Ten days later, the north gate of the new city was also on top of the main gate tower facing the official road, which was hundreds of meters high from the ground! On this day, the sunny, hot sun shrouded the whole city of Penzes from the morning, and the whole city was like a steamer, and the newly paved smooth stone slabs, where the sun had been scorching, felt hot when you touched it!

In this kind of ghost weather, except for those who have to go out, no one wants to step out of the house, and the round and big sun is so big that people can hardly open their eyes, so it is a great pleasure to be able to stay at home and drink the sour plum soup in the cellar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But at the north gate of the new city, hundreds of people gathered at the door, looking up at the black clay pot on the top of the 100-meter-high city tower, all of them were terrified! Pointing at the clay pot, many timid people were so frightened that they quickly got up and left when they saw it. More people are speculating and discussing, who is it, and what mistakes have been made to be punished like this?

As we all know, Lord Ling Xiao, the lord of Penzes City, is definitely a kind and good person!

This is the consensus of the 100,000 people of Penzes City: the lord is an unprecedentedly good man! I have never seen any nobleman treat the people in his territory like the lord!

In the first year, they need to hand over half of the income from the land planted by the lord, and if the land is destroyed by a natural disaster, the lord will also take out food from his own inventory to help them, and at the same time provide them with seeds for the second year for free.

This is unbelievable to those civilians who have never owned land, it is like a dream! Is this true? Is it really that the lord is so merciful?

There are always those who are bold, and they tried it, and it turned out that it was really just like the city lord Mo Qing preached, someone suffered a torrential rain on the land last year, which led to the extinction of production, and indeed received relief food and seeds this year from the city lord's mansion!

What makes the people of Penzes City even more excited is that this year, those who cultivate the land of the lord in Penzes City only need to hand over one-tenth of their income!

This move was even condemned by all the nobles in the whole empire! Because in their respective territories, a large number of poor people began to flee to the side of Penzes City, and Li Fo and Mo Qing did not stop this phenomenon at all, nor did they communicate with those nobles. Anyway, there is a large area of barren land outside the city of Penzes, and as long as those people are industrious, whoever cultivates it will be his!

Therefore, the population of Penzes City has increased dramatically, from about 200,000 people in the past to more than 500,000 people now! And Penzes New City has also become an out-and-out big city! The current Penzes City is even more prosperous than the imperial capital!

In the new city of Pengzes, there is also an inner city, the city wall of the inner city is not high, only a dozen meters, and there is only one city gate in the inner city, on which are written two dragons and phoenixes dance big characters "Shu Mountain", no one understands what those two words mean.

Anyway, the people living in the inner city are all the lords and his soldiers, and some people have seen the inner city, the buildings are ordinary and single, and they are not even as attractive as the places where the residents live, and over time, no one is interested in the inner city.

But the clay pot that suddenly appeared at the main gate of the new city today, the clay pot is very thin, even if it is a half-old child, it is difficult to get in, and it is ...... The clay pot was not big, only more than half a meter high! It contained an old man, only his head exposed.

It is conceivable that the man's limbs must be gone! Although he has been dead for a long time, there are some adventurers in the crowd with a little strength, and their eyesight is relatively strong, and they can clearly see the hideous expression on the old man's face, which looks extremely painful, and although he has been dead for a long time, he seems to be able to sense the anger on his body from a distance of 100 meters!

For a while, people were full of curiosity and speculation about the lord who almost never appeared in the inner city. Especially the newcomers who came here couldn't help but say, "Oh my God, what a cruel punishment, it seems that the city lord here is really a cruel person!"

His words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, and some people immediately glared at him angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Do you know the lord? Damn, I will talk nonsense about you to beat the city of Penzes! The lord is the best person in the world! That person must have committed a heinous crime, and he must be a great evil person, so he will be punished like this!"

The man didn't expect that his casual remarks would cause others to besiege him, he was also an adventurer himself, and he had the strength of a middle-level great swordsman, so he naturally wouldn't let anyone insult him, and glared at that person angrily: "This lord is your own father, how do you know that person must be a wicked person? What mistake did he make? Even if it is a crime, he should not be abused like this! And put it there to show the public!"

This person didn't expect that his words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and few people had paid attention to him just now, as soon as he said this, at least dozens of people suddenly looked at him coldly, and then there was a person whose aura was obviously stronger than him, frowning and saying coldly: "Shouldn't you be abused like this?" If someone kills your family, burns your house and takes away your property, rapes your woman, and then destroys your family...... I don't know, you still don't say such things! If you want to show your existence, it's better to see where you are first! As an adventurer, don't you understand the truth that if you say too much, you will lose?"

When this person spoke, a strong pressure kept suppressing this outsider, and after he finished speaking, he ignored him and turned around and entered the city, this person was Meng Li, who had just returned from the imperial capital.

Seeing that someone said bad things about Ling Xiao, Meng Li, who has always cherished words like gold, originally wanted to teach this person a lesson, but after thinking about it, forget it, young master, he must have a reason to do this, but he didn't expect him to say a prophecy and give the evidence of the Sword Emperor of the Fold Family.

The foreign adventurer came back to his senses half a day after Meng left, and broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that it was no wonder that people said that Penzes City was no longer the Penzes of the past, the strong man was like a cloud, and the great swordsman was in Penzes City, and he might not even be as good as a city gate guard, originally he didn't believe it, but a casual and seemingly ordinary person in the crowd could exert that coercion that almost made him collapse, this Penzes City ...... It seems that it is better to be honest.

I don't know how many times this kind of thing happened on this day.

Once someone doubts that the lord is too vicious, someone will immediately refute him, if he wants to use force, a group of uniformed soldiers will immediately appear out of nowhere, all like wolves and tigers, and hell, they all have the strength of no less than the great sword master!

In any case, in the eyes of ordinary people, or those adventurers and mercenaries, the person at the head of the city may just be a villain, but this Penzes City has long become the favorite metropolis of the hidden family sect, and the high-level sword emperor of the Zhe family was recognized on the first day!

If Ling Xiao's move is said to have a fierce name in the hearts of many ordinary people, but in the eyes of those who hide the family sect, it has caused an uproar!

For a while, countless communicating falcons rushed into the sky along the city of Penzes!

What is he going to do?

This question appeared in the minds of all the people in the hidden family sect who got the news.

There is another idea, that is, Ling Xiao's courage...... Really, it's so fucking big!

What kind of strength did Ling Xiao have? How dare he so blatantly and openly argue with a first-class family? Could it be that he was absolutely sure of victory?

These questions simply make those people from the family have a feeling of being unable to sleep!

It wasn't until three days later that a huge proclamation was posted on the tall walls of the north gate of Penzes!

There are a few words above, to the effect that it is like this: Zhejia, back then, you destroyed my Ye family and the Su family, and thousands of people were all over the house! The old and weak women and children were all alive, and after killing them all, they set fire to them and burned them all, do you think that no one knows what happened back then? But there is no endless road, the Ye family and the Su family had a population of thousands back then, and I lived alone for nearly 20 years, and finally today, I want to ask you for money and kill you, the fourth-order sword emperor...... Just, a start!

This notice is like throwing a boulder into the already turbid water, setting off a stormy wave again!

Those ordinary people who originally thought that Ling Xiao's methods were ruthless suddenly understood the lord's approach, and it was obvious that the lord was avenging others! Because the above mentioned was the Ye family and the Su family.

Although for some reason, the Ye family and the Su family were wiped out, but this method is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people, what is cruelty, this is the real cruelty!

Although there is a saying about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, it is really necessary to exterminate thousands of people, and not everyone can do it.

After reaching the ears of those people in the hidden family sect, they all suddenly understood that the tragedy of the Su family of the hidden family back then shocked all the other hidden families and sects for a long time, and even felt that everyone was in danger. After nearly 20 years, people have come back for revenge, let alone killing one of you, even if you kill ten hundred of the Zhi family, no one will think it is too much.

When you do the first year of junior high school, you have to allow others to do the fifteenth.

When the people were full of extermination, why didn't they expect that people would come back one day to take revenge?

In the western part of the Blue Moon Empire, General Ling Tianxiao's military camp on the shore of Wees Lake, Ling Su and Ling Tianxiao, as well as hundreds of Ling Tianxiao's henchmen, accompanied by Tiger, secretly rushed to the side of Penzes City.

In the north, Chakna, the fief of the Ling family, the bearded Ling Zhi shouted at a group of fierce subordinates after receiving a letter in his hand: "Okay! Let's leave this damn place from today!

In the imperial capital, Ling's Mansion, late one night, after explaining some things to the housekeeper, Mrs. Ling took Ling Yun'er and sat on the clown who came to pick them up, all the way to the south.

Also in the imperial capital, Huang Puyue and Isha both frowned, looking at a handwritten letter from Ling Xiao, Huang Puyue smiled a little helplessly and said, "Isa, why don't you ...... Besides, those people are targeting Ling Xiao, and you are Ling Xiao's woman, everyone knows it, but I'm different, I'm just his partner, so I don't think there's any need to make such a fuss and go back!"

Isha took a deep look at Huang Puyue, the two have been working together for more than a year, and they can be said to know each other quite well, Isha knows Huang Puyue's personality very well, if she doesn't have Ling Xiao in her heart at all, it is definitely a lie, but Huang Puyue seems to be very unacceptable to the phenomenon of a group of male wives and concubines, so she would rather stay away from Ling Xiao and be an ordinary friend with him.

But...... Everyone knows about this, but outsiders, do they also know? Isha said softly: "Don't talk about others, just say that Ulanto, sister thinks...... What does Ulanto think of your relationship with Brother Ling Xiao?"

Huang Puyue's expression stiffened slightly, and she said casually: "Don't mention this name, I feel disgusted when I hear it!"

It turned out that after Ulanto learned that Huang Puyue had come to the imperial capital, the heart that had been dead for most of the time came alive again, because all kinds of signs showed that Huang Puyue and Ling Xiao seemed to have some kind of agreement in secret, and not as many people speculated, the two were a couple. In this case, there is still a marriage contract between the two, although the Huangpu family has become bigger and bigger in the past two years, but the Ulan family is not in vain, the big family that can be passed down for thousands of years, even if there is no too strong person, how can there be no little heritage? Moreover, the Ulan family belongs to Li Wuzhi's line, Li Wuzhi ascended to the throne of God, and the Ulan family naturally rose to the top, and moreover, it is also secretly leaning on a hidden family!

This is a historic moment for the Ulan family! Because from ancient times to the present, for thousands of years, the Ulan family has not been able to talk to the hidden family, although they are dignitaries in the secular world, but in the eyes of the hidden family, it is not worth mentioning at all, people directly talk to the imperial power, and you are a nobleman, there is nothing to say at all.

Unexpectedly, such a freak as Ling Xiao appeared in the secular world, completely disrupting the order that had been quiet for many years, and those family sects that almost never interacted with the secular world were also active, and the Ulan family caught up with ...... Still a big fish!

Purple River ...... Fold!

The reason why the Zhe family suddenly found the Ulan family to cooperate was because the Zhe family learned of the grievances between the Ulan family and the Ling family, they also need to have eyes and ears in the secular world, and following the theory that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the Zhi family took the initiative to find the Ulan family and concluded an alliance!

Of course, this covenant is like a joke, and the Zhi family can tear it up at any time, but at the beginning of the cooperation between the two families, the Zhi family naturally gave the Ulan family a lot of benefits, for example, sending four strong men with the strength of the Sword Sect to garrison the Ulan family, accept the dispatch of the Ulan family's head Ulan Xiong, and help coordinate and solve all problems!

This made Wu Lanxiong's jaw almost drop with laughter, thinking in his heart, the opportunity for revenge has finally come! Since Ling Xiao was born, the Wu Lan family has been unlucky, and now it is finally good, and it is about to turn over!

With the same idea, there is naturally Wulan Xiong's son Ulan Tuo, Young Master Ulan feels that his waist is stiff, and he can already argue with Ling Xiao! No matter how powerful you Ling Xiao is, my Ulan family is not bad!

Therefore, Ulanto would go to the Ling Auction House to entangle Huangpuyue if he had nothing to do, and Ulanxiong also connived at his son's behavior, and even asked a strong man with the strength of the Sword Sect to follow and protect his son every day. The Sword Sect of the Fold Family knew about the grievances between his family and the Ling family, so he would not refuse at all for this kind of thing that could bully people related to the Ling family.

In this way, Ulanto is even more arrogant to the extreme, and Huangpuyue is so annoyed that he hasn't appeared in the auction house for a long time.

After receiving Ling Xiao's handwritten letter, Isha kept asking Huang Puyue to leave here with her, otherwise, the Ulan family might not know what to do, the Ling family and the Zhe family have now completely torn their faces, so how could the Zhe family, as a great family sect, not react at all?

So, a big war, on the verge of breaking out!

And the strong men of the Sword Sect around the Wulan family, as well as the forces behind their high-profile propaganda from the Zhe family, all kinds of signs show one point: if Huang Puyue continues to stay in the imperial capital, it will be dangerous. Especially the marriage contract with the Ulan family...... And there is no case of tearing.

However, Huang Puyue is resolutely unwilling to join in the fun with Isha, she does have her own reasons, although her strength is very average, but she is not completely without the ability to protect herself, the four magic sword masters around her, Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San and Ah Si, have been famous for many years, and their strength is solid, although they are definitely invincible against the strong of the Sword Sect, but they will not be destroyed all at once, right?

Besides, she won't go anywhere in this imperial capital, if Ulanto really dares to do something, the anger of the Huangpu family will not be so easy to quell!

After all, no matter how powerful the strong are, unless you kill all the people of the Huangpu family, the crazy counterattack of the wealthy family is definitely not something that a reasonable person wants to see.

Huang Puyue thinks about the problem and prefers to look at the overall situation with this kind of view, and does not quite agree with the view that the strong and powerful will definitely be able to dominate the world.

For her, the world is bustling, all for profit, as long as there are interests, the Zhe family can be the back of the Ulan family today, and tomorrow it can become the force behind the Huangpu family!

It depends on how you operate the relationship.

Of course, Isha didn't quite understand this, and her views conflicted with many places in Huangpuyue, seeing that she was really unwilling to leave, Isha could only regret that under the escort of a group of Ling family generals, she took a carriage with an ordinary appearance and luxurious interior, and went to the south overnight. Originally, Ling Xiao meant to let the clown pick them up, but Isha felt that it was not necessary, she felt more sorry for the clown and didn't want her to be too tired.

The intelligence network established by Meng Li in the imperial capital has also begun to operate effectively, so except for Huang Puyue, no one else knows about Isha's departure!

There has been no movement on the side of the Zhe family, but everyone understands that this is just the calm before the storm, and the Zhe family will definitely not give up, at least ...... It is impossible for them to allow a Sword Emperor powerhouse of their own family to be made into a human stick and placed on the enemy's city!

This matter has already set off a monstrous wave among the family sects!

A mid-to-high-level Sword Emperor actually died at the hands of Ling Xiao and them, no matter who killed him, it all showed a point...... Ling Xiao's strength is already very strong! Moreover, this kind of strength is still hidden in mystery! No one knows what kind of hole cards Ling Xiao still has in his hand.

But since you dare to argue with a family like the Fold family, it is obviously not a soft persimmon!

In the midst of the turmoil, I don't know how many people are hiding from the side to watch the excitement!

In the new city, the inner city of Shushan, in the courtyard of Lingfu, Ling Xiao sat in the pavilion in the garden of his courtyard, and there were many people sitting in the long pavilion.

Ling Xiao's relatives were all properly settled, although they were still a little uncomfortable with the heat here, but in their son's territory, Mrs. Ling and Ling Tianxiao still had a sense of pride.

Especially after Ling Tianxiao saw the strength of Ling Xiao's team, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Seeing your strength, you Lao Tzu and I have been leading soldiers for so many years, so I am doing useless work!"

After Ling Tianxiao sighed, he went to the old marshal Qiu Chen to play chess, for him, only in this way could he calm his heart, and going into battle to fight was the favorite thing for a military general like him. However, Ling Tianxiao knew very well that the current situation was not something he could do at all.

Ling Xiao tried his best to get them all back, wasn't it just to protect them?

Thirty years ago, the Father respected the Son, and thirty years later, the Son respected the Father!

The high priest and Ye Zi were together, looking like a pair of sisters, and at this time, they were sitting together, chatting with Ling Xiao, and they couldn't see the tense atmosphere outside at all.

"I'm afraid everyone outside is nervous because of your audacity, and they will be furious if they know that you are eating grapes leisurely here. Ye Zi looked at Ling Xiao with a smile and said.

Ling Xiao smiled indifferently, he did this, naturally there was enough reason, Ling Xiao had countless sword skills in his hands, and as soon as his strength entered the Jindan period, he thought about starting a sect!

However, when you are a hairy boy, weak in strength, shallow in foundation, and people can pinch you to death with one finger, you are talking about starting a sect there, not to mention whether you are ashamed or not, any second- or third-rate person can smash your Daomen, that is really worth the loss.

And at present, Ling Xiao has a lot of confidence, first of all, this Penzes New City is an ice blue water light array, after activation, even if it is the strength of the Sword Venerable, don't think about taking a step!

Secondly, this inner city seems to be ordinary, but in fact, this inner city is even more of a big array! The formation is called the Four Elephants Great Array! It has both offense and defense, and there are endless changes, not to mention that it is a master of the Sword Emperor realm, even if it is a sword venerable, if he is caught in the array, it is also called that he has no return! It's just that at present, this Four Elephants Great Array is not complete, and with Ling Xiao's current strength, it cannot be allowed to exert 100% of its strength. But even so, after activation, it was still easy to keep a strong man of Sword Zun's strength out! If he broke through, even if he couldn't be killed, at least it would be no problem to hit him hard!

In addition, Ling Xiao's own magic weapons, all of which have been refined by the true fire in the body, and cultivated by the true yuan, are easy to use, even if he is a sixth-order sword emperor, fighting alone, Ling Xiao is not afraid!

Therefore, Ling Xiao's purpose is to destroy the family! Destroy as much as you come! That is, to avenge the high priest and raise his prestige! Moreover, if he is false and real, and blindly keeps a low profile, he will always be regarded as weak and easy to deceive!

Ling Xiao looked at the high priest Su Xue and said, "Auntie, tell me about the Su family back then, you said that there was an internal thief back then, who is the internal thief?"
