"Master Chen, where are you going? Do you know where the front is?"
Liu Ran couldn't help but ask.
"I know. Isn't Nanming Mountain ahead?"
Chen Yu spoke very naturally.
Yes, his target is Nanming Mountain!
Instead of waiting for Nan Dou Xuan Zong to cause trouble, it is better to take the initiative.
This is Chen Yu’s plan!
Now that I'm at their base, I think I'll be able to succeed in my demise.
Liu Ran and Liu Tao were stunned, staring at Chen Yu stupidly.
Heading to Nanming Mountain?
Oh my god, what is this operation?
Doesn’t Lord Chen know how dangerous it is to go there?
Once you get there, you'll be in danger of death.
"Sir, no! Absolutely not!"
Liu Ran hurriedly stopped him.
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Why, are you scared? You should go back. I can handle it alone."
After saying that, Chen Yu continued to ride forward on his horse.
"Sister, what should we do? Master Chen must be crazy."
Liu Ran bit her lower lip and stared at Chen Yu's back.
"Follow him! I must see with my own eyes what Master Chen is planning to do!"
Urging their horses, the two men rushed out like arrows and caught up with Chen Yu.
Chen Yu glanced at the two of them and sighed helplessly.
These two guys are really like dog-skin plasters, so annoying!
Helplessly, the three of them continued on their journey, and half a day later, they arrived at a town at the foot of Nanming Mountain.
Once you get here, you no longer need horses.
Chen Yu directly dispersed the steed transformed from his literary energy and walked on the long street of the town.
The whole town was busy and everyone was working hard.
Truckloads of golden oranges are being transported in the same direction.
These oranges are huge, each one is the size of a watermelon, and have a rich fruity aroma that is very impressive.
"Is this the Nanming Fire Orange? It's really good."
Liu Ran looked at the oranges and nodded.
"You know these things?"
Chen Yu was a little curious.
He had never seen oranges like this before.
Liu Ran nodded.
"I've seen it. It's a specialty of Aozhou. It's said that the production is very scarce. Before it enters the market, it will be consumed internally."
"I was lucky enough to eat it once, and it was indeed very good, but the price was also surprisingly high."
"But now it seems that the yield of these oranges is not small."
Liu Ran frowned and looked at the busy people in the town, feeling very puzzled.
Chen Yu stopped an old man and asked about the situation.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
"Hey, today is Tribute Orange Day. We need to deliver all the Nanming Fire Oranges to the town center square. The Immortal Master will be here soon to pick them."
After the old man finished speaking, he hurried away with his two sons, pushing the oranges.
Chen Yu and the other two looked at each other and were stunned.
"Gongcheng Day? The Immortal Master's selection? Let's go and take a look."
The three followed the crowd and came to the town center square.
The square is extremely large, with truckloads of Nanming Fire Oranges piled up here, which is very spectacular.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ran couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Oh my god, I never thought the production of Nanming Fire Orange would be so large."
Chen Yu looked around and found that many people in the town were gathered here, and everyone looked a little nervous.
The old man who had stopped them earlier was not far away from them.
Chen Yu walked over and said, "Old man, what are you doing?"
The old man looked at Chen Yu and said, "You are not from our town, no wonder you don't know."
"We are all fruit farmers, and have made a living by managing orchards for generations. Normally, the oranges here are just better than those from other places."
"But more than a decade ago, the oranges here mutated and suddenly became exceptionally good. This was known to the county governor, Zhao Boshen, who reported it to Nandou Xuanzong."
"Later, people from the Southern Dipper Xuan Sect came and said there was a small mysterious vein here that caused the orange to mutate."
"From then on, Nan Dou Xuan Zong directly required all oranges to be tributed to them, and we became Nan Dou Xuan Zong's orange growers."
"The land here was originally ours, but it was taken away by the Southern Dou Xuan Sect and became their sect's property."
Chen Yu's face immediately darkened when he heard this.
Land is the foundation of a country!
But what about now?
Just because of some oranges, the territory of Daqin was occupied by a sect?
And these fruit farmers have become slaves of these sects!
"What's wrong with the county governor here? How could he just sit there and watch something like this happen?" Chen Yu was furious.
The old man gave a bitter laugh and said, "The county governor didn't just sit there and watch. It was Zhao Boshen who proposed to give this land to the Nandou Xuanzong!"
"What? He's so brave!"
Chen Yu didn't say anything, but Liu Ran was angry.
Although Liuzhou had tried to curry favor with the Immortal Sect in the past, there was a bottom line.
The Great Qin is indivisible, this is an iron rule!
But now, a small county magistrate actually dared to do such a thing?
"Hush! Be careful with your words, be careful with your words!"
The old man looked panicked and quickly signaled Liu Ran to stop talking.
The old man sighed and looked sad again.
"Hey, I originally thought that if we planted oranges for the Immortal Sect, our lives might be a little better. But the Immortal Sect doesn't treat us as human beings at all. The oranges are getting better and better, but our lives are getting worse and worse."
"Today is the annual day when Emperor Xuanzong of the Southern Dipper collects the Nanming Fire Oranges. We have been cultivating the land for a year, and today is the day to pay tribute and be evaluated."
