Lord of Puro

Chapter 662: Neizhou Storm
Accompanied by music, Li Banfeng danced at the Baitao Conference, taking every step very seriously.

Li Banfeng's shadow Banfengyin was in the "hornet's nest", sitting on the stairs waiting silently.

"Grandpa, is it almost done?" Ban Fengyin asked in a low voice. He was worried that this "hornet's nest" might run back to the capital at any time.

"Don't worry, it can't move. It can only move after I make it move." Suishenju wanted to take away some good things from the "hornet's nest". In just a short while, the old man had found five pieces of Tianxin Stone in the hornet's nest.

There are things more precious than the Tianxin Stone. The old man can sense it, and the gloves can also sense it. The two are trying hard to find it.

Gloves pried off a lot of screws from the pipes: "Old man, these nails are rare and good things."

Suishenju looked at the quality of the screws and found that they were indeed good things: "Take all the good things and don't leave anything behind. I think there seems to be a railway track in this room."

Gloves was a little conservative: "We've made him lose his business this time, and it will be hard to do business next time."

Suishenju said: "Don't worry, this business will not be cut off. We have exchanges, and I will also give him some good things."

"Hehehe~"

After a moment's silence, Gloves and Suishenju laughed at the same time.

……

The White Peach Conference was over. Ling Baitao looked up at the sky and saw that the hornet's nest was still there and had not left.

This hornet's nest has stayed here for a long time.

"Every time Neizhou sends troops here, Baishun County can see Xinhai once. My friend, if you want to go to Xinhai, you still have a chance now."

Li Banfeng shook his head: "I just said that I will not go to Xinhai, I will return to the underground city directly. I am a travel cultivator, and I have the means to leave thousands of miles away."

Ling Baitao nodded and asked the islanders to use peach branches to make a raft for Li Banfeng.

To be honest, Li Banfeng felt unworthy of even this raft. The resources on the island were so scarce that these peach branches could have been left for them to build houses.

Suishenju and gloves cleaned up all the good things in the "hornet's nest". The hornet's nest gradually moved away, and the ocean in the sky began to move slowly.

Li Banfeng still couldn't tell: "Is it the sea that's moving, or the island?"

Ling Baitao replied: "They are all moving, and we can't tell who is moving more."

The battle went smoothly today and there was plenty of time. Many young men climbed up the peach trees and fished in the new sea. By the time the islands returned to the cave, all five islands were well harvested.

Ling Baitao asked Li Banfeng: "Friend, are you in a hurry to leave? We have fish to eat tonight."

Li Banfeng said: "I am really a little anxious. I should set off now."

Ling Baitao gave Li Banfeng a pot of white peach wine: "Will you come back?"

"Yes," Li Banfeng brought a bag of canned food to Ling Baitao, "Next time I come, I'll bring you more food."

Ling Baitao packed a bag of peaches for Li Banfeng: "That friend from another place always brings us delicious food. He said it's not for free, but he exchanges it with peaches. He said he especially likes peaches from Baishun County. He also always says something, called..."

Ling Baitao couldn't remember it for a moment.

Li Banfeng took the peach and said, "I think he meant the phrase, whether it's a loss or a gain, neither of us owes the other anything."

Ling Baitao nodded: "Yes, that's it."

Li Banfeng got on the raft and waved goodbye to the residents on the island.

When Baitao Island disappeared from sight, Li Banfeng murmured, "We can't say we don't owe each other anything. We still owe each other something. I owe you too much."

Li Banfeng still had many things he wanted to ask, but what he wanted to know most was why the warriors of Baishun County turned into peach trees after they died in battle.

But he couldn't speak, and the residents of White Falcon County didn't want to talk about it.

Fortunately, there are other people to ask, and Li Banfeng doesn’t have so many concerns about these people from Inner Province.

Lang Daoshou, Xie Baheng and Shan Yuzhu all went into the sea, pulling the boat in front with ropes tied to their bodies.

Li Banfeng asked the Luo sisters: "Why don't you go pull the boat?"

Luo Lijun looked indifferent: "Even if I pull the boat, I can't be with them."

Li Banfeng was stunned and didn't quite understand what she meant.

Luo Yanjun quickly explained: "According to our customs, it is not appropriate for us to work with them."

"What custom?" Li Banfeng didn't understand. Luo Yanjun kept beating around the bush and didn't want to explain it too clearly.

Luo Shaojun made it clear: "Sister is a marquis, we are ministers, they are scholars, our status is different."

Li Banfeng asked Luo Shaojun to speak more carefully.

Luo Shaojun drew a picture: "In the Shang Dynasty, the most powerful person was the king, under the king were the princes, under the princes were the nobles, and under the nobles were the scholars.

Below the scholars are the common people, below the common people are the slaves, the nobles cannot do the same thing as the scholars, this is against the rules. "

Li Banfeng hated this kind of rule. He frowned and said, "Then let's break the rules. Pick two of you five sisters to pull the boat with them."

Luo Shaojun stuck out her tongue and prepared to pull the boat herself, but Luo Yanjun stopped her and said, "You are too young, let me go."

Yan Jun jumped into the sea, and Luo Yu Jun followed.

Li Banfeng looked at Luo Lijun and said, "You just don't want to go anyway, right?"

Luo Lijun bowed her head and said nothing. Luo Xiujun said beside her, "She is a local lord. She is so arrogant. How could she be willing to do such a thing?"

Not only Luo Lijun refused, but even Xie Baheng was frightened. Looking at Luo Yanjun and Luo Yujun, he didn't know how to pull the boat: "Two ladies, hurry up and get on the boat. You can't do this job!"

Luo Yujun snorted: "Master Li asked us to come here, we all listen to Master Li."

Luo Yanjun said: "Just focus on pulling the boat and stop talking so much."

Xie Baheng didn't dare to say much, but he felt very uncomfortable. His feet were unstable when he was paddling, and the boat was shaking.

Lang Daoshou and Shan Yuzhu were also swimming unsteadily. There seemed to be an insurmountable gap between them and the Luo family.

Luo Lijun said: "Actually, this is nothing special. It's the same as in Pro Province. Aren't there many nobles in Pro Province?"

The nobles of Proletariat...

Who can be considered a noble in Prolezhou?
There are indeed some wealthy families, but can they be as expensive as the Luo family?

Li Banfeng looked at Luo Lijun: "How high is your status in the Great Shang Kingdom?"

Luo Lijun thought for a moment: "When he was at the peak, he was considered the leader among the princes."

Li Banfeng asked again: "Then why did you become a prisoner?"

Luo Lijun said: "It's because of the plague. The plague spread and the whole country suffered. Our Luo family was ordered to deal with the plague. As a result, the three of us sisters recovered from the plague, but the prescription was not cracked.

The royal family said that we were suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so they sent us to the camp and asked us to lead the troops to attack Baishun County. They said they were leading the troops, but in fact they wanted us to fight with our crimes and take the opportunity to let us die on the battlefield. "

Li Banfeng thought about it, shook his head slightly and said, "You are a local lord, you should not be punished so severely for this matter."

Luo Lijun remained silent, while Luo Shaojun said, "In the final analysis, it is because our Luo family leader advocated peace instead of war, and they caught us and wanted to exterminate our Luo family."

Has the struggle between the war faction and the peace faction reached this extent?

Luo Xiujun snorted and said, "It's said that following your Luo family means suffering and hardship. Who told you to go against the royal family?"

Follow your Luo family?

What does this mean?
Li Banfeng looked at Luo Xiujun carefully again. Due to the limited fabric on her body, Xiujun's figure was clearly visible.

Luo Yujun went into the water, and her figure was more clearly revealed.

They were both very good-looking and had nice figures, but they were full of muscle and had more angles on their bodies than on their faces, which was in stark contrast to the three sisters who had rounder bodies.

Li Banfeng asked: "Are you from the Luo family?"

Before Luo Xiujun could speak, Luo Shaojun rushed to answer: "Yes, we are all family, but Yujun and Xiujun do not have the same father or mother as us."

Li Banfeng seemed to understand: "So they are cousins."

Luo Shaojun shook his head and said, "We are not cousins, we are real sisters."

Li Banfeng looked at Shaojun and said to Luo Lijun: "This child is very smart, you have to let her study."

Luo Shaojun was not convinced: "Seventh Brother, I have studied."

"Since you have been educated, you should know that if your parents are different, you cannot be considered sisters."

"Yes! Our bloodline is not entirely determined by our parents. I have an older brother who has the same parents as me, but he doesn't look like us, so he no longer has the last name Luo."

Li Banfeng remembered what the pink-haired sturdy man Han Xiaoxuan said, that the bloodline of Neizhou and the descendants that Li Banfeng knew were two different things.

Luo Shaojun explained earnestly: "When we were born, we were all the same as slaves, just worms, and there was no difference in appearance between us.
Before the age of fifteen, we would take elixirs at home and practice according to the family tradition. After the age of fifteen, our bodies would change, and most of our brothers and sisters would grow up to look like us now. This is the bloodline of our Luo family.
My elder brother grew up to be a leopard. Although he was born to my parents, his bloodline was different from ours, so he was sent to the Leopard family and changed his surname to Leopard. The Leopard family was also a powerful family, so my brother did not suffer any loss.
As for the two sisters, Yujun and Xiujun, they were originally from the Yuan family and should have turned into giant apes, but they look the same as our family members, so they are considered the bloodline of our Luo family and were adopted by our Luo family and became our real sisters. "

Li Banfeng asked, "The bloodline of Neizhou is all determined by this change at the age of fifteen?"

Luo Shaojun nodded.

Luo Xiujun said: "When my sisters and I were in the Yuan family, our father was a minister, and we were not the eldest sons, so we can only be considered scholars from now on.

The Luo family is a local vassal. After we joined the Luo family, we became descendants of vassal states and were able to be granted titles of nobles and officials. Our status was indeed raised to a higher level."

Luo Lijun snorted and said, "You still have a conscience when you say that."

Li Banfeng asked, "If he was a slave and turned into a snail at the age of fifteen, would he also become a member of your Luo family?"

Luo Shaojun thought for a moment and said, "That's right, but it's unlikely that they will change when they turn fifteen.

Because slaves have nothing and cannot eat elixirs, they remain in the form of worms their entire lives. "

Li Banfeng asked again: "Where are the common people?"

"If common people save money and spend frugally for a year or two, they may be able to eat a pill, but it is too difficult to become like us. There are examples of common people becoming scholars.

With the family background of a scholar, if he only takes pills once a month, there is still a big gap between him and the common people. However, there are some outstanding common people who can become scholars even if they take fewer pills.
The families of nobles and officials take elixirs every three to five days, which is not much different from that of scholars. However, there are indeed children from scholars who enter the families of nobles and officials after the age of fifteen. "

After he said this, Li Banfeng finally understood that in the Great Shang Kingdom, taking elixirs is the key to determining bloodline.

Nobles take more elixirs, while commoners take fewer. After the age of fifteen, the offspring of nobles will most likely become nobles, while some will become commoners due to their poor physical talents. Similarly, there are also children of commoners who become nobles due to their excellent physique.

Of course, there were also civilians who became slaves due to their poor physical condition. This was not uncommon. According to Luo Shaojun, if a commoner family had five children, generally three of them would become slaves.

Li Banfeng asked again: "Besides the elixir, are there any other ways to change your fate? For example, practice and exercise?" Luo Shaojun said: "Yes, there are. Every year, the royal family will find a few people to tell stories, saying that a certain servant practiced hard and finally became a scholar.
But my sister said that it was all a lie. Those slaves had the chance to change their fate because they served their masters well and got a few more pills. The words of the royal family cannot be trusted..."

Snapped!
Luo Lijun slapped Luo Shaojun and sent him into the water.

"Little sister, go pull the boat and bring your sister back."

Luo Shaojun pouted and went to pull the boat, and Luo Yanjun returned to the boat.

Luo Xiujun whispered, "In fact, Shaojun is not wrong. The two centipedes you met in the camp were slaves who became commoners, and then became scholars, and finally became fortune tellers. Chaoge actually let them lead the troops to fight."

"Who is the fortune teller?"

Luo Xiujun said: "They are the people in charge of sacrifices. Their status is between princes and ministers. Do you think they are powerful?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "They have nothing to do with being powerful."

Luo Xiujun said: "We shouldn't have let them lead the troops. These two fools don't know anything."

"Then why did you let them attack Baishun County? Didn't Baishun County cause you to suffer many defeats?"

Luo Xiujun whispered, "That's because there are restrictions. Some powerful generals can't come, and our weapons can't be delivered."

Li Banfeng asked: "Who restricted it?"

Luo Lijun glared at Luo Xiujun, and Luo Xiujun dared not say anything more.

Li Banfeng was not in a hurry as they still hadn't told the truth. He had plenty of ways to get the sisters to speak. He carefully analyzed the class structure of the Great Shang Kingdom, and some important classes gradually established connections with Pro Province: "Is your king a saint?"

Luo Lijun and Luo Yanjun remained silent. Seeing this, Luo Xiujun took the initiative to speak: "That's what you say, but the words of the sage are useless in Chaoge. It's the cabinet that counts."

Li Banfeng heard a new term: "What is the cabinet?"

Luo Xiujun thought about how to describe it: "The cabinet is the royal bloodline, and they are the ones who truly control the court."

Li Banfeng had some idea about the term "royal bloodline": "The royal family you are talking about is a person with three heads?"

Luo Xiujun nodded.

Li Banfeng carefully looked at the picture drawn by Luo Shaojun: "The eldest son of the royal family will become the king, and the other descendants will be ordinary royals. The eldest son of the royal family is still a royal family, and the other descendants will become princes.
By analogy, there will be more and more nobles at all levels. Can the Great Shang Kingdom support so many nobles?"

Luo Xiujun said: "It is said that a long time ago, there were indeed many nobles, but at that time, the territory of the Shang Dynasty was very large and the products were very abundant, so it was not a problem to support these nobles.

But later, the power of the Tufang Kingdom grew greatly, and we lost several battles. A lot of territory was taken away, and we couldn't support so many nobles, so there were fewer nobles, and now we have lost one..."

Before she could finish her words, Luo Xiujun was kicked by Luo Lijun. She said that a noble had just been missing, and it was the Luo family. This kind of thing was very common in Neizhou.

"What kind of country is the Land Kingdom?"

"Their king is called the Demon Lord, and their kings are all in Silver Bear City."

Demon Lord.

Li Banfeng was not unfamiliar with this concept. The owner of Baimofang was the Demon Lord.

"How much do you know about White Falcon County? Do you know why their people turned into peach trees after they died in battle?"

Luo Lijun kicked Luo Xiujun again, signaling her not to say anything more.

But Luo Xiujun ignored it. In the current situation, it would definitely not be a disadvantage to please Li Qi: "This is because the people of the White Falcon Alliance helped them."

White Falcon Alliance?
Li Banfeng remembered the White Falcon Alliance that Professor Balloon mentioned.

"The White Falcon Alliance you're talking about is the kingdom of Neizhou?"

Luo Xiujun nodded first, then shook her head: "Their capital is in Qixing Mountain, which can't be called a capital. They are not a kingdom at all.
They have no king, and are an alliance of small countries. At first, Da Shang and Tu Fang did not take them seriously, but later the White Falcon Alliance grew bigger and bigger, and Da Shang and Tu Fang suffered a lot from the White Falcon Alliance.
The White Falcon Alliance has given a lot of help to White Falcon County. We once placed drugs on the land of White Falcon County, so that no crops can be grown on the land of White Falcon County. This could have allowed White Falcon County to die out naturally.
But the White Falcon Alliance sent elixirs to White Falcon County through special methods, which allowed the people of White Falcon County to turn into peach trees after death, allowing White Falcon County to survive again."

"Why does the White Falcon Alliance want to help the White Falcon County?"

Luo Xiujun thought for a moment and said, "I heard that it's because the White Falcon Alliance and the White Falcon County have the same bloodline. There are white falcons in their names. There are many people in the White Falcon Alliance who have transformed into birds, and the same is true for the White Falcon County..."

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Luo Lijun finally couldn't help it, "The White Falcon Alliance and the White Falcon County have the same name is purely coincidental, they are not of the same bloodline at all!"

Luo Xiujun was very unconvinced: "Then tell me, why did the White Falcon Alliance help the White Falcon County?"

Luo Lijun saw the matter more clearly: "There is a lot of hustle and bustle, and they have also set their sights on the territory of other states, but they have not been able to open a road, and they don't want us to succeed, so they help White Falcon County to cause trouble for us.

In Amikan, they did just that. Last year, they helped the Amikan people defeat the Demon Lord, and now the road to Amikan is almost occupied by them. "

The road leading to Amican should refer to another wormhole, or a branch of the wormhole, which is the Inner Amican country that Ling Miaosheng had just visited.

"So, the White Falcon Alliance has also mastered the method of using roads?"

Luo Lijun sighed and said, "Where do you think the various restrictions on the road come from? Aren't they all the work of the White Falcon Alliance? Because of them, we have never been able to attack White Falcon County with all our strength. Otherwise, if we bring our weapons, White Falcon County will not be able to hold out for even a moment.

But then again, I really don't want to fight. We really want to fight for a way out in Waizhou, but Waizhou is not easy to deal with. The White Falcon Alliance is making trouble behind us, and there is also Pro Province in the middle. If this road is paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, what's the point of fighting for it?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "That's a good point. Do you, the Luo family, still want to regain your power in Neizhou?"

"How do we take it?" Luo Lijun laughed bitterly. "When one lord falls, dozens of nobles and officials fall behind him, as well as countless scholars. The Luo family's assets will soon be divided up."

Luo Xiujun said: "The key is that this is the will of the royal family. In Da Shang, who can be more powerful than the royal family?"

Li Banfeng said: "Then you should establish another royal family."

Luo Lijun was stunned and asked, "Where can we find the royal family?"

Li Banfeng lifted the brim of his hat and looked at Luo Lijun. The chips were out and it was time to do business.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the train master?"

The five snail sisters looked at each other and said nothing.

Li Banfeng smiled slightly and said, "We still have a long way to go, let's talk slowly."

……

Relying on his memory, Li Banfeng pulled the raft to the border.

The five Luo sisters and the swordsman were all sleeping on the raft, sleeping soundly.

The music box wandered around the raft, making sure everyone was fast asleep.

Li Banfeng picked up the simple phone and called his wife: "My dear, I..."

"You heartless madman, why did you come back? Go out and have fun!" The wife hung up the phone.

Luo Zhengnan sighed: "Madam is angry."

The call was interrupted, and Luo Zhengnan wanted to fall asleep. Not long after, his wife called back: "Crazy man, where are you?"

“Almost at the door!”

Zhao Xiaowan hung up the phone and came to the bow of the ship. She vaguely saw Li Banfeng's figure floating in the air across the boundary.

"Hurry up and move the hidden bridge cannon over here!" The record player waved his hand, and Ban Feng Bing and Ban Feng Ding rushed up quickly, while Ban Feng Yi watched from the side without reaching out his hand.

After adjusting the parameters and firing a shot, Li Banfeng summoned a group of shadows, carrying the raft, across the secret bridge and back to the boat.

Seeing a group of shadows, Li Banfeng said with surprise: "You are still here."

Ban Fengyi snorted and said, "If not here, where else can it be? Can't I still live my life without you?"

Zhao Xiaowan grabbed Li Banfeng and beat him up, then felt distressed: "Where have you been these days? I scared you, do you know that?"

Li Banfeng hugged Zhao Xiaowan from behind: "My dear, this is a long story. Let's be affectionate for a while, and then I will tell you in detail!"

The two of them played around for a while, and then they both became interested. Li Banfeng took out the oil bottle, and Zhao Xiaowan frowned and asked, "What are you going to do with that?"

Li Banfeng quickly put away the oil bottle, carried Zhao Xiaowan, and went into the guest room.

In the blink of an eye, Li Banfeng was dressed neatly and said with a smile: "My lady, have fun!"

Zhao Xiaowan was wearing clothes and said dully, "Husband, it's better to apply engine oil."

Li Banfeng folded his hands, squatted on the ground and said: "Madam, being short has its advantages. Let me explain the reason..."

"Stop talking nonsense," the lady put on her clothes and came to the deck, "What should we do with these Neizhou people?"

Although the five sisters of the Luo family changed their physical forms, my wife saw through them at a glance.

Li Banfeng said: "I plan to take them to Neizhou and let them lead the way to find an old friend."

Li Banfeng recounted his experiences in Baishun County, and his wife guessed the identity of the old friend: "My husband wants to save that crazy craftsman. Are you planning to enter Neizhou from Baishun County?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult in Baishun County. Neizhou has frequently sent troops there, so they must be heavily guarded," Li Banfeng already had a plan, "We still have another way, which should not be blocked yet."

……

He Jiaqing walked through a thorn bush, trudged through the new land for several hours, and found a factory.

There was a factory in the new place, which was a very novel thing. He Jiaqing avoided the patrolling monsters and entered the factory. He saw a white-haired old man who was polishing accessories.

"Senior Shi, I am here to greet you." He Jiaqing bowed deeply.

Mason Xing raised his head, put down his tools, and wiped the grease off his hands: "Mr. He, what can I do for you?"

He Jiaqing looked at the factory environment. Compared with other factories in Pro Province, the equipment here was obviously much simpler. This was a new place, and the factory's products were unlikely to be sold. Building this factory was probably just a way for Shigongxing to find comfort for himself.

"Senior Shi's accomplishments should not be buried in a place like this."

Shi Gongxing shook his head slightly: "At my age, it's rare to have a quiet life. It's not like I'm buried. Mr. He, just speak frankly."

He Jiaqing said, "The deed to the new land is not complete. I plan to help you get the other half of the deed back, and then help you turn the new land into the main land. What do you think?"

Shi Gongxing was stunned for a moment: "No merit, no reward. Mr. He, how can I bear such a great favor?"

He Jiaqing took out a deed and said, "It's not a favor. I just want to do something big with you."
