I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

For Lin Xuankong, the most important thing is,

Now that he has the backing of Sima Dongming's forces, he doesn't care so much about the forces in small places like Qingyuan City!

However, from a certain perspective, the words of Miao Wan'er, the third lady of the Miao family, who was beside him, were well-intentioned, and Lin Xuankong found it difficult to refute them.

"Okay, I've got that!" Lin Xuankong nodded, then stopped talking and looked through the glass at the people coming and going on the street.

Miao Wan'er, the third lady of the Miao family, was a little angry when she saw that he didn't seem to care much. She frowned and wanted to say something, but when she saw that Lin Xuankong was just looking out the window and didn't even look at her, she felt even more depressed.

Although the third daughter of the Miao family has lofty ambitions and always hopes that she can rely on some connections to bring the entire Miao family to prosperity in the future, no matter how lofty her ambitions are, she is still a young woman of eighteen or nineteen years old after all. She is still at an age where she loves beauty, likes to be admired by her peers, and is also at an age where she is a little vain!

then,

After seeing Lin Xuankong casually saying something to her and then not even looking at her, Miao Wan'er couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Is this Lin Qiang a 'big blockhead'?

I had good intentions. I didn't want you to embarrass yourself at other people's birthday party, and I also wanted you to feel more comfortable in our Miao family in the future. But look at the way you look, it's obvious that you don't care about what I just said!

Also, doesn’t this white gift of mine look good today!

Didn't you see that Liang Yucheng was already staring at you with his eyes wide open, but you didn't even say a word of praise?

He didn't even take a second look at it. He must be really blind, or he has absolutely no aesthetic sense. He's just a country bumpkin from a small town!

After muttering to Lin Xuankong in her heart for a while, Miao Wan'er simply moved to the other side of the seat and looked out the window on the other side, her mouth puffed up with anger.

Lin Xuankong looked at the situation outside the car window and his brows slowly frowned.

Since he was resurrected in this small world of Jueling, he spent most of his time either cultivating or staying at the Miao family. He had never walked on the streets of Qingyuan City, let alone carefully observing the people of this county town of Da Yan Country! Now he was preparing to relax and feel the fireworks of this mundane world, but he suddenly discovered that compared with the eldest lady of the Miao family who changed into beautiful clothes every day, had no worries about food and drink, and was picked up and dropped off by car when going out, the ordinary people outside simply didn't live like human beings!

Sixty to seventy percent of the people outside didn't have a single piece of clean and tidy clothing. Most of them were tattered and patched with countless patches. The surface of the clothes was covered with dirt and mud! Even the faces of the people were also covered with black mud. Their hair was as dirty as a bird's nest. It was unknown how many days it hadn't been washed!

Most of the people were extremely thin, and their tattered and loose clothes made it look like the clothes were being carried on bamboo poles. Their palms and soles exposed outside their clothes were also extremely dirty!

Between vehicles,

When the people saw the Miao family's white car, they all made way and hid on both sides of the street that was full of feces and urine. They looked at the car passing through the street with eyes filled with respect, fear and even some panic.

In addition, there are many people who can't even afford to wear a shirt, and only wear ill-fitting pants and squat on the street! And every ten meters or so, you can see one or two weak beggars lying on the street, shaking the broken bowl with a missing corner or half broken, begging passers-by to give them some food! Unfortunately, most of the people walking on the street are skinny and weak, and they look so poor that they can't even feed themselves, so how can they have the energy to help these beggars!

After retracting his gaze, Lin Xuankong, who had originally intended to experience the mundane atmosphere of this little world of absolute spirituality, frowned even more tightly.

Although the people outside looked so thin that they were almost unrecognizable, they all had black hair, black eyes, and yellowish skin. This made Lin Xuankong suddenly feel as if he had really traveled through time to the Republic of China on Blue Star China, to that chaotic era when the people were suffering!

Especially the Great Yan Kingdom in this Jueling small world, which is currently under attack from a coalition of seven or eight countries. There are smoke of war everywhere on the border, and internally there are many families and warlords who all have their own ulterior motives. It is exactly like that era!

"What's wrong? Why does your face suddenly become so ugly?"

Miao Wan'er, the third daughter of the Miao family, who was sitting in the seat next to him, noticed the change in Lin Xuankong's expression and asked with some surprise.

Lin Xuankong remained silent, but he had some thoughts in his mind.

Miao Wan'er looked at him carefully for a few times, then glanced at the car window on Lin Xuankong's side. She seemed to understand something, then shook her head slightly and said, "Today's Qingyuan City is indeed far from being as prosperous as it was four or five years ago. Coupled with the consecutive years of drought, most of the people in Qingyuan City can only barely fill their stomachs! But now is a time of chaos, who can do much? Maybe in a few years, when the war on the border stops, most of the young and middle-aged people will return to their hometowns to engage in production, and the situation will be better!"

At this point, she sighed slightly, "Don't talk about the common people. Even for our Miao family, it's not easy right now! My eldest brother and second brother have both joined the army and are in the southeast coast, fighting against the Wei army. On that battlefield, even though they are officers, they still face life-and-death crises at any time!

Every time a telegram was sent back, the eldest and second brothers would tell about the plight of the troops on the coastal border. Not only was there a shortage of ammunition, but even the soldiers' food supply was not sufficient!

But my mother repeatedly persuaded my elder brother and second brother to come back and not to risk their lives on the front line, but they firmly refused, saying that they would die for the country without regrets! Alas, if one day, there is someone among the elder brother and second brother who can really remember them and feel sorry for them, I am afraid that only my father, mother and I, the third sister, will be able to remember them! Speaking of which, it is also my father's fault. Why did he let the elder brother and second brother do something else but let them join the army to fight? Then, are the two little officers missing from the front line? My mother and I are worried about the elder brother and second brother every day!

If one day I have enough power, I will definitely transfer my elder brother and second brother back from the front line without hesitation!"

After hearing what she said, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but have an improved impression of Miao Yunhu. As for Director Miao of the Inspection Bureau who took good care of him, Lin Xuankong's previous impression was just that this director was affectionate and loyal. Now it seems that this Director Miao is not only affectionate and loyal, but also has a sense of family and country. He was so cruel that he let his two sons join the army to defend his country!

He secretly said in his heart: The situation in the Great Yan Country is indeed just like the Republic of China. Even though there are all kinds of desperate situations, even though the armies of the neighboring countries are so powerful that people feel a little desperate, there are still countless truly passionate people who are willing to fight to the death for this country and the people living on its land!

While the two were talking,

The vehicle of the third young lady of the Miao family had already passed through the streets and alleys and arrived at a rather wide avenue with shops on both sides.

This avenue was different from what Lin Xuankong had seen before. There were very few people in ragged clothes. Most of the shop owners and clerks were neatly dressed and had rosy faces. Many of them were even slightly fat. There was no urine smell or strange odor on the street, and the air was quite fresh.

Obviously, even in this chaotic world, there are still places in Qingyuan City where powerful people gather that are not affected by the chaos!

"squeak"

Brakes sounded.

The driver in front got out of the car, opened the driver's door, and said respectfully to Miao Wan'er and Lin Xuankong: "Miss Third, Master Lin, we have arrived at the Hewei Restaurant where Commander Wei is holding his birthday party!"

Before Miao Wan'er and Lin Xuankong got out of the car, Liang Yucheng's voice came from outside again, "Haha, there are nearly a hundred cars parked here. I guess most of the guests have arrived! Miss Miao, Brother Lin, this is perfect. Let's go up and wait for a while, then we can start eating and drinking, hahaha!"

Miao Wan'er got out of the car and looked at the surrounding vehicles. Her eyes quickly fell on a purple sedan with a rather grand shape. Then her face changed and she couldn't help asking, "Chief Liang, this car looks so luxurious. Judging from the license plate, it should have come from Kyoto. But aren't the guests of Chief Wei's birthday party today the big shots from the surrounding counties? How come there are big shots from the capital coming too!"

Hearing the question from the third young lady of the Miao family, Liang Yucheng, who was originally in a good mood, turned around and took a closer look at the car. Then his face changed and he said:

"It's supposed to be like this. Most of the guests invited by Commander Wei to the banquet this time are local bigwigs! This car is not right. I seem to have seen this car before. I saw it at the Huang family when I went to the capital last year. It seems that only the direct descendants of the Huang family or the people in power are allowed to drive this brand of car!"

"The Huang family? The direct descendant or the person in power of the Huang family in Kyoto!" After hearing Liang Yucheng's words about the possible origin of the car, even though Miao Wan'er had been mentally prepared for a while, her face still changed.

In Miao Wan'er's opinion, the Huang family is just like the Ma family behind her mother. They are the real behemoths of the entire Great Yan Kingdom. Even in terms of the number of troops controlled and the amount of territories controlled, the Huang family can definitely surpass the Ma family!

And today, at Wei Hongde’s birthday party, there would actually be direct descendants of the Huang family or people in power coming here?

Miao Wan'er's heart beat faster, and she thought to herself: Could it be Miss Huang Yun'er who followed Mr. Sima Dongming? If Miss Huang really came here today, she would definitely become the core figure of the whole banquet! Not to mention Miss Huang, any direct descendant of the Huang family would undoubtedly become the core figure of the whole banquet. Even the top bosses in the surrounding counties would be as obedient as quails in front of such a real big shot!

"But it doesn't matter. If there really are direct descendants of the Huang family or people in power here, they will definitely not attend the banquet on the same floor as us! We can only be on the second floor. If direct descendants of the Huang family or people in power come, they will definitely go to the private room on the third floor! Tsk tsk, if such a real big shot comes here, we don't have many opportunities to see him, let alone sit together to eat and drink!

Forget it, forget it, let's not think about it, let's go in!" Liang Yucheng, a guy in his twenties, obviously saw it very clearly and thought very clearly. He knew that even if there were big shots at Wei Hongde's birthday party, he couldn't get close to them, contact them or make friends with them!

Moreover, if people want to interact with each other, they must have equal interests and abilities or common hobbies! Although the Liang family controls a garrison camp in Qingyuan County, if you are serious, the words of the Liang family boss's chief regiment commander may not be as effective as those of Wei Hong's deputy regiment commander! Such a Liang family, let alone in Jizhou, is not the top force in the entire Qingyuan City. How can he, a descendant of the Liang family, have the opportunity to connect with a terrifying behemoth like the Huang family!

Knowing this, Liang Yucheng was naturally not too concerned about the news that the direct descendants of the Huang family or the people in power had arrived here. After all, if he wanted to curry favor with them, there would be no chance!

Second floor lobby, table 18.

Liang Yucheng looked at Miao Wan'er and Lin Xuankong who had just sat down at the table, and said with a smile: "Ms. Miao, I believe you know all the eight people sitting at this table! But Brother Lin, you may not know them! Come on, Brother Lin, let me introduce them to you!"

Lin Xuankong had some favorable impressions of Liang Yucheng, the outgoing and self-aware military officer. Although he did not have much intention to get to know these young people in front of him who were said to have some status and power in Qingyuan City, since Liang Yucheng had spoken, he naturally nodded in agreement, and then looked at the people around the table.

Liang Yucheng introduced them one by one with a smile on his face.

"This is Master Ding from the family of Ding Tuanlian. The garrison battalion under the control of Ding Tuanlian has the largest number of troops and the best equipment among the three major battalions in Qingyuan City! Therefore, among the descendants of military officials like us, Master Ding can be regarded as the real big brother!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong looked at the young man Liang Yucheng was introducing.

Liang Yucheng continued, "Master Ding, this Brother Lin is the super fishing master I introduced to you a few days ago. In addition, this Brother Lin is the descendant of the brother of Director Miao of the Inspection Bureau. Although he is not Director Miao's adopted son, he is as close as an adopted son. It is said that this Brother Lin is treated exactly the same in the Miao family as Brother Miao, the second brother, and Miss Miao!"
