Chapter 199

Zhao Mi leaned over to fiddle with the cold snow, looked at the vast wilderness, and asked, "These are all Lord Wang's estates?"

Old man Hu nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhao Mi clapped his hands, glanced at Old Man Hu, and asked, "Look at your words and deeds, have you been a soldier before?"

"Master Hou Mingjian." Old man Hu clasped his fists and clasped his hands: "Xiaomin used to be the halberd commander of the Xuanwu Army. After the battle, he settled down here."

"Xuanwu Army?" Zhao Mi was slightly happy when he heard the name: "Are you from Xuanwu County?"

"Yes... is there anything wrong?" Old man Hu was worried.

"I'm also from Xuanwu County." Zhao Mi suddenly smiled and said, "I never thought that I would meet a fellow villager here."

During the Five Kingdoms War, Xuanwu County was originally a place where Huaxu and Youxiong fought back and forth. A large number of refugees who fled from the Middle Earth gathered in Xuanwu County.

And the so-called refugees are not ordinary civilians, they are usually rich and powerful families in Middle-earth, only they have the financial resources and material resources, and they can drag their families to migrate for refuge.

These refugees built fortifications and gathered in Xuanwu County, forming multiple refugee armies.In the early years, the Huaxu Kingdom distributed seals to them, appointed them, and provided some food and supplies, and they were to delay the Xiong Kingdom's attack.

The refugees in Xuanwu County will also merge with each other, and later form a Xuanwu Army.However, in the face of Xiong's massive attack, Xuanwu's army suffered a disastrous defeat and had to obediently surrender to Huaxu.After Shouyang was dismissed, the Xuanwu Army was disbanded, and the families of the soldiers were dispersed and resettled.

"I'm ashamed, Xiaomin has never seen Lord Hou's face before." Old man Hu said.

"When Xiong Guo came in, I still had to flee with my grandfather, and I was not a dignitary." Zhao Mi didn't care, and then asked: "Then after you moved to Shangling County, do you have any Anjiatian?"

"It was available at the beginning." Old man Hu said: "A grown man has [-] mu, and a woman and child has [-] mu."

Zhao Shu frowned and shook his head: "It's too little. Usually, a hundred mu of land can support four or five people. Moreover, local governments often use hands and feet to calculate the land. If I'm not wrong, what you get should be some marginal land. The barren land in Jiaojiao. If you can't bear the heavy taxation of the court, someone will definitely donate the land to Chiyang Wang."

"Indeed, that's true." Old man Hu was very shocked, and Zhao Mi seemed to be at the scene in person, describing what happened to the soldiers and civilians of the Xuanwu Army back then.

Zhao Mi estimated that the local magistrate who was in charge of dictating the fields back then had colluded with the Chiyang Wang family from the very beginning.The purpose of awarding barren land is to make these Xuanwu soldiers and civilians unable to pay taxes so that the Chiyang Wang family can merge smoothly.

"You...why don't you resist?" Zhao Mi asked.

Old man Hu was stunned when he heard this. What is "resistance"?Did Marquis Zhenming say this to make them commit trouble?Old man Hu hesitated and dared not respond, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

"It's because I didn't think carefully." Seeing the other party like this, Zhao Mi sighed helplessly: "Your life is already difficult, and it is not easy to come to the county to find me."

He is also a veteran of the Five Kingdoms War. Old man Lin has a wife, children and family. He is not alone like Wang Miaoshou in Chengyang County. Not everyone can give up everything to fight for their lives.

"Master Hou, people from the Wang family of Chiyang are here." A soldier came to report: "They also brought hundreds of family members with them."

"Understood." Zhao Mi sneered twice, and set off back to the village.

When Zhao Mi arrived, he saw hundreds of Buqu family members blocking the villagers in an open space, surrounded by several soldiers brought by Zhao Mi.

"You guys are really kind! Want to rebel, don't you?" Zhuangtou was furious, and pointed at the villagers: "Let me tell you, don't think that you have climbed a high branch, and you really think that someone will seek justice for you! Master Wang's words are Wang Fa! You don’t know what to do and collude with outsiders. Today I will open your eyes! Come on, take all the women away, cut off a finger from every man, and let you learn a lesson!”

Immediately, a member of the trilogy family rushed up and tried to snatch the woman, causing bursts of screaming and crying.

Zhuangtou was about to laugh, but he heard a cold snort coming from outside, the inexplicable coldness frightened everyone's bodies, and those tribal servants all froze in place, unable to move.

"Chiyang Wang asked someone like you to be the head of the village, is he hoping to die soon?" Zhao Mi floated up, but he didn't see him chanting spells, and the crowd naturally separated. He raised his hand lightly, and those who robbed women Jia Ding was pulled into the air by an invisible force, and his limbs began to twist unnaturally.

"A son can know his father, and a slave can know his master." Zhao Mi's eyes were cold, and with a flick of his fingers, all the limbs and necks of several family servants were broken, and they died on the spot, like a rag bag being thrown to the ground.

Now Zhao Mi has a deeper understanding of the art of restraining the air, not only can restrain other people's body movements, but also can suppress breathing, and even forcibly break limbs and bones.

"You, you..." The Zhuangtou raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Mi. Seeing this horrifying scene, he was too frightened to say a whole sentence.

"Just now you said you were going to cut off your fingers?" Zhao Mi snapped his fingers again in the air, and the invisible sharp blade flew by. Zhuangtou's fingers were cut off at the root, blood stained his clothes, and he immediately fell to the ground and screamed.

Seeing this situation, hundreds of trilogy masters didn't know exactly how Zhao Mi did it, and they all wanted to retreat, and no one dared to step forward.

Just when Zhao Mi thought that Zhuangtou's screams were disturbing and was about to kill him, a man jumped up from behind all the servants, and with a flick of his sleeve, Zhuangtou fainted immediately, and his whole body was swept away by the mana.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't this a radical move?" The visitor had a straight face, wearing a white robe with gold thread, with a bit of nobility in the simplicity and elegance, and his cultivation base and mana were quite impressive.

"Fellow Daoist?" Zhao Mi asked sullenly, "Who are you?"

"Don't be poor, monk of Qionglong Mountain."

"Qionglong Mountain?" Zhao Mi thought for a while, and then said: "Oh, I remembered, it was the sect who despised Chongxuan Hall more than [-] years ago. Claiming that Liang Guoshi was just a mediocre person relying on the shadow of his predecessors He even boasted that he was not ashamed to ask for the celestial scriptures, but he was picked up by Liang Guoshi with a sword. I didn't expect that there would be such a remnant as you."

Na Mo Dangfeng is very self-cultivated, not angry, the corner of his mouth just twitched slightly, and then he said: "The previous generation's head was ignorant and rebellious, offended the immortal family, and has already been punished. Pindao is now the guest of Chiyang Wang's family, and he is here Mediation of disputes. Daoist friends are superbly cultivated, but their behavior is a little tyrannical. You must know that life is precious in the way of immortality, and you may deceive the true spirit if you want to kill."

Zhao Mi was silent for a moment, staring at Mo Dangfeng curiously, and then said with a smile: "Your cultivation is not superficial, I have seen monks who serve as guest servants to aristocratic families, but like you, almost It's the first time I've seen the word 'running dog' written on the forehead."

Mo Dangfeng cupped his hands and said, "That really made fellow Taoists laugh."

"Enough, I have nothing to do with you as a fellow Taoist." Zhao Mi waved his hand: "Where are the people from the Chiyang Wang family? Did you just send you here?"

Mo Dangfeng replied: "The Patriarch of the Chiyang Wang family is the Shangshu of the dynasty. If Marquis Zhenming has something important to do, he might as well go back to Dongshengdu first."

"Talking with me, right?" Zhao Mi asked, "Your young master Wang Zhongding, is he in the Green Pearl Garden by the Huansha Pond?"

Mo Dangfeng's face remained unchanged, but he was shocked.He didn't know that Zhao Mi had already inquired about the situation of the Chiyang Wang family in the local area, and when he was practicing the law, he called the altar officials and soldiers to spy everywhere, and even found several warehouses of the Chiyang Wang family. The purpose of transferring silk fabrics outside is unknown.

"Prince Wang is not involved in worldly affairs, and he often retreats and cultivates. The Marquis of Zhenming asked the wrong person." Mo Dangfeng smiled and said: "However, the poor Taoist can pass on the word to several local Wang clan elders on his behalf, and ask them to ask the Marquis of Zhenming. Explain clearly."

"It's still a bunch of nonsense." Zhao Mi was in no mood to listen to it anymore. Chiyang Wang asked Mo Dangfeng to deal with him, which was clearly perfunctory, so he took out the Shenhu token and said, "Go, bring it to Wang Zhongding." If so, I'll visit you later."

Mo Dangfeng vaguely felt Zhao Mi's whole body's qi mobilization, and he was on guard. A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and a sharp blade was added to his body in an instant.

Swish!
With the sound of splitting silk, the sleeves of Mo Dangfeng's white robe with gold thread were twisted into pieces, and he himself narrowly escaped the catastrophe by relying on his dexterous movements.Focusing again, a tiger-headed general about Zhang Xu tall, holding an axe in his hand, stood in front of Zhao Mi.

"Marquis Zhenming, speak up if you have something to say!" Mo Dangfeng shouted.

Zhao Mi was too lazy to talk nonsense, this Mo Dangfeng voluntarily acted as a lackey, and if he didn't show him some color, it was not enough to deter the Chiyang Wang family, so he directly summoned the mighty tiger general, swung a long-handled heavy axe, and headed towards Mo Dangfeng hack away.

The Godly Tiger General didn't have a weapon in his hand. Zhao Shu referred to the Jiangzhen Hall's Destroying Golden Axe Method, combined with the Tiger's Power Spell, concentrating on his thoughts, and refining tokens, so that when the Tiger's God General summoned him to appear, Being able to hold an axe in hand has even more killing power.

The majestic tiger, who looked like an iron statue, swung the heavy ax swiftly and violently like lightning, dancing with a golden wind and white light, and the trilogy of the Wang family who was a little closer was involved in it, and it was immediately fragmented, and there was no body left.

Mo Dangfeng lifted up and down, dodging one after another, dodging the ax attack.Seeing that Zhao Mi was merciless, he gritted his teeth secretly, raised his hand and shook out an exquisite folding fan, and unfolding the fan, he could see an ink painting of green hills.

Pulling out his body, he raised his fan to generate wind, and the green hills on the fan looked like real objects, and several huge rocks appeared out of thin air.Mo Dangfeng, who must be rescued when attacking the enemy, directly smashes towards Zhao Mi.

"Condensation, it's interesting." Zhao Mi said lightly, and the villagers behind him curled up in fright when they saw the huge rock flying towards them.

Seeing that Zhao Mi's item was colorful, his eyes were purple, and he was full of true energy, and his fairy clothes turned into a solid barrier, covering the villagers behind him, and blocking all the huge rocks.

"The one who threw stones at me last time, do you know what happened to him?" Zhao Mi raised his hand in a false move, and the shattered boulders were captured one after another, flying sand and rocks for a while, like countless armored sharp arrows, counterattacking back.

Mo Dangfeng couldn't help being terrified when he saw countless gravels rushing towards his face. Although he also had the cultivation base to condense the mysterious beads, Zhao Mi was obviously far ahead of him, and no matter the magical effect of the magic weapon or the skill attainments, he could not compare with him. of.

"Why is Marquis Zhenming so aggressive?!" Mo Dangfeng swung his fan from side to side to create wind, dispelling the flying sand and rocks.

Mo Dangfeng was protected by Xingbu's zhenqi. Although he was not split in two on the spot, his shoulder was injured, and the blood immediately stained his white robe.

"It can be regarded as a lesson for you." Zhao Mi said: "You keep saying that the immortal way is precious, but you help the Chiyang Wang family to abuse the people. Such inconsistency between words and deeds makes you call yourself a person in the immortal way."

Mo Dangfeng was really in a hurry now, he didn't intend to get entangled anymore, he waved his fan to cause a commotion on the ground, and the rock stalagmites burst out of the ground, sealing the Tiger's mighty general's movements, and then attracted a large amount of fog to cover his tracks, and flew away into the distance get away.

"Should I stop him?" Lu Wangji, who did not show up in the distance, came over by voice transmission.

"No, just to teach him a lesson." Zhao Mi said, "It seems that both are guests, but this Mo Dangfeng is far inferior to you."

"People who cultivate immortals are supported by noble families and serve as guest ministers, so they will not die for them." Lu Wangji said: "Most monks and guest officials just defend against assassins and evil spirits for the children of aristocratic families, and take the initiative to stand up like Mo Dangfeng Responding to the situation, I think it is a request from others."

Zhao Mi shook his head and laughed lightly, while Ding, the member of Chiyang Wang's trilogy, also ran away one after another when he saw that Mo Dangfeng was invincible.

"This, this..." Old man Hu looked at the corpses and blood all over the floor, and he didn't expect things to go to such an extent. This Marquis of Zhenming clearly came to trouble the Wang family of Chiyang.

"It surprised you." Zhao Mi raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, and the fire passed through the border, burning the corpses, and said to the villagers: "Chiyang Wang's side, I will deal with it myself, folks, don't worry, I won't implicate you .”

……

"Several cargo ships loaded with silk have already set off at this moment."

Wang Zhongding lay on the soft couch, with his head resting on Miaoyinnu's thigh, and said to Qian Shaobai below: "You three treasures will really have a big appetite to eat all the silk stored in our Shangling County's treasury."

Qian Shaobai bowed and said, "Young Master Wang is laughing at you. The rice millet promised earlier has also been prepared. As long as the silk is sent to the border between the two countries, you can exchange it for rice millet immediately."

"It seems that the nobles in the imperial capital are also impatient." Wang Zhongding asked with a smile: "There are years of floods and droughts in the Xiong Kingdom, and so much millet is spent to buy silk. Don't the people there rebel?"

Qian Shaobai responded with a wry smile: "It's nothing to worry about some unruly people making trouble. And this is not something villains should worry about."

At this time, Wang Zhongding looked outside the hall, and Mo Dangfeng was returning with his shoulder wound.

"What? Zhao Mi turned his face?" Wang Zhongding asked.

Mo Dangfeng replied anxiously: "That Zhao Shu is unreasonable. I was planning to invite him, but he suddenly attacked. I was frustrated for a while, please forgive me, my lord."

"It's really a waste of raising you." Wang Zhongding rolled his eyes, and rubbed his cheek against Miaoyinnu's thigh: "Seeing that you were diligent in the past, get out, I won't leave incompetent people here."

"My lord! I can continue to work!" Mo Dangfeng immediately knelt down: "Please give me a chance!"

Qian Shaobai secretly looked at Mo Dangfeng. This person's cultivation was not superficial, but he was so humble in front of Wang Zhongding, he almost regarded himself as a slave.

"What do you think?" Wang Zhongding turned to look at Miao Yinnu.

"My lord, are you going to deal with that Marquis of Zhenming, Zhao Mi?" Miao Yinnu whispered softly.

Wang Zhongding was impatient: "He relied on the trust of the emperor and was unscrupulous. He clearly came to trouble the Wang family of Chiyang. I wanted to kill him a long time ago!"

"If the son makes up his mind, I can invite a few fellow practitioners and friends." Miao Yinnu smiled charmingly: "And the son has already arranged the manpower?"
