Chapter 503: Prefect Liang

Everyone looked at Ares in surprise, clearly not expecting that a proper commander would say such a thing.

No, are you still a legitimate official commander?
Ares didn't think there was anything wrong with his thinking.

He is indeed an official commander and abides by their interplanetary laws.

However, now that we're in another dimension, he can actually be very flexible about his bottom line.

Meeting everyone's gazes, Ares thought for a moment and then explained in a low voice, "What I mean is, how about we start a business war?"

Having surfed too much lately, Bohr's first reaction was, "Huh? Yu Ji doesn't have a money tree, but Xing Yuan does..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fell into thought, seemingly considering the feasibility of such an operation.

Is it really possible?
Can pouring boiling water on a money tree put the other party in a stalemate?

It doesn't seem very reliable.

The silence of the crowd was even more deafening.

In the end, Sun Susu made a few jokes with a smile, which finally eased the awkward atmosphere and everyone started talking about other things.

After dinner, Ares still quick and efficient, cleaning up the house with Paul and the others. He then told Sheng Jiu before going back home.

Bohr thought to himself, "Your workload is not good."

They still have the leisure to chase after people every day; it seems they haven't been sending out enough work.

Unfortunately, he was a prisoner and couldn't make such a decision.

Otherwise, they would definitely give Ares a lot more work.

After dinner, everyone did some light exercise before heading to their rooms to sleep.

Sheng Jiu is choosing who to hug and sleep with tonight.

Just as I picked out a very pretty brooch, I heard a knock on the door.

[Ancient world, Liang Feng.]

The system promptly notified the other party of their information.

Sheng Jiu's first reaction after hearing this was...

what?
It's so simple, but she doesn't recognize it?
She asked the system, and the system quickly provided more specific information.

[In an ancient world, Liang Feng, the prefect of Xia City, is forty-two years old and has three sons...]

Later, even the family's wealth was revealed by the system.

Sheng Jiu was stunned after hearing this.

what?
Prefect of Xiacheng?

Can this door be opened?
Before leaving, Yuan Xinghe said that he was unsure what would happen to the officials in Xia City after he left, so he told Sheng Jiu to be cautious when opening the door.

Because he could still make money from food delivery, Sheng Jiu temporarily shut down his business in the ancient world.

Now Prefect Liang has come to our door...

After thinking it over, Sheng Jiu decided to open the door and see what was going on.

Anyway, she can have the system send someone three thousand miles away at any time.

As soon as Sheng Jiu left the room, Lin Duo noticed her. He put the folding bed away again, then got up and went to the door, waiting for Sheng Jiu's orders.

Sheng Jiu gestured for Lin Duo to open the door, and the other party obediently opened the door, where he saw a middle-aged man covered in dust and dirt.

There were quite a few people following behind the other party, but most of them had blank stares in their eyes.

Some, not entirely bewildered, were nervously looking in the direction of Prefect Liang toward Sheng Jiu.

Sheng Jiu guessed that those who were confused were probably still people who couldn't see Shengji.

Those who are glancing this way are mostly people who can see Shengji after the system upgrade and the opening of customer permissions.

Liang Feng arrived looking disheveled, and upon seeing Sheng Jiu, he knelt down with a thud.

The sound alone made her knees ache. Sheng Jiu's first reaction was to turn to the side; she couldn't bear someone kneeling down for no reason!

After kneeling down, Liang Feng kowtowed directly to Sheng Jiu: "I beg you, Fairy, to use your magic to save the people of Xia City!"

Sheng Jiu:?
what?
She had been wondering why Liang Feng and the others were in such a sorry state.
Although Xia City is remote and isolated, its economy is not very good.

However, as the prefect of a city, Liang Feng's life shouldn't be too bad.

Even if things go badly, they can still live a very comfortable life by squeezing some of the people's hard-earned money.

Now, not only is he in a sorry state, but those following behind him are in the same sorry state.

It seems that something new has happened in Xia City?
Could it be that the people Yuan Xinghe left behind are preparing to go their separate ways and fight each other?
Sheng Jiu was unsure whether it was appropriate for her to get involved in such a matter.

After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"

For Liang Feng, Sheng Jiu's silence was truly a torment.

He was afraid that Sheng Jiu would ask nothing, close the door, and ignore everything else.

Although Liang Feng also knew that this originally had nothing to do with Sheng Jiu.

However, this is the most powerful force he can currently obtain.

If Sheng Jiu is unwilling to help them, then they may have no choice but to fend for themselves.

Hearing Sheng Jiu ask, Liang Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and explained in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, the foreign invaders have attacked. Xia City's defenses are limited, and we have been holding out for half a month, but we really can't hold on any longer!"

Xia City is adjacent to Fanwai, so there must be troops stationed there.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be opening our doors to foreign lands?
However, after persisting for half a month, the urgent letter was delivered back to the capital, and the carrier pigeon message was also sent.

However, the imperial court did not respond at all.

It seems they're ignoring Xia City entirely.

Liang Feng is not entirely clear about the situation in the capital.

From the day Yuan Xinghe left Xia City, everything became uncertain.

Now that Xia City can no longer be defended, should these people leave or stay?
Liang Feng was also unsure.

If it were just him, he would definitely leave.

However, having served as the prefect of Xiacheng for many years, he couldn't say he had much affection for the local people.

However, there is still a lingering, inexplicable attachment to this land.

So he thought, why not try to force it and see?

If he can't hold out, then he should make arrangements to abandon the city and escape for his life as soon as possible!
He had already made arrangements for his entire family, having sent them away from Xia City long before the war even began.

Now that he is all alone, he is not afraid to fight those barbarians from foreign lands to the bitter end.

However, without strength and supplies, they were just going out to deliver vegetables.

Liang Feng tried various methods, seeking help from former colleagues and classmates in the capital.

Unfortunately, there was too little time, and there has been no response yet.

Now, Xia City is on the verge of falling.

With nowhere else to turn, Liang Feng had no choice but to try Shengji, a place that was both distant and daunting to him.

Sheng Jiu was stunned after hearing Liang Feng's words.

what?
What do you mean?
Should we send her to guard Xia City?
This isn't her job!

But as she listened to Liang Feng's words, each one laced with tears and blood, she stopped herself from uttering the words of refusal.

She asked the system softly, "What do you think is going on the barbarian side?"

[There is a river, though the water itself is only ordinary. However, this water is very useful to both cultivation worlds, somewhat like spiritual spring water. Whether it's for alchemy or weapon crafting, using it can make things twice as effective with half the effort, providing a strong enhancement effect.]

Sheng Jiu:? ? ?
　The second update will be at 19 PM.
