If it weren't for the Mu family, she originally wanted to upgrade the primary spirit gathering array to an intermediate spirit gathering array to speed up the upgrade of the spirit field, but now it seems that she can only give up.

Now the focus is on reinforcing the defensive array!

There is a moat buffer, and if the enemy army wants to enter the city in large numbers, unless it is a high-ranking monk, it will definitely be blocked by the main river for a while, and if an arrow tower battery is set up nearby, it will definitely be able to block a wave.

It seems that it is necessary to ask the blacksmith to forge a batch of fine iron arrows.

Even if it's not a treasure, archers and gunners can stop a wave.

As for the monks above the Yuan infant stage, they couldn't be beaten, so in order to unnecessarily suffer casualties, they still surrendered directly......

However, the monks above the Yuan infant stage probably can't look down on the current backward lockdown!

At this time, the lockdown is no longer suitable for high-speed development, and can only be fought steadily, with defense as the main focus and attack as the supplement.

While improving defense, the operation to make money can not be pulled down, the rear resources such as the spirit plant pill can not be missing, and the resources in hand can improve everyone's strength.

Ling Xi frowned, the Mu family had obtained the secret recipe, and they were afraid that the merchants in the county and prefecture would not cooperate with her because of the pressure from the Mu family......

When the time comes, she will have to find a way to run to other cities to do business.

……

Three days later, as expected, the five county and state families came to terminate the contract with an apology.

When the news of the closure of the city and the protection of the Mu family came out, the heads of the five major merchant families in the county and state did not even show their faces in order to avoid suspicion.

Ling Xi was not happy or sad, and took the liquidated damages to arrange the city defense.

The positions are different, and the five major merchants are not willing to take risks with their families, not to mention that the Mu family has already started selling spirit meat, so why should they come to the city to do business?

Fortunately, the tavern is still doing well.

No matter how powerful the Mu family is, they can't control the scattered monks, not to mention that the people who come to the Luofeng Mountain Range to experience are not only people from Qingyang County.

What surprised her the most was that the Fire Maple Caravan had chosen to cooperate with the Ling family as always.

This is undoubtedly a relief in disguise!

This kindness, she Ling Xi can be regarded as having written it down!

Hall Master Ye personally came to the city to recruit the Ling family, but Ling Xi politely refused.

Even if Huo Feng was good, she didn't want the Ling family to fall into the days of being under the fence anymore, she was really too passive.

Hall Master Ye looked at the woman in men's clothes in front of him and sighed.

When he first got the news, he was also shocked, but he didn't expect that the person who had been doing business with him was a girl with no spiritual power, and he really admired this courage.

He had no choice but to say: "Miss Ling, our Huofeng's strength is a little worse than that of the top ten factions, and we are not afraid of a small county and state master." When Miss Ling is willing to join my Fire Feng, we welcome it at any time. ”

"Thank you Hall Master Ye for your kindness, if we can't hold on, we will definitely look for you to take care of it."

Ling Xi sent people out of the city, and his heart was also a lot more stable, with the support of the Huofeng caravan, at least there were channels for trading in the future.

***

After another three days, the enemy did not wait, but the city was in chaos.

During lockdown, this kind of conversation can be heard from time to time.

"Without the protection of the Mu family, if you don't leave, you are waiting for death?"

"No one knows what will happen in the future, aren't you still dead?"

"Relying on a woman without spiritual power, death is not far away!"

"Now the city lord is the eldest young master, who said that it depends on a woman, the eldest young master is a genius of the twin spirit roots, and he will definitely be able to resist foreign enemies, you don't have to be alarmist."

As the two spoke, several women were already carrying water and splashing it on them.

"You white-eyed wolves with no wolf heart, what's wrong with women!"

"Why can't a woman be the lord of the city, if it weren't for the eldest lady, you wouldn't even have enough to eat now! I have been in lockdown for thirty or forty years, and I only recognize the eldest lady as the lord of the city, and whoever dares to say that she is not half a sentence, I will splash whom! ”

"I don't care if she's a woman or a man, whoever can feed me, I'll follow!"
