The three counties of Lushui, Dieshui and Yong'an have finally returned to peace. After a year of recuperation, every family has basically had enough food. No matter how rich they are, they will not suffer easily due to natural disasters.
Until a few months ago, a ninth-level warrior came to Dieshui County.
He has many subordinates, and if the evil dragons are not included among them, their strength is even stronger than the Qingjiao Gang, which was wiped out long ago.
And their approach is only a little better than the people of the Qingjiao Gang, and they will not sacrifice people at will.
Every household in the three counties has to pay more food than under the previous rule of King Jiang He, and also pay a certain amount of gold and silver treasures.
If you don't pay, you will be regarded as the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.
The people in the three counties who had finally saved a little surplus grain suddenly became poorer, even poorer than before. Those people were really plundering the grain.
It is said that a part of the grain is harvested, but when it gets down there, it is basically harvested entirely.
The people who collected the grain were still talking plausibly.
"The person who protects you now is Mr. Cheng Jiang. Only with him can you live in peace and contentment. Do you know that? You don't know how to be grateful!"
To put it simply, the three counties that the subordinates of the ninth-level warrior Cheng Jiang told the outside world were able to develop in peace and contentment because of Cheng Jiang's protection.
But actually?
The fact that the three counties can develop stably for a year is actually the remaining power of Grandmaster Zhan Jiao.
These people are just here to pick up bargains.
But not many people dared to speak out, because those who dared to speak out died.
It's them who have no taboos.
Not only that, but several neighboring counties have also been affected.
Yongfeng County, county government.
The county magistrate who originally planned to go to the three counties stayed because of Wang Sheng's appearance before, collecting ore everywhere, hoping to take it into his lap.
But instead of hugging her thighs, she received a notice, which was also a notice from the ninth-level warrior's subordinate.
"Cheng Jiang's birthday, one month later, will you contribute five elixirs? What a big appetite!"
The county magistrate naturally knows what the elixir is. You can't see even one of that kind of thing, but now he wants five.
He couldn't help but feel angry, but there was nothing he could do.
The imperial power has declined, and these official organizations have almost no prestige now because many warriors have been transferred and died.
Warriors with a little bit of strength would not take them seriously.
It is said that many colleagues have been exterminated for justice.
Fortunately, since I became an official, I have been honest and upright, no matter how well I have done, so I can still stay in peace.
But with the arrival of this letter, even stability seemed impossible.
A ninth-level warrior is a strong person close to a master.
Even if the county government's strength is not damaged, it must be well maintained.
"Lord Magistrate, what should we do now?"
The master also knew what happened last time, so he followed the magistrate unswervingly, wanting to hug him together.
Unfortunately, we are now in trouble.
"First send someone to look for elixirs in the mountains as a pretense. I don't think that person will be able to jump around for long!"
"Lord County Magistrate, you mean..." The master seemed to have some realization.
"Yes, it's that adult. Why is Cheng Jiang Gan so arrogant? Isn't it because after testing again and again, he found that the adult didn't show up? He thought that the adult was actually no longer in the three counties!
But others know it, but we still don’t know it? That adult is definitely here, but he is probably living in seclusion now, so he has not received any news.
And that adult will definitely show up, otherwise he wouldn't let us prepare iron ore. The only thing we have to do now is to wait and delay!
Once that adult is willing to take action, then the people in the three counties will really have peace of mind. "
The county magistrate saw clearly.
The power of the Grand Master will not care about the gains and losses of a few counties, especially since these counties are not important counties yet. They pay more attention to the overall situation.
Because the Grand Master forces know very well that as long as they control the overall situation, those chaotic small forces will naturally become loyal to them.
Even the Grandmaster level forces are the same.
So no matter how chaotic it is down there, as long as it doesn't affect their overall plan, they basically don't care.
This is also an important factor leading to the emergence of speculators like Cheng Jiang.
The overall situation is chaotic, and the various small situations below are even more chaotic.
Speculators are terrible in this situation.
"I just don't know when this gentleman will come back!"
The county magistrate only hopes it will happen sooner.
Five elixirs, he didn't know where to find them yet.
If he didn't show up within a month and didn't find the elixir, he would just run away.
No matter how important your thighs are, they are not more important than saving your life.
…
In this regard, Dieshui County is notified that this is also a county that has been plagued by disasters.
The headquarters of the Qingjiao Gang was here before, and now Cheng Jiang is also here.
In the final analysis, it is because this county is the most prosperous and has the best construction.
The county government office is the best real estate in Dieshui County. Cheng Jiang lives here and it is where his subordinates report news every day.
"Sir, we have collected hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, and are still collecting it. We have also collected a lot of elixirs. I don't know why, but there are so many elixirs around here. We actually found ten of them in one month. A different kind of elixir.”
After Cheng Jiang heard about the elixir, a smile appeared on his face.
There are more than ten kinds of elixirs. Sure enough, it is right to follow those forces at the Grand Master level.
Shuzhou really has great benefits.
"Continue to collect elixirs. You can have less food, but you can't have less elixirs. Do you understand?"
The elixir has a wide range of uses and has a great effect on the master. This time he wants to make enough, and then he can sell himself and make another profit.
"Yes, sir, we have written to notify the government to look for it. We must be able to get a lot of elixirs."
"Good job, anything else?"
The person who reported the report nodded and said: "My lord, because of the matter of harvesting food and the elixir, many people were dissatisfied and caused a lot of public resentment. Some people said that the master who killed the evil dragon would definitely do it. Appear to take revenge on you.”
He is Cheng Jiang's confidant, so he dares to say many things that others dare not say. What Cheng Jiang likes most about him is that he never sugarcoats information.
"Don't worry, they are just a group of ordinary people with little power. No matter what the grievances are. They have nothing to do with me. Let them die a few more people and they will be quiet. As for the grandmaster, will he be able to do anything to me when he comes?"
His subordinates stopped talking. He knew the strength of his boss.
Not a ninth-level warrior, but a true grandmaster!
Even if the dragon-slayer comes, he can still escape unscathed.
Cheng Jiang thought so himself. He had inquired about the killing of the dragon. The master who killed the evil dragon was just a surprise. Otherwise, the evil dragon would not have been killed so easily.
That person's strength may be strong, but it shouldn't be as exaggerated as rumored.
As long as I am prepared, even if I can't defeat him, my life is not a big problem.
And it’s not necessarily impossible to beat it!
He was able to reach Grandmaster and was very confident in his own strength.
At the same time, a young man with a spear appeared on the road. He had a sparrow on his shoulder and wore an iron mask.
On this day, one person was fighting for life and death in the mansion, arbitrarily deciding the life and death of ordinary people. One person took a spear and stepped into the territory of Dieshui County...
