Zongman: Is this how it’s sewn?

Chapter 201 199. The Heart of the Red Dust, the Kingdom of Imagination

After several hours of sailing, Xu Zhenqing and Yan left the country, left the earth, left the solar system, left the Milky Way, and arrived at the Fraser star at the edge of the universe.

Xu Zhenqing did not join any faction, but strolled leisurely in a border city of the Holy Ailan Empire.

At present, the barbarians in the north seem to be driven, dragging their families and moving south in batches. This would only happen in the entire history of Fraser when the northern climate was difficult to survive. It is extremely abnormal in this warm season.

At least this city bordering the northern barbarians is in flames. It can be deduced that the city will run out of ammunition and food the next day. According to the tradition of the barbarians, they will definitely plunder the place.

This was all because three months ago, the barbarian warriors led by the northern leader Taishneff and the Holy Alan Knights led by the southern leader Aenesid won the battle in the Ebius Mountains, which borders the north and the south.

The war lasted for three months. Under the command of their queen, the knights of Holy Alan advanced step by step, crushing the northern barbarians with their strong discipline and combat equipment.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Holy Ailan Empire was about to win.

However, things did not go as planned. Sejuani, the leader of the Winter's Claw tribe in the west, did not want the Aeneid family to dominate the world, so she formed a strategic alliance with Taesneff.

Attacking troops from the west, cooperating with the barbarians on the front battlefield, they launched a surprise attack on the Holy Alan Legion's battle formation, and then launched a pincer attack to invade the cities along the way.

Fraser, with its backward technology, does not have the communication capabilities of a university to report the battle situation in a timely manner. Under attack from both inside and outside, the Holy Ailan Empire is now on the decline and is neither a holy empire nor an empire.

After the Winter Claw, led by the Berserker Olaf, broke up Aeneid's troops, there was no organized army left and people from all over surrendered.

Aeneid was injured and hid in a cave with a few personal guards. Yan went to protect him. After all, he was the crown prince of angels. This time the northern barbarians went south because they were driven by demons. It could not be considered cheating. He was just restoring order.

Xu Zhenqing told Yan that he would insist on carrying out the tasks assigned by the higher authorities, establish diplomatic relations peacefully, and never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

Also, they are too lazy to care about these wars in the cold weapon era. According to the rules of angels, they are not allowed to show extraordinary powers. It is a pure waste of energy.

When a hungry child grabbed his trouser leg, Xu Zhenqing paused, but did not care how dirty the child's hands were. He just touched the child's head, ate his own cake, and waved his hand to indicate that he had no more to eat.

Saving people is easy, saving the world is hard. These people aren't like the ancients, eating tree roots and Guanyin soil. If the city is breached the next day, they'll die. What's the point of saving them? What's the point of living one more day? Are they being pretentious in front of Angel Yan?

Save this city, and the barbarians outside who are seeking to survive will die.

Xu Zhenqing came to his tavern and saw someone giving a speech. He said, "There's actually food in the city, but it takes 100 catties of silver coins to buy one catty of rice. That's so much money that you need a cart to move it."

"I saw people dumping food outside the city."

"Aren't there only barbarians outside?"

"The barbarians are sending gold coins to the city wall."

"Damn city lord, damn profiteer."

"Ahem." Xu Zhenqing coughed a few times, then pointed at the knights patrolling outside and said, "Don't talk about state affairs."

In an instant, the entire tavern fell silent, with only the sound of glasses clinking. These people with spare money all had food at home.

Xu Zhenqing walked to the door and looked at the raging fire in the city. Everyone was frightened. They were grabbing food, money, and women. The city was in chaos.

He shook his head impassively. The fire was accidental, but also inevitable. The dry weather had drained the stone vats that had been used to prevent flooding. The city lord was inspecting the grain reserves, and with such a great opportunity to make a fortune, where was the remaining grain? It had all been sold. The city lord's daughter, Lanni, approached. She knelt before Xu Zhenqing and said, "Sir, you possess profound abilities. Please save the people of this city."

Xu Zhenqing felt funny. Tian Shi Yan had already warned the other party's father at that time. Now that she left, she came again.

"How many personal guards do you have?" Xu Zhenqing looked at the other person's slightly rough face and the strange lines on his arms.

Lani lowered her head and replied, "My father gave me a hundred men."

"Let's kill these criminals first." Xu Zhenqing said nothing more.

The knight raised his butcher knife and swung it at the rioting crowd. This tactic quickly worked because the organized army was not something that civilians could resist.

"Sir, there is no food in the city. Even with the food provided by those corrupt officials, it will not last more than three days."

"First, plunder all the food in the city and distribute it uniformly. Grind the wood into powder, mix it with some earth to make flour, and also..." Xu Zhenqing taught the Chinese ancestors the life-saving skills in disasters one by one.

This world is still too well protected by angels.

After these people left, Xu Zhenqing opened his belly, and a tentacle emerged from his belly button. Five buds sprouted like five fingers, making a scissors hand gesture.

Xu Zhenqing smashed the tentacle with a punch without any expression. It is reasonable that rock beats scissors.

A red creature with fangs stuck out its tongue and was then killed by Xu Zhenqing. Since all the people on Earth have been injected with T virus enhancement fluid, sneezing spreads the virus, so it is reasonable for lickers to appear.

"The evil god has descended, demons are rampant, and there are alien creatures. This is really chaos upon chaos." Xu Zhenqing held his forehead, spread his wings, flew high into the sky, and looked down at the few living beings.

After a night, Xu Zhenqing witnessed Lanny's change from being full of hope to despair when the city gate was broken. Xu Zhenqing only promised that there would be a way to provide disaster relief, but he could not guarantee that the city could be defended.

In the city lord's mansion, the city lord was holding a bloody sword. He had just killed his first wife. He looked at his lifeless daughter and swung the sword to cut her down.

Lanny raised her hand, but her arm was chopped off, and she burst into tears. The city lord softened his heart and allowed his men to rescue his daughter.

The city lord drew his sword and committed suicide, and then his servants gathered fire and burned the city lord's mansion.

Xu Zhenqing was like a spectator, watching quietly, not getting into the play, and not being noticed by anyone.

A green-skinned man with compound eyes rushed out. Xu Zhenqing recognized that the other party was the hungry child who asked him for help, so he killed him with one finger, helping the child end his painful life.

Most of those who can sense Xu Zhenqing have some supernatural powers, and ordinary people do not have this spiritual perception.

These days, Xu Zhenqing has played various roles and often appeared in his dreams. He has also guided some ordinary people in getting rich, only to see them exploited by the powerful, and given high-yield seeds to old farmers, only to see them not dare to act because of their conservativeness. One thing after another, the hustle and bustle of the world could not shake his state of mind in the slightest.

The worldly affairs temper one's heart, and one uses his body as a boat to sail through the sea of ​​suffering. If he does not turn back, he will find shore. He only knows what is in his heart and what is at peace.

Treating the entire Fraser as a utopian kingdom, Xu Zhenqing wanted to see whether, in such a desperate situation, a touch of brilliance could burst forth to illuminate the world.

　I'm sorry for not being able to update on time this time. I won't give any excuses. I will update one more chapter during the day on the 11th, which means there will be three chapters in total. The time is not fixed. I will post the remaining two chapters when they are finished.
