The castle is located in a basin surrounded by mountains.

The capital of the county is quite prosperous, so it is more and more crowded, and it is becoming more and more crowded.

There is a number of land, but the number of people is infinitely increasing, which forms a contradiction of more people and less land.

Commerce is prosperous on the Moon Continent, but commerce is only a stage for those big families.

The vast majority of people still depend on the land for their survival.

More than eighty percent of these lands are in the hands of big families and eunuchs, and there are very few ordinary people who own land.

There are many people and little land, there is no way, only reclamation, and the land that can be cultivated is limited, so I started the idea of the surrounding barren mountains.

Entering the mountains to open up the wasteland is a boom in recent years.

And in this barren mountain is the territory of demons and others, and the demons have been at peace with people for nearly a hundred years, but the expansion of human beings has compressed the space of demons, and contradictions naturally arise.

In fact, there were not many demons in the mountains around the city, but the demons and humans have lived peacefully over the years, and there have been basically no major conflicts, so they have developed rapidly, but the demons basically do not go out of the mountains, and humans rarely enter the mountains, and they don't know much about the situation of demons.

In fact, the number of demons has increased dramatically over the years, and the living space has become crowded.

But the demons did not first rob the human territory, but the human beings invaded the territory of the demons, so the conflict intensified.

Those who enter the mountains to cultivate the land are often attacked by demons, and the losses are not small.

The soldiers of the county also went into the mountains to drive away the demons and kill them, but the effect was not good, and they did not know the losses.

Zhang Xian and the others felt a solemn atmosphere when they entered the city.

"General Yue, you take someone to find out, what's going on here?"

Zhang Xian instructed Yue Shanqian to find out what the situation was, and he asked a general in Yijun who picked them up, but the general did not answer directly.

Later, when he saw the local officials, Zhang Xian didn't ask.

Resting in the post house and sending away the officials who accompanied him, Zhang Xian called Zhang Yue over.

"How are the past two days?"

"Hmph, not good. ”

Zhang Yue snorted sullenly.

"Hahaha......"

Seeing Zhang Yue's appearance, Zhang Xian laughed.

Zhang Yue rolled his eyes, but Zhang Bao quietly retreated, preparing to escape.

"Do you know why Zhang Bao did that?"

Zhang Xian glared at Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao had no choice but to stop, in fact, Zhang Bao beat Zhang Yue, not with any good attitude, but just thought it was fun to bully Zhang Yue, Zhang Xian naturally knew what Zhang Bao did to Zhang Yue, and there was a reason why he didn't care.

Zhang Bao was embarrassed, and Zhang Xian gave him steps, so that Zhang Yue felt that he asked Zhang Bao to do it, so as not to make them resentful.

Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Xian with a smile.

Is there any reason for people to beat him?

"Since you were injured, you have consumed too many medicinal stones and pills, and not many of them can be refined and absorbed, so a lot of them have accumulated in your body, and you have been injured very seriously, although the meridians have been damaged, although they have recovered, but your uncles and uncles feel guilty and have been too pampered with you, and you have become lazy again, so your cultivation has improved, but that is all superficial, in fact, your real cultivation has declined.

Drug deposition and atrophy of the meridians are the biggest drawbacks of monks, and if you don't practice diligently before returning to your family, it is impossible to truly break through the shackles and reach the realm of a holy master. ”

Zhang Xian's words broke down the problems that had arisen in Zhang Yue's cultivation, which made Zhang Yue suddenly feel that his resentment against Zhang Bao for beating him in the past few days also dissipated, but Zhang Bao was even more embarrassed.

In fact, Zhang Bao didn't beat Zhang Yue just after he was caught.

But as soon as he was free, he went to Zhang Yue to learn, Zhang Yue's actual combat experience in martial arts was too much inferior to Zhang Bao, and every time he stood, he was abused very badly.

And this kind of exchange, Zhang Bao and Zhang Yue didn't realize that this Zhang Yue had great benefits.

On Jinwan Island, Zhang Huizong and others doted on Zhang Yue too much, so Zhang Yue's current state appeared.

If Zhang Yue wants to break through the shackles, he must go through non-stop fighting, digest the residual medicine, stretch the meridians, and reach the best state before he can start to break through.

Zhang Bao undoubtedly became the best sparring partner.

"I see. ”

Zhang Xian nodded at him with satisfaction.

Zhang Yue gratefully pulled Zhang Bao away, he was very eager to return to the family to advance the rank of the saint master, in the family, the cultivation is high and low, and the treatment varies greatly, among the peers, your cultivation is high, and your status is naturally high.

Zhang Xian took this into consideration, so he decided to try his best to help Zhang Yue advance to the Holy Master on the way to Jianye City.

Yue Shanqian went out to investigate, and reported when he came back.

"According to the people of the city, there may be a tide of beasts tonight or tomorrow. ”

"Beast tide?"

This happened for many years, and even if it was on a large scale, it was just a matter of sending troops and horses from various places to disperse it.

But looking at the atmosphere of the city, it seems that this beast tide is not so simple.

"This thing is very strange, you continue to send someone to inquire, and send someone to contact Zhang Hui, if there is really a beast tide, let them approach us. ”

Zhang Xian felt that this beast tide was too coincidental, and there must be some kind of factor here, which may be aimed at them, so he had to guard against it.

In the past, when the alliance was met, there was an unexpected beast tide that caused the death of two princes and kings.

The Qin Emperor was not responsible for the deaths of the two princes and kings, citing the accident.

"Could it be that Qin Mu is also going to have such an accident?"

It is impossible for Zhang Xian not to think so.

Because Qin Mu definitely didn't want Zhang Xian to reach Jianye City smoothly, as long as Zhang Xian saw him, he would inevitably accept the canonization of the princes and kings.

In that way, the Xia Kingdom will justifiably become a vassal state, and if Qin Mu wants to target him, he will be afraid of the ideas of other vassal states, and even Zhang Xian will send a document to announce the princes of the world, as long as the reason is sufficient, he will get the support of many vassal states, so that he will help.

That is to say, after the Xia State was recognized by the Qin Empire, it would be among the princes of the world, and if it were not for the blatant rebellion of the Xia State, the Qin State would not be able to take the initiative to attack the Xia State.

Although this is only an agreement, it can be valued very much by the weak vassal states, and this is the best cover for pulling aid.

Of course, there are many reasons for a strong country to annex a weak country, and the agreement is just a game set by the strong, and he can protect the weak and use it to swallow the weak.

"Uncle Tai, find a way to contact the Red Evil. ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Xian was cautious and decided to use the intelligence of the Red Evil, which was not his own territory.

Uncle Tai promised to leave the post house with Zhu Wei.

At the time of the lamp, Yue Shanqian came to report again.

"It has been determined that there is a beast tide tonight, and as for the scale, Zhang Hui and they moved to the restaurant next to the west of the post house. ”

"Well, Zhao Zuoxuan and Zhang Xian will meet you. ”

After Yue Shanqian retreated, Zhang Xian ordered Xiao Fei to recruit Zuoxuan and Zhang Xian.

After the two came, Zhang Xian said to the two after sending the idlers.

"You have to be vigilant tonight, I always feel that this beast tide is ......"
