Lin Ran looked at the situation on the scene and knew that he had lost again, completely. If the fight continued, he might be captured alive by Zhang Lu, so he had to withdraw!

"Withdraw! After Liu Wei breaks up, the others should withdraw quickly!"

After his words came out, the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just waiting for his words, everyone quickly retreated back, as if they were running for their lives.

Lin Ran had nothing to do about it. These people were not completely loyal to him. It was good that they did not escape before he gave the order.

Liu Wei received Duanhou's order, ignored Sun Wukong's attack, set up his formation, and punched the ground hard. Layers of air waves spread out in all directions, preventing the trolls and tree people from continuing to pursue.

But he himself was hit in the chest with a stick by Sun Wukong, spit out a mouthful of blood, and flew out.

He adjusted his body in the air, and using the momentum of being knocked away, he chased Lin Ran and the others in the direction of their retreat.

Hou Yi saw those people running away and asked Zhang Lu what he meant with his eyes, but Zhang Lu shook his head and told them not to pursue them.

What he wanted was to spare Lin Ran's life!

Lin Ran is a key figure in the rise of the Sheep Kingdom again. Without him, the Sheep Kingdom can only re-select other lords or push the secret lords to the front. It will take a lot of time to re-cultivate a person with prestige among the lords. , maybe before they complete their plan, the Sheep Kingdom will be destroyed by other countries, and Zhang Lu will have to face those more powerful countries.

The goal of the Fairyland is to expand to the southwest. It is better for the Sheep Kingdom in the northwest to maintain its current strength to hold back other countries.

After Lin Ran and the others disappeared, Zhang Lu looked at the colorful treasure tree that he had obtained and nodded with satisfaction. Now he only needed to go back to the portal, place the colorful treasure tree in the territory, and then go to the place where Liu Fan and the others had the materials. .

The group of people walked on the road for half a day and returned to the portal again. Due to an incident on the road, when they arrived at the portal, although the sun was still hanging in the sky in the Chaos Demonic Sea, it was already dark outside.

The soldiers needed to rest. After everyone returned to their respective territories, they made an appointment to go to another portal during the day tomorrow.

When Zhang Lu returned to Newland City, Wen Zhong had already prepared a truck, pulled by a monster, to immediately transport the colorful treasure tree to the fairyland.

Once all the materials are prepared and the Immortal Realm is upgraded to level five, the Immortal Realm will expand again, and Newlan City and Yunlin City will be included in the Immortal Realm!

Originally, even at level five, Yunlin City should not be able to expand, but there are rules for territory expansion. If there is a city occupied by a lord, then priority will be given to expanding to the occupied city. If not, then it will be expanded to an unowned place. Expand.

But if it is a place that has been occupied by other lords or indigenous forces, then the lord cannot expand. Even if it is surrounded in the middle, it needs to be conquered first. The scope of the territory will expand along with the siege of the city until it expands to the size of the territory. until.

As soon as the delivery truck left Newland City, Zhang Lu followed Nv Wan back to the apse of the city lord's palace and lay on their bed to rest. After a busy day, it was time to take a rest. When people meditate and sleep, their magic power will accelerate. recover.

After a night of silence, he got up early the next morning. Zhang Lu was about to go to the agreed place to meet, but Wen Zhong came over.

"Lord, there is an emergency. Hailin City's aristocratic families rebelled because they were dissatisfied with the tax policy and incited a large number of people to take to the streets. Tu Xingsun has gone to suppress them, but I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress those aristocratic families."

His meaning was very clear. Zhang Lu could not leave. He or one of Zhang Lu had to go to Hailin City. Otherwise, Tu Xingsun would throw a rat-proof weapon and it would be difficult to suppress the rebellion without hurting the people.

Zhang Lu frowned. Hailin City is indeed a problem. Since Wang Jiang cannot be too far away from the underworld to reach Hailin City, the city has been cleaned to the lowest extent because they cannot grasp what is with the outside world. A family with collusion of forces.

This time they did not simply rebel. They also incited the people to riot. Even if they suppressed them violently, they couldn't kill all the people together.

"Hou Yi, Long Yi, and Sun Wukong, the three of you should enter the portal together. Hou Yi will lead the team to help them obtain territory upgrade materials. I need to go to Hailin City."

He made a decision. This kind of thing needs to be done in person to be most effective. Besides, his speed is much faster than that of Wen Zhong. Although he does not have the ground technique, he has a somersault that is faster than the ground technique. cloud!

"Yes! Lord Lord!"

Hou Yi and the other three saluted him before turning around and walking into the portal.

Among the three of them, Hou Yi was the most stable, so Zhang Lu let Hou Yi take the lead and would not act impulsively.

After they left, Zhang Lu said to Wen Zhong: "I will go to Hailin City to solve the problem, and I will leave it to you."

Wen Zhong immediately saluted and said that he would do his best. It was a blessing for Zhang Lu to trust him so much. If King Shang could also trust him so much, the outcome might be different.

But now he is not a minister of King Shang, but a subordinate of Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu is still the kind of leader who sees everything but rarely interferes.

Zhang Lu can delegate power to his subordinates, but the prerequisite is that these subordinates must consciously report to him. They must not tell him until the whole thing is done or simply hide it from him. This kind of leader is the favorite of loyal ministers. .

Somersault Cloud's speed is very fast. With Zhang Lu's current mana, it only takes a few minutes to get from Newland City to Hailin City.

When he arrived here, the people crowded the main road and all walks of life were unable to operate normally. A group of aristocratic families were confronting the army led by Tu Xingsun in front.

The leader of the family was an old man. He shouted loudly: "We need to meet with the lord. The exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes he set have made it difficult for the people to live. He also uses strong methods to suppress us and cannot speak. There is no freedom of speech at all. If you don't give us an explanation today." , then rebel against him and return to the embrace of Huang Guo!"

The people behind him immediately shouted: "Yes, that's right!"

"There are too many taxes!"

"These taxes are not as good as being in Huang Country!"

"How can we pay so much tax?"

Zhang Lu frowned in the air. These people were obviously led astray by the aristocratic family. There were indeed a lot of taxes in his territory, but they were basically collected according to the proportion of income. There were indeed many types of taxes that the people had to pay, but it was necessary The total amount of taxes paid is much less than before.

On the contrary, these aristocratic families have high incomes. With so many taxes, the taxes they need to pay are much higher than before. This is the reason for their dissatisfaction.
