Chapter 322: A Strong Enemy (1) Thank you for the reward from the book friend "Ye Xiaoju"!
During these days, the most discussed among the large and small princely families in the Xue Kingdom was a new nobleman named Jiang Yuan in Wushu County.
Originally, most people didn't know Jiang Yuan, but when they heard that the famous Corpse God Dao and the Five Ghost Dao were wiped out by this Jiang Yuan one after another, people couldn't help but be curious about him for a while.
With the deep digging of the people of good deeds, it was discovered that this Jiang Yuan was bold, he was not only targeting demons and ghosts, but even bloodied the forces of the two great families in Wujian City, killing many people.
It's not that there are no people who dare to do this, but after doing it, there is only this Viscount Jiang Yuan.
"I bet on Jiang Yuan, I won't live for a month!" someone said firmly.
Others disagreed:
"Do you know that banshee Yiqing, who has been in the limelight among the demon clan recently, I heard that Jiang Yuan has been her face leader for a while, so the Ming Snake clan has made it clear that they support Jiang Yuan. There is also the Lan family, who migrated 20,000 slaves to fill the population of Wei County. With the support of both parties, it may be difficult to kill Jiang Yuan. ”
"I've also heard some gossip," someone added, "I heard that the king is going to promote Jiang Yuan's title from viscount to earl, and nearly one-third of the land in the more than ten counties of Wushu County will become Jiang Yuan's fief." ”
"So the two great families will not kill Jiang Yuan, otherwise how can the king plan to canonize a dying person?"
"We can't speculate on high-level matters, but I heard from the guests from the north and south that Gu Shentong had noticed that Jiang Yuan and Lu Junsheng were mixed up. The new Gu King of Gu Shentong has already released his words, and whoever shields Lu Junsheng is the enemy of Gu Shentong. ”
......
The rumors about Jiang Yuan became more and more intense, and even spread from the Gong family to mortals.
Many of Jiang Yuan's former subordinates in the Star Demon Sea have already begun to discuss leaving for Wei County and joining the helmsman.
The people in Pengcheng talked about it after the dinner, not knowing when Peng County would become Jiang Yuan's fiefdom.
Acropolis.
With the survivors of Jiqi Village moving in, and 20,000 slaves being sent to the Lan family, the Acropolis, an empty city like a ghost, finally began to become lively.
First of all, the biggest headache is naturally the problem of food, but fortunately, the Lan family has a good service, and there is a lot of money and grain with the slaves, and if you save some money, it is enough to support the harvest of crops.
Housing in the city is not a problem, and there are large areas of vacant houses for people to occupy. Outside the city, there is also a large amount of farmland for cultivation.
With the continuous elimination of the remnants of the demons and ghosts in Yangwei County, these two places have begun to become safe.
The road from Wei County to Qi County was reopened, and traders began to travel between the two places.
For now, security in the city is a big problem.
Because houses, food, and land are all obtained out of thin air, many people here do not cherish them.
After the 20,000 slaves became commoners, they finally had their own property. Some people are grateful for this, while others are not satisfied.
In the Acropolis, however, several gangs have begun to emerge, snatching territory and women from each other.
However, fortunately, Xie Yun, who was in charge of the military as the family commander, and Yinque, who was in charge of criminal law and order as the family secretary, had recruited a group of young and strong people from among the civilians to form the Yi soldiers of the food and began to suppress the riotous mob.
With these two powerhouses of the realm, there was basically no resistance in the process of suppression.
It's just that the silver sparrow seems to be very soft-hearted, unless the most vicious people are sentenced to death, and the rest of the people are mainly educated.
Such a gentle is obviously not applicable to today's Wei County, and the authority can only be established by re-enforcing the canon.
However, Yinque does not seem to have any intention of changing her policy, and no one cares about her.
Qi Yuxing, who had previously settled in Qi County, also came to Wei County, and Qi Yuxing held two positions, Jia Situ and Jia Sikong, responsible for taxation and building reconstruction.
Begin to arrange labor for the civilians of the city, so that they do not have nothing to do and cause trouble.
The busiest of them all was Lu Junsheng, who was in charge of discussing and formulating laws with a group of scholars.
Wei County was initially decided, and the various situations in the county were very complicated. Therefore, it is not appropriate to completely apply the laws of other places, and it is necessary to have a set of laws that are in line with the situation of Wei County as soon as possible so that everything can be followed.
Everyone was busy, but Jiang Yuan, who was the lord of this place, became the most idle one.
He spent an hour in the morning basking in the sun at the head of the city, and waited until dinner before returning to his makeshift residence.
As Jiang Yuan returned, the meal was quickly served, and a table was full.
But sitting at the dinner table, Jiang Yuan was the only one.
Lu Junsheng and the others were very busy, and they had no time to eat with Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan just lifted the chopsticks, and then put them down again. He called a servant girl and asked:
"What about Lin Yulin?"
This maidservant girl came from Pengcheng to follow Jiang Yuan, and she sighed and said:
"Lord Shenmu is still the same as a few days ago, he has been huddled in the room without seeing anyone, he doesn't eat or drink and cry all the time, he sleeps when he is tired of crying, and he wakes up and then cries......"
Speaking of which, the maidservant's eyes were also a little red, and Lin Yulin's state made her very uncomfortable.
Jiang Yuan understood that with the death of Princess Youyue, Lin Yulin lost the person closest to him, and grief was inevitable.
He commanded:
"Meals are hot at all times, and whenever she wants to eat, she has to deliver them immediately. ”
The maidservant bowed and said:
"Master, the slaves and maids have been explaining that the kitchen is hot. ”
Jiang Yuan nodded, then shook his head and stood up:
"I'll see for myself. ”
Princess Youyue died to help herself, and the fragments of her soul have been kept by Lu Junsheng. What's more, Jiang Yuan had promised Princess Youyue to take good care of Lin Yulin. At this time, you can't let the dryad go.
He left the guest hall and made his way to the backyard.
A white giant dog lying in front of the room with a depressed face was the steamed bun raised by Lin Yulin. It wasn't until Jiang Yuan arrived that it raised its head and called twice.
Walking outside the room with the doors and windows closed, Jiang Yuan knocked on the door:
"It's me. ”
No one in the house responded, so Jiang Yuan pushed the door directly and stepped in.
The room was dimly lit, and there was a faint musty smell.
The dryad was lying on the bed, curled up in a ball, with his back to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan came to the edge of the bed and sat down, and patted Lin Yulin's shoulder with his hand:
"I promised your sister that I would treat you like my own sister. Don't worry, I'll treat you well in the future. I will buy you delicious and fun food every day. ”
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Lin Yulin did not make any moves, nor did he respond at all.
"It's not going to die, is it?" Jiang Yuan was shocked.
He leaned over and looked at Lin Yulin's front, but saw that the dryad's eyes had been crying, and the pillow had been wet.
Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and began to wipe away tears for her with his sleeve.
"Brother Jiang Yuan......" Lin Yulin said in a weak voice, "My dream has changed......
Dreams are the world of consciousness!
Jiang Yuan frowned, he had already told Lin Yulin not to enter the world of consciousness without permission, but she was not obedient.
But now is not the time to punish her, Jiang Yuan thought about it and said:
"What's becoming? Can you take me in and have a look?"
Lin Yulin nodded.
So Jiang Yuan also climbed onto the bed, he hugged the tree demon in his arms, and Lin Yulin also hugged Jiang Yuan with dependence.
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Yuan began to hum a children's song.
After a while, Lin Yulin finally fell asleep, and the unique fragrance began to fill Jiang Yuan's mind.
This is a familiar feeling, a prelude to entering Lin Yulin's world of consciousness.
His head was suddenly empty.
Immediately after, Jiang Yuan woke up suddenly.
He had already come to another place.
In front of me is the huge and boundless giant tree. Jiang Yuan then violently maintained his vigilance, and the consciousness of the demons in this place was also able to come.
But soon, Jiang Yuan understood what Lin Yulin meant when he said that the dream had changed.
Jiang Yuan's world of consciousness is filled with boundless darkness and loneliness.
And Lin Yulin's world of consciousness used to be a place where the sun was shining, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the scenery was beautiful.
But now, it's the other way around.
The sky turned gray, as if there was a gloomy knot that could not be dispersed.
The original murmuring stream has dried up, and the bottom of the dry stream is filled with countless dead fish that are rotting.
The mountains were bare, with only gray-brown rocks. The vegetation on it has withered.
In the distance, green farmland and clean cities have been razed to the ground.
The yellow, rotten leaves float around the world, like paper money scattered on the grave.
Lin Yulin walked out of the giant tree, her eyes full of sadness, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She came to Jiang Yuan, threw herself into Jiang Yuan's arms, and screamed.
Jiang Yuan gently patted Lin Yulin's back:
"Yulin, don't be like this, I have already eaten the black corpse and avenged your sister. ”
Lin Yulin still cried and shouted:
"I don't care! I want Sister Youyue! I just want Sister Youyue!"
Jiang Yuan sighed, that innocent, lively, and carefree dryad couldn't come back.
This may be a kind of growth, but growth has always been cruel.
Broken Dead Jun Yu stood up from behind Jiang Yuan and whispered in Jiang Yuan's ear:
"There are no outsiders here, we eat her!
Jiang Yuan raised his elbow and unceremoniously slammed it into the face of the Broken Dead Junyu.
Broken Jun Yu covered his nose and retreated with a strange smile.
"I'm so tired...... Lin Yulin put his face on Jiang Yuan's chest, "I really want to find a place where no one is there to sleep, and sleep for a long, long time." Maybe I'll wake up, and Sister Youyue will come back......"
Jiang Yuan was silent for a while and said:
"Then I'll find a place for you to sleep, and you can sleep for a long time without being disturbed. ”
Lin Yulin stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Yuan's shirt tightly:
"Then I want Brother Jiang Yuan to accompany me, I'm afraid that I will wake up, and even Brother Jiang Yuan will be gone...... And the steamed buns are also with me!Sister Youyue is gone, I can't live without you anymore......"
"Okay!" Jiang Yuan agreed, "I'll go find a place to sleep for you." ”
Lin Yulin reluctantly left Jiang Yuan's arms, she looked back at Jiang Yuan as she walked, and finally she completely integrated into the giant tree and disappeared.
Jiang Yuan's body was pushed away by the invisible force, flying farther and farther, and finally left this world.
Jiang Yuan on the bed woke up, and the tree demon Lin Yulin was still asleep.
In the acropolis, the sound of alarm bells has sounded at some point, and the city is in chaos.
The roof of the room disappeared in an instant, and an invisible force seemed to be staring at Jiang Yuan, blocking the time and space around him.
Jiang Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky, he knew that the masters of the two great families were still here.
