Chapter 487 488 Donglai Mutation
The two walked on the streets of Luyang City, a little silent.
"I see that her herbal basket is full of low-level first and second-level herbs. One plant is only one or two taels of silver, which is not worth much. I am afraid that life will be a bit difficult. I left her a bag of gold leaves in the shop, which should make up for the family."
Gu Xinyue said softly.
With her invisibility technique, it was only a moment to leave a bag of golden leaves in the medicine shop, and Cao Shanshan didn't notice it at all.
Ye Fan shook his head slightly and sighed: "I grew up in Luyang Mansion since I was a child. Although Luyang Mansion is not a rich mansion, the land within a radius of thousands of miles will not make the people poor and will not become a problem for life.
The population in Luyang City is obviously much smaller than before. However, the city is peaceful and peaceful, and there are no large number of new tombs. It does not seem to have suffered a major disaster, but there are only a large number of strong men. The only possibility is that the court transferred a large number of labor service.
There are only a large number of lonely and widowed people and women and children left in Luyang Mansion. The serious lack of labor force will lead to poverty among the people! Moreover, many military service and labor have no salary to get, so they have to prepare rations, clothes and weapons at home. This has made the people in the city worse and worse. They send all the food and use to the front line. Giving her some gold and silver will not solve the long-term problem!"
Since he stepped into Luyang City, he has discovered many problems.
Luyang City looks dilapidated, with vines and moss on the walls. It seems that people are rarely sent to repair and clean up. There are many young and strong men in the city, and even the guards are some old city guards. Most of the pedestrians on the streets are wearing thick linen clothes, which is far less prosperous than for more than 10 or 20 years.
Uncle An Cai used to be a gentry landlord, and he had a lot of land in the countryside, but now he only wore a coarse cloth shirt and ate plain rice and steamed buns. Even Ye Hao could not eat enough to practice martial arts.
Moreover, the four-year-old kid who Cao Shanshan was carrying just now said that his father went to serve in the military and hadn't eaten eggs for a long time. It was almost as good as his life in poverty when he was a teenager in his teens.
Even a pharmacist apprentice has been so difficult, and it is probably even harder for ordinary people in Luyang Prefecture to live a life even more.
What exactly happened in Luyang Mansion?
Since he led the Canglan army to wipe out the Green Wolf Tribe in the Scarlet Mountains, there have been few places in Canglan where a large number of soldiers have been mobilized, and the pressure of military service and labor service has been greatly reduced.
Could it be that the Green Wolf Tribe in the Scarlet Sun Mountains has revived in just one or two decades, and the Canglan Kingdom recruited troops and labor service to continue to clear out?
This possibility is extremely small.
Or is there any change in the direction of the Donghai Riverside? Donglai County of Canglan Kingdom faces the sea, and occasionally attacks by pirates and sea beasts.
"Do you want to visit the Lord of the Ancient City and Dean Mu?"
Gu Xinyue knew that Ye Fan knew not many people in Luyang City, and these two were elders who had some friendship with Ye Fan.
"Look at it and leave."
Ye Fan nodded slightly, not wanting to disturb their lives.
When I arrived at Luyang City Lord's Mansion, I found that the City Lord's Mansion had changed its lord and had been replaced by the imperial court.
The ancient city lord was seriously injured when he was guarding Luyang Mansion. After being promoted, he was recuperated at home. He has not been completely cured yet. However, he is able to dance with a knife and play sticks and practice martial arts in the courtyard.
In Luyang Mansion Courtyard, President Mu Lao has also retired and enjoys his old age at home and studies runes.
But she hasn't seen Mu Bing. She is in the realm of Wuhou, so she is afraid she won't stay in the small town of Luyang Mansion.
"Next, where will we go?"
Gu Xinyue Dao.
Ye Fan pondered, "First go to the Scarlet Mountains to see if there is a new beast department. Then go to Donglai County City to see. Only the county city can draw a large number of military service and labor service from Luyang Prefecture."
Although the possibility of the Green Wolf tribe reviving in the Scareful Mountains is not high, it is better for him to take a look at it, and it doesn't take much time.
The golden bird flies extremely fast.
After half a day.
Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue flew over the scorching sun mountains.
At first glance, the entire steep mountain range was still bare scorched earth, black rocks and grass were not growing, and the mountains were covered with gray and dead silence, which made any living creature feel extremely depressed.
Occasionally, in some places, the streams and water plants are green.
But there are almost no wild beasts moving, and birds are unwilling to pass and stay in this mountain.
In addition to burning fire, the entire mountain range of sunshine was also poisoned at the source of the stream and was most severely damaged. Fish and wild animals could not survive here at all. Even the insects and ants were extinct.
Gu Xinyue's heart was shocked.
She knew that this was the place where Ye Fan and Wuhou ruled their troops to wipe out the Qinglang tribe. But she didn't see it with her own eyes, and could not imagine that this scorching sun battlefield was so tragic that it was almost impossible to leave any grass.
The cruelty of this battle is even greater than that of several major battles in the ancient land of the ancestor god.
Ye Fan felt a little relieved when he saw this scene.
Within one or two hundred years, it was impossible for any new orb tribe to be born in the Scarlet Sun Mountains. Although the methods were cruel, he left Canglan Kingdom with 200 years of peace and tranquility.
"Let's go to Donglai County!"
Donglai County.
The closer the two of them got to the county town, the more people there were on the official road.
A golden bird overlooking from the sky.
On the road on the ground, there were a large number of millions of civilians, pushing carts or carrying loads. The rolling convoy formed a huge torrent, carrying a large amount of food, wood, arrows, guns, equipment, sand and stones, walking on the official road and transporting it to the direction of Donglai City.
There are even a continuous large army camp stationed on the mountains outside Donglai City, no less than a million, almost no limit. Most of them are the flags of soldiers from various counties and counties in Canglan.
"It's indeed the coastal defense!"
Ye Fan's face suddenly became heavy.
This is how it can form such a scale by gathering troops from all over the Canglan Kingdom.
It must be that there is something wrong with the coastal defense in Donglai County!
Otherwise, such a huge amount of troops and labor would not have been mobilized from all over the Canglan Country and gathered in Donglai County.
Among this army, the flag of the escort army of the Canglan Kingdom, as well as the flag of the 100,000 Ningbian Army that once guarded the scorching sun mountains.
It seems that even the king Ling Feizhuo was in charge of the army and appeared in Donglai County. I am afraid that Princess Ling Jiaojiao will come together.
"Go to the city and find Dean Cao Hao."
Ye Fan pondered for a moment.
He didn't know what the situation was in Canglan Kingdom now, so he couldn't help but ask the king for help. Only Cao Hao, the director of Donglai County Court, had friendship. If you want to know what the situation was in front of you, you were afraid that you would ask Cao Hao for it clearly.
In the sky, Ye Fan scanned the county town.
There were almost everywhere in the county town, with many soldiers and wounded people.
Soon he discovered that in the county government's martial arts courtyard, he found an old man with rosacea talking to a group of martial arts masters.
"Go to the county court!"
"blow!"
The golden bird swept through the wings and flew into Donglai County instantly and landed on the open space of the county courtyard.
Its flight speed was too fast, falling from the clouds, as fast as lightning, and a golden light flashed out, so that no one in the city saw its figure, and thought it was too fierce.
Inside the county courtyard.
A little old man with a rosacea was carrying his hands on his back, looking extremely proud, holding his neck up, and speaking to a group of hundreds of young martial masters who were admitted to the county court this year in front of many teachers from the county court.
"I have been the director of the County Martial Arts Academy. The most outstanding student I have taught, Ye Fan, the great marshal of Canglan Kingdom, eliminated the Qinglang tribe for Canglan Kingdom and made extraordinary achievements. After floating around in Dongzhou, I was Gu Hanjian, who broke through the realm of King of Martial Arts in one fell swoop and was accepted as a disciple by Wenxin Sect, one of the seven major sects of Shenwu.
Of course, it is too difficult to learn from them, and I don’t force you to regard them as your target.
However, the rest of the Wuhou Qi also produced many talents, such as Princess Ling Jiaojiao, Mu Bing, Qin Yuer, Cao Youwen, Jiang Youxi, Ao Lie, Li Hao, etc., who broke through Wuhou at a young age. At least you should take these seniors as examples and become pillars of the Canglan Kingdom."
Cao Hao boasted about his achievements and encouraged them, and then he let the teachers and hundreds of Wu Zun students disperse.
These students all grew up when he was the dean, and it was not considered as gigging on their faces.
He turned around and was about to leave, but he saw two men and women wearing straw hats and straw raincoats standing silently under the eaves not far away, smiling at him.
"leaf"
Cao Hao and Ye Fan were very familiar with each other. They could tell at a glance that it was Ye Fan. They were shocked and their faces were filled with surprise.
But when he saw Ye Fan wearing a hat, covering his body, only showing his eyes, as if he didn't want to show his true face, he was afraid that there would be something else. He quickly stopped the words he said, "When did you come back?"
"Disciple has met the dean. How are the dean doing these years? I just came back today and was about to take a look around in Donglai County, so I went to the dean's place first!"
Ye Fan bowed and smiled faintly.
"Haha, it's great! You're a rare opportunity to come back. Let's go and have a few jars, and you won't be drunk! This is the first time this girl has come to Donglai County? Let's go and have a drink together!"
Cao Hao laughed heartily, looked at Gu Xinyue next to Ye Fan, and invited her warmly.
Ye Fan nodded, and with Gu Xinyue, he followed Cao Hao to Cao's mansion to have a drink.
Cao Mansion.
In a quiet pavilion.
"From your cultivation aura, it seems to be at the realm of King Wu, which is very gratifying. In short, two King Wu has been born in Donglai County in a row in just over ten years. When you come back this time, are you living in Canglan Kingdom for a long time?"
Cao Hao took out the best wine he had treasured for decades, and said with joy and excitement.
"Well, I have been the King of Wu for several years. However, this time I came back to Luyang Mansion to pay tribute to my parents. I came to Donglai County to visit the dean. I can't stay for a long time, I'm afraid I'll leave in the next few days. I'm not able to explain the reason, so please forgive me!"
Ye Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He couldn't even stay in the Zixuan Dynasty, and he didn't dare to stay in Canglan Kingdom for too long, so as not to cause disaster to Canglan Kingdom.
If Cao Hao knew that he had provoked the giant power of the Zihuang Sect, the Shenwu East Prefecture of the Zihuang Sect, and Mandongzhou was chasing him, he would probably not sit still. Even if the power of the entire Canglan Kingdom was not as powerful as a single finger of the Zihuang Sect.
"I know that King Wu is not without worries. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the troubles and enemies you get. If you don't want to show your true face, it must be your reason. I won't ask more questions. Drinking, drinking and getting drunk to relieve your worries, will reduce many worries!"
