Chapter 526: Zhang Yi Rises in White
Don't beg to meet the barren mountain of Liyang Zhenren and the Butterfly Fairy, which belongs to the territory of Dayu, a nine-pinned lower state.
Yizhou, a newly opened up Jipinxia Prefecture of no more than 100 years, a huge state, with a total population of no more than 10 million, except for the prefecture and city of Yizhou, which has a population of more than one million, the other sparse cities are no more than 100,000 people at most, and more people gather in various villages. This is a typical sparsely populated and sparsely produced lower state, but the natural resources here are as abundant as other large states in Dayu.
Just three hundred miles east of this barren mountain, there is a small city called Liushui City.
There are six large rivers meandering around Liushui City, which converge into a large lake precisely on the edge of Liushui City, and then merge into a large river and go straight to the east. Liushui City was built on a scoured plain by the big lake, the land is very fertile, there are 50,000 or 60,000 inhabitants in the city, there are nearly 100 small villages outside the city, and more than 90% of the residents rely on planting crops to survive.
Beqi is taking Liyang Zhenren and Butterfly Fairy along the main road towards Liushui City. Don't beg to Liyang Zhenren and the Butterfly Fairy to say that with the identity of the two immortal elders and the Heavenly Fragrance Country like the Butterfly Fairy, they should not suffer in the wilderness, they should go to the city to find a comfortable place to live, and find dozens of maids to serve diligently.
Liyang Zhenren and Butterfly Fairy are both pampered people, and the fleeing life of more than three months of exile has long been unbearable for them. Listening to Beggar's bewitchment, the two couldn't help but be moved. In addition, both of them were seriously injured, and they really needed a better environment to heal their injuries, so they obeyed Beggar's advice and followed him to Liushui City.
Beg even told them that in this kind of wilderness in the wilderness of Jiupin Xiazhou, it is impossible to wait for too many passing immortal cultivators, and there is nothing to rob if they want to. Instead of trying their luck to rob the immortal cultivators who pass by, it is better to rob the government of Liushui City. Many states, counties, cities, and towns of the Dayu Dynasty will collect a large number of tributes in Pingrì, and pay tribute to the Dayu royal family every few years.
After saying this, Liyang Zhenren and Fairy Xuandie nodded and applauded again and again, they thought that Beggar's life was in their own hands, and they were not afraid that he would be able to do anything with a little Yuanying monk, and the two of them were relieved and bold to let Beg do it.
All the way to Liushui City, don't beg to look at the surrounding scenery curiously. Six large rivers flow into the big lake at different places near and far, and Liushui City is located on the edge of the lake, less than three miles from the lake. Outside the city are full of extremely fertile fields, at a glance, thousands of miles of Qianmo vertical and horizontal, everywhere is fertile farmland, sparse more than 100 small villages are distributed in this thousands of miles of land, a large number of farmers are cultivating between the fields.
In the wind, almost the rice at the height of someone's chest tumbled, turning out a half-yellow and half-green rice wave, and a fresh fragrance of crops hovered around, take a deep breath, don't beg to feel refreshed. Hundreds of Lomb people were pulling ploughs in the distant fields, turning the heavens and the earth into waves, and a large group of farmers followed behind these Lombor people, sowing seeds in the turned fields, a busy scene.
There are thousands of people in the sky who spread their wings and fly high, they are excitedly circling and flying high in the sky, and some people play flutes in the air, and the terrible sound of the flute frightens the birds from far and near not to approach. With these feathered people in charge of the air, no bird dares to rush into the field to peck at the rice, and the city guards of Liushui City are also making the best use of them, and the overall planning is very good.
What makes Beg feel strange is that in addition to these people who are farming, on the flat land in the fields near and far, there are always small groups of young people practicing their fists and feet in a serious cāo. These young men punched like the wind, and the fists shook the air 'crackling', once they stepped on the ground, they clearly saw that the ground under their feet was flooded with soil waves several inches high, and they stomped down, at least tens of thousands of catties of strength.
Mobilizing the true body of heaven and earth, injecting a wisp of purple qi into Zhou Tianshen's eyes, he looked at those young people, and couldn't help but be startled.
These small teams are no more than twenty people in a team, and at least five or six people are young and strong, and they all have Ran Ran Purple Qi constantly injected into their bodies, and they are clearly also cultivating the unique exercises of the human race such as the True Body of Heaven and Earth. Along the way, there are at least about 10,000 young people who are practicing outside Liushui City, which is definitely not the scale of force that a small Liushui City should have.
Regarding the military system of the Dayu Dynasty, Beg also has a general understanding. In a large state like Zhongzhou, the ratio of soldiers to ordinary people is roughly about 500 to 1,000. In the case of those large states of inferior grades, those in which the population is sparse and the income is small, the ratio of soldiers to ordinary people often reaches more than one to one thousand, and there is even a matter of only one soldier among five or six thousand people.
After all, the soldiers who cultivate the true body of heaven and earth are different from ordinary people, everyone has the divine power to carry the mountain and lift the mountain, and it is just an ordinary thing to cultivate to the depths and overwhelm the mountains and seas, so a very small number of soldiers can maintain the law and order of a place, and can fight against disasters such as those fierce beasts.
The total population of Liushui City, plus the population of more than 100 villages outside, is about 200,000, and with such a small population, there are actually nearly 10,000 soldiers who are undergoing training and absorbing purple qi for cultivation! The ratio of conscription to 20 is definitely not the official act of the Dayu Dynasty. Unless the lord of Six Waters City wanted to plot a rebellion, he didn't need to recruit troops according to such a large proportion.
Then again, with only 10,000 soldiers, they want to raise troops to rebel in Dayu? Isn't this a joke?
Looking at the soldiers who were practicing in cāo in astonishment, Bei Qi felt that the whole of Liushui City was full of a strange aura.
Liyang Zhenren and Butterfly Fairy glanced at the young men who were training, and couldn't help but laugh contemptuously. Those who were the strongest among the young and strong were only comparable to the monks in the Yuan Infant Stage, and in their opinion, they were not even ants, they didn't care about the existence in their hearts. So they didn't have such a deep understanding of Beggar, and they didn't notice the weirdness in it.
Don't beg to lead the way in front of you, drooping your head and thinking about the mystery in it. However, no matter what he wanted to do in Liushui City, with the Butterfly Fairy behind him, a golden immortal who at least had the power to strike, Beqi was very sure of his escape ability, and he was not worried about encountering danger in Liushui City.
Without saying anything all the way, Beg took the two of them into Liushui City.
The scale of Liushui City is not large, the length and width of the city wall are only about five miles, and the height is no more than two zhang and five feet. The buildings in the city are mainly civil structures, only the city lord's mansion in the center of the city is a complete boulder structure, it is the kind of square, tall and simple black stone building that Beg has been familiar with, there are six huge stone pillars in front of the city lord's mansion, there is a huge brazier on it, and the green fire is illuminating half of the six water cities are green.
As soon as he entered Liushui City, Beg noticed that something was wrong.
In the taverns, restaurants, and shops on the side of the road, someone glanced at the three of them almost at the same time. Those people's eyes swept away as if they were nothing, and there was no murderous malice in their eyes, as if ordinary people on the street were casually looking at them.
Liyang Zhenren and Butterfly Fairy are the two golden immortals, and they don't feel anything about this kind of gaze at all. These people who looked at them were too weak to lift the nervous string in their hearts.
But for Beggar, the eyes of these people were all too familiar to him. In the past, on Earth, the spy secret whistle sent out by the Heaven Changing Rì Sect to let out the wind outside the entrance of the hall did just that! He followed those eyes and looked over one by one, all of them looked like ordinary people who were ignored when they were thrown into the crowd, and they looked honest and honest, no different from the people nearby!
Don't beg to laugh in your heart, it's funny, what's going on in this Liushui City?
Outside the city, there are young people who are completely not in line with the Dayu military system in military training, and the city is full of ears and eyes.
With Liyang Zhenren and Butterfly Fairy continuing along the avenue in the city, Beg was thinking about finding a good inn or private house to stay, and by the way, he tried to get some gold, silver, jewelry and other things, when he saw a team of people riding over on the avenue in front.
There were about 30 people in this team, and the leader of the team was a middle-aged man with a haggard face, who seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness. This man was born with a dignified appearance, and he originally had a very powerful national face, but at the moment, he was extremely tired, and the whole person's jīng god collapsed.
Behind this middle-aged man, he was followed by more than thirty oxen and horses, and the strong and unusually strong armorers.
Beqi felt that several of the armorers were very familiar, and the fierce armorers roared at the same time, drew their long swords, jumped off their mounts, and strode towards Beqi angrily. One of them even roared angrily: "Wu Na, since you are here, you don't have to go back!"
Called by these people, Bei Qi suddenly woke up, when rì was entangled with the Qin army in the depths of Mengshan Mountain, these strong men were all deputy generals accompanying Bai Qi, the king of Wu'an of Great Qin, and they were all generals of Great Qin!
Beggar's eyes flickered, and he was thinking about how to deal with this matter, when several figures suddenly flashed in a restaurant on the side of the road.
A handsome old man with a long robe and a high crown laughed and said: "Stand back, it's an old acquaintance who is here, very good, very good!"
Don't beg to look at this person, it is really an old acquaintance, it is clearly Su Qin's fellow disciple Mr. Zhang Yi, the minister of Daqin!
The other snorted coldly and stretched out his hand and waved his hand to the armorers, and the armorers stepped back one after another, respectfully hanging their hands and standing aside. Bei Qi glanced at the strong man wearing a black sè robe and a bronze crown on his head, who is Bai Qi, the king of Wu'an of Great Qin?
Bai Qi strode up to Beqi, looked at Beqi coldly and sneered: "The nose of the good spirit, you actually chased here?"
Bei Qi knew what Bai Qi meant, he was asking if Dayan's intelligence agency had been tracking Daqin's every move. He winked at Bai Qi and Zhang Yi, and said to them respectfully: "Poor Dao Black Dragon Zhenren, the two seniors have a lot, and there were few misunderstandings back then, so we still don't have to worry about it, right?"
Zhang Yi and Bai Yi were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Liyang Zhenren and Butterfly Fairy behind Beqi at the same time.
Zhang Yi smiled, he stepped forward very chicly, and saluted the two of them with fists: "Two fellow Daoists, dare to ask where is Xianxiang?"
Liyang Zhenren and Fairy Butterfly glanced at each other, Fairy Butterfly walked out with a smile, and saluted Zhang Yi and Bai Qi gently: "Little girl Butterfly, you and your husband are in trouble here, let you Taoist friends laugh!"
Before the words fell, the middle-aged man with a Chinese face on the horse had already roared: "A foreign demon Dao, if you dare to encroach on my Dayu foundation, you will definitely be cut by a thousand knives and die!"
The pretty face of the butterfly fairy suddenly changed slightly.
