Chapter 208: Return to the Imperial Capital
During the day today, the idea of using the cold weather has not yet appeared. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so at night, two chances, cold days are used to strengthen their own speed.
Because after the battle with Lu Chongshan, he paid more attention to speed.
Even if one person has the power to pull out the mountain, but he can't beat anyone, what is the use?
So Han Tian thinks it's time for him to increase his speed, at least when he can't win, he can still run, right?
......
In the middle of the night, it was already past, Yuan Yuan had just re-reviewed the laws he formulated, and she was tired and finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
......
Outside the city, the bloody battle stopped, but the two groups of men and horses were still tense, and the atmosphere was extremely stiff.
There were only about 2,000 soldiers left in armor at the moment, and more than half of them were wounded, and the rest were only exhausted.
And in front of that soldier, there was a silver-armored general, a powerhouse in the early stage of the Fusion Pattern Realm.
The gambling demon didn't come, so here, he was the strongest, and because of this, the Fengyun Domain City side stopped fighting, because they couldn't stop Cao Gongliang of the Melting Pattern Realm at all.
So they could only retreat, and Cao Gongliang had no intention of pursuing, and the two armies were in such a stalemate.
The battle on the other side continued, and after several hours of fighting, Chen Xuantong failed to defeat the three people.
And although the three people who absorbed the "Black Spirit Holy Fruit" had an increase in dead energy, they still couldn't help Chen Xuantong
......
"Just a little bit...... Damn!"
On the top of the mountain thousands of meters away, Wang Li's face sank.
......
"Thunder Strike!"
Suddenly, the speed at which Chen Xuantong swung his knife suddenly accelerated, slashing three times in a row, slashing out three sword qis, the speed was extremely fast, and he hit the three people on the opposite side at once.
The black qi on the three of them suddenly dimmed a little, and after hesitating for a moment, the three of them fled in unison.
Chen Xuantong didn't chase after it, but took out a handful of two-star elixir Xuanka and absorbed it, and then slowly walked through the barracks and came to Cao Gongliang's side.
"General Chen is back!"
"General Chen won!"
"General Chan won"
......
Suddenly, the 2,000 people, whose morale had been extremely low, broke out into a loud shout.
But on the other side, the people of Fengyun Domain City were frightened all of a sudden, and finally, some people turned around and ran, and then a group of people turned around and fled, and then more and more, and finally everyone fled back to the city and closed the city gate.
"General Chen, this ...... Just let them run?" Cao Gongliang was stunned.
"The soldiers are tired, rest, they should not come to attack later. ”
The two thousand soldiers finally took a breath and went back to their tents, ignoring their blood-stained armor and falling asleep.
They were just too sleepy.
......
The next day, under the leadership of Chen Xuantong, 2,000 soldiers dressed in bloody armor forced their way through the city gates and went door to door to collect taxes.
Chen Xuantong has already given a death order, every household must be searched carefully, and all kinds of materials will be taken directly and half of them will leave.
didn't make any sense, didn't give any explanation, and took people to loot every house he went.
Ten minutes later, all the streets had been ransacked, but only a few thousand gold coins had been collected.
Chen Xuantong frowned and glanced at the shops on both sides of the street, and there was anger rising in his heart.
He knew that those people must have hidden the money earlier.
In this way, it is simply difficult to collect 300 million taxes!
"These dogs' things, paying some money is like handing over life!" Chen Xuantong couldn't help but scold.
If every family hides the money, then I am afraid that he will take all the money and materials that he can find, and he will not be able to make up 300 million.
"Keep searching!"
There is no way to make it up, now he can only collect taxes one by one, and near noon, when Chen Xuantong finished searching for taxes on another street, Yuan Yuan appeared in front of Chen Xuantong.
"Why are you robbing them of their money?!" Yuan Yuan asked, pointing to the old people who were kneeling at the door of the house and crying.
"This is His Majesty's order, I can't afford to pay 300 million taxes, this responsibility is not something that the general can afford!" Chen Xuantong was neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a loud voice.
"Then you can rob everywhere? Is collecting taxes just to rob money? Some of them are already short of money, and some of them are even having a difficult life, how can you bear to do it?" Yuan Yuan said angrily
"They all hid the money, otherwise how could these people only have that little money?" Chen Xuantong pointed to the big box on the ground, until now, half a day has passed, he has only received more than 100,000 gold coins, as well as dozens of two-star elixirs, and there have also been some relatively well-established big forces in it.
But the result is a big disappointment, just such a little material, and 300 million that difference is a world of difference!
What's more, he didn't know if the four major forces were willing to come up with 50 million gold coins.
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan hesitated, indeed, she was sure that it was true. She understands that the people of Fengyun Domain City regard money as life, not to mention that there are so many taxes this time?
Moreover, the Storm Domain has never been so strict with taxes.
"Is it that if I go back to the imperial capital, I don't have to pay taxes here?" asked Yuan Yuan.
"As long as you marry with the Luding Empire, not only will the Fengyun Domain not have to pay taxes, but the taxes of other domains will also be greatly reduced!" Chen Xuantong's eyes lit up and he said affirmatively.
After a long time, Yuan Yuan finally sighed, looked back deeply, and said, "I'll go back to the empire, and you will return the money to those poor people." We'll leave tomorrow. ”
"Yes, princess!"
Chen Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
......
"You want to go back to the imperial capital?"
When Han Tian heard Yuan Yuan's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"I must go back, or the Storm Domain will suffer a disaster because of the taxes. Yuan Yuan had a little sadness on his face.
"So, you want to marry the prince of the Luding Empire?" Han Tian asked.
"I ...... No other way. After speaking, Yuan Yuan turned around and left.
Looking at Yuan Yuan's moving back, Han Tian suddenly felt a sense of loss, and his hands clenched hard.
"It must be that the emperor ordered a sharp increase in taxes in order to force the princess to marry the Luding Empire!"
At this moment, he suddenly felt that this emperor of the Chaoding Empire was too ruthless and unjust.
A day has passed, after last night's tragic battle, Fengyun Domain City has been depressed a lot, the four major forces have closed their doors, and even many forces that have been on the stage have also been tightly restrained.
Chen Xuantong no longer collected taxes, and the soldiers didn't have to work hard anymore, so they stayed in the hotel and had a good rest.
But Han Tian stepped up his cultivation.
This time, he directly walked through all the mansions of the Domain Guard, absorbed all the elixirs and weapons in the warehouse, and then absorbed ten two-star elixir Xuan cards that were specially designed to improve his cultivation, and finally improved his cultivation to the Dragon Pattern Nine Paths!
However, the cold weather did not stop, he walked through the Fengyun Domain Mansion, but he got very little, the beacon gate passed, but he only got a few hundred second-order elixirs, the same is true of the Xiaolong Sect, and the gold medal casino also gave the cold sky hundreds of second-order elixirs.
