Douluo: Many children, more blessings! My son has the qualities of a great emperor!

Chapter 123 Where have everyone gone?
As Qian Xunji waved his hand, the three soul masters in front of him were instantly pierced by thousands of arrows and died. Their deaths were strange and strange.

It seemed that in just a moment, their life breath had disappeared without a trace, and they were so dead that they could no longer die.

Using Qianxun Ji's soul power, he picked up the blood-stained gold soul coin on the ground, then waved it around to clean up the blood stains.

The golden soul coin returned to his hand.

"The human heart is weak and snakes swallow elephants. The opportunity has been given to you, but you don't know how to cherish it, man..." Looking at the golden soul coin in his hand, Qian Xunji murmured to himself.

The golden shark next to him closed his eyes and rested his mind. Along the way, this kind of thing had happened several times.

It is not unusual, and in this special period of war, strife, and collapse of order, such things are happening in other places.

It is possible for those with low strength to hand over their property, or their wives and children, in exchange for self-protection.

For those with high strength or high status, killing such people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

This incident did not affect their driving speed, as the sky became darker and darker.

They planned to stop in a small village to reorganize themselves and spend one night to rest.

In front of me, there is a small village with some dilapidated houses. There is a large wooden door directly in front of the village. The words Qili Village are carved on the wooden door.

It's just that the wooden board is blurry and can't be seen clearly.

Inside the carriage: "How about we spend the night in Qili Village and ask if there are any free houses?"

Jin Shark said to Qian Xunji, Qian Xunji nodded, this was the only way, there were no small towns nearby, so it was not impossible to stay here for one night.

Jin Shar and Qian Xunji got off the carriage, said hello to everyone, and walked towards the village.

In the village, the houses are dilapidated, and a group of women are packing clothes and doing other things. But what is strange is that there is no man in such a large village?
Why is this?

"Brother, there is not a single man in this village. It's a bit strange. Almost all of them are old, weak, women and children."

There are no men, no able-bodied men. Almost all the people in the village are old people, women, and children who have not grown up.

This scene made them confused for a while.

Some don't understand.

At this moment, a decrepit old man on crutches slowly walked towards them.

As they got closer, the old man looked at the clothes of the two people and suddenly became humbled.

Look at yourself again, wearing coarse linen clothes with patches on them, and then look at the other person, dressed exquisitely, bright and beautiful.

"What business did you two come to our Qili Village?" the old man asked.

But his eyes were filled with humility and fear.

Jin Shar smiled and said: "Old man, we are passing by here and want to stay for a night. I wonder if there are any free houses here? We can pay the gold soul coins."

When the withered old man heard that it was a gold soul coin, his eyes suddenly widened. He had never seen a gold soul coin before, but the other party actually said it was a gold soul coin.

This……

"Yes, I wonder how many people there are in your party?" asked the old man. "Counting the more than [-] grooms, we only need five houses. I wonder if there are any old people?" Jin Shark asked.

To be honest, he was not sure. Five houses was a bit much. If it couldn't be done, they could squeeze in. Four houses could also be done.

But unexpectedly, the old man withered actually nodded and said slowly: "Yes, but I need to arrange for someone to clean it up, is that okay?"

"Yeah. Okay." Jin Shark replied.

Soon the old man withered went to arrange for people and came back after a while.

"It has been arranged. You can move in now. However, as you can see, the environment here is not as good as yours." The old man sighed.

Golden Shark Qianxunji said he didn't care, it didn't matter, and they also brought a lot of daily necessities in their soul guides.

"Old man, I don't know why, there are only old and weak women and children in the village, but no strong men?" Qian Xunji asked.

This matter made her very confused and even couldn't understand it.

Hearing this, the dead old man sighed and said: "It's a long story. A few months ago, for some unknown reason, the empire took away almost all the men in our village and forced them to join the army. Some were unwilling, but they were After a severe beating, he almost died, and even the children who were twelve years old were taken away..."

The withered old man had some sobs in his throat. His son and grandson were all taken away, leaving only his six-year-old grandson and his daughter-in-law at home.

This time I go, maybe I won’t be able to see him again.

Although their village is far away from the nearby city, there are always people who go to the city to buy items and then bring back the news.

In the past two years, the battle between the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had been fierce. The battlefield was like a meat grinder. I don’t know how many people died.

Now that I have finally settled down for a while, I didn’t expect that the empire would forcefully recruit troops, which made people and gods angry, but what can be done?

The empire has a powerful army and powerful soul masters, which are far beyond what ordinary people like them can resist.

Moreover, with forced recruitment, all fools know that the next war is probably not far away. How many people will die by then, and how many families will lose their backbone.

As he spoke, the old man shed two lines of hot tears. He wiped his tears and said, "To make you two laugh, the location of the house is over there."

As he said that, the old man pointed to the five houses that had been cleaned by the women. That was where the five brothers of his family lived. But before they could marry their wives, they were forced to recruit soldiers. The old father was also there. His head turned white overnight and he died angrily. His mother left with his father, and the house became vacant.

It is the best house in their village.

After saying that, the old man left.

On the way back, Qian Xunji said: "The situation seems to be getting worse. The scale of the next war between the two empires will definitely be far greater than before. Soldiers are being forced to recruit in such a remote place. It can be seen that other regions are not much different. "

There are countless such villages in the Tiandou Empire, and they also suffer from forced recruitment, and it is not uncommon for them to be forcibly taken away by officers and soldiers.

It also reflected from the side how unstable the situation in the Tiandou Empire was at this time.

People and gods are angry. Of course, this kind of thing is only for common people, nobles, and wealthy businessmen. It is still the same as before, the nourishment of life is not affected at all, and every meal is delicious.

Maybe this is the sorrow that belongs only to the common people.

"Hey~ It seems that there will be slight changes in the plan. If even the Star Luo Empire is like this, the total number of troops participating in the next war may reach tens of millions. The outcome will be determined by one battle. This battle between the two empires It’s just useless…”
