C865 Bandits
The new Rising Sun City rose from the ground, and the millions of people immediately entered the joy of rebuilding their homes.
The Rising Sun City was several times bigger and wider than the previous Giant Stone City, but the number of people was several times smaller.
Under Ye Ba's arrangement, the millions of people had a very rich residence, and a smile appeared on their faces.
In the inner city, the patriarch of Huang Family had also finished counting all the belongings in the city and reported them to Ye Xu.
"Master, this is all the property of our Rising Sun City!"
Ye Xu took the list and glanced at it. After that, he frowned.
"Why is it so little?"
The items on the list were not much, but very little.
The patriarch of Huang Family said with an awkward expression, "Master, it's actually like this. We have a lot of treasures in Rising Sun City. However, not long ago, the ambassador from the Great Qin Empire came and took away most of the wealth in Rising Sun City. There's nothing we can do about it, because this is the rule of the Great Qin Empire! "
"Mm! The rule of the Great Qin Empire? Haha, how can this amount of food and money be enough to feed the entire city? "
Ye Xu said unhappily.
The patriarch of Huang Family also had an awkward expression on his face.
"Master, it's like this. There are many fields outside Giant Stone City. Recently, the harvest of food is enough to feed the whole city for a year. However, after Qin Kuang was killed, a large number of people left Giant Stone City. They left and harvested most of the ripe food. As a result, we don't have any food left! "
"If that's the case..."
Ye Xu suddenly realized that he was the one who started this.
"Alright, I got it. Call Huan Sha over and then you can go and do your work. I will solve the food problem!"
"Yes, Master!"
After the patriarch of Huang Family bowed, he left in a hurry. Not long after, Huan Sha walked over.
"Master, why are you calling me?"
Ye Xu smiled and said, "You must be tired of practicing the zither. Come with me for a walk!"
Then he held Huan Sha's hand.
Huan Sha was stunned at first, then her pretty face immediately turned red.
She had been cleansed by Ye Xu, and her muscles had been reborn. The tiny scars on her body had disappeared, and her skin had also become much whiter, just like white jade. Coupled with her slender figure, it was unknown how many young men in Rising Sun City had fallen for her.
However, Huan Sha's heart had already been with Ye Xu for a long time.
The two of them walked out of the inner city hand in hand and walked on a brand new street. Looking at the busy crowd, they felt relaxed.
"Ah, this kind of life is what I want!"
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west. The golden sunlight scattered across the horizon and shone on the Rising Sun City, turning the entire city golden.
Ye Xu squinted his eyes. He had a feeling that his body and mind were free.
Huan Sha lowered her head and followed behind Ye Xu with a red face. She felt extremely shy in her heart.
The two of them did not disturb Ye Ba and the others. They walked out of the city and came to the east side of the city.
This was the place where the food was planted in Rising Sun City.
There was a large area of farmland with many people taking care of it.
Many of the golden grains had been harvested, and the field was now sparsely filled with green Spiritual Rice.
The Spiritual Rice was also a special type of food produced by the Chaotic Continent, a type of food that had absorbed the spiritual energy. It contained a very rich spiritual energy, each as big as a child's fist. An ordinary person would only need to eat a few of them a day, and they would be able to strengthen their body. They were the main food of the Great Qin Empire.
The ripe food had been harvested by the people who had run away, and what was left was unripe food.
Not only could the food not be eaten, but it was also poisonous. It needed to absorb the Sun Moon Essence to clear out the poison in the body before it could be eaten.
"The city lord is here... The City Lord is here..."
Seeing Ye Xu and Huan Sha holding hands, the busy people in the field looked up and cheered.
Their faces were full of admiration.
After rebuilding Rising Sun City, Ye Xu obtained a large group of Faith Power.
This was also the result of Ye Xu's hard work.
The civilians of Rising Sun City put down the farming work in their hands and came to Ye Xu's side.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about me. Continue with your work!"
Ye Xu said with a smile.
He was different from Qin Kuang. Qin Kuang was high and mighty, looking down on everyone. Ye Xu, on the other hand, was friendly and amiable. Although he was powerful, he did not put on airs at all.
Therefore, the people of Rising Sun City admired Ye Xu from the bottom of their hearts.
Just as everyone turned around and busied themselves, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. Then, someone cried out in surprise.
"The bandits are here... the bandits are here..."
The busy crowd revealed frightened expressions and ran back to Ye Xu's side.
"What's going on?"
Ye Xu frowned.
Someone said, "City Lord, this group of bandits have been roaming around Rising Sun City for a long time. Every now and then, they come to Rising Sun City to collect rent and rob Spiritual Rice to sell!"
Ye Xu smiled and said, "Oh, could it be that Qin Kuang doesn't care?"
The people said with a bitter face, "Qin Kuang went to siege a few times, but it was all settled. Later on, everyone was used to this matter!"
Ye Xu laughed and said, "Haha, so these bandits should have a lot of food in their hands!"
The horse hooves flew around, and with a shout, dozens of bandits rode on fierce horses and rushed in front of Ye Xu.
"Useless things, today it's time to hand over the Spiritual Rice!"
The bald one-eyed man in the lead waved the long blade in his hand and pointed it at Ye Xu.
"Eh, there's actually a beauty here..."
He saw Huan Sha, who was wearing fluttering white clothes, and his eyes lit up.
Huan Sha's brows were filled with spring, her skin was snow white and her figure was slender. Clearly, she was a peerless beauty.2
Ye Xu stared at the bald man and said lightly, "Who are you?"
The bald man stared at Ye Xu. He originally wanted to scold him, but not only that, when faced with Ye Xu's calm gaze, the bald man actually felt a little guilty.
He shouted, "My name is One-eye Dragon, I am the Three-Headed Chief of the Giant Stone Village. Kid, what are you?"
Ye Xu smiled and said, "Who am I? You don't have the right to know where the Giant Stone Stronghold is. Do you have a lot of food?"
One-eye Dragon was stunned. He was here to rob, but why did it seem like Ye Xu was robbing him?
A wave of anger suddenly burned. He immediately lit up his long knife and put it on Ye Xu's neck.
"What a pretty boy. You are really not afraid of death. Grandpa is asking you a question. You should hand over the food for this month!"
Ye Xu sighed and said, "Something happened in the city. A large number of people fled and collected most of the Spiritual Rice. Now there are no more Spiritual Rice in the city!"
"If there is no Spiritual Rice, then use this beauty to pay rent!"
One-eye Dragon grinned and locked his eyes on Huan Sha.
Ye Xu ignored the long knife on his neck and turned his head to smile. "Huan Sha, what do you think..."
