Chapter 24, Nanshan City Dilemma
There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the training in the base makes all the soldiers feel very fulfilled.
Although it is difficult, the results of the harvest are indeed fruitful, and almost everyone has made breakthroughs in training.
The benefits brought by spiritual food such as sweet potatoes, corn are being reflected little by little. The physical condition of all soldiers is gradually improving, and breaking through the realm has become a natural result.
Mu Chen, who gradually adapted to the current training intensity, thought in his mind: "The growth of physical strength is still continuing, that is, my physical potential can continue to be explored. The current training intensity seems to be insufficient, and he will sprint the obstacles every day.
The time, after adjusting to one and a half hours, the weight of the body will be increased to 400 kilograms. Unexpectedly, the benefits of the Chaos Spiritual Aura are so huge. Even if I haven't made any breakthrough yet, I can be compared with human martial arts based on my physical strength alone.
A realm warrior.”
Mu Chen was eating sweet potatoes in big mouthfuls, and at the same time, he was holding a few freshly ripe apples in his hand, and tasting them with a look of enjoyment.
These apples were naturally cultivated by Mu Chen to Ruomu. Mu Chen and Ruomu have a symbiotic contract, and some of the memories can be shared. As long as they are plants that Mu Chen knows, Ruomu can be created!
But Ruomu is still refining the soul power of Emperor Burning Tian Xie, and has no time to cultivate it on a large scale.
Each apple contains a small amount of life energy and very sufficient spiritual energy. The spiritual energy reserve is probably several times that of sweet potatoes of the same volume. The benefits of an apple to warriors are as good as those of low-level spiritual energy pills, which really makes Mu Chen
Surprised.
Today's Tianyuan Continent has caused three disasters to come to the world due to the great disasters that broke out in ancient times, and the laws of heaven and earth are missing, and the spiritual energy is dispersed...
Whether it is humans or other strange beasts, it is extremely difficult to practice and advance. In addition, the food consumed by ordinary people is inferior coarse grains, and the impurities and toxins in the body increase. If you want to break through the realm, you are already comparable to climbing the sky.
.
A single apple in Mu Chen's hand can have the effect of a low-level spiritual pill. If taken for a long time, his physical fitness will definitely be greatly improved.
By then, cultivation will be smooth sailing. If others know this secret, it is estimated that all the forces on the continent will come to snatch Mu Chen's apples. This is even more enviable than laying golden eggs.
Just when Mu Chen was still enjoying the comfortable time of lunch, Qin Xue came slowly with her round legs.
During this period, Qin Xue was not idle either. Not only did she participate in training, but she also had to supervise the construction process of the base. A large area of farmland in the back mountain was also opened up to plant fruit trees. The task was heavy, and Qin Xue also had little free time.
Qin Xue took an apple from Mu Chen's hand, and said with a thrust, "Hmph, I didn't even call me. I'm so stingy to eat apples here by myself. You kid, do you still remember my sister!"
Looking at Qin Xue's plump and her long round legs, Mu Chen didn't shy away, staring straight at her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister Xue, I went to the back mountain just now, and I saw that Sister Xue was still busy,
So I came here first. How was the back mountain like this? I saw that the sweet potatoes and corn were growing very well."
Speaking of this, Qin Xue smiled and said, "Hehe, the spiritual food you made is a magical thing. It has only been less than a month, and the sweet potato field is already green. I flipped through the soil and inside.
The sweet potatoes are the size of fists, and in a few days, they will definitely have a good harvest. As for corn, small fruits have grown. I believe that in a few days, they will be able to harvest. The most powerful thing is the yield, on a corn rod
, it was actually full of corn, densely packed, and it was truly a thing of the immortal family."
Speaking of this, Qin Xue looked expectant and said, "If this continues, our Mu family will be rich enough to rival the country in less than two years! Hahaha."
Mu Chen laughed in a low voice and said, "Sister Xue, you seem very proud of being a member of the Mu family. Why not, I will go find my mother and let Sister Xue officially enter my Mu family genealogy."
After all, Qin Xue is the goddaughter of the Mu family. Even though the Mu family grew up, due to the rituals and laws, Qin Xue did not join the Mu family genealogy and still retained the surname of her biological father. Of course, Qin Xue knows what it means to join the genealogy.
Qin Xue's face turned red and she said angrily: "Boy, what are you thinking about? I won't marry you. I'm a little brat, always thinking about this dirty thing."
"Sister Xue, this is a big event in life, how can it be a dirty thing? My heart for Sister Xue, Sister Xue should understand. I heard from my mother that when I was a child, Sister Xue held me to sleep every day, and she always kept it.
It means that I want to marry me when I grow up. Could it be that Sister Xue wants to go back on her word?”
As he said that, Mu Chen gently held Qin Xue's jade hand, and the silk-like touch made Mu Chen nostalgic.
"That...that's just a ignorant person when I was a child, and I was talking nonsense, and I didn't count it!"
Qin Xue was shocked and wanted to pull out her little hand, but after using force several times, she failed to succeed, and her strength became much smaller.
"Then I don't care. Sister Xue said this in front of my father and mother. It was also the marriage they promised. It's too late for you to regret it."
At this time, Qin Xue's face turned slightly red. After all, she was only 2 years older than Mu Chen. How could Mu Chen, an old man who was almost 30 years old, was thick-skinned. After a few words, Mu Chen became shy after teasing him.
.
"I...I won't tell you anymore. There is something else on the back mountain. I'll leave first..." As he said that, Qin Xue pulled out her little hand and ran away in panic.
Looking at Qin Xue's back, Mu Chen's heart was filled with warmth.
After walking a few steps, Qin Xue suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, my mother asked me to pass the message, so that you can go back to Nanshan City in the past few days. It seems that there is something to discuss with you."
"Mother is looking for me? Could it be that something happened in the royal palace?"
"I don't know this, but the person who came to pass the message gave you time to go back and have a look. It seems that you are not in a hurry, so there should be nothing big."
In the afternoon, Mu Chen, who wanted to continue training, gave himself a vacation, rode a black wildebeest, rushed back to the city lord's mansion.
When I entered the lobby of the city lord's mansion, there were already several people sitting in the lobby, including Mu Chen's mother, grandparents, and even Mu Chen's uncle Xiao Jun.
When Xiao Yuantu saw Mu Chen coming back, he was also happy and said, "Xiao Chen is back. I heard that you have been training very hard in the military camp these days and are a good child."
Xiao’s mother also said, “Chen’er, come and see your grandmother.”
Mu Chen’s grandmother looks like a middle-aged lady, with tenderness in her eyes and kind face. When she was a child, Mu Chen’s grandmother was very doting on Mu Chen.
Mu Chen: "Grandma, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and my grandma is still so elegant and noble."
"It's still my little Chen who is sweet-mouthed. Come here quickly and let grandma take a good look..."
Mu Chen smiled and reminisced about the past with his family. After a long time, Mu Chen said, "Mother, I'm so anxious to ask me to come back. Is something wrong?"
"The big thing is nothing, it's just your grandmother who wants to see you, but it's a little bit. The Tianrong Business has made a lot of moves recently, raising the food price in Nanshan County, which made the people of Nanshan County complain, and even the royal palace was said.
It's despised." Xiao's mother said calmly.
"It's Tianrong Business again! It seems that the Murong family sincerely doesn't want my Mu family to have a good life."
Xiao Yuantu frowned and said, "This Tianrong Trading Company controls half of the food sales of the empire. Our Nanshan County is located in the mountains and there are not many fertile fields for cultivation. It has been drought for years. The strange beasts are also fierce. If they are Murong
The family has increased the price of grain, and Nanshan County will have a hard time in the future."
Mu Chen: "It's angry to say that, but with our current military and financial resources, we have not yet had the strength to go into full war with Tianrong Trading Bank, so we can only endure it first and develop it with peace of mind for a while."
Xiao’s mother: “We can still persist in a short time, because we are afraid that the Murong family will become more and more arrogant and force our Muslim family to make sacrifices at the price of food. By then, whatever we do will be passive.”
"You don't need to worry about this. After our spiritual grain is planted on a large scale, all problems will be solved. I believe that the future right to speak in food will belong to my mother's family. Humph, what Tianrong Business Company is in sweet potato and corn
In the face of the output, who would care about those coarse grains? It just takes time now."
Xiao Yuantu was a little surprised and said, "Listen to Xiao Chen's meaning is to prepare to disclose the cultivation methods of sweet potatoes, corn and other spiritual food in the future! Wouldn't this be a pity? If we could always master these two spiritual foods.
The method of cultivation, the entire Celestial Empire dare not underestimate us."
"Grandpa, don't worry, sweet potatoes and corn are just the lowest spiritual food. If we hadn't had enough abilities now, I could have cultivated more powerful spiritual food."
"Oh! There is actually this matter. It seems that Xiao Chen has a lot of skills."
Xiao’er: “By the way, Chen’er, sweet potato corn has passed the testing stage and can be planted on a large scale. It’s better to teach the method of cultivating sweet potato corn to your grandfather, and let your grandfather order people to plant it.”
Mu Chen did not hesitate at all and said, "Of course this is good. The family will not speak two families. My mother can send workers who are familiar with the two methods of spiritual grain cultivation to go to my grandfather's place. I believe it will take no time to master it."
Seeing that Mu Chen had no idea, Xiao Yuantu gave up such an important cultivation method and felt relieved: "Xiao Chen, don't worry, grandpa must do a good job of confidentiality and not let this news leak a little."
At this moment, a guard suddenly came in outside the door and said a few words to Xiao Yuantu. Xiao Yuantu frowned first, then waved his hand and asked the guard to retreat.
"Grandpa, is something wrong?"
"Hmph, what else can there be? That bandits came out to cause trouble again. Some time ago, Xiao Chen, you caught the third leader of the Hung Lang Village. Now Hung Lang Village kills and plunders all over the place, threatening to let us go.
Burning bear, I have already ordered the elite soldiers of the palace to go to encircle and suppress them. I believe that there will be a result in a few days. I still don’t believe it anymore and cannot solve these bandits.”
"Grandpa, are there many bandits around Nanshan City?"
Xiao Jun interrupted at this time, "Xiaochen, you don't know that most of our Nanshan County are mountains, and the forest area is vast. Most of the people in Nanshan City are hunters, and their strength is not bad. Once they are
When assembled, a force will be formed. In addition, some nobles constantly exploit civilians. Many civilians cannot survive, so they go to the mountains to get into grass and do some plundering. Over time, the number of bandits formed has already been
It's quite huge, and this is also a big problem for Nanshan County."
"So, those bandits have their own difficulties."
"That can't be said that. There are indeed a few bandits who specialize in plundering wealthy and nobles, and will not attack civilians. They are still good, but most bandits are still targeting those small villages, after all, plundering nobles.
, life is dangerous, and the danger is much lower."
Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, how much do you know about the bandit strongholds around my Nanshan City?"
"Everyone basically understands that, after all, those bandits are the main enemies of my city lord's mansion. There are records in the city lord's mansion. It's not easy to catch them. I have sent cities countless times.
The guards went to encircle and suppress the enemy, but the effect was very little."
"Grandpa, can you give me a copy of all the details of the bandit strongholds you know?"
"Xiao Chen, you are the lord of Nanshan County. You should know this. Later, I will ask my subordinates to sort out the information about the bandits around you and give them all to you."
"Thank you grandpa!"
