Chapter 153: That's it? Times have changed!

Just when the whole island of Dongning was full of laughter, Huo County was also facing a choice.

Huo County, it's about to run out!

As the envoy of Yancheng, Qingmei Dao people once again came to the county government. Looking at the somewhat dilapidated county government in front of him, his feelings were also very complicated.

Huo County is similar to Yancheng, although it is only a county in name, but in fact it is as big as a county.

Huo County, like Yancheng, is a newly developed place in the last 800 years.

Huo County has 60 townships and more than 1,300 villages, with a total population of nearly 1.5 million in its heyday!

The ruler of every township is a Taoist temple.

In every Taoist temple, there is at least a Taoist level inheritance.

Just a small Huo County has at least fifty Taoist priests!

Such strength crushed the previous Yancheng in all directions.

Therefore, the objects of consideration when the Meihuadao migratory were both Huo County and Yancheng.

Even Yancheng at that time, if it weren't for the insistence of Qingmei Dao, it would not have been listed as an alternative at all.

But now?

Today's Yancheng has defeated the Hu clan of the Qing clan, and then defeated the army of the imperial court, and is about to become an independent feudal monarch.

Look at Huo County in front of you, it is declining more and more.

The only remaining Xuan-level Dao soldier in the Chao Country is outside Huo County, ready to strike at any time.

This Xuan-level Taoist soldier is the foundation of the Chao Kingdom, and it is one of the hole cards left by the first monarch of the Chao Kingdom.

This Xuan-level Daoist soldier is only selected from the Gong clan, and each of them has the bloodline of the scholar level, and they have the same ancestry.

More than a dozen Dao soldiers joined forces, plus the bloodline divine weapons they carried, they could compete with the doctor for a short time. More than 100 Dao soldiers joined forces, plus more powerful bloodline divine soldiers, they could compete with Qing for a short time.

At its peak, there were 8,000 of them!

At that time, every Taoist soldier had a matching divine weapon and treasure armor.

However, the maintenance cost of this army is too expensive.

Back then, there were more than 100 counties in Chaoguo, but now? There are only a few dozen, the national strength has weakened, and the eight thousand soldiers can't afford to raise them.

Before Wu besieged the national capital, there were still 5,000 Taoist soldiers, but after that battle, there were only 3,000 Taoist soldiers left!

Now the sewing is mending, and the number of Taoist soldiers is still 3,600.

Don't look at it, there are only three thousand six hundred, but killing Qing is like slaughtering a dog.

It's just that such a Dao soldier, even if he doesn't move, consumes a lot of resources every day.

A scholar, even if he doesn't do anything every day, at least he has to eat more than ten catties of meat and dozens of catties of rice. If this scholar insists on training every day and exhausts himself from training, he will have to eat more meat, and he will also need medicinal baths and dietary therapy.

If this scholar does his best to cooperate with the divine soldiers on his body and stimulate the power of the bloodline in his body, then if he wants to recover afterwards, he will not only need a lot of resources, but also a lot of time.

It is no exaggeration to say that the importance of this Xuan-level Dao soldier to the Chao Kingdom is even greater than that of the monarchs of previous dynasties.

If the monarch is dead, he will die, as long as the Dao soldiers are still there, the strongest force in the nest country is there! 、

The monarch is mediocre, it doesn't matter!

Even if the monarch is killed by the ruling party, as long as the ruling surface work is in place, and then let the new generation of monarchs succeed to the throne, then the nest country will not be chaotic.

But once there is a problem with this Dao soldier in front of him, then the Chao Kingdom will really face the danger of destroying the country.

Today's Chao Country is a real poor and small country.

The Dao soldiers will not move if they can, so since they were ordered, this Xuan-level Dao soldier is only used for deterrence, and as long as the situation does not change significantly, this Dao soldier will not make a move. Even if there is really a huge change, this Dao soldier may not be able to make a move.

Once this Dao army is consumed too heavily, it may take several years or even decades to recover, for such a long time, the Wu State next door is not a fool, and then the Wu State should send a large army to surround the Chao State, compared with the powerful Wu State, what is Huo County at the moment? What is Jiang Hua?

However, with Xuan-level Dao soldiers supporting the field, the morale of the other five yellow-level Dao soldiers on the scene was quite good. Even many soldiers, when they first came last year, had the illusion of rushing to fight and returning home for the New Year after the battle.

Although Huo County's strength is very strong, after this siege, many reclusive Taoist priests were blown up at once, and the number of Taoist priests together exceeded 100, and even one hidden Yushi was blown up, but in the face of the situation surrounded by five yellow-level Taoist soldiers, a Xuan-level Taoist soldier and 100,000 troops, it was still very powerless.

Of the more than 60 townships and towns under the rule of Huo County, only half of them are still under the control of Huo County, and the remaining half has been lost!

Looking at the Qingmei Daoist in front of him, the Cangliu Daoist who sat in the top position was also a little uncomfortable.

When did Huo County fall to such a point, the little Yancheng of the year was not taken into account by Huo County!

It's not right to say this, when the monarch issued the Dao Destruction Order, Huo County also considered whether to rescue Yancheng, and finally came to the conclusion: try your best to rescue Jiang Hua and save a bloodline. If you really can't save Jiang Hua, you can directly save the branch of a concubine.

But now, in just half a year, everything has changed!

The identity between the strong and the weak has changed!

What was once a strong person has become a weak person today.

What was once a weak person has become a strong person today.

If in the past, the Yancheng envoy came, how could he not have let him, the actual controller of Huo County, personally receive him.

But now?

Not only did he come in person, but he also brought many senior brothers and the only uncle (the reclusive feather scholar) with him.

Look at the Qingmei Daoist in front of him, his aura is strong and extremely confident, even if he hasn't fought before, he can clearly feel that this is a difficult opponent.

When Cangliu Daoren observed the Qingmei Daoren, the Qingmei Daoren was also observing him.

At this moment, Qingmei Daoist is also sighing: That's it?

The so-called Huo County, is it so strong?

There is only one feather?

With the help of treasures and secret methods, it feels like there are only about three people who can temporarily compete with Yushi.

There are quite a lot of Taoist priests, but Taoist priests are useless on high-end battlefields!

In fact, Huo County's strength is no longer weak, a hidden feather warrior, three self-sacrificing Taoists who directly possess the best magic weapons, plus many formations and treasures deduced by Tianyan Daoists, together, can briefly compete with the four ministers.

After only 800 years of development, Huo County can be compared with the Four Great Secretaries, and this development speed is already extremely fast.

It's not normal to get to Yancheng like that!

But everything is afraid of comparison!

Qingmei Dao people have seen the old master of Ziweixing, the previous generation of Ziwei Palace to teach Uncle Qin, and the previous generation of the master Li Laohan, these three are considered seniors.

Qingmei Dao people have also seen Changkong Dao people, Lin Erdao people, Peng Bing Dao people, Jun Weiyan, and Jun Chengyu who have only recently broken through, this is the Mesozoic Generation, and it can be regarded as the younger generation, which can be regarded as the mainstay.

Qingmei Daoren has also seen Jiang Hua, a genius of heaven, a seventeen-year-old Yushi, which is called an infinite future.

Qingmei Dao people have also seen millions of students in the Yancheng Junior School Palace, which is called a successor!

Qingmei Dao people have also seen those scholars who come to admire, although these scholars are nominally scholars, but none of them are simple, Ji is after the Shennong clan, the Lieshan clan, Wang Miao is after the Fengfeng clan, proficient in the two veins of feng shui, as well as Kong Sheng's disciple Qi Xin, Mo Sheng's disciple Jiang Tang, this is called a deep background!

Today's Yancheng is almost a general trend, and the strength of the Yushi level has the number of hands, and the only thing that is inferior is the background of the real human level.

Although not at this moment, Qingmei Dao people firmly believe that after time, Yancheng will definitely give birth to their own real people!

Let's take a look at Huo County in front of you, which used to be a holy place in the hearts of Chao National Dao people, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!

It is better to be famous than to meet, and fame is greater than reality.

Thinking of this, the expression of the Qingmei Daoist was even more complicated.

The object of worship is now up close: it turns out that the little fairy is also going to pull poop......

Complicated emotions flashed away, and the Qingmei Daoist took out an invitation and handed it over, and the Qingmei Daoist didn't want to say half a sentence if he said the extra words.

After receiving the invitation card of the Qingmei Daoist, the Cangliu Daoist carefully checked it, this invitation was drawn up by the cabinet himself, and the wording on it was also carefully polished after discussion by Fengyi and others.

With some inconvenient evaluations, this invitation should be neither humble nor arrogant, and it should show the strength of Yancheng and the determination of Yancheng. Invitations are invited, but they can't be made into inviting a group of masters.

Looking at the bland wording on the invitation, Cangliu Daoist wanted to ask: Not even treatment? Don't even talk about the treatment?

When the plum blossom road was sent to vote, Jiang Hua personally stood at the gate of Yancheng to greet him, and at that time, the two of them were ten miles out of the city, and everyone in Yancheng knew that the famous plum blossom road came to our Yancheng, which was really full of sincerity.

Later, Plum Blossom Road entered the city, and Yancheng directly gave them several primary school palaces as the follow-up talent base of Plum Blossom Road to ensure that Plum Blossom Road can be passed on smoothly. After Meihuadao took the initiative to hand over most of the inheritance, it directly gave Meihuadao a lot of permissions.

Like Qingmei Dao people, they have read a lot of heaven-level Taoism because of this, but Qingmei Taoist people only read, observe, and study, and do not really practice, but put their energy on the Xuan-level Taoism, and put it on the road of returning to the basics and absorbing the Xuan-level Taoism to feed their own inheritance.

Although Qingmei Daoist is still a Taoist priest now, his foundation is far better than in the past, and he is very solid.

At that time, Yancheng, there was no Yushi, Qingxiang, Taoist is the highest existence, Meihua Dao as the first faction to vote, but also has a strong political significance, Meihua Dao's speculation was successful!

The many treatments that Meihuadao has received have also been heard of by Cangliu Dao people.

But now on this invitation, all kinds of treatment are not mentioned.

Cangliu wanted to be angry, but when he looked at the signature under the invitation, he couldn't express any anger.

The signatures are as follows: Hua, Changkong, Yu, Yan, Lin Er, Peng Bing, Shi (old uncle Jiang Shi......

On top of every name, there is a wisp of qi that is neither strong nor weak, and after a little sense, the anger that has just risen in Cangliu is suddenly gone!

The strength of more than ten feather warriors, what is this? This is called truth!

After reading the truth given by Yancheng, Cangliu Daoren coughed, and gave this truth to Uncle Shi (the junior brother of Tianyan Daoren).

Although Uncle Shi's cultivation is higher, Uncle Shi has been in retreat for a long time and is not good at government affairs, so it is Cangliu Daoren himself who actually makes the decision.

After receiving the invitation from Yancheng, Uncle Shi looked at it for a while, and finally looked at the name below, and looked at it speechlessly for a long time, and finally had to sigh, stroked his beard and said: "There is a successor in Yancheng, congratulations!" ”

After a while, all the Taoists had read this invitation, and when they looked at Qingmei Daoren again, their expressions were extremely complicated.

In the end, Cangliu Daoist spoke: "Qingmei Daoist, may I ask how the people of Huo County migrate?" Huo County is in the north of the Chao River, surrounded by the counties of Chao Country, and there is a Xuan-level Daoist soldier and five yellow-level Dao soldiers nearby, there are so many strong enemies on the side, if you want these ordinary people to leave, you really have more than enough strength to do it. ”

Qingmei Daoren smiled slightly: "These are not problems, Huo County is close to the sea, as long as you agree to come down, it will not be long before a super large fleet will come." ”

"Chaoguo is divided into the center and the four directions, the center is the twenty-six counties surrounded by the Chao River, and the four sides are the southeast, northwest and northwest, which are occupied by the four major Qing clans and many nobles, and there are not many places directly belonging to the monarch."

"Yancheng is located in the east of the Quartet, by the sea, Huo County is located in the north of the Quartet, and there is also a township directly by the sea."

"Huo County is only 3,000 miles away from Yancheng in a straight line, and if you take the sea route, Huo County is only about 4,500 miles away from Dongning Island."

"Today's big ships, controlled by warlocks who have comprehended the true meaning of water, can carry 300 people, and can travel 80 miles in an hour, and 960 miles in a day and night. It's only 4,500 miles, that's just five days. ”

"The only thing to consider is whether the sea route is safe, this road is too long, it is 4,500 miles away, this sea route has never been run before, and no one knows how many demons and monsters there are underwater."

"These demons, if exposed, are actually nothing. But many demons are hidden in the deep sea, and they are not visible on weekdays, so it is difficult to directly detect their information. ”

"If the people are operated on a large scale, if there is a big demon hiding in the deep sea to stir up the tide, the Daoists may still be able to survive by virtue of cultivation, but the people are almost certain to die!"

"This is not taking into account the impact of this move on Yancheng!"

Speaking of this, Qingmei Daoren sighed: "Today's Yancheng is changing with each passing day, and every day is a new look. ”

"To tell the truth, there has always been controversy within Yancheng about whether to start this large-scale rescue operation."

"Almost every warlock in Yancheng who has comprehended the true meaning of water travel is not worried about work, and such a large-scale transfer at one time will definitely have an impact on the development of Yancheng."

"And this trip is dangerous, the sea is unfamiliar, and the nest country may attack at any time......"

"Even the people on the ship may have become disgusted with Yancheng because their loved ones died in the sea."

"So, if you don't want to, forget it."

Hearing this, Cangliu Daoist hurriedly smiled: "Willing!" Willing! Absolutely! ”

"Next, I will immediately explain this matter to the people, and in addition, the Taoist friends in Yancheng should not be in a hurry, they can slowly open up the sea route."

"As for the warlocks who have comprehended the true meaning of the water line, Huo County can also provide a part."

"As for the danger, it is even more dangerous to stay in Huo County!"

I've been really busy lately, but, from today, the author will enter a new state, and I slept really comfortably last night, from seven o'clock in the evening to five o'clock in the morning and almost six o'clock in the morning, adding up to almost eleven hours, speechless, this is almost the longest sleep I have ever remembered......
