Chapter Eighty-Four: Breaking the Iron Law
Wen Xiaoyan pinched his little face and said, "You are really hearty." β
Xiao Xuan tilted his head and seemed to think for a while and said, "I want to become a little stronger, I can protect my mother in the future, grandpa, can you help me?"
Wen Zhijun looked at his delicate little face, smiled unconsciously, and said, "If you want to protect your mother, just listen to Sister Xiaoyan's words." β
At this time, Kai Hao, Chen Meng, and Lei Xuemei had already come to Wan Zhiwen's house, Ling Ruolan made a table of delicious food, and everyone sat down around a red sandalwood round table.
Kai Hao asked, "Aunt Lan, Uncle Wan won't come back for dinner at night now?"
Ling Ruolan nodded and said, "He doesn't come home until late every day now, and he seems to be busy with things. β
Lei Xuemei said: "My dad also comes home late every night, but my mom also goes to participate in the logistics of the defense plan, so they both go home together." β
Liu Kewei also frowned and said: "Sometimes, my mother is also late to pick me up. β
"This time, it seems that all the people of Shuikou Village have actively joined, and the whole defense plan has been completed quickly. Especially the five-member group was the busiest. However, it should be easy to get over this time. β
Everyone ate quietly, even the two children stopped talking, human nature is like this, when a matter is unresolved, there may be endless possible endings, although the final outcome may be very simple, but before that, it is not reassuring, no matter what, the final result cannot be figured out.
Ling Ruolan stretched out her snow-white slender hand and sandwiched a piece of braised beef into Kai Hao's bowl, and said, "Kai Hao, you and Chen Meng will come over for lunch and dinner every day in the future, anyway, if you come, you can still accompany Ke Wei and Qin Wen, and I will save some trouble." β
Kai Hao nodded and snorted.
Chen Meng smiled and said, "From then on, I can eat the delicious food made by Aunt Lan every day." β
Kai Hao smiled and glanced at him and said, "Da Meng, no wonder Aunt Lan used to let you come to dinner often, it turns out that your mouth is so sweet." β
Chen Meng smiled.
Lei Xuemei shook her head and frowned at Chen Meng, and said to Kai Hao in a coquettish voice: "Kai Hao, it seems that you Chen Meng, you have a lot of careful eyes." β
Chen Meng looked at Lei Xuemei inexplicably, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Ling Ruolan smiled and said, "In the past, it was Qinwen's father who brought Xiao Meng over for dinner. He wasn't that tall at the time, but now he's scary tall. β
Kai Hao nodded and said, "Aunt Lan, it's actually okay now, he will grow taller soon." β
Wan Qinwen looked at Chen Meng and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Da Meng is a giant, invulnerable, protect Shuikou Village." β
Ling Ruolan smiled and said, "This is what her father told her. β
Chen Meng grinned deliberately, but there was a rare solemnity in his eyes.
From the east gate of Shuikou Village to the east, through a flat forest and grassland, is a relatively small village, although these villages do not have a large population, many young people go to the big counties and villages to work and do business, but because the villages are not far apart, when encountering some small scale bandits, many small villages will unite to resist the bandits, so if the invaders do not know the terrain, it is easy to be surrounded by the entanglement of the power of each village and cannot get out.
After passing through some small villages, a little to the south, is a relatively large village, Kangju Village, this village is located in the northwest of the No. 5 military camp of the Moyuan Empire, because it is very close to the military camp, generally speaking, it is relatively stable, but although there is no bandit harassment, the colony of Youcheng pursues a big policy of the jungle, in the village, there will still be a phenomenon of bullying the weak, but in the troubled times, there are often some chivalrous hermits, so in general, although there is no five-person group organization in Shuikou Village to do strong management, the villagers can still maintain a normal lifeγ
Continue south from Kangju Village, and then pass through several small villages, that is, Likou County, which crosses the Lishui River, is located directly north of the No. 5 military camp, and the No. 5 military camp is located in the west of the Lishui River, facing the river, but Likou County is divided into two by the Lishui River, which is divided into the west and east districts of Likou.
On both sides of the Lishui River between the two districts, there is a dock for large and small boats to cross the river, and the width of this section of the Lishui River is narrowed to only about 100 meters.
From the west district of Likou to the east by boat, about dozens of miles to the southeast, is Lishui County, where Gong Jian met his wife and eventually became husband and wife.
Gong Jian was born here, half of his thousands of bandits were stationed here and the surrounding areas, and the other half were divided into small teams to wander around the area to the north of Lishui County, constantly attacking small villages with weak forces and managing the villages after the invasion, in the process, while annexing small bandit forces, Gong Jian's strength increased, and his sphere of influence continued to expand.
Because Lishui County and Likou County are surrounded by the No. 5 military camp of the empire, bandits from all walks of life dare not attack, because the two counties have opened many official stores of the empire, and the official stores of the empire bear the economic lifeline of the entire colony city, and also bring a lot of financial revenue to Moyuan, so the military camp will definitely not allow the two counties to be touched by any force.
But outside of these two counties, the military camp did almost nothing, and did not interfere with the state of the law of the jungle in the city at all, and only intervened when there was a violation of the iron law set by the Moyuan Empire for the city.
It's just that in recent years, due to the turbulence of the situation in the Moyuan Empire, it has affected the military camp in the colony city, and some of the iron laws that have been observed for thousands of years have been gradually broken, for example, in the past, in order to prevent a certain force in the colony city, it was strictly forbidden for a gang force of more than 100 people to appear, once the gang community force exceeded 100 people, and the report was verified, it would definitely be destroyed by the barracks, and all the participants would be sent to the imperial prison prison, and they would not be allowed to leave the mining prison for life, but now, the strength of the military camp is gradually weakening, and there is no time to estimate the rise of many bandit forces, so that there will be a powerful force with thousands of people like Gong Jian, which was unimaginable five years agoγ
It's not that the No. 5 military camp doesn't know Gong Jian's strength, but Gong Jian has never harassed Likou and Lishui counties at the same time as expanding his power, on the one hand, in order to show his attitude towards the military camp, he will not confront the military camp, on the other hand, his family currently lives in these two counties, under the strong protection of the military camp, he does not have to worry about his family being invaded and used by the enemy.
And although the weapons in the military camp are all eliminated and replaced equipment of the Moyuan Empire, it is a god-level existence for all the forces in the Colony City, and if the empire gives an order to eliminate the bandits, it can effortlessly destroy the big bandit forces such as Gong Jian.
As long as the stable and continuous financial revenue is ensured to be handed over to the national treasury, the external intervention of the strength and weakness of the various forces in the Colony City will not be exercised for the time being, and the natural operation ecology will still be maintained.
