protect our patriarch

Chapter 581 Burning, killing and looting!The road to riches

……

Xianggu City is the core and the most prosperous city of Moyan Kingdom.Its surroundings have already been transformed into a huge industrial base under Wannian's management.

The concentration of spiritual veins, long-term and effective cultivation and maintenance have given birth to one piece after another of "Huangzhuang", "Guozhuang" and manors belonging to various powerful families.

Some of these manors specialize in all kinds of spirit tea, while others produce mid-to-high-end spirit rice. Of course, the most valuable of them is the spirit medicine garden.

[Wanling Huangzhuang] is an elixir garden belonging to the royal family of Nanyan Demon Kingdom.

This Huangzhuang has a history of more than [-] years. There is a medium-sized top-grade spiritual vein, more than a dozen top-grade spiritual veins gathered underground, and multiple spirit-gathering formations. A small paradise.

Calculated on an annual average basis, the benefits of cultivating elixir are often not as high as those of similar industries such as planting spiritual rice and cultivating silkworms, and even less profitable than breeding spiritual poultry and livestock that produce meat.However, the elixir garden is the foundation that a family of thousands of years must have.

The most common and effective way for Xuanwu monks to advance quickly is to take elixir, and the refining of elixir needs to rely on elixir.

With the change of generations, the annual consumption of elixir is astronomical. If you completely rely on purchasing from the outside world, it will not only be unstable and not last long, but it will also be easy for other families to use the relationship between supply and demand to get stuck.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of a Xuanwu monk, the higher the level of pills needed for cultivation.

And the higher the grade of the elixir, the older the elixir needed, the higher the requirements for the place of growth, the rarer the quantity, and the more difficult it is to buy.

Without the support of one or more elixir gardens with a complete structural system, this family will certainly not last long.

Wanling Huangzhuang is one of the foundations for the Qiu family to live and work.

But today, it was captured.

A large number of elixir of each year was plundered wantonly, and some of the processed elixir in stock were also swept away, and the top-grade spiritual veins and top-grade spiritual veins were also being extracted.

There is no doubt that this is a good thing that Wang Fugui's [United Volunteer Corps] and Yu Mengyu's [Northern Prince's Mansion Volunteer Corps] have jointly done.

now.

In the other courtyard of Wanlinghuangzhuang, Jiang Qinglian, who was dressed as an office lady, was sitting sideways at the stone table, making tea herself with a respectful expression.

On the rattan chair beside the stone table, Wang Fugui, dressed in white, half-closed his eyes, enjoying the snatched "top-grade spirit tea" with a contented expression.

The spiritual tea in his hand is naturally far inferior to the famous "Enlightenment Tea", but it is a loot snatched from the enemy, and the taste is also very different from Enlightenment Tea's rich and strong fragrance, so it does not have a special taste when drunk.

Steal the floating life for half a day.

Since arriving in Lingqu Continent, he has been busy with various things, either fighting or preparing for war.

This time, he marched tens of thousands of miles to the vicinity of the capital city of the Yan Kingdom [Elephant Ancient City]. He led two large regiments to stare at the manors of the royal family of the Demon Yan Kingdom and the major families. Continuously turning, although the rewards are rich, it is really exhausting.

Now it is rare to have a moment of leisure, and he can lie on the wicker chair to bask in the sun and drink tea. After he relaxes, he feels a little drowsy.

At this time.

A personal guard outside the courtyard came in to report: "My lord, we found a man with supernatural powers among the captured Huangzhuang slaves. He said that he was once the ancestor of a third-rank family with supernatural powers, and asked to see your lord. "

"Bring him here."

Wang Fugui replied lazily, without even lifting his eyelids.

The guard immediately took the order and left.

After a while, he led a skinny old man in.

The old man was wearing the simplest rags and linen clothes, which hadn't been changed for some time. The clothes looked tattered, and even his arms and toes were exposed.

But even so, this former supernatural ancestor still has his own arrogance and demeanor, and the sobriety and sharpness in his eyes are impressive.

"Crime slave Yan Chengde, I have met you son." As soon as the old man saw Wang Fugui, he immediately understood who was in charge, and immediately stepped forward to salute unambiguously. The slave family was deprived of their aristocratic status due to being framed by the Luqiu clan, and now most of the clan members either died as cannon fodder in foreign battlefields, or became criminal slaves like old people, life would be better than death."

Third grade family?

Wang Fugui lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, showing neither emotion nor anger: "I can more or less guess the reason for your visit. However, what kind of grievances and grievances happened between me and you, Luqiu family and Qiu family?" Not interested."

When the grandfather was sorting out and analyzing the information of the Demon Dynasty, he occasionally heard some, so he always knew how cruel the struggle for power and mutual strife between families can be without rules and restrictions.

Seeing that Yan Chengde opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, he waved his hand and interrupted: "I can give you a batch of food, a batch of weapons and equipment, and a large number of criminal slaves. You can use these to Attack the private manors of various families in the Demon Yan Kingdom, and rescue the slaves in them to strengthen your power. But there is one thing you have to remember, you are only allowed to deal with noble families, and you are not allowed to harass civilians.”

During this period of time, too much food and low-end weapons and equipment were looted, and they couldn’t fit in the storage ring, and they couldn’t be taken away at all. Instead of leaving it to the Demon Yan Kingdom, it is better to simply distribute it to these slaves and let them revolt on their own. .

Although it may not be successful, it can also cause a lot of disturbance to the Moyan Kingdom.

In courses related to sociology in ethnology, the pros and cons of slave society have been systematically analyzed.Wang Fugui understands that this is an inevitable stage in the social process, but in the end, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, and it is not kingly way. Therefore, he is happy to see the success of causing some troubles for the system.

Yan Chengde was stunned.

He had given up all hope at first, but he never expected that this young master would be more straightforward than him.

After being dazed for a long time, he suddenly came to his senses, and excitedly saluted Wang Fugui: "I thank you, young master. When this old slave avenges the annihilation of the clan, he will immediately come back to follow the young master, and serve as a slave. Repay your son's kindness."

"Okay, let's talk about it in the future." Wang Fugui waved his hand, and told Jiang Qinglian who was beside him nonchalantly, "Jiang Gongfeng, go and ask Ji Gongfeng to find a way to lift the restraint on him, and then do as I said .”

"Yes, Mr. Rich."

Hearing this, Jiang Qinglian stood up, bowed to accept the order, and then left the courtyard with Yan Chengde.

After the people left, Wang Fugui fell asleep again, with a calm expression, as if he had just done an inconspicuous and ordinary thing.

……

And at the same time.

Nanyan Capital.

Like the ancient city.

As the capital of Nanyan Kingdom, the ancient city of Xiang has a very long history.Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the long years, the city has always stood on this vast land, quietly watching the changes of history.

The long history has endowed it with a profound heritage. Ancient buildings with a long history can be seen everywhere in the city, and even a raised stone brick at the root of the wall may have a history of thousands of years.

And in the past 1 years, the situation of the ancient city has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The area of ​​the original Xianggu City was far smaller than it is now, but only less than one-third of the size it is today.

Today's inner city wall is transformed from the original Xianggu city wall.But today's Outer City has been expanded little by little during the tens of thousands of years.

It is precisely because of this that only the real aristocrats can live in the inner city, and in the outer city, there are mostly various emerging aristocrats, with clear distinctions between each other, and there are huge class barriers.

The recently newly established Xiang Ancient City [Temporary Recruitment Point] was set up in an abandoned ancestral hall outside the inner city.

At the beginning, this ancestral hall did not know which powerful person it was worshiping. The architectural style was square and majestic, which was very different from the overall architectural style of Nanyan Kingdom.

The long history has made the walls mottled, and the tablets and sculptures in the ancestral hall have long since disappeared. Only the towering stone pillars and the magnificent square are left, which can vaguely see the atmosphere of the past.

But now, on this huge square, brand new military training facilities have already been built, and the majestic ancestral temple-style buildings have already been transformed into barracks.

now.

On a high platform in a corner of the square, a tall woman was standing against the wind, looking down at the recruits who were training in the square.

She casually held a magical whip in her right hand, and her red dress swayed in the wind, her whole body was like a blooming red rose, with a heroic bearing and an outstanding temperament.

This woman is the commander in charge of the conscription this time, and she is Qiu Daoyu, a highly prestigious [Princess Jiabao] in the royal family.

Among the young people of the royal family, Princess Jiabao is deeply loved by Emperor Yan Guoyuan, and has been carefully cultivated since childhood.

There are rumors that Emperor Yuan Jing once found her a son-in-law from an outstanding family in the Demon Dynasty as her husband, but Princess Jiabao rejected her on the grounds that she didn't like her because of her incompatibility.

Not only was Emperor Yuan Kyung not angry, but he also gave her a part of the right to choose independently. As long as she decides to get married within two hundred years old, she can choose her husband within a certain range.

Therefore, Princess Jiabao, who is only 150 years old, has also become a sweet pastry in the eyes of young people in Xianggu City, and they are chasing after each other.

Being "loved by thousands of people", Princess Jiabao naturally leads a carefree and comfortable life on weekdays.

However, recently, she was frowning and felt a lot of pressure.

During this period of time, bad news came from the front line one after another, even her most beloved ancestor, Emperor Yuan Jing, was defeated.The royal family and the elites of various aristocratic families in the ancient city of Xiang have urgently mobilized soldiers and organized a wave of reinforcements to help them resist the main force of the Liang Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the rear defense was empty, two elite bandit armies broke through many fortresses and passes, reached the hinterland of Dayan, and began to "burn, kill, loot" and "do all kinds of evil" near the capital.

Because of this, the entire ancient city of Xiang was panicked during this period of time.

As the capital of Dayan Kingdom, Xianggu City was originally the city with the highest defense level and the safest city in Dayan, but now, the ace battle group Xuanshan Cavalry is not there, and the main force of the garrison has also been transferred to the front line, and the remaining defenders are few and far between. To put it bluntly, the combat power is also quite hip. To put it bluntly, since the ancient city was built, it may be the first time that the defense has been so weak.

If it weren't for the large defensive formation to rely on, the ancient city would have been in chaos.

At this moment, Qiu Daoyu, Princess Jiabao, as one of the core figures of the royal family, should naturally step forward, organize more militia teams, and fight together with the weak defenders to prevent the two bandits from attacking the capital. .

"Princess, the number of conscripts for today has been counted."

At this time, Xiao Youfei, the maid serving as a temporary female official, came up to the high platform with a bad face and reported: "Today, a total of 350 people are willing to respond to our call to join the militia, which is 500 fewer than yesterday. "

"Just so much?"

Princess Jiabao's face turned cold, and he was so angry that he whipped his whip on the high platform next to him.

There was a loud bang, and a hole was blown out on the high platform, but she still felt puzzled, and said angrily: "Even if quite a few elites have been transferred away, there are at least a few basalt monks in the city. Ten times the number. In the face of national crisis, there are so many people who would rather be cowards?"

These days, her militia team has only recruited more than 7000 people, and its overall strength is not high. Once on the battlefield, it is purely to deliver food to the two elite bandits.

"Princess, please calm down." The maid Xiaoyou hastily persuaded, "We Dayan and Liang have been at war for more than 50 years, and those people with lofty ideals have already joined the regular army. But this time the front line was defeated, and the princes are also Forced recruitment organized a large group of people to go to support. We have been able to recruit so many militiamen in a short period of time, the princess, you are already very powerful."

"No." Princess Jiabao's face was ashen, and her heart was extremely heavy. "Take a report, and the two bandit armies are extremely powerful. They captured many Huangzhuang and family manors one after another, and they behaved effortlessly. Our Ancient Elephant City is now The defense is too weak, too dangerous!"

"Pass my order." Princess Jiabao said sternly, "Immediately mobilize all the families to squeeze out some people to join the militia again, and also, let them take care of all the businesses, restaurants and other business places with names and surnames." Pull out [-]% and give it to me."

"His Royal Highness!" The maid Xiaoyou was in a hurry, and quickly dissuaded her, "The activation of the compulsory conscription order not only requires His Majesty's imperial decree, but also..."

"I'm not forcing a conscription." Princess Jiabao interrupted her in a cold voice, "Send someone to tell those companies that if you don't follow my Princess Jiabao today, don't wait until I, Dayan, recovers. Blame me for being ruthless. I will also recruit those casual cultivators who have been wandering around the capital all year round, as well as those organizations that lurk in the dark and cannot see the light, and I will also find out! In short, people with a little combat power all I want!!"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

The maid Xiaoyou saw that her princess was determined, and knew she couldn't be persuaded, so she gritted her teeth and led someone to do business worriedly.

After they left, Princess Jiabao had a headache.

After the old grandfather was defeated, he took the Xuanshan iron cavalry and fled to unknown places, and no news came back, and the front line was corrupted to such a state, and now even the ancient city of Elephant has been attacked by bandit soldiers!

The defenders in the ancient city are so weak, and the militias recruited are also mixed, which can be called a miscellaneous name among miscellaneous names.

If this goes on like this, I'm afraid something big will happen.

"Daoyu."

At this time, a warm and masculine voice sounded.

Princess Jiabao turned her head to look, and saw not far away, a man in white clothes fluttering down on the high platform.

He wears a jade crown on his head, a sword hanging from his waist, and walks in a chic manner, with an outstanding demeanor and an extraordinary bearing.

Upon seeing this person, Princess Jiabao's expression eased a little: "Luqiu Yuanmo, I asked you to go to various families to mobilize the young children left behind, how is the situation?"

This person is the supernatural power of the second-rank Luqiu family of Dayan, and he has already cultivated well at a young age. Now, at the age of two hundred or so, he has entered the middle stage of the Zifu Realm, and has also made many contributions on the battlefield outside the territory .

"Oh, Daoyu." Luqiu Yuanmo sighed, "The elites of various families are now either on the battlefield outside the territory, or have already suffered a lot of casualties on the front line, and the remaining available forces are also organizing the second wave of reinforcements At that time, they set off together with the guarding princes and county kings."

"Although there are still some people left in each family, the old and the young are few, and the few combatable forces are the seeds of the family's future inheritance, and nothing can go wrong..."

"What about the inheritance seeds?" Princess Jiabao raised her brows and said angrily, "In the face of a national crisis, who can escape? If we continue to do nothing like this, will it really be impossible for those bandits to enter my ancient city? ?”

"Don't be angry, Daoyu." Luqiu Yuanmo reassured, "Every family and ethnic group is contributing to the country, and there are many victims, so we shouldn't be too harsh."

In fact, all the aristocratic families are clear in their hearts. This matter is so big now that the Demon Emperor will definitely not sit idly by. It will not be long before he will intervene in this matter, and there will be no war at that time.

Now they just need to hide and get through this for a while, and everything will be fine when the war is over.Too active to go forward to die, death is really dead, no one wants their own inheritance seeds to perish in vain.

Just when Princess Jiabao wanted to get angry again, Luqiu Yuanmo said: "Daoyu, I have already persuaded a group of brothers and sisters from various families to come and help me based on my personal relationship, and I will personally use Dao Jade, you look forward to the horse's head and wait until you die."

"Okay!" Princess Jiabao's expression eased a lot, "Brother Yuanmo, you really impressed me this time."

"Everywhere, this is Yuan Mo's duty." At this point, Luqiu Yuanmo looked around, pulled Princess Jiabao aside, and said in a low voice, "Daoyu, I have a plan, maybe It can turn things around, do you want to listen to it?"

"Come on quickly, don't go around in circles." Princess Jiabao raised her eyebrows and said, "You know, what annoys me the most is grinding."

"My idea is that instead of defending the city to the death, we should organize the remaining elite and go out of the city to surprise the bandits!" Luqiu Yuanmo said with a serious expression.

"What? Are you crazy?" Princess Jiabao's face changed, "The banners of those two bandits are obviously from the Hanyue Dynasty. They are the elite among the elite, and there are many monks in the magical realm .And they also took time out of the top-grade spiritual veins of Wanling Huangzhuang, obviously accompanied by Lingxu Realm in the dark."

"In the face of such a powerful bandit army, we can only rely on formations to hold on to the city wall, and with the help of [Kui Niu Patriarch], we can barely hold Xianggu City. Going out of the city to meet the enemy, isn't it right in the enemy's arms?"

Faced with a series of doubts from Princess Jiabao, Luqiu Yuanmo said in a calm and unhurried manner: "In the past few days, I have also sent people to collect intelligence and information from various sources, and I have entrusted my ancestors to go out of the city secretly to investigate and collect information about the collapsed army. , As a result, I discovered an astonishing fact after synthesizing the information from various channels.”

"What amazing fact?" Princess Jiabao's expression turned serious, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"The commanders of the two bandit armies turned out to be two teenagers, one of whom was a boy and the other a girl." Luqiu Yuanmo said, "Think about it, Daoyu, the banners of the two bandit armies are either It is a first-rank family of the Immortal Dynasty, or it is the Northern Region Palace, what kind of child is it that can command them?"

Princess Jiabao frowned: "The boy dare not say, is that teenage girl the daughter of Pearl Princess who married into the Northern Region Palace, Yu Mengyu?"

"Princess Mingzhu comes from the lineage of Prince Zhenyang of Beiliang. It is not surprising that she came to support Beiliang at a critical moment. Except for that concubine Mengyu, I am afraid that no one is qualified to command an elite army when she is a teenager." Luqiu Yuanmo There was excitement in his eyes.

"But, even if that Yu Mengyu is the daughter of Princess Mingzhu, she can't command the army, right? She is too young, how can she convince the crowd?" Princess Jiabao was still a little puzzled.

"Daoyu, you are used to not hearing things outside the window, and you don't know about this matter. I heard that Yu Mengyu was named a [princess] in the Hanyue Dynasty, but she was ranked fourth. The little princess." Luqiu Yuanmo said, "That is the little princess of the Xian Dynasty, commanding a small battle group, who dares not accept it?"

"Princess Xianchao?"

Princess Jiabao was shocked.

She naturally also knew the gold content of Princess Xianchao, and her expression suddenly became clear: "In this way, it all makes sense. Thinking about it, that boy should also come from an extraordinary background. No wonder, there is a Lingxu Realm in the two bandits Follow along."

"Probably yes, that boy's origin is a little worse than Yu Mengyu's, but he is not far behind. Maybe he is the secret heir of the Immortal Palace." Luqiu Yuanmo's face was filled with excitement, "Daoyu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. What an opportunity! As long as we can seize Yu Mengyu and that kid, not only can we keep Xianggu City and surrounding industries, but maybe the entire national crisis can be reversed."

"At that time, we will have a huge hole card, enough to make Emperor Liang spit out everything he ate!"

Princess Jiabao is also very excited: "The only problem now is that the other party has many supernatural powers and one Lingxu realm to protect them. The supernatural powers are good to say, although our ancient elephant city is empty now, but if we gather it together, we can still make up a few. A retired prince and patriarch. But the Lingxu Realm..."

"Then there is only Patriarch Lao Qiukui. Although he is only at the peak of the tenth rank, but with another Taoist artifact from the royal family, he can still entangle a Lingxu Realm in a short period of time." Luqiu Yuanmo His blood boiled, "We waited for the opportunity to make a surprise attack, and sacrificed our lives to take down two teenage boys. Isn't it easy to catch?"

"If that is really the little princess of the Xian Dynasty, it is indeed worth fighting for us." Princess Jiabao calmed down a little at the moment, and added, "However, we must be more cautious about this matter, Yuan Mo, send someone to go Collect information, and I will organize the old princes, the old county kings, and the ancestors of various families."

"Follow the princess' order." Luqiu Yuanmo saluted.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a princess." Princess Jiabao said angrily.

"Isn't it a matter of time?" Luqiu Yuanmo retreated with a smile.

……

Soon after.

The "thief army group" headed by Wang Fugui and Yu Mengyu has built another rich manor.It is said that it was Luqiu's elixir shop. After a lot of looting, all the valuable things were looted, and all the worthless things were packed up to the slave army.

For the rest, they set a big fire in Luqiu's manor.In the raging fire, Luqiu's years of accumulation were burned to the ground.

"hateful!"

In the distance, hidden in the dense forest of the valley, Princess Jiabao watched this scene, her eyes were red with anger.

The blazing fire in the distance and the wanton laughter of the predators all deeply stimulated her, making her heart feel like a fire was burning, burning hotter and hotter.

She clenched her whip tightly and said angrily, "We can't wait any longer. If we let the bandits move again, our loss, Dayan, will be too great."

"Princess, don't be impatient." Luqiu Yuanmo hurriedly persuaded.

Even though his valuable elixir shop was robbed and burned, he was heartbroken, but he still said solemnly: "Let's wait a little longer, wait until they relax a little bit, and wait until it gets darker."

The looser the enemy's defenses, the more likely they are to succeed.

But right now.

But a furious voice broke out from among the bandits: "Yu Kaicheng, you bastard, how dare you snatch my Wanzai Zishouwu, don't think that I, Wu Zhide, are afraid of you!"

"Wu Zhide, why are you howling? You are relying on the backing of your rich and noble son to rob us of the northern palace's things?" Yu Kaicheng, the supernatural power realm leader of the northern palace, was also "furious", and said angrily, "Don't you Do you really think our four little princesses are decorations?"

The two of them refused to accept each other, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became. In the end, they fought like a "ping-pong-pong", and even the brothers who led the two camps fought into a ball.

"Wang Fugui, restrain your people!" Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Yu Mengyu's angry voice also sounded, "Otherwise, don't blame this princess for turning her face."

"Yu Mengyu, my lord has tolerated you for a long time." Wang Fugui also said angrily, "You rely on your status as a princess to eat more and occupy more everywhere. If you don't hand over Zishouwu for ten thousand years today, we will break it up!"

"One shot and two shots, two shots!"

Listening to the series of changes in the distance, and feeling the aftermath of the battle from afar, both Luqiu Yuanmo and Princess Jiabao looked ecstatic.

This quarrel not only proved that the commander-in-chief of the opponent was indeed the fourth little princess Yu Mengyu they speculated, and that Lao Shizi was rich and noble, but also had internal strife between the two sides.

Most importantly, from the direction of Yu Mengyu's and Wang Fugui's voices, they have been able to directly determine their positions!

Not to be missed!

"Go!"

"Kill me!"

Luqiu Yuanmo and Princess Jiabao looked at each other, and launched the attack almost at the same time!
