Completely different from what Su Lin expected, the man did not come to Lake City, and the Dongying secret envoy seemed to flee after fighting him. E

This is also very reasonable, Hei Mitian is not a vegetarian after all, although he has an inexplicable seal on his chest, but since he can be reborn from Hei Mitian's body, it proves that the other party has no spare strength to make up for himself, and he should also be seriously injured.

Lake City is in ruins, but the scene of everyone working together makes Su Lin feel satisfied, although he doesn't have much hope for this short-lived good time, if the problem is not fundamentally solved, everything will come back.

Just like Zhu Jiuqin, he has done enough, but in the end, the country has changed back to its original state, although some things have indeed changed, but in the end it has still become a country where the superior eats the inferior, and everything comes back.

After spending a day shopping for supplies and packing up, Su Lin set off in the early morning of the next day and continued to set off in the direction of Shihu Pass, he still didn't sleep well all night yesterday, once Huainan was not around, the symptoms of insomnia and sensory dysfunction came back like a curse.

It is worth mentioning that the refugees who were meditating outside the gate of Hucheng disappeared, leaving only a huge platform made of rotting corpses left at the gate of the city, and the officers and soldiers found a lot of firewood and burned it all overnight.

Su Lin also heard some strange rumors from some traveling merchants.

On the way to Lake City, some of the traveling merchants were attacked by refugees, and all their clothes and goods were robbed, and the people who attacked the traveling merchants were scrawny refugees who smelled of rotting corpses. E

Many of the raided merchants were skilled in martial arts, but all of them died, and only one escaped and told the others what they said, but by the time the other caravans reached their destination, only the human bones were left.

The dart master who escaped death said that although the refugees were not many in number, they were all highly skilled in martial arts and agile like monsters.

They say strange crazy things when they kill people, and they don't seem happy at all when they kill people and divide things, they are always crying, they are always cursing something.

They also asked where the most people were and where they were the most recently, and discussed with each other the number of killings, but they were not discussing how many people they had killed, but how many people they still had to kill.

Some people say that they want 13,600 people, some people say that they want to kill 20,000 people, some people want 9,600 people, and people who have a lot of numbers often cry when they chat, and others always comfort that person and teach them how to kill people.

The dart master was caught by them and hit the road, and if it wasn't for an accident, the dart master would not have been able to escape.

Although the amount of information obtained is very small, if these rumors are true, it can also be deduced that there is a lot of valuable information. E

First of all, it can be determined that since those refugees dared to attack the caravan head-on, and the number of them was very small, it proved that their martial arts were extremely high, and a scrawny man could easily kill those well-trained and armed dart masters, except for the absolute crushing of fighting skills.

Unless these people are monks and can ignore the heavenly rules like Cong Bingqing, they can only rely on strong killing techniques.

But with such powerful killing techniques, would these people be reduced to the point of displacement?

The answer is that it is impossible, since the other party can feed on people, it means that the moral level of those attackers is extremely low, coupled with the terrifying killing skills, they do not need to rely on any force at all, just burning, killing and looting can dominate one side, and the worst can also feed on people, so that they will not be hungry to the point of being skinny.

The most plausible explanation that comes to mind is that these people had just acquired the horrific technology, and until then, they were really just helpless hungry people.

On top of that, the content of their chatter is also very strange, and the number of people they need to kill is like a mission.

And when they kill the caravan to share the goods, they do not appear to be happy, but often curse and cry, which shows that they do not kill the caravan people to plunder the goods, but simply to complete the killing mission. E

The refugees' clothes smelled of corpses, and it was very likely true

It was the people who had left the gates of Lake City, who had a requirement to kill in tens of thousands, and who had no pursuit of worldly goods, not even food.

From the fact that they wanted to go to the nearest place where there were many people, rather than to the richest and most comfortable cities, it can be inferred that their highest priority was not to survive, but to slaughter.

Based on the above judgments, Su Lin sketched the characters of these strange refugees in his mind: they have extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they do not rely on the power of cultivating immortals, but rely more on their own experience and technology;

The only pursuit is to kill people, but instead of making them happy, they are miserable, as if they had to complete some kind of task.

These people are likely to be the same people as the refugees in Lake City, with no traces of cultivation on their bodies, and powerful combat skills that were acquired suddenly at a certain moment, rather than after long-term training.

Excluding those true immortals with strange beliefs that Su Lin didn't know, among the knowledge that Su Lin had acquired, there was only one race that was extremely similar to these refugees, and Tianzun had used this race as an example to expound the argument that there was no absolute right or wrong in the three views.

Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons. E

This was the conclusion that Su Lin had reached, but he was not sure, because the vast majority of extraterritorial heavenly demons were not saints, and after they were reincarnated in this world, they felt an experience that was a hundred times more painful than when they died, and almost all of them would commit suicide immediately after reincarnation.

Like the rumors in the immortal cultivation world, it is the peerless saint among the heavenly demons, who belongs to the kind of good people who are willing to suffer endless pain by themselves and bring more people to the beautiful world after death.

Of course, Su Lin didn't feel that his guess was absolutely correct, and he didn't have extra time to deal with these thorny issues, all he could do was to inform Lu Zhuyu of his guesses and ideas through the transmission of the jade talisman, while he himself continued to go to Shihu Pass.

Dongying's matter must be resolved, otherwise this Great Xia will probably be over......

In the capital of Great Xia, on the top of the splendid court, Zhu Minben sat on the dragon chair and listened to the recitals of the ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Dongying Rebellion, the situation throughout the country is not optimistic, I heard that in the capital east of Wu'an, the common people can't eat, but the imperial court's taxes are still strict, at this critical juncture...... Should the people be exempted from paying taxes for the time being?"

A minister immediately stood up: "Your Majesty! Never! With all due respect, the old minister said bluntly, at this time and that time, the national policy of the former emperor can no longer be applied to the current situation, high taxes are the advantage of my Great Xia Kingdom, compared to the people, the officials naturally know better how to arrange money, food and salary. E

The reason why there is a shortage of food now is precisely because too much grain was left for those common people, who did not know how to take precautions and emptied their grain reserves early, so there was a famine.

Imagine if the imperial court had collected grain, stockpiled it, and opened a warehouse for disaster relief in times of crisis, how could it have come to this point!

According to the old minister, letting the common people keep those grains by themselves is the root cause of this great hunger!

The top priority is to change the current grain tax policy, raise the grain tax, and let the imperial court dispatch grain in a unified manner, which is really responsible for the people of Li and the people-oriented as the emperor said!"
