Chapter 162: Shanyue Turmoil
Higashiyamagoe.
Mu Jiao Man lay on the floor, his burning breath surging in his mouth, and his heart twitched like angina, making his mouth dry and speechless.
"King! King! ”
The wives and concubines around him were crying and babbling, and he was upset, he gritted his teeth and shouted with all his might:
"Shut up!"
The voice was so soft that it seemed to be humming, and no one noticed him, and they all cried to themselves, and his heart was gloomy.
Although Dongshanyue is not a rich country and a strong people under his rule, it is much better than the previous troubled times, and Dongshanyue's territory is also constantly expanding, and from time to time there are Shanyue villages to surrender.
Mu Jiaoman knew that Li Tongya was cautious, pretending to have his back against Wushan, so that Li Tongya would not cross the border to attack, and he also made compromises, opened up the trade routes, and allowed the Li family to exchange some novel luxury goods for the mountain-like food and materials in the hands of the Shanyue nobles, which was equivalent to using hundreds of thousands of Shanyue as labor to support the living people in their early 100,000s, which was exchanged for a glimmer of life.
Just when this place was full of vitality and everything was developing for the better, a demon wolf broke into the town, and this sixth-level qi cultivation monster crossed hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers strangely and silently, and landed at the foot of his city.
Mu Jiaoman had to go to war, and his Dongshan Yue had two or three Qi cultivators in his development over the years, although all he swallowed was miscellaneous qi, and he couldn't compare to those immortal cultivators, but it could be regarded as combat power, but it was only distributed on the front line in the west, and the return of reinforcements was too slow.
He thought about holding on for a while, waiting for support, but he never thought that this monster had several talented spells, and he was defeated and retreated, so he had to grit his teeth and sacrifice his qi and blood, and call Wushan according to the ancient witchcraft.
"How can there be no ...... news?"
Mu Jiaoman's mind was blank, and his heart was deadly silent, and his still keen sense of smell that he had cultivated over the years made him understand a big thing.
"There's something wrong with Wushan, this monster is definitely a stone for some immortal cultivator to ask for directions......"
Mu Jiao Man used witchcraft to squeeze his lifespan, and finally repelled this monster, and returned to the gorgeous jade bed, knowing that his time of death had come.
"Get out of the way!"
A group of wives and concubines were crying and crying, but they were interrupted by an angry roar, and a Shanyue man covered in runes broke into the palace with an anxious face, and the beast bones and jade on his body jingled, lifting his spirit, and Mu Jiao muttered:
"You ......"
"The old slave is late!"
The big man cried, but Mu Jiaoman suddenly came to his senses, grabbed his hand stubbornly, and murmured:
"It is said that my clan is located in Gongzi Camelina and the rest of the children...... Slaughter them all! Don't leave your mouth alive. ”
"Yes......"
"You remember!"
Mu Jiaoman burst into tears, gritted his teeth and emphasized:
"The rest of the children must be slaughtered...... Don't be controlled by the Li family, my Shanyue clan is forbearance instead of surrendering to him, you know! DID YOU KNOW! ”
The big man raised his head, the tears in his eyes had not yet flowed, but Mu Jiaoman let go of his hand, and slammed on the jade bed with a thud, and his breath had been broken.
"King! …… It's time to meet the king! ”
The bells in the city rang loudly, and the soldiers of Shanyue kept shuttling through the streets, and the cries of killing and screams were everywhere, and the sons who had been high in the past were dragged out one after another, and their heads were simply cut off.
A gray-black oxcart had already driven out of the city, driving for a while on the rugged Guli Road, and several figures hurriedly jumped out of the ox cart and drilled into the forest to the east.
"The old thing really loves that camelina wood, fortunately, I waited for the palace to have eyeliner, so that he wouldn't be slaughtered like a pig and a dog!"
"My lord, what should I do now!"
A few people behind him were obviously guards or advisers, and they followed the person in front of them closely, and someone asked out loud, and then saw him say:
"I heard that my aunt is also a concubine in the East, and now I have to flee east to join my aunt!"
A few people watched the starry sky and set their course, plunged headlong into the dense and bottomless jungle, and disappeared without a trace.
————
Li Tongya was reading the "Yueque Sword Classic" in the cave, silently gesturing in his hand, praising it from time to time, and shouting in a low voice:
"Wonderful! It's just the pinnacle of wonder! ”
When Li Qijing returned home and wrote the Yueque Sword Arc, Li Tongya was still a novice who had just entered the sword, and he never felt how subtle Li Qijing's swordsmanship was, and then as he grew up year by year, with the Yueque Sword Arc explained by Li Qijing himself, and he was also a good kendo talent, his kendo cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he soon comprehended the sword qi, and finally understood how profound his brother's understanding of the kendo was.
The explanation of "Yueque Sword Classic" is simple and exquisite, Li Tongya's slow progress in the sword path cultivation has simply advanced by leaps and bounds in the past few months, and many doubts and puzzles in the past have suddenly become clear, and the time is estimated, I am afraid that it will not take ten years to have the opportunity to comprehend the next realm of the sword yuan.
The Yueque sword arc is just the starting style of this set of sword classics, in which there are dozens of exquisite combos and changing moves, Li Tongya was dazzled and amazed, and he was still gesturing in his hands, but he heard the "tuk" in front of the stone gate being knocked.
"Who?"
Li Tongya raised his head and asked, then he heard the voice of his child Li Xuanling, and said respectfully:
"Father, someone from the Xiao family is here, and he is a Qi cultivator, I'm afraid I still have to entertain him."
"I see."
Li Tongya thought for a few breaths, got up and walked out of the cave, Li Xuanling was waiting in front of the door, and let out a low sigh when he saw this.
Li Xuanling is also difficult to do, there is a huge disparity between the status of the Qi Cultivation Realm and the Fetal Breath Realm, and the Xiao family is kind to the Li family, and if they don't send a monk who practices the Qi Realm to receive them, it is inevitable that they will be a little contemptuous and lose their sense of proportion.
Li Xuanfeng has long closed the dead pass, Li Xuanxuan broke through the Qi Cultivation Realm is a critical juncture and does not dare to disturb, although Chen Donghe is a Qi cultivation person, but he is not a master of the matter, it seems that only Li Tongya has not retreated and cultivated, so he ran to the mountain to invite him.
Li Tongya put away the "Yueque Sword Codex" in his hand, went out of the cave, and arrived at the main courtyard on Lijing Mountain with Li Xuanling, and saw a young man who looked like twenty-five or sixteen years old looking up at him, a long robe flowing out of the dust, and his appearance was outstanding.
"In the Xia Xiao family, Xiao Ruyu! I've seen my seniors! ”
Xiao Ruyu still thought that it was most likely Li Xuanfeng who came to see him, but he didn't expect the Li family to attach so much importance to himself, and Li Tongya came to greet him in person, and he was suddenly a little surprised and a little apprehensive.
"Li Tongya is a senior of the same generation as his uncle Xiao Yongling, and he is also one of the most outstanding monks of this generation on the Guli Road......
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ruyu smiled and said:
"Ruyu has heard about his predecessors from his uncle more than once, and he has admired him for a long time, and now he has finally met."
Li Tongya smiled gently, seeing that he advanced and retreated in a certain way, and his bearing was extraordinary, he also had a good impression in his heart, and said in a low voice:
"I've also heard Xuan Feng mention you, you can accompany him into the dangerous place, it's a brave one!"
"The seniors praised it falsely."
The two said a few polite words, Xiao Ruyu didn't dare to slack off, and said respectfully:
"There are two important things for Ruyu to come, one is that there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the county, and it is necessary to move the population from all over the country, and the Li family has the largest population among them, and the Xiao family is willing to pay a certain price......
"What's the matter?"
Li Tongya smiled and said softly:
"My Li family can provide about 1,000 male and female laborers for the nobles every year, and the Xiao family doesn't have to mention any remuneration, so what else can you be polite with the relationship between you and me?"
The Li family is now lacking in everything, that is, there is no shortage of population, every year the population of Shanyue fleeing from the mountains makes the Li family embarrassed, and the people who are placed in the local area are afraid that the population of Shanyue is too large and cause trouble, so that the atmosphere of Shanyue affects the Li family, and it is a pity if it is sent back, after all, it is also a large number of labor.
More than seven years have passed since the Li family took over Huaqian Mountain, and the population has risen from 5,000 to 20,000, plus the Li family's local population of nearly 100,000, the Li family is about to have the population of half of the county.
