I built a fairy city in troubled times

30 Allegiance
Xicheng today is different from the last time the Li family came.

Not only is farmland spread all over, but also a large number of courtyards are built, arranged in an orderly manner, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

It is close to the mountain pass and is also where crossbowmen and infantry are stationed. Soldiers come out to practice every day.

Listening to these voices can make people feel more secure.

Zheng Tong has lived here for more than half a month and has a certain understanding of this deserted city.

Although the people in the Hou Mansion are worried about him and cannot go too far, so he does not know how the city is developing further away, but in his opinion, the west of the city is already a paradise on earth compared to the troubled times outside. .

During this time, he developed a habit of chatting with different farmers nearby, and when he was interested, he would go to work in the fields himself.

Today he came again, but he walked further than yesterday. He changed out of his silk clothes and stood beside the field in a cloth robe. He looked at the old farmer who was planting rice and said, "Brother, can your family have enough to eat?"

The old man who was working turned around and glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? Can you still have enough to eat in the Marquis's fief? Even the laziest two dogs in the village have something to eat. You Are you scolding me?"

The old man's rude rebuke did not make Zheng Tong feel dissatisfied. Instead, he smiled happily, with wrinkles all over his face.

"Brother, you don't know. I just came to our place and didn't know the situation in Huangcheng. That's why I asked you this question. When you say that, I feel relieved. How many acres of land do you have at home?"

After hearing Zheng Tong's explanation, the old man's face became brighter, "My family of five has cultivated more than 30 acres of land in one year. We are not the most diligent in the village, but we have harvested nearly one hundred shi this year." After paying for the food, apart from the food tax, I still have more than 70 shi left at home, which is enough to eat, but there is still a lot leftover.

Occasionally, you can eat meat, so you are at the right place. Our Lord Marquis in Huangcheng is the best good man in the world. There is no one who doesn’t have enough to eat here! "

When the old farmer talked about the deserted city, his eyes lit up and he looked very energetic.

At this time, Zheng Tong also completely believed that this place was different from the outside.

In half a month, he met dozens of farmers, almost every family.

Besides, there is no need for people to lie to themselves.

Then, he asked with some curiosity, "Is every family in this deserted city living like your family?"

"Hey, I don't like how you look like you've never seen the world. Who doesn't know that in the entire deserted city, the west side of the city is the only one that has been developed, and it's also the poorest!"

The old farmer said angrily, obviously regretting that he came late.

However, he immediately said cautiously, "Who are you? I don't think you are a farmer. You wander around here every day and ask questions here and there. Could you be someone sent from outside?"

When he said this, all the muscles in his body were already tense.

Even though he is an old man, since Xia Ming popularized the technique, even if he is not comparable to young people, his cultivation level is still in the early stage of body tempering.

Swinging his arms out, he still has the strength of two to three hundred kilograms.

"Brother, I misunderstood. I am your Marquis's guest, and I am not here to spy on the news. Don't worry!" Zheng Tong quickly explained that he did not bring any bodyguards, and he was really worried that the old man would give him a hoe.

If it was in the past, death would be death. He had already given up on the court and always said that there was no use keeping such a stinky skin.

But things were different now, he saw hope.

Everything in the deserted city made him feel full of vitality, making his dead heart come alive.

Such a great city must leave its own traces.

Moreover, he has not yet seen the more prosperous scene in the deserted city that others said.

And when the two sides were confronting each other.

Xia Ming also came with people.

He just came to the field and looked at such a scene, even he couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, the majestic Imperial City Academy offering wine would one day confront the old farmer.

At this time, the old man was frightened by the scene in the scene, and he quickly knelt down on the ground, "I have met Lord Marquis, I have met Master Baili!"

When he first entered Huangcheng, he had seen Xia Ming and Baili Zhe from a distance, so he naturally knew them.

"Don't be too polite. The ground is cold. Don't keep kneeling!"

Xia Ming said.

Then, he looked at Mr. Zheng and bowed, "I have met the old man. He has been in seclusion some time ago, so he failed to get the news in time. It is really a neglect!"

"Don't be like this. In the past few days, you have opened my eyes to the old man. Your father has a good son!"

As he spoke, Zheng Tong's face turned serious, "Maybe you can let me go to other places in the city to see?"

At this time, although he already knew a little about Huangcheng, he still wanted to see if it was really as prosperous as the old farmer said.

"It's all right!" Xia Ming said with a smile.

Now that he has decided to keep this old man, there is nothing he cannot see.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Baili Zhe and said, "Get a carriage ready!"

Then, he helped Zheng Tong and walked outside the field.

When they came to the road, a carriage had been parked. After helping Zheng Tong up, Xia Ming got into it.

Baili Zhe drove the carriage forward, heading towards the bustling part of the city.

After walking for more than an hour, we finally arrived at the center of the city. The car curtains were opened. Zheng Tong looked at the endless courtyards, spacious streets, people in colorful clothes, and countless shops. He felt like he was It's like a dream. "How do these people live?" Zheng Tong asked his own question.

"Some farm their own land, some are engaged in business, and some work in salt farms, breeding farms, and iron forging yards. They receive generous remuneration every month, which is enough for the family to live a good life!" Xia Ming said proudly.

Zheng Tong nodded, with a look of hope on his face. If all the people could live like the people in the deserted city, he would be willing to return to the west now.

Then, someone actually stopped the carriage, grabbed the pedestrians on the side of the road again, and started questioning mode.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that I got on the carriage without feeling satisfied.

As the sky gradually darkened, the car also headed towards the Hou Mansion. The deserted city was too big to be completed in one day. However, at this time, Zheng Tong discovered something that surprised him even more: "You are here. No curfew?”

"Haha, the people have been busy all day, so naturally they need to relax at night. Otherwise, it would be boring to just work every day!"

Zheng Tong nodded in agreement.

Then, the carriage arrived outside the Hou Mansion.

Xia Ming was about to help Zheng, but was seriously rejected by the other party.

Then, I saw the old man getting out of the car tremblingly. After adjusting his clothes, he knelt down in front of Xia Ming.

"Please take me under my lord's care. From now on, I, the Zheng family, are willing to be driven by my lord and be loyal to my lord!"

The current situation of the Huangcheng Hou Mansion was unknown to the outside world. In the eyes of this old man, it was already in his own line. It was only a matter of time before he turned against the imperial court, so he made a prompt decision and chose to be loyal to Xia Ming.

It was not because of anything else, just because the other party allowed hundreds of thousands of people in Huangcheng to live a life that he had never imagined in the past.

"Old man, please get up quickly. If you are willing to stay in Huangcheng, our Marquis Mansion will be in full bloom!" Xia Ming hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Originally, he was thinking about how to persuade the other party to stay in Huangcheng. After all, facing this person, ordinary methods would not work. He did not expect that Zheng Tong actually said that he wanted to stay.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Then, he pulled the old man and walked towards the Hou Mansion.

At the same time, a strange light flashed in his eyes, wanting to see the old man's data.

[Name: Zheng Tong]

[Favorability: 91% (the host is the holder of Zheng Tong’s faith, and he is willing to die for the host)]

[Skill: None]

【Repair: None】

[Fate: Red (a capable minister in governing the world)]

[Talent: 66 (Spiritual Level (Under the posture)]

Xia Ming looked at the data with joy in his eyes, but it was a pity that this old man's powerful talent had never been cultivated.

But when you come to Huangcheng, you must practice. At least you can extend your longevity.

Then, someone helped Zheng Tong and continued towards the mansion.

Red Fate, this is his second Red Fate subordinate, and he doesn’t know what kind of rewards it will bring.

At the same time, outside the Huangcheng Mountain Pass.

A dozen figures in black stood, blending into the night, staring at the deserted city gate in the distance, which was guarded by the soldiers of the Hou Mansion.

Dozens of corpses were piled up in the grass behind these people. The dead were all refugees who had come to seek refuge in the deserted city.

The man in black at the head was holding a bloody long knife. Blood dripped down the tip of the knife and fell to the ground. It was obvious that the refugees were killed by him. The aura on their bodies was revealed, and they might have reached the Gang Qi realm.

He is a disciple of the Song family, named Song Fei, and is also a captain of the Song family's Blood Sword Guard.

The dozen or so people following him were actually elites in the Bone Forging Realm, and three of them had even reached the True Yuan Realm.

The long knife in the palm of his hand was also blood-colored.

It is said that the Song family has trained a large number of dead soldiers, and the Blood Sword Guards are the best among them. They are powerful and ruthless, and they will never leave anyone alive.

Specifically for the Song family to deal with opponents secretly.

It has a great reputation in Daqian.

The purpose of coming here this time is to deal with Xia Ming. Because of the relationship with the Blood Letter Camp, a large group of people will definitely not be able to do it. Not to mention other things, no one is willing to have an army enter someone else's territory.

So sending someone to assassinate him is the best option.

"According to my information, the strongest person in the Huangcheng Hou Mansion should be a man named Zhang Mu. His cultivation is in the True Yuan realm. After entering, fight quickly and make sure no one is left alive!" Song Fei's voice sounded.

Very cold and stern, showing absolute confidence, but he didn't know that the news he got a few days ago was that when Xia Ming first arrived in Huangcheng two years ago, the strength of the Hou Mansion was not what it is now.

The dead soldier behind immediately said, "Yes!"

Then, Sein Fei flew out, and the people behind him followed closely, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
