After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 396

But the residents there were looking forward to it, and they couldn't help cheering when they heard that the seeds of the precious tree were finally settling in the northern border.

It seems that the border there is not very peaceful.

Master Shi Er whispered: "Lingxu City's control over the Twilight Plain is generally not strict, and forces from various countries move back and forth."

At this moment, Tang Xiangguo came out again to say some scene words.The most indispensable part of every birthday celebration is entertainment, so the open space in front of Baiyun Residence was quickly cleared, and a whole group of people began to perform juggling and illusions immediately.

He Lingchuan only paid attention to the whereabouts of the treasure tree seeds, and saw that it was packed in a brocade box, and Tang Guoxiang finally took it away.

In other words, he had to try to get the seeds from Tang Guoxiang.

This difficulty is really not ordinary high.

The show on Baiyun Mountain will last for three days and three nights. Of course the people are happy, but the officials and missions will leave first.

I don't know how Master Shi Er got the news, and he came back after a while and said to He Lingchuan: "Good news, good news, the team escorting the mission to the northern border is getting ready and will set off in an hour. They will also escort Spirit Seed, it would be best if we follow along!"

He Lingchuan smiled.

Beja's trade route is usually relatively safe, but it has only been a few days since Emperor Liuzhi passed by, so it is still a bit dangerous for foreign caravans.This escort team is the elite sent by Fufeng City. With them clearing the way, the caravan will be much safer on their way.

It's like the refugees who like to follow behind the noble team when they move. The strong open the way ahead, and they also have a guarantee of safety.

Baiyun Mountain is in the northern outskirts of Fufeng City, and the Spirit Seed Guards will set off directly from here after they are assembled.

Several clever caravans followed immediately.

The Shimen Caravan is one of them.

Before leaving this huge crater, He Lingchuan looked back one last time, and was impressed by Gu Luoshu's stalwart figure.

A tree ruling a kingdom was beyond his imagination.

Yaoguo is really a magical place.

At this point the black cat said goodbye to him.

I have seen enough of today's excitement, and this employer is quite generous, giving enough silver taels and dried fish, but now it has to go back to take care of the baby.

"Take the child and go with us, the caravan always encounters mice." It was actually the master Shi Er who suggested to it, "Eat and drink enough."

The black cat was a little moved, and then rejected him: "No. It's easy to find a job in Fufeng City, and my child must grow up in a big city. Who wants to live with you?"

"You ruthless woman." He Lingchuan couldn't help laughing, and reached out to it, "It's a happy cooperation, thank you."

The cat stretched out its mangosteen-like front paws to give him a high-five, then jumped off the sheep's back and left without hesitation.

He Lingchuan saw that it was looking for other humans again. She was a seven or eight-year-old girl, and she even rubbed her hand and acted coquettishly, probably because she wanted to take a ride back to Fufeng City...

At this time, another acquaintance followed behind:
Xu Dongdong.

This guy is also the guard of Taifu's mansion who rushed out of the mirror world with He Lingchuan, and has been performing other tasks for the past few days.

He said to He Lingchuan: "Young Master Sha knows that you are about to leave, let me escort you for a ride. Brother Ang can't get away from Taifu, let me say goodbye for him."

He Lingchuan thanked, and then asked: "Has Fushan been arrested?"

"Not yet, this guy is very powerful, and he can run faster than a rabbit. If there is a sign of trouble, he will slip away." Xu Dongdong whispered, "But we caught his two companions, and we only found out the real name of their leader after torture. It's called Fu Shanyue."

"This group of people are mercenaries. They kill people, sell goods and fight wars for the rich and powerful. This time they have received a mission to ambush Bai Zhu, the emissary of Shanyu Kingdom."

"Is that the white python?"

"Yes." Xu Dongdong scratched his head, "When they collected the emperor's liquid in Sanxinyuan, they mistakenly killed the deputy envoy of Qiling Kingdom as Baizhu. The task was not completed, so they changed their plan and planned to go to Baizhu Zhu will do it after leaving Fufeng City. As for who the employer is, only Fu Shanyue knows, and these subordinates only obey orders."

"Where did Fu Shanyue come from?"

"Uh, I don't know." Xu Dongdong sighed, "I just heard these two sentences, and I was sent to look for you before I wrote anything."

Do you dare to delay him from listening to gossip?He Lingchuan coughed:
"This emissary already knows that he is on the death list?"

"We have already informed it." Xu Dongdong said, "We will also send more people to protect it, all the way to the border. I hope it will be safe and sound along the way." Don't lose the reputation of King Baoshu.

He Lingchuan hummed: "What's the need to attack a gift-giving envoy? You also have to risk offending King Baoshu."

"How would I know?" Xu Dongdong shrugged, "Sometimes these monsters get reckless and don't make sense at all. Shanyu's country is in turmoil, and I heard that the imperial army is retreating steadily. Maybe their opponents sent people to assassinate them this time."

"That spiritual seed, as long as it is planted in the soil, it can grow into a border guard?"

"Almost." Xu Dongdong said with a chuckle, "I'm not too clear about the specifics. My king avatar is much more powerful than Shanze. Where there is it, there is no need to appoint Shanze. It's just that the spirit seed is not easy to produce. It’s said that it takes three to forty years to conceive one.”

"Then there are at most 20 Guluo clone guards in the entire Treasure Tree Kingdom?" What a simple arithmetic problem.

"Uh." Xu Dongdong felt that he had made a slip of the tongue.How can this kind of thing be known to outsiders?
He Lingchuan observed the color and knew that it was not good to talk about it, so he changed the subject: "Are the spirit-seed guards temporarily built? I think they are all human beings, and the mounts are just ordinary horses. At most, there are more than a dozen wolf demons accompanying the team." , it seems..."

It doesn't seem too grand.

Master Shi Er interjected: "I thought Fufeng City would send an army of monsters to escort the spirit species to the northern border."

Xu Dongdong laughed: "Sounds very majestic, doesn't it?"

"you do not say?"

"When the king's flag is raised, how can there be robbers who don't have eyes to rob?" Xu Dongdong said, "Besides, how much food does the army of monsters have? How can the post stations and towns along the way afford it? Horses are the best, with a stable temper, She has great stamina and eats grass."

He Lingchuan laughed: "It is indeed an economic account."

Monsters like tigers and wolves are big eaters, and they have to eat meat when they go out. Each head can eat dozens of catties a day. What kind of logistics can afford it?Even herbivorous monsters eat several times more than ordinary horses.

After all the calculations, riding a horse is the most trouble-free.

Of course, He Lingchuan understood that this was also because Fufeng City was a bit far from the northern border, otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal to send a monster guard of honor there.

Furthermore, it is the self-confidence of King Baoshu: who dares to rob Wang Shi on his territory?

He Lingchuan also found another discovery: even in the country of Beijia, the number of monsters is not as many as he imagined.

Still taking Fufeng City as an example, after many days of observation, the ratio of monsters to humans is not even one to ten.Even in the capital city of the Treasure Tree Kingdom where many monsters gather, human beings are still outnumbered.

Not to mention the villages and towns he passed along the way, the number of human beings is at least thirty times that of monsters.He has been to the most extreme town with more than 600 permanent residents, but it is said that there are only three monsters.

Here we need to distinguish a concept: beasts and monsters are two different things.

In Yuan Kingdom General Zhao Pan's army, there was a Brute Bull Charge Squad led by the Brute Bull Demon. He Lingchuan almost experienced its power at that time.But strictly speaking, out of the [-] cows in this group, there are only seven cow monsters, and they are generally bigger and stronger, very recognizable, while the rest are ordinary bulls.

In addition, most members of the rock wolf clan are also ordinary rock wolves, only Lu Xin from He Lingchuan and Dahei from He Yue can really be called demon wolves.

Zhu Erniang's descendants easily exceed 180 to [-], but there are less than [-] elite spider guards who have become demons.When He Lingchuan was bored in the Devil's Nest Swamp, he once counted them with his own hands.

With so many spider guards, it can occupy the best territory in the Devil's Nest Swamp, and the other big monsters can only swallow their anger.

When He Lingchuan communicated with Xu Dongdong about this, he laughed loudly: "How can monsters compare with humans in terms of numbers?"

"I thought Bega was a demon country, and monsters could dominate the mainstream." He Lingchuan listened to plays and read scripts in the Yuan country, saying that the northern demon country is full of monsters, and how powerful the demon army is, the life of enslaved human civilians is as good as it is. awful.

As a result, I came here to see it with my own eyes, huh, huh.

"The demon kings are noble, and Bega has no shortage of powerful monsters. But without humans, how can such a huge empire be maintained?"

Master Shi Er also laughed and said, "Except for human beings, who can manage and produce?"

He Lingchuan thought so too.Those who are good at farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing like Zhu Erniang are already outliers among monsters.

Most monsters follow their nature and are free and undisciplined. They are not as careful as humans, and it is difficult to work in groups like humans day after day.

If production and management are not dominated by people, there will be no food growing in the fields, no one will mine the mines, and business will not be able to continue at all. Where will wealth come from?

At this time, the protective mirror intervened again: "The aura of heaven and earth is weak, which is the main reason why the number of monsters is not long. In the early days of the Middle Ages, monsters roamed everywhere. If you shoot an arrow in the wild, the one you hit may be a rabbit monster." But people are different... No matter how thin the aura of heaven and earth is, people are still people and will not become monkeys."

It is precisely because the Yaozu is weak that they want to form a group.In the ancient and middle ages, demons and immortals were rampant, each occupying the south, the north and the north as the overlord. How can there be a demon country like Beja?

After all, it is nothing more than a product of the current situation.

That night, the team lodged in a small town next to the official road.

The escort team was about 300 people, and the caravan behind it had more than 1000 people. Even the carts and horses with goods could not fit in a town.

Fortunately, there was a second town five miles away, and the Shimen caravan settled there.

Other businessmen came over to chat, and He Lingchuan heard a message:
"Actually, there are not only guards resting in the town, but also three foreign missions, which seem to be from Suluo Kingdom, Chiyan Kingdom, and Baixiang Kingdom. The guards invite them to live with me."

　From January 1st to 1th, it is also double. I implore everyone to issue a guaranteed monthly ticket and vote at that time. Thank you very much.
