"Sigh, it's over, it's over, Liuzhou is already finished!"

"I heard the rebel army has now attacked Linzhou; I'm afraid it won't be long before they hit Jiangzhou!"

Early in the morning, the two brothers Li Erniu and Zhang Dazhuang drove a donkey cart carrying corpses to the graveyard and told Lin Feng the news they had heard.

"So fast!?"

Lin Feng was also slightly shocked when he heard them say this. Could those rebel armies really be gods blocking gods and Buddhas blocking Buddhas?

"That's not it, some wealthy families in the city have already started dragging their families to rent boats and prepare to run north!"

Li Erniu looked exceptionally troubled; people like them who worked for the government couldn't run even if they wanted to.

"Hehe, they run fast enough."

Lin Feng smiled speechlessly; it seemed to be the same thing in his previous life.

As long as there was military chaos somewhere, the rich and powerful would definitely be the first to run.

"Forget it, we can't run, why talk so much?"

Zhang Dazhuang seemed annoyed by the talk and shouted at Li Erniu directly.

"Sigh, that's true, if we run elsewhere, we're just waiting to die; at least we won't starve in Luohe City......"

Lin Feng grabbed a corpse and dragged it into the graveyard. The news of Liuzhou's fall didn't seem very important to him.

The one who should really have a headache was Li Yanbing, who had just taken power. She received the news of Liuzhou's fall in the middle of the night last night.

For this reason, she didn't sleep for the whole night, but kept mobilizing personnel and arranging city defense matters.

Because of taking over the entire Luohe City in one fell swoop yesterday, the city defense army was also greatly affected and couldn't form combat power for a while.

Of course, Li Yanbing didn't really count on these ordinary soldiers. In the middle of the night, the city walls of Luohe City were replaced by soldiers wearing black heavy armor.

Even the guards at the city gate were two heavy-armored Zhiren. These, according to Li Yanbing's orders, stopped any Guiyi and Gui-riders approaching Luohe City.

As for those ordinary bailiffs and clerks, they were not affected and continued to work according to their past habits.

"My Lord, the Seal-Holders of the Zhenguisi from six cities including Jinhua City and Mingyan City have all arrived!"

In the Zhenguisi, Li He reported this to Li Yanbing, who was busy arranging many matters.

"Good"

Perhaps because she was a Gui-rider, Li Yanbing didn't look very tired at this moment. Hearing the report, she stood up and walked toward the side hall.

"Greetings, Lord Li!"

Seeing Li Yanbing enter, the Seal-Holders of the Zhenguisi from other cities who had come here bowed to her one after another.

If they had any contempt before coming, then when they arrived at the gate of Luohe City, this mentality turned into shock and caution.

Because whether it was the heavy-armored Zhiren guarding the city gate or the heavy-armored Zhiren standing on the city wall, they could definitely kill them!

They didn't know the origin of those heavy-armored Zhiren, but such a large number was enough to show that the strength of the person before them was extraordinary.

"Greetings, everyone. I won't talk nonsense. Liuzhou has fallen, and Linzhou is in imminent danger."

"If Linzhou also falls, then it will be our Jiangzhou's turn next!"

Li Yanbing didn't even sit down and directly explained her meaning to everyone present.

"Now the imperial court is weak, the old general Wei Zhong who went to Liuzhou to suppress the rebellion has died, and the Zhenguisi has also lost many Zhiren and Grandmaster experts."

"If we cannot unite to resist the military disaster next, then the present of Liuzhou will be the tomorrow of Jiangzhou!"

Hearing Li Yanbing say this, a Seal-Holder from the Jinhua City Zhenguisi said directly: "Lord Li, just tell us what to do. The crisis is no longer a secret, and Lord Sishu also has orders for us to cooperate fully!"

Hearing the other party being so sensible, Li Yanbing was also stunned, then realized that these people must have seen the heavy-armored Zhiren she arranged, which was why they became so obedient.

"That's good. Next, the Zhenguisi of each city will follow my command. I will send people to help you suppress the Gui disasters within your borders and clean up all kinds of restless scoundrels!"

"After completion, immediately assemble troops to the south to prepare to resist the attack of the Liuzhou rebel army!"

However, this was exactly what she wanted, so Li Yanbing ordered them like this.

No matter what, Jiangzhou could no longer be a scattered mess like in the past, otherwise, they would be in chaos before those rebel armies even attacked!

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

"......"

Soon, these people quickly left Luohe City, and along with them were the Silver-Badge Divine Catchers under Li Yanbing and the heavy-armored Zhiren.

"Li He, pay attention to the news from all places at all times. In addition, all Gui suppressed and captured must be imprisoned in the Gui prison to wait for disposal!"

"Subordinate obeys the order!"

In the Ding-character graveyard, Lin Feng noticed the movements of the heavy-armored Zhiren and couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, the Zhenguisi really has big moves!"

For him, this was a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters. It was simply too easy to secretly get some valuable Gui back through the heavy-armored Zhiren!

"But that woman is really decisive. She says she'll do it, she does it. Of the three thousand heavy-armored Zhiren, only one thousand are left in Luohe City, and the rest are all sent to support other cities."

Li Yanbing's performance was clearly not just to save the common people of the world. From her taking control of Luohe City, it could be seen that her ambitions were probably not small.

But this was also a good thing for Lin Feng. After all, the stronger the other party's power and the larger the territory controlled, the more various items could be collected.

Lin Feng was now looking forward to harvesting a few more hundred-year-old sunken-yin wooden coffins and underworld pottery bowls. Without these things, the growth speed of the Tou Gui, Puppet Gui, and Qianmian Zhi Gui was really too slow.

"Woof woof~"

Suddenly, a few dog barks rang out. Lin Feng looked up and saw that the visitor was the familiar "Yan Guard" Bai Yuanlong.

"Brother Lin, good mood, actually drinking tea here!"

"Just coarse tea."

Lin Feng pointed to the small stool beside him, signaling him to sit wherever he wanted.

"Haha, this tea tastes good!"

Bai Yuanlong sat down, drank a cup of tea, and then praised it insincerely.

"You didn't come to drink tea with me, did you?"

Lin Feng didn't care whether what he said was true or false, took a sip of tea, and asked him.

"That's not it. There's a notice in the city saying that those who reclaim wasteland outside the city will be tax-exempt for three years. In addition, there is also recruitment. If you join the army, you get money and food to help settle your family business."

Bai Yuanlong seemed to say it casually, but Lin Feng felt there was something to it.

"Do you want to join the army?"

Lin Feng looked at him with a strange gaze. Although he didn't know whose person this guy was, they had gotten along okay during this time.

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, naturally he cannot be trapped in a square inch for a lifetime!"

Bai Yuanlong said heroically, looking like an ambitious young man full of blood.

"Oh, then go. I hope that when you become a general one day, you won't forget me, this useless gravedigger."

Lin Feng nodded seriously and then looked at Bai Yuanlong with encouraging eyes.

"...... Of course I won't forget, then Brother Lin, let's part here. The rivers and lakes are far, see you later!"

Hearing Lin Feng's unhesitating words, Bai Yuanlong swallowed all his words back.

In the end, he could only get up, bow to Lin Feng, leave this sentence, and then stride toward the outside of the graveyard. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
