Chapter 260: Outer Village

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, Liu Dan slowly got up from the bed. To be honest, he hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, so Liu Dan unconsciously slept for a while longer. After Liu Dan had changed his clothes, he cheered up and went outside the house.

, couldn't help but be startled by the scene in front of him, and quickly rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

"I'm very impressed that you were able to sleep so peacefully despite such a big noise." Zhou Yutian came over and said.

"No, Brother Zhou, what is going on? Is this still the same dock? Have we changed places?" Liu Dan asked, "But why don't I feel it? Brother Zhou's magical powers are getting more and more powerful."

"The location hasn't changed, it's still the same pier, but it's been slightly renovated," Zhou Yutian said.

"Repair? This is basically reconstruction, right?" Liu Dan said, "It used to be a broken house with air leakage here." Liu Dan gestured, "Now it's gone, there is no trace at all."

"The problem is not big, it is all within the plan." Zhou Yutian said, "I did underestimate the influence of Xuancheng's order. Since the order was issued yesterday, nearly 10,000 people have gathered so far.

It originally took three days to open the road to Sanguan City, but it was completed in one night."

"Xuancheng generally does not collect corvee, but once it is collected, if you don't come, the punishment will be very severe." Liu Dan said, "So after giving the order, no one will dare not to come."

"That's not necessarily true. There are people who dare to disobey orders and refuse to come. To be precise, it was the local feudal lord who disobeyed orders." Zhou Yutian said.

"Which feudal lord of the village is so bold? Disobeying Xuancheng's orders is a death penalty." Liu Dan asked angrily.

"Don't worry, your task today is to take down this feudal lord, declare your status as city lord, and recruit some more people by the way." Zhou Yutian said, pointing behind him, "Did you see that the original from Sanguan City last night?

All the food will be given to you to recruit people. Anyone who is willing to come to do corvee work will have all the food in place and tell them that they will be fully satisfied when they come to Dan City."

"Is this still a corvee? It's basically the same as recruiting workers, right? There are still people who won't come." Liu Dan said, walking to the grain truck, grabbing a piece of raw sweet potato, putting it next to his nose and smelling it, "This

What is it? It doesn’t seem to be delicious?”

"Not delicious?" Zhou Yutian laughed, and the guards around him also laughed, "Give the city lord a piece of roasted sweet potato." As he said that, a guard brought over a piece that had just been roasted and was still sizzling.

Come over with the oily sweet potatoes.

"Oh! This, this, this smell is really worth mentioning." Liu Dan came over and smelled it and said.

"City Lord, please." After the guard cut the sweet potatoes, he handed over the chopsticks and said.

"Okay." Liu Dan took the chopsticks, quickly picked up a piece and brought it to his mouth. He chewed it while it was hot. For a moment, the sweet aroma spread from the mouth to the nasal cavity, and then rushed up from the nasal cavity. The sweet Liu Dan

Some are untenable.

"It's delicious." Liu Dan smacked his lips, took another piece and said, "However, it would be a pity to use such a good thing to recruit workers."

"These are the most basic foods." Zhou Yutian waved his hand and dismissed the guard carrying sweet potatoes and said, "There will be better breakfast later. Go and eat it. I have prepared a new set of clothes for you. You can put it on after eating.

Come on, come find me here again.”

"Then I won't stay any longer." Liu Dan said, and followed the guard to eat. Although the food he had eaten from Man Yue Tower was very good, Liu Dan felt that it was definitely not as good as the taste of sweet potatoes, no matter it was

In terms of ingredients and cooking methods, since Zhou Yutian said that it was well prepared this time, I'm afraid he won't let himself down.

After a while, Liu Dan was full of tea and rice. Because he ate more, he walked a little unsteadily. On the other hand, while eating, the people around him were calling the city lord one after another, which made Liu Dan feel a little carried away.

"How was the food?" Zhou Yutian couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Liu Dan like this.

"Absolutely delicious." Liu Dan extended his thumb and said, "It's much better than that Full Moon Tower. No, no, that Broken Moon Tower is incomparable to this. Also, Brother Zhou, please prepare it for me.

There is really nothing to say about this outfit. Not to mention the fine cotton fabric, the workmanship is something I have never seen before. There are also seams and they are all made of silver thread. I don’t dare to walk around in them.

, for fear of getting wrinkled.”

"Okay, now that you've had enough wine and food, it's time for you to do some work." Zhou Yutian said.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I, Liu Dan, am content with what I have today. As long as Brother Zhou tells me anything, I will do my best and never say no," Liu Dan said, patting his chest.

"Don't mess with those useless things. I still have to see your performance in the end." Zhou Yutian said, "Are you looking at these people?" As he said that, Zhou Yutian pointed to the people who had lined up beside him. They were all in the late Yaoguang stage.

The cultivator, dressed in fine cotton martial arts uniform, is capable and capable

Strong and powerful, with a black sheath sword on his waist, like a soul. At the front of the team, five Kaiyang mid-level cultivators, holding various weapons, stood in front with their heads held high and their chests high and majestic. The light was diffused.

Liu Dan was so shaken that he couldn't stand still.

"Huh?! Brother Zhou, are you going to massacre the village? Besides, even if you massacre a village, you won't need so many people." Liu Dan was shocked when he saw it.

"When you set out today, in addition to recruiting people, you also need to show your prestige as the city lord, so that everyone around you will know that you are the city lord of Dan City. This is your strength. If there is no one who can resist you,

Strength, then be obedient

You should do your own thing there, listen to you, and don't cause trouble for you." Zhou Yutian said, "In addition, the feudal lord you are going to find today is not a good person. If he runs fast, there will be many people.

I will definitely be able to catch up."

"I understand, I want to see who is so bold?" Liu Dan nodded and responded.

"Because there is no city defense in Dan City now, all the troops are drawn from Qianshan Mountain." Zhou Yutian said, "Qianshan Mountain is an important military force under my command. It takes charge of the military defense of all the cities under my name. In the future, you will Sanguan City

Building city defenses is indispensable without their help. This one is Cao Jun, the commander of the third regiment of Qianshan Mountain, the strength of Yuheng in its early stages."

"Captain Cao, it's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Dan immediately raised his hands and clasped his fists when he heard this. At first, Liu Dan didn't feel the power of Qianshan Mountain, because he had been hearing about the trade in Sanguan City during this period, and other

Basically, all the matters were intercepted by Lanhuaxuan and did not spread. However, as soon as I heard about Cao Jun's strength, I immediately understood how powerful this organization was. In the early days of Yuheng, this was the only ancestor of the Liu family in Xuancheng.

Just one person.

"City Lord Liu, nice to meet you." Cao Jun also responded very politely.

"Cao Jun will tell you relevant things on the way. Everything is in your control and you will make the decision. If something goes wrong, Cao Jun will help make up for it." Zhou Yutian said.

"No problem, I'm very confident. Brother Cao has given me lots of advice," Liu Dan said.

"Together, together." Cao Jun replied, "No problem, let's set off." Everyone informed Zhou Yutian and set off immediately.

"I heard that Brother Zhou attaches great importance to it. What's going on in the village we went to today?" Liu Dan asked on the way.

"This village today is a big village. Its feudal lord is called Liu Du. He is quite famous in this area and is called Lord Tu. It sounds like he has been around for a while. In fact, he just came here a few years ago. It's you.

A nephew of a manager of the Liu family was sent here. Generally speaking, the people sent here in Xuancheng are basically to gain some experience so that they can get a decent job after they return. You know this better than I do."

Cao Jun said

"Yes." Liu Dan nodded. He had heard about these things. Except for some important positions held by the Liu family, most of the side jobs were done by recruiting outsiders, usually from the academy, and then from the city.

city ​​citizens, and most of the city citizens are selected from the recommendations of those who have already held positions in the Liu family. Although these jobs are not willing to be done by the Liu family, for outsiders, it is a very good job.

Many people fought for their scalps but couldn't get it.

"But then, this Liu Tu is not honest, and it seems that his relative in charge has a relatively high position, so this Liu Tu has done some shady things in this village." Cao Jun said, "That is to say, you have issued the city's official order

Prohibited buying and selling

Because the male labor force is relatively abundant here, Liu Du specially selects those beautiful girls and sells them to buyers in Xuancheng who like the taste of these rural girls, and obtains high profits from them. "

"How could it happen?!" Liu Dan couldn't believe it, because this kind of thing is strictly prohibited, and anyone caught would be dead. Therefore, no one in Xuancheng has dared to do this kind of thing from beginning to end, and basically everyone who has done it has

The grass has grown over the graves.

"Why not?" Cao Jun said, "And once these girls enter the city, there is basically no way to survive. After they get tired of being played by the buyers in the city, they will be killed and silenced to avoid the trade of human beings.

This kind of thing was leaked, so you Liu family couldn't hear about it at all, or maybe someone in the Liu family didn't want you to hear about this kind of thing."

"Who?! Who is so bold? This order is an ironclad order of the current royal family. This is simply playing with fire. Once something happens, the entire Liu family will be ruined." Liu Dan said very angrily.

"Liu Tu's managerial relative here is one of them, but there should be more, but the information is very secret, and we haven't gotten it yet." Cao Jun said, "If we catch Liu Tu today, we should be able to get a lot of information."

"Sir, there are patrols ahead, about ten of them, all armed with sticks." A spy came and said.

"Well, stop moving forward." Cao Jun ordered and then turned to Liu Dan and asked, "What should we do next?"

"I want to go into the village to see what's going on inside, and see what's going on in Liu Du's belly," Liu Dan said.

"Well, you guys are repairing here and be careful. City Lord Liu and I are going to find out." After Cao Jun arranged everyone, he took two Kaiyang level guards and walked there with Liu Dan.

In the village.

"Stop, who are you? Where did you come from and where did you go?" Several people walked to the entrance of the village and were stopped by the guards at the entrance.

"This is Mr. Liu Dan. Under the order of Xuancheng, he took over the wharf and the nearest villages here. This time he came to inspect and report to the feudal lord here." A guard stepped forward and replied, holding in his hand

He handed over a general order to declare the city.

"What Liu, Dan, that's bullshit, we've never heard of it. If you are sensible, get out of here before we take action." The guard at the entrance of the village didn't even look at him, but opened his mouth to chase people away. There were more than a dozen people around.

They gathered around, waving the sticks in their hands, looking fierce.

"Wantless, do you want to disobey Xuancheng's order?" the guard asked angrily.

"Get out of here, or you will live." The village guard ignored him and even took a step forward to push the guard.

"Stay alive." Before the village guard could approach, Liu Dan spoke first, and then the guard grabbed the village guard's hand, smashed it into pieces with a click, and then kicked him away. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

.

Then another guard took action, knocking all the dozens of people to the ground with three strikes, five cuts, and two strikes. Although they were left alive, they basically lost half of their lives.

"Stop, what's going on, what's going on?" Just as Liu Dan started to take action, a fat man ran over panting, and was supported by several guards.

"Wait a minute, my young master doesn't like others getting close to him." A guard stepped forward and stopped the fat man and several guards.

"Don't like to get close? This is my fucking territory. You guys have beaten me, and you still tell me this?" The fat man yelled, "Where did you come from? If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving."

"As he said this, the fat man waved his hand, and hundreds of people came out of the village and surrounded Liu Dan and others.
