The cold wind was howling.

Snow is flying all over the sky.

In the hazy world, the black city is like a strong beast, entrenched in one side with an unyielding will.

Outside the four gates of the city, large and small stone houses, wooden buildings, tents, circle after circle, stretching endlessly.

There are still countless ragged homeless people staggering, small and helpless.

On the city wall, Xia Xinzhu, who was dressed in a big hat, showed helplessness and sadness, and sighed lightly: "This winter has passed, and I don't know how many people will die." ”

The maid on the side hesitated a little, and admonished again: "Princess, you really can't let people into the city anymore." ”

Xia Xinzhu was silent and bowed slightly.

The huge Qingyang City is already overcrowded, and under the eaves of the streets and alleys, there are people everywhere.

As soon as the fixed-point porridge shed opened, the crowd rushed up.

In the southern district of Fangshi Street, there are many monks and pedestrians.

"The City Lord's Mansion is really financially powerful, and the refugee area has expanded to five miles away."

"Do you really think that the City Lord's Mansion and Xia Xinzhu have this strength? It's all the Zhong family supporting in the back. ”

"I heard that Xia Xinzhu is Zhong Yan's woman?"

"Most likely, Xia Xinzhu is also selfless and courageous, and for the people of Qingyang City, the princess's body is committed to others."

"Joke, how powerful the Zhong clan is, Zhong Yan's cultivation is unfathomable now, and he is not worthy of her?"

"It seems that the national war is not far away, and Qingyang City is afraid that it will not be able to hold it, should we change places?"

"It's all the same! I heard that wars have broken out in many countries in the Eastern Regions, and Yan Country is okay, and in Yan Country, I feel that it is better to stay in Qingyang. ”

"Yes, the outcasts are in charge, and they will not care about us monks with combat power?"

"It's better to join the Zhong family and become a guest, it's safer."

"No, you didn't read yesterday's notice, as long as the Zhong Mansion has built the foundation realm, it is recommended to register the Keqing Mansion during the Qi refining period."

“……”

Cangbao Street, Zhongfu.

The main hall of Nijuin.

This is the Department of Deliberations.

Wen Hong, the master of the Douzhan Hall, and Jiang Yunruo, the president of the Supervision Yuan, sat in and out every day, and from time to time someone came in and out to report the news.

Zhong Yan often comes to inspect the circle to understand and grasp the latest situation in the outside world.

"Master, Qin Ben has a letter!"

"Father!"

Zhong Xiaozhong and Zhong Qiyu came together.

Zhong Yan took the envelope and opened it after reading it, handed it to Jiang Yunruo and others to circulate, and said with a smile: "Qin Ben really looks up to me!" ”

Zhong Qiyu said: "I also received a message from Brother Qi Xiang this morning, the northern part of Wei is fighting again, the Quartet army and horses gathered 1.8 million troops, Qin Ben gathered 200,000 troops, marched eastward, and wanted to take the ...... of Xingmen Pass of King Qi."

Zhong Yan moved under the wall and looked at the map.

Zhou Yunning said: "Counting the previous ones, nearly half of the Yan troops that were put into the battlefield of Wei were moving eastward. ”

At this time, Ye Weiwei came in, looked at the others, and looked a little nervous: "Husband, Uncle Li summoned and asked about the specific strength of the concubine's family, and I said fifty percent, but did not mention the family lineage. ”

As the words fell, Qin Ziyue flew into the courtyard with Tang Xiaoshu and walked inside.

Qin Ziyue: "Husband, have you received my brother's letter?" ”

Tang Xiaoshu said: "Qin Shuai asked about Qingyang's troop deployment, as well as our family's martial arts strength, resources, and grain and grass reserves. ”

Jiang Yunruo raised the letter paper and said: "Twenty people in the late stage of foundation building, we can't draw them out, and there are also telekinesis beads, if the Wei troops return to attack Qingyang, we ourselves will be overstretched, and we won't be able to last long." ”

Zhong Yan looked at Qin Ziyue and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qin Ziyue: "The husband has the idea, the concubine feels that the family is still the first, and the brother is not only a supporter of our side, if there is an emergency, it is not too late to make plans." ”

Zhou Yunning: "Husband, all the princes are moving, is it possible that there will be a war after the New Year?" ”

Zhong Yan shook his head: "It's not that fast, there's still some time." ”

After a long sigh, he continued: "Draw one from the Douzhan Hall to build the eighth layer of the foundation, four to build the foundation, and wait for Yun Mei to come back from the quicksand island, and take eight million telekinetic beads to the Wei Kingdom." ”

Wen Hong: "Okay husband. ”

Qin Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, it was difficult to deploy combat power support, but the Nian Power Bead gave an extra three million, which was also considered an explanation to his brother.

Zhong Yan looked at Bai Siyuan and said, "Brother Dao, contact Wen Tailai, wait for this batch of telekinetic beads to be harvested, rob it, and pick a place far away to do it." ”

Bai Siyuan: "Okay! ”

Jiang Yunruo said worriedly: "Husband, Sister Hsinchu has gathered too many displaced people, yesterday Liu Er's sister-in-law mentioned it, the expenditure is scary, and now the situation is already in economic depression, coupled with the cold winter......"

Zhong Yan said directly: "Let Liu Er go to the Ten Thousand Halls and the Caoyun Gang, if you want to be safe and sound under our wings, you can contribute money and efforts!" ”

“……”

After some arrangement, everyone was ordered to be busy.

Zhong Yan stopped Tang Xiaoshu and walked out of the hall together.

Alone with his peers, Tang Xiaoshu was a little nervous and took the initiative to report the content of the interrogation in detail.

"It was General Liang of the South Gate who contacted me, and before that, he had already reported to Ding Zhan, and the contact information of the three-way spy had already been reported......

Zhong Yan nodded, took her hand and soared into the air, and flew towards the deep courtyard.

Tang Xiaoshu looked down, such a move is rare, although she has confessed, but over the years, she has always felt that there is a gap between her husband and Jun.

Zhong Yandao: "I've worked hard for you all these years, and you don't have an important job right now, so you just have to have a child." ”

Tang Xiaoshu was slightly stunned, his nose was sour, his eyes were instantly red, and he was swirling, "Husband, ......"

Zhong Yanmo rubbed her cheek and said with a smile: "I know your mind, I don't need to say more." ”

The last time he returned, he checked that the other party's loyalty reached 95, which was among the top among many wives and concubines.

"Hmm!"

Tang Xiaoshu nodded vigorously, and his smile bloomed in tears.

Thirty-five Temples.

"Husband, do you practice here on weekdays?"

Tang Xiaoshu came here for the first time, his beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity, and the warmth flowing in his heart seemed to be able to melt the winter snow in this world.

"Yes."

Walking through the courtyards and corridors, there was a burst of silver bell laughter in the hall.

Yu Qingyao and others gathered around to talk and laugh.

Tang Xiaoshu hurriedly saluted one by one.

Zhong Yan saw that Jiang Ping was also there, and asked, "Ping'er, how much money is in the clan treasury?" ”

Jiang Ping hurriedly said: "There are more than 300 million taels of silver, and there is a large amount of grain and beast meat hoarded...... The concubine and Yunning's younger sisters have combined, if there is no major war, according to the family's registered population of more than 7,000, it can be maintained for at least 40 years. ”

More than 7,000 people, naturally including the elite warrior army of Fuyang Town.

Zhong Yan frowned, if you count the defenders of Qingyang City, these materials are far from enough.

"Silver money is second, and it is necessary to prepare more grain and grass."

Jiang Ping nodded and said, "Well, in the past two years, the farmland around Qingyang has had a good harvest, and the Fuyang granary has built a large formation, which can be stored for a long time. ”

Yu Qingyao said: "The crops in the medicinal field are growing well, and they can be harvested in another year, and when Sister Siyu refines a batch of Bigu Dan, it can cover part of the use." ”

"Okay."

Zhong Yan bowed his head and asked, "What are you talking about so happy?" ”

Jiang Ping said with a smile: "The wedding banquet, nine together, nine King Kongs!" ”

The corners of Zhong Yan's mouth twitched.

Yu Qingyao followed: "Huilan is on Quicksand Island, I said that I would make up for it later, and a few mortals in Zhiluo said that they were not going to be happy at this age."

Then there are Sister Siyu, Sister Yunruo, Weicen, Dong'er, Youbai, and Shuang'er......

There are also three Five Elements Sects, all of which are true spirit roots, and they have also tested the purity of specific spirit root essences, and their qualifications are good.

Sister Ziyi searched the souls of the three of them, very good girl, do you want to meet first? ”

Testing the purity of the spirit root requires a special magic weapon, which many big forces don't have.

All owned by the Zhong Mansion were from the Ding family and the Peng family at the cost of sacrifice after breaking the Five Elements Sect.

Zhong Yan thought for a while and said, "Then call over and take a look." ”

Posture, qualifications and whatnots are secondary, they are all true spiritual roots, how much is the difference between each other?

For him, it is still preferable to choose a high loyalty, which is easier to bind.

"I'll go!"

Gu Dongdong rushed to the door and staggered away with a flying sword, causing a coquettish laugh.

Yu Qingyao blinked and said, "Zhong Lang, what are you going to do with Miao Miao?"

She is in great consummation, and she only needs a melting elixir to form a pill, and if she can accept it, she will get a big help.

Moreover, Sister Siyu said that Miao Miao has a good character, she is an outstanding disciple of the Six Peaks, and her cultivation qualifications and talents are no worse than Nan Jin.

She is one of the few people in Liufeng who is looked down upon by Sister Siyu, and the two have some friendship in private. ”

After a pause, Yu Qingyao smiled and said, "You can still breathe six peaks!" ”

Zhong Yan's face was strange, and he suddenly remembered that Wei Siyu had mentioned the matter of lobbying Su Yue, if he really stabbed Su Yue, he would really wipe out the seven peaks, and the rest of the female disciples would be picked at any time.

As for Miao Miao, he was originally going to let him charge into battle in the big war and use him as cannon fodder.

"Let me think about it, the wedding banquet doesn't have to be a big deal, just ask some good friends and celebrate it in Taoyuan."

Jiang Ping bowed, took out a list from her purse and handed it forward: "Take a look." ”

Zhong Yan swept his eyes, and there were several main figures in the Ding family, the Peng family, and the town guard mansion, as well as a few personal friends.

"Yes."

Not much.

Gu Dongdong brought nine female cultivators from the Five Elements Sect, and four of them had tasks in the late stage of foundation building, and they were not in the mansion.

Nine people stood in a row, with beautiful faces, different styles, and a little shy.

Yu Qingyao called aside the three selected ones with more outstanding appearances.

Zhong Yan glanced at it, and the loyalty of the nine people was above seventy, the difference was not big, but one who was not selected reached 83, and lowered his head slightly.

"You."

Hearing the sound, the women looked left and right.

The woman in Tsing Yi was stunned, her heart was beating faster for a while, her pretty face flushed, she bowed down and hugged her fists and said, "I wish Xinyan has seen the head of the family!" Subordinate Jin and Shui True Spiritual Roots, twenty-seven years old, practicing for sixteen years, building a foundation for the three-layer realm......"

Yu Qingyao and others were surprised, although this girl was also born with a Peugeot, but her appearance can only be regarded as average among the sisters in Zhongfu, I don't know why her husband likes her at a glance.

Immediately, one by one, their eyes fell on the majestic chest, could it be because of their talent and tolerance?

After giving a detailed introduction to her own situation, Zhu Xinyan's ears were red, and she added in a low voice: "Subordinate, subordinate to practice, I have never had a favorite man." ”

Zhong Yan said: "Just the four of you." ”

The other five couldn't help but look envious and disappointed.

has been sincerely obedient, naturally the higher the status, the better, become a Taoist wife and concubine, can soar to the sky, not to mention that the other party is such a handsome and charming powerful male cultivator.

Yu Qingyao smiled: "Top Ten King Kongs!" ”

At this time, Qin Youbai flew down to the door and rushed in and hurriedly said, "Husband, Huan'er has been kidnapped!" ”
