Chapter 479 Liaoji Prefecture
Chapter 479 Liaoji Prefecture
Qin Yu and the others drove the Thunder God to Huoying County on the border of Chitu Prefecture. Originally, Huoying County served as a trade gateway between the two countries many years ago and was quite prosperous.
However, due to years of war, the trade gateways have long been closed, and a large number of people have fled, commercial agriculture is no longer possible.
Today, the population of Huoying County has been reduced to ten, and it looks like a desolate scene.
Now there are only travelers, caravans and explorers coming and going, and the public security is very poor.
After Qin Yu and the others arrived at Huoying County, they originally thought that they would not be able to pass through the pass. However, they had a pass issued by the royal family and could travel freely anywhere in the Kingdom of God.
But I didn't expect that the Huoying County border guard would dare to stop them from passing. They said that the number of people was not stated in the pass order, so only Qin Yu could pass, but not Hong Lian and Di.
Qin Yu could tell at a glance that the other party wanted to ask for benefits. Maybe he would have given them before, but this time was different from the past.
Qin Yu showed a disdainful smile to the guard, then took Honglian and Di back. The guard looked at them with an air of dignity and said: "Humph, you have to come back sooner or later! This is the only way to leave the country. !”
After the three people left the checkpoint, Qin Yu took out the Thundergod and called Hong Lian and Di to come up.
Honglian asked: "What? No longer taking the land route?"
Qin Yu nodded and smiled: "If we don't leave, we will give you too much face. Everyone wants to take advantage of us."
Then he drove the Thor at low altitude and flew directly through the checkpoint. The guard who blocked them before remembered shouting: "Inform the commander quickly, someone broke through the checkpoint!"
The border guards directly dispatched the two strongest Tianwu realms to pursue them. As a result, before they even saw the Thor, they were directly pressed to the ground by a mountain-like pressure and embedded in the soil more than one meter deep.
When the leader of the border guard arrived on horseback, a voice came from the sky: "We don't want to hurt anyone. Next time we pass by, if we still don't change, we won't let you go!"
Mimi's voice was like the sound of heaven, and the blood surged in the chest of the commander. He knew that he had provoked an extremely terrifying existence.
After returning home, he severely punished the soldier who made things difficult for Qin Yu and others, beating him half to death, and then gave the order that no one would be allowed to take any more cards. Violators would be punished by military orders!
……
After leaving the border, you have to pass through mountains, canyons, rivers and forests, and then you will reach the territory of the Asia-New Empire.
As for why no one wants this part in the middle, one is because the terrain in this area is complex and difficult to manage, and the other is that both countries use this area as a military buffer zone. In time of war, war will take place here.
When passing by this area, Qin Yu felt the gloomy atmosphere. There were too many dead people in this place, and there was too much resentment, and evil things could easily arise!
Honglian also felt it. She even felt that the environment here was more suffocating than the ancient battlefield in the Tongshan Secret Realm.
It was just a battle in Tongshan, but countless battles have been fought here over thousands of years, and how many people have died. Over time, the accumulated resentment far exceeds that of the ancient battlefield of Tongshan.
Qin Yu asked Di if he felt anything. Di shook his head and said, "Nothing special. The air here is quite good."
Qin Yu was a little speechless, but after thinking about it, the extremely dark cave where Di lived before was ten thousand times more gloomy than this one, and when it came to evil things, he, an old vampire, was probably the strongest evil thing!
Qin Yu thought of the evil spirit army that saved him several times after conquering the Secret Realm of Copper Mountain. Unfortunately, it was completely wiped out in the Northern Thorn War.
The resentment down there is so heavy, there must be a lot of evil spirits. Do you want to catch some more?
However, I am afraid that these low-level evil spirits will be of little use in the subsequent battles, and if this continues, it will definitely disturb many dead people. After thinking about it, I let this matter go.
The Thor completed the military buffer zone in less than half a day, and the border checkpoints of the Yaxin Empire could be seen in the distance.
Guren joked: "Is this going to be a civilized and polite test or a violent test?"
Qin Yu thought for a while, they still had to deal with Liao Jizhou Jiedu Envoy, it was not suitable to cause trouble here, so he chose to get off the airship and walk there.
When passing the customs, he still used the token from Prince Jing's Mansion. To Qin Yu's surprise, the guards let him go quickly without embarrassment. It seems that the military discipline of Li Rubai's army is still good.
Li Rubai's residence is in Liaoyuan Prefecture, the capital of Liaoji Prefecture, which is still two days away from the border. After Qin Yu and the others passed the border, they boarded the Thor without stopping and set off again.
As a result, as soon as they arrived in Liaoyuan Prefecture, a group of people found them.
The leader of the Tianwu realm team leader flew directly into the sky and shouted to the Thunder God: "Is this Master Qin Yu Qin?"
Qin Yu walked from the cabin to the deck. He was very curious and replied: "Exactly. What's wrong with you?"
The man replied: "I came to meet the real person under the order of Mr. Li Rubai."
Qin Yu was surprised after hearing this. Li Rubai actually knew that they were coming. It seemed that Master Wuji had a way to notify him in advance.
So Qin Yu let all the soldiers board the Thor. It was their first time to ride on such a high-end cargo, and they were all very novel.
The leading captain heard from Mr. Li that Qin Yu was an expert in Tai Chi Pavilion, so he was very respectful to Qin Yu and introduced the geography of Liao Jizhou to Qin Yu.
As the northeastern border area of the Yaxin Empire, Liaoji Prefecture became a commercially developed area a long time ago thanks to its trade with the White Feather Divine Kingdom.
In addition, part of Liaojizhou relies on Linghai, maritime trade and maritime resources have also made Liaojizhou a lot of money.
At that time, the people in Liaoji Prefecture lived and worked in peace and contentment. Opportunities and wealth were everywhere. Many young people from the empire who were energetic and ideal chose to come here to work hard.
However, since the war broke out, trade has completely stopped, many areas have been placed under military control, and disputes continue at sea.
Liaoji Prefecture's economy and people's livelihood have plummeted, a large number of people have emigrated, and the land has been abandoned
As a result, this place has been reduced from a once prosperous place to one of the poorest states in the empire, even worse than the Gulan State in the northwest.
But even if he is already very poor, he still has to support Li Rubai's army of 300,000 people every year.
Of course, Li Rubai is a good official. He has allocated as little military expenditures as possible from local finances. Most of the expenditures are obtained from the central government.
Even so, even a small amount of military expenditure will be overwhelming for the people of Liaojizhou, and some even need to sell their children and daughters to survive.
In some areas, it only takes one bag of rice to buy a girl. Boys are more expensive, and three bags of rice are needed.
Because if you buy a boy back, he can do manual labor. If you raise him to be older and stronger, you can even send him to serve as a soldier.
From the mouth of this squad leader, Qin Yu heard the meaning of war weariness, but this matter was far beyond his ability as a squad leader to intervene.
Even Li Rubai is just a pawn in the whole game and cannot have much influence.
