With the increasing number of troops in Huangsha County, the defense force has gradually increased, and its original role as a border trade city has also been perfectly played.

Although every night, Huangsha County will still choose to send troops to close the city gates on both sides, but when the number of people in the city gradually increases, all kinds of night markets in the city will naturally prevail in this way.

Especially some businessmen from other places, suddenly arrived in a different place, there is no friend to chat with, and they have some spare money in their pockets, and they have nothing to do at night.

What's more, some people who have very special preferences and like to try new things are very interested in the Rakshasa tribe, which is very different from them, and will go to the special prostitution hall in the city to prostitute the women of the Rakshasa tribe, and even men.

Although in order to take care of the emotions of the Rakshasa soldiers in the city, all slave trade against the Rakshasa is strictly prohibited in the city, but as a pillar industry of trade between the two sides, in fact, as long as these unscrupulous businessmen secretly come by themselves, the county government will not conduct a large-scale search, as long as they are not caught.

The business that the Rakshasa clan can do with Da Liang is nothing more than the slave trade, as well as some special spices and gold in the desert.

Curiosity is a source of power that supports the progress of various races, when the ancient people wanted to eat what cooked meat tasted like, so there was fire, when the ancient people wanted to see what was on the other side of the sea, so there was a boat, and the Rakshasa tribe as a kind of alien that is very different from the normal human race, or barbarians, will naturally make uninformed people have a kind of curiosity, want to catch them, put them in front of them to study carefully, to see what is the difference between them and themselves, especially for those nobles who have a lot of money, but have nothing to do every day, and their hearts are very empty, what they have to do every day is nothing more than to change the law to enjoy, looking for something new, looking for fun.

Some barbarians on the Western Continent, the Earth Tribes and Spirit Races in the Eastern Continent, and even some people will make a special trip to the sea to grab some more bizarre alien races to sell, the reason is because of this, anyway, the nobles of various countries have not much else, that is, the most money and time, and even they themselves like to sell the daughters of the descendants of the fallen nobles or the wives and daughters of fallen political enemies to sell * lewd pleasures, not to mention foreign races.

In this world, the most valuable thing is by no means gold, nor silver, but people, every time a slave is sold from Huangsha County, the county government has to take a huge amount of taxes from it.

This is a city built with human blood!

Treat people as beasts and tie them up and sell them, if they meet Gu Xuan who has just left the capital, they will definitely not be able to see it, and they will be blocked, even if the other party is not of the same race, but a different species, it is a barbarian Rong Di who drinks blood, and he is a demon who often invades the border of Daliang and plunders the people, cattle and sheep and property, he will not agree, he would rather kill the other party directly, and not allow these people to humiliate and treat people as animals.

Even at the beginning, he wanted to include these people in Liangguo, after being educated, as the people of Huangsha County, but people will always change, after going through so much, he is not the child who was full of longing at the beginning and likes to look at things from a good point of view, or he is still full of chasing a beautiful vision, and his ideals have never changed, but in the means of realizing his ideals, he has lowered his bottom line, sometimes, it is necessary to compromise and be ruthless, which has no way.

If he is destined to sacrifice the interests of a few people in order to make the majority have a better tomorrow, then he can do nothing but agree, although he would like to see everyone get their own good.

If the barren Huangsha County wants to gain a foothold here, it needs to develop rapidly, and it must have enough strength to protect itself before the forces of all sides can react, but how can this be done? Then we must start from these ugly aspects.

Coupled with Lu Yi's several persuasions, it is not surprising that Gu Xuan can make such a decision.

The monarchs who have done great things in the past dynasties, and even led the prosperous era, which one will be soft-hearted and indecisive?

Lu Yi just led him to the right path, but he didn't know that it was not him who played a decisive role, but Gu Cang, who was far away in the capital, he had been relying on Tianluo's hands in Youzhou, silently observing everything that happened to Gu Xuan, and occasionally asked his subordinates to secretly send letters, when he went astray, he would relieve Gu Xuan's depression and confusion in his heart and guide him in the right direction.

Even if a person who doesn't trust him says something that is broken, it is not as effective as a word from someone close to him, and that's the truth.

Gu Xuan, who pretended to be drunk here, just to scold those two sentences, was helped down by Jinglong, and Lu Yi took Lu Dengyun in the hall to the courtyard where he was going to stay tonight.

After all, it's night, it's pitch black outside, you can't go if you want to go, this is the border again, who knows what you will encounter when you go out of the city at night, but in order not to delay his trip back to the border army tomorrow, Lu Dengyun did not choose to go to the night market again.

The two walked in the corridor in the backyard of the county government mansion one after the other, Lu Yi deliberately slowed down his pace, and Lu Dengyun, as an outsider, did not know the specific terrain of the mansion, so he could only follow him slowly.

After coming out of the house, Lu Dengyun actually had a stomach full of questions and thoughts, he already knew it, and the other party called him to ask him to help deal with the matter of this material and the imperial court's edict.

He didn't believe that Gu Xuan was a targetless person, he didn't believe that the other party would make up something to deceive him, that didn't make sense, didn't it?

But if so, is that really happening?

Inside Youzhou, would anyone really take the risk of the Nine Clans to seize these things for the sake of the Rakshasa Clan?

What is his purpose?

Who is he?

Or who can do it?

Thinking of this, several names quickly flashed in Lu Dengyun's mind, and he suddenly shook his head violently, as if he wanted to get rid of all these undesirable thoughts.

He's a soldier in Youzhou, he shouldn't have doubted this!

Lanterns hung on both sides of the corridor, but the road ahead was still a little dark.

Lu Yi kept hanging his hands and walked slowly in front to lead the way, but at this time, he suddenly spoke: "General Lu." ”

Lu Dengyun was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he thought he was in the place, and quickly raised his head and said, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Yi's inducing voice came from the front: "Was the general thinking just now, why would someone take such a big risk to seize this batch of materials and the imperial court's edict?"

Lu Dengyun was shocked, and his back instantly cooled, although he didn't know how the other party knew what he was thinking, he still maintained his usual honesty, nodded lightly, and generously admitted: "Yes, does Mr. have any advice?"

Lu Yi suddenly stopped, stood in a dark place where candles could not be lit on either side, and slowly turned around.

Although he was facing Lu Dengyun, the other party could only see a vague black shadow.

Lu Yi chuckled and said: "Because a Rakshasa clan who completely surrenders to Da Liang is not in the interests of Youzhou, and sacrificing some people every year can be exchanged for a steady stream of materials from the imperial court, why not do it?

When Lu Dengyun heard this, his face changed, his eyes widened, and he was already furious, and he just wanted to open his mouth to scold the other party, but considering that it was night, he lowered his voice again, and said sharply: "How can Sir slander the general so insinuatingly? The four generations of the general are loyal and good, and he has been guarding the frontier for the imperial court for many years, tirelessly, hard work, and resentment, how can his vision be so narrow-minded? If you want to talk nonsense and spew blood again, sir, don't blame me for not giving face to the prince!"

He Lu Dengyun is a native of Youzhou, and he is a soldier of Youzhou, the general is a kind of spiritual sustenance for him and the entire Youzhou army, how can he let an outsider slander the general so much?

Lu Yi drooped his eyelids, not caring about the anger of the person on the other side, but continued to mutter in a bland but ironic tone.

"There are many mountainous roads in Shu, although the Shu army is good at fighting but not fighting, a corner of the peace, it is enough, not to mention that the Shu army is mostly infantry, and after coming out of the mountain, it is the live target of the cavalry, what ability can they have to threaten Youzhou, which has two iron horses? Every time the Shu army attacked, it was easy to attack the city and loot it on a large scale, and then my Daliang Imperial Court ordered it to go down, and just sent troops, and immediately got the news, and retreated in a hurry, leaving a mess, General Lu felt that there was nothing greasy about it?"

"Enough!" Lu Dengyun couldn't hold back any longer, shook his hand suddenly, and the lights next to him flickered, finally reflecting the people in the dark.

Seeing this, Lu Yi just hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and then slightly committed himself to him, and said with a smile: "General Lu, the place has arrived." ”

Lu Dengyun only found out at this time that there was an independent small courtyard next to it, and he didn't argue with it anymore, just glared at the other party fiercely, and then held the inseparable tiger head knife and strode in.

Lu Yi looked at the back of the other party's dragon and tiger steps, and suddenly said loudly: "I like the idea of the general dividing his troops to encircle and suppress the Rakshasa clan, and I think it makes sense, if the general figures it out one day, I can guarantee that this idea can be put into practice immediately." ”

Lu Dengyun heard it and pretended not to hear it, but silently walked into the house and closed the door heavily.
