In Jianqi County, spring has begun, but the cold in the air seems to be colder than in winter.

The prefectural commander stood by the pond in a thick coat, admiring the fish that kept jumping out of the water to breathe after the ice was cut.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded behind him, and the chubby figure of the county man appeared behind him.

"What, the Unification Church is still not dead?" The prefectural order didn't look back, as if he knew who it was, and asked casually.

"Brother Yongnian, look at the green qi above your head!" The county Cheng said a little helplessly: "Didn't you find that the moat has dispersed a little fast recently?" ”

"Didn't you let the warehouse open and release grain? Those Diao people are making trouble again? The county commander raised his head, compared to a few days ago, this moat seems to be much lighter, he took out the official seal and closed his eyes for a while, and frowned.

They can not be afraid of the Guiyi Sect army, relying on this city protection and green energy, as long as the city gate is closed, even if the thief army is really fierce?

But now there has been a sharp decline in the morale of the moat, which is indeed a worrying and puzzling thing.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he specially opened a warehouse to release grain.

"It's not a way to keep the city gate closed, many people in the city froze to death before, although it was disposed of, but seeing that the spring ploughing has arrived, the city gate has not been opened, and many people can't make a living." The county man hesitated for a moment and said, "I see that the thief has left, how about opening the city temporarily?" ”

Kaesong?

The county order was a little hesitant, he had an order from the Jiang family to keep the city.

But if the city gate is not opened, as the county said, the people will have no livelihood, and it is not a way to continue to consume the green energy of the city.

"My lord, the head of the Zhang family asks to see you." A nurse came in and hugged his fist at the county order from a distance.

"What is he here for?" The county magistrate frowned, casually grabbed a handful of bait and sprinkled it into the fish pond, watched the bait eat it, and said casually: "Let him in!" ”

"Yes."

After a while, a middle-aged man came in, just met, and without saying a word, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the county order, and said, "Please help me." ”

"What does Zhang Yuanwai mean by this?" The county commander stretched out his hand to help him up, frowning.

"Yesterday I received a message from the flying pigeon in the village outside the city, saying that the thieves of the Unified Religion are coming again, and yesterday they began to preach the doctrine of the Unified Religion in the countryside, and began to measure the land, as long as they are willing to join the Unified Religion, there are ten acres of land to take, but the cultivated land they divided is my Zhang family!" Zhang Yuanwai said in a lamented voice: "The cultivated land in the next family is the family property accumulated by the ancestors for generations, which is completely in line with the laws of the imperial court, and I ask the adults to be the masters." ”

"Outside, it's not that the official doesn't care about you, I really can't help it!" The county commander sighed, if he really has the ability to do this master, he doesn't have to defend the city wall behind closed doors.

"Yes, outside the staff, those are all thieves, this Jianqi County county guard and the officials combined, there are only two hundred people, how to compete with them?" The county also helped.

"Don't worry, can the field divided by the anti-thieves be counted? Wait for this, those fields are not all you, don't worry. The county commander waved his hand and said, "Let's go back first, those anti-thieves won't be rampant for long." ”

Zhang Yuanwai begged a few times, and when he saw that the county order was obviously a little impatient, he could only sigh and leave.

"These people, their vision is always too shallow, and they divide the land against thieves? Heh~"He thinks this thing is funny, this Jianqi County hasn't been beaten yet, what's the use of dividing the fields?" If you leave today, you will have to come back tomorrow, and you can even take the opportunity to make a profit.

He felt that the person who came up with the idea was also sick.

On the other side, Zhang Yuanwai returned home in despair, but saw that several other family owners were already waiting here, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly surrounded him: "How is it?" ”

Zhang Yuanwai sighed, shook his head and said, "I shouldn't, I said that when the thieves were exterminated, I would redraw the field." ”

"Alas, if this is one or two families, it is fine, if the Guiyi Sect divides all the fields, how many people will it get? I can guarantee that if we dare to open this mouth, the people outside the city will swallow us alive. ”

"That county order is also a fool, I can't see through it."

"I don't think I can't see through it, it's that I don't care if we live or die!"

"What's the use of saying that? Now what? I've heard that Lu Xuan is a ruthless character, several of my friends in Sanyang County have written to say that if Lu Xuan calls, don't make some small moves, he kills big families, it is a family kill! ”

"I'm afraid that if we can't wait for people to kill, our land will be divided, and you will go with him then?"

"Ladies and gentlemen." One person suddenly said in a deep voice: "According to the current situation, the county order can't control this matter, in this case, why don't I open the city earlier, it is better than the arable land being completely occupied?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

This is forced and active are two different things, if the court investigates it again afterwards, it will be a big crime to kill the nine clans if you are not careful!

"This method is too extreme, don't mention it again!" Zhang Yuanwai shook his head, although he was in a hurry, he couldn't do things with the head of the whole family, although Lu Xuan was cruel, it would not be much worse if the law of the court was investigated.

"What then? Just waiting, watching me wait for my land to be confiscated? ”

Zhang Yuanwai shook his head, how could it be possible, it was his life.

He looked up at the green qi in the sky, hesitated for a moment and said: "Although we can't take the initiative to open the city to surrender, if we secretly help, it is not impossible, when the righteous army enters the city, we can also use this matter to ask those anti-thieves for credit." ”

"How can I help?" Some people are puzzled.

"The reason why this county is not afraid of anti-thieves is because of this green spirit of the city, but I don't know if you have noticed it, this green spirit of the city has faded a lot recently, I think it is inseparable from things outside the city, and I am afraid that many people outside the city have invested in the Guiyi Sect now."

Zhang Yuanwai looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We might as well add fuel to the fire and spread this matter in the city, I'm afraid this city protection will not last long." ”

To say that it is not only risky to directly gather people to seize the city gate and sacrifice the city, but if it is found afterwards, there may be a risk of killing the head, but if it is used to secretly spread the news, they are doing this.

When everyone heard this, they also felt that this method was safe, not only would it not offend the imperial court, but it would also allow the Unified Sect to break the city as soon as possible, and when the time came, they would also be able to use this to negotiate with the Unified Sect.

"Okay, done!"

After discussing the details, mainly the content of the rumors, the group dispersed.

In the next few days, Ergou and Sandao carried out land division work outside the city, which had nothing to do with the county order.

"Ergou, this moat seems to be running out, is this thing so effective?" On this day, Sandao frowned and looked at the city in the distance, a few days ago, the green aura of the city was still very strong, but now that I look at it again, it seems that there is only a thin layer left.

Ergou raised his eyes and glanced at the direction of the city, then shook his head and said: "Don't care about him, the commander has an order, before the field is divided, let him do what he does, as long as he doesn't go out of the city, don't pay attention to him!" ”

For Lu Xuan's orders, Ergou has always carried them out to the end, even if he saw that the green qi in the city was almost dissipated at this moment, he was unmoved, the main purpose of this time was to divide the fields, and the city was a trivial matter.

After this is over, there are three other counties to manage.

"My lord, is this land really given to us?" An old man took the credentials in his hand and looked at the two dogs with blank eyes.

"Don't worry, my husband is personally instructed by the commander of my family, as long as it is distributed to you today, this matter will be under the control of my Guiyi Sect in the future, as long as I am still in the One Sect for a day, whoever comes to rob your land, take this to find any one of the Unified Sect altars, and someone will help you out!" Ergou nodded affirmatively and made a guarantee.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" The old man knelt down tremblingly, wanting to kowtow, with these lands, this year's days are a little hopeful.

"Don't be like this, get up quickly." Ergou helped the person up and said, "There are still people waiting behind!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The old man hugged his credentials and got out of the way, for fear of being snatched away.

Ergou suddenly felt that the real qi in his body seemed to be much faster, and he turned his head to look at Sandao suspiciously: "Have you felt it lately?" ”

"What does it feel?" Three knives are incomprehensible.

"The speed of cultivating internal strength is much faster." Two dog roads.

"Nope." Sandao shook his head, what Lu Xuan gave him was the official seal of the Liang County Order, and the luck here increased, and the benefits naturally did not fall on his head.

"Weird, I feel like I'm in the late days after tomorrow." Feeling the vigorous internal breath in his body, Ergou shook his head and said.

"Let's do something." Three knives waved his hand: "Don't be lazy." ”

"Okay!"

On the other side, in Jianqi City, the county commander has been frightened for the past few days, and he has seen that most of the green qi of the city has disappeared, and now this green qi of the city can still stop the thief army?

Jianqi County Commander was a little panicked, if he continued like this, the green spirit of the city would be exhausted, let alone defend the city, and he would not be able to escape.

"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have promised Jiang Gongzi like that." Looking at the increasingly faint and faint moat, Jianqi County Ling was anxious again: "How should this be?" ”

After Jiang Shu fled, he arranged for county orders from all over the country to guard the city and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court.

It's just that more than a month has passed, and it has already entered spring, but the imperial court reinforcements that Jiang Shu said have disappeared for a long time, but the Guiyi Sect anti-thieves have become more and more rampant.

The county man sighed and said: "The green qi of the city is dissipating so quickly, I am afraid that there are also people in the city who are secretly fueling the trouble." ”

The county commander suddenly turned his head, looked at the county officer, and nodded after a while: "No wonder I haven't seen them jump out again these days, they are doing these things." ”

"Brother Yongnian, now is not the time to talk about this, I'm afraid this Jianqi can't hold it, I'll wait for the opportunity to break through, and if I wait like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be trapped and die here, I'll tell the court of these actions as soon as possible!" The county said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." The county magistrate nodded and said, "It's okay, you and I will go out of the city tonight." ”

It is impossible for him to die with the city.
