Zhang Gensheng and Zhang Xiaoshun secretly admired when they heard this, Lord Xi was really not simple, and he had already judged that someone was behind the scenes to instruct the Wild Beast to surround the village, but unfortunately the person behind the scenes did not appear that day, and they were quite cautious and careful, otherwise Lord Xi might be able to help them get rid of that person.

"Actually, our grandparents are here because of this. Zhang Gensheng bowed deeply: "The traitor behind the murder of our village is still lurking in the dark and staring at our village, ready to strike again at any time." ”

"Do you want me to take action and get rid of the person behind the scenes?" Xi Qianye said lightly.

"If Lord Xi can help our village get rid of this big trouble, our village will be grateful, up and down, but if there is something to say, don't dare to disobey.

Zhang Gensheng simply knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his eyes full of pleading. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshun also hurriedly knelt on the ground, his eyes full of expectation. The traitor who tried to murder their village will not die, and it will be difficult for their village to be at peace.

"If you do it, it will be nothing to help you get rid of the hidden danger, but unfortunately that man is already hiding in the mountains, and it is not easy to find him. ”

Xi Qianye said lightly.

The Muzhen Spirit Land is different from other places, not only suppressing the monk's body, the gravity is a thousand times higher, but also suppressing the monk's spiritual power, even if the monks of the Half Emperor Realm, the spiritual power in the Muzhen Spirit Land can only cover a radius of ten miles. Xi Qianye's spiritual power was stronger than that of ordinary half-emperor realm cultivators, but it could only cover a radius of thirty miles.

It can be said that as long as that person does not appear, it is quite difficult to find him.

When Zhang Gensheng and Zhang Xiaoshun heard this, their faces turned pale for a while, they were in the light, and the traitor was in the dark, and they were indeed very passive.

"Lord Xi, I heard Xiao Shun'er say that you plan to go to the city of Mortis, the city-state of the Kuza tribe, I wonder if you can bring a few people from our village with you. Zhang Gensheng asked cautiously.

Xi Qianye glanced at him meaningfully when he heard this, and said, "The person behind the curtain is eyeing your village, he should have something to ask for, right?"

Obviously, Village Chief Zhang's purpose was to follow him to the city-state of the Kuza tribe Mortis, and as for finding out the person behind the scenes, it was not practical after all.

When Village Chief Zhang heard this, his body trembled, and there was a little fear in his eyes, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Dissatisfied with Lord Xi, that traitor is targeting our village because of a treasure. ”

"Oh, what treasure, you will have treasures in your broken villages?"

Hu Sanyin, who was standing on Xi Qianye's shoulder, heard about the treasure, and his eyes lit up, but he soon looked at Village Chief Zhang with doubts. A dilapidated village, it is difficult to live and eat normally, and they can only struggle to survive in the mountains, saying that they have any treasures, no one believes them.

After living in the village for a few days, Xi Qianye had a talking bird on his shoulder, and the people in the village had long been surprised, and Village Chief Zhang smiled bitterly: "Lord Hu, it's a long story, this matter has to start from a month ago......"

Zhang Xiaoshun looked at the strange bird on Xi Qianye's shoulder strangely, a bird was actually surnamed Hu, which was really strange.

It turned out that a month ago, Zhang Gensheng led the hunters in the village to hunt in the mountains to prepare food for the winter, but the wild beast did not succeed in hunting, but accidentally picked up a blood-red stone in a deep valley. Although Zhang Gensheng didn't know what the blood-red stone was, he could also judge that it was not simple with his old and spicy eyes.

So he took the blood-red stone to the city-state of the Kuza tribe to be identified by a professional treasure connoisseur, and the final result was that the bloodsmoke stone had no practical value to the human monks, but it was the treasure of the animal tamer. If the Beast Tamer has a Blood Smoky Stone, the ability to tame the beast will be greatly improved, and it will be easier to attract powerful beasts to take the bait.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Gensheng and they were targeted by an animal trainer living in the Kuza tribal city-state, the animal trainer had a despicable personality, seeing that Zhang Gensheng was just a person in a small village, and he was unwilling to spend a lot of money to buy it, so he tried to buy the blood smoke stone for a small fee.

Zhang Gensheng is not stupid, how can they agree. Although the Bloodsmoke Stone is of no use to ordinary monks, it is a treasure among beast tamers, and it is quite rare. If you find the right buyer, a piece of blood smoke stone can be sold for a very high price.

"It turned out to be just a piece of blood smoke. ”

Hu Sanyin shook his head with some disappointment when he heard this, that kind of stone desolate beast liked it the most, but as an ancient nine evils, he naturally didn't like that kind of thing that ordinary desolate beasts liked.

"Guilty of it. Xi Qianye said lightly.

Zhang Gensheng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "My lord, we are not greedy for money, if it is any other time, the blood smoke stone is snatched away by that beast tamer, and we will not be able to make a mortal enmity at all." But now the situation in our village is much worse than before, we have been in arrears for three years and have not paid the taxes, and if we don't pay the taxes, everyone in our village will be imprisoned and arrested as slave laborers. ”

The so-called tax is an obligation to be paid by all members of the Confederation.

In fact, it is said to be an obligation, but it is also a compulsory collection of wealth, and if anyone fails to pay, he will be imprisoned.

The human race in the Muzhen Spirit Land, the smallest group unit is the village, above the village is the walled city, and above the walled city is the tribe.

Of course, there are big and small tribes between tribes.

Small tribes depend on large tribes to survive, and large tribes depend on larger tribes to survive.

For example, Zhang Gensheng's village is attached to a small tribe, and must accept the jurisdiction and rule of that small tribe, and at the same time, he must pay a certain amount of taxes regularly. Saying that it is a tax, in fact, it is the most appropriate to call it a protection fee, which is extremely arrogant and unreasonable, and there is no difference between robbery, and the village cannot pay the protection fee, and the end will often be extremely miserable. The so-called power society is like this.

Zhang Gensheng's village lives in a bitter cold land, and it has been quite difficult in the past few years, sometimes his stomach is not full, and he has no money left over to pay taxes.

So it's not that Zhang Gensheng's village is greedy for money, they are desperate, and there is no other way, and they regard that piece of blood smoke stone as the only life-saving straw. If they had sold that piece of blood, perhaps they would have the money to pay their taxes, not be captured as slave laborers, and live in darkness for the rest of their lives, never to see the light of day.

"So, you're going to go to the city-state of Mortis and sell the Bloodsmoke Stone?" Xi Qianye said lightly.

"Lord Xi, our village is also desperate, compared to the traitor hiding in the shadows, in fact, the laws of the Confederation are even more terrifying. ”

Zhang Gensheng said with a wry smile, this is the case with harsh government as fierce as a tiger, living in a world of power, the people at the bottom will always be the most difficult.
