That Taoist priest is Li Siyun, the head of the Fuhuo Dao.

He got up from his seat and saluted: "General Xiong, we lack everything in the earthen fort, that is, there is no shortage of guys who hunt ghosts and demons." If the Living Hades Fu Human Bone is an authentic necromancer, I can't do anything about him, but he is actually not a necromancer, but a witch and ghost mage, specializing in crooked ways. And the corpse controlled by the hematoma snake and the scales is no different from the demon. Exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts, and taking demons to eliminate demons are exactly what we bull-nosed people are capable of. In the earthen fort, I used a large number of magic weapons to arrange the two large arrays of 'Eight Gates of Life and Death' and 'Pixiu Mirror Shadow Knot', whether it is a poisonous corpse or a demon, they will die at the touch of it, plus the earth fort is strong and the firearms are powerful, so they can't attack it for a long time. ”

Xiong Zhuang Zhuang said: "Male yellow dog blood, incense candles and purple charms are not commonly used, why is there so much inventory in the earth fort?"

Ma Zhenyang, who sat down with him, looked embarrassed and said: "My lord, more than a month ago, Xiaomin's beloved wife died for no reason, Xiaomin became ill with grief, it was difficult to sleep all night, and he would have nightmares when he slewed. So he specially invited the head of the Fu Huo Dao to do a great ritual for the small people, in order to ward off evil spirits and dispel disasters, and surpass the undead. Fu Huo Dao Chang explained to Xiao Min to purchase all kinds of things, and Xiao Min thought that when he might use it again in the future, in order to save trouble, he was greedy for cheap, and he bought everything ten times more than one hundred times. Only the black dog's blood was not easy to preserve, and it was temporarily collected in the slaughterhouse in the east of the city. ”

Yun Tianjia frowned and said: "The magic circle can block the ghost of the human bones of the Death Gate Fu and the poisonous corpse of the Shocking Snake Xuanscale, but it has no suppressive effect on the Wounded Gate Dugu You. Dugu You, who is above level ninety-two soul killer Luo Xiuwei, is by no means a mediocre person. If he had been able to make a quick decision before, and a person would have personally attacked and destroyed the magic circle, and then let the rune bones and snake scales follow behind, the earth fort would have collapsed in an instant, and it would not have been able to hold it for so long. ”

Ji Wenyuan, Sun Mengxuan, Rang Yongzhi, Li Siyun, Ma Zhenyang and other leaders in the fort all changed color when they heard the words.

Gong Luoluo said: "That's not right. This method is not complicated, how could the people of the Three Murder Gates not think of it? From the time the earthen fort was surrounded to the time we arrived, and a few days had passed, why did they not break through it?"

Ji Wenyuan said: "By the way, when we joined forces with the Zhaoyao Army to suppress the enemy, Dugu You was injured. A few days ago, the Spiritualist Sect attacked Hanyuan County, and I didn't see him, so he should have joined in the late stage of the siege of the earth fort, he just joined, and you arrived later, and he didn't have time to attack the earth fort in order to stop you.

In fact, I have always been afraid of his threat, and in order to deal with him, I specially trained 150 musketeers, 150 crossbowmen, and 30 artillerymen.

It's a pity that during the defense of the city, my musketeers, crossbowmen, and artillerymen lost more than a third, and we didn't wait for him to appear. It's also fortunate that he didn't show up, otherwise the earthen fort might not be able to hold it. During the day, I watched him fight against Lord Yun, and I realized that he was so terrifying. If Lord Yun hadn't come, we would have lived for a few more days, it's hard to say. ”

Yun Tianjia waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about this." Now that Dugu You, Fu Renbone, and Snake Xuanlu have all been injured, they should not dare to attack again. Even if we attack, we don't have to be afraid of him. More than 4,000 of us are locked up here, food is limited, and it is difficult to get water, and within a few days, we will all die of thirst and starvation. ”

The head of the household, let Yongzhi say: "There are about half a year's rations for 200 people in the fort, and 4,000 people can save some food, and they can last about ten days." There are four wells, so there is no problem with drinking water. ”

Yun Tianjia frowned and said: "It is necessary to prevent the three murderers from poisoning the trench, and then the poisonous juice seeps into the well." You told everyone that in the future, drinking water must be tested for poison first. ”

Let Yongzhi nod and said, "I'll ask someone to do it." ”

Yun Tianjia continued: "You should also pay more attention to hygiene. When going to the toilet, you need to bury the filth. The fort is a small place, with a large number of people, and if you are a little sloppy, it is easy to spread epidemics. ”

"What the lord said is extremely true!" let Yongzhi immediately instruct his subordinates to handle it properly according to his words.

Ji Wenyuan said worriedly: "Lord Yun, if after ten days, Lord Wang Yuting has not moved in to rescue the troops, then how should we deal with it? The few dozen or so people he brought with him alone may not only not be able to relieve our siege, but if he is not careful, he will also put himself in." ”

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, so we can only wait and see what happens, and observe it for a day or two. Yun Tianjia turned his head to Ma Zhenyang and said, "Ma Yuanwai, why did you think of building such an earthen fort in the first place?"

Ma Zhenyang said cautiously: "Lord Huiyu, in the small family, the ancestors have been trading for three generations, mainly dealing in tea, silk, well salt, shochu, brown sugar, saltpeter gunpowder and other commodities, which are exported to the South to the Crescent Empire and the Tail Fire Country, and sold to the East Mu Country to the east. We do business, careful budgeting, thin floating wealth, the most afraid is the thief is worried, so from my grandfather's generation, there is a plan to build a fortress, but this project costs a lot, until I have it, it took more than five years, slowly built it. ”

Xiong Zhuangzhuang joked: "So it is really a lot of wealth for horse riders. I don't know how much gold and silver is buried under the earthen fort?"

Ma Zhenyang blushed, bowed his head and said, "Not much, not much, you can't get into the eyes of the general!"

Xiong Zhuangzhuang laughed and said, "Don't worry, no matter how much gold and silver you have, it's all yours." Today, your earthen fort saved everyone's lives, and everyone owes you a great favor. In the future, if anyone dares to worry about your family's property, it will be against us. I'm the first to refuse!"

Ma Zhenyang's buttocks slipped, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, your lords, for your kindness!

Xiong Zhuangzhuang smiled and pulled Ma Zhenyang up, and said, "Don't be polite outside the horse, be your rich man with peace of mind!"

Yun Tianjia suddenly asked, "You just said that among the commodities you trade, there is also well salt?"

Ma Zhenyang was startled, his legs were sifted with chaff, sweat was like rain, and he snorted: "This...... This one...... Well salt is a public-private joint venture......"

Salt and iron are bulk commodities, not only highly profitable, but also strategic military materials, which have always been monopolized by the imperial court and managed by special institutions. Ma Zhenyang mined well salt for sale, and was suspected of digging the corner of the country.

He didn't know the details of Yun Tianjia, he was afraid that Yun Tianjia would pick a bone in the egg and be held responsible, even if he had ten mouths, he couldn't say it clearly, and he was very frightened in his heart.

The head of the household, let Yongzhi say: "Master Yun Mingjian, Hanyuan County is located inland, too far from the sea, and the transportation is inconvenient, so all you eat is well salt dug in the mountains. The investment in salt mining is huge, the profits are meager, and the government cannot afford to undertake it, so it usually selects some powerful businessmen to join forces with the government. Ma Yuanwai is one of our biggest partners. ”

Yun Tianjia smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic outside the horse, I'm just asking casually." Since you have the ability to dig wells and dig salt, there should be a lot of people under your command who know how to dig tunnels, right?"

Ji Wenyuan, the head of the soldiers, his eyes lit up, and he said, "What do you mean by your lord......"

Yun Tianjia smiled slightly.
