Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

"kill!!!"

Shen Hong turned around and saw that it was Xiao Mu!

"Reinforcements are coming!"

Xiao Mu rode over on horseback, followed by the army led by Yao Muling.

He rose directly into the sky and confronted the Taoist priest in white across the air.

"Zheng!" Xiao Mu took the lead and attacked the Taoist priest with fierce sword energy.

For a while, the two fought to a stalemate.

With him holding back the Taoist priest and reinforcements coming from below, the situation quickly turned around.

The female Taoist priest looked grim, and finally gritted her teeth and said to withdraw.

"oh oh!!"

The soldiers cheered after surviving the disaster.

Fortunately, Xiao Mu brought troops to help in time and managed to save Yucheng and Shicheng.

When the news reached Phoenix City, Shen Feng remained silent for a long time and planned to use the Stone City in exchange for long-term cooperation with Xiao Mu.

The Qingli Kingdom was originally short of military force, and suddenly there was so much additional territories that it had not had time to take over and regulate.

Without Li'er here, we will definitely not be able to keep it.

Rather than letting someone else take it, it’s better to give it to Xiao Mu.

The peace here did not last long as news of war came from Gaoju City on the border.

After Tuoba Yan led his men to withdraw from the interior of the country, the other four Hu tribes felt as if they had lost the pressure of a huge mountain, and they targeted the forces he had given up like hyenas.

In the west, there were also uprisings springing up like mushrooms after rain, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and the border of Qingli Kingdom was almost attacked by all of them.

There are wars in every city every day.

The people have long been numb. They all close their doors and windows and turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside.

What does it have to do with them who is in charge of a city? They can't decide it.

No matter who is in charge, life is the same.

Sometimes, it is not uncommon for a city to change its owner twice in one day.

These people in power beat each other up every day, and the territories are traded back and forth. Don't take it seriously. The only thing they care about is whether they can survive tomorrow.

With Nanning in front and the rebel army and the Four Hu behind, the Qingli Kingdom was suddenly under great pressure. After Shen Feng and Shen Xingshu discussed it, they had no choice but to decide to give up the more distant territories.

Just defend the original territory of Qingli Kingdom and the three cities in the northwest, plus Yucheng.

Don’t worry about the others, let them fight over it.

In just over half a month, Shen Feng seemed to have aged several years.

Zhou Lihua has been in a daze every day since she learned of Shen Lishu's death.

Until this day, Lin Chen went to Yucheng in person to bring Jixiang and Ruyi back.

The arms of a four or five-month-old baby are so fat that they are as white and tender as lotus root nodes.

He kicked people with his arms and legs very vigorously, and looked at Zhou Lihua with curiosity with his big black eyes.

"Are these... the two children that Li'er saved?" Zhou Lihua picked up one with some trembling.

Ruyi seemed to be aware of the identity of the person in front of her, and immediately smiled widely. Her clear laughter made everyone's heart melt.

Zhou Lihua started to cry again. Ruyi was frightened and started to cry loudly, and even peed herself.

Feeling the warmth under her hands, Zhou Lihua slowly stopped, wiped her tears and changed her diaper.

"Let's register them both under Li'er's name, so that she will have a descendant who will kowtow and burn incense to her in the future."

The outside world was spreading the news that the King of Qingli had died, but Qingli Kingdom had never acknowledged it, so naturally there was no funeral.

Seeing Zhou Lihua cheer up and take care of the child, Lin Chen stepped back.

He walked out of the hall and went all the way back to Balitun. He had lost one arm and was no longer fit to go to the battlefield. From now on, he would be responsible for the finishing work of Qingli Villa, which would also allow him to reunite with his family.

When he got home, his parents couldn't help crying, but he met an unexpected person.

"Lotus, why are you here?"

Tan Hehua held the child and bowed, biting her lip, "Brother Chen... I came to see you."

hiss!

Lin Chen suddenly got goosebumps and quickly took two steps back to run to the room, "I'm fine, you go back quickly!"

"Brother Chen!"

Tan Hehua looked shocked and about to cry. She turned to Lin Chen's mother and cried.

"I just want to take care of Brother Chen, why is he so heartless..."

Mother Lin's face was filled with embarrassment and she rolled her eyes secretly in her heart. She really looked down upon her petty appearance.

"Brother Lin has been very tired recently. You should go back first and let him have a good rest."

Tan Hehua's face twisted, obviously she didn't want to leave like this, but she had no choice, she couldn't offend the Lin family here.

I had to force a smile and said, "Yes, I'll go back first."

Mother Lin spat fiercely at her back.

When she was young, she and Tan Hehua's mother were good sisters. After she got married, they often interacted with each other. She liked Hehua very much because she was well-behaved and sensible, so she arranged a marriage for the two children.

Unexpectedly, three years ago, there was a severe drought in Danzhou, and her family fled to Phoenix City and lived in a wealthy family. She still remembered their arrogant faces at that time.

It was also from that time that I completely realized that their family was a group of snobs.

Thinking about it now, I feel relieved. That family lost both their daughter and their property in marrying off their daughter. There was no news of the daughter and son-in-law, and they disappeared from the face of the earth.

The couple was so angry that they died soon after.

Three years later, when Tan Hehua was sent back by officers and soldiers, they realized that this person had not gone to enjoy a good life, but had been deceived into the mountains!

Lin's mother hid in the quilt and laughed for half the night.

But Tan Hehua had lost both her parents, and she came here alone with her child.

Father Lin didn't want to chase them away, so he found an old house in the village for the mother and daughter to move into. With some help from the neighbors, they were able to live a decent life.

After all, she is a widow, and the Lin family is not suitable to take her in.

Besides, this place is right next to Qingli Villa. The queen is a woman and she is very protective of women. No one would dare to bully them mother and daughter.

Mother Lin thought that Tan Hehua might have set her sights on her own son Lin again.

No way!!! No way!!!

Mother Lin went to knock on her son's door again, "Brother Lin, tell me honestly, you don't want to get married because you still can't forget Lotus?"

Lin Chen shuddered again when he heard this. What the hell was going on?

"Mom, don't worry about it. I don't like Lotus at all. There will never be a chance for her and me!"

Mother Lin immediately smiled happily, "That's good! Anyway, you won't be going to the battlefield in the future, so I'll ask a matchmaker to find you a good girl!"

Lin Chen looked helpless. Given his situation, how many good girls would marry him?

Nowadays, the girls living near Qingli Villa have high standards and are less and less willing to get married.

After a while, Lin's mother came in again, "Brother Lin, the head steward of the villa came to see you. He said he had something to ask."

Lin Chen's heart sank. Cuiwei came to find him, probably because she had noticed something.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."

…………

Qingli Country is in chaos

The Xiao family army was not in a much better situation. After Xiao Mu returned and entered the military camp, he found that the Nanning army suddenly had a group of Taoist priests helping them, with extraordinary skills.

The recent counterattack was so fierce that Xiao Mu hadn't slept for three days.

But the southern barbarian Aman sent me a letter of marriage proposal, which means two things: if you agree to get married, I will help you, otherwise I will beat you.

Xiao Mu chose the second one without hesitation, and replied with a three-page letter full of insults without using any swear words. It could be summed up in three words: Beat me if you want!

He was so angry that he kicked every dog ​​that passed by. He looked like a stranger who could not get close to him, which made his subordinates groan in pain and their skins tense up.

Anyway, this war lasted for half a year and no one benefited from it.

One third of the ordinary people in the Central Plains were killed, and the other third was in Qingli Kingdom.

Most of the arable land was left barren and no one was cultivating it, and a new round of famine broke out again.

Um... Actually, except for Qingli Kingdom, famine has always existed in other places.

No matter what

Okay, let's all calm down.

This battle cannot be fought.

Development in any era is inseparable from population. If there are no people, what’s the point of fighting?

Sleeping with an empty city in arms.

Xiao Mu took the opportunity to seize two more cities from the Four Hu people. This time, the Xiao family army occupied the largest territory.

It suddenly became the largest force in the entire Central Plains.

I heard that Prince Jing was so angry that he fell ill.

A secret space above the clouds.

Tian Dao propped his chin up in boredom, looked at the person on the lotus platform, and sighed faintly, "I don't know when you will wake up. This is really going to cause chaos in the world!"

"Ugh!"

Shen Lishu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and golden light flowed on the lotus platform.

She was indeed dead, completely dead, and her body turned to powder.

It was just that the heaven acted quickly and hooked Shen Lishu's soul as soon as her body was destroyed.

Then use this Fengshen platform to seal it inside.

"This is the Conferred God Platform that the Lord gave me back then. It can nourish the soul. I have never used it before. You can get it for free!"
