Chapter 715 War in the Western Regions

Chapter 240 Four Battles in the Western Regions
Xiao Yuanfeng looked at the yellow sand all over the sky, and also fell into deep worry.The people of this city-state have suffered too much torture, and too many innocent people have paid their lives for it. He will never forget the group of believers who are full of teachings. Compared with these brutal horse thieves, at least the horse thieves themselves are not hypocritical.

On the contrary, it was the guys who preached the teachings, saying one thing and doing another, which dragged the originally prosperous Loulan state into the quagmire of war.

Loulan State is considered to be a relatively small city-state among the Western Regions. With Loulan City as its capital, its land area is [-] miles in radius.People who live here, farmers do not need to pay taxes, they only need to participate in city-state corvee regularly, while business people need to pay taxes, and the taxes are not very high.

This kind of policy of surviving the people made the people of Loulan Kingdom very rich. Since the poor did not need to pay taxes, there would be no tragic scenes of starvation everywhere, and the public security in the city would be much better accordingly.As for businessmen, they don't care about the little tax. Besides, they can't be exempted from tax when going to other city-states. On the contrary, the excellent security level attracts a large number of traveling merchants.

Due to the tight supply of goods, merchants in the Western Regions have never lacked high profits since ancient times. In other words, if there is no guarantee of high profits, who would brave sandstorms, horse thieves, and wars to come here to do business?

It is precisely because of the policy orientation of the Loulan city-state that many large-scale traveling merchants from the Western Regions have gathered here, which is also a place that makes many forces jealous.

So three years ago, a group of strangely dressed people came to Loulan City.

They are dressed in exquisite leather armor with various metal decorations on them. These people have gold rings on their ears and noses, or even more than one, and some people have gold rings on their tongues.

Loulan City can accept these 'extraordinary costumes', as long as they are not naked, they can enter the city-state, but this group of people obviously has a purpose.

They first settled in the city as "doctors", and then began to treat the people in the city for free. This kind of good deed was naturally welcomed.Xiao Yuanfeng at that time also met the leader, a young man with a rigid expression.

Xiao Yuanfeng vaguely remembered that the person had a rigid expression, if the two of them hadn't exchanged a few words of pleasantries, he would have even thought that the other person was an immobile dead body.What impressed him the most was that the young man had twelve gold rings on his ears, which looked very eye-catching.

Later, this group of people began to promote their own teachings and encouraged the people to practice the so-called "Longevity Formula". They even brought their families and children to participate and received free rice and noodles.

The countries in the Western Regions were short of supplies, but fortunately, Loulan was considered a city-state with rich people, so except for being robbed by a group of people at the very beginning, most people still maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

At that time, Xiao Yuanfeng had already sensed that something was wrong, so he started to investigate the details of this group of people, and what shocked Loulan's senior management was that no matter how many spies they sent, none of them reported back.

In the end, Xiao Yuanfeng had no choice but to let these spies work carefully, reporting their whereabouts three times a day.In the end, it was discovered that once these people locked the news to the Demon Kingdom in the east, they lost contact.All the spies who could have anything to do with the Demon Kingdom disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Yuanfeng finally realized the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately ordered to expel this group of "strangely dressed" believers!

It was also this order that successfully tore off the last fig leaf!Sure enough, this group of guys did not leave Loulan Kingdom honestly, but attacked the soldiers who were going to expel them, and even occupied four turrets in the city, and then launched an evil "array"!
It turns out that the "Longevity Formula" that this group of people taught to the common people is not a formula for health and fitness at all, but a sacrificial formula. In his body, under the activation of the formation, the true essence lurking in the sea of ​​consciousness and soul instantly impacted this group of people who had no practice experience at all, and they began to attack the people around them aimlessly.

Either biting, scratching, or even holding sharp knives, the whole Loulan City fell into panic for a while, and the crazy people all over the city kept attacking the innocent people who fled in all directions.Those soldiers and guards are no longer enough to maintain order.

Recalling this scene, Xiao Yuanfeng still felt chills down her spine. If she was forced to find one word to describe the scene at that time, it would be "purgatory on earth".

…………Dividing line…………

Wu Li noticed that Xiao Yuanfeng was in a daze and did not disturb him, so he took Lin Fenghuo and Lin Lei back to the back room.As she just said, this sandstorm is not a threat to warriors like them.But no one is too far from being exposed to sandstorms for long, especially a teenage girl like her.

"City Master Xiao seems to have something on his mind!" Lin Fenghuo picked up his wine bag, unscrewed the stopper and took a sip.

"Yes, the tragedy three years ago left an indelible mark on every Loulan person." Having said that, Wu Li paused, then looked at Lin Fenghuo and continued: "So, don't blame them for not I understand etiquette, but... just, I'm afraid."

It turned out that Lin Fenghuo and others successfully escorted Xiao Yuanfeng back to Loulan City a few days ago. You must know that this time they also brought a "bronze statue", which was originally placed in the courtyard of Xiaoyuan Academy. The bronze statues of 72 saints golden body.

Although it was only one of them, it was extremely important both in terms of weight and practical significance. Naturally, Lin Fenghuo and Linley did not dare to neglect it.But just after they entered Loulan City, to their surprise, they did not receive welcome and praise, and even suffered the indifference of the people of Loulan Kingdom.

However, Wu Li talked a lot to the two of them along the way, so naturally he had told them about this kind of thing in advance, so there was no misunderstanding in the end.Linley was very angry at the indifference of these Loulan people, but Lin Fenghuo persuaded him. After all, after putting himself in another place, after going through such a great ordeal, it is indeed very difficult to convince them of other people. Even if they want to recover, they have to A buffer of several years is required.

While the three were discussing in the inner room, a horn sounded from the south gate.

Wu Li was very sensitive to this kind of signal. The moment she heard the sound of the trumpet, she jumped up and disappeared from the room the next moment.

"Don't be nervous, let's see how they deal with it first. After all, wars are different from battles between ordinary warriors. Sometimes we join in rashly and cause trouble for others." Lin Fenghuo said in a low voice.

Linley next to him grinned, nodded lightly, and said, "I understand the truth, but what really keeps me from rushing to take action is that there should be decent martial arts experts among the horse thieves, right?"
