Chapter 148: Victory of the Wedding "Of course! Lord Fu, I didn't expect you to be so strong!" Yuwen Tai crushed Liu Zhuang under him with all his strength, twisting his waist ninety degrees to the side. His left hand in beast form stretched out like lightning and grabbed Liu Zhuang's left hand that was locking his throat. His sharp beast claws suddenly burst out with bright electric light, forming even more terrifying thunder claws in the air. With one blow, Liu Zhuang's skin was torn and blood splattered, and he was forced to loosen his grip on his throat. But at this moment, Liu Zhuang also drew out the ring-handled sword with his right hand and wanted to put it on Yuwen Tai's neck again! "clang!!!" At the critical moment, Yuwen Tai also drew out his spare scimitar and fiercely blocked Liu Zhuang's attack. He quickly chanted the standard Chinese spell, and his left hand fingers changed colorfully. Almost sticking to Liu Zhuang's face, he cast a two-ring flame ray! A large number of flames compressed and condensed into a beam of laser flames, whistling out from his fingertips! Liu Zhuang's four pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needle tips, and he tilted his head to try to dodge, but the flame ray was too close. Even with the protection of his double pupils, he could not completely avoid it. The scorching flame laser flew directly past his cheek, leaving a fiery black burn mark on his left face. But at the same time, Liu Zhuang also condensed an ice spear more than three meters long again, and applied a super magical effect, accompanied by a circle of dark blue arcane aura covering it. The three-meter-long ice spear suddenly expanded to a terrifying length of four and a half meters, brushing against Yuwen Tai's soft waist and nailing it to the ground, tearing a horrible frostbite mark on her fair waist. "The Lord will win!!!" "Come on Chief!!!"
The spectators on both sides cheered loudly for their leader and applauded at the tense fight. The two were fighting extremely closely at this moment. Liu Zhuang was pinned down by Yuwen Tai and couldn't get up, but Yuwen Tai couldn't get up either because of the pressure he put on him. The two just lay on the ground and fought fiercely, waving their ring-handled swords in their right hands. Countless sparks shot out from the friction of the blades, while their left hands continued to cast spells, and they once again exchanged a wave of flame rays and ice spears! Liu Zhuang endured the severe pain of being burned by the flames and frowned slightly. It was not a good idea to continue fighting like this. Centaurs were two-hearted and three-lung, with thick skin and flesh. He would definitely be the first one to collapse after such a battle of spells. Therefore, when Yuwen Tai cast his spell for the third time, Liu Zhuang also cast a flame ray. Two beams of ultimate flame lasers whizzed out from the fingertips of the two men at the same time, collided heavily with each other, and continued to burn in the air, destroying each other, and finally exploded into a ball of brilliant fireworks. They used the same spell to counter the opponent's magic. Not only that, Liu Zhuang's left hand suddenly passed through the fireworks cloud produced by the flame explosion, grabbed Yuwen Tai's left hand, and asked her to stop making the casting gesture. By the way, he hit her mouth hard with a headbutt, which stopped the new round of spells abruptly. Yuwen Tai's beautiful eyes were filled with anger as he began to wrestle with all his might. He tried to use his left hand to get rid of Liu Zhuang's restraint, but was surprised to find that Liu Zhuang's left hand was as unshakable as a mountain. As a person known for his strength, agility and physique, he actually lost to a Han Chinese in a battle of strength? ? ? There was no other way, so Yuwen Tai had to turn himself into a groundhog again, break free from Liu Zhuang's suppression, and burrow into the ground. Liu Zhuang just stood up from the ground, and found that the ground under his feet was accompanied by red flames, and a small hillock was bulging. He quickly dodged, and the next second, the rising land exploded like a volcanic eruption! A beam of blazing laser flames, accompanied by splashing soil and rocks, broke out from the ground like a fountain! It turned into a beam of dazzling flames and rushed straight into the sky! After four consecutive flame rays, Yuwen Tai was either scratched or dodged. In addition to the Fist of Khorne he had used before, Yuwen Tai's magic power had been consumed by more than half, and he was a little annoyed. Through various tests, she had confirmed Liu Zhuang's ability: This man was too strange. His agility was not high, but he could dodge her attacks and always find her weaknesses to launch a fatal attack! His dragon blood might be a simple enhancement type, and it was a specialization and enhancement for attack and dodge. So she stopped wasting precious mana and switched to another spell - [Arcane Missiles]. A few seconds later, just as Liu Zhuang was thinking about how to deal with Yuwen Tai who was hiding underground and casting a spell, another piece of flat land suddenly bulged upwards and exploded like an erupting volcano. However, this time, what spewed out from the top of the mountain was not arcane flames, but three dark purple arcane missiles. The three missiles whistled like meteors, tearing through the sky and rushing towards him fiercely. Liu Zhuang dodged again. The flying speed of the arcane missiles was about the same as that of arrows. If he concentrated, he could still dodge them. But the next second, the three arcane missiles drew three strange arcs in the air, turned forcibly, and hit him heavily one after another, and then quickly detonated, turning into three bright and beautiful arcane fireworks on his armor! The shock wave of the explosion made him retreat again and again, half kneeling on the ground. Liu Zhuang calmed down and found the problem. This was [First-Ring Shaping: Arcane Missiles]! It was a very simple damage spell, and its power was the weakest among all the Shaping spells of the same type. But the only problem is - Arcane Missiles is a tracking spell, it's guaranteed to hit! "Let me see how you can hide now!" The next moment, three more arcane missiles burst out from the ground! Like a small volcano spewing purple molten lava, they came towards him again. It seemed that Yuwen Tai wanted to hide underground and use this small-power spell that was sure to hit to consume him to death. Liu Zhuang took a deep breath, and withstood three arcane explosions. He endured the severe pain and cast a spell again, using a [Flame Arrow] to add a fire enchantment to all the arrows in his quiver. The arrowheads of each arrow were wrapped in terrifying flames. Then, he threw all the arrows into the raised miniature volcanic caves on the ground. The thick smoke from the flames spread in the underground tunnels dug by Yuwen Tai. Then he used the soil on the ground to block the exits that had been blown open, so that the thick smoke could not dissipate! He forced Yuwen Tai, who was unable to breathe, to dig a new exit for ventilation. Even when she was small after she turned into a groundhog, she made noises when she dug out the breathing hole!
While Yuwen Tai was digging out a new vent despite the smoke, Liu Zhuang directly released a fireball spell with the largest range and power among the three-ring spells at the tunnel, causing a flaming fireball to explode at the entrance of the cave in an instant! It turned into a cloud of flaming gunpowder! The violent explosion shock wave carried a large amount of embers, smoke, soil, and a black marmot, splashing in all directions! Yuwen Tai had no choice but to change back into his hybrid beast form. She was almost choked to death by the smoke just now, so she didn't dare to continue trying and had to go ahead with it. At this moment, although both sides were seriously injured, Yuwen Tai was already in a state of confusion. She couldn't understand why she lost to a seemingly ordinary Han Chinese in terms of strength! Liu Zhuang was wrapped in five completely different divine flames. The sun splashed on his tall and handsome body, forming a chaotic shadow of five gods on the ground, gradually covering Yuwen Tai's body. However, he couldn't run away from this battle, and couldn't lose. If he lost, he would become the other party's concubine! Yuwen Tai took a deep breath and held his spear in the battle! The two long spears thrust, swept, lifted, chopped, spun, and collided heavily again and again. Every attack of his would be seen through by the opponent, and every attack of the opponent was extremely difficult for him to block! Liu Zhuang became braver and more passionate as the battle went on. His dragon blood ability had only reached its full state a few days ago, and he had not yet fully adapted to it. The battle with Yuwen Tai was like a whetstone, constantly tempering his strength, making him more and more adept at the double pupil vision, making it increasingly difficult for Yuwen Tai to resist. The two fought bloody for thirty or forty rounds. Liu Zhuang stabbed at Yuwen Tai's face with a spear. When she was defending, he changed his tactics and suddenly stabbed at the center of her horse's legs. Then he swept horizontally, causing Yuwen Tai's left front hoof to hang in the air. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. When she got up, she found that Liu Zhuang's long spear was across her throat. "You are so good at fighting! Taiyuan admits defeat! I will marry you, okay?" Yuwen Tai was quite efficient and decisive. Seeing that he had lost, he surrendered immediately. Chapter 149: Ice and Fire As soon as the news of Yuwen Tai's marriage to Liu Zhuang came out, the mentality of the ten thousand households underwent subtle changes. From a customary point of view, Liu Zhuang married Yuwen Tai using our grassland methods. Moreover, after several months of contact, we found that this Han governor was not like the other Han aristocratic families we had contacted before. In fact, he was very open-minded. Apart from registering the people as equals, he did not force us to change any customs or culture. He even built pastures and horse farms for us to graze. According to the rules of the grassland, Yuwen Tai had a duel with Tuoba Yun, and not only did he lose, he was also captured alive by Tuoba Yun. So our chieftain position should be transferred from Yuwen Tai to Tuoba Yun. The loser is not qualified to be the chieftain. Before, everyone thought that the battle did not count because they looked down on Tuoba Yun, who returned to the Han Dynasty and was a traitor to the Xianbei. But now, everyone has returned to Han for survival, so who is looking down on whom? ! From the perspective of the etiquette of the Central Plains, Tuoba Yun was Liu Zhuang's wife, and Yuwen Tai was Liu Zhuang's concubine. Tuoba Yun was naturally superior to Yuwen Tai, and she was indeed more suitable to be our chief. However, Liu Zhuang has now changed her name to a Wanhu who commands ten Qianhu. The wife of the chief on the grassland also has extremely strong power. What's more, Liu Zhuang was Tuoba Yun's only spouse, and he also defeated Yuwen Tai. So whether we are talking from the perspective of grassland rules or Central Plains etiquette, we should indeed obey Liu Zhuang and Tuoba Yun. There is nothing wrong with this couple from any logical point of view. Although he is a Han Chinese, the weird thing is that this guy does have the legal right to rule over the Xianbei tribes. As long as he can lead everyone to live a good life, and even help them get promoted and make money, then just work under him first. By defeating Yuwen Tai head-on and forming an alliance with him, Liu Zhuang finally gained a preliminary foothold in ruling over these 50,000-plus men and horses. He simply stayed in Jiexiu for a while to coordinate the work here, explaining to this group of people how to take their excess grazing output, such as mutton, dairy products, furs, and bone carvings to the nearby market to sell for money, and then buy the silk, porcelain, tea, fruits, and various crops you need. Economically, he integrated these Centaurs into his own Hedong County. The addition of this tribe of Centaurs instantly brought down the price of mutton in Hedong County. Even ordinary people could buy one or two meals of mutton a week to start with, and milk and goat milk were everywhere. The Centaurs could also obtain a stable supply of wheat, corn, and various fruits and vegetables from these farmers. Both sides got what they needed, and the two sides gradually integrated economically. In terms of culture, if you want to buy these things, you have to use the Han Dynasty's five-zhu coins, right? To do business, you have to learn to read Chinese characters, right? You have to speak a few words of Chinese, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be expensive to hire an extra translator? Liu Zhuang did not ask these people to change any customs on the grassland, but only asked them to follow the laws of the Han Dynasty. However, it didn't take long before the Wuzhu coins became the common currency of these 50,000 people. A large number of Xianbei people also spontaneously learned some common Chinese and in fact had begun to sinicize. On an auspicious day, surrounded by a group of horse chiefs and Han Chinese civil and military officials, Liu Zhuang openly married Yuwen Tai as his third concubine and sent her to the bridal chamber amid the cheers of the crowd. Liu Zhuang slowly lifted the veil of Black Otter and stroked her shiny fur and black hair. The touch was excellent, even better than silk, making people love it. The edges of Ha's black hair, under the illumination of lights at different angles, constantly interweave and change in the rainbow of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. Even the slightest change in light and shadow will make countless brilliant streams of light dance in her black hair, as cool as the colorful stars twinkling in the dark universe. However, all the brilliant colors will eventually fade into a pure black. "How beautiful! How did the hair grow to this color?" "It's natural. I have to take good care of it and groom it every week, so it becomes more and more beautiful." The black otter proudly displayed her hair. Liu Zhuang's fingers gently stroked her back, patting and scratching her handsome and slender back. The black otter squinted her eyes in comfort. As the horse's body was too long, human hands could only scratch the front half but not the back half. Therefore, she enjoyed the massage service from others. Liu Zhuang's observation ability with his double pupils is top-notch. At this distance, he can even confirm that it would be most comfortable to touch Heita through the subtle changes in Heita's facial expressions. Heita quickly got into the mood, but was a little confused.
"Well, on the grassland, mothers usually teach people about sex. But in recent years, due to the cold wave, the grassland has become more and more chaotic. When I was still a child, a group of powerful people who migrated from the northern desert attacked my tribe. My parents and eldest brother all died in the battle. I was raised by my third brother, who also died in the battle last year. That's why I inherited the position of chief. How can you have a baby after you get married? Just hold the baby and sleep with it?" "It's okay. I'll teach you. Be good and sit on the bed first." Liu Zhuang comforted Heita, then took out some wonderful little props, slowly penetrated into her daisy, injected warm liquid into her intestines, and began enema. Although it felt strange, Black Otter was inexperienced after all and thought it was a normal procedure, so he just let him do it. Soon his stomach became swollen and unbearable. With a blushing face, he emptied the liquid in his stomach as Liu Zhuang grinned evilly, and then was fed again until he was cleaned. Although I felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure, it was still weird to do this in front of other people, and I had an inexplicable sense of shame. Then, Liu Zhuang applied some lubricating oil and took out a string of beads that were ground into balls from animal bones and strung together with ropes. The arrangement of these beads was quite peculiar; the first one was very small, and the beads got bigger as they went on. Black Otter looked at Liu Zhuang curiously as he stuffed these beads into his daisy one by one, feeling a strange sensation in his lower body. "Then, you transform into a hybrid form, revealing those two furry animal ears." "This isn't right! Have you been teasing me since we walked in?" Yuwen Tai immediately realized the problem and said it shyly. "This is definitely not a normal procedure! Few people on the grassland have the ability of dragon blood, and even fewer can transform into beast form! You must be fooling me!" "But it's cute to have two round ears on top of your head." Liu Zhuang's innocent words left Black Otter speechless. With blushing cheeks, he reluctantly began his hybrid transformation, mixing animal features into his human body. For example, a pair of furry, round animal ears sprouted from his head, and his hooves and fingers turned into sharp claws, making him look even cuter. Afterwards, Liu Zhuang himself also used the magic of human transformation to transform himself into a three-meter-six giant. In front of him, Black Otter changed from a tall and sexy mare to a cute and petite foal in an instant. Even the already extremely majestic lance under his crotch doubled in size and weighed eight times more! And this spell, when combined with super magic persistence, lasts for 24 hours. Black Otter was a little scared at the moment, but it was too late. Liu Zhuang could easily press her under him, use his long spear to push open the tender petals, slowly penetrate into the pink cave, push the countless layers to both sides, turn them into his own shape, and finally tear the membrane and reach the heart of the flower, causing Black Otter to let out bursts of spring cries mixed with pain and satisfaction. Liu Zhuang looked at the reaction of the beautiful woman under him, and pressed her down on the bed with his huge body. One hand slowly stroked her plump and firm buttocks, and the other hand kneaded her delicate and small breasts, relieving her pain and enhancing her physical pleasure. According to her physical reaction, he slowly thrust the giant spear in and out. After making sure that she had adapted, Liu Zhuang began to gradually speed up. After a while, the pink layers of flesh became moist, and they spontaneously squirmed and trembled, responding to the long spear that penetrated her flesh, and an alluring moan came from her mouth. The physique of the centaurs is stronger than that of humans. Liu Zhuang knew that ordinary methods would not be able to subdue the centaurs under him. The wonderful props he had prepared before came in handy at this moment. The beads of the bone carving were extremely cold, and Liu Zhuang's long spear was extremely hot. The cold and the hot invaded the cave separated by only a thin layer of flesh at the same time, which made Black Otter unable to control himself. Now, while Liu Zhuang thrust his waist straight into the center of the flower, he suddenly pulled out three beads. The different sized balls brought a different kind of friction and stimulation to the long spear through a layer of flesh wall. One cold and one hot, one in and one out, also made Heita unable to extricate himself, moaning, and every piece of beautiful flesh on his body trembled in bliss! His hands tightly grasped the bed sheet, making it a mess. Seeing that she was getting into the mood, Liu Zhuang also attacked with all his might. With the combination of ice and fire and a two-pronged strategy, he soon made Black Otter dizzy and fainted on the bed in extreme bliss. Chapter 150: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain The next day, Black Otter recovered quickly and burst out with even more vigorous energy. She pestered Liu Zhuang to come several times in the morning. Her energy was incredibly vigorous. Although this time, she was forced to faint before she gave up. The little girl became addicted after tasting the happiness. Moreover, as a member of the grassland people, she had no scruples about etiquette and laws. She pestered Liu Zhuang whenever she had time. She was the most active member of Liu Zhuang's harem, no doubt about it. Liu Zhuang stayed in Jiexiu until the autumn harvest, and initially stabilized the ten thousand households of the troops. He also promoted Tuoba Yun to the chief of all the troops, that is, the leader of ten thousand households. He subtly transformed the Yuwen Xianbei into the Tuoba Xianbei, and then returned to Anyi. The autumn wind blew, and the bent grass revealed fat cattle and sheep in the breeze. The golden wheat fields surged with waves of harvest under the autumn wind. The people harvested the crops happily. All the harvests this year belonged to them, and 60% of the harvests next year would belong to them! If they were lucky enough to be selected as soldiers, they would not only be exempted from corvée labor, but also have 70% of the crops to themselves. Everything seemed so beautiful. Under Liu Zhuang's governance, Hedong had begun to regain its vitality. The farmers who worked under the aristocratic families were extremely jealous when they saw that the farmers who worked for the lord of the mansion were exempt from taxes this year and had low taxes next year. There were even many slaves from the aristocratic families who fled the compound and asked the heads of the military farming systems under Liu Zhuang to take them in. However, when Liu Zhuang returned to Anyi from Jiexiu after a few months, he clearly felt that some changes had taken place in Anyi. The same talismans were posted on the houses on both sides of the street. Liu Zhuang did not take it seriously at first, but when he arrived at the second street, he saw a large number of these things posted on the streets, and he felt something was wrong. "Is this some local custom? Why haven't I seen it before?" Liu Zhuang looked around the street curiously, and several clerks who came to pick him up hurriedly replied.
"Your Excellency may not know that an old immortal has recently descended from Anyi. He is very powerful! He can easily cure patients that the nearby doctors cannot cure, and he also casts spells and sits on the altar to ensure that the sun shines brightly during the autumn harvest, so that the people can harvest and dry the grain with peace of mind. Everyone respects him." "So, does this have anything to do with the talismans?" Liu Zhuang asked with some surprise. "Oh, the old immortal said this thing can ward off disasters and drive away evil spirits, so I bought one and hung it outside the door, and everyone else pooled their money to buy some more and hung one for our government office as well." The clerk's joyful words made Liu Zhuang's face change. My double pupils can see the properties of any magic item. The talismans on the street are obviously ordinary things, without any magic effect at all! The material is also extremely rough, just a piece of wood with three ghostly characters engraved on it! “Is this thing expensive?!” Liu Zhuang immediately realized the problem. "It's not expensive, only two hundred coins." “Isn’t this expensive?” Liu Zhuang was dumbfounded. He was not from a wealthy family and had not lived a life of luxury since childhood. He had no concept of money. He also crawled out from a crowd of starving people and a pile of dead bodies. An average family can only earn a thousand yuan a month at most, and the poorer ones can only earn seven or eight hundred yuan. If you want to have enough food, you need at least five hundred yuan. But now all families pay two hundred yuan to buy this piece of wood that has no magical effect? Are you kidding me? ? ? "Where is that old immortal you mentioned? Take me there immediately!" Liu Zhuang said angrily. Several clerks were surprised to see that the Lord of the Mansion looked unhappy, not knowing why he was angry, but they had no choice but to do as they were told. They brought Liu Zhuang to the scene. An old man with white hair and beard, and an immortal look, was sitting upright on the altar, dressed in extremely luxurious clothes. According to others, he was ensuring that the sun would shine brightly during the autumn harvest season. People passing by kept prostrating themselves in front of him and bowing devoutly. The altar was also built in a very luxurious and majestic manner. It was made of bluestone and covered with red cloth. Ninety-nine and eighty-one little Taoist priests were standing around the old man. They were wearing clothes of white, blue, black, red and yellow according to their positions, and they were holding five-colored flags of the same colors as their own clothes, which was in line with the law of the five elements. On the side, there were some young Taoist priests selling various talismans to the people, saying that they could ward off disasters, seek refuge, and drive away epidemics... Each one was quite expensive, and each one was just an ordinary thing. One could not see these things at all with his double pupils, so they did not have any magical effects. However, a large number of people took their food and finances, which did not require them to pay taxes this year, and exchanged them for these worthless wooden boards, with happy smiles on their faces. Why are you selling indulgences and making money from the people? Liu Zhuang was very angry at this moment. If you were selling talismans that really had magical effects, I would accept it. It was just a fair transaction, but what do you mean by consumer fraud? He was about to take action when he was held down by the captain Guo Huai who came back with him. She shook her head seriously and pulled Liu Zhuang out of the scene first. "Master, don't do anything yet. This matter is not as simple as you think. How can ordinary people have the money to make such a big scene? All the Taoists are dressed appropriately, all the flags are neatly cut, and they even have the resources to build an altar and get a lot of wooden boards to carve such beautiful but useless fonts on them?" Guo Huai saw the problem at a glance. "This kind of crude trick can at most fool the common people who can't learn magic in their whole life and can't even read a few words. As a charlatan, he will have to run away after hanging around on the streets for a few days. Can he fool a spellcaster? In other words, can he fool aristocratic family? Why does he dare to do this in front of the whole city???" "You mean... these people were exposed by the Hedong family?" Liu Zhuang instantly understood what Guo Huai meant. He had been constantly suppressing the power, land, and population of the aristocratic families, and they were also fighting back with all their might. For example, they first used the matter of men and horses to attract his attention and get him to leave Anyi, playing a trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Then, while he was resting in the north and dealing with matters concerning the troops and horses, he found this old Taoist priest in Anyi to play tricks. Using this method, which was almost like an indulgence, he put the actual wealth that he had helped the people save with great difficulty and did not have to pay taxes back into his own pocket - it would be a pity to give such golden food to poor people, so I will take as much as you give. Not only that, they can also rely on this old Taoist priest to compete with me for the illusory destiny and the hearts of the people. The author says:
Author's words: 2300 monthly tickets plus more~ Chapter 151: Regaining Faith "Write a letter and transfer Yuwen Tai from Jiexiu." Liu Zhuang thought about it and suddenly came up with an idea. It would not be difficult to kill this old Taoist priest who was pretending to be a ghost. He was just a third-level Taoist priest. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties and was still a third-level Taoist priest. He didn't know how poor his talent was. He was not afraid of him at all. He could kill him by sending any military officer.
