Chapter 526 Zhang Yi Baiqi
Chapter 526 Zhang Yi Baiqi (first update, please recommend monthly tickets!)
After working hard for several days, I finally made up for the manuscripts I had delayed in Chengdu for a few days at the beginning of the month. But the end of the month is coming soon, and the annual meeting is coming again. Zhutou can only try his best to code, work hard to code.
The barren mountain where Wu Qi met Master Li Yang and Fairy Yidie belonged to the territory of Muzhou, a ninth-level lower state in Dayu.
Muzhou is a ninth-grade lower state that has been newly established for less than a century. It is such a large state with a total population of less than ten million. Except for the city of Muzhou, which has a population of more than one million, the other sparse cities only have a population of no more than 100,000. More people gathered in various villages. This is a typical lower state with a vast territory, sparsely populated areas and few products, but the natural resources here are as abundant as other large states in Dayu.
Just three hundred miles east of this barren mountain, there is a small city called Liushui City.
There are six large rivers meandering around Liushui City, and they converge into a large lake just beside Liushui City, and then merge into a big river and go straight to the east. Liushui City was built on a washout plain next to a large lake. The land is extremely fertile. There are fifty to sixty thousand residents in the city, and there are nearly a hundred small villages outside the city. More than 90% of the residents make a living by growing crops.
Wu Qi was leading Master Li Yang and Fairy Yi Die along the road towards Liushui City. Wu Qi told Master Li Yang and Fairy Yidie that with the status of the two immortal elders and Fairy Yidie's heavenly beauty, they should not suffer in the wilderness and should go to the city to find a comfortable place. At the residence, dozens of maidens were waiting attentively.
Master Li Yang and Fairy Yidie are both pampered people, and the life of a refugee who has been wandering around for more than three months has long been unbearable for them. After hearing Wu Qi's Gu, the two of them couldn't help but feel moved. In addition, both of them were seriously injured and really needed a better environment to heal their injuries, so they followed Wu Qi's advice and followed him to Liushui City.
Wu Qi even told them that in the wilderness of Jiupin Xiazhou, it was impossible to wait for too many immortal cultivators passing by, and there was nothing to rob if they wanted to. Instead of trying your luck to rob the immortal cultivators who were passing by, it would be better to rob the officials of Liushui City. The many states, counties, cities and towns of the Dayu Dynasty would collect a large amount of tributes on weekdays and pay tribute to the Dayu royal family every few years. The warehouses of Liushui City will definitely have the spiritual stones, immortal stones, etc. that they are currently lacking. things.
What he said made Master Li Yang and Fairy Yidie nod in agreement. They thought that Wu Qi's life was in their own hands, and they were not afraid of what he, a little Nascent Soul cultivator, could do. They felt confident and bold. Don't let Wu Qi do anything.
Walking all the way to Liushui City, Wu Qi curiously looked at the surrounding scenery. Six large rivers flow into the large lake next to Liushui City at different places. Liushui City is located on the lakeside, less than three miles away from the lake. There are extremely fertile fields everywhere outside the city. At a glance, within a thousand miles, there are criss-crossing fields and fertile farmland everywhere.
There are more than a hundred small sparse villages scattered throughout this thousand-mile land, and a large number of farmers are cultivating the fields.
Where the wind blows, almost tall rice rolls, turning into half-yellow and half-green waves. The fragrance of crops hovers around him. Taking a deep breath, Wu Qi feels refreshed all over. Hundreds of Longbo people were running wildly in the distant fields pulling plows, turning the earth into waves. A large group of farmers followed behind these Longbo people, sowing seeds in the plowed fields. It was a busy scene. .
Thousands of feathered people spread their wings and flew high in the sky. They circled and danced excitedly in the sky, and some even played flutes in the sky. The shrill flute sound scared the birds far and near from getting close. With these feathered men in charge of the air, no bird dared to rush into the fields to peck at the rice. The city guards of Liushui City made the best use of their people and planned well.
What made Wu Qi find it strange was that besides these people working the fields, there were always small groups of young men practicing their fists and kicks in a serious manner on the plains in the fields far and near. These young men punched like the wind, and the air shook with their fists. Once they stepped on the ground, Wu Qi could clearly see that the ground under their feet was covered with waves of soil several inches high. They stamped their feet Down, it has at least tens of thousands of kilograms of strength.
Mobilizing the True Body Art of Heaven and Earth, he injected a wisp of purple energy into Zhoutian Divine Eyes and looked at the young people. Wuqi couldn't help but be startled.
These small teams can only consist of a team of twenty people at most and a group of five or six young men at least. They have Ran Ran purple energy constantly injected into their bodies around them. They are obviously also practicing the human race such as the Heaven and Earth True Body Technique. Unique skills. Along the way, there are at least about 10,000 young men training outside Liushui City. This is definitely not the scale of force that a small Liushui City should have.
Wu Qi also had a general understanding of the military system of the Yu Dynasty. In a large state like Zhongzhou, the ratio of soldiers to ordinary people is roughly one to five hundred to one thousand. If it comes to those large low-grade states, those with sparse population and low income, the ratio of soldiers to ordinary people often reaches more than one thousand to one, and there are even cases where only one soldier is recruited out of five to six thousand people.
After all, soldiers who practice the True Body Art of Heaven and Earth are different from ordinary people. Everyone has the power to carry mountains and lift cauldrons. Once they practice to the depths, it is only common for them to overwhelm mountains and seas. Therefore, a very small number of soldiers can maintain the security of a place. Able to fight against disasters such as ferocious beasts.
The total population of Liushui City, plus the population of more than a hundred villages outside, is probably around 200,000. With such a small population, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers undergoing training and absorbing purple energy to practice. One-to-twenty conscription Proportion, this is definitely not the official behavior of the Dayu Dynasty. Unless the city lord of Liushui City wants to plot a rebellion, he does not need to recruit troops in such a large proportion.
Then again, just 10,000 soldiers want to raise troops to rebel in Dayu? Isn't this a joke?
Looking at the soldiers who were practicing in astonishment, Wu Qi felt that the entire Liushui City had a strange aura.
Master Li Yang and Fairy Yi Die glanced at the young men who were training, and couldn't help laughing contemptuously. Those with the strongest cultivation among the young and strong are only comparable to the monks at the Nascent Soul stage. In their eyes, they are not even ants, and they are existences that they do not even bother to keep in mind. Therefore, they did not have Wu Qi's deep understanding and did not notice the weirdness in it.
Wu Qi quickly led the way, his head hanging down as he pondered the mystery behind this. However, no matter what he wanted to do in Liushui City, he was followed by Fairy Yidie, a golden fairy who could at least hit him, and Wu Qi was very confident in his ability to escape. He was not worried about meeting him in Liushui City. Danger.
In silence all the way, Wu Qi led the two of them into Liushui City.
The scale of Liushui City is small. The length and width of the city wall are only about five miles, and the height is only two feet and five feet. The buildings in the city are mainly made of civil structures. Only the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city is a complete boulder structure. It is the square, tall and simple black stone building that Wu Qi is already familiar with. There are six sticks stuck in front of the door of the City Lord's Mansion. There is also a huge brazier on top of the huge stone pillar, and the green firelight is shining like half of Liushui City is green.
As soon as he entered Liushui City, Wu Qi noticed something was wrong.
In the pubs, restaurants, and various shops on the roadside, people glanced at Wu Qi and the three of them almost at the same time. The eyes of those people glanced at Wu Qi, without any murderous intent, as if they were just casual glances from ordinary people on the street.
Master Li Yang and Fairy Yidie were two great golden immortals, but they had no feeling at all about this kind of gaze. These people who looked at them were too weak to lift the tense string in their hearts.
But to Wu Qi, these people's eyes were too familiar to him. Back on Earth, the spies secretly sent by the Sun Changing Sect to watch outside the hall did this. He followed those eyes and looked over one by one. They were all faces that looked ordinary and would be ignored by others when thrown into the crowd. He looks honest and honest, no different from the people nearby.
Wu Qi secretly laughed in his heart, interesting, what happened in Liushui City?
Outside the city, there are young men who are completely inconsistent with Dayu's military system undergoing military training. There are eyes and ears everywhere in the city. Why does this Liushui City look like this?
Taking Master Li Yang and Fairy Yi Die along the main road in the city, Wu Qi was planning to find a good inn or a private house to stay in, and on the way to get some gold, silver, jewelry and other things, when he saw the front A group of people rode over on the avenue.
There were about thirty people in this team, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a haggard face, as if he was just recovering from a serious illness. This man was born with a handsome face. He originally had a very majestic face, but now he showed extreme fatigue, and his whole spirit was broken.
Behind this middle-aged man, followed closely by more than thirty tall and strong soldiers.
Just when Wu Qi felt that some of the soldiers looked very familiar, the fierce soldiers roared at the same time, pulled out their swords, jumped off their mounts, and strode towards Wu Qi angrily. One of them even roared angrily: "Wuna, now that you're here, you don't have to go back again."
Being called out by these people, Wu Qi suddenly realized that when he was entangled with the Qin army deep in Meng Mountain that day, these strong men were all lieutenants who accompanied King Bai Qi of Wu'an of Great Qin. They were all generals of Great Qin. The innate chaotic spirit body ignored the changing face, but in the end they recognized his true appearance.
Wu Qi's eyes flashed, and he was just thinking about how to deal with this matter, when suddenly several figures appeared from a restaurant on the roadside.
A handsome old man in long robes and a high crown laughed and said: "Step back, an old acquaintance is here. Very good, very good."
Wu Qi took a look at this man and found that he was indeed an old acquaintance. He was clearly Mr. Zhang Yi, a fellow disciple of Su Qin and the Prime Minister of Great Qin.
The other person snorted coldly and stretched out his hand to wave to the soldiers. The soldiers stepped back one after another and stood aside with their hands down respectfully. Wu Qi glanced at the strong man wearing a black robe and a bronze Suan Ni crown. Who could he be if he wasn't Bai Qi, King Wu'an of the Great Qin Dynasty? They are all old acquaintances. When they were in Meng Mountain, these good ministers and generals of Great Qin wanted to kill Wuqi with a thousand swords.
Bai Qi strode up to Wu Qi, looked at Wu Qi coldly and sneered: "What a good nose, you actually chased me here? Ha, couldn't you have been following us?"
Wu Qi knew what Bai Qi meant. He was asking if Dayan's intelligence agency had been tracking Great Qin's every move. He blinked at Bai Qi and Zhang Yi, and said to them respectfully: "Ignorance master Heilong, the two seniors are so numerous, we don't have to worry about the misunderstandings back then, right? Haha, this Liushui City was... Will the two seniors capture it and use it as a mountain gate exhibition?"
Zhang Yi and Bai Yi were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Master Li Yang and Fairy Yidie behind Wu Qi at the same time.
Zhang Yi smiled, and he took a step forward coolly, clasped his fists and saluted the two of them: "Two fellow Taoists, may I ask where the fairyland is?"
Master Li Yang and Fairy Yi Die looked at each other. Fairy Yi Die walked out with a smile, and bowed to Zhang Yi and Bai Qi as tenderly as water: "Little girl Yi Die, she and her husband are in trouble here, let all fellow Taoists It’s funny”
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man with a Chinese character face on the horse yelled: "You are a group of foreign demons. If you dare to invade my Dayu foundation, you will be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts and die a good death."
Fairy Yi Die's pretty face suddenly changed slightly.
