Chapter 244: The Deng Brothers
In the Heavenly Continent, except for those who are dissatisfied with the pursuit of great power, most of them are honest civilians, many of their ancestors were originally devastated by war and displacement in the human world, and they came to the Heavenly Continent because of the guidance of some mysterious people to find a pure land, their ideals are very simple, that is, to be fed and clothed, and live a happy and stable life. Most of the ordinary people of Li who are content with the plain have no combat effectiveness.
However, Xia Yanfeng insisted that the people of Li could be used for themselves to become pawns to conquer the world, because of an idiom called "extremely vicious".
Although the people of Li have no ambitions, but if they are forced to survive, it will stimulate human nature, the so-called "extremely vicious", that is, once people are poor to a certain point, most of those who are unwilling to give in will take risks, and no matter how good people are, they will also have evil thoughts and rebellion. Only such a group of people who have lost even their livelihood security can fight for the war without scruples and live after death, and such a group of people is also the best to instigate, as long as they are given a bite to eat, they will be satisfied with the status quo and be led by their own noses.
"Hehe, it seems to be a burden, but in fact, it is a godsend cannon fodder for me. I'm going to accept this gift!" Xia Yanfeng laughed right away.
Mengyu and Dianle both followed behind Xia Yanfeng, and on the side of the Black Cloud Knights, Xia Yanfeng just sent a captain to take command. Mengyu and Dianle are both very important people to themselves, and their potential is extremely strong, Xia Yanfeng is unwilling to let them take this risk.
"Mr. Xia, there is Dorangan City ahead!" At this time, Kyle, the captain of the Flying Eagles who was opening the way in front, shouted.
"Dorangan City?" Xia Yanfeng looked at Lu Xi, "What is that place?"
"Hmm...... That's a ...... It should be regarded as a poor country, but I heard that the Deng brothers who guarded the city there are quite powerful characters. Lucy thought for a moment and said, "We can disguise ourselves as a caravan and enter the city, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
"No, I'm going to meet the brother general who defended the city. Xia Yanfeng seemed to suddenly have a fighting spirit, or felt that "a very powerful character" was in line with his appetite, and he was inexplicably interested.
Looking at Xia Yanfeng, who began to emit murderous aura in his eyes, Lu Xi hurriedly advised: "No, captain, you can't startle the snake now." Although they were originally Guo Xing's subordinates, they were forced to surrender to Yuan, but we haven't figured out the situation yet, so we rushed into the city, just afraid that there would be a riot nine times out of ten. ”
"Yes, Yanfeng, even if we kill them, the rumor will definitely leak out. Dream Fish also said, "Killing people on other people's territory is equivalent to sending yourself to hell." ”
"Who said I'm going to kill them?" Xia Yanfeng's eyes lit up, "What if they were persuaded by me? What if they surrendered to us, and were used by us, or even when we were in charge?"
"This ...... How can you trust them?" exclaimed Lucy.
"Instinct it. Xia Yanfeng exhaled, "Of course I'm not stupid enough to startle the snake, Kyle and Sessions will lead the Flying Eagles to camp in place, and we will go into the city together." ”
In this way, Xia Yanfeng, Lu Xi, Mengyu, and Dian Le got off the horse, changed into civilian clothes and walked into the dilapidated and desolate old city.
The periphery of Dorangan City can be described as dilapidated, the mottled city wall is almost in disrepair, and the crowd in front of the city gate is also sparse, although it is evening, but it can also be seen how depressed the economy here is, almost comparable to the city of Nate there, Xia Yanfeng has to sigh the level of Zhongguo to govern the state, and he is really strong outside.
But when they entered the city, not only Xia Yanfeng, but even the other three were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The view of the city is particularly distinct, in the middle of the avenue, there is a clear red line all the way through the city, you can not see the edge at a glance, on the right side of the red line is the normal people's activity of residential areas, commercial areas and roads, although the buildings look very old, but the endless flow of people proves that the old city is not a depressed and cold dead city.
What really amazed them was not the city on the right, but the strange area on the left. That place turned out to be ...... Endless farmland!
Rice fields, wheat fields and various crops are mixed together, almost a paradise of hybrid crops, half of the city is completely submerged in a sea of farmland, looking from a distance, a farming scene makes Xia Yanfeng feel an indescribable sense of grandeur. Although he had seen a vast field when he was in the human world, it was the first time he had seen a field that occupied half of the city.
The people working in the fields are not the legendary peasant uncles, and the groups of Zhongguo soldiers wearing black helmets and black armor are neat and uniform, almost like robots, burying their heads at the same time, and rising at the same time, with a clear division of labor, helping each other, and a harmonious scene, not like soldiers born for battle, but like peasants in military uniforms.
And the red line separating the urban area from the farmland area, Xia Yanfeng could also feel the magic fluctuations on it, it was not a line that ordinary people could make. Flipping through the sea of spirits, Xia Yanfeng could confirm that this is a kind of magic array, which is roughly used to separate regions and is manufactured, and its function is not to block people, and this kind of harmless line of humans and animals can last for about a month at a time, but this kind of thankless magic is not capable of being used by ordinary magicians.
"Hehe, Yanfeng, it seems that the brothers of the Deng family are really weird. Lucy laughed curiously.
"Dian doesn't understand, what do you want to do with so many fields? There are only a few soldiers in this city, can you use so much military rations?" Dian Le's rough voice sounded through the black cloth.
Xia Yanfeng smiled slightly: "Okay, his surname is Deng, since he can't reasonably explain the necessity of tuntian in the city, it can only show that this is just their personal preference, they love farming, love the field, so they farm, it's that simple." ”
The other three couldn't understand it, even if they were really obsessed with Zhongguo, it would be crazy to do this, right?
"Old man, where is General Deng now?" Just when the three of them were still immersed in incredulity, Xia Yanfeng casually found an old man passing by and asked.
"Young man, which General Deng are you looking for? The old man said, "Deng Qifeng and Deng Qiyun brothers, I don't know which one you are looking for?"
"I'm looking for both!" Xia Yanfeng said, "I wonder if the old man knows where they are?"
The old man looked at Xia Yanfeng's face suspiciously, and saw that he didn't look like a person with a bad heart, so he spoke: "When you walk to the center of the city, a wide and stretching road will appear in the field, and if you follow that road, you will find General Deng's residence." ”
"Thank you, old man. After Xia Yanfeng thanked the old man, he beckoned the three of them to move forward together.
The road was unimpeded, and the soldiers working in the fields were defenseless as if they didn't see them, so they were let go all the way. On the way, Xia Yanfeng only thought it was funny, these two people surnamed Deng were also generals, they didn't live in the general's mansion, but lived in a thatched house in the middle of the farmland, these are definitely two crazy weirdos with strong personalities!
After walking a short time on the field road, the area in front of him suddenly became clear, and as Xia Yanfeng expected, a simple thatched house appeared in front of everyone's eyes. This thatched hut is small and simple, but it looks very clean, and there are a few roosters crowing in the courtyard, combined with the surrounding rural scenery, it also looks like the standard residence of ordinary rural residents, and it does not look like a place where the general stays, but it has a unique style.
"Excuse me, is General Deng here? Deng Qifeng and General Deng Qiyun are there?" came to the courtyard of the thatched hut, Xia Yanfeng shouted loudly.
"......Squeak" The courtyard door opened, and the figures of two men appeared in front of everyone. The two of them are the generals of Dolangan City, Deng Qifeng and Deng Qiyun.
Both of them are not good-looking, and their appearances are extremely similar, the only thing that can distinguish which of the two brothers is the younger brother is Deng Qifeng's beard, and Deng Qiyun, who has no beard, is more like a cream boy with a yellowish complexion.
The two brothers were all dressed in the simple costumes of ordinary peasants, and if it weren't for the faint aura on their bodies, they wouldn't have seen the slightest bit of generals.
"Excuse me...... How many of you are?" the bearded elder brother Deng Qifeng took a few steps forward, staring up and down at the few people in front of him in surprise with wide eyes.
"Ah...... It's rude, two General Deng, we are ......" Xia Yanfeng stepped forward and arched his hand first, but he was stunned in the middle of his words, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Since you want to surrender them openly and honestly, you must not deceive others, but doing so is undoubtedly a big risk in the next step.
At this moment, Lu Xi's eyes lit up, and when Xia Yanfeng's eyes met, Xia Yanfeng, who had a good heart, suddenly continued: "We are...... Originally, Lord Guo Xing's confidant and former minister, who knew that General Deng was high-spirited and upheld, adhered to the name of loyalty and righteousness, so he came to visit. ”
"Oh, hehe, I didn't think you were also a veteran of Lord Guo Xing? Deng Qifeng laughed.
"Brother, I can't imagine that we are just planting fields, and we are really famous. Deng Qiyun also laughed.
Xia Yanfeng has not seen the two brothers in the list of characters given by Guo Xing, but the two brothers know that they are not idle people just by looking at the low-key but still not losing the aura of others.
The Deng brothers are not as suspicious as Xia Yanfeng, they are bold and hospitable, warm and sincere, they don't think too long-term, they don't think about so many dark sides, so Xia Yanfeng is the right move. Compared with moving out of the signboard of the Human Guild, Guo Xing's banner seems to be more thunderous in the eyes of the Deng brothers. 、
Xia Yanfeng considered the possibility of failure, and the Deng brothers may also have really surrendered to Zhongguo, which is equivalent to giving them a death sentence, but the result is that the Deng brothers have not completely forgotten the existence of Guo Xing, and they do not have the slightest sense of defense, they believe what Xia Yanfeng says, if you think about it, Xia Yanfeng will never believe the other party so easily.
However, they are simple-minded, easy to be fooled, and never suspect people, but it does not mean that they are stupid, in fact, if they start a war, their brains have become brilliant again, and they are not ambiguous!
