"Young Master. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" The voice of a family member outside the study sounded.

"Come in. Ye Feng replied in the house.

In was a stout and tall man, nearly seven feet tall, almost two meters tall.

Ye Feng remembered that his name was Li Zhuang, he was the head of the family in the village, and several of the family members in his hand were under him. The cultivation in the middle stage of Qi refining is the person with the highest cultivation in the village at present, and it is also the person with the highest cultivation in the Arashi Village. However, he has been a slave in the Li family for generations, so he doesn't have to worry about being loyal.

"Where did you go?"

"Yes, young master. ”

"Nothing unusual or major happening in the county?"

"There is no major event, but I found that the situation in the county town is much more tense, and the number of immortal guards in Xiancheng has suddenly increased, and the patrol has also increased a lot. And many people in the county town are worried, and some people feel panicked. Li Zhuang said what he saw and heard in the county this time.

"Worried, people are panicking?" Based on Li Zhuang's description, Ye Feng guessed that something bad had happened in the county and even the entire state capital. It's just that he doesn't know, and he believes that the new order will give him the answer.

"Where's the clerk in the county?"

"Here. ”

"You go and rest first, it's been a hard journey. ”

"Young Master Xie cares, and his subordinates have retired. ”

After receiving the order from the county and reprimanding the family, Ye Feng looked at the two documents in his hand.

He put Rizheng's letter of appointment aside and picked up another new order. Li Zheng is already a sure thing, and Ye Feng has also read his father's previous appointment letter, and he expects it to be much worse, so he is not in a hurry, besides, a small Li Zheng is not a big official.

The new order was enveloped in a fine spirit paper envelope, covered with a fire paint sigil and a small induction sigil, to prevent others from opening it without permission. Such documents must be opened with the seal of the Lizheng.

When opened, inside was an inch-long jade slip. Ordinary orders are written on spirit paper, and it is very formal to use jade slips.

Such commands are all encrypted, sealed with a special key array, and must be opened with a special wave of divine consciousness. Outsiders don't know what's inside. Of course, this kind of key is still a primary encryption, and high-level monks can easily crack it, but an order from a county will not attract high-level monks to snoop.

Ye Feng was the next Lizheng before, and his father had also taught him this key, and the memory he accepted happened to have this part of the content.

Using a special divine consciousness fluctuation to open the jade slip, a simple command was presented in Ye Feng's sea of knowledge.

After reading the order, Ye Feng was a little sad and happy.

The joy is that there is nothing special about this order, and it is not specifically addressed to him. There are Lizheng in every village in the county, but he was in a hurry, and he came down with Lizheng's appointment, and he just crossed in time, so he was a little suspicious.

Sadly, his current situation is not good.

He thought that the accidental death of his father, whom he had never met, was an example, but now he realized that he was wrong.

In just one month, nearly ten villages in the entire county were killed, and a pavilion chief was also killed, and the merchants in the territory were repeatedly robbed, and the losses were huge. The county suspected that the spies of Wei were working with the evil cultivators of Chu to cause panic and provoke a war between the two countries.

Speaking of which, I have to introduce the immortal kingdom where Ye Feng is now. The immortal country where Ye Feng is now located is called Chu State, which is a medium immortal country. The previous monarch of the Chu State was a man of great talent and strategy, and he single-handedly developed the Chu State from a small immortal kingdom to a medium-sized immortal kingdom, and the territory of the country was nearly doubled. The sandbar where Ye Feng is currently located was established at that time.

At that time, in order to develop the newly conquered territories, the monarch of Chu established several border states such as Shazhou, and sent displaced people, criminals and prisoners of war from all over Chu to these new continents for reclamation. In just over a hundred years, several border continents have become wealthy places, providing a lot of spiritual valleys and other resources for the Chu State.

But the good times did not last long, and after the previous monarch reached the end of his life, the new monarch only cultivated and ignored state affairs. In addition, because the monarch is not gifted, he spends a lot of resources and has no inch, which makes the treasury empty, the country is messy, and the people are not able to make a living. The state of Chu also had a tendency to be reduced back to a small immortal state.

Shazhou served as one of several states on the border of the Chu State, opposite the small immortal state of Wei.

In the past, Wei Guoan, who was opposite when the old monarch was there, guarded himself and did not dare to move. However, after the old monarch reached the end of his life, Wei ambitions exploded and repeatedly invaded the sandbank. For more than 100 years, the sandbar has been eaten away by one-third of the Wei State.

Arashi Village used to be considered a rear, not too close to the border. But with the continuous encroachment of the Wei State, it is now on the front line. Every year, when Lingtian is harvested, there are many Wei troops who invade and loot. As a result, a large area of spiritual fields outside the village was deserted, and there were barren rocks all over the place. Only more than 1,000 acres of spiritual fields close to the village are still being cultivated.

However, the previous invasion of Wei was only a small fight, using a cannibalization strategy, and it only occupied one-third of the sandbar for decades. Just robbed and this time officials and merchants were killed one after another, and the above analysis analyzed that Wei wanted to provoke a big war in order to occupy more territory and take this opportunity to be promoted to a medium-sized immortal state.

It was under these circumstances that the county issued a new order. It was the order in Ye Feng's hand that made him sad and happy.

The general meaning of the order is that Wei may provoke a major war, and the evil cultivators in the state also take this opportunity to stir up trouble. Therefore, the county ordered each village to repair the wall, and it was best to build the village as a fort to prepare for war and prevent the invasion of Wei. At the same time, the county is preparing to build a beacon tower on the border as an outpost to spy on the movements of the enemy country at any time.

Because Huangshi Village is already considered the front line, as expected, a pier will also be built outside the village of Huangshi Village, called Shoujing Pier. Be on guard against enemy invasion at any time.

However, in recent years, the territory of the sandbar has been unstable, and it has been repeatedly harassed by small forces of the Wei State, and the previously rich sandbar has become poor and weak, and the finances are tight. Therefore, all the costs of building the piers need to be borne by the nearby villages. As compensation, each village that builds the pier is exempt from taxation for the next three years.

And at the same time, Li Zheng of the village near the pier or the next Li Zheng was appointed as the fire chief of the pier, and ten immortal guards were under his command and recruited by himself.

This is also a reason why Ye Feng is worried.

Although he didn't know the situation in the barren stone village very well, he also knew one thing after accepting the scattered memories, the immortals had no money left in the family, and it might be possible to reluctantly repair the barren stone village, but it was more difficult to raise the cost of building a guard pier by himself.

And let him serve as the fire chief of the new pier platform, and recruit the immortal guard on his own. This is to use him as cannon fodder. The piers are all located at the front line, and the surrounding area is empty and uninhabited, once the foreign enemy invades, it is the fate of the king of Hades. He estimated that the surrounding villages were also worried as he was.

It is money and effort, and when the sandbar is not guaranteed, the officials of the state capital will still be able to escape, and they will be the most miserable people.

However, they can't help but do it, not to mention the consequences of disobedience. Their followers are here, and they will work hard for their own future. Hey, I'm worried. This is the officials above who have taken the pulse of these people.

But there is a little bit of good news. The surrounding villages contributed money and effort to build the pier, and the county may also feel that it was a bit excessive, so it was not too stingy in equipment. Each village can go and pick up a batch of equipment to guard the village and the pier.

Putting down the paperwork in his hand, Ye Feng got rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Although he is Lizheng, this is not his business alone, the invasion of Wei is related to the life and death of the entire village, and he has to discuss it with some old people in the village and plan well.

Putting aside the matter of the pier for the time being, Ye Feng picked up Li Zheng's appointment letter again. As expected, the contents were similar to his father's. It's just that now facing the pressure of the invasion of the Wei State, there are a few more words of encouragement on the appointment letter, and it is promised that in case of the invasion of the Wei State, the well-behaved Li Zheng will be recommended to a higher official position.

Ye Feng didn't take these promises seriously, everyone would say good things, it was just a trick to buy people's hearts. Let's think about how to complete the task of the pier and how to ensure the safety of the village.

Rest assured of the two orders, Ye Feng wanted to go out and find someone to discuss. But then a voice suddenly sounded in my head.

He stood still.
