Small farmers dominate the desert island

Now seeing Chen Yu risking his life to enter Zhongcheng to fetch things and find people, she couldn't help but think of the psychic ghost bamboo he mentioned.

"Yes, my friend is seriously injured, and he must find the psychic ghost bamboo to save him."

Chen Yu nodded fiercely with a serious face, and turned around to leave as he spoke. Time was running out and he didn't want to delay any longer.

"There is a psychic ghost bamboo in the thatched cottage. I can give it to you. Don't go into the city to risk yourself. Take the psychic ghost bamboo and hide outside the city." Jiang Qingxue was still panting, and went around to Chen In front of Yu, he opened his arms to block the way.

"You have the psychic ghost bamboo?" Chen Yu was overjoyed, he couldn't believe his ears, he put his excited hands on Jiang Qingxue's shoulders, and looked at her straight.

"Yes, my master once asked the city lord for help. He went into the dark bamboo forest to dig a psychic ghost bamboo and came back. You follow me back and send you off."

Jiang Qingxue nodded slightly, and spoke extremely fast.

"Thank you, I will definitely come back to get the psychic ghost bamboo, but we must go to Zhongcheng, and what belongs to me must be taken back."

Chen Yu was full of gratitude, and also spoke very fast.

Although he never lied to Jiang Qingxue, Xiaoya's story was full of things. It was too unbelievable that the spiritual body was put into the jade bottle, and she might not believe it when he said it.

"Why are you more stubborn than a cow!"

Jiang Qingxue wished she could drag Chen Yu back to the fenced courtyard.

Chen Yu grinned and said: "I'm just a stubborn person. I've been like this since I was a child. Girl, please go back. I'll take back what belongs to me."

With that said, he turned around to leave again.

Jiang Qingxue hesitated for a while, and quickly followed, "Since you are determined to go to Zhongcheng, then I will accompany you."

"Alright!" Chen Yu smiled gratefully at Jiang Qingxue.

Jiang Qingxue was Lu Gang's daughter-in-law, and she wanted to use her status as the wife of the future young city lord to ask the two gatekeepers for Chen Yu to get back what belonged to him.

In addition, if Lu Gang and others encounter bad luck looking for Chen Yu, she can also protect her.

Chen Yu guessed Jiang Qingxue's kindness in asking for company, and was grateful: This beautiful girl is kind and cute.

While walking, Chen Yu had a better understanding of Tianqi City from Jiang Qingxue's mouth.

Tianqi City is divided into three cities: Inner City, Middle City and Outer City.

The large area of ​​land surrounded by dark bamboo forests in all directions is the outer city, the area inside the city wall is the middle city, and the city lord's mansion is located within a radius of tens of miles is the inner city.

The outer city sets the middle city, the middle city sets the inner city, and there is a city within the city!

Most of the outer city is forest and fields, which are the places for people to farm and hunt. The people can only live in the middle city outside the inner city.

Those who live in the inner city are rich and noble people, most of whom are related to the city lord.

In short, Tianqi City is like the Lu family's private manor, and the owner of the city has supreme power.

"Are you that guy's horse?" After listening to Jiang Qingxue's story, Chen Yu asked abruptly.

With the psychic ghost bamboo, Xiaoya can be rescued immediately. Chen Yu is in a good mood, and he cares about Jiang Qingxue's personal affairs. He thinks that she and Lu Gang are very unsuitable, and a flower is stuck on the cow dung.

A good cabbage must not let the pigs give it away!

Such a beautiful woman can only be matched by a handsome guy like me. Chen Yu is determined to disturb Huang Jiang Qingxue's engagement with Lu Gang and get her.

As long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug.

"Mazi? What do you mean?" Jiang Qingxue looked at Chen Yu suspiciously with her beautiful eyes flashing.

"Uh, it's a daughter-in-law who hasn't gotten married." Chen Yu explained.

Jiang Qingxue looked a little sad, nodded slightly, and sighed: "Hey, yes, I have a marriage contract with him, it is a marriage contract between my master and the city lord."

"That kid doesn't look like a good bird at first sight, you must never marry him." Chen Yu acted as if he was avenging Jiang Qingxue's injustice.

"Hey, why don't I know, but the teacher's order is hard to break, I must marry him as my concubine." Jiang Qingxue sighed again.

"What, marrying him as a concubine, there is nothing wrong with your master." Chen Yu was quite surprised.

"You must not speak disrespectfully to my teacher, and my teacher is also for my own good." Jiang Qingxue gave Chen Yu a dissatisfied look.

She is a very respectful person.

"My teacher passed away, fearing that I would be bullied by myself, so I tried every means to secure a marriage contract with Lu Gang for me. My teacher really did it for my own good."

Not wanting the master to be misunderstood by Chen Yu, Jiang Qingxue immediately explained again, "Tianqi City is the world of their Lu family, if they want to avoid being bullied, they have to build a relationship with their family, even though Lu Gang has many wives and concubines. .”

Chen Yu didn't criticize Lu Gang's group of wives and concubines, so he must have many women, which can be considered as a group of wives and concubines.

Nodding slightly as if approving, Chen Yu said with emotion: "Poor parents in the world, your master is indeed doing it for your own good, but..."

As soon as the conversation turned, Chen Yu showed determination, and said domineeringly: "I will never allow you to marry that kid as a concubine. I will protect you well and take you out of the abandoned city."

Jiang Qingxue smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything more.

She didn't believe that Chen Yu had the strength to protect herself against the Lu family, nor did she believe that he could take her out of Tianqi City.

At noon, Chen Yu and Jiang Qingxue came to the gate of the city. The two guards who stopped him yesterday to ask for the city entrance tax were collecting the city entrance tax.

Chen Yu asked puzzledly: "The people live in the central city, but they have to go out to the outer city to make a living. Every day they go in and out, they have to pay the city tax. How much tax do they have to pay all year round?"

Jiang Qingxue replied softly: "Whether the common people go out to farm or go hunting in the mountains, it takes a long time for them to return to the city after leaving the city. When they go out to make a living, they can only sleep in the open, and cannot return home."

Chen Yu frowned involuntarily, "Does the city lord care?"

"The city entry tax was set by the city lord himself, and it has only been collected in recent years. It has made the people's lives miserable, hey!" Jiang Qingxue shook her head and sighed, expressing endless helplessness.

"It seems that the city lord is not a good bird!" Chen Yu classified the city lord Lu Yuanchao into the ranks of bullies.

As the lord of a city, it's fine if he doesn't work for the welfare of the people, but also exploits the people in different ways. Such a city lord is no different from a local ruffian and bully.

Jiang Qingxue smiled bitterly, and didn't say any more.

"Hey, you two, give me back the little sword and jade bottle that I collected yesterday." Chen Yu strode forward and asked the two guards directly for the crystal sword and jade bottle.

"Who are you?" Guard A glared at Chen Yu viciously, then turned to look at Jiang Qingxue who was following, slightly surprised, but didn't take her seriously.

Guard B directly extended his hand to Chen Yu, "If you want to enter the city, you have to pay taxes!"

"Give it to your sister!" Chen Yu grabbed the arm of guard B and twisted it vigorously.

Chapter 837: Psychic Ghost Bamboo

There was a clicking sound, and Chen Yu twisted the wrist bone of Guard B into a crack. The pain caused him to sweat, and he cried and howled endlessly.
