route of the spirit race's migration, and did not disperse until the second half of the night.
