Chapter 411: When the wall fell, everyone pushed it, but strangers came to follow
Qiu Zhengyang gave an order, and boundless starlight immediately burst out near the outer wall of the Si family's mansion. Before everyone in the Si family could react, the vast star power gathered into a sea of stars, hovering above their heads.
The three-qi sky in the south, the Fire Official's Mansion, the Red Emperor's Palace, the ghost in the well, the willow star, the winged sky, and the god of the Suzaku.
"唳!"
A clear whistle.
The red flames burned brightly, and the red bird soared into the sky.
The power of the city defense formation was activated, and the formation in this area was now in the hands of Qiu Zhengyang, the Lihuo Suzaku of the Southern Star Palace.
The fiery red feathers were overwhelming, covering the entire Si Mansion. Many members of the Si family were shocked by the monstrous heat wave and stayed in place for a while, not daring to make any move.
However, not all Si family members are courageous people. Many people have sinned so much that they knew they would die if they fell into the hands of the government, so they immediately began to try to escape the siege.
As soon as a chaotic battle broke out, witchcraft surged into the sky, divine light filled the sky, energy, blood, and spirits transformed into various strange beasts, and strange evils lingered in the void.
The two Si family elders concealed their auras and took advantage of the cover of other clan elders to secretly lead Si Yuanlong away from the most chaotic Si Mansion.
Many of the people from the aristocratic families who were watching were well aware of the coldness of lip death, especially some of the aristocratic families that had been attached to the Si family in the past.
In the past, they used the power of the Si family to dominate Qingshui City and provoked countless enemies, but they always lived in peace.
If the Si family falls, they will be the first to be unlucky.
Someone originally wanted to help, but when they saw the Suzaku flying into the sky...
I immediately understood that the city defense formation had fallen, and without the strength to compete with the formation, there was nothing the government could do.
Then the scene became weird for a while.
After Qiu Zhengyang gave the order, many members of the aristocratic family who were watching were clearly ready to make a move, but no one dared to take the lead.
Everyone's eyes turned to the other three aristocratic families, as if they were following their lead.
The head of the Yang family looked up at the sky, as if admiring the red feather flames of the red bird.
Gou Hanfei had a sullen face, staring closely at the battlefield ahead, but had no intention of taking action.
Only Ji Jianzhang seemed to be moving, but he never took the first step, as if there was a taboo line in front of him.
When things have reached this point, everyone understands the attitudes of the three major families.
And while everyone was hesitating...
The battle ahead has also presented a one-sided situation.
Although Qingshui County ranks at the bottom of the seventy-two counties, the power of the government is by no means weak.
On the contrary.
The entire Qingshui City except the Lu family, the first family.
No aristocratic family can compete with the government alone.
Neither can the Si family.
In the past, the Si family had to join forces with the other three aristocratic families to form an alliance in order to deal with the Lu family and the government.
Now that the wall has fallen and everyone is pushing against it, it is only a matter of time before the Si family will be defeated.
Qingshui City West Gate.
Three figures sneaked up and secretly arrived at the gate.
As soon as you leave Qingshui City, the sea will be wide for fish to leap, and the sky will be high for birds to fly.
Just when we are about to succeed...
In front of the city gate, there are five black and gray air currents sliding down the city wall, converging into a blurry figure.
"People!"
"You have to pay for what you have done...!"
The illusory figure stretched out its right palm, and with just a slight press, the aura of primal chaos emerged.
Si Yuanlong and the two clan elders had no time to react, and they felt that the world was spinning and the surroundings were dark, as if they had fallen into a place of nothingness.
If Feng Bingyao were here, he would definitely recognize Tie Tang's method at a glance.
Astonishingly, it was Wu Mu’s famous secret skill—Yuanshi Magic Palm!
Si Family Mansion.
The chaotic situation was quickly calmed down. Seeing that the situation was over, many members of the Si family did not dare to resist at all. Many people knelt down and surrendered.
Qiu Zhengyang and Li Qingwan teamed up to search, but could not find any trace of Si Yuanlong.
Just when they were about to expand their search, they heard three thumps falling to the ground, and three figures landed in front of the two of them.
If not Si Yuanlong, who are the three of them?
After the vague figure was thrown out to the three of them, it turned into five jets of black and gray air and dispersed. Qiu Zhengyang and Li Qingwan both looked at it and secretly smacked their lips. They recognized it at a glance as Tie Tang's magical power.
Qiu Zhengyang said with some emotion: "Didn't he go to Yanxia Cave, how could he take action from such a distance?"
Li Qingwan looked into the distance and said calmly: "His current cultivation strength has made rapid progress. Since he came back last time, I have been unable to see through it."
"I don't know how mysterious the skills he practices are. I always feel that he is a little incompatible with us."
"The future law that replaces the present law will naturally have its own magic. Maybe... we will understand it in the future."
The smoke cleared and corpses were everywhere.
Even though many people in the Si family surrendered, there were also many who tried to resist and escaped. Their fatal blows also caused some casualties to the government's police officers and soldiers.
However, this battle ended too quickly. Many of the great witches of the Si family, as well as the masters of the magical realm, were killed by the formation Suzaku, Li Qingwan, Qiu Zhengyang and others. The strength of the two sides was completely unequal.
A total of more than 10,000 people gathered in front and behind the Si family. In addition to the more than 1,000 people who died, the remaining nearly 9,000 people were arrested and needed to undergo strict interrogation before they were convicted and released.
The huge Si family collapsed like this, which made it difficult for many aristocratic families watching on the sidelines to accept it.
But the fact is happening before our eyes.
What they have to consider...isn't why the Si family collapsed.
But after the Si family collapses, how will the cake that originally belonged to the Si family be distributed?
People are always greedy.
There are many aristocratic families that have nothing to do with the Si family and want to take action immediately.
They subconsciously glanced at the other three aristocratic families, only to find that these three were all standing there, motionless, and did not let their men try to accept the Si family's property.
"Iron..." Someone hesitated to speak.
"Sheriff!"
"No matter how good the Si family's stuff is, you have to let him share it, or even choose it."
Until then.
Some aristocratic families have just reacted.
Today's Qingshui City has long since changed. It is no longer an era where aristocratic families compete with the government, but an era where the new county governor dominates everything.
Many large and small affairs in Qingshui City can no longer be decided by the aristocratic families like them. Everything must be nodded by the governor.
"The Lu family!"
"Now... maybe only the Lu family can save us."
Several family heads who used to rely on the Si family looked at each other and left one after another, rushing towards the Lu family.
The destruction of the Si family actually did not have much impact on most people in Qingshui City.
Just as the Si family's power was overwhelming, these people also had no power to resist.
But there is another incident today that involves everyone in Qingshui City.
The first batch of people entering Yanxia Cave have come out.
They passed by the long queue and naturally received many inquiries.
In addition to a few greedy people making complaints, there are still many people who give Yanxia Cave Sky high praise.
Especially those who have received real benefits.
"Brother Su, Brother Chen, your information is quite good. It came so quickly. How is it inside? Tell me quickly."
Su Zhan couldn't hide his smile. He didn't even respond directly. He just shook his muscles and bones, and saw a giant red clam emerge from the purple palace between his eyebrows.
"Gugua~Gugua~"
The blood-red red clam hovered in the void, making bursts of frog sounds, and its golden pupils were majestic, looking down at everyone.
"Brother Su...you, you, you...you have actually cultivated into the Yuan Shen?" The person who asked the question was shocked. He was familiar with Su Zhan and knew that given the other party's progress, it would take ten years at the fastest to become a Yuan Shen.
Eight years.
But I didn’t expect that the other party had already cultivated into a Yuanshen after going to the Yanxia Cave.
Yesterday, the two of them existed as equals, but today, everything has turned upside down.
"Haha~"
"You don't know, but I had a lot of adventures inside. There were strange beasts offering treasures, which greatly increased my cultivation..."
Su Zhan laughed heartily and did not hide anything, telling the truth about what happened to him.
Even the people around him who didn't know him were drooling with envy at his fate.
Some people said sourly: "I'm afraid it's not that good? I haven't seen anyone else get an adventure. Did this guy go through the back door?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Su and that adult are not familiar with each other, why did you go through the back door of Shi Laozi?"
"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Anyway, I haven't met him, so I don't believe it." The man frowned, but he didn't believe Su Zhan.
But soon, other people who got the opportunity began to speak out about their experiences.
There are quite a few of these people.
Apart from the dozens of people who were attacked by Tie Tang, there are also some people who have benefited more or less due to their own luck.
Now everyone believed 90% of it.
You must know that the composition of these people who have received opportunities is extremely complex, ranging from aristocratic families and merchants to ordinary people.
With so much public opinion, no matter how powerful the new governor is, he can't get so many people to speak for him.
There must be something wonderful about Yanxia Cave.
With this expectation and longing, more and more residents of Qingshui City have entered Yanxia Cave.
Tie Tang also asked people around him to find some "entrustees", including the descendants of the three Tie Long brothers, people from the Fang family and Li family in Qingshui City, and even some aristocratic families with whom they had good relations in the past.
Wait until sunset.
A number of people have entered and exited Yanxia Cave, and many people have received enough benefits. Coupled with the publicity of caring people, Yanxia Cave has truly become a blessed place in the eyes of the people of Qingshui City.
And this is a treasure place that you can enter by yourself.
This.
Very important!
Tie Tang had returned to Tie Mansion at this time and did not stay in Yanxia Cave all the time.
He has done enough today. He has to eat his meals one bite at a time. There are some things that don’t need to be rushed and cannot be rushed.
During this period, Qiu Zhengyang came over and asked everyone in the Si family how to deal with it. Tie Tang only asked him to enforce the law impartially and deal with it according to the law.
The night is getting darker.
Tie Tang was instructing Biqi in martial arts when he heard a police report that a strange person had come to report.
"Someone is here so soon? Please bring him here."
Not long after.
Under the guidance of two servants, a strutting middle-aged man came to Tie Tang.
"The grass-roots people have a good policy, and I pay my respects to the county governor."
Tie Tang glanced at him and saw that his trousers were rolled up, his calves and black boots were still stained with mud, and he couldn't help but become interested.
"No need to be polite, let me tell you what you are capable of."
Quan Liangce's face is covered with ravine-like wrinkles. His cultivation level is not high and he only has supernatural powers, but he looks extremely masculine and manly.
"I don't have any other skills, but if I am second in Qingshui City regarding farming and mulberry cultivation, no one would dare to be first."
He has such a loud tone, he either has real ability or is just a fool.
Tie Tang tried to ask: "Yaotian, do you know about the spiritual mother?"
"I haven't been involved in this business much in the past, but my ancestors had the scriptures passed down, so after just a little exploration, I'm sure it won't be a problem for me."
Quan Liangce's words are conclusive and sworn, and they don't look like they are fabricated.
Tie Tang knew that the area in Qingshui County was not a good one. It used to be a "poor and remote" place. Naturally, there was no good farmland for farming, and no one would think of planting those who were losing money.
He casually took out more than a dozen spiritual grasses and rice grains of different shapes.
"Do you recognize these?"
If Quan Liangce cannot even identify the crops to be planted, then everything else is in vain.
Quan Liangce glanced briefly and pointed them out one by one.
"Purple Light Dew, Tianming Flower, Fire Lotus Jade, Red Jujube... This is... Longxumi? Good stuff, good stuff!"
Tie Tang was overjoyed.
He immediately stood up to greet him, asked Quan Liangce to sit down, and poured a cup of tea himself.
"If I ask you to farm these...what are you going to do?"
Quan Liangce did not agree. Instead, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and then asked slowly: "May I ask, sir, if there is a corresponding medicinal field, spiritual mother?
If these rare treasures were to fall on ordinary black soil, even if they could be fed, it would be difficult to have a large harvest."
"If I didn't have those spiritual places, how dare I post notices and official documents to search for heroes all over the world?"
Quan Liangce's face showed joy and he immediately knelt down on the ground: "The common people are willing to do their best to cultivate these rare treasures without asking for any remuneration. I just ask that you allow me to accompany Tanaka day and night."
People’s pursuits are different.
Some people like to be officials, some like to practice, and some like to travel to Beihai and stay overnight in Cangwu.
Naturally, some people like to farm and plow the fields.
Quan Liangce has been farming for generations, and his ancestors were also prosperous. However, after living in poor mountains and rivers such as Qingshui County, he could not use 90% of his abilities, and over time, he also lost his ability.
The opportunity now before Quan Liangce not only allows him to show off his abilities, but also allows him to regain the glory of his ancestors.
So he would rather get this opportunity without any reward.
It may be difficult for outsiders to understand, but for Quan Liangce at this time...there is nothing more important than farming.
Although Tie Tang already believed 70% to 80% of Quan Liangce's ability, he would not accept it easily since he had never seen Quan Liangce's ability with his own eyes.
He asked many questions one after another, including how to plant, how long the flowering period is, how much the harvest is, and even the situation at Quan Liangce's family.
Quan Liangce did not hide anything. He told everything he knew one by one, which was well-founded and convincing.
It’s over.
Tie Tang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you have real ability, Tie will not treat you badly.
In this way, you will report tomorrow and try this asparagus rice first."
"Don't worry, sir, the common people will do their best."
After Quan Liangce left, Tian Wen and Li Geng, who were watching the excitement, also came over.
The great monk touched his bald head and said with some confusion: "If you want to plant, you must also plant those spiritual fruits, immortal treasures, Tietou, what are you doing with that broken rice?
If you eat this food for hundreds of years, it will still be just residue. Not only is it useless, it is actually harmful."
The value of Longxumi is not low, but for Tie Tang at this time, it has indeed lost even a little bit of effect.
On the contrary, if you eat too much of those spiritual fruits and immortal treasures, there are some benefits. Even if you don't eat them, you can still use them to make elixirs or even replace them with other items.
"What do you know? I cultivate asparagus rice not for myself, but for the soldiers."
"It's a waste for you to feed them these. It's better to teach them more skills and magical powers and practice them more on daily basis. It may be more effective."
Tie Tang smiled and said: "The so-called raising an army for a thousand days is spent in a moment; the way to train an army is not to train but to nourish.
The qualifications of the soldiers are far inferior to mine. Even if we give them the best skills and supernatural powers, it will be difficult for them to cultivate them.
Only by fundamentally conditioning them, strengthening their physical bodies, and accumulating enough foundation can we train a group of elite soldiers and generals."
"I'm afraid the treasury money given by the imperial court won't support your doing this, right?"
"Money is nothing, it's nothing more than external possessions. For Qingshui City to truly become a prefecture or even a county, it won't be achieved in a short time. From now on, you just have to look at my methods."
At this time, Tianwen finally revealed the Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
He sat down next to Tietang, pretended not to care, picked up a cup of tea, and said casually: "Then you can give me some advice first!"
