Translator: 549690339
“My ancestors have lived in Chen City for generations, and now you’re saying that I can’t enter?”
Third Brother Qi couldn’t care less. If he left Chen City again, his family would starve to death.
Third Brother Qi immediately made up his mind and wanted to rush in.
However, the hungry and cold Third Brother was no match for the guards. The guard casually slapped Third Brother Qi to the ground.
“Get lost! If you dare to cause trouble again, do you believe that 1 will chop you up with a knife!”
“Chop me up! If 1 can’t enter Chen City, I’ll die anyway. I might as well die here!”
Third Brother Qi wanted to barge into the city again.
As for the guard, he wasn’t joking either. Seeing that Third Brother Qi was stubborn, he immediately pulled out his saber and prepared to chop down. “Wait!”
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the city gate. Then, a man dressed in farmer’s clothes rushed out and stood in front of Third Brother Qi.
“Greetings, Master Tenant.” When the guard saw this person, he quickly put away his demon knife.
The tenant cupped his hands at the guard.” This person is my good-for-nothing brother. Can you spare his life for my sake?””
“Old tenant, people who run away from Chen City cannot return to Chen City. This is the rule set by the Chen family. Don’t make things difficult for me.”The guard frowned.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let them in. 1 only beg you to let them go and spare their lives.”Qi Lao Er continued to plead.
The guard looked at Second Brother Qi and said,””Forget it, I’ll give the old master some face and let him off today.”
“However, if you dare to barge into the city again, don’t blame me for not giving you face.”
“Thank you, thank you.”
Second Brother smiled apologetically and looked at Third Brother.” Bastard, why aren’t you coming with me?”
Third Brother Qi was stunned by what he saw. He was just a rich farmer. When did he become a master?
Forget about the old master, what was the situation with the tenant master?
Shouldn’t tenants be the lowest people in the entire city?
No matter how much Qi Laosan was thinking, he knew that he could only survive by following his second brother.
Then, Second Brother Qi brought Third Brother Qi to a dilapidated courtyard outside Chen City.” Third Brother, you can stay here for now.””
“Although the Chen family doesn’t allow you to enter the city, you’re still allowed to live outside the city. This courtyard belongs to your second brother. As long as you don’t go out for a stroll, no one will disturb you.”
“When the famine is over, you can go to other cities to make a living. As for now, 1 can take care of your food.”
At this point, Qi Lao Er did not want to say anything more. He shook his head and planned to leave.
At this moment, Third Brother grabbed Second Brother’s arm.” Second Brother, can 1 really not go back?”
Qi Lao Er didn’t say anything and just shook his head.
Pa!
When Third Brother saw this, he slapped himself hard. Why was he blinded by greed back then? If he had followed Second Brother and stayed in Chen City, wouldn’t he be the old master himself?
“What’s the use of regretting now?”
After letting out a faint sigh, Second Brother Qi left the courtyard.
Third Brother Qi was an example of everyone who had fled Chen City and returned.
Some people, like Third Brother Qi, had relatives in Chen City and could help. As for those without relatives, they could only leave it to fate.
At the same time, in Chen City, in the meeting hall of the Chen family.
“Family Head, recently, there have been a lot of people fleeing from the famine in Song City. A rough estimate is that there are at least 300,000 people.”
“These 300,000 people, how should we arrange them?”Chen Xuan asked.
“300,000?” Yang Chen was stunned. How long had it been since the rumors were spread? And 300,000 people had already come. If it was too long, wouldn’t millions of people come?
“That’s right, 300,000 people.” Chen Xuan nodded and then smiled.”The Song Clan controls half of Nanyang County’s territory and has twenty million people under them.”
“But after the demon horde, we lost at least thirteen million.
Although they had absorbed quite a number of people from other cities, the total number was still less than half of the peak.”
“These 300,000 people are no small matter to Song Cheng.
Thirty today, thirty tomorrow. It wouldn’t be long before the Song family’s rank fell.”
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan could not hide the joy in his heart. He even threw the matter of how to arrange these 300,000 people to the back of his mind.
Yang Chen also laughed,”! think the Song family is anxious now and wants to deal with my Chen family.””
“However…” Chen Xuan’s eyes turned.” No matter what the Song family has planned, I have a way to deal with it.”
“Report!”
“Reporting to the family head, the patrolling family of the Endless Mountain has reported that the demon beasts have made strange movements again. It seems that there are signs of advancing towards Chen City.”
At this moment, the guard suddenly came to report.
“Demonic beasts are here again?” Chen Yang was convinced. He was just about to cause trouble for the Song family when this demon beast came out to liven up the atmosphere.
“Grand Elder, I have a way to settle these three hundred thousand people. Outside of Chen City, near the Endless Mountain Range, build a pass for me!”
“I want to use this pass to block the road between the Endless Mountains and Chen City. Let’s see how this group of animals will come out and cause trouble!”
“Pass?” Chen Xuan was stunned and confirmed again and again,”Master, you mean to build a large-scale pass?””
“That’s right.” Chen Yang nodded,” This pass is located at the easternmost part of Chen City’s forces in the east and the westernmost part of Chen City’s forces in the west.”
“As for the north-south direction, expand it for me. At the very least, it has to reach half of the north-south length of our territory.”
Hearing Chen Yang’s description, Chen Xuan took a deep breath. This was not a pass. It was clearly an oversized city wall.
“From west to east, hiss! Patriarch, this is not something that can be built in a short period of time.”
“It doesn’t matter. In the next ten years, what we don’t lack the most is people.”
“And even if the famine ends, they will have gotten used to staying in Chen City. They can still build the pass. However, we won’t be able to pay for the food.”
Hearing Chen Yang’s plan, Chen Xuan understood. Then, he said,”I understand. 1’11 make the arrangements immediately.”
“Alright, but before that, let’s chase these beasts back to the Endless Mountain Range.”
Chen Yang thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Xuan.” First Elder, the Dragon Cavalry has been established for so long. It’s time to see blood.”” “Understood!” Chen Xuan nodded.
Outside Chen City, in the Chen Family Horse Farm.
Chen Xuan came in front of Chen Dao and patted his shoulder.”Son, this is the first test the patriarch has given you. Don’t disappoint him.”
Chen Dao, who was wearing fine iron armor, grinned when he heard this.” Don’t worry, Father. We will definitely show off the might of the Dragon Cavalry in this battle!”
Immediately, Chen Dao whistled and a Flaming Mane Horse ran in front of him.
Then, Chen Dao jumped onto the horse’s back and shouted,””Dragon Cavalry Guards, set off!”
