On the outskirts of the imperial capital, in a valley.

Wildflowers are abundant, and miscellaneous trees are shading. In this midwinter season, it is like spring and summer, and the warm breeze is warm. In the distance, the black rocks of Cangshan Mountain, and the murmuring water in the distance, a small stream runs through the valley. On the flat ground on both sides of the river, wheat and vegetables are planted, and melons and fruits are fragrant, which is a pastoral scenery.

At the exit of the valley, there are two thatched houses, which look like they are stacked in a mess on the outside, as if they are abandoned, but when you get closer to the inside, you can find that there is a hole in the sky, which is actually golden and splendid, just like another space, and the layout is extremely exquisite.

And from the thatched house into a mile or two, across the countryside, is a row of wooden archways, from a distance, there is a taste of depression, it looks like it has been many years.

Entering these rooms and carefully looking at the layout inside is simply jaw-dropping, and the most prosperous restaurant in the empire can hardly compare to the prosperity of this.

There is an air of luxury that is grossly inconsistent with the appearance, making this valley seem very different.

In the largest wooden archway in the village, at this time, there were only three people sitting upright, all dressed as old farmers, and the exit was even more amazing. The old man opened his mouth and said: "The chaos of the empire will begin, and the Xin family's position of the demon clan this time, I am worried." An old man on the side echoed: "Ten thousand years ago, we were the main force against the demons, but now, we have become the biggest traitors, which is really ironic. On the other side, the old man said helplessly: "It's just because this time the demon clan is menacing, and after ten thousand years of Taoguang cultivation, people have made great progress, and we even have become immortal-level medicine even martial god powerhouses, and the only few of them are still fighting on the Tianyuan battlefield, and their strength is far less than one of the hundred thousandths of ten thousand years ago, if we start a war rashly at this time, we will be sent to death." In three years, nothing can be accomplished, and crops cannot be planted if they are crammed temporarily. ”

Yes, this is the secret base of the Imperial Sacrifice House.

And the three old peasants are the three elders with the most power in the current Imperial Sacrifice Academy, except for the ancestors of the Xin family.

......

In the southwest corner of Kuncheng, in an unnamed mountain villa, two strong men at the commander level are pushing cups and changing lamps, but outside the door, there are ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the guard is strict, as if this is a military base with a very high security level.

"It is rumored that the Empire is about to reopen the Tianyuan Battlefield, should we ask Ying to fight again this time?"

"I also want to go to a fight, but the cuckoo has come back with a message that this battle may be difficult to fight. ”

"Why?"

"The one in power in the Xin family has made a choice, this time it may be earth-shattering, the relevant information is full of weirdness, I don't know what the ending will be, the cuckoo strongly recommends that we not ask Ying to fight again. ”

"How could this be?!"

"Can you guess what choice the Xin family will make?"

"After 10,000 years, the white horse has passed through the gap, how many strong people are there in my human race?

"You mean, the Xin family has to choose..."

"Shhhhh ”

"In that case, I think it is necessary to strengthen the cuckoo's side. ”

"I feel the same way, you go and arrange it. In the past two days, I feel that the barriers to cultivation have been loosened, and I want to retreat, hurry up and break through, and have a hard time in everything. ”

"Don't worry, big brother!"

......

In the study room of the inner mansion of Dragon City, the city lord was playing against an old man, and the originally solemn city lord's mansion was under high martial law at this time. The city lord played a chess piece, and the old man on the opposite side pointed to the board, but said a whole way out of the board: "Look at this board, at this time, the middle game is divided into two points, and the situation is difficult to understand, but this one suddenly takes care of the interests of the corners, reflects each other, and forms a general trend." Just like the world today, the Xin family has a very big foundation, but in the face of the attack of the demon clan, this situation is like the situation of my son, and it suddenly becomes not good. ”

"The teacher praised it falsely, but then again, this kind of little thing from the earldom can make people so amazing, although it is a strange skill, but it is really difficult to master it without spending energy, and for this reason, my government affairs are a bit wasted. ”

"It looks like a small road, but it is a hidden road. Extraordinary indeed!"

"I'm getting more and more interested in this county. ”

"Of course, the situation in the empire at this time will last for two years at most, and during this time, if there is no good improvement in Dragon City, the imperial capital will definitely come to replace you, is it too much for Taoguang to raise obscurity?"

"What the teacher said was that the students were taught. ”

......

At the city defense of Flying Tiger City, two people at the highest city tower were staring side by side at the outside of the fortress.

The bearded man in his left hand said angrily: "Look at the majestic weather of the desert, just like the trend of the world, we are waiting to block this Flying Tiger City, as small as a grain of sand in the Hanhai, and it was annihilated only in an instant, the demon clan has attacked, and the news has been confirmed." Before the general trend rolls, we are as fragile as grains of sand. ”

"You and I walked on the battlefield of this horse leather shroud, and we didn't think about a good death, why bother to be so anxious, strengthen the elite soldiers we have trained, and prepare for the upcoming troubled times, and it is not in vain that we can catch up with this best era in the eyes of soldiers. On the other side, a white paper student advised at the right time.

Suozhan Li City, Shangge City, Great Emperor City, Ice City, Mingxing City, and Yicheng Similar scenes are constantly happening, and the movement of the world is about to be chaotic, and the people who are at the peak of the empire's power have already felt it.

The battle between the open and the secret has begun, and preparations have begun.

Ma County, Yang County, Xin County, Baitu County, Heitu County, Shangli County, Zhongli County, Xiali County, and Dirk County are also in the nine counties, and there is a lot of tension.

All kinds of war materials of the empire were suddenly hoarded among the ten cities and nine counties, and the prices of goods rose sharply.

The counts outside the ten cities and nine counties shined in this process, and the logistics channels they built themselves, as well as caravans, not only spread all over the Khasa Empire, but also extended to any country on this continent, in just one month, this extremely powerful logistics capacity made them make a lot of money in the face of the terrible situation of the apocalypse.

Ansanger was almost counting the money until his hands cramped. And this is still the bill of exchange after they opened the exchange, not the purple gold coin, if it was a purple gold coin, how could he count them one by one.

At this time, the price of grain rose every day, and at the beginning, a purple gold coin could still sell a hundred tons of grain, but with the preparation of major cities, this grain rose to the sky-high price of a ton of grain in less than a month, and many ordinary people have already run out of food.

After a month-long accumulation of the nationwide food shortage crisis in the Kasa Empire, the household department did not adjust in time, so that this panic broke out, and more and more cities and counties were ruthlessly trampled on by the disgrace of their prestige if they could not solve the food ration problem well.

The credibility of the imperial family has seriously declined, and the lack of food and food has appeared, forcing some people, including samurai sacrifices, and the beginning of the chaotic world has finally appeared in the empire.

In the troubled times, in order to survive, the law of the jungle of survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle has finally descended on this peaceful country for thousands of years.

So much so that everyone shouted: It is better to have a good body than to have a good martial arts.

Of course, it is not easy for those wealthy families to rob at this time, and they also hired quite powerful bodyguards to protect the courtyard at this time, strictly guarding their property and not being embezzled by others.

The gap between rich and poor is widening.

There is a tragic portrayal of frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, and it suddenly appeared in the Khaza Empire.

Public order has deteriorated in an instant, and many sections of the road that are usually peaceful and quiet have seen the emergence of groups of road bandits and strongmen. The prosperity of business was immediately targeted by all those who were forced to rebel.

Incidents of murder and overselling are endless.

Many small businesses were forced to close, the empire's circulation boom shrank, and the economy that had just risen was becoming depressed because of this chaotic social order.

The price of goods in short supply in the market rose instantly, and the prices of various prices, which were originally balanced, soared for a while, and the common people immediately complained.

As a last resort, the royal family dispatched a purging team, but unexpectedly, they promoted the three major bandits, occupied the important passages of the empire in one fell swoop, and demanded tolls from the open fire.

The empire was furious and dispatched the main force to exterminate it, and after the first battle, these bandits not only did not eliminate them, but became more arrogant, and for a while, the Khasa Empire suddenly became a miasma.

According to the grapevine, some families are involved in these bandits, waiting for dividends.

Murder and arson of gold belts, businessmen chase profits, how can robbery come quickly, there is no profit.

Past merchants must comply unconditionally.

However, caravans in counties are exceptional.

It's just because all the trade routes now point to the county, and if the county closes the trade route because of this group of lawless bandits, they will starve to death.

This group of bandits understands the truth better than others.

It seems that the county does not have much reputation, and is nicknamed a deserted land by the empire, but in this war of shopping mall line security, it finally has the last laugh.

For this reason, Xin Yue specially opened a special channel for the county to various places, and in order to save costs, he simply entrusted these bandits to participate in them and set up a new trade route transportation team.

Because of the participation of the new means of transportation in the county, these people instantly saw a bright avenue, usually fighting and robbing, and they could still run and transport in their spare time, and their lives couldn't be better.

For this reason, Xin Nuo threatened Xin Yue to immediately disband the caravan. Xin Yue was very obedient, but it was suspended for three days, and the soaring prices in various places forced all kinds of turmoil to break out in ten cities and nine counties. Now it's good, everyone began to make trouble, the law does not blame the public, Xinnuo finally felt the seriousness of the situation, and did not expect that a small business road actually contained the foundation of the stability of the empire.

This made Xinnuo's heart tremble, and he watched the constant pressure from all over the country put pressure on him, which provoked Xinnuo to go back on his word and order the opening of the trade route again. However, an additional condition was added for Xin Yue to increase the amount of grain transported.

This regulation has simply opened the fast pace of the county to make money quickly, before, they were cautious, for fear of angering the empire, and directly banned their business routes, but now it is good, this is equivalent to having a legal business license, now it is terrible, Ang Sange is smiling every day.

He can often be heard muttering, "This grain is so fucking profitable!"

In the palace, Xin Nuo has long been disheartened because of the ancestor of the Xin family, and he has turned a blind eye to this situation.

He knew that the empire was now rising, and the various families were waiting for a golden opportunity, and he was also committed to suppressing the major families to ensure balance, so as to weigh the absolute leadership of the imperial family.

But now, on the eve of the Demon threat, everything is out of control, his power is hollowed out, and the empire is sliding in a chaotic direction that he feels terrified.

Uncontrollable things, always terrifying.

It's a personal experience, with a bloody experience.

The gate lords, taking advantage of the previous family advantages, are recruiting samurai and sacrifices on a large scale, and each family has officially begun to raise private soldiers, which is difficult to contain. In particular, the three major bandits were rampant on the main trade routes, and the empire's unsuccessful clean-up made the various families feel frightened, completely ignoring the laws of the empire, and began to carry out it blatantly.

Of course, in the middle of this, it cannot be ruled out that someone did it deliberately, besides, it is rumored that among the three major gangs, there is a deep family strength.

When the ancestor of the Xin family decided to make a move on the earl, Xin Nuo saw the terrible consequences, once the earl was forced to be urgent, it was definitely a chicken and egg beating, I don't know what nerves this old immortal had after coming back, since he was mysterious recently, Xin Nuo always felt that something bad was happening.

However, he only felt that he didn't know that this old immortal had secretly allied with the demons and was preparing to kill the resistance forces on this continent.

The strong rise of the county, although it is a good thing for the empire, is an uncertain factor for the demons who are about to descend on this planet, and it must be eradicated.

He is in a complicated mood now, both helpless and frustrated, and even more inexplicably excited.

This excitement corresponds to the current situation, and he despises the ancestor of the Xin family in his heart. You have acted so recklessly, making the earl's tail too big and completely out of control, coupled with the fact that the current situation is so chaotic, bandits are rampant, civil strife breeds, and you don't want to make progress, but you come to rob me of power, intending to overthrow me, I want to see how you old guy can clean up this mess?

He's gloating.

What you can't get, at this time, I have a haunt in my heart, and I actually have a mind that it has nothing to do with myself, and he is still in the royal family, less domineering, and more of a nest, what a heartless guy. If the ancestors of the Xin family knew that one of their descendants was actually in their throne and had such an idea, it was estimated that they would be able to wake up alive from the ancestral tomb.

The current situation in the world, at this time, the atmosphere of chaos has risen, and it is impossible to be calm anymore.
