Chapter 171 War resumes
Days passed, and the residents of Yongze City lived a stable life every day.
Since Lu Ya returned to Yongze City, in just two months, the population of Yongze City has more than quintupled.
The team of monks has also been greatly strengthened.
But once there are too many people, various problems will arise one after another.
Now the city guard monks in Yongze City have been expanded three times, and now they are a group with 500 regular monks.
Their daily task is to be responsible for the order and security in the city. This kind of work has always been somewhat thankless.
For example, if you encounter a foundation-building monk, if members of the city guard try to stop him, you will face the risk of death.
Correspondingly, they are not only able to rent a house of their own on the mountainside and enjoy the rich aura that is much higher than the foot of the mountain, but also because the monthly fixed spiritual stone salary is quite generous.
Without these conditions, the city guard would have been in disarray, existing in name only.
The sun was shining brightly today and there were no clouds in the sky, but the city guard at the gate of Yongze City looked at the beggar in front of him like a madman with an ugly expression.
The beggar was unkempt and his true appearance could not be seen. Only a long goatee was exposed.
At this time, he was rolling on the ground like a dehydrated loach, and he was still shouting from time to time: "They are killing again, run away, run away!"
The captain of the city guard looked at the beggar in front of him, and finally couldn't help it. He waved his hand, and the four city guards beside him immediately rushed out and tied him up in just a few breaths.
But even though he was tied up and couldn't move, the goatee beggar kept shouting that repeated sentence.
"Stop his mouth for me. I am very upset." The captain of the city guard pointed at the beggar's chattering mouth and ordered.
After plugging the beggar's mouth with a sock that came from nowhere, a few people started chatting.
"I don't know where this lunatic came from. He actually said that we in Yongze City must escape for our lives."
"He doesn't know that our Yongze City is protected by the city lord. Even if the Jindan Demon King comes to attack, he will fall outside the city. Even if there is a fight, it has nothing to do with our Yongze City."
"That's right, the battlefield is still in the Yinkui Mountains, which is still far away from here."
"Forget it, just hand him over to the adults above and do the rest of your business."
"After a good middle stage of Qi training, I can actually become like this."
The few people talked to each other and pushed the beggar towards the top of the mountain.
After burning the incense, Lu Ya received the summons, his eyes widened slightly, and then he quickly walked out of the quiet room and walked towards the main hall of the city lord's palace.
By the time Lu Ya arrived, there were already many foundation-building monks sitting here.
In the center of the mansion, there was a middle-stage Qi-training monk who was tied up like a beggar.
At this time, he made a "wuwu" sound in his mouth, his eyes couldn't stop turning white, and he looked like he was about to faint.
A piece of black cloth of unknown purpose was stuffed in his mouth.
It was this piece of black cloth that allowed the beggar to be quiet for a while.
Lu Ya looked at Lu Dingbo, who sent a message: "Lu Ya, this man just showed up today, and he kept talking and started fighting again. Let's run away."
"Can the authenticity of the source be confirmed?"
Lu Dingbo nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Li has used enchantment methods on him to ensure that these words have passed the test."
"Understood."
Lu Ya nodded solemnly and looked at the beggar with a different look.
If he goes by what he said, then the Yinkui Mountain Range must be in fighting again at this moment, and it is not known whether this war will have a winner or loser.
After waiting for another half-quarter of an hour, when no one entered again, Lu Dingbo stood up and looked at the fourteen foundation builders present.
"Everyone, according to what this person said, the war has been started again. Whether you are going or staying, I, Yongze City, will not interfere. Those who are going will be allowed to leave, and those who are staying will work together."
After Lu Dingbo told the news about the resumption of war, the first thing he said was to determine the fate of the forces in the city.
Like the Lu family, Li family, and the previous group of foundation-building monks who had seen Lu Ya's golden elixir, they all sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not wavering at all because of Lu Dingbo's words.
On the contrary, the five foundation-building monks who joined later. After some eye contact with each other, a middle-aged beautiful woman foundation-building monk finally asked: "City Lord Lu, if you leave, can you come back later?"
Everyone looked at her with a smile but not a smile. Seeing that she was getting embarrassed, Lu Dingbo shook his head and said, "First of all, I am not the city lord. The city lord is there."
Following Lu Dingbo's eyes, the middle-aged beautiful woman turned around and saw Lu Ya with a serious face.
"Secondly, after leaving, we will have nothing to do with our Yongze City. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in heaven.
If you want to leave, you can leave now. Next, we in Yongze City are going to talk about some secret topics. Mrs. Yao, do you understand? "
The beautiful middle-aged woman known as "Mrs. Yao" nodded when she heard this, her eyes flashing as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing that no one was leaving, Lu Dingbo nodded and spoke again:
"According to the intelligence, this war between humans and monsters should be aimed at completely defeating the opponent.
Once the demon clan wins, we will evacuate immediately. If the human race wins, everything will remain as usual. "
The current response from the spies I have assigned is that in the center of the Yinkui Mountains, the human coalition forces have begun to gather after recuperation. Small-scale frictions with the demon tribe continue, and they will soon enter the era of all-out war. "
"Because it is wartime, from now on, everyone will be unified into the city guard, and will be uniformly distributed by the city lord. Who is in favor and who is against?"
After Lu Dingbo looked around, he was about to say something when he heard a very powerful "I object!"
I saw a man who was a casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation building who had just joined Yongze City. At this moment, he slapped the armrest of the chair and stood upright in front of the chair like a javelin.
He cupped his hands in all directions and said: "I am not talented, so I dare to ask. If I read it correctly, City Lord Lu should be in the middle stage of foundation building."
"Fellow Daoist Bucai, you read that right. I am indeed in the middle stage of foundation building."
Lu Ya looked at the late-stage foundation-building male cultivator who raised objections with interest and replied casually.
Lu Ya's title made the man stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly realized and said with a distorted face: "My name is not Bucai, my name is Du Zhaodong."
"Well, Fellow Daoist Du, I, Lu, am indeed in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment."
After getting Lu Ya's personal admission, Du Zhaodong's eyes showed a trace of a proud smile.
Li's and Lu's faces were surprised. They were surprised that Lu Ya's cultivation speed was too exaggerated. At the same time, they looked happy. Even the news of the resumption of war could not be diluted in the slightest.
