After the morning meal, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning.

A team of people appeared in the fields on the outskirts of Yunmeng City, and they marched in the direction of Li Guo.

The armor is bright, and the spears are like a forest.

People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and the king's flag is fluttering.

Farmers working in the nearby fields knelt down facing the procession, not daring to look up.

Their clothes were tattered and old, their heads were gray, and their wrinkled faces were expressionless, like hard, rusty iron. There is no fear or envy in the muddy old eyes, only Mu Ne, only the calm caused by despair, like a pool of silent stagnant water.

If you're going to run, you're going to run early.

As a slave, the world is so big that there is nowhere to live.

A little boy pouts his fingers and looks out at the dusty road.

He was thin, unshoeed, and curious in his large, clear eyes.

The adults hurriedly pressed his little brain.

In autumn, flowers are killed, plants and trees are withered, and the fields after harvest are extremely desolate and deserted.

The water in the fields has dried up early, and the golden rice stubble has turned gray. A pile of cotton was picked clean, and from a distance, the low black and black cotton stalks rose from the ground like a dark cloud with teeth and claws.

Some people are tying sorghum stalks, some people are breaking cotton stalks with their hands, and some people are picking up dry grass, which makes the field show a little vitality. In fact, these things are not easy to burn, and there is no firepower.

Farther away, there are a few people ploughing the fields, seemingly digging sweet potatoes or potatoes and peanuts. The children dragged the bamboo basket to follow, and occasionally jumped up and screamed in surprise, presumably a large one.

"Who are they?" Chu Fan pointed to the field.

Liu Ruofei replied:

"After the landlord has collected this year's rent, he has almost run away, and there are only poor people and slaves left here. Actually, I didn't forbid them to go. But the poor cannot live without a few acres of land, and the slave does not dare to go without the orders of his master......"

Chu Fan raised his palm to stop Liu Ruofei's explanation, and said:

"Since we have inherited the bounty of the land and have been supported by slaves, we should take responsibility for it. Those who flee are not worthy of these acres and slaves. ”

Liu Ruofei was pleasantly surprised:

"I've thought about it a long time ago, just like you. When the war is in full swing, they will be conscripted into the army, rewarded for their military exploits, ransomed for them at the expense of the state, and pardoned for civilians......"

"No, I'm talking about nationalizing these lands directly, pardoning all slaves to become commoners, and not paying their vampire masters. ”

Liu Ruofei thought for a long time and said firmly: "Okay." ”

Chu Fan was happy and asked with a smile:

"Aren't you afraid? In this case, not only will the country attack us, but all the countries in the world will attack us. Because you moved their cheese ......"

Liu Ruofei's face gradually turned red, and she said shyly:

"There is cheese in the north, and fish jelly in the south...... If you're there, people won't be afraid ......"

Chu Fan saw that her face was red, her voice became thinner, and he asked in surprise:

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing...... You just said, we, we...... If Fei is willing to fight the world with the king, he will not regret his broken bones. ”

"Yes, it's us, can't they make it...... Oh, look at what you are talking about, fighting the world? People can crush us to death with a single finger, and I don't even know what the national teacher looks like. ”

Liu Ruofei didn't squeak, hated and hated him, and hummed in her heart, stupid!

Chu Fan was inexplicable, for fear that she wouldn't understand the meaning, and added:

"I'm just talking, you must not be in a hurry, otherwise you will really be the enemy of the world...... However, winter is just around the corner, and I hope that these fathers and elders outside the city will have a fire to roast, clothes to wear, and food to eat...... You see, those little kids don't have shoes...... Is it difficult to do?"

Liu Ruofei calmed down and replied:

"It's not difficult, Ruofei has been preparing for a long time. ”

"Also, I think that the officials and rich families in the city who must leave, you can just let them go, and it will be a disaster to keep them anyway. However, it is important to impose heavy taxes on the transfer of property. Hmph, they have earned wealth in Yunmeng, and they want to take away the gold and silver when Yunmeng is in danger, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world......"

Liu Ruofei chuckled and said:

"Prime Minister Gao's excerpt yesterday is similar to what you said......

"Hehe, that old guy still has some skills, and Li Su's father is much more old-fashioned...... In troubled times, it is necessary to use heavy codes, and if you back down, you may be torn to pieces...... Of course, it also depends on what the situation is, whether it can be done or not. Short-term goals, long-term goals, break them down one by one, and so on...... The New Year was difficult, and guerrillas were dispatched to sweep away the bandits outside the city; I heard that Yunmengze had a big flood every spring, and the spring ploughing should be deployed and prepared as soon as possible. Also, don't eat all the seeds for the winter, hahaha......"

"Hmmm......"

......

There were thirty soldiers in the front and rear of the group of men and horses on the road, and there was a rather imposing two-horse cart and two small carts in the center.

About a mile behind the group, a small carriage followed unhurriedly, with a knight on each side of the guard.

More than half a mile behind the cart, there was a group of strange people, thirteen in all.

Ten men and three women rode horses, dressed in a variety of clothes. There are those who dress up as merchants, those who dress up as Taoist priests, those who dress up as sons, those who dress up as, those who are sisters-in-law and those who are flutes, those who hang knives on their waists, and those who press the jade flute with their hands......

There seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between each other, and they are full of vigilance, and every two people are not close to each other.

The most terrifying thing is the face.

No matter what kind of expression he laughed and scolded, he remained stiff and immovable.

That's — the mask.

It's hard not to have a bad association with a group of masked travelers who carry swords and don't salute.

"Lawless!"

Liu Ruofei's eyes were worried.

She rode a snow-white horse and stood on a small mountain pass more than three miles outside the city. The man next to him rode an ordinary black horse and wore ordinary clothes. In the shade of a tree more than a dozen feet away, two young girls with long swords on their backs looked around vigilantly.

Chu Fan smiled and said:

"They don't have the courage to show their faces, and they don't have the qualifications to show their faces......"

After waking up, another ten days passed, Chu Fan and Liu Ruofei exchanged formations, studied spells, and their strength increased greatly, and they believed that they would dare to fight head-on when they encountered Bai Wuchang.

He could see the flow of mana in the magic weapons and magic circles, and complicated things suddenly became very simple.

Liu Ruofei was originally talented and knowledgeable, and under the guidance, she suddenly opened up and went to the next level.

Although her realm is only in the middle of Ning Gang, she has skillfully raised the magic circle of Yunmeng Inner Palace to a higher level. Even if the monks of the enlightened realm tried to enter quietly, it would not be possible.

Liu Yatou was once ambitious, wanting to arrange the entire Yunmeng City into a big killing array......

Chu Fan resolutely stopped this magnificent project and solemnly admonished:

"The most powerful city is not impregnable, but undefended! even if Yunmeng is transformed into a terrifying fortified city that even the national teacher can't fly into, what's the point?"

The excited Liu girl was poured cold water, and after some calculations, she finally gave up.

According to Yunmeng's spar reserves, it can only support the operation of the large array for thirty days.

So, what about thirty days later?

People don't need to attack in a hurry, stay outside the city for a month and have a picnic, and wait for the magic circle to collapse naturally.

Spar is an ore that is attached to the spiritual veins, full of spiritual energy, and is a hard currency for practitioners to trade. In the world, it is more expensive than gold, and it is difficult to find a stone.

Mortals can use it to invite immortal masters, or they can secretly hide it for day and night edification to prolong their lives. There were once commoners who offered a huge spar to the monarch, and they were immediately named county lords and ate 500 households.

Most of Yunmeng's spars were dug by the national teacher Wei Feng in the depths of the star-picking building, which is not a few. But compared to the cultivation sect or the big country, it is not worth it.

It is a very stupid act to compete with the wealth and power of the wealth and power with this small profit.

Of the more than fifty magic weapons that Liu Yatou took out, Chu Fan repaired more than a dozen, and advanced a few of them, which were even more powerful.

For the rune break and silt, use the spiritual energy connection to open up. If the material is damaged and fatigued, give up decisively.

Chu Da Shen Stick practice makes perfect, and he felt that once he had the right materials, he would be able to make simple magic weapons by himself.

Well, if you only look at the results and don't look at the process, he can be up to half a talisman master, a formation master, a half-nian master, two instrument masters, and a lot of force masters......

The city is barely peaceful, the cangli is so-so, the palace is strengthened, and the strength of the guards has greatly increased.

Yunmeng is developing in a good way.

However, there is not enough time left for it......

Before a major disaster, a minor disaster is just as deadly.

Great chaos is fermenting, brewing a heaven-shattering eruption......

Thirty or forty mysterious powerhouses were peering into the palace.

Chu Fan found that in the dead of night, there were always a few people who sneaked into the palace to search, looking like ghosts, while the guards and palace maids were unaware.

He never told Liu Yatou, for fear of scaring her.

Fortunately, the inner palace magic circle was strong, and those people did not break through.

After listening to it for a few days, Chu Fan finally figured out what was going on.

A month ago, Yunmeng released the news of the "Divine Breath", but instead of inviting the national teacher, he provoked a large group of immortal masters.

However, such anti-heaven treasures as Divine Breath dare not be openly held in their hands unless the first person in the world, Xiaoyaozi, is here, and unless it is a great monk in the realm of tribulation and feathering.

You must know that even Wei Feng, who is of the highest grade in the reincarnation realm, does not dare to speak out.

So this group of immortal masters dressed up as mortals and quietly infiltrated Yunmeng to hit the big luck......

They were rampant and arrogant, entering and exiting the heavily guarded palace like a leisurely stroll, much more powerful than Yunmeng's only worshipping Tong Jin......

Chu Fan listened quietly, sensed, and felt that it was quite controllable.

Those people are no better than Bai Wuchang.

Unexpectedly, the night before yesterday, the severity of the situation suddenly rose to an unbearable level.

A powerful aura flew directly into the inner palace, lingering outside the Star Picking Tower for a long time, and did not alarm the formation.
