Taishi Xingwei touched his rosacea and became silent as if recalling what he had seen and heard when he was young.
After a moment, he said: "Because although the Linyuan Empire does not expand externally, it does not prevent other countries from fighting against each other. As long as they do not invade them, they will basically not interfere. For example, if the Chiyue Empire takes action against the Shenwu Empire, they will not
If you interfere, you can even collect tolls from the Scarlet Moon Empire to improve your empire's economy."
"They are really cruel and hateful. Although they say they do not initiate wars, they rely on other empires to fight each other to make war profits. Don't they have the humanity and compassion to be friends on the same continent?" Mo Ran said angrily.
Taishi Xingwei sighed and said: "When I once traveled to the Linyuan Empire, I found that their citizens were worshiping a god named Kuahai. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, Kuahai God used his supreme power to save them from disasters.
, moved them here from outside the mainland, and forcibly carved out a country for them to thrive. They were invaders thousands of years ago, so what kind of humanity and conscience do they need to have?"
Taishi Xingwei's words brought a picture to everyone's mind.
A giant as tall as the sky crossed the wild world and relocated an ethnic group that was about to become extinct from one continent to another.
"Is there really a god in this world?" Dolin asked feeling very depressed.
"I don't know if there are gods, but I know that if I really follow what the people of Linyuan Empire say, the one who can achieve this step must at least be in the realm of the Holy Lord." Taishi Xingwei looked at the starry sky and said.
"Then why does this saint or god, Kuaihai, want to rescue these cold-blooded monsters?" Dolin asked in confusion.
"Then I don't know, maybe it's because of some transactions." Taishi Xingwei shook his head and said.
Dorian reluctantly put the marinated steak on the fire and grilled it. The oil and water that came out due to the high temperature sizzled, and a scent wafted into the night sky.
Everyone was quiet and watched Daolin cook for them. They didn't know what they were thinking. Maybe they were thinking about buying something in the Emerald City, or the war on the front line of the empire, or the idea of bringing a race from outside the continent.
The God who moved across the sea.
As the steak was grilled, he cut it up and distributed it to everyone while waving the golden kitchen knife. Dorian then placed the iron bucket with white rice on the shelf on the bonfire, and waited for everyone to finish the steak before taking a sip of the hot porridge.
I think this is the most comfortable thing on a cold night.
After dinner, everyone was ready to rest and returned to the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was big enough to sleep three people, otherwise the night would have been difficult.
The interior of the carriage is insulated, so everyone's sleep quality can be guaranteed during this cold night.
There was no talking all night. After dawn, everyone did morning exercises in the snow. After the morning exercises, they had their daily breakfast. After breakfast, they continued on their way.
There are still three hundred miles away from the Emerald City. This journey cannot be reached in one day, so they decided to settle in a place called Helan Town today. This place is only a hundred miles away from the Emerald City. They will definitely be able to reach it before dark tomorrow.
.
The journey was uneventful, except for letting the horses rest, the rest of the time was spent on the road.
"The houses in front should be Helan Town." Jijiu pointed to a roof in the distance and said.
Dolin was shocked when he heard this. After traveling all day, he could finally rest.
As the motorcade drove into the low city gate, Dolin was stunned for a moment. He saw that the streets of Helan Town were empty. It was just dusk at this time, so why was there no human being at all?
After stopping the carriage, Dolin walked to the door of a restaurant called Tianzhu Tea House, gently opened the door, and found that the door was locked from the inside.
People from the carriage behind also jumped out.
"What's wrong with Dolin?" Xiaopang ran over and asked.
"I don't know. Look, there's no life in Helan Town at all." Dolin shook his head and said.
Su Chen also walked over. He also noticed something was wrong. He glanced at the closed doors of the surrounding shops. Then he closed his eyes and released his inner energy to start sensing. After a while, he opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "One hundred meters away."
There's no one inside."
Taishi Xingwei got off the first car and said with some confusion: "Twenty years ago, I passed by this place. Because it was close to the Emerald City, it was still very lively at that time. How come twenty years later, this place has become
This look?"
"How about we go further?" Dorian said softly.
Everyone got back into the car, and Dorian drove the carriage forward.
The shops on both sides of the street were closed, as if the whole town had become a dead town.
"If something goes wrong in a town, there will definitely be a notice before entering the town. Now there is no hint. Which county is Helan Town in charge of?" Dolin turned to ask Jijiu.
Quit drinking spread out the map and started looking up it.
"It's Hezhou County." Jijiu pointed at the map and said.
"In which direction?" Dowling asked, nodding.
"Ahead!" Jijiu raised his hand and pointed forward.
"There is something strange here. Let's go forward to Hezhou County." Daolin shouted and took the lead in driving forward.
When passing a crossroads, Jijiu suddenly pulled Dolin's shoulder. Dolin was startled and quickly grabbed the reins, so suddenly that the carriage following behind almost rear-ended him.
"What's wrong?" Dorian turned around and asked.
Jijiu looked to the right and said softly: "Someone was peeping at us just now, right at the entrance of the alley over there."
Dolin followed the gaze of the drunkard and looked over. There was not even a shadow of a ghost on the desolate street.
"You are not mistaken, are you?" Dolin asked doubtfully.
"No, just wait for me for a while. I'll be back as soon as I go." Jijiu jumped off the carriage and ran to the right, directly running into the alley beside him and disappearing without a trace.
Su Chen, Xiaopang, and Mo Ran all ran over from the carriage behind.
"What's wrong? Why did it suddenly stop while walking?" Xiaopang asked.
"What did you do when you quit drinking?" Su Chen looked in the direction where he disappeared.
Dolin shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. Just now he said he saw someone spying on us and chased him."
"I'll follow you to take a look, you guys be careful." Su Chen said with a sharp look, pulled out his long sword and chased in the direction where Jijiu left.
"Will they be okay?" Mo Ran asked nervously.
"Don't worry, as long as Jijiu is here, ordinary people are no match for him." Taishi Xingwei got out of the carriage and said.
Sure enough, not long after, Jijiu and Su Chen came back dragging a young man.
"What's going on?" Dolin stepped forward and asked.
Seeing Jijiu bringing people back, the people in the carriage behind also came over.
"Let him tell you, this Helan Town is indeed not simple." Qingjiu pushed the young man to the carriage and said.
