Lan Tingyu glanced at Ling Jian lightly, and then said: "Governor Ling, there is a locust plague in Linxi County. As the local governor, why did you let the situation spread to such an extent? Even if you were negligent in turning on the water, didn't you still know later?
How should we provide disaster relief and comfort? Or are you related to the Supreme Religion?"
Ling Jian turned pale in shock, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, no matter how courageous I am, I would not dare to collude with the Supreme Religion! There are really unspeakable difficulties in this!"
Lan Tingyu said: "I can't tell you what your difficulties are, but I am interested in hearing them."
Chen Yang and others also looked at Ling Jian, and Ling Jian said: "The folk customs in Linxi County are fierce. Before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, Linxi County and Shanyuan did not belong to the same province. At that time, both sides
There were great conflicts, and frictions often occurred. Many people had feuds. Later, the Holy Lord transferred Linxi County to Shanyuan Province and carried out a lot of suppression, and things improved. "
Chen Yang couldn't help but wonder. He couldn't help but said: "Shanyuan is a vast land with rich resources. Linxi County is just a county. How can it be compared with Shanyuan and why there are so many conflicts?"
Ling Jian said: "You don't know, although Linxi County is a county, there are many hierarchical villages below it, which used to belong to Linxi County. Although Linxi County is a county, it is not smaller than Shanyuan
ah!"
Chen Yang said: "There is such a thing."
Ling Jian said: "Linxi County is a unique and special existence, and it has a large population. This locust plague brought the number of people affected by Linxi County to two million. Later, the official learned about Linxi County
, immediately allocated grain and grass from the official warehouse, and asked local gentry to donate a lot. However, later, when the grain and grass were transported to Linxi County, a group of refugees robbed the grain and grass as soon as it entered Linxi County.
"
"Can the refugees take away food and grass from your hands?" Lan Tingyu said: "Governor Ling, are you kidding?"
Ling Jian said: "Sir, no one dares to joke about this kind of thing. It was a well-prepared ambush, and there were masters of the Supreme Religion hidden among the refugees. After that, this matter made the people here in Shanyuan
They were also angry. They felt that the refugees in Linxi County deserved to die. This side of the mountain had a big prejudice against Linxi County. After this happened, the people all refused to donate food to Linxi County. Furthermore,
The disaster in Linxi County has affected our area to some extent. It is difficult to take care of ourselves, and I am afraid that if I persist, I will anger the people on the far side of the mountain. What if the Supreme Master comes to seize the opportunity to bewitch me again?
, that is a greater crime.”
"In that case, why didn't you report to the court early?" Lan Tingyu asked.
Ling Jian sweated on his forehead and said: "Xiaoguan originally wanted to try his best to find a way to handle the matter in Linxi County, so as to share the emperor's worries. But he never thought that he would get the matter to such an extent, and Xiaguan would be punished with death!"
Lan Tingyu said: "Your guilt will naturally be judged by a saint in the future. Right now, your task is to comfort Shanyuan and not cause any more trouble."
Ling Jian said: "Yes, sir."
An hour later, five hundred carts of grain and grass were ready.
Then, the group of people moved forward vigorously.
As for the Shenwei, someone has already taken it over.
Chen Yang can rest assured.
Three thousand sword guards guarded the five hundred carts of food and grass.
"The reason why many people in Linxi County have not rebelled yet is that they still have hope for this food and grass. This is their last straw. If these food and grass are destroyed or robbed again, then the entire Linxi
In order to survive, the people in the county will move closer to the Taishang Religion." Qiao Ning and Chen Yang analyzed.
Chen Yang said: "With so much food and grass, the people of the Supreme Religion can't move it all. It's easier to destroy it. If the opponent's master comes, it will not be easy to kill us, but it is really difficult for us to destroy so much food and grass."
Defense.”
Qiao Ning said: "So we have to discuss this matter with Lan Tingyu."
Chen Yang nodded.
At the front of the team, Chen Yang and Qiao Ning followed on horseback.
"General Lan!" Chen Yang stepped forward and said, "If the Supreme Sect sends experts to destroy the food and grass, it will be difficult to prevent it!"
Lan Tingyu tightened the reins and slowed down, and said: "It is indeed difficult to defend. The mission of the Three Thousand Sword Guards and the Bu Commander is to defend. The three of us are responsible for taking the initiative to attack, and we must kill the offender as quickly as possible!
"
Chen Yang said: "This is the only way."
There are still three days to go from Shanyuan to Linxi.
This group of people was huge, and the daily food consumption of my family alone was a lot. There were three thousand sword guards, plus the civilians who transported food and grass, there were a total of five thousand people.
Five thousand people, if each person gets a pound of grain a day, that is also five thousand pounds of grain. Thousands of horses also need to eat grass.
Such consumption is extremely terrifying.
Therefore, whether it is ancient times or modern times, when a war breaks out, it is not people who fight, but money. Once a war is fought, the daily consumption is unimaginable.
Each of these 500 carts of grain and grass weighs 3,000 kilograms, totaling 1.5 million kilograms of grain.
Naturally, the Shenwei cannot hold so much food, so dozens of cargo ships followed to transport food. But can even this much food really solve Linxi County's urgent needs?
The population of Linxi County has reached three million. This is a super large county!
If 1.5 million jins are distributed on average, each person will only have half a jin of food in his hand, making it difficult for a family to eat for a day.
Of course, it is not possible for every household to be able to obtain food. It is also impossible for every household to be truly unable to untie the pot.
But no matter what, these 1.5 million kilograms of grain represent the court's determination to provide disaster relief, and more grain will continue to be delivered in the future.
The first day of shipping was uneventful.
Shipping the next day was also uneventful.
On the third day, the team transporting grain and grass passed a lake.
The lake lies between Linxi County and Shanyuan. To reach Linxi, you must cross this lake. There is a large stone bridge in the middle of the lake. It is not difficult for carriages carrying grain and grass to cross.
But at this moment, Lan Tingyu and Chen Yang would never rush forward. Once the carriage entered the bridge and the enemy ambushed them at this time, it would be a disaster for the entire team.
"The enemy must be ambushing nearby." Lan Tingyu said to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's eyes were solemn, and he said: "Shrink the team and be guarded by sword guards."
Lan Tingyu said in a deep voice: "But if the enemy remains stationary, we cannot afford to consume them."
Chen Yang said: "If they don't come, we will take the initiative to find them."
Lan Tingyu's eyes lit up, and then she said: "Okay, let's do it like this."
Chen Yang, Qiao Ning, and Lan Tingyu looked around intently.
Soon, the three of them noticed that the other party was ambush in the grass to the southwest.
Chen Yang immediately said: "General Lan, the ambush in the southwest must be ordinary masters. Once we take the initiative to attack there, their top masters will immediately come to break the sword formation and destroy our food and grass."
Lan Tingyu nodded and said, "That's what I mean too."
Chen Yang said: "I have a way!" He then said to Qiao Ning: "Miss Qiao, you and General Lan are ambushing here, taking the opportunity to hide in the ring. I will lead Xiaolong and General Lan to chase and kill Xiang Xumi.
To the southwest, Xiaolong's target is huge and his speed is extremely fast. They will definitely not notice you and will not pass by."
Qiao Ning's eyes lit up and she said, "Great idea!"
Lan Tingyu couldn't help but wonder, "How to hide in Jie Xumi?"
Qiao Ning flashed the ring in her hand and said, "You hold my hand and you will know without thinking about anything."
Then, the little dragon roared out. At this moment, Chen Yang was riding on the little dragon. At the same time, Qiao Ning and Lan Tingyu hid in Jie Xumi.
Chen Yang and Xiaolong flew towards the southwest.
There were about thirty masters lurking in the grass in the southwest. They were all from the fifth, seventh and eighth heavens of Taixu. There were only a handful of them from the eighth heavens, with the most from the fifth heavens.
These are all the elites of the Supreme Religion. It’s not that there are as many masters as cabbage. It’s just that in this Tianzhou, spiritual pills and spiritual energy are rampant, and the cultivation level is growing faster.
However, although he is fast, his foundation may not be very stable. Once he fights against a powerful master like Chen Yang, it can be said that he is not on the same level at all.
Chen Yang rode the little dragon to the sky above the grass, and the elite masters of the Taishangjiao immediately launched an attack on the little dragon.
In an instant, the swords flew together and the sword array fired volleys of light.
The fierce killing intent came up to attack, and it was extremely powerful.
The little dragon is covered in dragon-patterned armor and has extremely high defense. Chen Yang commanded the little dragon and said: "Fly upward!"
The little dragon immediately rushed upwards, its giant tail swinging continuously, but it violently stirred up the swords and swept them away. However, these swords and swords pursued them and continued to strangle them. The little dragon suddenly looked back, and suddenly opened his mouth and spit out the Thunder God Slash.
Come!
His Thunder God Slash contains the essence of fire evil. You can see the fiery red in the thunder and lightning beam.
The air became hot, as if it was about to burn the sky.
After the fusion of thunder and lightning and the spirit of fire, the energy burst out was unprecedented.
With a bang, those sword formations were burned to ashes by the Thunder God Slash.
The little dragon roared and spat out the Lightning God Slash again!
This time, he was attacking those masters.
Those masters immediately realized the power of Thunder God Slash and evaded it one after another.
Even if they managed to avoid it in time, the ground was struck by the God of Thunder, and a huge pit about thirty meters deep immediately appeared. The pit was filled with charcoal, and green smoke billowed upwards.
Such power is simply astonishing.
Among this group of masters, there are also two people from the eighth level. These two people are Yuan Jian and Yuan Dong!
Yuan Jian snorted coldly and said: "The evil beast shall die!" His hands suddenly turned into gold, and his whole body was like a balloon filled with air.
In an instant, the fighting spirit aroused!
"Savage King Fist!" Yuan Jian roared loudly and suddenly punched out.
A golden beast came out of that fist, and the beast roared with the will of a king.
boom!
This punch hit Xiaolong's head directly. Xiaolong swayed and immediately looked like he was drunk.
