The three counties of Lushui, Dieshui and Yong'an have finally returned to peace. After a year of recuperation, every family has basically had enough food. No matter how rich they are, they will not suffer easily due to natural disasters.
Until a few months ago, a ninth-level warrior came to Dieshui County.
He has many subordinates, and if the evil dragons are not included among them, their strength is even stronger than the Green Dragon Gang, which was wiped out long ago.
And their approach is only a little better than the people of the Qingjiao Gang, and they will not sacrifice people at will.
Every household in the three counties has to pay more food than under the previous rule of King Jiang He, and also pay a certain amount of gold and silver treasures.
If you don't pay, you will be regarded as the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.
The people in the three counties who had finally saved a little surplus grain suddenly became poorer, even poorer than before. Those people were really plundering the grain.
It is said that a part of the grain is harvested, but when it reaches the bottom, it is basically harvested entirely.
The people who collected the grain were still talking plausibly.
"The person who protects you now is Mr. Cheng Jiang. Only with him can you live in peace and contentment. Do you understand? You don't even know how to be grateful!"
To put it simply, the three counties that the subordinates of the ninth-level warrior Cheng Jiang told the outside world were able to develop in peace and contentment because of Cheng Jiang's protection.
But what about actually?
The fact that the three counties can develop stably for a year is actually the remaining power of Master Zhan Jiao.
These people are just here to pick up bargains.
But not many people dared to speak out, because those who dared to speak out died.
It's them who have no taboos.
Not only that, but several neighboring counties have also been affected.
Yongfeng County, county government.
The county magistrate who originally planned to go to the three counties stayed because of Wang Sheng's appearance earlier, and went around collecting ores, hoping to get a hold of him.
But instead of hugging her thighs, she received a notification, which was also from the ninth-level warrior's subordinate.
"Cheng Jiang's birthday, one month later, will you contribute five elixirs? What a big appetite!"
The county magistrate naturally knows what the elixir is. You can't find even one of that kind of thing, but now he wants five.
He couldn't help but feel angry, but there was nothing he could do.
The imperial power has declined, and these official organizations have almost no prestige now because many warriors have been transferred and died.
Warriors with a little bit of strength would not take them seriously.
It is said that many colleagues have been executed for justice.
Fortunately, since I became an official, I have been honest and upright, no matter how well I have done, so I can still stay in peace.
But with the arrival of this letter, even stability seemed impossible.
A ninth-level warrior is a strong person close to a master.
Even if the county government's strength is not damaged, it still needs to be well maintained.
"Lord Magistrate, what should we do now?"
The master also knew about what happened last time, so he followed the county magistrate unswervingly and wanted to hug him together.
It's a pity that we are in trouble now.
"First send someone to look for elixirs in the mountains as a pretense. I don't think that person will be able to jump around for long!"
"Lord County Magistrate, you mean..." Master seemed to have some realization.
"That's right, it's that lord. Why is Cheng Jiang so arrogant? Isn't it because after testing again and again, he found that the lord didn't show up? He thought that the lord was actually no longer among the three counties!
But others know it, but we don’t know it yet? That adult is definitely here, but he is probably living in seclusion now, so he hasn’t received the news.
And that adult will definitely show up, otherwise he wouldn't let us prepare iron ore. The only thing we have to do now is to wait and delay!
Once that adult is willing to take action, then the people of the three counties will really have peace of mind."
The county magistrate saw everything clearly.
The forces with the Grand Master will not care about the gains and losses of a few counties, especially since these counties are not important counties yet. They pay more attention to the overall situation.
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Because the Grand Master forces know very well that as long as they control the overall situation, those chaotic small forces will naturally become loyal to them.
Even the Grandmaster level forces are the same.
So no matter how chaotic it is down there, as long as it doesn't affect their overall plan, they basically don't care.
This is also an important factor leading to the emergence of speculators like Cheng Jiang.
The overall situation is chaotic, and the various small situations below are even more chaotic.
Speculators are terrible in this situation.
"I just don't know when this gentleman will come back!"
The county magistrate only hopes that it can be done sooner.
Five elixirs, he didn't know where to find them yet.
If he didn't show up within a month and didn't find the elixir, he would just run away.
No matter how important your thighs are, they are not more important than saving your own life.
…
In this regard, Dieshui County is also a county with many disasters.
The headquarters of the Qingjiao Gang was here before, and now Cheng Jiang is also here.
In the final analysis, it is because this county is the most prosperous and has the best construction.
The county government office is the best real estate in Dieshui County. Cheng Jiang lives here and his subordinates report news here every day.
"Sir, we have collected hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, and are still collecting it. We have also collected a lot of elixirs. I don't know why, but there are so many elixirs around here. We actually found ten of them in one month.
A different kind of elixir.”
After Cheng Jiang heard about the elixir, a smile appeared on his face.
There are more than ten kinds of elixirs. Sure enough, it is right to follow those forces at the Grand Master level.
Shuzhou really has great benefits.
"Continue to collect elixirs. You can have less food, but you can't have less elixirs. Do you understand?"
The elixir has a wide range of uses and has a great effect on the master. This time he wants to make enough, and then he can sell himself and make another round.
"Yes, sir, we have written to notify the government to look for it. We must be able to get a lot of elixirs."
"Good job, anything else?"
The person who reported the report nodded and said: "My lord, because of the matter of harvesting grain and the elixir, many people were dissatisfied and caused a lot of public resentment. Some people said that the master who killed the evil dragon would definitely do it.
I will take revenge on you."
He is Cheng Jiang's confidant, so he dares to say many things that others dare not say. What Cheng Jiang likes most about him is that he never sugarcoats information.
"Don't worry, they are just a group of ordinary people with little power. No matter what the grievances are. They have no way to deal with me. Let them die a few more people and they will be quiet. As for the grandmaster, will he be able to do anything to me when he comes?"
His subordinates didn't say much anymore. He knew the strength of his boss.
Not a ninth-level warrior, but a true grandmaster!
Even if the dragon-slayer comes, he can still escape intact.
Cheng Jiang thought so himself. He had inquired about the killing of the dragon. The master who killed the evil dragon was just a surprise. Otherwise, the evil dragon would not have been killed so easily.
That person's strength may be strong, but it shouldn't be as exaggerated as rumored.
As long as you are well prepared, even if you cannot defeat him, your life will not be a big problem.
And it’s not necessarily impossible to beat it!
He was able to reach Grandmaster and was very confident in his own strength.
At the same time, a young man with a spear appeared on the road. He had a sparrow on his shoulder and wore an iron mask.
On this day, one person was fighting for life and death in the mansion, arbitrarily deciding the life and death of ordinary people. One person took a spear and stepped into the territory of Dieshui County...
