Chapter 293: The End of the Journey

Even if Feng Miaojun had already sensed that something was wrong, his heart was also heavy. These children, the youngest of whom was less than five years old, learned the cruelest of the law of the jungle. This is the only way to go from Jin to Yao, and outsiders often pass by here, and these children choose to start alone. The money is snatched, and the person who is stabbed to death will not waste it.

The suburbs are full of dry bones, and I don't know how many people's souls have been broken here.

War and famine have left these children without their families and making them the most vulnerable in reality. If they don't huddle together and don't become man-eating wolves, will they have any way to live?

Feng Miaojun doesn't know the answer, and I'm afraid no one else knows the answer.

The rest of the journey was not smooth, the two encountered at least five robbers, and two yokai invasions and cannibalism - the city-state was originally one of the most effective means for humans to defend against youkai, but when the country was weak, the youkai of the wilderness would even swagger into the city and eat people.

In this case, no one dared to cultivate the land outside the city, no matter how fertile it was, and the arable land was gradually abandoned.

Feng Miaojun killed the two demon beasts with his own hands, and silently thought that he would send an army to restore order here and drive the monsters back into the mountains.

Another time passing through a small mountain village, several ragged men surrounded her, trying to snatch her back as a daughter-in-law. This time, without waiting for her to make a move, Fu Lingchuan sent them down to the underworld first.

The last night she left the deserted city was spent in a commoner's house.

The couple was over fifty years old, but they were as old as seventy. The old man got artemisia grass out of nowhere to fill the hole in the roof, but was stolen away by a few children. By this time it was already dark, and he did not dare to go out to look for grass again, for it was not safe for him or his wife.

At this time, he saw Feng Miaojun and the two who came to spend the night.

They have put away their brocade clothes, and only wear hats and coarse cloth, but their simple clothes cannot hide the demeanor of real people. The old man was stunned, and saw that the other party took out a big ingot of silver, not like a thief who broke into the room, so he also agreed: "Okay, but I don't have anything to eat here." ”

"Not necessarily. ”

So the two of them moved in.

The old woman leaned against the door and looked out, and the three of them walked to the fence wall, and her eyes were fixed on Feng Miaojun.

Immediately after, her eyes changed, and she rushed over in two steps in three steps. The old man sighed "not good", and she had already grabbed Feng Miaojun's arm.

Feng Miaojun had experienced the attack of the child before, and she had already raised her vigilance, and almost popped her out at this time. Fortunately, the old woman laughed first: "Son, why did you come back now? ”

Feng Miaojun was stunned, glanced at Fu Lingchuan, and temporarily removed the strength of his hand and let her hold it.

The old woman didn't look at her husband and Fu Lingchuan, and only pulled her into the house: "I made you two stupid eggs, and there are still a lot of mushrooms left from the mushrooms picked this morning......"

Feng Miaojun listened to her chatter, glanced back at the old man, and saw that his eyes were red, knowing that it was the old man who lost his daughter, and his wife couldn't bear the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, and she was delirious.

When you enter this thatched hut, the house is surrounded by walls, of course, there will be no stupid eggs, no mushrooms. Feng Miaojun stretched out her hand and brushed it in front of the old woman's eyes, and she yawned a few times and went to sleep in a daze.

The old man lost his soul and said after a long time: "My daughter is about the same age as you, and she is not as good-looking as you." The day she went out, the Wei people came, but she didn't come back, and the old woman went crazy after looking for a few days and crying for a few days. ”

Any words of comfort were pale, Feng Miaojun had to nod, but Fu Lingchuan said in a low voice: "The Wei people will never come again, old man, life will be better." ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "The girls are gone, whether the Wei people come or not, whether the life is good or not, what does it matter?"

He evened out his daughter's room for the two guests. That night, Feng Miaojun heard something scratching the door outside the house, looked out through the crack in the window, and saw a pack of wild wolves, the wolf's eyes glowing green in the dark.

"Even wolves can't find food. Feng Miaojun said slowly, "Is this the case only in the east, or is it the same in the whole of Anxia?"

Fu Lingchuan didn't roll his eyelids: "The life in the border town is the hardest, the population to the west is increasing, Xinxia first governs more than 60 big cities, and it has improved, I hope to use this as a base to slowly bless the surrounding area." ”

Feng Miaojun could hear that this method was to bring the area from point to point, and use the rise of the big city to radiate the surrounding area. Cities of a large scale are more mature in terms of municipal administration, taxation, transportation, transportation, and public security, and are rebuilt and revitalized faster.

This method is more stable, but the effect is a little slower.

"Where does the money come from?" Where did Fu Lingchuan get the money?

He smiled bitterly: "Do you think, why did I go to Luofu to sell treasures?"

"Isn't it to steal Luofu Island as a straw tool?"

"......" Well, he forgot that the new queen was unforgiving, "I am a VIP in all major sales houses, using a pseudonym, and I have to sell a lot of treasures every year to help build the country." ”

Feng Miaojun squinted at him: "Where did you get so many treasures, family heirloom?"

"There's a part of the family tradition. My family originally guarded the northern part of Anxia, killed many big demons, and had magic weapons and materials into the account. The monsters who have the way are full of treasures. ”

She agrees with this last sentence. "What else?"

"Is there still a part...... he opened his eyes to look at Feng Miaojun, and it was rare to have two points of spitting, "from Anxia's treasure house." ”

There was a gleam in her eyes: "Anxia still has a treasure trove!"

"Anxia's ancestors once accompanied Emperor Haoli to fight the world, so we are the one with the longest bloodline among all the royal families on the continent. For more than 1,000 years, the royal family has accumulated a lot of treasures. Anxia destroyed the country too quickly, and many of them were too late to deal with them. He coughed lightly, "But after many years of fighting, I have used it almost well." ”

Feng Miaojun's face was full of disdain: "You took my things as money privately, and now you remember to tell me?"

Fu Lingchuan also knew that this matter was a little embarrassing, so he touched his nose and said: "It's really a helpless move, resisting the Wei State, organizing an uprising, and governing the city all need to consume a lot of money." ”

Feng Miaojun shook his head: "Those dozens of big cities, they can't collect any taxes, right?"

"It's barely afloat, but seven or eight cities are starting to prosper. Fu Lingchuan said, "Lu Xing is too slow, you have seen enough of the suffering in the world, let's take the crane to the west." ”

Does this thing know that driving a crane to the west is a curse? Feng Miaojun glared at him and stared at him inexplicably before asking, "Where is the end?"

"Lubo City. Fu Lingchuan's voice was mellow, and it actually sounded two points nostalgic on this cold winter night, "It is also our capital." ”

Lubo City has been the capital of Anxia for hundreds of years, and Feng Miaojun sighed lightly: "Wasn't the palace burned down by the Wei State?"
