Lu gently went all the way up, the field of vision became wider and wider, the temperature became lower and lower, the cool clouds and mist became more and more, and the mountain wind became more and more harsh, and finally reached an extremely high altitude, she found that this medicine mountain was really a good place, standing here, the four fields were in sight, even the distant northland could vaguely see an outline, that was the outermost city wall of the new building, and it was also the first line of defense in the north.

This line of defense is almost below the mellow and vast horizon, and the only thing that can be seen clearly is the Tianzhu Peak, which stands majestically and lonely between heaven and earth.

Although you can't peek into the interior of the Northland, you can see the large land from the south to the Northland, the northeast is Qinghu City, the southwest is the ruined city, and there are many large and small cities in the southeast and south, either standing on the plains or deep in the mountains. The terrain and routes between these large and small cities, what are the movements, not to say clearly, but you can also see a general idea.

She thought that this mountain must not fall into the hands of others.

In the past, Shangguo had never sent people to guard it, probably because he didn't think there was anything important here, but with the rise of the Northland, with the emergence of the "mysterious powerhouse", Shangguo's eyes will be attracted to this side, so the important role of this medicine mountain will naturally not be ignored.

She only stood for a moment, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the tips of her hair and eyebrows, which showed how high she climbed in one breath, she walked down slowly, while thinking about countermeasures, it was better to gradually infiltrate this medicine city like dealing with Qinghu City.

However, the medicine city is too xenophobic, and this method will take a long time to work.

Suddenly, she noticed that the weeds under her feet covered the stone pavement, which was so high that there were almost no traces of human walking, but the mountain road was definitely man-made, and it was very old.

She walked a little along the mountain road, through a small patch of jungle, and came across an overgrown patch of weeds, a tattered mud house that was almost submerged by the overgrown weeds and vines.

Have you ever lived here?

Worried that a soft person would encounter danger below, Lu Qingqing did not come forward to investigate, but turned around and went down the mountain in the fastest time, and finally recovered some life force and was about to run out.

The child opened his eyes at this moment: "What's wrong?"

"I went up the hill, very high, and found traces of people living there. She said briefly.

He thought for a moment and said, "It was left behind by humans when the demons invaded here about a thousand years ago. ”

"So long?" Lu said softly.

"After the demons were repulsed, Shangguo was busy concentrating on building the country and developing, and it was gradually abandoned because it was too remote. ”

Lu lightly touched his chin: "The top is too high, there are almost no human tracks, I can build a camp on it, unknowingly, once the Shangguo wants to use troops against the north, it will definitely not escape my eyes, and then from the top to the bottom, the inside and the outside should take the medicine city, plus Qinghu City, I will take the two cities of the Shangguo, even if there is a war, the battlefield can be placed in the territory of the Shangguo." ”

Lu lightly fought from the beginning and was ready to fight to the death with Shangguo, not that there was a deep feud between the two sides, but that one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and she didn't want to be subservient, so she could only pull the upper one down and replace her with herself.

Although the Northland is still weak, it is impossible for the Kingdom to throw the power of the country into the battle, block the battle line from the Northland, and then the two sides will slowly wear out.

"I'll send the message back. ”

There is no need to send a message back to the Northland, there were many deaths and injuries in the Qinghu City earthquake, and the Northland sent people to rescue the disaster, because they wanted to use this to carry out deeper penetration of Qinghu City, this time even the wind was dispatched.

If it weren't for the fact that Qinghu City was too far away, she would have gone directly to Qinghu City instead of coming to Medicine City.

She caught a bird to carry the message, and in the evening, the Northland's officially trained carrier pigeon returned with a reply.

The letter was written by the wind, and he asked her where she was with concern, so that someone could be sent to pick her up, and then he said that Black Snake City - Lu Qing only knew that the city destroyed by the earthquake was called Black Snake City - was destroyed by the earthquake and the people of the city were reduced to slaves, and asked them if they wanted to fight for a group of slaves to come.

Here we will talk about the slavery system in the kingdom.

The slavery system of the upper kingdom is generally only for non-nationals, that is, those tribes, savages, etc., and has formed a relatively late slave production chain for thousands of years, and even the surrounding cities have to pay tribute to several prosperous cities in the center every year, and this number is regulated. This year, it didn't reach that standard.

Speaking of which, this has a lot to do with Lu Qingqing, and her development of the Northland over the years has directly led to the fact that the Northland no longer produces slaves, but allows the surrounding small tribes and tribes to take refuge. Traders generally obtained slaves by capturing and buying them, which made it difficult for them to get slaves in the north.

This year, the number of newly harvested slaves in the entire kingdom has been reduced across the board, so the price of slaves this year is much higher than in previous years.

The situation in Black Snake City was placed in previous years, and it was not necessary for the people of the whole city to be reduced to slaves, but this year, isn't there such a demand, such a group of high-quality slaves should not be in vain, some people will share the cake, and where will they care that these people used to be their own compatriots?

And because nearly 40,000 slaves escaped from prison en masse last year, Qinghu City has a great demand for slaves, and it can be said that it is very qualified to have a reason to buy slaves.

Lu Qingqing immediately decided: buy it, the more the better, her favorite is the population.

She also wanted to go to Black Snake City to see what the situation of the third prince, that is, Li San, was now.

But Xinghua had to come forward in this matter.

She immediately asked the wind to summon Xinghua from the Northland, and she also planned to leave for Qinghu City.

Soft opened his eyes from a day of meditation, his eyes were slightly dark, there was no problem with his body, but after all, it was only a small part of the original real body, the function was not so perfect, while the energy was increasing, on the one hand, it was getting stronger and stronger, and on the other hand, it would be more and more unstable, even if there was no transformation this time, something would happen sooner or later, if you want to solve this problem, I am afraid that the only way to solve this problem is to fuse more essence and blood.

He hadn't calculated this before, but he couldn't help it, after all, he was also the first time he had died and been reborn, and he had no experience. And because of the strength of the Chongming Bird Clan, there are still few birds that have been so badly injured that they need to be reborn once, so there is nothing to learn from in the inheritance memory.

Lu understood at a glance, she didn't ask anything, just smiled and said, "Tired, eat something and sleep, someone will come to pick us up in the middle of the night." ”

This time it was not the big white eagle that came to pick them up, but the black gold eagle that was more stable and strong, and it was easier to hide in the night. The cold wind blew wildly on their faces, but the two of them didn't feel cold at all.
