However, when Zhang Qing and his group entered the city, they told their subordinates that they had a group of swordsmen, but they were careful in everything and did not cause trouble or cause a fight.

Especially before Liuyang, there was a rumor that it was the implementation of county bans and the control of militia, and it was full of obstacles. Although he and others had some skills, a team of hundreds of people and only had a dozen sword energy levels, how could they dare to fight against a county magistrate in the county city?

However, Liuyang has many waters, and the transportation is mainly based on boats. There are at least dozens of water bandit gangs in this water. Even if you are not here to travel, you may encounter four or five stores on a straight road. If you are not careful, you may be robbed by the other party and act as a gift for money.

So Zhang Qing and Qian Jiayi discussed and gathered everyone together and no longer divided into small teams, so as not to be defeated by everyone.

But as Feng Yang's soldiers said, he felt that he was extremely powerful, but when he was about to pay the People's Security Tax, he naturally had a headache.

There was no need to walk to the city gate. As he gradually approached Liuyang County, Zhang Qing clearly felt that he was being monitored. There were not many people, in groups of three or five, each doing his own business, either roaming boats and fishing, or sweating and hoeing the ground. It seemed peaceful, but it made Zhang Qing and others feel very strange.

This weirdness mainly comes from the eyes of these people. Unlike the fear and vigilance I saw when I passed by the villages and counties before, the people here looked at them with smiles, not that kindness, but like staring at a piece of fat meat, with green eyes glowing.

Zhang Qing could see that these were not disguises, but real people and civilians, but because of this, Zhang Qing felt terrible.

"Hmph!" Zhang Qing remained silent, but a blue sword light appeared on his body, surrounding him like a peacock spreading his tail, and then he suddenly split a large bluestone blocking the road ahead in half with amazing momentum.

Zhang Qing's actions suddenly made the malicious eyes around him shrink. Although he was still looking at him secretly, he no longer dared to be so blatant.

The swordsmen in the sword energy realm behind him also smiled at each other. The sword light on his body lit up, but it was not revealed, but its power was released without reservation.

This is a plan they agreed upon as soon as they came. There are many water bandits in Liuyang County and they are connected with local forces of all sizes and large, so their relationship network is very complex. Although they are careful, they still need to maintain their due deterrence.

With this action, the team of hundreds of people was fine along the way, but the few people in the lead felt the difference in Liuyang County. As they marched, patrolling village warriors began to appear on the road. Although there were not many people, they were holding swords and bows. Originally, there might be one or two pairs of people in one mile, but later, they could even see three or five people passing by their eyes until they could not walk for a long time. Now the whole county really felt a bit vigilant.

After walking for a long time, the group finally arrived at the three miles in front of Liuyang County. At this time, there were only three roads to Liuyang County, an official road, a rugged mountain road, and a water road. Zhang Qing and others were afraid that those strong sword-hearted people would rob, so they walked on the mountain road. While searching for treasures, they walked slowly and kept it covered with viewing pictures.

When you cross the mountain and look around the top of the mountain, Liuyang City will be exposed in front of you. Waterways, official roads, and mountain roads meet here, and this is the so-called necessary road.

I saw a horse-resisting trap in front of the county city. There were about forty soldiers on both sides, with bright armor and sharp swords and spears. There were two rows of archers on the top of the city, about thirty. In addition, there were four or five masters of the sword energy realm, such as the deputy generals of the city guarding the city, and there were also four or five masters of the sword energy realm. Next to the intersection of the waters, there were also many sword-holding people standing on the five or six water-dividing iron armored ships.

This water-dividing iron-clad ship is a small boat, which is extremely fast but has excellent defense. It even adds some strange ores to strengthen its resistance to the sword energy.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Is this the defense so much?"

Qian Jia and others also watched the toothache. With such defense, even if they had more than a dozen swordsmen in the sword energy realm, they would not want to break through.

However, when they came to the bottom of the city tower, they found that at some point a general had already sat on the city tower. The other party's aura was extremely powerful, and the different star powers around him were faintly conquered him.

Master of Sword Heart!

Zhang Qing and others were not without knowledge. They had their own power and immediately recognized it. Therefore, the corners of their mouths twitched, which was too serious.

"You should pay the Anmin Tax first. According to the head, every five people pay a silk scarf, twenty taels of silver." A general above immediately shouted, not because Zhang Qing was Wang Gao's apprentice, Qian Jia and others were from prominent families.

As soon as this was said, the group of people were in a frustration on the spot. They were 313 people in their group (some people joined in the later stage). Wouldn’t they have to hand over more than 60 ribbons according to their heads? As for silver, they are all practitioners, with more than ten sword energy realms, and a mere thousand taels of silver is a trivial matter.

They have heard of Anmin Tax before, but they never thought it would be so harsh!

This scarf can be used to exchange treasures. The sword energy realm starts with a yellow level, and the sword spirit realm starts with a ten mysterious level. At this moment, more than 60 are collected, which is enough to exchange for some medium-level sword spirit realm mysterious level treasures. This is simply a snatching person!

"Sujing, although you are here to participate in the Youth Talent Competition, it is a grand event for everyone to celebrate together, but the situation is like this, many swordsmen have caused poison to destroy the peace of counties, causing the people to be in panic all day long and disturb the people's livelihood. After consultation by Shangguan and Zong Wang, the People's Tax will be collected. Don't have any objections. If you want to enter the city, pay the People's Tax quickly, otherwise you will retreat to the side and don't block others' path."

"What kind of security tax, why don't you grab it?"

"That's right, I've walked such a long way, and I'm going in the wind and rain, so I'll count the most strange thing about the people's tax here..."

"I haven't heard of other places..." The crowd was excited for a moment, obviously very excited by the Anmin Taxation.

A large black-armored man with his eyes closed and resting on the city tower had no expression on his face. The light on his chest and heart lit up. A swimming fish was faintly revealed in the green light. The shouts below suddenly stopped. The swordsmen covered their noses, grabbed their chests, opened their mouths wide, and a drowning suffocation came.

More than a dozen sword energy suddenly burst out and wanted to fight against this pressure. This situation was obviously a master.

However, this was completely useless. The more you resist the suffocation, the more severe the feeling, and it was completely unavailable. After a moment, the pressure suddenly disappeared, and hundreds of people quickly gasped and breathed greedily. Many people even bent down and coughed non-stop.
