Zhang Luochen thought to himself, I can do this, but suddenly I felt something was wrong. This small mountain village only has a few hundred people, three or five people a month, and forty or fifty people a year. How can such a small village be enough for food?

But it seemed that the mood was in place, and I didn't hide it, and I said it all out.

"Do you think there are only us under the rule of Shanjun? In recent years, there have been thousands of people who have been forced to survive by the dog prince. There are more than a hundred miles around Motuo Mountain. There are dozens of villages like ours. These villages are all protected by Shanjun. This monthly tribute is shared by each village. Each village only has two or three tributes a year. At that time, under the rule of Xijiang King, they had to pay rent and tax. If the tax was not paid enough, more than this number would be captured and tortured and beheaded every year. It is still a waste of money now."

"We are not trying to harm human life, but it's better for others than for our own death." Li Zheng sighed and continued, "This tiger demon had agreed with us that he would ensure that we live safely here, but we would sacrifice three or five people to him every month, and we would not care about the old, weak and fat. Compared to the countless miscellaneous taxes outside, this is a good deal."

"So a dozen villages made an agreement that every household would draw lots every month, and those who were drawn would sacrifice one person. Of course, the people who sacrificed were mainly the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. Occasionally, we would catch passers-by or single soldiers. Those soldiers helped the government to harm people, and killing a few of them was nothing."

"Last time I paid tribute, I sent the man from the Guo family. Who told him to draw lots? Now it's time to pay tribute again. Please understand, all heroes. Anyway, only one person is needed. If you don't want to die here, how about handing over one person to us? Let's let you leave the others."

Zhang Luochen was speechless when he heard this, thinking that you thought it was pretty beautiful.

"So you have always been catching passers-by as tribute?"

There was shaking his head: "There are so many passers-by in the deep mountains and forests? It would be fine if you are lucky, but if you are not lucky, you can only draw lots? Everyone over 18 years old has to draw lots? No one can escape, the boy of the Guo family? You don't have to be angry? This is our life. It's better to die one person than to die a villager? My mother, who is over 70 years old, was drawn as a tribute. I used to think the world is unfair like you? I want to find someone to fight for my life? My mother said to me that my bloodline has been here to this day, and I am the only seedling, and I can't break my bloodline? After she said that, she took the initiative to go to the mountains.

You are the only one left in your family now? Don’t sacrifice your life.”

Guo Tie was confused for a moment and didn't know what he was thinking, but Qin Zi'ang was so angry.

"You are simply inferior to a beast, you are even an old mother..."

But the more I talked, I became more and more confident. I seemed to feel that everything I did was justified? I said loudly, "What's the way? This is true in the world. Even if I am a beast, I have to live.

Li Zheng was rumored? The villagers outside the courtyard were also angry. They were witnesses of this series of events? Abandon their homes? Hiding in the mountains? They had to do many things against their will. Their concepts had long been distorted. The thick-browed man who had spoken before shouted to Li Zheng: "Don't talk nonsense to them. Let's catch them together. These four or five people are enough for our tribute for a year."

As he spoke, he pushed open the gate first and rushed in with everyone behind him.

"Who dares!" Yang Bai took a step forward, pulled out the Nether Iron Soul Killing Spear from the treasure bag, and blocked it across from Zhang Luochen and the villagers.

This Nether Iron Soul Killing Sphur is not an ordinary thing. As long as you get close, you can feel the cold air. In addition, Yang Bai was wearing a barbarian warrior suit and looked extremely powerful, which made the villagers dare not come forward.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Luochen with a look of inquiries in his eyes. The meaning was very obvious. If these villagers were not killed, they would not be killed.

Zhang Luochen sighed. At this moment, he had already had some conspiracy in his heart. He thought that in order to win his trust, the King of Xijiang deliberately put the shit on the tiger demon's head. This matter was not a matter of eliminating harm to the people at the beginning. It was probably more and more people who fled here. The King of Xijiang wanted to use his own hand to remove the tiger demon so that he could capture these ordinary people back and exploit them again.

I originally thought that King Xijiang was not a good person, but I didn’t expect that he had no bottom line.

He had already made up his mind at this time. When he killed the tiger demon, he turned around and fucked the King of Xijiang together.

However, Zhang Luochen was a little embarrassed about how these villagers should deal with it. In this chaotic world, the people who provoked disputes were popular and had a good time, and the most suffering was the common people. They could not decide their own lives and could only let the officials have fish and meat. As victims, they were pitiful, but what they did after turning into perpetrators was also hateful.

But after all, I was forced to fall to this point step by step by step. Do I really want to kill them all?

Before he could figure out what was going on, the villagers over there could no longer help. They didn't know who shot the first arrow, and several hunters shot their own bows and arrows one after another.

As if he had received a signal, the villagers shouted and rushed up angrily.

OK, there is no need to worry about this matter. Zhang Luochen thought in his mind, raised his hand and fired the Five Thunder Curse - Gengjin Thunder!

The golden lightning was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through four or five villagers, blowing them out, and blood and flesh were sprinkled in the air.

Five Thunder Curse - Thunder of Wu Earth!

Boom, another thunder sound, and the thick man waving a machete was blown up to pieces. The remaining villagers had seen such a formation and fled in panic. Zhang Luochen was not in the mood to chase after him. With a wave of his hand, Yang Baichuan and Xue Hongling rushed over, blocking the way of the villagers. These villagers had been so scared that they had no intention of resisting at all.

Zhang Luochen asked Yang Baichuan to catch the place again.

At this moment, Li's face was dull and looked at Zhang Luochen barely. It was not until Zhang Luochen patted his shoulder that he shivered suddenly and fell to the ground.

"Good luck to the Immortal Master, Good luck to the Immortal Master!"

Looking at Li Zheng who was justified and now looked humble, Zhang Luochen was not proud of anything, but felt inexplicably sad.

"Li Zheng, I'll ask you, you are here to hide from the world, but the tiger demon wants to eat people, so you will harm human life and sacrifice to the tiger demon, right?"

"Yes, yes, we're really helpless."

"How many lives have you killed here?"

"It's just three or five people. This Motuoshan has a tiger demon. King Xijiang is a famous tyrannical person. There are not many passers-by who will walk here. Most of the time it's the people in our village who decide to draw lots."

Zhang Luochen nodded, "I killed you a few of you just now. Even if I paid my life for those people, I have no interest in these destructive things here. This time I have also been entrusted by the King of Xijiang to subdue demons and demons. If you said kindly and explained the matter clearly, I would not do anything. I would not say that I could eliminate harm for the people, and it would be easy to get rid of the King of Xijiang.

But you offended me. First, they drugged me and then attacked me. Now if you want to survive, you must cooperate with me honestly. If you commit crimes and make meritorious service, I will spare your life. If you play tricks with me, you will slaughter your village. You will also be blamed. Do you understand?"

There was nodding in a hurry to agree, "Thank you for not killing the immortal master. We must cooperate. If you have any questions, please give me instructions."

"Where is the tiger demon living, where do you usually send tribute to you when you send me tribute? Take me there. This is what you want to do."

"Ah?" Li looked up in surprise and looked at Zhang Luochen with a confused look on his face. After a long time, he suddenly realized and suddenly kowtowed to Zhang Luochen and said, "Immortal Master, you can kill me, but you can't kill Lord Shanjun. Lord Shanjun protects this people. If it dies, the people in this village will not live long."

The villagers also knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhang Luochen sighed, knowing that these people were also scared by the harsh rule of the King of Xijiang. He helped Li Zheng up with both hands and said, "Li Zheng, this is not a long-term solution to the tiger. Don't worry, when I send the tiger demon in this mountain, I will go and kill the King of Xijiang. You will be under the rule of the King of Nanchen at that time, so you will naturally not have to worry about the disaster of harsh taxes."

"Ah?" There seemed to be scared by what Zhang Luochen said. Although they dared to capture a few lonely soldiers to kill, killing the King of Xijiang was a fantasy for them. If Zhang Luochen had not been a figure like a god in their hearts, he would never believe it.

But after thinking about it, if Zhang Luo Chen really had the ability to kill Shanjun, wouldn’t it be a simple matter to take the head of King Xijiang? On the other hand, if the national teacher had no ability and was killed by Shanjun, they would just live as usual.

No matter how it develops, the result is indeed beneficial to them. If you think about the cause and effect, you will be illuminated.

But he has been under the protection of Shanjun for so long, but for a while he has been unable to make a turn.

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly jumped out, "The immortal master is right. How many villagers and elders have eaten the tiger demon? He should have died long ago. In the past, we had no ability, so we could only live in this and let the fish and meat. Now that the immortal master is the decision for us, we are still afraid of what the beast will do. Immortal Master, I am willing to lead the way for you."

After hearing this, the villagers looked at each other for a moment, as if they felt something was wrong, but some people shouted and immediately another person stood up.
