Chu Xian had a feeling that even if he saw the Lord of the Zhenxi City Mansion, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get his wish. The land of Liangzhou is remote, and the most difficult thing to endure every year is this long snow season, at this time, the grain depots are often empty, not to mention the county government, that is, the city government around the country, they have to try their best to mobilize silver to buy grain, and send it to various places.

In this way, the city government is afraid that there is no extra silver.

Second, if it is said that there is no evidence of the invasion of the demon clan, the lord of the government may not listen to it, after all, there has been no large-scale invasion of the demon clan in Liangzhou for more than ten years, and everyone understands the truth of being born in distress and dying in peace, but how many people can really do it?

Just look at the attitude of the county government towards the county defense, it can be seen that it can no longer be called negligence, it is completely not paying attention to it, and it is not taken seriously.

If the city government strictly restricts it, no matter how bold the county government below is, it will not dare to neglect the county defense, and it can only be said that it has been negligent and lax from the upper layer.

And they are not to blame for it.

Chu Xian knew that if he didn't know about his previous life, then there would be no invasion of the demon clan, but he would have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in county defense every year, and what about three or five years, ten or eight years?

People have become accustomed to the fact that the demon clan will not come, this year will be the same as last year, and next year, it will be the same as this year.

Inertia is so hard to change.

Finally, at noon on the third day, Chu Xian met Lord Ling of Zhenxi City Mansion, the other party was also busy with official business, but he was also quite polite to the visiting officials, and there was no official arrogance.

After some greetings, Chu Xian said his intentions, and sure enough, the lord of the palace was silent for a moment and said: " Chu County Cheng, there is nothing wrong with your worry, and as far as I know, there is no negligence in the county defense in various places, but it is not as tight as more than ten years ago, after all, the demon clan has not shown up for more than ten years, as for the county defense of Dinghai County, the city government secretary also mentioned to me before, Dinghai County's county defense silver money in recent years has been used to improve people's livelihood, this matter is known to the city government secretary, and this year's silver has already been allocated, next year, you have to wait for the beginning of spring, can be issued. ”

As soon as Chu Xian heard this, he knew that there was no play.

Wu Degui's bastard acted very quickly, and the other party's backstage should be the master of the Xicheng Mansion in this town, and he had already been ventilated, so Wu Degui's behavior was clearly a violation of official discipline, and he was inexplicably whitewashed.

After all, this is something that the city lord has acquiesced in.

Chu Xian had no intention of dwelling on Wu Degui's matter, he knew that the silver would not come down, but the materials would have to be needed, and it would be best to transfer some red gold troops.

Thinking of this, Chu Xian said again: "Lord Fu Ling, I got the news that maybe at the latest in the spring of next year, as early as after the end of the snow season, Dinghai County will be invaded by the demon clan, so in any case, I also ask Lord Fu Ling to allocate some materials, armor and weapons, in addition, the Dinghai County army is no longer an army, I dare to, please transfer a hundred people to Dinghai County, garrison for three months, three months later, if there is no demon clan to attack, come back again." ”

"This ......" Nafu Ling was stunned, he didn't expect Chu Xian to make such an 'excessive' request, and it was not a big deal to allocate materials, but to ask the Chijin Army to transfer a hundred people to Dinghai County to garrison for three months, this was something that had never happened before.

After all, which local county would dare to open this mouth?

This Chu Xian just dared, and it didn't seem to have the slightest bit of emptiness, didn't he know that this was not a matter of his own decision, it was to be reported to the military government, at least with the consent of the adjutant of the military government, and the big seal could be stamped.

At that moment, the Lord of the Mansion smiled.

Chu Xian didn't laugh, and it was extremely serious, this time, the government order laughed twice, closed his voice, and stared at Chu Xian for a long time before he said: "Chu Xiancheng, do you know, what are you talking about?"

"The lower officials know, and it is precisely because they know that they will dare to ask for a transfer. Chu Xian bowed and said.

The government decree shook his head.

"It can't be done, this matter can't be done, how can it be so easy to mobilize the army? Don't mention this matter again, as for the house, armor and weapons, this official can give special permission to prepare some for you to take back, and don't mention the rest." ”

Chu Xian did not continue to insist.

He knew that some words were useless. In the final analysis, it was this Mansion Commander who didn't believe in the fact that the Demon Clan was about to invade at all, so even if Chu Xian said that it was out of the blue, it would be useless.

People reject from the heart.

Besides, it's annoying.

Out of the city, Chu Xian was not particularly disappointed, this ending, he had already expected it, but fortunately, this time it was not without gain, at least he could mobilize a batch of armor and weapons to go back, which was already a great help.

Chu Xian thought about it, took the approval document, and directly brought back two hundred sets of armor, two hundred sets of weapons, bows and crossbows and arrows, as many as you want, with these, and then think of recruiting county soldiers, and with a little training in your own way, you can form combat power.

Luckily, the snow season is still two months away, and it should be fine for those two months.

Relaxed, Chu Xian waited for the approval to come down, and at the same time took Qi Chengxiang, Luo Yong and Xia Bozhong to go around the city in the west of the town, after all, this is the largest city in the border, with a long history, I don't know how many Terran heroes have been produced and how many deeds have been produced.

The most recent one, it is said that fifty years ago, known as 100,000 demon troops to attack, the general who defended the city was the loyal general, the martial saint Qi Yun, at that time this martial saint with 10,000 elite soldiers, resisted the 100,000 demon army for a month, killed an unknown number of demon powers, the city was full of blood, and finally forced the demon army to retreat and achieve a brilliant victory.

In the realm of martial arts, "refining the body and generating essence" is acquired, "refining and refining qi" is called congenital, "refining qi and transforming gods" is called grandmasters, and "refining gods and entering the Tao" respects martial saints.

A martial saint, within a distance of 100 zhang, is enough to easily destroy the magic and Taoist cultivation of the Law Body realm, not to mention, it is the four-rank loyal general of the Holy Dynasty, the existence of the god of war.

Even now, there is a war halberd left in a place in the city, and the war halberd is inserted into the masonry ground, and cracks are shaken out around it.

This is a demon king sneaking into the city that year, but was discovered by Qi Yun, a loyal general on the city wall, at least one hundred and fifty zhang away, he actually took the war halberd in the hand of the sergeant next to him, and threw it in the air, and the war halberd was like lightning, and he killed the demon king through the chest.

What kind of power is this?

In Chu Xian's opinion, that General Qi Yun's martial arts have reached the peak, and the battle halberd is wrapped with the domineering spirit of the martial saint, and the battle halberd is equivalent to the invincibility of the hegemon, not to mention a demon king, no matter how powerful the demon clan overhaul, he can't bear it.

At this moment, Chu Xian and the others looked at the halberd in front of them, which had been regarded as a monument, and admired the glory of their ancestors.

At that moment, a voice rang out from the side.

"This fellow Daoist, you have had a bloody disaster recently. ”

Chu Xian was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked, not far from the side of the road, an old man dressed as a Taoist priest was sitting on the ground, his clothes were ragged, and the robe was so torn that there was nowhere to make up for it, not only broken, but also dirty, and some places were black, and I don't know how long it had not been washed. There is also a banner next to the old Taoist priest, with four big characters written on it: "Divination and Asking the Sky".

Obviously, this old way is talking to Chu Xian.

Chu Xian glanced at this old way, smiled slightly, and walked over.

"This old Taoist can't speak, and wherever he sees people, he will say that there is a disaster of blood and light. Xia Bozhong didn't believe this, he frowned at the moment and said, for a scholar like him, of course he doesn't believe in divination and asking the sky.

Chu Xian knows that there are strange people in this world, and there is really a method of divination, which can penetrate the heavens, but there are very few such people, and everything is not without a price.

If you look at the heavens, you will be devoured by the way of heaven, and you will not see those who are really capable of hexagrams, either alone, childless, or poor, or seriously ill, and almost none of them can get a good death.

If anyone can make a fortune by fortune-telling, there is no doubt that he is definitely a liar.

Hearing Xia Bozhong's words, the old Taoist priest was not happy, and immediately shouted: "Hey, don't believe it, you scholar, just say that a few days ago, you almost died in Huangquan, is this a disaster of blood and light?"

Xia Bozhong still wanted to refute, but immediately thought of the previous attack on the broken temple, and his face changed at the moment, and he was silent, because according to this, this old Taoist priest was not wrong.

A few days ago, it was really a bloody disaster.

But how did this old Taoist priest see it? Could it really be a divination?

At this moment, Chu Xian waved his sleeves slightly, and it was vaguely seen that there were fish shadows swimming between his sleeves, rippling water, and the next moment, including Xia Bozhong and Qi Chengxiang, except for Chu Xian and the old Taoist, everyone on this small street seemed to be frozen, motionless.

The old Taoist priest jumped up from the ground in shock, stared at his eyes and shouted: "Good means, good means, what is this? ”

Chu Xian was unmoved, stared at the old man with a pair of eyes, and said: "Dressed in a hundred diseases and holding a four-elephant dividing heavenly flag, isn't this a famous old man of Tianji, but I didn't expect that you would come to this bitter cold place." ”

Chu Xian recognized this old Taoist.

The identity of the old man of Tianji is a mystery, and he is good at divination, and the art of divination is divided into two ways: big and small, the small road looks at the past, and the avenue peeks into the future.

Nine out of nine people in the world can only practice divination and calculation, that is, to look at the past and calculate what has happened in the past, and only a very few people have the ability to peek into the future and explore those things that have not yet happened.

The old man of Tianji is one of the very few people who can peek into the future.

The clothes of all diseases and the four elephants are the signs of this old man, but not everyone knows it, but many people know it.

Therefore, Chu Xian's actions will not arouse any suspicion, it can only show that he has a wide range of knowledge.
