Tianhuo Dynasty, Qingping County, Barren Valley.

Originally, this was a place where bandits gathered, and these bandits often went out to rob the people of food and finances, so this place was also deeply hated by the people.

But today, in this disgusting barren valley, a sky-high fire burned out, and even above the sky around here, a large thick cloud of black smoke floated up.

Located outside the barren valley, Lu Chen and the others were here at the moment watching the fire in front of them, and this fire was also burned by them.

"Although the bandits in this barren valley are gone, there are still many bandits in this world. Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Lu Chen shook his head gently.

Now, the court of the Tianhuo Dynasty is corrupt, so that the whole world is in chaos, and the Tianhuo Dynasty doesn't want to care about it at all.

And if you want to survive in the troubled times of such a dynasty, you must understand a truth.

A truth that the strong live and the weak die!

"Soldiers, come with me to carve out our territory. Although we are still very weak now, I believe that one day we will also ascend to the palace!"

For some reason, Lu Chen suddenly said such a thing loudly, and even he couldn't believe that he said it himself.

"I'm willing to follow the lord and open up a great mountain and river!!"

The Jingzhou Bujia and Xiahou Yuan behind Lu Chen also immediately roared in unison.

The roar shook the heavens and the earth, and seemed to disperse the thick black smoke in the sky.

Lu Chen turned around abruptly and looked at the seventy-odd Jingzhou Infantry Armor and Xiahou Yuan behind him.

After coming out of the barren valley, Lu Chen had a full fifty Jingzhou step armor by his side, but of course, the five thousand spirit sources that Lu Chen had just obtained were all used up.

"Since all the soldiers are willing to follow me, then why can't we ascend to the palace in the future!hahaha......" Lu Chen said with a firm face. The desire in his heart to become stronger has also become stronger.

On the other side, Lu Wei, who has always been a "spectator", she also saw Lu Chen's appearance.

"Chen'er, is this the real you......" Lu Wei muttered softly.

She didn't know why Lu Chen had become like this, and she didn't know why so many people were willing to follow Lu Chen.

But she always believes in one thing, that is, Lu Chen will definitely not harm her, and she herself will still be Lu Chen's sister.

......

On this day, Lu Chen did not make such a big move as yesterday, after exterminating the barren valley, Lu Chen led his troops to some villages or small towns to start buying grain.

If you want your sergeants to be able to fight with the maximum strength, food must be an indispensable item in the first place.

And Lu Chen, in the process of purchasing grain, was also approaching Nanxun Town intentionally or unintentionally.

Nanxun Town, here is a military town, in addition, Nanxun Town is also the junction of Qingping County, Shangjing County, Baitu County.

However, although Nanxun Town is close to the surrounding three counties, it is not under the jurisdiction of the surrounding three counties at all, and Nanxun Town is directly under the jurisdiction of Qinghe County, a large southern county of the Tianhuo Dynasty.

Being directly governed by the county town has already proved the extraordinaryness of Nanxun Town. The prosperity of this place has also surpassed that of many small towns within the Heavenly Fire Dynasty.

At this moment, it is sunset.

On the entrance of Nanxun Town, Lu Chen had already come here.

Lu Chen was wearing a more luxurious dress, and he was only sixteen years old, so he also looked like a young master in a big family.

And beside Lu Chen, there were also three people, namely Xiahou Yuan and two Jingzhou Bujia. However, at this time, they were all wearing ordinary clothes and accessories, and they followed closely behind Lu Chen, just like Lu Chen's servants.

"Nanxun Town, it looks good. ”

Lu Chen looked at the streets of Nanxun Town in front of him with a smile, even though it was sunset, there were still many people doing business on the streets.

"My lord, after all, this is a military town, and there is a garrison. Those bandits and rebels will not come here at all, so the people here are doing well. But because we have a garrison, we have to be careful. ”

Xiahou Yuan stood aside and slowly explained to Lu Chen, he still understood these very simple truths.

"Well, this time I came to Nanxun Town, I brought a few of you, just to be careful. Lu Chen nodded lightly.

The remaining seventy or so Jingzhou Bujia and his sister Lu Wei had already begun to camp in the mountains and forests outside Nanxun Town.

And Lu Chen also spent some silver taels to buy a signal flare, if the situation changes, then Lu Chen only needs to ignite the signal flare, then the Jingzhou Bujia outside will naturally kill it as soon as possible.

Let's go find a tavern in the town and rest. ”

Lu Chen hadn't forgotten today's business, that is, he needed to find out the garrison situation in Nanxun Town. And if you want to find out these things, the tavern with a lot of idlers is undoubtedly a good place.

......

Nanxun Town, Haofeng Tavern.

It is the largest tavern in town, with three floors and a capacity of more than 100 people. And even at night, the Tavern won't close.

"Well, yes, that's it. Lu Chen smiled lightly, and then took Xiahou Yuan and them into the Haofeng Tavern.

As soon as Lu Chen and the others entered the tavern, they heard someone slapping the table and talking.

"Bang!"

"What do you know! That Cao Junhou is a real Spirit Martial Realm powerhouse, but even so, he needs to pay a huge price if he wants to kill that red-tailed tiger. ”

"What are you doing as a red-tailed tiger? It's a spirit beast that surpasses the beasts! Compared to the spiritual martial realm powerhouses of our human race, it's not bad at all. Cao Junhou wants to kill the red-tailed tiger, hmph, don't say it's him, even the army below him is estimated to have to pay some price. ”

The man who spoke was an old man, who seemed to be about seventy years old.

However, although his appearance is a little old, now he is excited, as if he has returned to his youth.

"The red-tailed tiger, the spirit beast, comparable to the powerhouse of the Spirit Martial Realm, is a bit interesting. ”

Lu Chen walked slowly towards the old man, and behind him, Xiahou Yuan and the others also followed, as if they were Lu Chen's servants.

"Hmm, a young man dressed in luxury, and a servant to follow, I'm afraid it's not easy. However, he should not be from Nanxun Town, I have lived here for so many years, and I have not seen this young man. ”

Looking at Lu Chen, who came over, the old man also stopped talking to the drinkers around him, because he seemed to have noticed that this young man seemed to be coming towards him.

"Old gentleman, just now I heard the old gentleman say that Cao Junhou wants to kill a red-tailed tiger, and I also think it is a little interesting. Why doesn't the old gentleman continue to talk about it now?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and said politely to the old man.

Hahaha...... I'm just an ordinary old man in this Nanxun Town, how can I see more than Gongzi in the world, and in front of Gongzi, my knowledge is still too short. The old man also had a smile on his face, and he raised his status very low.

After all, in his opinion, Lu Chen is definitely not an ordinary person, and if he can have three servants to follow, his family background is at least quite good.

"The old gentleman is modest, I just passed through Nanxun Town today, and I am a newcomer here. I don't know a lot about the town, and I ask the old gentleman to answer a question or two for me. Lu Chen said, and bowed slightly to the old man.

However, the old man didn't continue to speak at all, he just smiled and looked at Lu Chen, as if he was waiting for something.

"Oh, I see. ”

At first, Lu Chen thought that this old man was unwilling to do something, but then he thought about it, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Come, shopkeeper, bring me the best wine!"

Xiahou Yuan, who was beside Lu Chen, also immediately took out a few taels of silver, and the owner of the tavern immediately went to prepare the wine after seeing the silver.

Hahaha, Childe, although my old man is very ordinary and has no cultivation, I can't understand this Nanxun Town anymore. After all, I've lived here for decades. ”

Seeing that Lu Chen ordered a fine wine, the old man also immediately laughed, and also expressed his incomparable obedience to Lu Chen.
