(People from foreign countries really have different skills.) ）

Whether it is Hogg, Defiah, or those sergeants who came to help from behind, in Zhang Yuankong's eyes, they are only like chickens and dogs, second- and third-level spells, fourth- and fifth-level strength, that is, to oppress the people who have no fists and no bravery, if Zhang Yuankong ends, one person will be enough to sweep away all these Zoroastrians.

However, this does not mean that he will be bored when he is watching, although they are weak, these people have shown many changes that are completely different from the martial arts techniques of Great Xia, which makes Zhang Yuankong look at them with relish.

During the war, these people who had raided the Huo family's shop before reacted very differently. Led by Ma Shuban, a few dressed as if they were people in the yamen, one was faster than the other, stumbling and rolling, and out of conflict--- but they did not forget their duties, and as soon as they rushed into the street, they began to howl loudly: "Cult...... There are cultists! "The voice was like killing a pig.

The reaction of several people, led by Defiya, was very different.

"Heresy...... For the fraternity! With a roar, Nadiphia's figure turned into two, and in a flash, another figure flashed behind Hogg, and the dagger was unsheathed and stabbed down!

"Boom!"

The gold and iron struck exactly, deafening, almost at the same time as Defia's doppelganger shot, Hogg's body was full of orange light, and the air on his side writhed, and a monster appeared out of thin air: a wolf's head and a human body, blue eyes like a lamp, saliva dripping from his mouth, fishy and unpleasant, holding a large-headed club in his hand, and I don't know how much flesh and blood had been stained on it, which had become a dark color. It's strange to say that this monster is obviously one step away from Hogg, but as soon as it appears, the eyes of Defia's clone who has flashed behind Hogg actually show fear.

"You're ...... It's an orange-level spell! ”

In the exclamation, it was clear that the dagger had cut through the clothes behind Hogg, but it seemed to be affected by some irresistible force, Defiya's doppelganger couldn't help but scream and twisted his body violently, stabbing the dagger at the wolf-headed monster that had just appeared, the speed was so fast, the strength was so great, although Zhang Yuankong was standing in the distance, he seemed to hear the sound of his arm bones breaking when he was broken!

With a "poof", the dagger pierced into the wolf-headed man's body, and at the same time, the wolf-headed man backhanded, and the big stick fell, instantly smashing the doppelganger into a ball of flesh and blood!

The doppelganger was destroyed, and Defia seemed to have been hit hard, and when his body stiffened, Hogg raised his hand--- and he didn't know when he had already grasped a giant axe, and when his head fell, he was instantly cut into two pieces!

Defia died, but it did not frighten the other Zoroastrians who came with him, "Heretic! "Kill the infidels!" At the sound of the roar, they rushed forward and slashed at them, but Hogg, who had no scruples, was much stronger than them, and with a swing of his great axe, he dismembered them in a few strokes.

…… But, by this time, the first sergeants had already arrived.

(It's coming quickly.) ）

I had noticed this patrol team before, and the time between the time the Ma Shuban fled into the street and started shouting "cultists" and their arrival was only half the time they took to leave here, considering that they were still wearing light armor and holding long spears and short swords, such a reaction speed was really fast.

"Heresy!"

When they saw Hogg's appearance, their eyes turned red as if they were bloodshot, and they roared angrily, and rushed forward in formation.

"Lift the shield!"

Or perhaps because the Zoroastrian religion was so sensitive to the word "heresy" that it was only a little later than the soldiers, and others had already arrived. While these soldiers rushed forward, someone behind them chanted loudly, and suddenly saw the white light on the bodies of the two spearmen flashing, and two huge tower shields appeared, covering their whole bodies.

(Sun Taoist?) ）

Recognized at a glance, this is Mu Hu He Lu, who had a relationship in Hongmen Pass, this person did not make a direct move that night, but just a blessing spell made three ordinary soldiers have the ability to engage in the true transmission of Shenxiao in a short period of time, with this hand alone, Zhang Yuankong did not dare to underestimate him.

"Mu Hu Ho Lu ......"

The voice was almost like the roar of a beast, and Hogg's eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily, "Neither will you give people a way to live...... Then let's die together! ”

Although he spoke majesticly, Mu Hu He Lu stood far behind, and did not step forward at all, but kept casting various auxiliary spells, and after a while, those ordinary soldiers were all wearing shields and lights, and their combat power was doubled, Hogg roared again and again, and more than a dozen wolf-headed people were continuously summoned around him, but the Yisi Ba Xi army rushed to support him in the end, surrounding him in the middle, and the two sides were deadlocked, and they were helpless for a while.

“…… Heterodox. ”

Suddenly, a third voice appeared, indifferent and old, but as soon as he heard this voice, the morale of all the sergeants in the field was greatly boosted!

"Master."

"Master!"

(This is Suluch?) The head of Zoroastrianism? ）

His eyes flickered slightly, but he couldn't see where the other party was hiding, only heard the voice continue: "...... To die for Ahura is the glory of you! As he spoke, the two soldiers in the field suddenly snorted, their facial features burst out with blood, followed by blazing flames gushing out of the pores around their bodies, this change happened suddenly, not hurting Hogg, but first burning a lot of comrades around him.

"Heretic, die!"

In five words, the skin and flesh of the two soldiers have been completely swallowed by the firelight, and they can only vaguely be seen to be two skeletons in armor, standing in the sea of fire, and when the five words are finished, the fire is suddenly closed, and then, with a hundredfold blazing momentum, it swells wildly!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That's it, all of them were burned to death, the owners of the Huo family's shops, the besieging soldiers, and a lot of other storefronts around burned to nothing."

"Oh, it's normal, that old fellow of Suluchi, as soon as he encounters something related to heretics, he will go crazy, and he would rather burn three thousand by mistake than put one person by mistake...... That's his favorite thing to say! ”

Saying that he didn't care, Zhang was snorting barefoot and snorting and snorting the refreshments, and his appearance was so rude that Zhang Yuankong didn't want to admit that he came with him.

At that time, he was wearing a plain clothes and his mouth open, mixing with a group of people in a missionary circle, and then, he was beaten by a group of officials who suddenly rushed out from the corner of the street to cry for his father and mother, and fled in all directions.

I really couldn't look at it, so I quietly took action and rescued Zhang Barefoot, and then I learned that the name of those missionaries just now was "Dongdi Lightning", which was a sect popular among the local Xia people in Yuanzhou.

"Really, these guys who can't afford to lose......"

Muttering indignantly, Zhang said barefoot, "Isn't it the same thing to worship God and build a cross, and then declare that his head is the daughter of God?"

"The same God, they can worship, but others can't? How domineering? ”

I vaguely understood that the Jingjiao sect seemed to regard this sect called Dongdi Lightning as a thorn in the flesh, and announced that they had blasphemed their faith in the Lord, and that any loyal believers should go all out to report and crack down on this sect, and also went through the door of the government and declared it a cult. But they have quite tenacious vitality, and despite repeated blows, they still survived tenaciously.

"I'm telling you, they teach this...... Okay very! ”

As he spoke, his saliva was about to flow, and Zhang Barefoot introduced that the most famous thing about the lightning in the East was their leader, the person who called himself a "female Christ".

"Beauty...... People who have heard it say, "That's really a beautiful woman!" ”

The most famous missionary style of the Eastern Land Lightning is that there are many women among the missionaries, and they are willing to give in the flesh...... This is also a well-known mystery group in the local sect of Wurong, and many sect leaders of small and medium-sized sects want to know, how did they train and ensure so many loyal female believers?

"Okay, okay, I don't care about that."

Waving his hand uninterestedly, Zhang Yuankong said, everyone is always in the same sect, and they can't help but save when they see it. But if Zhang Barefoot keeps messing around like this, sooner or later something will happen.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you."

Briefly telling Zhang Barefoot what he saw just now, Zhang Yuankong always felt strange: that Huo family's shop looks like an ordinary façade, what value can make a family like the Wang family tempted to seek it? And...... This store is located in the Zoroastrian gathering area, and they are walking the door of Pu Shou Geng, but ...... There are obviously a large gathering areas of Xia people and giant merchants in Wurong City, and they are really not afraid of many things in the future if they put their roots on the land of Yiren like this?

"This ......"

Halfway through this, Zhang Barefoot laughed.

"Da Zhenren, you think too much, you really think too much."

"Turning to the Xia people for help? For so many years, it was originally the Lin Liu family who had always blocked the Wang family outside of Wurong and didn't give them any chance! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For a long time, the imperial court's control of Yuan Nan, especially the great families around Wurong, was quite different from that of other regions.

There have always been people in the court who are worried or disgusted by the Bafang Yi people gathered here, especially those who attach the most importance to the "difference between Yixia", but the huge benefits brought by the Yi people ensure that the court is reluctant to remove them, and the connections accumulated over the years also make them not completely silent in the court.

"But on the whole, the lords and adults above are still worried."

For this reason, the imperial court still used the traditional fetters to give the local Xia family represented by the surname Lin Liu with greater power and more space, and to ensure that there was always a huge conflict between them and the commercial interests of the Yi people, and so that the Yi people could not directly establish contact with the cultivators and weavers.

"At the beginning, the imperial court established the 'foreign bank' system, a total of thirteen, silk tea porcelain produced in Xiadi, Yi people can not directly purchase, must go through these thirteen foreign companies to purchase."

The first to advocate the establishment of this system was the first head of the Pu family, Pu Shou Geng, at that time, Yi Shang controlled almost all the overseas channels, but he tried his best to disagree and persuaded the major Yi merchants to rather tie their hands and feet, but also to establish this foreign system.

"Of course, actually, they weren't the ones who were tied up to death."

The first batch of foreign business licenses were finally determined to be distributed according to the proportion of Yi eight Xia Wu--- no one will be surprised, the first few big Yi businessmen who stood up to support Pu Shou Geng, all of them independently won a foreign bank, and those small and medium-sized Yi businessmen who did not even have the qualifications to participate in the shares, have been completely suppressed since then, and many merchants who were originally only one step or even half a step away from the big commercial houses have sunk and have never been able to turn over.

"So, Hogg ......?"

"That's right."

Nodding, Zhang Barefoot told Zhang Yuankong that the ancestor of the Hogg family was one of the first Dayi merchants to stand beside the Pu family, and this foreign company's license was also their family's most valuable asset. For many years, although their family has been going downhill, this license has had to be invested and divided by countless people, but the name of the "Huo family" is still written on the plaque of the foreign bank, and two of the best thirty berths in the port are always under the name of their family.

"You see, they are all rich enough to be rich for the cult!"

After saying something sarcastically, Zhang Barefoot smiled hesitantly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?" ”

As for why the Wang family chose to settle in the Zoroastrian area and choose to cooperate with the Pu family, the reason is also very simple.

"They don't have a choice."

Supporting the local Xia family and making them the first line of defense for Xia Huayi was the idea of the imperial court, and it was also the reason why the Linliu family was able to independently obtain the foreign bank license with a very small capital, but after hundreds of years of implementation......

"I'm afraid the imperial court couldn't have imagined it at that time, right? Now the one who is most afraid of the Xia people entering Wurong is precisely the Lin Liu family, and the one who wants to bring in forces like the Wang family the most is precisely the Pu family! ”

It is very clear where the huge benefits of their annual harvest come from, and the current Lin Liu family has always been with the greatest malice and vigilance to guard against all the Xia people who want to enter Wurong--- after all, the development and growth of the Yi people will not affect their foundation, and the growth of the new Xia merchants may allow the imperial court to have new support objects to choose.

"On the contrary, it is the Pu family, and they are now especially hoping to bring in a new Xia giant as an ally."

After summing it up like this, it's dusk,

"The reason, of course, is the same as what the Lin Liu family thinks."

The imperial court will never allow the Xia merchants to be completely squeezed out of the city, and the discrimination and vigilance against these "non-our" Yi merchants have never been put down. Therefore, Pu Shougeng knew that as long as no other Xia merchants entered for a day, it would be impossible for him to completely defeat these old opponents for a day, and if he wanted the court to let go, the premise was to let the court have a choice first.

"Moreover, although the Wang family has average power in Yuanzhou, the upward momentum in recent years has been very good, especially in recent years, in the past few years, the continuous scientific field has reported successes, and in the past forty years, there have been fifteen jinshi in a hurry."

In the eyes of many people, such a family that can continuously appear with the seeds of reading, even if there is less money and less land for the time being, sooner or later it will be able to get the blue eyes of Confucianism, and sooner or later it will be able to truly become the Zhu Zi family, such a family...... The Pu family is only worried about not being able to climb.

"I heard that the Pu family, but I have always hoped to be able to become the Yiren family listed as the 'family tree' like the Kebei Zuo family!"
