Those who benefit Tai Cang are worthy of her gratitude, and those who make Tai Cang prosper are worthy of her trust from the bottom of her heart.
Ji Xia looked around for a long time and confirmed that there were no treasures worth noting. Only then did Ji Qianqing and Po Xian jump out of the treasury and told Ronglu to lead more than ten silver guards to the treasury to take everything away. .
After that, he gave more than ten detailed locations and ordered Meng Yan to lead people to search.
After a while, Ronglu put all the treasures in the treasury into five burdens, and the five ministers personally carried them.
The cultivation realm of these Ming Qing has broken through to the seventh heaven, the spirit energy is running, and the power is amazing.
Each burden is several times larger than their body, but for them, it is not an unbearable burden.
"Is there no horses in this world?" Ji Xia couldn't help but wonder: "Even if the sergeants here can run faster than horses and have more energy and strength than horses, horses are still useful if they are occasionally used for hauling things. "
He thought for a while, and said to himself, "Maybe there were horses in the past, maybe they died out in the long silence of the sun."
The beasts born in the boundless wilderness will eventually become extinct as long as they cannot adapt to the loneliness of the sun.
After another cup of tea time, Meng Yan also came back, holding a box in his hand, his face was still so serious and so decent.
"The lord of the country is simply amazing. The minister followed the location stated by the lord to find it. Sure enough, he found a lot of precious things, and even had more than [-] spirit crystals."
Ji Xia said with a smile: "Is General Meng so righteous and awe-inspiring even when he is flattering?"
Meng Yan bowed and saluted and stepped aside.
Ji Xia straightened his expression and ordered: "Take these treasures, bring the body of the dove dog king, cut off the head of the dove dog tribal leader and the dove dog royal blood, and install it, we will return to Tai Cang."
The crowd immediately saluted and shouted, "Yes, the king."
Ji Xia walked outside the palace, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Meng Yan: "Since all the dove dog royal family are dead, then I don't think there is any need for this palace to exist, let's burn it."
Meng Yan took orders with a serious face, turned around and mobilized more than ten silver guards, lit some torches from the lamps in the palace, and quickly went to various places in the palace.
The grim smile on his face proved that he liked the job very much.
Chapter 63 Old Man Biwu
One month before the dead sun, the early morning in Taicheng is always very quiet, because many people have nothing to do at this time.
Except for workers who routinely repair river embankments and city walls; officials and clerks who are open all year round; military members who work daily and practice daily, almost everyone else lives at home. After all, the third season is over However, most of the Taicang people who are engaged in agriculture no longer need to worry about the planting, harvesting and storage of food.
The usually sparsely populated city gate is extremely lively today, because last night, the pioneer army returned to Tai Cang to report that the lord of the country's battle against the doves and dogs had already achieved results, and the silver guard set off to return to the country.
Considering the dangers of marching at night, all of them were temporarily stationed on the periphery of the South Forbidden Forest and could return to Taicheng early the next morning.
The royal court posted a notice all night, and it was spread by word of mouth among the Tai Cang people who got up early, and there was a grand occasion in front of the city gate.
Many people gathered in groups on the empty streets on both sides of the city gate, whispering about the contents of the announcement.
"Many Tai Cang people don't agree with the dove dog this time. After all, the dove dog country has been stronger than my Tai Cang for so long, and the lord's decision to make a decision is a bit too self-willed. "An old man with white beard and hair, dressed in a white robe, said.
The old man wears a wooden badge on his chest, roughly the size of a thumb, with a pattern of a plane tree on it, which looks special and solemn.
This wooden badge was issued by the royal court, and it was only issued to the elderly over a hundred years old. The old man with this badge was called the old Biwu in Tai Cang.
Cultivators tend to live longer than ordinary people, but in Taicang, there are still very few people who can practice cultivation. In addition, those who can cultivate in Taicang need to fight the enemy on the battlefield, which creates an embarrassing situation where there are few monks among the long-lived people.
All the long-lived people have a very high status in Tai Cang, and the old people who are over [-] years old do not have to bow when they see the king.
On the contrary, the lord of the country needs to visit the elderly with longevity on a regular basis every year to show respect.
Because in the boundless wilderness, being able to live for a hundred years not only requires a strong body, but also requires luck far beyond ordinary people.
The white-robed old man opened his mouth, and the young man beside him quickly agreed.
"What the patriarch said is that the lord of the country has unique insights in many things and has contributed a lot to me, but after all, he is a little young and it is too easy to overdo it."
"Dove dog and crocodile horn fight, we just need to watch from the sidelines and let them compete with clams and cranes. Where is it necessary to use Tai Cang Erlang's life as a bet to intervene."
"It's okay for the lord to attack Jiugou, but he only brought 2000 people! I don't know what he thought!"
"What's even more ruthless are those high-ranking officials in the royal court! The lord of the country is young and has no sense. Many of them have beards as long as the grandfather Biwu in the clan, but the lord is also making fun of it!"
The scene became a bit strange, and suddenly it turned into a denunciation meeting to criticize Ji Xia's reckless actions, and it became more and more fierce, and even the royal court ministers became the object of criticism.
"But the notice clearly states that Tai Cang has won a great victory, and the Tai Cang Silver Guard has seized a lot of spoils, and there are five big burdens."
While everyone was talking, a timid voice suddenly came from the corner, and many people turned around only to find an extremely beautiful young girl holding a lamb with antlers, standing in the corner behind them.
This girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, she is slim, with crescent eyebrows, it is not an exaggeration to describe her as a top-level figure.
When the people who were refuted heard a young voice interjecting, they wanted to shout and scold, but when they saw such a young girl, they immediately dismissed such ideas.
An old man looked kind and asked the girl, "Little girl, which family do you belong to? There are many people here. Be careful to wait for the crowd to be crowded for a while, and you will be hurt."
This young girl is Jing Yu. She heard that Ji Xia had personally recruited doves and dogs, and she was worried that she could not sleep at night in just two days. This morning, she was woken up by the neighbors in Nanqing Street, saying that the country leader had returned with the army. The confused girl who likes to sleep late doesn't even want to sleep late, so she leads Huai Shuang, who is reluctant, and runs to the city gate.
Later, while waiting, I heard that many people were scolding the lord of the country. The girl was very unconvinced, and all of them timidly said this scene.
"Little girl, you don't understand national affairs. Although the notice states that I have won the Tai Cang, it doesn't say how to win. If only [-] or [-] of the [-] Tai Cang Erlang died, how could he be alive? "
"This is what we are worried about. Of course we are happy to win the battle and rob the treasure, but if these treasures were bought by my Tai Cang Erlang's life, then no matter how precious these treasures are, they will be sold at a loss."
Jing Yu opened her bright eyes. She heard everyone patiently explain to her, and she felt that this was the truth, but on the other hand, she felt that she should support the decision of the lord.
So she spoke again for the lord: "But war is inevitable. If you only worry about the dead, won't Tai Cang be bullied by other countries forever?"
The [-]-year-old Biwu old man had a smile on his old face, and explained: "What the little girl said makes sense, but this time is different from the past. In the past, Taicang's family and country were threatened by foreign enemies. It's worth it to die willingly and pay the price of the death of young people."
"Young people will die, and those of us who are old and frail, we old people will not rely on the old to sell the old and live alone, even if we don't have the strength, we have to hit those enemies with a stick, punch those enemies, and let them know that I Tai Cang has nothing but blood!"
"But this time the situation is special. The country lord took the lives of the tribe as a bet to participate in a gamble that had nothing to do with us. Although he won and looted some treasures, it must be extremely difficult to win, maybe thousands of times. A Taicang family will suffer the pain of losing their children."
The Biwu old man had deep worry in his eyes: "With all these things, do you still think it's right to go on an expedition?"
Jing Yu on the side heard that such an old man was always worried about Tai Cang, always thinking of the people of Tai Cang, and he was very impressed and moved. Even now, he thought that the decision of the lord of the country would definitely be correct, but he didn't know it. How to speak for the king.
"Of course it's worth it."
There was suddenly a lot of commotion in the crowd. Several figures moved forward in the crowd. The crowd spontaneously gave up a path for the three to come.
The three of them came, and people kept kneeling and salute, shouting: "Bless the wind, the king is safe."
Only then did Jing Yu see that the three people who came were the Lord of Tai Cang, General Ji, and a young man in green robes with extraordinary equipment.
Ji Xiaxian Tai Cang Yinwei stepped into the city, just in time to meet the discussion of the crowd, he slowly walked up to the old man, bowed a long bow with a sincere smile on his face, and asked, "Old Biwu, are you still in good health? ?"
