The fish pond connects the past and present, and the tyrants of the fallen country seek fame every d

The military advisor struggled to get up, spitting out blood foam mixed with broken teeth.

Zhang Long actually knocked out his teeth, but showed no apology at all.

"This is the power of the essence of the sun and the moon. When my divine power is fully developed, not to mention Xiao Yanheng alone, even if he brings his entire army, they will not be my match."

After saying that, Zhang Long waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay, you have nothing to do here. Don't disturb my peace. Go somewhere else."

Immortal Bai Ming nodded with satisfaction and continued to guide Zhang Long in his practice.

The military advisor had no choice but to leave sadly.

After two days of waiting, everything outside the city seemed calm.

However, without Xiao Yanheng's order, a soldier opened the city gate without authorization.

Long Fei kicked the soldier on the buttocks, "You are quite courageous! Do you know whose territory this is? How dare you mess around? Are you tired of living?"

The soldier looked up and looked at Long Fei coldly.

"This is an order from above. I am just carrying it out in advance. You will be punished by heaven for bullying me like this."

"God's punishment?"

The soldier sneered.

"This is the first time I've heard that I will be punished by God. So I'll kill you first and see if God's punishment will come with me."

After saying this, Long Fei raised his knife.

"How could you be so cruel? Even though he has done something wrong, he is still a citizen of the Great Wei!"

At this time, an old woman stood up.

Looking at his mother-in-law with a dark yellow face, Long Fei couldn't help but grin.

Long Fei immediately put his hands behind his back and looked at the speaker with a smile on his face.

My mother-in-law was a little frightened by this look, and when she stepped back, she accidentally stepped on a stone and slipped.

In an instant, my mother-in-law sat down on the ground.

She pointed at Long Fei with trembling fingers.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Long Fei immediately sneered, "Don't you think I'm cruel? Are you really just looking forward to getting some fresh air?"

"What do you mean?"

Before the mother-in-law finished speaking, Long Fei gave his men another look.

"Since Auntie is so eager to go out into the world, we naturally can't stop her. Come quickly, make way for her and let her go out for a walk."

When she heard that she was going to be sent out of the city, my mother-in-law immediately panicked.

And those who had just clamored to leave the city also retreated immediately.

Although they want to leave, it doesn't mean they are really ready to die.

Grandma raised her voice and shouted, "Come and see, folks! The officials are trying to kick us old bones out of town, saying we're useless!"

"Don't act like a spoiled child here!" Long Fei glared at his mother-in-law. "You were the one who said you wanted to leave just now, and I helped you out of kindness. Why am I the one who's to blame now?"

The subordinates seemed to be in a dilemma.

The emperor had recently specifically instructed us not to act rashly, so it seems inappropriate to expel the people directly now.

Long Fei also had a lot of grievances in his heart that he couldn't express.

But if he doesn't kill one to warn the rest, how can he establish his prestige?

After hesitating for a moment, Long Fei turned to a young officer beside him.

He pointed at the officer and said, "You, come here."

Hearing the call, the young officer quickly looked up, trotted to Long Fei, and looked at him blankly.

"General Long, what are your orders?"

Long Fei pointed at the crowd again and said, "Keep a close eye on them. If anyone wants to leave, don't stop them. Let them go."

"Yes, General."

Seeing that the officer agreed, Long Fei glanced at the crowd again.

Everyone was frightened by his eyes and stepped back.

Seeing this, Long Fei snorted again.

"Your Majesty is kindhearted, but I, the general, want to punish a few unruly people today. If anyone causes trouble again, I will send them all out of the city without mercy."

After shocking everyone, Long Fei turned around and left.

In the Qilin Hall, Xiao Yanheng was discussing store matters with Xiao Lishi when Long Fei came in.

Long Fei immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Yanheng and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, those people are really going too far. Please allow us to truly open the city gates."

Xiao Yanheng glanced at Long Fei indifferently.

"Are you in conflict with them again?"

Unexpectedly, the emperor was so observant. Long Fei coughed awkwardly.

Then, lowering his voice, he defended himself, "I did not intend to argue with them. It is simply because they have gone too far. I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for me."

"Your actions must be effective. Deterrence measures are acceptable, but the city gates must be opened eventually."

After Xiao Yanheng finished speaking, his brows were furrowed and a look of worry appeared on his face.

Realizing that the situation might be more complicated than he had imagined, Long Fei hesitated and asked again.

"Your Majesty, is there something else going on?"

Xiao Yanheng nodded slightly.

"There's very little food left in the city, and those people are slow to pay for supplies. The treasury is empty, and we have no money left."

His words were so frank and direct that Long Fei was completely stunned.

The treasury is empty?

Long Fei immediately looked at Xiao Lishi.

Xiao Lishi gave a wry smile and raised his hands in surrender: "You see, I can't solve this either. I've been working overtime for the store these past few days, and my limited money is now completely gone."

"What should we do? How about we ask the gods to give us some credit first?"

As soon as he said this, Long Fei felt a chilling gaze fixed on his neck.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Long Fei immediately covered his mouth with an embarrassed look on his face.

"I was wrong. I said something inappropriate. I'm sorry."

Only then did Xiao Yanheng withdraw his scrutinizing gaze.

"I am lucky that she is willing to help me; if she is not willing, I will have to bear the consequences."

Seeing that he had great respect for this immortal, Xiao Lishi thought for a moment and made a bolder suggestion:

"Royal brother, since the immortals are so powerful and omnipotent, why not ask them to help us prepare some weapons that suit our needs? I have several pieces of calligraphy, paintings, and poetry from the Li Dynasty in my mansion. I think they are quite valuable and the immortals would be interested."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yanheng was met with a cold look.

He quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Just pretend I didn't say that."

Long Fei thought this was a good idea and was already thinking about how to teach Zhang Long and his men a lesson with weapons.

"Your Majesty, I feel that—"

"If you keep talking nonsense, you will go to the mountains to catch Zhang Long alone." Xiao Yanheng said coldly.

The negotiations were fruitless, Long Fei pursed his lips and chose to remain silent.

After the emperor left, Long Fei turned to Xiao Lishi.

"Your Majesty, you have a close relationship with His Majesty. Next time you write, could you please ask the gods for a favor on our behalf?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lishi widened his eyes and looked horrified.

"Long Fei, are you upset that I didn't die because of you? Do you have to make me suffer again?"

After saying that, Xiao Lishi quickly distanced himself from Long Fei.

Long Fei shook his head in disappointment, thinking that these people were really ignorant.

If you can just go find a god, why go through so much trouble!

In the next few days, Zhang Long still stayed in the mountains, but he lured many children up the mountain.

On this day, an old general walked into the Qilin Hall with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, can you try to contact the gods again?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yanheng raised his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Pingshun's eyes were red and he fell to his knees.

"The drought has been long and rainless, and the crops in the fields have withered. Unscrupulous merchants inside and outside the city are colluding to drive up food prices, and the people are starving. Your Majesty, the Great Wei is in danger!"

Xiao Yanheng was shocked and stood up suddenly.
