Chapter 771: Fate is Determined by Heaven

~12 min read 2,230 words

Wei Yuan took Li Chengfeng to see several medical camps, all of which were about the same, and two out of three wounded soldiers were unwilling to return to Zhao country.

After reading it, Li Chengfeng also smiled bitterly and said to Wei Yuan: "Wei Lord, you are not kind. You give the wounded soldiers better food than our generals, can they not rebel? If I didn't have a wife and children, I wouldn't leave either."

Wei Yuan said: "What they eat is just a little better than ordinary people, which is conducive to the recovery of injuries. I didn't give them any special meals. Our soldiers in the army eat like this on weekdays."

Seeing that Li Chengfeng didn't believe it at all, Wei Yuan didn't explain.

There were many other wounded soldiers in the medical camp. Li Chengfeng asked who these people were, and learned that they were the new army just trained by the Xu family. These people originally guarded Hanyang Pass, but were surrounded by Li Chengfeng. These new troops naturally had no combat power and no fighting will, and most of them surrendered and were concentrated and imprisoned.

After the Sixth Princess changed defense, these people were not released, and many people suffered torture and were injured. At this moment, they were also being treated here. However, they and the Zhao army surrendered troops were distinct and did not communicate with each other.

Li Chengfeng suddenly said: "Do you intend to let these Xu family people go back?"

Wei Yuan said: "The price is enough, everything is negotiable."

Li Chengfeng felt a little more comfortable in his heart. It seemed that these Xu family people couldn't go back either, so he said: "I can always take away those who are not injured, right?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "The price is enough, everything is negotiable."

Li Chengfeng knew what Wei Yuan wanted, and gritted his teeth and said: "Within a year, I will open another three million mu of mulberry fields! In addition, I will use strong refugees to exchange for soldiers, five refugees for one soldier, how about it?"

"Ten refugees. Refugees are not worth money now."

At this moment, the war was raging, and refugees were indeed all over the mountains and plains, but most of them could not reach Qingming. After thinking about it, Li Chengfeng felt that organizing a large number of refugees was just time-consuming, laborious, and grain-consuming, but it was not impossible, so he agreed.

Wei Yuan was very happy, patted Li Chengfeng, and laughed: "Every time you come, I won't let you return empty-handed. Look, what is this?"

Seeing the wisp of gray-black aura floating on Wei Yuan's fingertips, Li Chengfeng instinctively had goosebumps. He was knowledgeable, quickly searched his memory, and found the origin of this thing. He was shocked: "Dao Profound Qi!"

Wei Yuan said: "Exactly Dao Profound Qi. This wisp is my personal gift. In the future, I will have more exchanges with Brother Li.

It's just that Qingming has many people now, and the quantity of goods coming and going is a bit insufficient. In addition to silk, I also need to purchase a large number of cotton, hemp, wood, and coal. So Brother Li, do you want to consider building a road between the Bi Shui domain and the Zhao country? I will be responsible for the one from Bi Shui to Qingming."

This time Li Chengfeng was really hesitant. Once the road was built, Wei Yuan could drive straight in along the avenue. However, he thought about it, and thought of the words of the counselor that day: In his position, he plans his politics.

This road of his own is built well, and it is the Crown Prince who has a headache. For Li Chengfeng at the moment, it is beneficial and harmless, so Li Chengfeng nodded and said: "Wei brother, list a list, how much is needed for each material, so I can go back and prepare."

Wei Yuan handed over a list, on which the demand for most materials was written: the more the better.

Li Chengfeng agreed in one breath, and then carefully put away the Dao Profound Qi, his gratitude overflowing.

Seeing Wei Yuan a bit puzzled, Li Chengfeng said: "To tell the truth, Wei brother, Li has a confidante who has known each other for many years. It's just that her cultivation talent is mediocre, she barely cultivated a human-rank Dao Foundation, and she has reached the end. Now there are faint traces of years. Now that I have this wisp of Dao Profound Qi, it is enough to raise the Dao Foundation to the earth-rank, and at least thirty years of companionship in the future. Li is grateful in his heart, and cannot express it in words!"

Wei Yuan originally intended to let Li Chengfeng use it for the younger generation, but didn't expect such a thing. To be honest, Dao Profound Qi is best used on powerful earth-ranks, which can be steadily raised to heaven-rank, and the hope of advancing to Dharma Form is greatly increased. Heaven-rank wants to advance to Immortal Foundation, it is difficult, it depends on luck.

And used on human-rank, at most it can be raised to powerful earth-rank, but not heaven-rank, and the hope of advancing to Dharma Form is still not great, it is just from the early stage to the late stage, which is a waste.

But everyone has their own fate, how Li Chengfeng wants to use it is his own business, as long as the effect is reached.

Subsequently, Wei Yuan took Li Chengfeng to the prisoner-of-war camp to determine the soldiers he wanted to take back. In the end, 60,000 of the 100,000 wounded prisoners returned to the country. Li Chengfeng recorded the remaining 40,000 as dead in battle.

Up to this point, the entanglement on the Zhao country side temporarily came to an end. The trade between the two sides would inevitably climb several times in the foreseeable future. Wei Yuan immediately started to build the road to the Bi Shui domain.

Anyway, things like roads, waterways, and ports are naturally owned by the strong, and in Wei Yuan's view, the more the better.

At this time, the surroundings of Qingming were temporarily peaceful, and the internal affairs were trivial matters of settling a large number of population, which could be handled in an orderly manner without Wei Yuan. New people constantly appeared in Human Fireworks. These people were those who naturally lived and died in Qingming. They were attached to Qingming, and naturally refused to leave after death.

Now it was autumn again, and Wei Yuan estimated that by the time winter came, the situation in the surrounding area should not have much change, so he returned to the Tai Chu Palace main mountain once, applied to the palace for immortal weapons to protect the law, and prepared to thoroughly take down that high-rise building.

Wei Yuan was going to explore the dangerous place, and Xuanyue naturally attached great importance to it, so he personally took Wei Yuan to the Dao Mountain Ancestral Realm to seek the help of the senior immortal weapons.

Soon Xuanyue took Wei Yuan to a quiet place in the mountain gate. The scenery here was actually average, not a fairyland at all, and there were no wonders like floating mountains and hanging islands, just ordinary mortal mountains and rivers. As soon as Xuanyue arrived here, he landed on the ground and stopped flying. Wei Yuan followed Xuanyue and walked forward for a while, suddenly feeling his body sink, and his Dao power disappeared without a trace. And his body was heavy, and the powerful Dharma body obtained from Body Forging no longer worked, and now he was completely a mortal who had not cultivated.

Xuanyue's posture and gait also changed instantly, becoming heavy and sluggish. It could be seen that he also lost all Dao power, and the power of the Dharma body was not obvious. With Xuanyue True Lord's cultivation approaching ascension, he was completely suppressed. The strength of the heaven and earth rules in this area was truly rare in the world.

The two walked along the road, and after walking for half a day, a small mountain appeared in front of them, only a few dozen feet high. A stream flowed through the mountain, a few thin fields were opened on the slope, and some fruit trees and flowers were planted on the steep places, a picture of a mortal paradise.

Several people were farming in the fields, and grass halls could be seen on the mountain, and women were also going in and out. Several children were playing and making trouble under the trees.

Wei Yuan climbed the mountain with Xuanyue, and everyone on the mountain looked at Wei Yuan curiously, their eyes full of curiosity, but they didn't give Wei Yuan the feeling of penetrating the body. It looked like they were all mortals and mortal objects.

Xuanyue walked all the way to the open space in front of the grass hall, knelt down towards the central grass hall, and kowtowed three times respectfully, saying: "Unfilial disciple Xuanyue, brings junior Wei Yuan here. Because junior Wei Yuan is going to a dangerous place, I want to borrow a senior immortal weapon to suppress Qi Luck, please ancestor's approval."

Wei Yuan then followed Xuanyue's words and manifested the broken high-rise building he was going to explore. Suddenly, a burst of exclamation sounded around.

Unknowingly, the men and women who were originally working gathered around, and several children stopped playing. What was even more speechless was that the cattle, horses, chickens, and dogs were not idle, all standing by and watching the fun.

A hen walked over, pecked Xuanyue's calf hard, and scolded while pecking: "Su Chunqiu, you have the nerve to wear a human skin! Such a small junior, who hasn't grown up yet, you send him to such a dangerous place. Even if you want to make the Heavenly Cyan Palace flourish, you can't do this, right? Why don't you go yourself?"

Xuanyue was pecked and jumped, and hurriedly explained: "Junior's cultivation is not enough to suppress the scene, so I have to ask the seniors to take action, so the enemy will not dare to mess around."

A cow that was still pulling a plow said: "It doesn't matter if the enemy messes around, we have our own means to deal with it."

As a result, before it finished speaking, with a slap, it was slapped on the head!

A woman appeared beside it, with the corners of her mouth and eyes drooping, and a mean and fierce face, and said to the cow: "There is no place for you to speak here! Have you finished the work, and you came out to watch the fun! Go back and plow the land!"

The cow looked unwilling and said to itself: "I just came over to drink water."

"You have worked for a day, and you can drink water eight hundred times!"

The cow was helpless and had to go back to work. As a result, the woman found that there was no one in the field, and then grabbed the horse hiding on the side, and drove them back to the field together.

At this time, Xuan Lu appeared in front of Wei Yuan and smiled: "If it really doesn't work, I'll go with you this time, I'm familiar with that side."

Before she finished speaking, a cold voice like ice sounded: "I'll go."

The grass hall door on the side opened, and a girl with a face like an iceberg walked out from inside. As soon as she appeared, Wei Yuan felt a stinging pain in his skin, as if he was being pricked by countless sharp needles.

The grass hall door on the right also opened, and a bald boy with wide clothes and a face no less beautiful than any woman walked out from inside, bowed and said: "Why does the sister need to take action for such a small matter, I'll just go."

The iceberg girl raised her eyebrows and said: "Are you going to grab it with me?"

The boy hurriedly said: "How dare I compete with the fourth sister. It's just that I find that world quite novel and want to experience it. It seems that there is my fate there, and I hope the sister will fulfill it."

The iceberg girl looked at the high-rise building manifested by Wei Yuan, pondered for a while, and said: "Alright."

For some reason, Wei Yuan felt a thick ominous feeling in his heart, as if he was standing on the edge of a high-rise building, about to be unable to stand, but someone came over and pushed him.

He was never a person who resigned himself to fate. He took a step forward and arrived in front of the iceberg girl, bowed and said: "Please sister take action!"

The girl frowned slightly, took a step back, opened the distance from Wei Yuan, and said: "How rude!"

Wei Yuan was stunned and didn't dare to take another step forward.

At this time, the boy walked over, grabbed Wei Yuan's arm, and laughed: "What are you afraid of, I won't eat you."
