"There are more than 5,000 people at most. Our Wind Clan population has been decreasing in recent years."

Feng Changsheng lowered his head and said.

"With more than 5,000 people...it's quite difficult."

Zi Yan nodded.

She still had to go into the mountains and see with her own eyes to be sure.

"It's quite difficult. Life in the mountains is not good, and there has been famine recently." Feng Changsheng sighed.

"Is there not enough food?"

Before Zi Yan could speak, Yin Yan asked eagerly.

"Yes, brother, one-third of the grain you transported last month was sand and cannot be eaten."

The wind is long and the road is prosperous.

"How can this profiteer do this?"

Silver Eyes clenched his fists angrily.

Last month, he found someone to buy a batch of grain and shipped it to the Feng family.

He was not the one handling the food, and it was impossible for him to inspect the grain carefully. Unexpectedly, someone was tricking him.

"I'll settle the score with them later...wait until I find another batch of food."

Originally Yinyan could not get food, but now that he has established a relationship with Yang Weiqing, it is not difficult to buy some food.

"Don't worry, we can save some food and we can still get through it," Feng Changsheng said.

"It's better to transport food over there and see how much is needed."

Purple smoke.

Save food...how to do that?

She herself experienced the feeling of hunger.

After her father Jiang Shentong disappeared, she was in a state of semi-starvation for a while. Later, she was taken in by Mr. Yang for a while, and then taken into the Hou Mansion by Yang Ruoqing, and she was able to get rid of hunger.

To this day, she still remembers that feeling.

"Thank you, sir."

Feng Changsheng was a little excited.

Obviously, if Zi Yan has spoken, the food will definitely be in place.

At this time, Zi Yan was still disguised as a young master, and she did not tell Feng Changsheng and Gu Xiuzhuang their real names.

"Yinyan, please let Shopkeeper Yang make arrangements at this time."

Zi Yan ordered.

"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver a message to him."

Silver Eyes stood up and walked outside.

When he opened the door and walked out, he suddenly faced someone and almost hit him.

He raised his brows and was about to scold him when he took a closer look and found that the person coming was Gu Xiuzhuang.

Gu Xiuzhuang's face was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were full of panic, and he was out of breath as he ran.

"Brother, it's not good, our clan has been attacked."

"Don't panic, come in and talk."

Silver Eyes was obviously much calmer. He immediately reached out and grabbed Gu Xiuzhuang's wrist, and then dragged him into the room.

At this time, Zi Yan and Feng Changsheng both heard the noise outside and saw Yin Yan dragging Gu Xiu Zhuang into the door and closing the door.

"Now in front of adults, you tell the matter."

Silver Eyes whispered.

"Okay, sir, I went to deliver a message, but I received a letter from the cottage. We have several cottages, and they were broken into by strange killers, causing heavy casualties..."

Gu Xiuzhuang stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, his eyes still filled with anxiety and panic.

"What now? Those killers are still killing people?"

Zi Yan asked.

"I don't know, the news I received is that the killer broke in..."

Gu Xiuzhuang was extremely anxious. His relatives were still in the village. Those unarmed indigenous people had little ability to resist. Even if there were escorts protecting the village, the casualties had already been caused. No one knew what the situation was now.

Not sure.

"Yinyan, call someone and we'll meet outside the city."

Zi Yan and Yin Yan agreed on a meeting place, and then they split up.

Zi Yan asked Luo Fengtang for instructions and quietly waited outside the city gate with ten elite guards.

All these personal guards were brought over from Sixiang City by Luo Fengtang.

All of them had participated in the battle of Sixiang City, and their bodies had the evil aura crawling out of the dead.

"Master Zi, how long will we stay in the mountains this time?"

One of the guards asked with a smile.

They are not unfamiliar with Ziyan at all.

In the past, some of them were unconvinced and provoked, but in the end they were cured into submission.

These killers don't have much respect for the officials appointed by the imperial court. They only fear the strong, and Ziyan is the strong one who can subdue them.

"It's better to be serious. There are strong men in the mountains. Don't let the boat capsize in the gutter."

Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.

"It's a good thing to have strong people. I see, if we don't show force, they won't be honest and obedient. Those mountain people are more cunning than the others, and they are very weird in their hearts."

One of the guards said.

"Let's act according to the situation. We don't provoke others, but if anyone provokes us, we don't have to be polite and will fight back."

Ziyan's eyes narrowed slightly.

When cooperating with the indigenous people in the mountains, it is still necessary to clearly distinguish priorities. In her opinion, the "owner" must be the court.

"With Master Zi's words, we can rest assured."

The guards looked at each other and all looked excited.

They trust Zi Yan.

And Zi Yan's words were actually an endorsement for them in advance.

As long as they act within the framework, Ziyan will handle all the consequences for them.

What kind of boss is the most popular?

He must be able to fight for the interests of his subordinates and be shouldered with responsibilities at critical moments.

Such a boss is already perfect.

"But this time we are mainly dealing with strange killers. The identity of the enemy is currently unknown, so it is not appropriate to conflict with the mountain people for the time being."

Purple smoke.

"Don't worry, sir, we know what's appropriate."

"Yes, as long as they are respectful, why should we bother them?"

"We just can't let them underestimate us, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

The guards spoke one after another.

They followed Luo Fengtang and fought in various places, but they didn't know the rules of this world.

Many times, the most primitive rule is that the stronger one wins.

While they were talking, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, raising smoke and dust on the ground.

Everyone immediately stopped talking, put their palms on their weapons, and stared ahead.

They also brought horses with them, but in such a hurry, they had no time to mount them.

"Don't be nervous, these are Silver Eyes and the others."

Purple smoke.

There were only five people in total.

When they got closer, they all reined in their horses' ropes.

After the horse stopped, Yinyan and others got off the horse.

Silver Eyes saluted, and the other four men followed suit.

Silver Eyes said with a look of shame: "Sir, these are the only ones, the others are not good at killing."

Zi Yan glanced at it.

The few people brought by Silver Eyes have a strong aura about them, and you can tell at a glance that they are all good players with lives at hand.

"With these people, it's pretty good."

Zi Yan did not question it, but instead expressed approval.

You must know that it is not easy for Yinyan to lurk in Yizhou City. The hidden guards he has developed are all figures from various religions. They each have some talents, but most of them are not above fighting.

"They all escaped from Banzhou in the southwest, and they all have tricks on their hands, but they are not evil people."
