The south is wet and cold.
Many trees do not wither in winter, and only begin to shed their leaves in the cold spring.
The master of Yuxi City came back. This incident was not a major event, but it still caused quite a stir in this small world that seemed to be completely isolated from the surroundings. It is very different from the obscurity two years ago. All kinds of things that happened in the past two years have made many people around miss this city that has been expanded many times, and by the way, miss the city lord who idles around all day but can still enjoy it. grown ups.
Fang Yuan heard about Lide's return on the battlefield. Holding the letter full of information in those chubby hands, he said to the maid Magpie beside him with a complicated expression:
"The boss is back. It's really...unexpected. When people from other territories came back, I specifically inquired about the whereabouts of the boss. Everyone said he was dead. I didn't believe it at the time, but there has been no news for so long. I also thought it might be true. Don’t talk about me, the people in Yuxi City have heard that they have started to discuss who the next city lord will be. I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect him to come back... "
Fang Yuan tore the letter paper in his hand into pieces, let them fall in the wind, and added the last sentence after a while:
"Yunyang, it's not all trash at last. Magpies, do you know? Tigers and sheep can't live together, especially when sheep have more resources than tigers... let alone tigers, like me Fat pigs will bite people when they are in a hurry."
Magpie stood aside, didn't answer the conversation, just listened silently.
In fact, Fang Yuan is not as weak as he makes fun of himself. He already has a new nickname, which is "White Tiger".
This winter, Lord Zhaochen's Ninth Prince Fangyuan did not get involved in the northward travel, but took advantage of the joyful relaxation time in Zhaochen's territory preparing for the Spring Festival to further expand his influence northward. Since Lide ceded Fangli Tower's original power to Fangyuan, Fangyuan has actually formed a situation where he can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. This time, he caught his father and big brothers by surprise, and the more the better for him. big win.
He first occupied nine cities to the north in one breath, and then signed an armistice agreement with the fifth son of Zhaochen. Just when the whole Zhaochen thought that this rebellious little fat man would spend several months digesting the city he had just acquired, after only five days, Fangyuan immediately tore up the armistice agreement and went north, occupying another twelve cities, and directly The power of the five sons of Zhaochen was wiped out.
The five sons are all dead, so naturally there are too many armistice agreements. This is called getting on the train first and paying for the ticket.
This process is very simple, but the process is very bloody. For example, after occupying nine cities, my own soldiers want to enjoy a good year, but their morale is low and they have no fighting spirit. Fang Yuan took the 8,000 captives who were supposed to be returned to the Fifth Young Master out of the prison, made them kneel on the square, and then drew their knives and killed them one by one. Blood, the fat on his face trembled, and then he said to his soldiers in a low voice:
"Did you see? This is the fate of the losers. Among you, some of you follow me for your life, some of you follow me for glory and wealth, I don't care about those. But I am a rebel against Zhaochen's orthodox, Like me, they are all traitors and scum of the Zhaochen territory! If you lose, you will be worse than them, you will be buried alive, you will be killed, you will be burned—so we must win. Until the head of Lord Zhaochen’s dog is chopped off Now, let us be the masters of this land!"
Fang Yuan, covered in blood, looked coldly at the frost-faced soldier, and said:
"Now pick up your knives and kill them all. We can see blood, we are sober, we have no way out! Rest for the night, leave the city tomorrow and continue northward, do you understand?"
The iron-armored army is running again.
That night, the whole square was covered with blood, which was in stark contrast to the wisps of danxiang in Lord Zhaochen's mansion.
Such a perverse action naturally aroused Lord Zhaochen's dissatisfaction, so even on the day of the Spring Festival, Fang Yuan personally sat on the front line wearing armor. He has not rested until today. Although the news of Lide's return is important to him, his top priority is still in the immediate life-and-death battle.
He knew that Lied would not trouble him at this time.
Because Yuxi City has a more obvious opponent.
Fang Yuan knew very well that Li De would eventually follow the same path as him, even if it wasn't for the same thing.
sea of clouds.
Bai Feng, the second son of Yunhai, heard about Li De's return to Yuxi City from his staff. He still smiled softly, full of gentlemanly style, and expressed his happiness sincerely. However, he was more concerned about the giants brought back by Lide, and thought about the relationship between Lide and Lord Lingwu.
Bai Feng said to the old man Hualong who was the leader of the counselors beside him:
"I'm ashamed to say it. We, Yunhai, have always been famous for business, but Lide is better at doing business than us. With us, with the royal family, with Lingwu, with Xiqin and Nanchu... even with the demons and Giants can do business. He is very powerful, but it is a pity that the time was limited last time, so we couldn't have a good chat about business."
The old man Hualong just smiled.
At the auction back then, the old man insisted on killing Li De, but Bai Huang stopped him.
In fact, it can be killed now, but the old man Hualong can tell that neither the lord of Yunhai nor the two young masters of Yunhai are currently focusing on this. And no matter what, the eldest lady is still staying in Yuxi City, and it is not appropriate to tear her face out of emotion and reason now.
Bai Feng just sighed with emotion, took a sip of tea, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and said softly:
"Yuxi City, two years ago was just a dilapidated small city. Now it can develop to such a scale, mainly relying on tolerance. Whether it's wicked or alien, as long as you abide by the rules of Yuxi City, you can live there. .This is hard for us to imagine... Sir, what is my brother doing now?"
The old man Hualong lowered his eyebrows and nodded, and replied:
"Still watching the sea."
Bai Feng nodded calmly and said nothing.
At the southernmost end of the sea of clouds, the eldest son Bai Ye sat cross-legged on the beach. Seagulls fly in the blue sky, and the clear water washes the soft sand. A small crab passed by Bai Ye holding its pincers, and stayed there for a moment, as if wondering what this motionless guy was thinking.
Bai Ye closed his eyes, clenched his fists and placed them on his knees.
He heard the sound of wind and thunder, as if he was still in the ice field outside the Great Wall shrouded in severe cold. He doesn't know much about power struggles. He has spent most of his time practicing martial arts since he was born. He has been promoted to the Nine Great Perfections early on, but he still stops there.
Now, after walking to the north for a while, seeing the scene of the sword qi criss-crossing for 30,000 miles, the heart of martial arts caused waves that had not been seen for a long time.
Just like the sea level wrinkled by the wind.
