Reclaiming Wasteland and Farming: My Haunted Fields Are Spawning Monsters Infinitely

Chapter 136 Enemies coming from all directions

Dugu Yan ignored them completely, disregarding the fact that the two maids beside her were already blushing.

"What is it? Speak!"

Jin Wuji instinctively jolted and hurriedly said, "Reporting to General Tianfu, I have important matters to report."

He cleared his throat and said, "Recently, some martial arts sects have come to the north, swindling and deceiving people, causing widespread panic. I don't know how to deal with this."

"You hold troops in your hands, yet you can't do anything to a few martial arts practitioners?" Dugu Yan sneered.

"These sects are full of highly skilled individuals who have always been lawless and disregard even the imperial court. Even if I had troops, I couldn't defeat their extraordinary abilities."

"Hmph, I'd like to see who's truly powerful." Dugu Yan pulled her large hand out from under the maid's skirt and said, "Who's the most arrogant one here?"

"Reporting to General Tianfu, there is a traitor who has opened the granaries to provide disaster relief and has gathered tens of thousands of refugees. He is very ambitious."

Dugu Yan rested her chin on her hands and said calmly, "Private relief is tantamount to rebellion. He can gather tens of thousands of refugees; he must have a lot of food, right?"

Jin Wuji nodded: "A lot."

"Alright, then you shall lead a force to collect grain."

"Requisitioning grain?" Jin Wuji asked. "But this man has always been arrogant; he might not be willing to hand over the grain."

"If they refuse to hand over the grain, then they are truly rebelling," Dugu Yan said.

Jin Wuji nodded, bowed, and stepped back: "I will take care of it immediately."

Luo Daoren and Wang Daoren walked in the wilderness.

Behind Luo Daoren followed a row of zombies, all with their eyes closed and limbs stiff, following Luo Daoren's steps closely.

Luo Daoren would occasionally flick the copper coin sword behind him to keep them from veering off course.

"Brother Luo is indeed skilled; he has gathered more than a dozen zombies in one night."

Luo Daoren smiled slightly, "It's just a trivial trick. I only hope that these devils can find out the strength of the master of Huai Shupo today."

Below the earthen slope ahead, a father and son were huddled together, shivering from the cold, seeking shelter from the wind.

Hearing the footsteps of Luo Daoren and Wang Daoren, the father and son barely opened their eyes.

"Master Dao, please have mercy and give me some food."

-

Wang Daoren and Luo Daoren exchanged a glance, and Wang Daoren said, "Brother Luo, it's fate."

Luo Daoren smiled slightly, then suddenly reached out and patted them on the head twice.

The father and son immediately collapsed and died on the spot.

Luo Daoren pulled out two talismans from his sleeve, smeared them with blood, wrote two talismans, and stuck them on the necks of the father and son.

He gently shook the copper coin sword, and the corpse on the ground actually stood up and joined the corpse-driving team.

"You're lucky," said Luo Daoren. "The master's physique is unremarkable, but this child, if properly nurtured, might become an Iron Corpse in the future."

Congratulations, Brother Luo!

Luo Daoren put away his copper coin sword and led the corpse-driving team onward.

The locust tree slope can be faintly seen ahead.

At noon, people had already started cooking, and the smoke from their cooking fires was billowing high in the air.

Just as Luo Daoren was about to make a move, Wang Daoren waved his hand and said, "Wait, there are soldiers."

On the main road in front of the locust tree slope, a group of soldiers were slowly approaching.

Luo Daoren sheathed the copper coin sword again: "It's not too late to wait."

Jin Wuji disguised himself and hid in the grain requisition team, without showing himself.

The leader in charge of collecting grain today is named Han Xiaowu, and he is just an ordinary squad leader.

The group had just arrived at the front of the locust tree slope when Qin Afu blocked their way.

"May I ask what your duties are, sirs?"

"Get lost!" Han Xiaowu shouted rudely. "Do you have any right to speak here? Call the owner of this place. We're here to requisition grain."

"Requisition grain!"

"You still have the nerve to come and requisition grain?"

"Beat them!"

Before Han Xiaowu could react, the surrounding refugees had already swarmed around him: "What do you want to do? Rebellion? Rebellion, is that it?!"

Bang!

A stone came flying at him, hitting him squarely on the nose and causing blood to flow.

"Damn it, which bastard threw a rock at me? Arrest them, arrest them all!"

Bang bang bang!

Pebbles rained down, followed by sticks, bones, and fists.

"Troublemakers! A bunch of troublemakers!"

Han Xiaowu clutched his head and subconsciously looked at Jin Wuji.

Jin Wuji immediately sensed that something was wrong and ran outside, clutching his head.

Thud, thud!

Someone's wooden stick landed on him.

When Jin Wuji stood in front of Dugu Yan again, his face was bruised and swollen, and a tuft of his hair had been pulled out.

Dugu Yan frowned, scrutinizing him intently: "You're supposed to be quite capable, so how did you get beaten up like this?"

"There are too many people. I'm worried that if I use my real skills, even more people will attack," Jin Wuji said, sounding aggrieved.

The two maids behind Dugu Yan covered their mouths and burst out laughing.

"You scoundrels! They're all scoundrels!" Jin Wuji said angrily. "The bandits at Huai Shu Slope have gathered refugees with ill intentions. I would like to ask the general to take action and wipe them all out."

"You just mentioned Locust Tree Slope?" Dugu Yan asked. "This general remembers, isn't there someone living on Locust Tree Slope?"

"this----"

Bang!

Dugu Yan slammed her large hand on the desk and said coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

thump!

Jin Wuji's knees buckled, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Alright." Dugu Yan leaned back in her chair and stretched her arms. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. If you were really fools, would I have made it to the North alive? Why don't you use your pig-like brains to think about it?"

"Your subordinate knows his crime, your subordinate knows his crime."

"I'm a very reasonable person. If you're willing to follow me, I certainly won't treat you unfairly. But if you resort to such underhanded tricks, don't blame me for tearing you to pieces and feeding you to the dogs."

"I will never dare to do that again."

"As for the person you mentioned, I heard about him before I came. He's got guts and ability; he's a real man," Dugu Yan said. "If he's willing to surrender, I'll need a horse-riding guard. If he's not—"

Dugu Yan raised her eyebrows. "The North doesn't allow people this stubborn."

At this moment, a soldier in black armor came to report, bowing and saying, "General Qi, the people from the Shen residence have arrived."

"Alright, you can go now. Later, please invite that person over as a guest and see if he'll give me that kind of face."

Jin Wuji bowed and left the command tent. At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a staff member walked in.

Jin Wuji recognized him; he was Bai Yunhe, an advisor to Shen Qingzhou.

Jin Wuji, being cautious, quietly retreated to one side of the command tent, hoping to eavesdrop on what the people inside were saying.

"Kill him?" Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised. "So hastily?"

"What we adults mean is that he's making a huge fuss, and if we can't control him now, we'll probably be even less able to control him later."

Dugu Yan remained silent for a while. "Wait a moment, I've already invited him over. If he refuses to come, it's not too late to take action then."
