The battle between humans and wolves has been going on for tens of thousands of years for the people of the mountains, but for the people of the town, it has only just begun. But the more they just started, the more people want to be able to get over quickly, rather than being entrenched in their lives all the time.

Especially after the swindlers in the two towns were arrested by the garrison and detained for 25 days on charges of disturbing the peace and attempted theft, some people put all the blame for this disaster on the heads of the mountain people. They believe that if it weren't for the mountain people who lured the wolves over, their lives would not have changed, and the people who lived with them in the town would not have chosen to take risks to break the law.

This statement is simply unreasonable, but there are still many people who support such an argument, and An Xiaoyu simply feels that this world is even more ridiculous. But that's exactly what happened, and the shops began to refuse to sell food and medicine to the mountain people, or to increase the price by three to five times.

When the Price Bureau found them, all the merchants banded together and refused to lower prices on the grounds that the goods stored in the warehouses were about to survive the winter, and implied that if the court and the military commissar did not quickly deal with the wolves outside the town, the goods they sold to the townspeople and soldiers would also increase the price.

The court did not have the slightest solution to this, according to the current situation, merchants are indeed qualified to raise prices to ensure that there will be no shortage of materials in this wolf plague that does not know how long it will last. Even they knew that these stores had already stocked up on a lot of goods at the beginning of the wolf plague.

As the mountain people who lived near the warehouses knew best, they were next to the wagons that came and went from the shops, and of course they knew exactly how much the shops were unwilling to sell them. Many people were furious, and even planned to steal from the warehouse next door to take revenge on these unscrupulous merchants.

Fortunately, this brainless idea was suppressed by the old people, otherwise they would have to face the wolves outside and the crowd in the town, and it was completely unnecessary to be attacked at this time. Of course, the administrator also knows the current situation, but they are ordinary people, and they don't mean to be like this on purpose, anyway, An Xiaoyu has money.

Taking advantage of the fact that prices had not risen too much, they bought a lot of food, medicine, and daily necessities from outside after seeing the two people being arrested by the garrison. When I came back, I distributed it to the people in the village, and at the time people didn't know what was going on, but it soon became clear.

So some people began to say that An Xiaoyu didn't care about others, and said that this time the two people were arrested, and it was still An Xiaoyu who provoked them. But perhaps it was because they saw that the people in the village were eating bread and dried tofu, while they were still eating dry food distributed by the military base, and everyone's momentum was not so full.

The people in the village didn't care what was going on at this time, why were those two people arrested? How high is the price of the goods in the store? How hateful are those people's faces? What kind of humiliation did they suffer when they went out to buy something? None of this has anything to do with them.

All they knew was that this young man named Tamamori had saved them again, not only leading everyone to build a strong ice city in the midst of the plague of wolves, but also bringing enough food and medicine in a strange place this time, and they had already taken these two people as their own.

Of course, compared to them, the most pressure is still faced by the troops of the garrison and the military base. Compared to the anger of the mountain people, they are the ones who are really criticized. Unless these wolves are resolved, there will be no contradictions, prices, everything will not be discussed, and there will even be casualties.

"When the time comes, everyone won't be able to eat and walk around!" The second lieutenant platoon commander of the base said with some tiredness, there are many military bases around the imperial capital, but their base is obviously not a dark base, and his highest status is only a platoon commander, and the entire base is only a little more than a thousand people.

Defending against wolves, okay, is our forte. But so many wolves, tens of thousands! If you don't find the wolf king, give up the defense and go into the mountains to encircle and suppress, it will definitely be them who will lose miserably in the end. How much can the conventional combat strength of 800 people play on this snowfield.

The headquarters of the garrison in the town also sighed: "I can only hope that the pickets will arrive soon, is there no news from the wolf king?" ”

The platoon commander snorted coldly: "Thief spirit!" I have to wonder if someone is manipulating it from behind. Since the drone was scattered, the whole wolf pack seemed to know, one by one raised their heads to look up, and as soon as they found that the drone appeared, they began to howl wolves, and the wolf king had already run away, how could you know where it was? ”

"Tsk!" The corps was helpless: "Didn't you say that you can't become a good person after the founding of the People's Republic of China?" ”

"Don't talk about those useless things, what the hell is the picket going on?" The platoon commander asked angrily.

The team spread out their hands: "The above things, we can know a fart!" It was supposed to arrive a long time ago, but it didn't come out until now, and I don't know what I'm busy with. However, I heard from a former classmate that the team seems to be in some trouble, probably from within. ”

"It's all this time, and there is still infighting?" The platoon commander glared: "Dogs can't change eating!" ”

"Dogs can't change their!" Also scolding is Qi Lianzhi, the picket team that he has been busy for so long to get out, but he encountered this kind of problem before he left the division, how could he, as the captain of the garrison, not be angry?

He Donggo said helplessly: "It's all led by the Zhong family, they have the most people in the imperial capital, at first I thought they were planning to win back in the fight with the An family, but I didn't expect them to make such a thing happen at such a time." ”

The garrison picket team is composed of the children of the family, the disciples of the sect, and the members of the cultivation hall from all over the country, these people are complex, and they should have restrained each other, who knew that the Zhong family actually invested a large number of people. Under the operation, these children of the Zhong family were dispersed to the corners and corners of the pickets, all positions.

The investigation of the corpse swindler was their first case, and these people were quite positive, so the guards didn't pay attention to it. But when it came to clearing the wolves, these people began to pull their crotches, insisting on giving them the right to act cheaply outside the city.

This right seems to be normal, after all, the battle between cultivators, especially between cultivators and beasts, is likely to be unpredictable. Of course, the people of the Zhong family also made a request for such a reason, to get the qualification to act cheaply outside the central city.

But how can such rights and qualifications be given away so easily?

When An Xiaoyu was leaving, she said that the rights of the pickets can be relaxed, but they can never be let go. That is, the pickets can manage more things, but they must definitely obey the leadership from above. And she also hinted that when the picket team was just established, this requirement was absolute, otherwise the foundation of the picket team would not be stable, and many people would rot from the heart.

Now, these people who were going to rot the pickets from their hearts appeared, but they were at a loss. It was really too hasty to appear this time, and everyone didn't expect that there would be wolves in the town outside the imperial capital, and the military base was dispatched and did not retreat.

"If only Shaozun were still here." He Dong said.

Qi Lianzhi glared at him, meaning that this kind of frustrating words would not be said in the future, but he did not refute He Donggo's point of view. Maybe everyone will think so in their hearts, if An Xiaoyu is still there, will these people from the Zhong family be so arrogant? Isn't that a minute to be taught to be a human being?

However, at this time, a tall and thin figure pushed the door and walked in: "Since the Zhong family is not cooperative, then remove all the people of the Zhong family, I want to see if the Chu family dares to stand up and speak!" ”

"Thunderbolt?" Qi Lianzhi said in surprise: "The Lei family plans to intervene in it? ”

Since the establishment of the picket, whether it is the Lei family or the Chu family, they have been watching and seeing, and they have never wanted to participate. Many people speculate that maybe it's because their first-order identity is here, maybe it's because of the heavy responsibility of the town, or maybe it's the arrangement implied by the empire.

They always thought that the Chu family and the Lei family would quit the picket team like this, but they didn't expect that now Guan Shantong was actually standing in front of him and told him to remove all the people from the Zhong family. There are a lot of people in the Zhong family, and after they are withdrawn, they can't all be topped by the people of the An family, right?

Not to mention that there are already a lot of people in the An family, it is uncertain whether they can get together manpower, and they are not their own families. Moreover, it is necessary to consider the composition of the entire picket team, if one side has too many people, the final result will be more serious than the Zhong family's opportunity to coerce this time.

In the same way, if there are too many sects and scattered cultivators, it will inevitably be uneven, and it is easy to form all kinds of small groups within the pickets, resulting in the dispersion of the pickets. So since Guan Shantong appeared in person, except for the Lei family's plan to insert people in, Qi Lianzhi really couldn't think of other possibilities.

Sure enough, Guan Shantong nodded: "The Lei family does plan to make a move, but it's not just the Lei family." ”

"What do you mean?" As soon as Qi Lianzhi asked, the document issued above was sent to the office by a team member, and it was clearly written that the Lei family, the Chu family, and the three thousand families jointly selected people to replace those picket team members who had already appeared in chaos.

The ratio of the number of people in the three families is 2:1:2.

Obviously, this is a warning from the above to the Chu family and the Zhong family.

Qi Lianzhi couldn't help laughing, laughing and laughing tears came out of his eyes, He Dong's status had not yet reached the point, as if he didn't realize the meaning behind this matter, and inexplicably watched his top boss laugh behind the desk without an image, looking confused.

After laughing for a while, Qi Lianzhi stopped, nodded and said: "I know about this matter, so I will notify the picket team, by the way, has the official captain position of the picket team been confirmed?" ”

Since the picket team was established, An Xiaoyu has been determined to be the honorary captain, but the real captain of the real power has not yet been determined. Many people speculated that this position was likely to be Wei Fangyuan's, but Wei Fangyuan didn't seem to mean it.

Now that the Chu family and the three thousand families have made a move, Qi Lianzhi finally understands that all this is a pit dug for the Zhong family and the Chu family above. If the Zhong family didn't make such a fuss, maybe the pickets would still accept their people, and it would be okay for the captain to hang up Wei Fangyuan casually.

But the Zhong family made a move, and they were so impatient, that the second task was to broaden their rights. Once the right to picket is released, it means that it is definitely not as simple as one or two tasks, but that the nature of the picket has changed.

So Guan Shantong said: "Lord Three Thousand Plum Blossoms personally serves. ”

Qi Lianzhi was not surprised at all, he had already guessed in his heart, only He Donggo was stunned next to him and couldn't react at all. However, at this time, Qi Lianzhi had already pressed the communicator and began to call people for a meeting: "Your Highness Lei Zi, you are also ready to prepare, together with Lord Meihua." ”

Guan Shantong nodded, turned around and left the office.

He Dong went to look at this series of operations, but he really didn't understand what was going on, and hurriedly asked, "No, what happened?" Why is this happening? ”

Qi Lianzhi put down the communicator and said, "Obviously, the pickets dug a pit for the Chu family and the Zhong family before they were established. The Chu family was established by relying on the empire, and it stands to reason that they will never make any small moves before this kind of major right and wrong, but the empire wants to know if the Chu family is still the Chu family. ”

"So, the Chu family is no longer the Chu family before?" He Dong went and muttered: "Indeed, since Chu Tiansheng was born, he has been getting better and better now, and he can even rely on one person to fight against the Chu family, so it is strange that the Chu family can accept it." ”

"Therefore, it is inevitable that the empire knows that the Chu family has some emotions. But what kind of impact does this emotion have? The empire wants to know. Especially when this kind of war is about to start and the cultivation world is completely opened, it is absolutely impossible to cause any chaos because of the lack of knowledge about the situation of one's subordinates. ”

"So, the empire dug such a pit for the Chu family?" He Dong asked, "But what if there is no such emergency?" ”

"Huh!" Qi Lianzhi looked at him and said: "Eventful autumn, eventful autumn, as soon as this heavy snow comes, the imperial capital is destined not to be calm." Shaozun is in seclusion, Lingzun is not there, the chaos of the nine directions is waiting to be revived, the origin, the end, and the primeval ten thousand clans are eyeing each other, do you really think that something happened by chance? Even if there is no such accident, there will be another accident. ”

He Dong opened his mouth, always feeling a little unrealistic, and asked, "Then what?" In this case, why did the Three Thousand Family and the Lei Family take over the affairs of the garrison and bring the people of the Chu family? ”

"Of course, in order to avoid being said to be the restoration of imperial power, after so many years, are there many similar rumors? The Three Thousand Family and the Lei Family jointly intervened in the pickets and controlled the civil and criminal law enforcement rights, and it was inevitable that someone would pour dirty water on the Three Thousand Family, if I guessed correctly, the Three Thousand Plum Blossoms would still have a backhand. ”

Three thousand plum blossoms do have a backhand, and the three major families will join forces to establish a picket garrison school, spend ten years training the garrison's cultivation masters, and replace the original endurance of the garrison from bottom to top. And those who come out of school have more possibilities to be promoted to the top.

This is a regular method, but it has never been seen in the world of practitioners.

When this plan was proposed at the meeting, the faces of the Chu family were as black as the bottom of a pot, and the representatives of the sect and the scattered cultivators were at a loss. They all knew that this was a means for the Three Thousand Families to weaken their control over the garrison, not to mention that now the Three Thousand Families have said that within ten years, the people of the Three Thousand Families will be replaced.

What else can they say?

"But don't worry too much, the children of the family, the disciples of the sect, the cultivation hall and the folk cultivators, those who have a clean background, and who have received the twelve years of compulsory education in the complete empire, are eligible to apply for the picket police academy in the national examination, and after study, assessment and certification, they can still become members of the picket team, and enjoy the same treatment and rights as other students." The spokesman of the Three Thousand Family said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the family and the sect became even more ugly.

If there is no such sentence, the major families and sects can still unite together, but when this policy comes out, I am afraid that they will not be stable internally. It looks like a compromise between the Three Thousand Empire and the family and the sect, but it is actually the poisonous plan of the Three Thousand Plum Blossoms.

The disciples of the family and the sect can apply for the picket team, and after being admitted, they can enjoy the same treatment as others, which means that the people of the family and the sect already have a higher status and even a more convenient path to choose without relying on the family and the sect.

A fool will not choose!

The competition within the family and the sect is very clear to them, even if they are quite talented disciples, if they want to climb to the top position, they not only have to work hard to cultivate, but also face the vicious competition of the same sect, the suppression of the upper class, and even be prepared to be at the mercy of the upper class for dozens or hundreds of years.

And now, they don't have to look at the faces of the elders, they don't have to worry about being bullied by their peers, as long as they have gone to school, they can apply for the police academy of the picket team, they only need to study hard, and through a fair, fair and open assessment, they can get the position they dreamed of getting before, although the position is in a different place.

But the status is the same!

Now is the time when the garrison is short of talent, and this decade is destined to be a period of personnel expansion, they need a lot of manpower, and they throw a lot of opportunities. These opportunities are even so many that they don't need to compete with each other at the same time, they only need to have real talents and real learning, and they can climb steadily upward.

With such an elevator, who would want to climb the stairs with the people in the family and sect? That's not a fool? And once they choose the garrison, the empire definitely has all kinds of means, so that they will abandon their families and sects with all their hearts, and serve the empire wholeheartedly, becoming the iron core of the empire.

Or even the dark line of the empire!

The delegates glanced at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes, but no one spoke.

Sanqian Plum Blossom nodded with a smile: "Then it's decided!" ”
