Chapter 488 The City Lord is gone?
What Shen Feng didn't know was that for Jianlong City or the entire Mengyue Empire, although it had been brilliant, how many years had it been since he had captured a prisoner? What's more, like now, a large number of captives is completely wishful thinking for a weak country like the Mengyue Empire, which has always survived in the cracks of big powers.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Feng suddenly came like this, which made everyone at a loss.
After all, his own food is still provided by Shen Feng, and now that there are suddenly so many more people, he will inevitably share the food supply on his side.
But these problems are not a problem at all for Shen Feng.
Not to mention the two or three thousand captives now, even if there are ten times more, as long as they are properly controlled, they will still be allowed to work honestly.
You must know that when I was in the global village, although I didn't see these things with my own eyes, I heard not a thousand but eight hundred.
Therefore, Shen Feng's captive labor suddenly broadened the horizons of Qiu Yuanlong and others.
"That's right? They are captives, how can they be raised by uncles? Disobedient? Dishonest? Kill them directly, and starve to death if they are foolish, anyway, as long as they work, they will have a mouthful of hanging porridge to drink, but whoever steals and plays tricks will toss! These people fall into their own hands, and they are not on their own side, so they can play as much as they want?"
"Come on! Lord Shen is really wise and brave!" Song Wencheng, who was listening on the side, immediately patted his ass!
With the one who took the lead, not to mention Shen Feng's performance, it was indeed good, at least for the time being, he helped Jianlong Cheng escape the catastrophe. So, whether it's true or not, the sound of sycophants like a tide, wave after wave.
At this moment, the herald came to report, "I have found the lord of the city!"
"Hahahaha, that's right, we just thought of a way to deal with it, and the city lord's side came out!"
"What if someone else is the lord of the city? Hehe, no way, good fate!"
"That's nature, the blessed don't have to be busy, the unblessed run to break their intestines, we, it's the wave of running broken intestines!"
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, seeing that Longcheng once again relied on our own strength to kill the enemy, no matter what, there must be a time to reward meritorious deeds, and when the time comes, a few of you, maybe one by one, will also be promoted to the leader!"
......
Now that there is news from the city lord's side, Shen Feng and the others naturally want to go over and take a look.
Therefore, Qiu Yuanlong arranged his subordinates and temporarily brought ordinary prisoners into the prison and imprisoned them. As for the main characters such as Xi Chuyue and Wu Junbo, they were placed alone in a heavily guarded mansion.
"Shen Gongzi ......" Before leaving, Xi Chuyue looked at Shen Feng with a reluctant look.
"What's wrong?" asked Shen Feng, turning his head.
"It's okay......" Since entering the Dragon City, Xi Chuyue has once again returned to the demeanor of a strong woman, but when she saw that Shen Feng was about to leave, she suddenly panicked in her heart, and shouted involuntarily. But when Shen Feng asked, she didn't know what her purpose was for calling the other party.
"It's okay, you go with them first, I'll come and see you after I'm done here!" From Xi Chuyue's somewhat evasive gaze, Shen Feng could sense her uneasiness, so he walked over and comforted.
"Hmm!"
Xi Chuyue lowered her head and hummed softly.
"Hehe, what's the matter? I'm worried? I'll just say, you said that the two countries are at war, and you are a weak woman mixed in it, what's the matter? Now you know that you're worried? According to me, you shouldn't have come here in the first place. But don't worry, our people won't do anything to you. Shen Feng came to him and comforted him softly.
“......”
Regarding Shen Feng's statement, Xi Chuyue didn't answer, just looked at him there.
"Okay, you guys go over first, this is my former friend, let's say a word, follow me immediately!" Shen Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw that everyone was looking at him and Xi Chuyue.
"Hehe, my brother is not shallow, come on, we are not big enough to be Lord Shen, let's go first!"
Qiu Yuanlong smiled, then beckoned his subordinates and began to walk towards the prison.
"Brother Shen!" Guan Xinghe came to Shen Feng not far away and beckoned to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng walked up to him, Guan Xinghe hadn't spoken yet, and Zhuang Boyu next to him said worriedly: "Lord Shen, the two countries are at war, be careful in everything!"
"Okay!" Shen Feng agreed very happily! Then he looked at Guan Xinghe again, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just want to remind you, be careful, you can play, but don't fall into it, if you fall for the scheme, then your reputation will be ruined!" Guan Xinghe said as he looked in the direction where he was watching the captives leave.
"Hmm!"
Shen Feng also replied happily.
"Lord Shen, be careful, don't forget, your wife is a strong man who kills people without blinking! But I really admire Lord Shen's woman's fate, hahahaha......" Jia Gu also smiled and walked past Shen Feng's side.
After everyone left, Shen Feng returned to Xi Chuyue again, took out a few chocolate biscuits from his arms, and said with a smile: "This is for you!"
"Do you sympathize with me?"
Xi Chuyue didn't take the food handed over by Shen Feng, but smiled slightly and asked.
"No?" Shen Feng was stunned for a moment, "Do you still use other people's sympathy?" Let me tell you, this is the girls' favorite food, and I don't have many here, you taste it first, and when I'm done here, I'll prepare it for you when you want to eat whatever you want." When the time comes, I still have something I want to discuss with you!"
"Okay!" Xi Chuyue took the biscuits, and Shen Feng handed over a few more chocolates, "You can take this too, it tastes very good!" Shen Feng said with a smile.
"I said that you must have something to hide, and you still said no!" Xi Chuyue looked like I had guessed a long time ago, and took the chocolate.
"There are too few of these things, not enough for us to eat ourselves, how can we give them to those people? Okay, let's go too!"
"What do you want to discuss with me?"
The two of them talked as they walked forward.
"I'll talk about this until you've tasted it, and I don't know what the city lord's plans are!"
"Just reveal a little bit first, don't I think about it too?"
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to go outside and do some business or something!"
"Merchant, do you want to be a merchant?" Xi Chuyue glared at Shen Feng with an incredulous look.
"Of course, I'm the village head, and there are many people in our village waiting for me to earn money to feed!"
"What? You're the village chief, aren't you an official from Dragon City?"
The early moon of the west was a little confused.
"The village chief is my main job, and the others are just happened to meet and then worked part-time! And the purpose of the part-time job is to feed our villagers. ”
......
The two walked and chatted, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with Qiu Yuanlong and them.
Under Shen Feng's arrangement, Xi Chuyue followed Qiu Yuanlong's men to the courtyard where they were held. And Shen Feng and Guan Xinghe, the main figures who saw Dragon City, rushed all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.
Perhaps because of the rain, the sun was still strong, but it wasn't as hot as it used to be. Along the way, there were teams carrying corpses out of the city. The morning was originally quite good, and it was very weird.
"Seeing Dragon City is really a lot of disasters!" Zhuang Boyu sat on his horse, looking at the whimpering funeral procession, his heart was a little blocked.
"If you want to recover the vitality of Seeing Dragon City, I'm afraid it will take at least half a year!" Shen Feng looked at the bare trees everywhere, wondering when these trees would be able to recover. This military disaster is indeed too big a blow to Jianlong City.
"I'm afraid it won't work for half a year, we should suggest that the city lord reduce the taxes of the people for three years, otherwise, the prosperity that Dragon City once had will definitely cease to exist. Guan Xinghe rode on the edge of Shen Feng and said.
"Hehe, according to the character of the city lord, this is a bit difficult!"
"In fact, the tax is good to say, the main thing is that a lot of land is in the hands of those big families, and they can't pay any taxes, so if you want to reduce the burden on the people, the first threshold is actually these big families. ”
......
While speaking, everyone came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, but before they could enter, they heard the sound of howling and crying from inside.
And the guards in charge of guarding the gate, wanting to see Shen Feng and the others coming, also ran over with an anxious face, "General Qiu, Mr. Zhuang, you can be counted as here, the city lord has an accident!"
When they heard this, everyone was shocked.
"What's wrong?"
"Come in!"
The guard didn't say much, but directly took the horses of the crowd and opened the door to let a few people in.
After entering the door, Shen Feng and the others went straight to the place where the crying was the highest.
When everyone approached, they found that it was Shentu Yuanwu's study.
And outside the study, a large number of people had already knelt down.
Under the corridor of the study, Shentu Guangyuan and Wei Liren were holding a panicked Lang Zhong and yelled at him: "Hurry up and think of a way, if the city lord has any three longs and two shortcomings, then your whole family, don't want to live!"
Wei Liren said, "Who else can save the city lord?"
And that Lang Zhong panicked and said: "The city lord has already gone, even if you kill all Lang Zhong in Dragon City, it will be useless!"
The arrival of Shen Feng and the others naturally alarmed others.
I saw Xu Gaoshan, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, hurriedly walked up to a few people, and said with tears in his eyes: "The City Lord's situation is critical, you should hurry up and think of a way!"
"Take us through!"
A few people didn't care about asking anything, and walked directly to Xu Gaoshan inside.
In the room, I saw seven or eight Lang Zhong all kneeling on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
On the bed not far away, Shentu Yuanwu was lying there with a pale face, but it could be seen from the blood that was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth that the situation was not too good.
"Lord of the Castle!"
Qiu Yuanlong hurriedly rushed to the bed.
The next few people also went to the bed.
However, when everyone gathered around, they found that Shentu Yuanwu, who was lying on the bed, had already shown a stiff state, and had obviously been dead for a long time.
