Chapter 333: Chaos in the North, Jingguo Invasion

Without showing favoritism, Xiao Ying also gave each of the other disciples who were traveling with him a contracted beast at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Since Chen Xinghai already had one, he did not sign another one this time.

He has already obtained many treasures related to alchemy and is very satisfied.

After searching this mountain, only the last one is left.

This is an ordinary mountain range with some caves for disciples to live in. Some good things have been found in these caves.

But overall, it is definitely not as good as the first two.

Finally, there are the spiritual fields located between these mountains, which are over a thousand acres in size and grow all kinds of mature spiritual plants and medicines.

Xiao Ying was both happy and distressed, as this meant that he would have to hire another group of people to farm the land, and the number would be large.

Now there are more than 300 people farming in the fairy palace, forming two small villages with a planting area of ​​500 to 600 acres.

This time, there are thousands of acres of new crops, which is equivalent to requiring another two to three hundred people. She feels that the dental shops in Yun'an County are not enough to buy them.

But in this way, it will be very lively here, and perhaps a market can be formed.

"This place is really getting bigger and bigger. I can't imagine what the scene will be like when Mom reaches a higher level next time."

Chen Xingyue couldn't help but sigh, this time she really understood the true meaning of the word "Xianfu".

I still remember the first time my mother brought me in, there was only a mountain inside and a classroom on the mountain.

Now, the number of fairy mountains has increased to six, and the area has expanded many times.

"There should be more immortal mountains." Xiao Ying said thoughtfully: "In fact, there are still many important sect buildings that have not yet appeared."

For example, the Ceremony Hall, the Mission Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, and even the main hall of the sect belonging to the outer sect were not seen.

Everyone looked expectant, and were amazed and curious about how big this fairy palace was.

Can their Xiaoyao Sect become so big in the future?

Xiao Ying naturally hoped that it could be expanded to this size, but that would take a long time.

After coming out of the Immortal Palace, she brought Chen Xingyue and Meng Qingying out, and asked them to be responsible for the teaching tasks of Xiaoyao Sect in the future, mainly teaching magic and swordsmanship.

The two of them happily agreed, but at the same time they were a little nervous, afraid that they would not do well.

"You are all the best talents in the sect. You must believe that you can do well."

Xiao Ying encouraged with a smile. She saw the abilities and character of these two children, so she was willing to give them this opportunity.

The two were immediately encouraged and gained more confidence.

"Please rest assured, Mother/Master, we will definitely live up to your high expectations!"

After sending them away, Xiao Ying called Kang Ruolan again and asked her to find an opportunity to buy some more people to farm, with the number not less than 500.

Kang Ruolan responded, secretly sighing that the lady's business was really getting bigger and bigger.

"But I'm afraid this number will be divided into at least two or three times. There haven't been many disaster victims recently, so there aren't that many people being sold to pawnshops."

"No rush, just take your time."

Xiao Ying didn't expect to replenish all of it at once. After all, the crops in the fairy palace would not go bad if they were not harvested.

She even hoped that no one would be sold again and no one would become a disaster victim again.

It’s a pity that this wish is destined to be unfulfilled.

In the northern border area unknown to her, a well-trained army of Jing country monks suddenly crossed the mountains and launched a surprise attack, directly slaughtering two villages on the Qingzhou border, causing great panic!

Upon hearing this, Han Ce, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, became furious. The other soldiers were also in disbelief and volunteered to go into battle.

"Damn it! If you're brave enough, just come to Beizhou! I just built the city wall and was waiting for them to come, but they ended up going to Qingzhou!"

Deputy General Huang Tong cursed loudly, his big black face turned red, and he seemed to be furious.

"These bastards only know how to pick on the weak. They must have noticed that our city walls are higher, so they don't dare to come through here."

Suddenly someone echoed.

"The city walls of Qingzhou haven't been expanded yet, so they are indeed easier to attack. General, I beg to join the battle!"

"General, let me go. I will make sure those bastards never come back!"

“…”

There was a lot of noise in the tent, but no one retreated, including the brothers Han Ye and Han Xi.

Marquis Zhenyuan waved his hand with a solemn look on his face, and finally ordered his eldest son Han Ye to lead troops to provide support.

Han Ye accepted the order in a critical moment and remained calm. He mobilized 8,000 soldiers and horses to Qingzhou that day.

The others also made their own preparations and were ready to go.

Jing State may not attack only from Qingzhou this time. That place may be a cover, and they also have to defend Beizhou.

Marquis Zhenyuan wrote another letter, which was sent back to the court at an urgent speed of 600 miles to report and request the mobilization of food and fodder.

It turns out that Qingzhou and Beizhou are connected and both belong to the northern border.

However, Qingzhou has a dangerous terrain, the area bordering Jing State is not large, and there are extremely vast mountains and forests.

Over the past thousands of years, Jing State invaded from Qingzhou only a few times, and most of the time it attacked from Beizhou.

That is why Marquis Zhenyuan and his army were stationed in Beizhou.

As for Qingzhou, only an army of 30,000 was stationed there just in case.

However, they did not expect that this time Jingguo would attack from Qingzhou and directly dispatch an army of monks, which caught them off guard!

Monks are precious and therefore will never use them lightly.

Only at the last moment will it be used as a key measure to turn the tide.

But who would have thought that Jingguo would use it right from the start this time, and massacre the villagers. How hateful!

Marquis Zhenyuan also has an army of monks under his command, but only a very few people know the exact number and strength. They are affiliated with the royal family.

He had a hunch that this invasion by Jing State was not a good one and might not stop easily.

The country has suffered many disasters in the past two years. A severe drought occurred not long ago, causing countless people to be displaced and forced to flee from famine.

Now that the country is being invaded by Jing State, he is really worried about the national treasury and doesn't know whether the food and grass can be supplied.

The Yue Kingdom has military settlements, and the soldiers in the northern border usually open up wasteland and farm in addition to training.

When the harvest is good, it can supply the army for the whole year, but with a severe drought like this year, there is basically no harvest.

Marquis Zhenyuan was worried, vaguely feeling that Jingguo had deliberately chosen this opportunity.

When war breaks out, how many people in the northern border will have to flee the war? The people of Qingzhou do not trust the border troops as much as the people of the northern provinces do.

…

Xiao Ying was naturally unaware of all this.

That day, she took Lingyun to the mountains.

The first batch of crops planted in the mountains are finally ripe!

These fields cover hundreds of acres: sweet potatoes, corn, rapeseed, potatoes, peppers, high-yield rice and even wheat are all planted there.

Moreover, because they are covered by the spirit gathering formation, these crops are full of spiritual energy, and their yield is not inferior to that of the immortal palace.

Even though they watched the crops grow day by day, when the harvest came, the people couldn't help but cry with joy.

This was the first time in their lives that they had grown such a high-yield crop!

It turns out that the lady really didn't lie to them, and that one can make a lot of money by farming!

"Ten thousand pounds!"

"Madam, these potatoes actually yield 10,000 kilograms per mu!"
