Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 207
Li Fan sneaked hundreds of miles all the way, left the boundary of Baiyue Mountain, and only came to the plains to fly into the air with his sword.

Along the way, you can see the carriages, horses and luggage, and the stream flows continuously towards Baiyue Mountain. From every few hills, you can see the marching queues and garrisoned camps. It can be seen that many of them are recruits and are being transferred to replenish The vacancy in the Baiyue Mountain defense area.

When passing by nearby towns, Li Fan went to drink tea and inquire about news by the way.

Sure enough, as predicted, Xun Kingdom is going to crusade Baiyue Mountain again, even the Xiao Er in the teahouse knows, saying that this time the Lord of Xun Kingdom has assembled another [-] troops, vowing to sweep Baiyue Mountain and level Luofeng The remnants of the Demon Palace.

To be honest, this Lord Xun is probably a bit obsessive-compulsive like Li Fan, and he gathers an army of [-] at every turn. It is said that this is the fifth encirclement and suppression of [-] scale launched by the Lord himself since he succeeded to the throne. He failed once in many years, and he couldn't even touch the shadow of Luo Feng's cave...

Cough, no matter what, it can be seen that the national power of Xun Kingdom is quite strong, and it can withstand such repeated tossing...

If you count the fact that the local governors and generals sent out private soldiers to rob the six tribes of the mountain ghosts every day, then the Xun Kingdom's continuous conquest of the Baiyue area can be said to be militaristic.But Li Fan looked at the people's manners in the town, and the complexions of the people of the Xun Kingdom were actually not bad...

In fact, it's normal to think about it. The geographical location of Xun Kingdom is really good.

To the west is Liguo, which is rich in products, to the east is Zhenguo, which is full of money and silk, to the north is the heartland of the Central Plains directly under the jurisdiction of Sanyuan, to the south is the mountain ghost tribe and Nanhai Sanxiu, which can be looted wantonly and has no power to fight back, and the Lijiang River waterway freight.This well-connected transportation hub has naturally made the south a more prosperous commercial center than Liguo.

In addition, the Xun Kingdom's clan maintained an apparent harmony with the four great clans, and they also clearly implemented the traditional national policy of farming and war in the Academy. Until the current seizure of the heir, there had been no political internal conflicts before. I have to say that the Xun Kingdom The Lord is somewhat level.

Although the problem of land annexation by powerful families is equally serious in the Xun Kingdom, the Xun Kingdom can also snatch the land and population from the mountain ghosts, and reward poor families and generals in exchange for their loyalty.Therefore, there are checks and balances, and the clan will not be so arrogant as to climb over the head of the country's leader like Li Guo.

In terms of military affairs, the Xun Kingdom adopts a military system that preferentially treats generals, and can pass on the private parts of future generations. Many of them are professional veterans who have experienced many battles. On the plain, guard the safety of Xingye City.This large-scale garrison army can not only afford the military rations by itself, but even trade part of it. It is also the biggest reliance for the Xun Kingdom's clan to deter foreign countries and suppress the clan.

Coupled with the recent turmoil, natural disasters, wars and civil uprisings in the north, most of the refugees who escaped from the Central Plains were detained in the stable and prosperous Xun Kingdom to settle down. Recently, a lot of wealth, technology, and knowledge have been brought to Xingye City, which has greatly developed the industry and commerce of Xun Kingdom.

In addition, the people of the mountain ghost tribe were robbed and taken as slaves. With sufficient manpower, the once barren land has also been developed into a fertile and fertile land that is almost indistinguishable from the Central Plains.

As long as there is no civil strife in this place, it is indeed enough to separate one side and Xu Tu the world.It's no wonder that Yang Sheng intends to serve in Xun Kingdom.There is indeed a chance to achieve a king's career.

Even Li Fan doubted that if Luo Feng's remnants were really wiped out, would Sanyuan really feel at ease to make Xun Kingdom so strong?It is always necessary to mobilize the Xun Kingdom's army from thousands of miles away to fight the Luo Sect, the Devil Sect, and the God Sect. I am afraid that they are a little bit defensive, right?
Of course, Sanyuan let the Xun Kingdom go, perhaps because the Xun Kingdom Lord still has a relatively fatal shortcoming, that is, in a world full of immortals and demons, the high-end combat power of his practitioners is seriously lacking.

After all, today's clan is half way upright, lacking foundation.

I am afraid that the high-end inheritance of immortal practice in his hand may not be comparable to the four great masters, so the monks in Xun Kingdom today mainly come from the two factions of the academy and the army, and most of the cultivation methods learned are those of the Immortal Palace. Third-rate garbage.

It is said that fourteen Huashen can be gathered together, but that includes the ancestors of the four major families, the in-laws of Zhen Guo, and the backer of Sanyuan.That is to say, when it comes to the war of destroying the country, it is estimated that they will come to help. If so many great monks of Huashen obey their orders, then Luofeng Immortal Palace will take the lead in resisting.

So to put it bluntly, no matter how well-mannered Lord Xun is, he will not be able to escape Sanyuan's palm after all. To put it bluntly, it is possible to follow the old example of the previous dynasty and wipe out all your families overnight.

From this point of view, Immortal Palace also has capable people, and its style is really ruthless, taking precautions before they happen. Whenever there is a chance, they will eradicate Luo Feng Xianjun's confidantes who have inherited them.Otherwise, today Xun Kingdom has changed to Jueyin Shenjun as the master, I am afraid that it may not be certain that the troops have been attacked to Sanyuan.

Tsk tsk, whether it's the vassal king of the Xun Kingdom or the traitors of Luo Feng, with Sanyuan guarding their heads, it's very difficult for these ambitious people to achieve a career.

Li Fan was thinking wildly like this, while inquiring about Xu Shi of Xun Kingdom, while conceiving his own character design, he flew away with his sword light and rushed to Xingye City.

It is not appropriate to pretend to be a Taoist priest when walking outside these days, because if you are a serious Taoist priest, you will definitely have to check your inheritance, Taoist certificates, and masters when you go out of the city.If you can't answer it, you are a wild Taoist priest, who worships evil gods and prostitutes, and is not tolerated by the world of the three major sects.

It's okay to put it in a loose place like Liguo, where you practice casually and everyone else is casual cultivator.But the national conditions here in Xun Kingdom are different, because this is considered the site of the Immortal Palace, and the Immortal Palace actually doesn't like Taoist priests at all.

It doesn't matter whether it's the orthodox ones of Taoism, or the partial ones like Mozhushan, or those in the north who worship Huang Tian for rebellion.Anyway, these people from other places rely on their ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and they do their own way all day long, and they are very annoying if they are not kings.In addition, Luo Feng's army often pretended to be Taoist priests to assassinate the clan before, which can be regarded as ruining the reputation of Taoist priests in Xun Kingdom.

Therefore, the most popular casual practice sect in the Central Plains in recent years is the Shi family.God knows where the Shi family in this world came from, but it is there anyway.Among the Twelve Kingdoms, Zhen Kingdom has the most and most prosperous temples, and Xun Kingdom also has many temples. The Lord of Xun Kingdom has recruited many bald monks to be his fighters. After all, it is better than nothing.

Of course, he would not want Li Fan to shave his hair, not to mention that he is not familiar with the Shi family. Pharmacist, the unique skills are the supernatural power of the big compass and the magic power of the jade flute.

Oh, Yuxiao and Lightning Style have shown their hands in Luofeng Immortal Palace, right?It doesn't matter, there are eight hundred people who use swords these days, if not one thousand, the worst thing is that they don't need high-end goods like Xuantian swordsmanship.Well, let's just use the introductory generalization swordsmanship from the outer sect of Beichen Sword Sect. Anyway, he always teaches Asha, and he has practiced it until he knows it well.In this way, in the future, the master can be passed on to Yan Xingyun, an unknown disciple of Beichen Sword Sect, Yan Xingyun. Well, it's perfect!
As for why he insists on holding the flute in his hand, it’s not because he wants to pretend, ahem, okay, just a little bit, the main reason is that his mood limit has reached 6000, and his mood is less than 5000, so he can blow the flute if he has nothing to do , increase the mood and cultivate one's sentiments, don't think wrongly, cough cough, play the flute seriously.

So Li Fan blew 'two tigers, two tigers run fast' to refresh his mood, and flew all the way to Xingye City.On the way, he swept his consciousness and found that he ran into robbers robbing him by chance.Blowing 'It's so strange, so strange' again, turned around and flew back, and landed on the treetop to see the situation.

Judging from the frame of the vehicle that was overturned by the attack, it was an ox cart. The box car was quite old, but it was still inlaid with gold and jade, and it was neatly finished. Looking at the regulations of this luxury car, the person who was robbed was probably the family of an official.There was a woman and three young children hiding in the car, and the house slaves fled outside. Only an old soldier was still guarding with a knife, but he was also seriously injured and dying.

As for the group of thieves who attacked the frame, there were about a dozen of them, and at most they were from the Foundation Establishment Realm. All of them had their faces covered, with tattoos on their chests, and armed with crossbows and short knives. They were dressed like mountain ghosts. The children didn't do anything for the time being, but turned their heads together and looked at Li Fan who was flaunting the flute on the branch. After all, he wasn't hiding.

At first Li Fan thought it was Luo Feng's people doing something, so he ran into an internal agent, and he just ran away, but when he turned around and took a closer look, he couldn't help sneering, heh, mountain ghosts are like you ?What kind of wild ghost is that if you don't wear your clothes properly?And the tattoos on that face were clearly painted with glaze!As for the mountain ghost, it looks like a mandrill...

Looking at the scene in front of him again, Li Fan immediately understood.Oh, isn't this the kind of 'Your wife and children are in my hands, do as I say if you don't want them to die! 'The expansion chant.Anyway, it's really convenient that everything can be pushed to Luofeng Demon Palace.But it seems that the fight between the two palaces is getting more and more excessive, and they directly start abducting people's family members and threatening them with their wives and children.

Li Fan didn't talk nonsense with them, he directly used them to practice his hands, stretched his strength through the air, pointed and poked, and made a dozen or so people numb and limp, and collapsed to the ground.Then he nodded at the stunned veteran, "When the road is rough, drawing swords to help is what chivalrous people of my generation should do. You are welcome to send them to the officials."

Hehe, aren't you pretending to be a mountain ghost? I'll throw you into the Yamen, and I'll see how you end up hehe!

The dozen or so thieves were also shocked, how could such a meddling psychopath come out so suddenly... So they glanced at each other, bit their mouths, and they all bit the poison sacs in their mouths and killed themselves!

Fuck?Everyone in Li Fan was shocked, so amazing?Are they all raised dead soldiers?
And the old soldier punched Li Fan with his head, poof!He had to spit out a mouthful of black blood, and he died simply.

No way... Are you dissatisfied or why, what is there to compare to this kind of thing...

The women and children in the van froze for a moment, then howled.

Li Fan couldn't help but have black lines all over his head, he's so hungry, this escort mission is too hardcore...

But after all, you can't leave people in this place where there is no village and no shop behind. Li Fan has no choice but to jump off the branch and simply ask, "Where is this lady going? How much will I pay you for taking you all the way?"

The lady in the car was crying and babbling, and she also had a Jiangnan accent. Li Fanling listened to it for a long time, and cooperated with the system translation to understand it.

This Mrs. Zhou, originally the Zhou family was also a member of the Xun Kingdom, but her husband was exiled because of his crimes, and she was implicated in suffering. Finally, the old friends of the Zhou family interceded and finally pardoned her husband. The criminal responsible officer was reinstated, but this unlucky person died of illness first.So the wife had no choice but to drag the three youngest sons of the Zhou family back to Xingye City to join relatives.I never thought that I was robbed by the mountain ghost again, and now the loyal servant is dead, and the servants have fled with the rest of the family property, what should I do...

Li Fan was a little confused for a moment.

That's it?But it sounds like the Zhou family has long been in ruins, doesn't it?Then why send so many dead soldiers to tie up this orphan and widow?
Li Fan took out Sinan and took a look, but the spoon pointed to Xingye City in the north, it seems that they didn't hide any magic weapon of chance...

But that Zhou family kept humming, and Li Fan also had a headache, "Oh, stop whining, just tell me where the Zhou family is, and I'll take you there."

Mrs. Zhou continued to say that she didn’t know, the ancestral property of the Zhou family was gone long ago, and she still heard what the old servant said about the fact that the Zhou family’s ancestral property was gone long ago. Boom!
Li Fan's head got dizzy when he heard that, "Then you must have a destination all the way to the city? Don't you say it was arranged by this old servant? You didn't even ask where you were going with your three sons? "

Finally where to go, Mrs. Zhou still asked.

Said that her late husband had an older brother who was supposed to inherit the Zhou family business, and married the eldest daughter of Lord Xun, but died young.Although the princess married another person, she was quite warm-hearted. This time, it was the sister who had been a sister-in-law for several years who helped the Zhou family's crimes be pardoned, so they were going to seek refuge with the Xun Kingdom. big princess.

"Oh, the eldest princess of the Xun Kingdom, right? Okay, let's go." After finally asking for a name, the eldest princess of the Xun Kingdom will not be able to support a few idlers.

So Li Fan didn't write any ink, he lifted the bullock cart casually, supported it with his hands, and flew into the air, performing lightness kung fu and parkour all the way to Xingye City to hand in the task.

Where has Zhou Shi seen such a posture before, he screamed in fright.The three cubs were also making noise.

Li Fan is so annoying, alas, this task really can't be done randomly...

However, with such an exaggerated escort method, the ordinary bandits and wild monsters did not dare to show up to interfere, and finally let him fly and jump all the way, and saw the outer city of Xingye City from a distance.

Those who start a business are the ones who rejuvenate the country and build a business.

Not to mention, this Xingye City has the aura of a king.The Lijiang River flows eastward here, first north, then south and then east, in a shape of a few characters.There is also a tributary winding to the southeast, named Zanglongpu, which is quite a coincidence.And the stone mountain entrenched by the river in the north looks like a crouching tiger, so it is more appropriate to call it Crouching Tiger Hill.

Xingye City is bordered by a large river in the north and Longpu in Tibet in the south. It stands across the river. The mountain is considered a city, and the river is considered a pond.Surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by rivers and led by rivers, you can see the dangers and secrets.It is guarding the first strong city in the south of the Yangtze River. Whether it is the northern army's southern expedition or the southern army's northern expedition, this Xingye City is an important throat that absolutely cannot be avoided.

And this city is indeed expanded and rebuilt by the barracks fortress. In the previous dynasty, it was the naval garrison. On the Jiangxinzhou Island at the entrance of Hidden Longpu, you can also see the navy of the Xun Kingdom Alliance from a distance. It is the banner that blocks the sun. Masts and sculls, white bones scattered like snow.I don't know how many warships are side by side. Looking from a distance, it seems that another city tower is erected across the river.

Although compared with Changsi City, the overall layout of Xingye City is indeed smaller, but it is well planned.

Surrounded by Crouching Tiger Hill in the north, is Huju Palace where King Ji of Xun is located.The Chiyan Flying Tiger flag, which is now used by the clan, is planted all over the city wall. It is said to commemorate the great ancestor who was known as the tiger of Jiangbiao, who led the army to seize the throne and created a foundation.The outer city wall is surrounded by thousands of feet, with five gates open. There is an inner wall in the palace city. There is a guard city in the east, a warehouse in the north, and a horse racing in Yuancheng in the west. where the ban is located.

In the south, on both banks of Zanglongpu, merchants gather, officials and businessmen live together, the population is complex, and there are long traffic and boats.Living in Xingye City for a long time, there are millions of people who are resident in business, and there are more people traveling from east to west, north and south.If it is calculated on a larger scale, the entire south bank of the Li River and the plain farms on both sides of Zanglongpu can be regarded as the outskirts of Xingye City.

In this city, just looking at the Qi, there are nearly a hundred Nascent Soul-level auras, and there are as many as five people in the Light Pillar of the Transformation Stage.At first glance, this number is stronger than that of Changsi City, not 01:30.However, Changsi City is not actually the center of Li Country's cultivation world, and Xun Country is at least ostensibly united, and it makes sense for many elites to gather in the capital.

As for the aristocratic families headed by the four major families, those ancestors should not be in the city. Most of the manors and lands of the aristocratic clans are divided into various parts of Xun Kingdom, and those who are officials in the court will naturally buy real estate and manors on both sides of Zanglongpu.The house price can be imagined, and even some poor officials can't afford to rent a house in the inner ring of the capital, so they simply live on the flower boat in Zanglongpu for a long time.

Not to mention, Zanglongpu has an alias called Yanzhipu. It is this river that gathers the most densely populated merchants, officials and gentry in the north and south, as well as the world's top courtesans. They splash it with water every day. When you go to the river, you have to dye the water surface into rouge.Li Fan has also been attracted to the name for a long time cough cough cough cough!
In short, hand in the escort task first, and then find a flower boat for a stroll, and see the serious oiran and Jin Qing from the South China Sea, which one is better?

Fortunately, the Eldest Princess of the Xun Kingdom seems to be quite famous, at least Li Fan came riding the waves with an ox cart, and the soldiers of the Xun Kingdom who stopped him heard that he was looking for the Eldest Princess. He piled up an amiable smiling face, reminded him that non-motorized vehicles are not allowed on the fast lane, and then pointed out the way to go, and let him go without daring to ask more questions.

Well, judging by their cowardly appearance, the eldest princesses of various countries are probably very difficult to get along with. I don't know who they remarried to, but they are so domineering...

"Bold! Who trespassed on the Governor's Mansion!"
