Chapter 294: Weird City
The noise coming from the sentry box was quite loud and lasted until dawn.
Now everyone knew that General Jin Xing had finally had a good meal after many years.
With the help of Jin Xing as the mediator, the relationship between the Fourth Princess and Sanliu County became closer.
The direct benefit of obtaining Sanliu County was that Jiang Changle left the Black Dragon Guards to personally manage the workshop, which was also intended to protect Sanliu County in secret.
But others don’t know that when the Fourth Princess led the Zhou family army north, both the dynasty army and the county lords in the three or five counties could no longer sit still.
They rushed to three or five counties, some to inquire about the situation, some to get a piece of the pie, with all kinds of thoughts in mind.
The Wang Chao army was starving, and when they saw the wealthy residents of Sanliu County, they started robbing them.
He acts as if everyone else is a pariah and he is the only one who is superior.
But they didn't know that almost every household in Sanliu County now had someone working in the Jiang family workshop, which meant that the dynasty army had robbed the Jiang family workshop.
How could this be tolerated? The Black Dragon Guards immediately rushed out and shot those people in the head.
It took some deaths before those parasites realized that in Sanliu County, no citizen was easy to mess with.
There is no need for the Fourth Princess to fight back. The Black Dragon Guards who stayed behind in Sanliu County all have spiritual powers and wield machine guns. Those are the kind of heaven-defying weapons that will kill anyone who gets caught with them.
"Did you see that? If you had no connection with General Jin, there would definitely not be any Black Dragon Guards left in Sanliu County, and our Sanliu County would have been divided up by the Dynasty Army very quickly.
In this world today, only the Fourth Princess can stand up to those corrupt officials in Kyoto."
The teacher was very grateful. Fortunately, he sent the wine with added ingredients to Jinhang, and it was also thanks to County Master Yao herself, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Of course, afterwards the master confessed to Jin Xing and admitted that he had planned it.
However, Jin Xing, who benefited from it, did not bear a grudge, but was grateful to him for being a matchmaker.
County Lady Yao gently stroked her belly, where she was already pregnant with Jin Xing's child.
But she would not tell him for the time being, so as not to distract Jin Xing. After all, wherever he went was dangerous.
"Thank goodness for the teacher, and also thanks to him~" When mentioning Jin Xing, County Master Yao felt sweet.
The teacher nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly said with gloating, "Oh, Wang Chaojun is regretting it now, right?
They originally had the opportunity to submit to the Fourth Princess and enjoy elite military equipment and high food and wages, but now they have been abandoned by the Fourth Princess and are left with nothing.
That 200,000, no, after the internal strife in the dynasty army, the number was probably only 160,000 or 170,000.
In short, the situation of these people is becoming increasingly difficult, even worse than that of Zhou's army.
Weapons from Jiuer County were continuously transported in using space. Now Zhou's army had 50,000 soldiers equipped with muskets, the kind that could fire continuously, which greatly increased their strength.
Even though they were not as powerful as the Jiang family army, they were still more powerful than the Northern Kingdom army, which made Zhou Shi obey Jiang Changle's orders.
"Princess, further ahead is County 88. There, the Northern Kingdom has 500,000 soldiers, County 9 500,000, and County 10 500,000."
Jin Xing was naturally familiar with this place since he had been here before. Their army was stationed in Bayi County, and now several generals were personally approaching Bayi County to conduct an investigation.
"The Northern Army has been so quiet, it's a bit strange. They don't seem to want to rob anymore, but rather look for a place to stay temporarily."
Jiang Changle's ears and eyes are very sensitive, and she can hear the sounds in Baba County even from a long distance.
The Northern Army even spoke in low voices, as if they were afraid of alarming anyone.
Rather than fear, it would be more appropriate to say respect, worship, or piety.
"Why do I feel like I hear the voice of someone from the East?" Xuan Qing looked suspicious, and he couldn't understand why.
“The ten cities of Beiguan were occupied by the northerners long ago, and that was the territory outside the ten cities.
But the Eighth City and the Ninth City were only lost this year. There was still some buffer time when the Eighth City was invaded, and most of the citizens had fled, but no one knew where they had fled to.
The Nine Cities suffered the most. Half of the inhabitants were enslaved, 30% died, and only 20% of the orcs escaped. Some went to Kyoto, and some went south, probably to places like the Southern Nine and Second Counties.
Zhou Shi has been in Beiguan for quite some time, and he knows the situation here better than anyone else.
Jiang Changle believed that Zhou Shi would not lie, "Just go and see and you will know.
Let's just send a letter to warn the Northern Kingdom's army to withdraw from the Eastern Kingdom's territory. Otherwise, we will not only kill the four Northern Kingdom princes and generals, but also feed them with large explosives."
Bombs are very lethal the denser the population, and people die in droves. How long can the northerners resist?
No one objected to Jiang Changle's decision, and several people were scrambling to carry out the task.
"Princess, please write the documents and I will go meet the Northern Army." The Black Dragon Guard is the nemesis of the Northern Army, and Jin Xing was the first to stand up.
"I'll go too. I recently fought against the Northern Army and am quite familiar with the situation." Zhou Shi also rushed to go.
Delivering letters is actually very dangerous. He cannot always retreat behind the Black Dragon Guards, otherwise the Fourth Princess will look down on him.
"Let me go and see what's going on in Baba County." Xuan Qing could only find out the answer by going there in person.
"Okay, you can write the paperwork yourself and bring plenty of weapons. If you can figure it out, that's best. If not, don't take any risks.
Anyway, if everyone comes back alive, we can figure out a solution together."
Xuan Qing immediately took out paper and ink to write the letter. After he finished, Jiang Changle stamped it with his seal. The three of them, along with a dozen Black Dragon Guards, entered the Baba City.
Jiang Changle and Mo Chen stood quietly outside the city. They were on top of a towering tree, looking into the distance at Baba County.
Mo Chen frowned slightly, counted on his fingers with both hands, and muttered to himself.
"According to my calculations, the recent days have been very yin, so other things won't go smoothly, but they are auspicious days for sacrifices.
Changle, is it possible that the people of the North are planning some kind of ceremony?" Mo Chen's tone revealed a hint of worry.
"Ritual? Or maybe Fire Qilin knows." Jiang Changle pulled Mo Chen and quickly slipped into the space.
In the space, the children are gradually growing up. They are also practicing spiritual power with the Fire Kirin. With Nanny Mu watching over them, the older children can now help collect food in the space.
Most of the time, they play tricks on others naturally.
"Mother~"
As soon as Jiang Changle appeared, a group of children sensed it and rushed over, instantly drowning her.
"Be good, Mommy has something to do with Uncle Qilin, you guys can play by yourselves."
"What's wrong?" Fire Qilin stopped practicing and walked over.
In Jiang Changle's spiritual power space, he practiced very quickly and is now stronger than Jiang Changle.
"Something's not right outside, go out and take a look."
Jiang Changle thought that if Xuanqing and the others could not bring back any useful information, she would take Huo Qilin with her to take a look.
Sure enough, Fire Qilin felt something was wrong as soon as he left the space, "Demonic energy?"
