At the beginning of May, the spring ploughing is coming to an end, and at this time in previous years, the star collar is in full swing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but this year is completely different, it looks very cold. The streets of the new town are no longer bustling with pedestrians, and the shops and restaurants are empty. Amusement parks, which used to be so popular at all times, are gone.

Since word spread that the Empire was going to deal with the Star Lords, almost all of the visitors had left. Although many people think that with the force led by the stars, the empire may not be able to win, but after all, no one wants to be affected by the flames of war.

And in the days when things are developing, the empire has taken action one after another, and the star leader has only issued a statement to stop the superuser, and there is no way to deal with the so-called bandits, and there is no countermeasure to the shortage of various resources and price increases. People are becoming more and more unoptimistic about the star collar.

Many nobles think that Jiang Xingchen is not there, the hearts of the people led by Xingchen are already unstable, and Jiang Meier can't even appease her own people, how can she withstand the suppression of the empire. Some people even turned over the matter of Shenlong's departure last year, thinking that at that time, it had already indicated that the Xingchen Leader was about to decline, and Shenlong's departure meant that Jiang Xingchen could no longer control the high-level demon beasts. Without the high-level demon beasts, can the force of the Star Leader still be called a threat?

After more than 10 years of glory, it is time for the star leader to come to an end! This is the result that most people believe...... This kind of rumor also took over, and the result of the spread was that more people in the Star Realm were leaving, and some of the artisans who were waiting to see were influenced by this talk and offered to resign from the realm. The merchants in the new city also walked more than half of this time.

The most ferocious thing was the aristocrats who bought houses here, and they began to sell their properties everywhere, and some even found Xingchenling and asked Xingchenling to reclaim it.

Of course, Mei'er would not agree to such a request, and implemented tough measures against the dozens of nobles who came to the city hall to make noise, and directly ordered the security team to beat people out.

Only then did the children of the nobles react, this was in the Star Realm, even if they were at a disadvantage in the face of the empire, it would be like a joke to kill them.

Hurriedly running back to their residences, these noble children were all dumbfounded. Not long ago, the house in their hands was still in demand, and there was nowhere to buy it if they had money, and now no one wants it, but their family spent 500,000 citrine coins to grab a set, and they all smashed it in their hands.

Originally, these noble children were ready to admit that they were unlucky, and they had to leave here if they didn't want the house, wouldn't it be even more unlucky to throw their lives here.

But at this moment, the news came from the city hall, telling them that the house could be recycled, and only 50,000 citrine coins would be given for each set, and they would take the house book to get the money if they agreed.

The children of the nobles were overjoyed, although the price fell more than ten times, but 50,000 yuan was not a small amount, and it would be good to get some of it back......

After dealing with these noble children, Xingchen Ling took in more than one billion citrine coins. Afterwards, the entire Star Territory was almost an empty city, as cold as a ghost.

In the lord's mansion, Grandpa Fu, the old man, Wanrou, Xianning, Ling'er and others all had gloomy faces, the empire was pressing step by step, but Mei'er was slow to move, according to this trend, the star leader would really have no one. Now except for a few restaurants and Jufu Qian Zhuang, Da Fu Lai, Tianxia Commercial Bank and other big commercial banks that have cooperated with Jiang Xingchen for many years, almost all the rest are gone.

"Mei'er girl, do you have to wait?" The old man is also a little anxious at this time, if he continues, the empire must still have a means, and the star leader is afraid that he will be broken.

In the past, the old man didn't want Xingchen Ling to fight with the empire, after all, he had served the empire for many years, and the Tang family was also a famous family in the empire. But now it can't be done if you don't fight, the Tang family and Jiang Xingchen have a relationship of both prosperity and loss, and if Xingchen leads the Tang family, don't think about it.

Mei'er shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's not time yet, the empire has made such a big move this time, it wants to disperse our forces again!"

Ling'er asked, "When will it be time?"

In the past two days, not only Qi Yueling, Zheng Xingling, Nanjiang Ling, etc., who have made good friends with Xingchen Ling, have frequently called, but several major kingdoms have also panicked. The starry collar did not move, which really made them feel uncertain. Even Luo Yu from the grassland wrote several times to ask Ling'er how her situation was.

Mei'er said with a cold face: "It shouldn't be long, the emperor will have more excessive actions in the future, and now it's just a small temptation." The moment he really forces us to disperse our strength, that's when we make a move! Now we still need to be patient!"

At this moment, the old man was in a trance, as if he saw Jiang Xingchen planning and arranging everything, Mei'er's behavior was too similar to Jiang Xingchen.

Not only the old man, but everyone else also had such a feeling, and the originally urgent mood suddenly relaxed a lot.......

Mei'er's judgment was not wrong, the emperor's methods came wave after wave, and they did not slow down in the slightest. Just two days after the check-out turmoil, the private soldiers suddenly came to report that two telegraph lines had been damaged, and communication with the outside world was blocked.

When the high-level people heard the news, they were excited, and the empire was too deceitful. The communication line was cut off, and the star leader became blind and dumb, how to contact the other major bases, and how to know the status of the transport vehicles.

Mei'er was very calm, and said lightly: "They won't let us get the news, cut off two lines, didn't they leave one for us?"

Xian Ning said with a smile at this time: "If they are willing to cut, let them cut it, and our wireless telegraph should also be activated, and there is no need for lines to contact the major bases." ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing.

The higher-ups knew about the wireless telegraphy, but the people below didn't. After the news of the cut of the telegraph line spread, the atmosphere throughout the territory became very tense. All the staff members had serious expressions and panicked and worried eyes in their eyes......

Two days later, the private soldiers sent out to escort steel and soda ash sent back the news that they had killed no less than five bands of bandits along the railway, more than 1,300 people.

This news finally made the people of the star collar smile a little. But then another bigger event came out, and many civilians came to the Star Collar and asked to drop out of school and bring back their children who were studying.

This situation angered the higher-ups, including Mei'er. The children sent by those forces with ulterior motives are not counted, and many of the children are recruited by ordinary people. At the beginning, they signed a contract, and they were going to work for Xingchen for ten years after graduation. In recent years, children's food, clothing, housing, transportation and study do not cost a copper penny.

Although Mei'er and the others could understand the feelings of those parents, they still couldn't control the anger in their hearts. It is certain that this is also the Emperor's method, through which those children who have been studying for four or five years can be brought back, and what these children have learned can be used years in advance.

Mei'er is really embarrassed this time, let her go, she is really reluctant. If you don't let people go, the news spreads, and the star leader will become the target of verbal criticism by the common people.

Late at night, Mei'er couldn't sleep for a long time: "What would I do if my brother was here......?" )
