The river of time flows unswervingly into August.

The weather in the three northwestern states of Yan continued to be clear.

Occasionally, when it rains, the sky opens before the soil is wet.

Even the Grand Canal running through Xuanbei Prefecture and Yanbei Prefecture is almost cut off, and the big boats with a slightly deeper draft can't get up.

The drought has settled, and the food shortage is beginning to take shape.

Dali's grain store is government-run, and it will not sit on the ground and raise prices.

However, the purchase limit has dropped again and again, from ten catties all the way down to five taels, and then to the store limit.

Some ruthless grain officials didn't have the courage to close the door, so they simply sent troops to block the area around the grain store to prevent ordinary people from approaching!

The common people are not blind.

Although local governments are trying their best to control the circulation of information about food shortages.

However, this year's shortage of rain and the serious reduction of grain production are a fact that everyone can see, coupled with the restrictions on grain purchases, which undoubtedly confirms the information of the grain shortage.

Since August, the price of all food-related items in Xuanbei Prefecture, such as vegetables, melons and fruits, chickens, ducks, fish and other ingredients that are not under the control of the grain and straw transfer department, has been rising like sesame seeds blooming.

These ingredients cannot be stored for a long time like grains, but they can also be made into dried vegetables, melon slices and dried meat, which can be saved to quench hunger in autumn and winter.

Those poor households who can't stock up on food take advantage of the fact that the grass and trees are still luxuriant, and go out of the city to pick up some non-toxic wild vegetable leaves and store them as food.

The grain stock in Taiping Pass is still sufficient.

The archdeacon sent out by Aoba Hall to buy grain has already begun to transport grain to Taipingguan.

It's not a lot, but it's good that it's endless.

They all took the route from Yanbei Prefecture to Xuanbei Prefecture.

Even if the grain is bought from Nanshan Prefecture, you have to take a detour to Zhongyuanzhou, from Zhongyuanzhou to Yanbei Prefecture, and then to Xuanbei Prefecture.

Xiliangzhou is never afraid to go.

Although the food shortage in Xuanbei Prefecture is already lice on the bald head.

But at present, with the full cooperation of all parties, we can still hold on.

And the food shortage in Xiliangzhou can no longer be covered and exploded!

The officials of Xiliangzhou go up to the official government, down to the ordinary people of Li, and now their eyes are all green, and everyone looks like food!

Listening to those Xiliang merchants who did not plan to go out after entering the Taiping Pass, there were already a large number of Li people who could not survive in Xiliangzhou.

In this situation, Zhang Meng, who is in charge of this matter, does not have any confidence to bring food security from Xiliangzhou back to Taipingguan!

The imperial court was not inactive.

The grain collected from Dongshengzhou, Dongyunzhou, Nanshanzhou, Nanshan Prefecture and other places has been continuously transported to the northwest of Yan.

However, Dali's productivity is low, grain yield per mu is low, and grain reserves have always been very weak.

Even in a bumper year, there are still a large number of poor people struggling to get up and down the food and clothing line, and they are weak.

Now the three states in the northwest of Yan are sick at one time, especially Xiliangzhou, which is as miserable as a bottomless pit.

Just the little grain that the imperial court requisitioned from other states.

It may be okay to support Yanbei Prefecture, which is in the best situation among the three states.

If you want to save the three states in the northwest of Yan, it's just a fool's dream!

As the saying goes, there is chaos in a great disaster.

The catastrophe is near.

Chaos...... Will it be far?

At the beginning of August, two major events occurred in the northwest of Yan.

The first one, the second victory into Xuanbei, and the top of Cangshan to fight with the governor of the West, Ran Lin, attracted tens of thousands of rivers and lakes to go to Xiliangzhou to watch the battle.

On the third day of the second victory day and the battle monument, Ran Lin appeared in Cangshan and engaged in the battle.

After the two sides fought dozens of times, Ran Lin lost without any suspense.

In the second victory, in front of tens of thousands of children from the rivers and lakes, he blasted Ran Lin with a stick of incense, beat it from the sky to the ground, and then went to the ground to the sky, and was seriously injured, and vomited blood!

Ran Lin was last year and brought the power of the great victory in Northern Xinjiang to the second grade.

And the name of the second old demon of the second victory day has been famous in the rivers and lakes of Kyushu for five or six years!

How could Ran Lin be the opponent of the second victory?

After the Battle of Cangshan.

In the name of rebellion, the imperial court banned the money gang!

And on the charge of attacking the imperial court officials, Kyushu wanted the second victory.

Pay attention to the key points: banned, wanted!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Laozi wanted warrant is just for show.

If you really want to deal with a powerful second-grade grandmaster, it is only right to quietly set up a set.

With such a fanfare for issuing a wanted warrant, it's hell to be able to get talent!

The battle of Cangshan, because of the identities of the two protagonists, has a very far-reaching impact.

The identity of the first, the second Shengtian, is not a secret in the circle of the Flying Grandmaster of Da Li.

He openly made an appointment with the imperial court to seal the territory, does it mean that the hidden emperor behind him is finally coming out of the fog?

Two, this is the first time in a hundred years that a Jianghu Feitian Grandmaster has made a move against the Chaotang Jianghu Feitian.

It is also the first time in a hundred years that the imperial court has publicly arrested the Flying Grandmaster of the rivers and lakes!

Does this mean that the rules of the game that have been carefully maintained by the rivers and lakes and the court for two hundred years have been broken?

Is Dali Jianghu really strong enough to be able to harden the imperial court head-on?

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Not to mention the middle and lower class children of the Qi Sea Realm and the Lux Realm, the children of the rivers and lakes are panicking.

Even the Flying Masters of the rivers and lakes in various states felt that the road ahead was dangerous and confusing.

Many of the older generation of Flying Grandmasters, who had been in seclusion for a long time, went out one after another, setting up a retreat to search for old friends, in order to survive this catastrophe together.

Mastering one's own destiny is the eternal pursuit of human beings.

But how strong do you have to be to truly control your own destiny?

Obviously, in the eyes of the world, the third-rank and second-grade grandmasters who can go straight to the green underworld by raising their feet are not qualified.

It's not that they're not strong enough.

But there are still people who are stronger......

The kind of strong that is perverted!

The second major event is actually the aftershock caused by the Battle of Cangshan.

In the battle of Cangshan, Ran Lin was defeated.

On the basis of the Governor of the Quartet, the Imperial Court set up the Governor's Mansion of the Quartet, and sent 400,000 forbidden troops to the Quartet and came under the command of the Quartet Governor!

This is a major decision that has touched the structure of the three princes and nine secretaries of the Great Departure Imperial Court!

Before the establishment of the Governor's Palace, the name of the Governor of the Quartet sounded bullish, but it was actually an existence of worship and mascots.

It's not that the four governors don't have power in their hands.

Rather, it means that their rights are administratively structured.

A sound court institution should not only have big officials, but also a large number of lower-level officials and executive officials.

Now the imperial court has not only equipped these four masters with a large group of lower-level officials, but also equipped each of them with an army of 100,000!

The official position of the governor of the Quartet has changed from virtual to real!

The Northern Governor's Mansion is located in Qingping Mansion, Fengwolf County.

A hundred thousand forbidden troops were also hoarded there.

It is only two or three days away from Taipingguan.

Even Zhang Chu, who was still in retreat, was shocked by this incident.

He always felt ...... The comers are not good.

And then there's ...... Six masters urine sex!
