Chapter 1432

The so-called night world, since it has been named night, Tang Lichuan wants to come to a gloomy and strange place where there is no sun all year round.

But what he saw in front of him was not the case. The sun was shining and the sun was shining. The surrounding environment was full of birds and flowers. It could not be associated with the boundless darkness.

Looking around, there is a boundless farmland. What is planted in the field is not ordinary crops. Although it is not high-end, everything in each field is good food for martial practitioners.

"Pearl rice, snow frost fruit and three leaf purple potato... Are all common varieties. Although they are of low grade, they can also strengthen their health after long-term consumption. This place is really a night world?"

Looking back at the thousands of people who kept coming out of the black portal, Tang Lichuan was very sure that he had not sent it to a strange place. Was it the place where the strange man with his head asked him to come that looked like the countryside?

"Coming! The new master is coming!"

"Little old man, Li Qingshui, meet the master!"

At this time, a respectful kowtow attracted Tang Lichuan's eyes. He found that dozens of people were kneeling by the dense rice field.

These people wear very simple clothes, and the color of their clothes is the same as that of rice fields. If they don't pay attention, it's easy to ignore their existence.

It was not the color of their clothes that made Tang Lichuan ignore them, but the fact that these guys didn't have any real power. They were all ordinary people who couldn't cultivate martial arts.

"The collector? But say me?"

Tang Lichuan frowned. He was really puzzled about this title. He just died at night. How did he suddenly become the "collector" of a group of ordinary people.

"Yes, absolutely! Adults hold the keepsake of the collector. Of course, it's the new collector. No doubt! See you!"

Lao Tzu, named Li Qingshui, carefully looked at the black token of the portal behind Tang Lichuan, and worshipped again without doubt.

"Slow down, old man, get up first. I'm not familiar with the situation here. Can you tell me what this place is and what the collector is?"

His identity should be true, but Tang Lichuan was confused because he didn't know the situation of the night world. Naturally, the top priority was to collect intelligence and find out the current situation.

With permission, the old man got up trembling. He didn't even dare to pat the soil on his body. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Tang Lichuan's face. He replied respectfully and nervously: "Sir, this is a fief under the command of marquis Boyuan of the northern state of Luo. It's called 'qianjiaji'. There are thousands of families in the collection, a total of 3677 people. The little old man is the assistant of the collection master..."

After hearing the name of Luobei Kingdom, Tang Lichuan knew he had not come to the wrong place, but he continued to listen to the old man explain that the so-called collector is not the village head, which makes him think he is a great official.

Knowing a little about his identity, Tang Lichuan nodded and asked, "the old man seems to have mentioned the word 'Boyuan Marquis' just now. Is it possible that there are aristocratic status here, just like the secular world?"

"Exactly!"

Li Qing nodded respectfully and explained: "in addition to the monarch 'solitary shadow', there are three princes and five marquis in the most noble position in Luobei country. There are ten houses under the marquis. Although our thousand families are under the command of marquis Boyuan, the possible contact level is only Sanhe house."

"It's hard to imagine that there is such an orderly country in such a chaotic place as Xiaomi wasteland."

Tang Lichuan thought that Xiaomi wasteland was just a place of chaos and deforestation. After listening to Li Qingshui's introduction, he realized that there was a long established order system here.

"By the way, sir, our assigned task is to plant these martial grain. 80% of the harvest should be turned over to the government treasury, and the remaining 20% is left for our own consumption."

Before Tang Lichuan asked questions, the old man took the initiative to explain. Only when he introduced it, Tang Lichuan himself observed the surrounding environment. Taking 80% of the harvest from the government treasury is indeed a serious tax, but looking at the harvest of lush grain growth here, even if only the remaining 20% is enough for 3000 people to be self-sufficient.

But these people, led by Li Qingshui, looked like they didn't have enough to eat. They were almost yellow and thin, and looked a little pathetic.

It seems that Tang Lichuan did not feel his strange eyes. Li Qingshui still said it himself, but sighed helplessly: "The remaining 20% of the grain is not entirely at our disposal. There are other villages around our qianjiaji. According to the regulations, the villages can rob each other of each other's resources. Therefore, our Jizi is often bullied by other big villages, and the surplus grain is robbed to the extent that we can barely survive."

"Strange thing, since you can rob, why don't you rob them all and kindly leave the surplus food for cooking porridge?"

It's not uncommon in the martial arts and Taoism circles to take things by chance. Tang Lichuan is not surprised at this situation. On the contrary, those robbers pay attention to theft and justice, and leave a living ration for the robbed party?

"Alas, my lord doesn't know. This is also the rule of Luobei country. Even if it is a robbery struggle, you can't kill people. You should also leave life-saving rations for the robbed village. Once I heard an adult say that the purpose of allowing armed struggle is not to bully anyone, but to cultivate powerful martial arts experts in this cruel competition."

Speaking of this, Li Qingshui's face is a little bitter. The world of martial arts is not the world they ordinary people set foot in, but they have no choice but to be in the night world. Ordinary people who can't cultivate martial arts also involuntarily participate in the fight of martial arts.

The victory or defeat of the martial arts requires them to be hungry. Although they are helpless, they have no power to change all this.

"So, before I came here, you should also have a collector. Since you can't kill, where is the last collector now?"

Tang Lichuan doesn't make any comments on the special "Customs" of the night world. Every place has its own way of life. Tang Lichuan doesn't give meaningless advice. He is only curious about the information related to him.

"Report back to your excellency. If the collector is defeated three times in a row, he will be driven out of the night world and exiled to the upper world to live and die."

Li Qingshui sighed and explained, which reminded Tang Lichuan why there were so many people in the shelter, probably those who were defeated and exiled.

"Although it's impolite, please help us. Qianjiaji is a small collection, which is often bullied and robbed by outsiders. The days of lack of food and clothing have lasted for decades. Newborn babies die every year. Recently, more than 50 children in the collection have been ill, but we and we have no herbal treatment. Seeing those children, we have to... Ask adults to show mercy and help them Let's go! "

No wonder these people came here early to wait. It turned out that they had something to ask for.

In the eyes of martial artists, even the low-level martial artists in Kailing and Yuan martial arts don't treat ordinary people as people. They don't look at ordinary people at all, let alone work hard for them.

I'm afraid Li Qingshui and his family have long been used to the martial artist's high posture. When they say their request, their bodies tremble for fear of angering the martial artist.

"Li Qingshui, I heard that you have a new collector today? My master asked me to say hello. Your monthly tribute is still the same. Who is the new collector? Come out and make a noise!"

Before Tang Lichuan replied, a disgusting voice came from afar.

The crowd followed the prestige and saw the man. Li Qingshui immediately looked gray and whispered in despair, "it's over. He should come or can't escape... Sir, he is the second in command of Sangyu village next door. His Master heard that he is a great master of tianwu realm. They drove the former collector away."
