Fairy way

Lin Xi took out the map and studied it.

It was found that the An dynasty was indeed a very small country, not even attached to any other great dynasty.

And the position of the An Dynasty is also quite special, because it is not within the protection range of any major sect.

One day I was attacked by a monster, and I couldn't find a monk to save my life.

Not attached to any big power, not protected by monks, and there is such an outrageous entry fee, wouldn't it cause chaos?Such a country can still exist?

At this time, Lin Xi seemed to remember something, and asked in a low voice: "Shi Zhong, you said you were kicked out because you ate too much and your family couldn't afford it?"

"Yes." Shi nodded.

"With your strength, one worker and farmer can support ten workers, so it shouldn't be enough for food." Lin Xi frowned: "How much are your taxes?"

"I don't know how much, [-]% of the food has to be handed in every time." Shi Zhong said.

Ninety percent?

Lin Xi was startled.

It's simply a tax that drives people to death.

Shi Zhong can be so calm, it can only be explained that he is used to it.

No wonder Shi Zhong has such a deep obsession with food and clothing.

I have been hungry since I was a child, and I am afraid of being hungry.

What kind of life do people live in this damn country?

At the gate of the city, the president of the Chamber of Commerce was still trying to reason: "My lord, I must have made a mistake. We are all reputable merchants."

The commander frowned, and the dozen or so guards behind him all raised their weapons.

Everyone in the chamber of commerce backed away in fright.

"Why are you arguing! Since you don't want to leave, stay here and hand over all the goods." The commander of the city guard said coldly.

With that said, the guards were about to step forward.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce was so frightened that he trembled all over: "No, no, we are willing to go, we are willing to go."

"Hmph, it's too late if you want to go."

"Guan Ye, Guan Ye is merciful, we are willing to pay 5000 taels."

The commander ignored it at all: "It's too late, all the goods are being seized. These people are probably spies sent by other countries, and they are all put in prison. By the way, the women stay first."

A large group of guards swarmed up and surrounded the caravan.

Everyone in the caravan was terrified.

The guards of the caravan who are responsible for dealing with petty thieves are no match for the guards.

All of a sudden, the female family members of the caravan screamed in fright, and the scene was chaotic.

Lin Xi stood up immediately: "Stop!"

With a loud shout, the guards were stopped from moving.

The city guards all sneered and said: "Where does the brat come from, he dares to show off his might, let me catch him first."

So those five big and three thick guards rushed towards Lin Xi, as if they wanted to capture him.

A trace of anger flashed in Lin Xi's eyes.

Isn't this a bandit?

In anger, he visualized Ye Raksha directly in his mind.

A red-haired evil spirit more than three meters tall suddenly appeared, with blue-faced fangs, extremely ferocious, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed a guard whole in one gulp.

The other guards were frightened.

They have never seen this kind of monster in their entire lives.

"Monster! Help." The guards fled in all directions.

If it weren't for Lin Xi's control of Ye Luosha not to kill indiscriminately, I am afraid that Ye Luosha could swallow all these guards one by one.

The guards of the City Guards were also so frightened that their legs trembled: "What kind of monster is this?"

The people in the caravan were also frightened, and they all huddled together and dared not move.

Lin Xi said: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."

Everyone in the caravan realized that this monster was driven by someone.This extraordinary young man is indeed a legendary monk, that's great, that's great.

Someone dared to get closer, but he was not attacked by the monster.

Everyone in the caravan breathed a sigh of relief.

The city guard Dutong also wanted to run away, but with a thought in Lin Xi's mind, Ye Luosha directly spread his huge black wings, fluttered his wings and flew out, and the air waves roiled, and immediately captured Dutong back.

"The immortal, please forgive me, the immortal, please forgive me." Du Tong hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Lin Xi sneered: "Damn it for harming the common people!"

"Don't care about my business." Du Tong hurriedly said in fright: "It's all the emperor's order, and we are only following orders. If we don't do it, our lives will be lost."

"Huh?" Lin Xi frowned.

Indeed, if there is no order from the ruler.

Even if these people are greedy for money, they shouldn't be so greedy.

"What's your name?" Lin Xi asked.

Du Tong was terrified: "The villain is General Tang Xian."

"Looks like a general?"

"Seventh-rank young general, I have no rights."

Tang Xianjiang had a sour face.

"Okay, I'll check the situation first. If it's all about the ruler's problem as you said, I'll let you go. Otherwise, you can apologize with death." Lin Xi said coldly.

Lin Xi looked at the people in the caravan: "Let's go first, don't go into the city."

"Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal." Everyone in the caravan thanked hurriedly, and then hurriedly left.

After all, Ye Luosha next to Lin Xi was too scary. Even if he knew that the other party would not hurt him, he didn't dare to stay here, let alone try to get close.

Shi Zhong stood by the side somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Go, go home." Lin Xi said in a deep voice.

Lin Xi no longer visualized the image of Ye Luosha in his mind, and Ye Luosha disappeared.

The two walked into the city.

Sure enough, the An Dynasty was indeed in dire straits.

There are beggars everywhere, and there are bones of the dead of starvation on the side of the road.

A sallow-faced and thin woman was holding a crying baby, hiding in a corner and secretly wiping her tears.

It was almost like a catastrophic famine.

The incident at the gate of the city did not alarm anyone, and no other guards came to encircle Lin Xi and the two of them. They just walked on the street in such a grandiose manner.

And he was also detaining the capital of the city guards.

"It's getting worse." Shi Zhong sighed.

Lin Xi was puzzled: "Why have I never heard you mention it?"

"I thought it was the same in other places." Shi Zhong said, "I always thought that everyone was living so hard."

Lin Xi supported her forehead.

You really think too much.

Shi Chong's hometown is in a relatively remote village.

The two of them used the magic amulet and arrived after walking for a long time.

It was a peaceful looking village with huts in rice fields and an old locust tree in the middle of the village, and occasionally a few dogs barking and chickens crowing could be heard.

Longshan Village, Shi Chong's hometown.

At this time, there was a group of officers and soldiers in the distance, who seemed to have a dispute with the villagers.

The village head has gray hair and is leaning on crutches: "Didn't you pay the tax a month ago? Why do you still have to pay it?"

"Hurry up and hand over the food, don't waste time, we have another place to go." The officers and soldiers said impatiently.

"But we really can't deliver it."

"Then the old rules, let's go, search the house."

A pair of officers and soldiers were going to search the house.

All the villagers tried to stop them: "This is our last food."

"Go away, don't block the way." The officers and soldiers kicked the villagers away.

Facing this scene, Shi Zhong roared: "Stop!"

The officers and soldiers stopped.

The attention of the villagers was also attracted by Shi Zhong.

"Shi Zhong? How did he come back?"

"Didn't you let him escape?"

"This silly boy."

A woman kept wiping away her tears when she saw Shi Zhong: "What are you doing back here, silly boy? If you have the ability to escape, you shouldn't have come back! Wouldn't it be suffering if you came back?"

"mother."

Shi Zhong finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He rushed to the officers and soldiers.

Those officers and soldiers didn't take it seriously at first, but Shi Zhong was so fast that he punched one by one, and even sent the officers and soldiers flying out one by one.
