"The summons sword talisman sent by Liu Chengyu, the guard of this town, Sun Zelei of Huangshan Town colluded with Tianlangmen to first kidnap Ning Bin, the eldest son of Ningji, and then coerced Ningji to purchase Linggu at a high price within the town. Then Ningbin After being rescued by others, the Tianlang Sect attacked and killed Ning Ji after realizing that the hostages were missing. After that, Ning Bin discovered that his father had died and secretly informed the Ning family, one of the three powerful powers in the county, and transferred the Shaotian Sect through the Ning family. The master used the Wolf Smoke Amulet of the Tianlang Sect as bait and ambushed twenty-three people from the Tianlang Sect, including six martial arts monks, including a high-level martial arts monk twenty miles outside the town."
Yang Tiangang raised the messenger sword talisman in his hand and roughly narrated the contents to everyone present, and then said: "After that, Wu Fengzhu, the deputy governor of Huangshan Town, who had been fighting with his opponent, took action to kill the rebellious Sun Zelei, and made peace with the Ning family. The Shaan Tian Sect came to help the monks, and they cooperated with each other to break the guardhouse. The remaining members of the Tianlang Sect were supported by their own people and retreated to Quwu Mountain. "
Yang Tiangang roughly narrated what happened in Huangshan Town to the people present. Then Xu Sanniang asked strangely: "Why did the Tianlang Gang buy Linggu in Huangshan Town at a high price? I haven't heard of any natural disasters in Zhang County? "
Han Xiumei sneered and said: "You don't have to ask, I think there is a 10% chance that the Tianlang Sect has already known about the coming locust plague. Maybe this locust plague is caused by them themselves. Don't look at the high price of Linggu now, wait. We have all suffered a disaster, so it’s not surprising if someone sells it to us at double the price!”
Zhang Tiejiang hesitated and said: "This makes sense. Brother Yang, did the summons from Guard Liu say how many spiritual valleys Huangshan Town lost this time?"
Yang Tiangang sighed and said: "Several villages in Huangshan Town were attracted by the high price offered by Tianlang Sect, and the total number of spiritual valleys acquired reached one thousand eight hundred stones!"
"Eighteen hundred stones!" Everyone exclaimed, and Blacksmith Zhang even lost his voice: "Why are there so many?"
You must know that the output of Linggu is not high. The total harvest of Linggu in Tuqiu Village in a year is only 1,500 to 600 dan. Even a family like Yang Tiangang cannot afford three Linggu meals a day. Grain rice.
It is now the eve of the Linggu harvest. After half a year of consumption, every spiritual farmer may not have much leftover food. One thousand eight hundred dan can almost be said to have emptied the last reserves of most spiritual farmers in Huangshan Town. Grain.
Yang Tiangang said in a deep voice: "This year's harvest in Huangshan Town is even better than ours. The most experienced spiritual farmers have also concluded that there will be a bumper harvest in Linggu this year. In this way, the spiritual farmers in Huangshan Town will naturally have no worries. In addition, the Tianlang Sect's The purchase price was really high, and the spiritual farmers were worried about the price drop after harvesting, so they sold the spiritual grains they had at home.”
"Of the 1,800 Stone Spirit Valley, 1,200 stones have been transported back to Zhang County. The remaining 800 stones were burned by the evacuated Tianlangmen monks when the town was recovered. In the end, only 200 stones were snatched away. Come on stone.”
There was another sound of chest-beating and foot-beating in the hall, loudly cursing the Heavenly Wolf Sect for squandering natural resources, and the persistence of spiritual cultivators in spiritual fields and spiritual valleys was difficult for others to understand.
Xu Sanniang whispered at this time: "That is to say, the hope of the entire Huangshan Town is placed on the spiritual valley that is about to be harvested. If it is true that there will be an unusual locust plague as Brother Yang said, wouldn't it, wouldn't it? Up and down Huangshan Town..."
Everyone at once
Falling into silence, with a cold feeling in his heart, the Tianlang Sect's move can really be said to have cut off the vitality of Huangshan Town.
Yang Tiangang broke the silence at this time and said: "No matter whether the locust plague comes or not, Supervisor Liu asked all villages to be more vigilant. Of course, he said that the village should be more vigilant against outsiders to prevent Zhangjun's exercises from sneaking into the town and causing trouble. However, We should also take this opportunity to organize the whole village and prepare for disaster prevention. It would be best if the giant locust disaster does not come. If it does come, we will not be helpless. "
The monks from Tuqiu Village in the hall looked at each other, and finally, led by Xu Sanniang and Zhang Tiejiang, they said in unison: "But it depends on Lord Muramasa's orders."
Yang Tiangang said loudly: "Okay, if what happened in Huangshan Town is really related to this locust plague, then the locust plague is most likely to come from the south, and gather the people with the highest cultivation level in the village to form a defense in the south of the village. According to past practice, As long as the village is guarding the center, Brother Zhang and the head of the Xu family guard the two wings, but this time the locust plague is likely to be different from the past, and the village now has four martial arts monks, so Yang is determined to join forces with Brother Zhang to defend the south direction. how?"
Without waiting for Zhang Blacksmith to nod in agreement, Xu Sanniang chuckled and said: "So the two wings are guarded by me and the Yang family's sister-in-law! But after all, the Yang family's sister-in-law has just advanced to the warrior realm and does not have her own magic weapon. , so the southeast corner will be guarded by me."
The real direction of Huangshan Town should be to the south and east of Huangtu Town. If the locust plague really comes from there, the defensive pressure from the southeast will inevitably be stronger than the southwest.
Han Xiumei rolled her eyes and smiled: "I heard that there is a low-grade magic weapon in the Xu family. If my sister can lend this magic weapon to my sister-in-law, I will leave the defense of the southeast to my sister-in-law. What can I do?" Sample?"
Xu Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is joking, don't listen to what the villagers say. Our Xu family only has this magic weapon in my sister's hand. If there really is another magic weapon, how could it be hidden to this day!"
Ignoring the fight between the two women, Yang Tianggang continued to order: "Ask all the strong laborers in the village to be prepared. Although the grains in the Lingtian are not yet fully mature, once the locust plague really exceeds expectations, immediately organize everyone to first I won’t hesitate to seize the spiritual field, even if I suffer some losses.”
After a pause, Yang Tianggang continued: "There are also those households in the village who only live on their own one-third of an acre. Tell them that if the village cannot hold it this time, everyone's spiritual fields will be destroyed. Tell them Don't be so petty, just send your spiritual farmers to the south of the village instead of guarding your three-quarter spiritual land!"
"Also," Yang Tiangang suddenly thought of something again, and added: "I will take out two-thirds of the jade coins in the village's public account this afternoon. Please brother Zhang, please take the people from the Xu family, Tieniu, Qingniu and the others. A few of them collected the grain carts in the village and went to the townhouse to buy all the spiritual grains that all the merchants in the town could sell."
Zhang Tiejiang also knew that the matter was urgent and it was not time to discuss personal grievances. He also nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, I will live up to my trust!"
