My cultivation base has been sealed, and I will become stronger if I molested the empress

Western Regions, Kaoshan County
Hongta Village

Village head home

At this time, the place was already surrounded by villagers, and Hongta, who had rescued Bailong, was also there.

However, both he and the strong men around him were wounded, and their breathing was a little disordered, obviously after a big battle just now.

At this time, the atmosphere in the yard was a little heavy, and the little girl's cry could be heard from time to time.

"woooo~"

"Grandpa, wake up, look at Huniu!"

Huniu knelt beside the old village head and kept shaking his body, but the village head didn't respond.

The women on the sidelines couldn't help but shed tears.

The village chief has always been an amiable image in everyone's mind, but now that this old man died tragically in front of them, no one would be indifferent.

Huniu's father, Li Shan, wanted to go forward to pull Huniu up, but was opened by Huniu, and she cried even harder.

"Grandpa won't die, and he promised to take Huniu to see the red flowers in the city!"

"Woo~woo~"

Hu Niu's tears fell to the ground, but it seemed to hit everyone's heart.

Everyone became more depressed.

After a while, a strong man beside Hongta suddenly shouted:
"We must avenge the village chief!"

"Yes, revenge for the village chief"

"We must not let those bastards go!"

Several people around him also echoed.

But then someone said:
"But can we fight against the Qi family? They are under the orders of the backer king!"

"damn it!"

"This group of robbers in sheep's clothing will bully us country people, why doesn't the Lord Buddha take them away?"

"God has no eyes!"

Everyone has a look of resentment.

The whole story happened the day before, when Qi's family from Guashan County came to Hongta Village to collect the protection tax.

The people living in the backing county will be protected by the backing king, provided that you pay taxes.

If you don't pay it, your life and death backer king won't take care of it anymore.

Many villages that did not believe in evil did not pay taxes in the first year, but ended up being ransacked by robbers, and all the people in the village were killed.

This bloody method immediately shocked the surrounding villages and made them pay taxes honestly.

In fact, everyone knows where this group of robbers came from, and they are basically the servants of the King of the Mountain.

But no one dares to say it publicly, unless they don't want to live.

However, this year's protection tax has become five times the original amount, even if the whole village does not eat or drink, it cannot afford to pay.

So the village head went up to discuss with Qi's family, but was severely beaten by them.

The village head is only at the first level of the human law realm, and the lowest of the Qi family is also the peak of the human law realm, which is higher than the Hongta.

In the end, Hongta and others were seriously injured, and the village chief was beaten to death.

The Qi family said that a three-day deadline would be given, and if they could not pay the taxes, they would no longer be protected by the backer king.

But they also gave another way, that is to use Huniu to pay.

Although Huniu is only 12 years old this year, she is still a beauty, and the patron king's hobby is to like young girls.

When the people in Hongta Village heard this, they immediately refused. How could they send Huniu to the wolf den?

Li Shan said to Hongta:

"What shall we do now?"

Hearing his question, everyone looked towards Hongta.

In the absence of the village chief, Hongta is the backbone of the whole village.

Hongta pondered for a while, then said:

"If it doesn't work, we will leave the territory of the backer king"

"Can this work?"

"How can I live in other places!"

"Could it be possible to live here?"

"I think it's okay. We can go to the neighboring Fengxian County. I heard that the princess there loves his people very much."

said a villager.

When the others heard this, there was a look of hope on their faces.

If you can really go to Fengxian County, it's better than waiting to die here.

However, what everyone didn't notice was that at the outermost edge of the crowd, two young men with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks retreated quietly and ran towards the outside of the village.

"Hongta, make up your mind, we will all listen to you"

"Yes, Hongta, it will be too late"

Looking at the expectant eyes around him, Hongta shook his heart and said:

"Okay, let's go to Fengxian County"

"Everyone, go back and pack up quickly, only bring some important things, and we will set off overnight"

"it is good!"

Everyone said in unison, and then the villagers went home to prepare.

Hongta said to Li Shan:

"Brother Li, let's prepare too."

"Um"

Li Shan responded.

But neither of them bothered Huniu for the time being. The child was too stubborn to believe that his grandfather was dead.

Luo Temple

Bailong has already figured out how to repay the people in Hongta Village, that is, to bring them all to Luoshen City and let them settle here.

Although Luoshen City is full of three religions and nine streams, most of them are civilians.

So the people from Hongta Village can adapt quickly after they come here, and this should be the best way to repay them.

After Luoshen City underwent two expansions, it was already large enough to accommodate a million people.

For the hundreds of villagers in Hongta Village, this is not a problem at all.

Moreover, Bailong could just take this opportunity to try out his ability to fly a cloud boat.

Thinking of this, Bailong disappeared immediately.

Hongta Village

After a brief tidying up, all the villagers are ready.

At this time, they all gathered at the village chief's house, waiting for Hongta's order.

Hongta says:
"Let's bury the village chief first, and then set off"

"it is good"

"Death is always buried in the ground"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.
The village head was very kind to them when he was alive, but now that the village head is dead, he will naturally be buried, and he must not be allowed to expose his body to the wilderness.

Everyone wanted to step forward to lift the village head's body as they said that, but they were stopped by Huniu.

"You all go away, don't touch my grandpa!"

"Go away!"

Hu Niu let out a hoarse roar, looking extremely frightening.

When the villagers saw this scene, they all felt pain in their hearts. They knew the relationship between the village head and Hu Niu.

At this time Li Shan stepped forward and hugged Huniu's waist, and lifted her up.

"Let me go, I want to stay with grandpa!"

"You are not allowed to touch Grandpa!"

"woooo~"

Hu Niu let out a cry of despair.

Just when everyone was about to lift the village chief up, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

Then came the sound of hooves.

I saw dozens of black horses passing through the narrow village road, running towards the village chief's house, followed by hundreds of guards.

Seeing the other party, Hongta was shocked and said:
"The Qi family!"

"what!"

"Why did they come so quickly, didn't they say they would give us three days?"

"They don't know we're going to escape, do they?"

All the villagers became a little flustered.

If the Qi family believed that they were going to flee to Fengxian County, the backer king would definitely charge them with treason and kill them all.

Hongta says:
"Don't talk for a while, I will deal with it"

Hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement.

At this time, a middle-aged man named Qi Shisan stepped out of the Qi family's team.
