Han Shang thought for a while and said: "The matter of food is relatively easy to solve, three Xuanshi monks are enough, but if you want to ensure the safety of this place, it should not be possible to rely on Xuanshi monks alone, I may have to live here for a while, then Qin Ye, you can't go west anymore, although there is the protection of Xuanshi monks, but there will also be monks in front of you who threaten your safety." ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly and said, "I've already thought about this, let's go here first, our purpose this time has been partially achieved, and then, let's stay in this town for a while to see how the sales of the pills are?" If it is appropriate, let's go to the capital of this country and take a look at it, and replace all the pills carried by the caravan with magic weapons and bring them back to the city of expulsion." ”

"During the time I go back, you can stay here and practice, I will leave you a monk who is at the upper level of the Xuan Master, and it will be more convenient for the two of you to do things, as for the relationship with the Dong family, you have to grasp it well, I have already told Dong Hou, we will try not to care about the affairs of their town, but if there is something that endangers the interests of our caravan, we must not compromise." ”

Han Shang nodded and agreed, and then Qin Wen called a few Xuanshi monks in the caravan, and selected three monks to let them follow the sworn brother of the Dong family master to the country of He Blade to buy grain, and after arranging these things, Dong Hou took his uncle back to the courtyard where Qin Wen lived, and the four of them left Lishan Town with the spirit stones given by Qin Wen.

Qin Wen breathed in the courtyard for a while, then took Han Shang out of the courtyard and walked towards the town, after a day of cleaning, the streets were already much cleaner, but some of the shops were still in tatters. It is believed that none of the monks brought back this time have the owners of these shops.

A dozen or so shops near the Dong family's courtyard had been cleaned, a few young monks were cleaning up the broken wooden doors of the shops with tools, piles of garbage were pulled out of the town by rickshaws, and smoke was seen rising above the Dong family's courtyard.

Qin Wen and Han Shang walked here, and everyone they saw bowed down to salute, and some people hurriedly called Dong Hou. Dong Hou walked out of his courtyard, and when he saw Qin Wen, he said, "Master Qin, where are you going to go?"

Qin Wen waved his hand and said, "I was a little depressed in the courtyard, so I came out for a walk, by the way, how is your father's situation now?"

Dong Hou introduced Qin Wen and Han Shang into his courtyard, and said, "He is still asleep, and after waking up for a while just now, I see that his spirit is much better." It's just that his body is still relatively weak, but he already felt hungry just now, and he drank a small bowl of boiled rice porridge, and he can't eat for the time being. ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly, and saw that there were several women cooking in the kitchen next to the Dong family, so he asked, "Is this preparing dinner?"

Dong Hou hurriedly replied, "I have already gathered the remaining grain according to what Qin Ye said, and now it is also supplied according to the amount, before the grain is delivered." Every day I let them cook the food in the house, and then let the people from outside come in and take their share. ”

The two of them talked. Qin Wen walked into the room where the head of the Dong family lived, and saw that although the face of the head of the Dong family lying on the bed was still a little pale, it was no longer the iron blue color that he had when he first saw him, and it was Dong Hou's sister who served him next to him.

After Qin Wen approached. Seeing that the wound on the chest of the head of the Dong family also had red blood oozing out, he opened his mouth and asked, "After he woke up this time, is this wound still bleeding pus?"

Dong Hou's sister hurriedly replied: "No, since the last time I forced out pus in the cave, when I just came home." There was also some yellow pus, and when my father got up just now, some blood gradually flowed out of the wound, and even the medicinal powder you put on it was washed away. ”

Qin Wen took out the medicinal powder from his storage bag and said: "It's okay, if you can bleed now, it means that the toxicity is about to subside, and the wound will heal little by little, you take these medicinal powders first, from tomorrow, you can only apply them once a day, and if they are washed away by blood, forget it, don't apply more." ”

Dong Hou's sister hurriedly took the medicine bottle in Qin Wen's hand and carefully put it into her cuffs, Qin Wen saw that the head of the Dong family had not woken up, so she took Han Shang and turned around and walked out of the room, Dong Hou also followed, when the three of them just walked to the door, suddenly a monk ran in from outside the door and said: "Young family master, a team of officers and soldiers came from the northeast, I saw that they were coming in the direction of our town, so I hurried back to report." ”

Dong Hou hurriedly asked, "How many of them came this time?" Have you seen the cultivation of the officers they are leading?"

The monk who reported the news thought for a while and replied: "They came on a spirit horse, I don't know the specific number, it is estimated that there are one hundred and ten people, and the officer who leads the team should be a monk at the lower level of the Xuanshi, but a team like them generally has more than one Xuanshi monk, it is estimated that there are about three." ”

Dong Hou hurriedly set his eyes on Qin Wen, and Qin Wen turned to Han Shang at this time and said, "Let's go over and have a look first, by the way, Dong Hou, you send someone to call the Xuanshi monk in my courtyard over, and ask him to protect the residents of the town around here, so that they don't divide their troops to raid when the time comes." ”

Dong Hou agreed, and left the courtyard in a hurry, Qin Wen and Han Shang took the monks who reported the news to the direction where the officers and soldiers came, and as soon as they walked out of the town, they saw two more monks from the town running back, and after seeing Qin Wen, they hurriedly stopped and said: "Qin Ye, they are right behind, it seems that they want to surround our town." ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly, watching a group of monks galloping behind him roll up a burst of yellow wind and dust, and came directly to the entrance of the town, these soldiers saw the monks at the entrance of the town from a distance, so they shouted loudly: "Listen to the people of Lishan Town, now that the new conscription order of the kingdom has been issued, each household will draw a strong man to enlist in the army, and a town must gather at least a hundred people." ”

Han Shang looked at Qin Wen at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said: "This is the way to fight here, all the strong men have to participate, like Lishan Town, there are not a hundred people in the entire town, and so many people have to be called into the army, if we are not here, it is estimated that Dong Hou and them will be directly arrested as soon as they get off the mountain." ”

The officer led by him had already mounted his horse in front of Qin Wen, and when he saw Qin Wen and the others waiting for them motionlessly, he just wanted to open his mouth to scold him while he was puzzled, but when he saw Qin Wen and Han Shang's cultivation, he instantly grabbed the reins of the horse, and the spirit horse neighed, and the hooves in front of him soared in the air.

The soldiers behind saw that the officer stopped, and they were also busy tightening the reins one by one, the officer looked at Qin Wen and Han Shang with some hesitation, and didn't know what to say for a while, Han Shang opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"

At this time, the officer confirmed that Han Shang was indeed a spiritual level cultivator, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "We are the army of the country of Huichuan, and half a month ago, the king issued a new conscription order, let us go to the south to gather soldiers, a family must produce at least one strong man, and a town must gather a hundred people. ”

Han Shang looked at the more than 100 soldiers in military uniforms behind the officer, with a disdainful expression on his face, and waved his hand: "Now there are not a hundred people in the entire Lishan Town, doesn't your summoning method drive all the ordinary people to the battlefield? I am the monk of this Lishan Town, forget it this time, you don't want to come again in the future." ”

The officer's face hesitated slightly, he also knew that these soldiers he was bringing were definitely not the opponents of the spirit level monk opposite, so he looked at an officer next to him who was wearing the same military uniform as him, the two made eye contact, and waved his hand at the soldier and said, "There is a shortage of soldiers in Lishan Town, let's go south." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly left the road at the entrance of the town, looking at a burst of yellow dust rolling up in front of him, and gradually moving away with the wind, Qin Wen didn't expect Han Shang to send these soldiers so easily, Han Shang said to Qin Wen at this time: "The recruitment here is like this, if there are high-level monks, they don't dare to break in, it is estimated that these soldiers should not come to Lishan Town again in the future." ”

Qin Wen and Han Shang walked back to the town, just happened to meet Dong Hou with a dozen young monks hurrying towards the entrance of the town, Dong Hou saw Qin Wen and Han Shang walking back leisurely, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "Master Qin, what about those soldiers? Didn't they rush into the town?"

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "You all go back, those soldiers were driven away by Han Shang, it is estimated that they will not come to Lishan Town again during this time, but you should also be careful when you are on duty at night, although the officers and soldiers have left today, but you have to be careful of the mountain bandits, once the situation is discovered, just like today, you must report it in time." ”

Dong Hou and the monks behind him couldn't help but glance at each other, although they knew that the deterrent power of the spiritual level monks was not small, but they could not imagine that they drove away the officers and soldiers so easily, when these officers and soldiers caught the strong men, although they were stronger than the mountain bandits entering the town, but they were also forcibly taken, they would find the mayor first, and every time they would take out a conscription order stamped with a big seal, if there were not so many soldiers in the town, they would need to use spirit stones or spiritual objects to redeem them, once the two sides negotiated and collapsed, it was possible to wash the entire town with blood.

Seeing that the danger was relieved so easily, Dong Hou and the monks in the town all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that in the future, there would be Han Shang, a spirit-level monk in their town, whether it was an officer or a mountain bandit, they would not dare to enter Lishan Town for half a step, and their faces all showed smiles.
