The Su family's procession passed through Zhongzhou, Wuzhou, and then entered Hezhou.

Hezhou is a terrain that is wide from north to south and narrow from east to west, and the road that Sujing wants to pass through is thousands of miles away. Along the way, Su Jing didn't know how much knowledge he had.

He saw the stone bridge over the river that spanned more than three kilometers, the cave that was more than two kilometers long, and the countless moats that turned into smooth paths in front of Taoism.

It was because he came from Earth that he was shocked.

Because this is not a modern democratic society, it is a world where imperial power is concentrated. The royal family has invested a lot of money and energy in people's livelihood, so that ordinary people in this world will have to catch up with the modern earth.

No, they live better than the earth, the food is not polluted, the air is clean. Taxes are very light and medical care is cheap. The well-developed transportation allows well-off families to travel. The good atmosphere makes the battle of the Qi Refiner and the world of ordinary people not overlap.

The biggest dream of ordinary people is that their children can be favored by the twelve palaces.

What Su Jing didn't expect was that there were similar movies in this world. No matter how small the town is, there is a theater, and it is usually a place for singing. During the New Year's holidays, there will be a big drama arranged by the empire, using Taoism to release phantoms, all of which are arranged movie-like stories. Most of them are things like the Eastern Qin Empire's overthrow of the tyranny of a hundred schools, but the expression method is that of a qi refiner, and there is no comparison with any technological special effects.

Ordinary people can't use Dao Arts, but they can feel the convenience that Dao Techniques bring to them. Every city is so clean, with a good water supply and water supply system, and a garbage disposal system.

In addition to the works with a strong cultural atmosphere, there are also a large number of novels told by storytellers, and the framework is not much different, usually talking about the era of a hundred schools. With his own efforts, a young Taoist priest became a powerful qi refiner, helping the royal family to destroy the brutal hundred saints, and after becoming famous, he became a feather and soared.

But it's interesting to note that in this world where a wife is legally recognized. The protagonists of these novels usually have many women to pursue, and they are all charming in one.

Xiu Xian does not forget the harem, it seems that the common people in different worlds have similar fantasies. The empire does not prohibit this kind of novel, also because although only one wife is legally recognized, in fact, Taoism and Confucianism do the same, except that they do not recognize the legal status of concubines, and it is not illegal to find more women.

Of course. There are also very powerful women in this world, and they don't break the law if they like a few men, and they are scolded at most.

What to some people should be a chaotic world is actually in order. The Qi Refiner is hiding in the market, but no one knows about it. For ordinary people, what they are most afraid of is not qi refiners, but demons. Under the suppression of the royal family, the Qi Refiner will not harm ordinary people. The demons are different, slightly climatic. There is a risk of bloodshed.

The Qi Refiner deliberately did not exterminate the demons and retain the diversity of creatures in this world, but the result was that ordinary people had a deep sense of dependence on the Qi Refiner.

Most people think that if there were no Qi Refiners, then everyone would still be struggling under the obscenity of the Hundred Schools. This is not surprising, when the saints of the hundred schools were still there. It's really a demon rampant. Many big demons even live in temples and become nobles. It's so easy for these big demons to want to eat some people.

It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Su Jing's feelings can't be described in words, he knows. The system of this world is definitely not very good, but he doesn't know what system is better to replace it.

The situation in Hezhou, there are no nine major families, the Zhou family, the Su family and the Zhu family all have a bit of power in Hezhou, but in the center of Hezhou, it is the territory of many small Qi refiner families and some scattered cultivation sects. The forces here are so chaotic, there have been bloody attacks on each other, and finally under the mediation of the Su family, the Zhou family, and the Zhujiahe royal family, today's balanced situation has been formed.

The so-called mediation, of course, is a very violent way, and if you don't give in, you will be exterminated.

The royal family does not want to exterminate these small families or sects, but if they destroy the peace of this country, there is no need to exist.

As a result of this mediation, there were one hundred and eighteen small Qi Refiner sects and as many as fifty-six small families on the territory of Hezhou. However, unlike the small potential forces in other regions, these potential forces that have been baptized by blood have a common feature, that is, there is at least one strong person in the Jindan realm.

In the middle of Haju, the Tokyo Prefecture built by the Imperial Family, is more prosperous than Yujing City. Yujing City is the capital, and more of a symbol of a country. Tokyo Prefecture, on the other hand, is a purely commercial city, built on the Chishui River. This Chishui River is not ranked among the top ten in China, but the water area is also quite broad, and it flows into the sea in the east, and the shipping is developed.

The real reason for Riverstate's prosperity is because there are so many opportunities here. Although the Nine Great Families and the Twelve Dao Palaces also have a wide range of disciples, the problem is that the people who can meet these power standards are really one out of ten thousand. For smaller family sects, the selection of people is not so strict.

The carriage entered the Hezhou realm, got off the main road, and the speed suddenly decreased. After all, a carriage is not a tank, and the impact of road conditions is still great. Unless you are willing to consume something like a fairy stone as a constant formation supplement, otherwise, in the plains and wilderness, the speed of this kind of carriage can run for more than thirty miles is already good.

"Where are we going?" Su Jing saw Su Jian leave the road, a little strange.

"We're going to collect the bills. ”

"Collect the bills!"

"Well, when I came, I borrowed some things out of the house, and now I should have doubled the interest. If you don't accept it again, I'm afraid that the other party can't afford to pay it back. Su Jian looked like a chow peel and smiled slyly.

Su Jing was puzzled, Su Jian suddenly felt bored, and said: "There is a Majiaji in front, which is actually a town. There is a small family living here, and the villages within a hundred miles are all within the range of the Ma family's power. The last time I passed by Tokyo Prefecture, the Ma family was there to buy materials to build a longbow, but unfortunately they didn't have enough money, so I made up for them by the way. ”

"The Ma family doesn't even have a golden pill, it's not among the fifty-six clans in Hezhou. You said that such a family still wants to refine Dao weapons, but it is basically a failure. I lent the money to Lu, if they can't pay it back, then I'm sorry, the Ma family will belong to me. ”

Black, so black!

Su Jing felt that he still hadn't learned to adapt to this world, and he couldn't think of this kind of method.

Su Jian glanced at Su Jing and said, "I didn't do anything in the materials I gave them, I was already very kind, generous, and ...... What's that, little mirror, right?"

"What's right or wrong, sister, what do you like about the Ma family?" Su Jing didn't think Su Jian was mad, since the other party was willing to borrow, then he couldn't complain about anyone.

"The population of Majiaji is almost 30,000 or 40,000 young and strong. Most of them are good at archery. The Imperial Army is established, and the archers account for about 20%, so these people are still very valuable. But the most important thing is that they dare to refine Dao weapons without Jin Dan, and they must have something great at hand. This thing is at least a high-grade Taoist vessel, similar to the heaven and earth copper furnace and the like, and if you get it, it can be regarded as a lot of family contributions. ”

"It's a trick. Su Mu couldn't help but say.

"Yes, yes, I didn't force them. And these things are all guessed by me. Besides, what if they succeed in refining? By the way, the material can also produce a low-grade Dao weapon, which is enough to repay my loan. If they have what I want, sooner or later they will be known by other families, and the Ma family's strength will not be able to protect that thing at all. ”

Su Jing sighed, although this is called strong words, but no matter how you analyze it, it is not wrong. If Su Jian didn't want to get his hands on it, other families would find out and wouldn't let go of the Ma family.

In this world, the bloody means are not gone, but they are just unknown. If the Ma family is really destroyed, no one will come to investigate thoroughly.

The path passed through several wide valleys, and it took the Su family's team more than two hours to see a city from a distance when it was almost dark.

This place called Majiaji, a city wall has one kilometer, the city wall is less than ten zhang high, it is built thick and simple, without any decoration, it looks like an earthen city.

The Su family's team was moving very much, and the smoke and dust could be seen flying from a distance, and the people in the city were also quite nervous. Because the back of the Ma family set is more than two hundred miles up, the city of Xiao Li's family in Hezhou.

Because of the Li family in Dingzhou, this family surnamed Li can only be called the Xiao Li family. Xiao Li's family has always wanted to annex the Ma family, but they have no chance. It is impossible to snatch it directly, there are fifty-six small families in Hezhou, if the Xiao Li family does this, it is an excuse for other families.

Xiao Li's family doesn't dare, it doesn't mean that the Ma family can take it lightly. The Su family's team was too large, with five hundred people all riding horses, as well as twenty carts, one suspected chariot. If there were siege equipment on the cart, the walls of Majiaji would not be able to resist it at all.

The drums sounded at the head of the city, and the figures were crowded, and rows of ballista carts were pushed out and pointed to the city.

The people of the Su family didn't care, with Su Jian here, these heavy crossbow salvos could also be stopped by her alone.

The gate was not closed, but more than a hundred horsemen rushed out from it, all of them sturdy men, armed with longbows, with large quivers behind their backs.

Su Jing was surprised, in this kind of small place, there are at least three congenital stages among the light riders who run out, and the rest are basically all induced into the body.

The more than 100 light horsemen went out of the city, and instead of coming up to meet the Su family's team, they ran away to the side. There was no way, one was that they didn't dare to do it easily, and the other was that the light cavalry wanted to attack the team with the cart, which was looking for death. The only way to play is to rely on the speed of short sprints, bypass the enemy in front of you, and shoot with a bow and arrow in the side.

The people of the Su family were still not in a hurry, but they reduced their speed and separated the vehicle to both sides, so as not to make the other party nervous, and directly shot at the side of the team.

If the other party is nervous and shoots indiscriminately, the people of the Su family will never say anything that is understandable. So it's better to take some precautions, and now Su Jian doesn't plan to dig a pit for the other party.

From the gates, a rider came out, silver armor, armed with a spear.

After this man rushed out of the city gate, he went straight to the Su family's team, stopped his mount twenty zhang away, pointed with the spear in his hand, and shouted: "This is the place of the Ma family, who is coming!" (To be continued.) )
