Dark Fairy

Chapter 438
Que'er Mountain, Daomen Village.

One after another, flying feathers rise and fall in Bailang's yard, especially in the past few days.The news coming and going is mainly in the direction of Yongchuan City.

Liu Xu now regards Bailang's yard as his daily work place.I come here after breakfast in the morning and sometimes leave late at night.This was still the situation after Bailang came back from the crevice in the back mountain. Before, Liu Xu had to run in both directions. Whenever something happened, he had to go to the crevice to report. Going back and forth wasted time and things.

"Zu Dao, I heard that the crack in the stone is much bigger. Is it really okay?"

"Well, I know what's going on over there. It'll be fine if you don't get too close." Bai Lang answered Liu Xu's question while frowning at the newly arrived piece of Feiyu news in his hand.

After reading it, Bai Lang handed it to Liu Xu who was standing in front of him and said, "It's the news from Zhou Dong. You should also take a look."

Feiyu's message was very short, only about two hundred words written on a small piece of paper. Liu Xu read it quickly, and like Bailang, he also frowned slightly.

"Zu Dao, it seems that Hong Chao is determined to be a coward and is ready to give up any decent resistance."

The fall of Tianfeng Plain was not unexpected, it was just a matter of time.Even a wise general like Liu Jianyu with a record of success could be exalted and put away. What else could the Hong Dynasty's rotten military system do?It is completely natural to lose the battle.But now, according to Zhou Dong's intelligence in the past few days, Hong Chao is going to give up and start a large-scale retreat north, even without a lot of supplies.

Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that they fled.

"But why do you have to show it off like this? And it's so sudden?"

"It's in ruins? Haha, Zuodao is a very vivid description. Now the news coming back from Zhou Dong is indeed in ruins. Not only is Yuzhong Prefecture retreating without fighting, the entire military force north of Changshui is shrinking. And they either fought and retreated, or ran away desperately. It seemed that they were determined not to defend anymore, and gave up the land to the barbarians, while they waited for the superior state to come forward. This is really not taking human life seriously! "

Liu Xu also felt cold in his heart.It is true that he never thinks that he is a good thing or a good person. He has done many bad things in his life, but who is he?It’s just a bad thing in the knife studio!It's normal for him to do bad things, to be heartless, and to behave badly!But Hong Chao was the ruler of the country who collected taxes!Isn’t it just a bowl of rice to protect the people below?Now just destroying it, isn't it just that the people below who have no way to survive are thrown to the barbarians as rations?
Bai Lang nodded. There was nothing wrong with Liu Xu's statement. Hong Chao's current behavior, which was like a retreat, was pushing ordinary people out to die.

"Zu Dao, do you think Hong Chao's strange reactions are related to the rotation of the universe?" Liu Xu expressed his deepest thoughts with obvious anxiety.

"Oh? Tell me what you think." Bai Lang rubbed his eyebrows. He had too many things on his mind now and had no time to spare.He was thinking about his own path as an [ancient monk], and he was also thinking about the upcoming Lengyue Sect, and about the ghost cultivator Lingyu. The distractions made his brain hurt. This was much worse than before in Yongchuan City. It takes too much effort to engage in intrigues.

Fortunately, Liu Xu, one of his own who was good at calculations and skilled in handling internal affairs, helped, otherwise Bailang wouldn't know how anxious he would be.

Although Liu Xu's speculation, Bai Lang didn't think it was reasonable at first glance.After all, things like the rotation of the universe seem to have nothing to do with a small country in the Xia Bang plane.But then I thought about it, above the lower state is the upper state, and above the upper state is the fairyland. This is not a connection.So he was prepared to listen to the other party's thoughts first.

"Zu Dao, my subordinate is just thinking that if the rotation of the universe is really a big move of the whole world as Hongxiu said, then no world will be spared. I am afraid that someone in the Immortal Kingdom will notice it, right? Since the Immortal Kingdom is aware of it, Got it, word was passed down layer by layer, there was no reason for the Hong Dynasty royal family to be kept in the dark.

The subordinates thought that maybe Hong Chao's abnormal behavior was to retain as much strength as possible before some kind of big change?As a last resort? "

Liu Xu's idea was basically the same as what Bailang had just reacted to. "As a last resort?"

Not to mention, when Liu Xu said this, Bailang still refused to admit that it really meant something.Hong Chao's sudden response was highly consistent with the rotation of heaven and earth.

coincide?This possibility is too small.

Because Hong Chao gathered his power and left the people alone, this in itself should not be allowed.After all, the barbarians came here to help the fairy kingdom clean up the "bugs" so that the resources belonging to the fairy kingdom would not be consumed too much.Hong Chao gathered his strength and stopped fighting the barbarians. Changing directions would be equivalent to fighting against the Immortal Kingdom.Does Hong Chao have the courage?

"Zudao, do you think we should send someone to Beining?"

Bai Lang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Even if there is really some inside story about this matter, it is too difficult to find out clearly with the way we have. This cannot be solved by sending a few people to Beining."

"Then how about we take some precautions?"

"How to prevent it? Send some people to Beining?" How could Bai Lang not understand Liu Xu's thoughts?But he had other understandings.

Bailang continued: "Beining is too far away, and there are too many variables on the road. No one can tell whether the person sent there is dead or alive. It's not appropriate."

Seeing that Bailang directly rejected the suggestion of going to Beining, Liu Xu didn't mention it anymore. He started another topic and said: "Zu Dao, with the Hong Dynasty in such chaos, the north of Changshui will be completely in chaos. Yang Xiulai reported that he went there recently The number of new faces in Yongchuan City has increased sharply, and they are basically all from the north bank. They are not refugees or bandits, but look like spies from some wealthy families. He feels that the forces in Yongchuan City will become more complicated in the near future."

"Oh, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. There are indeed many smart people in the world. Compared with the inevitable situation of being ravaged by barbarians soon, those wealthy families brought their children to the south of Changshui, which has been turned into red land. Although it is a bit more difficult, at least it is not as dangerous as staying in the north.

And judging from the current recovery situation of Yongchuan City, the possibility of these wealthy families from the north gathering here is not small.

Tsk tsk, tell Yang Xiu and Zhou Dong that they can try to get in touch with these new faces, especially those wealthy families who have certain resources.These relationships may come in handy in the future.

By the way, how are the houses at the foot of the mountain being built?How many people passed by? "

"To be honest, less than [-]% of the houses have been built. However, because the houses were damaged by the previous earthquake, many people were living in shacks. Fortunately, they all moved out. Now they account for almost [-]% of the people here. They are all already living under the mountain. No need to persuade them, they went down on their own as soon as they heard about it. They were frightened by the previous earthquake."

"This is the best. From now on, try not to retain more people in the mountains except for the craftsmen and laborers at the blast furnace."
