Chapter 1014 Yellow Sand City

Zhou Ran and Yang Daoming, the leader of the Ming Kingdom, came to the outside of Huangsha City.

Although the Ming Dynasty was plagued by wars and disasters, its aura was strong and the land was fertile, so that the vegetation was dense, and many places in the country were lush.

But Huangsha City is completely different.

This place is located at the southernmost tip of the Ming Dynasty, with a dry climate and poor resources. Everything you see is a desert.

"There is yellow sand everywhere. It seems that the name Huangsha City comes from this." Zhou Ran said with a bitter smile.

Yang Daoming said helplessly: "Although the previous kings were deposed, they still have a certain degree of popularity, and these popularity will become weapons to subvert the entire dynasty! Therefore, the fiefdoms of the deposed kings will not be rich places, but It is as barren as Huangsha City! No matter how high the popularity is, there is no way to shake the new king without resources. "

"indeed so."

Zhou Ran nodded and headed towards Huangsha City with Yang Daoming.

Before the two of them entered the city, they saw that Huangsha City was being attacked.

The people attacking Huangsha City were an army of refugees, probably several hundred people in number.

Naturally, the combat effectiveness of the refugee army was not as good as that of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty. Zhou Ran had been in the Shui Yao Army. Although the combat effectiveness of the Shui Yao Army was not as good as that of other countries' armies, it was far superior to the refugees in front of him.

This group of refugees has loose military discipline and has no fighting skills at all. They rely on three powerful gods to take charge and constantly attack the walls of Huangsha City.

But even so, Huangsha City could no longer resist.

On top of the city, the city lord was shouting loudly.

"Soldiers, hold on! Reinforcements are coming. As long as you hold on, you can repel these bandits!"

Even so, Huangsha City is still unsustainable.

This city lord is only in the realm of god transformation. Apart from him, there is no usable combat power in Huangsha City.

Yang Daoming whispered to Zhou Ran: "Champion Hou, this city lord is named Yi Shuihan. He has an upright character. He offended the powerful officials of the Ming Dynasty, so he was exiled to the remote Huangsha City."

"Um."

Zhou Ran smiled slightly.

I came to Huangsha City for a big event, how could I not even enter the city gate?

Zhou Ran appeared in the air in a flash, standing in front of the refugee army.

The three powerful gods in the refugee army were stunned when they saw Zhou Ran.

Where did this guy come from?

Why did it appear suddenly?

"Who are you? Get out of here!" one of them shouted.

Zhou Ran didn't even think about answering. He just moved his fingers and directed his sharp sword energy towards the three powerful gods.

These three people were capable of serving as generals in the refugee army, but when they faced Zhou Ran, they were like a mouse meeting a cat.

With just one blow, the arm of one of the powerful gods was pierced by the sword energy.

The three of them knew very well that this guy was a reinforcement from Huangsha City, and he was a very powerful reinforcement.

"roll!"

Zhou Ran said coldly that he had no intention of killing anyone.

Seeing this, the three powerful god-transformers dared not stay any longer, so they could only lead their troops and leave angrily.

The refugee army retreated, and the Huangsha City soldiers on top of the city all looked at each other in shock.

Who is this person and why is he so powerful?

Was he sent by the general?

Zhou Ran landed in front of everyone and came to Yang Daoming.

"Let's go into town."

"yes!"

Zhou Ran's performance shocked the leader of the Ming Kingdom.

Yang Daoming nodded and bowed, not daring to show any disrespect to Zhou Ran.

When the two entered Huangsha City, the city lord Yi Shuihan immediately came over and bowed to them.

"You two, thank you very much for repelling the refugee army. I thank you on behalf of the entire Huangsha City! If you don't mind, please go to the city lord's mansion and I will host a banquet for you two!"

All Yi Shuihan said were polite words.

Zhou Ran smiled and pointed at Yang Daoming: "City Lord Yi, don't you know him?"

Yi Shuihan then looked Yang Daoming up and down, his eyes full of fear.

"country……"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Daoming.

"City Lord Yi, if you have anything to say, go to the City Lord's Mansion and tell him!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Yi Shuihan quickly invited Zhou Ran and Yang Daoming to the City Lord's Mansion.

After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Yi Shuihan led the two of them to the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion and ordered his servants to prepare food and drinks.

After everything was ready, Yi Shuihan knelt down to Yang Daoming and performed the courtesy of the king.

"Meet the King!"

"Get up!"

Yang Daoming asked Yi Shuihan to stand up, and then the three of them sat down.

Yi Shuihan looked guilty and said: "Master of the country, I'm really sorry, I didn't recognize you just now! Although I have been to the capital, the power of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the generals, and the people who are visited by foreign officials are also generals. Only I saw the Lord of the Kingdom once during a heaven-sacrifice ceremony, but I only took a look at it from a distance, so I wasn’t convinced just now.”

“He who does not know is not guilty.”

Yang Daoming forgave Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan added: "The general's order has been sent to Huangsha City, saying that the king is dead and that the general will temporarily assume the power of the king. He also said that many people pretending to be the king have appeared in the Ming Dynasty. If the city-state discovers it, he will be killed without mercy!”

The words of the Lord of Huangsha City made Yang Daoming furious.

"This bastard actually said that I was dead and that I was a fake! That guy ruined the army and caused the refugees to riot everywhere. He wanted to kill me and put the blame on me. Thanks to the champion, I survived. , escaped here. I didn’t expect that Hou Bufan would spread rumors everywhere!”

Yi Shuihan listened to the king's complaints and kept muttering in his heart.

It was rumored that the king and the general got along well, but now it seems that the two have already torn their faces apart.

Yi Shuihan said with a bitter face: "Lord, although you are the king of Ming, the general has been in power for many years, and no one can match his voice in Ming. Even if you take the lead in opposing the general, I am afraid that you will not get any good results. The city lords of each city dare not offend the general, so this time, I can't do anything and can only let you stay in the city lord's mansion for the time being."

"I know that."

Yang Daoming clenched his fists.

It seems that Yi Shuihan misunderstood. He thought that he came to Huangsha City to ask for help.

In this case, Yang Daoming was too lazy to explain. It was more important to help Zhou Ran find the core of the Shura Pillar of Ming.

"Lord Yi, the Champion Marquis has something to say to you!"

Yang Daoming changed the subject. At this time, a person walked into the secret room. It was Yi An, the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion.

Yi An was not only a housekeeper, but also took care of Yi Shuihan's household chores. During the war, he was also a military advisor, giving Yi Shuihan advice.

"Everyone, please enjoy!"

Yi An brought delicious dishes and drinks and placed them on the table. .

Zhou Ran and Yang Daoming were also hungry, so they stopped being polite and started to eat heartily.

Yi Shuihan also wanted to drink with the Lord of the State, and Yi An said, "Lord of the City, there is military intelligence outside the city!"
