After the immortal disappeared

Fan Shuang could also find out from the accounts that a large amount of supplies were transported to the city gate, some of which were marked with code words.

One night, the father and son discussed privately: "I know what those coded words on the county account are!"

He was in charge of bookkeeping in the county government, and was responsible for recording some material provisions.

Fan Shuang was slightly surprised: "What?"

"On the day of the escort, I went to record the records. The linen wrapped around those things had a torn corner. I could tell at once that they looked like mechanical beasts that protect the city gates!" Father Fan whispered, "I've been to the gate tower of Tianshui City before and have seen these mechanical beasts. They are used to protect the city walls and gates, and they are quite powerful! I only know that we have eight of them here, but I don't know what they look like or how powerful they are."

"Miancheng also uses mechanical beasts?" Fan Shuang was surprised, "What a luxury."

This thing is powered by black crystal and is a veritable gold-eating beast.

"No."

"Don't mention it, don't say a word! It's confidential."

…

That night, Fan Shuang invited Tu Shanfang to dinner.

Although the storm was coming, although a large number of outsiders poured in, and although prices soared, Miancheng had not been affected by the war for the time being, and supplies were barely available, and the wine shops and restaurants were still open. If Fan Shuang didn't invite guests now, it would probably be difficult to invite them when the war broke out.

Tu Shanfang looked at the sky and said that you can eat but you can’t drink because you have a mission.

"Let's drink together some other day. I will definitely let you treat me."

After sitting down in the tavern, the two of them had become familiar with each other, and Fan Shuang asked about Guo Baiyu, who everyone was afraid of.

Tu Shanfang said, "According to the information we received, the man named Guo Dali announced that he had received help from the gods. Several forces that were originally cut off by the Black Armor Army took the initiative to merge with him."

The Dragon God Army swept through the first wave of Shanjin and basically took down all the easy-to-conquer territories. The remaining stubborn forces were like isolated islands in the sea, separated by the territories actually controlled by the Dragon God Army.

They knew that they would be the next target. So some forces colluded with each other and prepared to fight against the Dragon God's army. In the eyes of outsiders, Guo Baiyu's claim to be the God of Heaven made him more competitive.

Fan Shuang asked: "Which god?"

"Vaishen Deva. Have you heard of him?"

Fan Shuang exclaimed, "He is also one of the main gods of Lingxu, ranking after Miaozhan God. I have heard that after Miaozhan God fell, the main god of Yaodi became him."

"That's awesome, right?"

"In fact, no matter what rank a god is, once he descends, it is usually not something that human power can resist." Fan Shuang frowned, "The gods of Lingxu are notoriously arrogant. It's really strange that Guo Baiyu can actually get close to such a righteous god and a great god."

The righteous gods are all high and mighty in heaven, why would they care about a small fish in the human world?

Tu Shanfang shook his head: "Forget it, these are not ours to worry about. The higher-ups have already marked him."

Fan Shuang was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Why else would they send us here?" Tu Shanfang said with a smile, "The higher-ups judged that Guo Baiyu might become a force to be reckoned with, and ordered us to come here to train the local soldiers, assist the city and county, and organize resistance."

Fan Shuang was a little disappointed when she heard this: "I thought the Dragon God... uh, I thought the Black Armor Army was here in person. I heard that he always fights in person."

In his impression, He Xiao had always been a businessman. It was still hard for him to imagine He Xiao wearing armor and killing enemies on the battlefield.

Although he also knew that He Xiao's martial arts skills were amazing.

"The Dragon God is indeed at the forefront of the battle, and he is extremely brave and fierce. Everyone who sees him is impressed. But the Black Armor Army is also divided into several routes. My main army is led by General Tao, and they are fighting against the Wutun tribe in the north. That tribe is much more powerful than Guo Baiyu. After the battle, they can go south to support other areas." Tu Shanfang said, "Not all people in every place will surrender to the Dragon God Army. You should know this best."

Fan Shuang nodded. The Yao people had always looked down upon the Nine Nether Emperor, and I think the Wutun tribe was the same.

Those resistance forces that exist in the form of tribes or sects are very wary and resistant to the Dragon God.

"Where is the Dragon God Army?" How come the Dragon God Army that swept across Shanjin a few days ago suddenly disappeared?

"The Dragon God has his own ideas, and the army has its own secrets. As soldiers, we only need to obey orders."

Fan Shuang raised his cup and toasted him with tea instead of wine: "The Black Armor Army is known for its bravery, and Brother Tu has been promoted so quickly, which shows that he is an extraordinary person."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Tu Shanfang looked pleased, but he still had to be modest: "Of course not, we are just nobody under the command of the great Dragon God."

Tu Shanfang's eyes didn't look like a good person. Fan Shuang recalled what his companions had said before and finally asked about Tu Shanfang's past.

Now that things were out in the open, Tu Shanfang didn't hide anything from him.

It turned out that this man had lost many job opportunities due to a hand injury and couldn't even do farm work. Coupled with some changes in his family, he decided that farming had no future. After he turned sixteen or seventeen, he stopped working and focused on doing things that could make money quickly.

Stealing and robbing are not a problem, and murder and robbery are also commonplace. He has been doing this for more than ten years and is now in his thirties.

Fan Shuang's forehead was covered with sweat after hearing this. To be able to survive in the Shining Gold Plain for more than ten years without being beaten or boiled in a pot by anyone, he really had some skills.

But is Tu Shanfang only in his thirties? His face is weather-beaten, and the wrinkles around his eyes are as deep as ravines. He looks almost fifty.

In other words, compared to the Yao people, the Shanjin people are generally thin, with rough and old faces, and even many women look like rough men. Some armies kill innocent people to claim credit, and even cut off women's heads and pretend to be enemies to report credit. It is impossible to tell them apart just by looking at their skin and facial features.

For someone like Mrs. Wang, even though she had experienced hardships and looked haggard on the road to escape, others could tell at a glance that she came from a wealthy family.

"Then why did Brother Tu join the Black Armor Army?"

"To make money, what other reason could it be?" Tu Shanfang said as if it was a matter of course.

"..." Is it so realistic? Fan Shuang thought he was inspired by the Dragon God.

Overthinking.

This is the Golden Plains, and no one dares to be impractical.

"At that time, the Wuwei Guards were not yet famous, and the group of bandits I joined robbed the convoy they were escorting. You know what happened. The other bandits were killed, and only I was left because someone down the mountain said something good about me. After entering Wuwei, the money you make depends on the trip you follow. Sometimes you get more, sometimes you get less, and sometimes you get bonuses. On average, I could make more than one or two taels a month. Not long after, I won the competition, and then I joined the Black Armor Army."

"More than one or two taels, that's not a small amount." The average income of people in Miancheng is only three or five cents a month.
