Chapter 146
The library of Beirong Palace was burned into ruins, the princess who had just taken over the government suddenly disappeared, and General Helian fell into a coma. These three incidents made the entire Beirong court panic overnight, and the officials were in a mess. No one knew. What to do next.
But in Liyang City, rumors spread everywhere, and the theory of subjugation spread like wildfire.Wealthy households began to hoard rice, noodles, oil and grains, and the price of goods was rising day by day.Some local ruffians began to smash up shops, and robbery cases became more frequent.
Just when the patrol battalion of Liyang City was about to be unable to suppress the riots in the city, a demon troop led by the three demon brothers Niu Lie, Wei Xiong, and Tie Xi entered Liyang City and quickly took over the patrol battalion.
At this time, a group of short-sighted hooligans were making trouble in the market.After Niu Lie learned about it, he swung a sledgehammer and smashed the head of the gang leader who took the lead in making trouble.Since then, there has never been another case of gathering crowds to riot in the entire Liyang City.
On the other side, Wei Xiong led his troops directly to the home of Boss Lin, the largest wealthy businessman in Liyang City, and asked him to call all the prominent and respectable bosses among Liyang merchants to sign the Mozu contract that no hoarding and price gouging should be made.These bosses all lowered prices after returning home, and they were old traders. Only one rice merchant still secretly hoarded a thousand shi of rice and hid it in his own grain depot.Just when the last bag of rice entered the grain depot, the rice merchant suddenly bled to death from his seven orifices.For a while, all the merchants in Liyang City did their duty, even if they had some cunning tricks on weekdays, they dare not use them now.
Several Bei Rong veterans were very dissatisfied with the Mozu taking over the patrol battalion.They talked a lot in private, and they were all worried that the Beirong government had just gotten rid of the control of the Demon Sect, and now it would fall into the hands of the Demon Race again.
Hearing these comments, Yan immediately sent several veteran ministers to prison. So far, no one in the court dared to say anything more.
The entire Northern Rong Dynasty government was under Yan's escrow, and his thunderous methods stabilized the country that was originally in chaos within three days.
During these three days, Xiao Man followed Tu Danlin to the ruined Tu Dan family's ancestral house.
Looking at the ruined walls and the old house covered with withered grass, Tu Danlin sighed: "I used to live here and was bullied by those brothers. Now I'm standing here again. I feel so relieved, but I feel a little uncomfortable."
"You said before that you wanted to play on their graves, but now you don't want to?" Xiao Man joked.
"Hey, just joking." Tu Danlin walked towards the inner courtyard of the old house with his hands behind his back, "I'll take you to the courtyard where I used to live."
Xiao Man followed behind him, walked around the front hall, walked through the corridor, and walked for a long time before arriving at a very remote small courtyard. The old wooden sign on the courtyard door was written with the word "no delay".
"It's here." Tu Danlin pushed open the courtyard door, a burst of dust made Xiaoman cough twice.
When Xiaoman entered the yard, Tu Danlin was already digging the frozen ground under the dead trees in the yard with a rusty shovel.
Soon, he dug out a large wooden box.
"It's all here." Tu Danlin patted off the dirt on the box, and said with a smile, "My precious treasure, an ancient scroll from another world that is hard to find."
Xiaoman stretched out his thumb and gave him a thumbs up out of thin air, "It's amazing."
He opened the box, and it was full of scrolls and bamboo slips carefully sealed in sheepskin bags, and even a few tortoise shells.
"It's all here, that's great." Tu Danlin counted the number of items in the box, and after confirming that nothing was lost, he closed the box again.
"This place is full of houses that are about to collapse due to tile leaks. It is impossible to read these ancient books," Xiaoman looked around. "Why don't we find a place to live today and return to the Beirong Palace tomorrow. We will study it carefully when we get to the palace."
"When I first came here, I saw a post house, let's go there first." Tu Danlin suggested.
"Well, let's go."
The two came to the post house and asked Xiao Er for two upper rooms.
"Xiao Er, do you have any hot soup, rice and noodles?" Tu Danlin asked.
"Objectively, I would like to recommend our vegetarian noodle soup to you two. Eat a bowl of it warmly, and you won't be afraid of the cold weather." Xiao Er said with a smile.
"Two bowls." Tu Danlin said.
Xiaoman was a little surprised, "You eat too?"
"Why don't I eat? Walking for a day consumes a lot of energy." Tu Danlin laughed.
"Uh... I thought you didn't need to eat."
"How is it possible?" Tu Danlin found a clean table, put the box on the ground, and sat down by himself.
Xiao Man smiled and sat down with him.
Soon two bowls of steaming noodles with vegetarian soup were served.
At this time, a group of men dressed like hunters entered the post station and called the waiter loudly to serve everyone a bowl of noodles.
These men sat down, whispered a few words to each other, and then cast their eyes on Xiaoman and Tu Danlin.
Xiao Er gave them a face.
Several people took out their chopsticks from the chopstick holder, chatting while eating and snoring.
"There has been too much snow this year, and the snow in the mountains is too deep. Many roe deer and wild deer froze to death. After working for a few days, I didn't even catch a rabbit." said a hunter.
"If you go on like this, you will lose your life."
"Got to think of some other way to make money."
Hearing these words, the hunters looked at Xiaoman's Tu Danlin again.
They lowered their voices and discussed.
"Look at the two people at the table. The clothes and furs on their bodies are all high-end goods. The man's eyes are covered with cloth strips, so he must be blind. The woman looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is quite fresh. How about..."
"Look at the wooden box at the blind man's feet. It looks like something good. Could it be gold and silver jewelry, or silver tickets?"
"Why don't we start at once, snatch the box and the baby girl, and then take off the blind man's clothes. The money in the box is divided by my brother, and the girl will be taken back by the sixth child to be a wife."
The few of them spoke in extremely low voices, but they did not escape Tu Danlin's ears.
Tu Danlin smiled lightly, and said to Xiao Man: "Those hunters are after us, and they are discussing how to do it."
"Your hearing is so good, why didn't I hear anything." Xiao Man said while drinking the soup in the bowl.
"It seems that this resurrection technique can not only bring people back to life, but also enhance people's abilities."
"Hehe, these hunters really dare to fight, I have to beat them until I don't even know my own father." Xiao Man smiled confidently, not worried at all.
"Haha, you are such an interesting little girl." Tu Danlin said with a smile.
"The previous Demon Sect Siyou said that I am very suitable for refining corpses, so he tried to catch me in a different way." Xiaoman said to Tu Danlin, "It seems that what he said makes sense. He has great strength and good hearing."
"The Demon Cult? Refined you into a murderous corpse?" Tu Danlin asked in surprise, "Have they mastered the art of refining?"
"No, they seem to have a former leader who is your apprentice, and he is studying the technology of refining corpse soldiers according to the superficial knowledge you taught him." Xiaoman said to Tu Dan Lin carefully, "But the corpse soldiers they refined are afraid It is afraid of heat and humidity, so it can only move around in the north, and it will rot in warm places."
"My apprentice? Which of my apprentices is so promising that he dares to learn this technique secretly."
"You didn't teach them this back then?"
"I was only in the research stage at the time, and I didn't teach them."
"I see. No wonder their corpse soldiers know nothing but indiscriminate attacks." Xiao Man shrugged and continued to eat noodles.
"However, when it comes to your aptitude, which is especially suitable for refining corpses, I really didn't notice if you didn't tell me."
"How can you tell that I'm different from others?" Xiao Man asked with her head tilted, she had long wanted to figure out which part of herself looked suitable to become a vicious corpse.
"The root bone should be strong, the body should be petite, and more importantly, according to the deduction of star fate, the attribute is extremely yin, and the power of the soul in the body is huge, so big that it can withstand extreme hostility." Tu Danlin said seriously, "I guess you said The people from the Demon Cult got your birth date and tested your soul power, so they came to this conclusion."
"So that's how it is." Xiao Man immediately felt angry when he thought of how he tortured him to death after being caught by Si You for the first time.
Tu Danlin's expression darkened suddenly, and he said in a low voice, "Be careful, those hunters are about to attack."
The hunters got up quietly, picked up their weapons pretending to be casual, and walked towards Xiaoman and Tu Danlin cautiously.
Xiao Man heard the noise and stood up abruptly.
But just as she was about to pull out the bone food, she suddenly felt dizzy, her vision blurred, and she fell backwards.
Tu Danlin caught Xiao Man, looked at the face on the table, saw Xiao Er's complacent expression, and immediately realized that the face was drugged.
It turned out that it wasn't just Orion, the waiter at the post station had already moved his mind when he saw the luxurious clothes of the two.
Xiao Er stepped forward, wondering, "Why don't you get dizzy, you blind man?"
Those hunters surrounded Tu Danlin and Xiao Man, and the leader said to Xiao Er: "We will catch the blind man for you, and we will share their belongings together."
"No problem." Xiao Er smiled slyly, "These are old friends, arrest people first, and we can talk about things when we divide things."
