Chapter 196: People Overseas

Chu Jing was not punished for Meng Shu's recklessness, after all, thousands of soldiers, killing thousands of people in a battle is already a few, as for the demon beasts, just catch them again.

There are clear rewards and punishments, but that's only something that happens when it's hard to be sure of the loyalty of your subordinates.

Chu Jing doesn't have to worry about the loyalty of the several generals summoned at all, so there is no need to reward anything, not to mention the deputy city lord of the forbidden Jincheng, only under Chu Jing, Meng Yu is the big boss of the Demon Beast Corps, and it is also the highest official position, there is no seal, and there is no reward.

It's a lot of gold and silver for them, but now is the period of development, where there is time to use gold and silver, it is better to put it in the treasury for the time being.

Chu Jing gave Qin Yue's potion to Meng Shu, allowing him to create a complete demon beast corps in the shortest possible time.

Juyun City is not a threat for the time being, Black Sheep City and Yuanwang City are horns of each other, they can watch each other, and the soldiers who surrender can be used, they are fighting for food, and the Great Prince and the Seventh Prince have little to do with them.

Now, there are two biggest threats, one is the Great Prince, and the other is the Seventh Prince.

The strength of the eldest prince is too weak, and he may not necessarily gather troops to deal with Chu Jing, but the seventh prince is not necessarily, and he may soon rush to pick the fruits of victory.

In short, Chu Jing doesn't have much time, but there is room for relaxation, and among them, the Demon Beast Corps must be built.

Strength is the guarantee of the right to speak.

After Chu Jing gave the order, everyone started to get busy.

A new round of conscription began, and the generous treatment still attracted many poor people to join the army.

Zhou Tai began to screen and train, Yu Ban passed on the experience of Renjin City to Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City, and Xu Sheng and Le Jin began to firmly control the two cities.

The gap in the city of Yuanwang Fortress was also a problem, and the prisoners who were serving labor in Injin Fortress began to be sent to Yuanwang City.

Chu Jing did not allow prisoners who had been reformed through labor to join the army, because that would lower the people's evaluation of the army, believing that only prisoners would join the army.

The three cities are developing in an orderly manner.

Meng Shu used Qin Yue's potion, according to what she said, to find a river outside the safe zone where there were often demon beasts to drink water, sprinkle the potion that attracted the demon beast and the potion that poisoned the demon beast, and began to capture the demon beast on a large scale.

It's just that this method is only effective for low-level demon beasts, and high-level demon beasts are still very resistant to drugs.

Chu Jing himself was not idle, the establishment of the Apocalypse Kingdom had been put on the agenda, and Chu Jing felt that it was time to go back to Tiannan Mansion, after all, there were his two fiancΓ©es there.

However, Chu Jing kept the matter of returning to Tiannan Mansion secret, and he didn't tell anyone except a few trustworthy people.

Zirui didn't follow, she knew that Chu Jing's mission this time, there were no interesting things, they were all private matters, having lived in the human world for so long, Zirui also knew that some things were better not to mix.

There was no grand farewell party, and Chu Jing quietly walked out of Renjin City alone.

......

......

Xinyang City, Imperial Palace.

The eldest prince held a letter of recital, and his face was not shocked.

Qi Lin behind him already knew what was written in the fold, and his expression was a little unnatural.

The eldest prince said: "What should come is always coming, since my third brother and I have lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, I know that this day will come back sooner or later, but I didn't expect that the first person to do it would be Chu Jing." ”

Remembering that when the 300,000 army surrounded Renjin City, he still commanded calmly, and finally brought a woman to negotiate with him, the eldest prince knew that Chu Jing was not simple.

Qi Lin said: "Although the second prince won the Green Water City and Linshui City, he also locked himself in the northwest, and he will not show his head easily, and the Seventh Prince is almost the same, he has set up his own passes, and he has a lot of eyes, Chu Jing will move I have indeed thought about it, but he only has forty or fifty thousand soldiers in Renjin City, and I really can't figure out how he took Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City." ”

"I don't know. The eldest prince's voice was a little tired, "This is not a provocation, if I want to retake the two cities again, I am afraid that other city lords will be even more unscrupulous when they see my tired state." ”

Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City just surrendered by themselves, and if they lose it, it won't be much of a loss, but this face ......

Qi Lin thought about it for a while, and then said: "At this time, we must not send troops, things have happened, even if we want to repair it, it is just to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, it is better to give up directly, but concentrate all our efforts to kill the next imitator and set an example, so as to be able to deter the younger generation." ”

"Do you think Chu Jing is difficult to deal with, yes, 300,000 people are deflated, and I can't even take out 300,000 now. ”

Of course, the eldest prince has an army of 300,000, and the Blood Wolf Legion alone has 300,000, but to suppress all places, tens of thousands of people are left in each city, and heavy troops must be deployed in Xinyang City, as well as the defense line of Anping City must be rebuilt. The army in the hands of the eldest prince is also somewhat stretched.

In the end, the two agreed to do it according to Qi Lin's opinion, and Chu Jing was not easy to deal with, so give up the two cities and pinch a soft persimmon.

Within a few days, Qi Lin led an army of 200,000 to attack a rebellious city lord, exterminated the nine clans, and exposed his corpse for three days.

......

......

The Seventh Prince also received information from Chu Jing that he had taken Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City.

The Seventh Prince slapped the table happily and said: "This is really good news, I was still worried about Jinning City's refusal to surrender just now, I didn't expect Chu Jing to give me such a big surprise, okay, Jinning City will let him go first, and it is the right thing to take over Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City." ”

Zeng Fangzhou's brows were furrowed, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

The Seventh Prince was puzzled: "Is there anything difficult for Lord Shangshu?" ”

Zeng Fangzhou stood up and said: "Your Highness, Lord Chu seemed to be a little unhappy with General Chen Hunt last time, this time, he may not be willing to let his hard-won two cities, Yuanwang and Black Sheep, be handed over to His Highness." ”

The last time the Seven Princes went to Renjin City, Zeng Fangzhou didn't go to other things, but he didn't expect the Seven Princes to have a gap with Chu Jing.

"Chen Hunt......" the Seventh Prince asked, "What about General Chen Hunt?"

"General Chen went out and encountered a demon beast and was unfortunately injured, but under the care of the military doctor, he was no longer in the way. ”

The Seventh Prince shook his head: "General Chen's strength is not good, even the demon beast can hurt him, it seems that I need a new general." ”

Zeng Fangzhou was a little speechless, even if Chen Hunt lost to Chu Jing, it didn't mean that he was weak, besides, what could the Seven Princes find to replace Chen Hunt by themselves, without the help of the Holy Maiden, the Seventh Prince was just an ordinary prince with a noble status.

The Seventh Prince made up his mind: "Set off immediately, I will go to meet Chu Jing, if he refuses to hand over the power of Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

The Seven Princes suddenly felt that the pass he had built was very prescient, as long as the pass was passed, Renjin City would not get any help, it was surrounded by enemies, and it could only wait for death obediently if it was isolated and helpless.

As for throwing himself into the Great Prince, the Seventh Prince thought it was impossible, because the bitter battle of the 300,000-strong army besieging Renjin City had passed not long ago, and the hatred between the two sides would not be easily eliminated.

What's more, the Seventh Prince did not really give up Chu Jing, but would lead troops to help Chu Jing at the most critical time, like a god.

The Seven Princes fantasized here, Zeng Fangzhou naturally couldn't see through it, and he didn't bother to care about it.

The Holy Maiden Shangguan Xiaobai has not passed down an order for a long time.

Shangguan Xiaobai is different from Our Lady of the Yellow Lotus, and the plan at that time was to make the red light illuminate the state religion of all countries, and the Holy Mother of the Yellow Lotus to become the god worshiped by the people.

At this time, Shangguan Xiaobai, who got the corpses of the two gods, is most concerned about refining the Hongyan Eternal Residence Pill now, and maintaining his beautiful appearance will not pass with the years. Where is the time to care about this bit of about the country of faith?

Zeng Fangzhou did not persuade again, but went to find Chen Hunt, and this time the reason why Chen Hunt was injured was because he received an order summoned by the Holy Maiden.

However, after he came back, he kept silent and did not say anything related to the Holy Maiden, which made Zeng Fangzhou very uneasy.

......

......

It is said that after Chu Jing left Renjin City alone, he came to the pass set up by the Seven Princes, which was called "Heavenly Difficult Pass", and the meaning of the pass was like ascending to the sky.

Unfortunately, this is only a metaphor, and the reason why the pass is important is that apart from the pass, the rest of the place is either high mountains and dense forests, or rushing rivers, and there is no other place to march except here.

These dangerous places are indeed difficult for ordinary soldiers to pass, but not so difficult for strong people who are good at light skills.

Chu Jing happened to be such a master with excellent light skills.

However, he still observed it before the disaster, because the two sides of the pass belonged to different camps, and there were almost no people coming and going, so the pass was always closed.

Now, unless Chu Jing reveals his identity, he can only go over the mountains and mountains.

Chu Jing was not near the pass, but far away from the pass.

This is a mountain hundreds of feet high, the mountain is lush with trees, the weeds are not up to the waist of people, and the strange cries of monsters are often heard in the mountain.

"Alas, it's hard to open the road without a road, and it's even harder to open the road!"

Chu Jing thought of Yu Gong moving mountains, maybe Yu Gong is the biggest reform in the world. Chu Jing secretly made a decision in his heart, he wanted to send all the demon beasts to the zoo, and then build countless roads in each place, so that there was no place to cross from the Divine Continent.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jing took out several flying swords from the mustard seed bag, manipulated the flying swords to cut through the weeds and vines, and occasionally jumped directly onto the flying swords, anyway, it was relatively easy to step on the flying swords and float in the air.

Chu Jing's speed of advance was not fast, but fortunately, the mountain was only a few hundred zhang, and after a few hours, Chu Jing finally came out from the other side of the mountain.

Pick off the grass clippings sticking to his body, if Chu Jing wasn't used to being served in the City Lord's Mansion, he would take off his clothes now and put on new clothes.

But he is now the city lord of Renjin City, and even if no one else is present, he still has to maintain his demeanor.

There is actually no difference between the south and the north of the Heavenly Difficulty, after all, it is the same faith country, and under the same rules and regulations, even the planning of the city is almost the same.

It's just that because the city here is far away from the war, there is no martial law, Chu Jing went directly into a city, went to the upper room of the best inn to clean it, slept for one night, and then bought another horse the next day.

Riding a horse, Chu Jing began to head towards Tiannan Mansion.

Because the three cities of Renjin, Yuanwang, and Black Sheep were all garrisoned by generals, Chu Jing was not worried at all.

On the way, Chu Jing heard that the car of the Seven Princes was heading north, needless to say, it must have been to ask for the power of Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City, but unfortunately Chu Jing was not there, and those generals would not hand over the city.

Tiannan Mansion is still the same as before, although there are more people who have fled from the north and the economy is more prosperous, but the poor are still poor, and the rich are still rich, there is no difference.

Passing by the city gate, Chu Jing saw a cart of sea fish being pulled into Tiannan Mansion, and the fishy smell could be smelled from a long distance.

Chu Jing likes to eat fish, but he doesn't like fish.

Fishy smell, shameful smell, and smelly smell, three original flavors that poor people like.

As the so-called living in the water has a fishy smell, eating meat has a smell, eating grass has a smell, this is not what people like, only can not eat, once in a while people will say: "Look at the smell, it must be XX lamb!"

How stupid.

Chu Jing has the best chefs, they know how to get rid of bad tastes, how to retain umami, so Chu Jing doesn't like fishy, and can't even stand it.

Chu Jing covered his mouth and nose, and after entering Tiannan Mansion, he couldn't help but pull a passer-by and asked, "Why are there so many sea fish here, has Tiannan Mansion become a seafood wholesale market?"

Passers-by didn't know Chu Jing, but they still introduced it very kindly: "You must have just returned to Tiannan Mansion, recently the city lord of Tiannan Mansion has made contact with people from overseas, and they often bring fish to Tiannan Mansion to sell, and then exchange some things that are not available overseas." ”

As he spoke, the passer-by pointed to a person and said, "That person is from overseas, and his skin is very dark, and it is tanned." ”

Chu Jing looked over, but the person was a little darker than a normal person, but it was not particularly dark, but the scars left by the sunburn on his skin were very obvious, Chu Jing understood, this is a person who often goes to sea to work, and he does not wear sunscreen, so it will naturally become like this.

People from overseas, why haven't you heard of it before?

Chu Jing asked the passer-by: "Aren't there fishermen in Tiannan Mansion, why do you still need their goods?" ”

The passer-by said impatiently: "Can those fishermen compare with them, their boats are more than ten zhang high, and they are not afraid of storms, their fish are all caught from the deep sea, and the fishermen are not capable of this! Dude, I have told you everything I know, let me go, my wife is still waiting for me to make soy sauce." ”

After the soy sauce guy left, Chu Jing still felt a little strange, but it seemed that it would be good to be able to see a few deep-sea fish dishes on the menu in the future.

Chu Jing stopped wandering around and headed in the direction of the Tiannan Martial Arts Pavilion, there were still people waiting for him here.

The Tiannan Martial Arts Pavilion has not changed in the slightest, with the owner of the Pavilion in charge, even the Seven Princes do not dare to do anything about the Tiannan Martial Arts Pavilion.

Chu Jing did not go through the main gate, but jumped directly into the wall.

The strength of the disciples here is not very good, Shen Yunhe should be able to know that it is him, but he doesn't have to worry.

When he came to Xiaoye Tower, Shen Xiaoye was not there, he must be practicing swords at this time, her strength can't keep up with the changes of the times, and she needs to work hard.

β€œ...... Who first saw the moon on the riverside? When did the river moon shine at the beginning of the year?"

Chu Jing heard the sound of reciting poems inside, but he was not very familiar with it, but there were only three people living in Xiaoye Building, so he thought it should be that Princess Qin Yingran.

Chu Jing pushed open the door and walked in, just as he saw Qin Yingran holding the book, turning his head to look here.

is worthy of being a princess, her skin is like clotted fat, her eyes are full of autumn water, her nose is delicate, and her beautiful face is very gratifying.

This is the daughter of Emperor Xinguo for nothing.

Qin Yingran stared at Chu Jing directly, revealing a puzzled look: "Young Master Chu, why are you back?"

Chu Jing smiled: "I naturally have something to do when I come back, I'll talk to you later, Lan Yanru is here?"

Qin Yingran was a little jealous when she heard that the future concubine actually asked about other women first, but she still said: "Sister Yanru is not here, she went shopping." ”
