The Book of Troubled Times

Shi Wuding reckoned, after all, he couldn't capture Lei Zhentang or Wang Daozhong before the opponent's soldiers and horses encircled him, and even a quick kill was already very difficult.

He made a decisive decision and quickly evacuated. Before leaving, he stared at Wang Daozhong with fierce and fierce eyes, almost wanting to bite off a piece of his flesh.

Zhao Changhe is blowing like the wind, and the one who is responsible for it is Lao Wang. If you want to bite, you can bite. It has nothing to do with me, Zhao Changhe...

In front of him, Lei Zhentang covered the wound where the sword qi was raging, and stepped forward with great difficulty: "Thank you, Wang..."

Before he could finish his sentence, "Wang Daozhong" raised his sword again and pierced viciously into his other rib: "Wang has obsessive-compulsive disorder, please help me to be more symmetrical. You are welcome."

While everyone in Heimiao was stunned, Wang Daozhong ran away from the other side of Shi Wuding.

Hei Miao soldiers rushed to the front: "Patriarch, which side are you chasing? Patriarch, patriarch? Save the patriarch!"

Zhao Changhe wanted to kill Lei Zhentang, but he was worried that the book of troubled times didn't know how to report it, would it be reported to Wang Daozhong or Zhao Changhe? It is said that Suzaku Xuanwu is the vest of the newspaper, and so is Xue Xiaoyingshuang. If he chooses a fake name, it may be listed under a fake name... But Wang Daozhong belongs to a real person who is already on the list, how is this counted? If Zhao Changhe was really reported, he would all collapse.

After hesitating for a moment, he could only injure but not kill. Anyway, the seriously injured Lei Zhentang might not be able to cause much trouble...

That is to say, Lao Wang has offended everyone to the bottom of his heart, and hopes that he will not enter Miaojiang in his life.

…………

Hei Miao wanted to rebel, but the leader was seriously injured before he left the army. Outsiders don't know how to fight for power internally.

It can be seen from the surface that the resolution of "expelling but not killing" the Xia people agreed upon by the five clans will not be implemented so honestly, at least within the sphere of influence of Heimiao, and most of them will use the excuse of "resistance" There was a massacre, but at this moment, Hei Miao was in a mess, and no one cared about this matter.

However, this matter has already started to be implemented on a large scale. Including the Bai Yao and other clans, all the Xia people within the range will be expelled, regardless of whether they are business travelers or those who have taken root here for a long time. This is better, how many haters of the Xia people really started to kill, anyway, the law does not blame the public, and the five clans will really trouble us?

For a time, the Xia people in Miaojiang were gloomy, and there were not a few families whose families were broken.

Xia people have changed their local costumes one after another, escaped from places where people would recognize familiar faces, and changed places to live, but where would they go for a while? Under the consensus of a hundred ethnic groups, no matter where you go, you will not be able to survive if you are recognized!

Really leave Miaojiang? There are old and young and there are young ones here, and the journey that even the middle-aged men have to trek to complain of hardships can kill the family members, young and old.

Just when there was nothing going on, a gossip quickly spread around the Erhai Lake through Li Si'an's caravan in Miaojiang, and then radiated to distant places from the surrounding area:

Among the five clans, only the Spirit Race speaks on the side of the Xia people, and is willing to accept and bless the Xia people, as long as you claim to be from the Spirit Race in the past, abide by the rules of the Spirit Race, and obey the management of the Saintess of the Spirit Race That's it. Nowadays, many Xia people live together near Xizhou Town, forming a new village and town named Taoyuan Town. As long as you go there, you will be the Taoyuan of the Xia people in Miaojiang.

Hei Miao didn't have time to take care of this matter, although the Bai and Yao people hated the Xia people, it didn't go to this point, and seeing many Xia people being killed was a bit unbearable, so they turned their eyes and closed their eyes and let Sisi protect them.

Unknowingly, the Spirit Race with hundreds of people exploded, turned into thousands, and then broke through tens of thousands, and some people trekked from other distant areas.

——Miaojiang is very big, big enough to become a rather large country, and Dali and the surrounding areas of Erhai Lake are just a small core area. Although the overall population is sparse and the total number of people is not large, and two of them are scattered in various places on weekdays, there is almost no sense of presence, but if they can be gathered together, it will actually be a bit overwhelming.

In fact, the slightly sensitive patriarchs also realized that this is a good opportunity to absorb the growth of power, but because of the missed opportunity, Xia people only recognize the spirit race, and no one dares to entrust the whole family to other races, resulting in Pan Wan and others also wanted to attract Xia people but had little effect. They watched a large number of Xia people flee to Taoyuan, and even the Xia people within their own range fled.

They obviously didn't bully them, but they couldn't keep them... Now that the initial expulsion had already started, the Xia people didn't trust her anymore.

Dao Qingfeng, Pan Wan and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little appalled by this situation. They don't even know who the most powerful ethnic group in Miaojiang will be after this storm passes... But now, they find that they are powerless to contain this torrent.

The general trend is like a tide, irreversible.

This general trend was initiated by themselves, and nothing will happen unless they are expelled... This is a terrifying force that they have forced out.

"Don't panic for now." Pan Wan said to the worried Dao Qingfeng: "There are so many people who have to eat, and the Spirit Race has to find a way to make them live and work."

Miaojiang is no better than the Central Plains. Although there are good fields, the current development is not enough. There are poisonous forests everywhere, and there are many pastures in the plains. Now it is not the time for farming, and it is too late to open up wasteland. Most of the Xia people here are left by businessmen, and there are also craftsmen and martial arts gyms. Generally speaking, they are basically unable to supply food output. There are so many people, it is impossible to support them.

Lei Ao from Heimiao heard the news, and also sneered: "The little girl knows nothing, she just has a pretty face...well, she has feet... Anyway, she has no brains. I'll just wait and see how her so-called Taoyuan is messed up. Backfire on itself."

However, what is surprising is that it is full May, and the population of Taoyuan is more and more, but there is no chaos at all.

On the contrary, Sisi also made countless extra money, and began to organize manpower to start reclamation. It is estimated that she will be truly self-sufficient next year.

Even with Xia Ren craftsmen, they began to forge their own weapons and armor.

All ethnic groups were stunned, and sent people to inquire one after another, and the information they got was even more inexplicable: Sisi really took out countless grains, as if they were conjured up.

Grain is not given away for free. People in Xia basically have money on hand, so they can just buy food at the normal market price, which inexplicably makes Sisi suddenly rich, and the place is still very stable.

Where does this food come from?

Of course, it was the food that Sisi brought from the back of the ancient spirit secret realm. The ancient spirit secret realm refused to come out in full, but there was no objection to doing some trade. The output of a single secret realm is obviously not rich enough, and it is normal to do business with others. . The weather in the secret realm is smooth, and there has never been any natural disasters to speak of. Although the food storage is not too much, it is still possible to use some of it for trade, just to tide over this urgent need.

At the same time, Li Si'an's caravan also went back. Jingxiang had already resumed production, and the food shortage was no longer so severe, and Jingnan also had a path leading to this place. The next trip will happen to be the autumn harvest, and the next trip will be a large-scale grain exchange.

After the land reclamation is completed, it won't take long to completely enter the positive cycle.

As the news spread, there were other chain reactions.

Sisi said before that she can win not only the Xia people, but also many people who don't know how to count the clan. Hearing that this place is stable, there are countless people who come here to seek refuge and naturalization. Those who consider themselves Eldar...

Although there may be some spies... In short, this force is about to become a real big clan force that is visible to the naked eye...

These days, Sisi is so busy that she has no time to sell burns with Zhao Changhe, and Zhao Changhe basically didn't interfere with these matters, he is not good at internal affairs at all, so it is useless to intervene.

He was concerned about another thing: Shi Wuding after falling out with Lei Zhentang, where did he go now, and what was he planning?

On the surface, the damage that these swordsmen can cause is far less than that of Lei Zhentang, but Zhao Changhe dare not underestimate the sixth place on the list.

He didn't think that Shiwudingju faction moved to Miaojiang purely for the purpose of cooperating with Heimiao...how could there be such a hard-working cooperation. Even if it is because of practicing sword slavery and fear of being recognized by others, it may not be necessary to move the faction, as long as those who practice sword slavery are separated, a small number of people can come to Miaojiang.

The reason why the Jupai came here must have other intentions. The merging with Heimiao is just one of the two things that kill multiple birds with one stone, so it doesn't have much impact if you turn your back on it.

In the previous contact, I didn't see a large number of Jianhu disciples. It can be seen that they have already taken root here. What are they doing?

Taking advantage of the skyrocketing power of the Spirit Race and the availability of more masters, Zhao Changhe organized a group of warriors from the Xia people to search for the whereabouts of the "White Swordsman".

When Sisi gradually stabilized the internal affairs, Zhao Changhe also received news about Shi Wuding.

"Si protector, people who escaped from Lijiang a few days ago said that they saw a large number of white-clothed swordsmen on the side of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain."

Zhao Changhe, who was practicing swordsmanship with Yue Hongling, withdrew his sword, and the couple looked at each other, Zhao Changhe said: "There must be a plan, if you don't understand this matter, the destructive power may not be inferior to that of the Heimiao Rebellion .”

Yue Hongling said: "But we are not the opponents of Shi Wushang... What's your idea? It seems unrealistic for Sisi to go to the snow-capped mountains?"

"It's not realistic, but it still depends on Sisi."

"...Is this why you went to the door in Sisi's busy schedule a few days ago?"

Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "I'm looking for her for business..."

"What's up?"

"In the past, she did something wrong to a certain senior. Although the senior forgave her generously, she had no face to return. This time she saved so many Xia people. Although the senior may not care about such things, it is her It is a good step to present a gift and admit her mistake, I suggest that she send an envoy to confess her mistake to the senior, and at the same time ask the senior to do a little favor."

Yue Hongling squinted at him for a while: "You have many secrets, I don't even know..."

"What? In fact, the senior has come here quietly. I had a lot of fun drinking and drinking in the town recently."

"Which senior? There are not many people who can beat the timeless..."

"But I feel that Shi Wuding is going to be unlucky... Especially when he is doing things in hiding, it seems to be a treasure. This senior is very interested in this kind of thing."
