After Lu Lianxiao came out of Yuanshi Entertainment, he did not take a bus, but walked like this, paying attention to the changes in Tianhai City, while walking towards the Tiandao Sword Sect.

During this period, he was busy with the Tiandao Sword Sect and the Qingzhou Shenwu Alliance. He almost didn't feel the changes in the war in the past six months of the Great Shang Kingdom as an ordinary person. This time...

He deliberately slowed down and listened to the voices of ordinary people.

But in just a moment, he had noticed something.

In a small alley, a group of people were making trouble in front of a shop. From their words, we can see...

TOLL.

Protection fee.

Of course, they naturally wouldn't call it that way.

These people seem to have started a property company, including the streets in their jurisdiction, and claimed to be collecting property fees.

But they neither care about the order of this street nor are they responsible for the hygiene of this street, and they simply collect money.

If you don't give money, you will cause trouble.

At this moment, the group of people asked him to compensate him for a hundred times the loss on the grounds that he had bought fake goods in this shop.

When Lu Lianxiao turned the corner, he saw a man lifting the shop owner with one hand, his expression full of ferocity.

The boss looked strong and strong, not only 1.9 meters tall, but weighed an estimated 100 kilograms, but the man lifted it with one hand without any effort.

Obviously, this man is very likely to be a body-refining warrior, and most of them are perfect in the body-refining process.

Stores are often opened in places with relatively large traffic, and this shop is no exception.

There were many pedestrians coming and going, but most of them looked at it, lowered their heads and left in a hurry.

One of the young men seemed to want to call the police, but one of them stopped him: "It's useless. I heard that some problems have occurred in the local authorities in recent times. Maybe they are worried that the war will sweep into Tianhai City. Everyone is unwilling to work and live a life of being able to live alone, waiting to see the direction of the war. Even if the Guards Department basically don't send much police now... Especially since this group of people involves martial arts forces, without the assistance of the Martial Arts Association, the people in the Guards Department dare not meddle in other people's business."

When the young man heard this, he seemed a little angry: "The local authorities are all a group of people who are in corpses and are not good at doing anything. They are fined first. Do they care about anything? "

"Who cares about it above? I heard that the useful words in Tianhai City are no longer the cabinet government, but a martial arts force called Tiandao Sword Sect. But that martial arts force only knows how to fight for power and power, so how can we govern the city?"

The person beside him sighed: "Originally, although the local authorities in Tianhai City were corrupt and had to give gifts to find connections if they wanted to accomplish something, they would more or less pull a fig leaf. Now... they don't even need fig leaf..."

The two of them communicated and gradually moved away.

Lu Lianxiao didn't say anything and continued to move forward.

Soon, he found that some shops were wearing flags.

The flag is the emblem of the Shenwu Alliance.

Only shops with this emblem can be held safely.

At the same time, he also found that some shops would hang some martial arts clothes in conspicuous places as much as possible, indicating that someone in his home practices martial arts in the martial arts hall, as if this could shock those who despise the little ones.

He paid a little attention to several nearby martial arts halls. Each of them had a hot business. Even though they increased the price of the course several times or even ten times, there were still a steady stream of martial arts learners.

On the contrary, other industries are in a state of depression.

Pedestrians were in a hurry on the street and they were in no mood to stroll on the street.

Without strolling, it will naturally not bring consumption. The economy and order of the entire Tianhai City are gradually deteriorating.

"The number of beggars has also increased significantly."

Lu Lianxiao talked to himself.

When he passed by a bridge, the bridge was almost filled with beggars or refugees.

In an abandoned unfinished building, he saw an area similar to a refugee slum.

Young men and women in their thirties and forties stood outside the area, eagerly waiting to be hired and earn some money to support their families.

In the garbage area not far away, there are a large number of elderly people in their fifties and sixties, or even sixties and seventies, with their grandchildren who are only three or five years old and naked, circling things to eat in the garbage dump.

Since there is no clothes to wear, these children are all dark and even reflect in the sun. Because of their malnutrition, they can clearly see the ribs on their bodies.

Although these refugee groups are not large now,...

It is foreseeable that as time goes by, their population will expand rapidly.

Especially...

This is Tianhai City!

From Tianhai City to Xingzhou and Bainiaozhou, there is a Dongzhou and Yuzhou, five or six hundred kilometers away!

If Tianhai City is like this, what will Dongzhou, Yuzhou and Yunzhou look like?

What kind of scene is Shiragouzhou and Xingzhou, which are in the midst of war!?

Lu Lianxiao moved forward step by step, feeling the depression and changes in Tianhai City compared to the past few years ago. At this moment, his actions towards the Shenwu Alliance were slightly shaken.

But in just a moment, he had already started to laugh at himself: "If it weren't for the existence of the Shenwu Alliance, Shang Town, the Da Shang royal family would have opened a favor to our Tiandao Sword Sect and Hunyuan Sect? I'm afraid that the rest of the Tiandao Sword Sect have been completely buried in the earth several thousand meters deep with the mine cave of the Netherworld Gate. The best result is to be displaced and flee abroad..."

So, Lu Lianxiao, what qualifications do he have to accuse the Shenwu Alliance of actions and to pity the misery of others!?

If you really want to say something wrong...

The only one who is wrong is Da Shang!

If the big Shang wolf had not been ambitious to invade the Hunyuan Sect, how could he have ended like this today!?

"There is no right or wrong, only a position."

Lu Lianxiao stood on the overpass, watching the countless people coming and going below, and muttering to himself.

but……

If you are not in your position, you will not do your own affairs.

Now that he has reached this position now...

More or less, something should be done.

At this time, Lu Lianxiao seemed to sense something, and suddenly his face changed.

Immediately afterwards, he half-squatted, as if he was about to burst out with all his strength and leave the place.

But at this time, his figure paused slightly, stopped, and stood there.

Soon, under the overpass, a black sedan ignored the sign of "no parking" and parked on the road. Then, a man in a suit and ties looked quite like a white-collar elite walked out of the car.

After getting off the car, his eyes immediately fell on Lu Lianxiao.

Similarly, Lu Lianxiao was also watching him.

This man...

Although Lu Lianxiao only met once, he was very impressed.

Gu Changtian.

He just felt that a body that was so powerful that it was not as close as the life body that could possess in the blood exchange, condense the gyrus, and the divine realm. He immediately thought of the virtual realm that had blocked his own special method, so he wanted to leave and return to the Tiandao Sword Sect.

However, when he noticed the aura that made him a little familiar with this life body, he stopped.

Gu Changtian.

A powerful Void Realm who gave good intentions seven years ago.

If he wanted to kill him, he would have been able to easily start seven years ago.

After getting off the car, Gu Changtian walked up the steps, stepped onto the overpass, and came to Lu Lianxiao.

He did not speak immediately, but followed Lu Lianxiao's gaze and looked at the three beggars on the overpass.

After a while, he spoke: "Tianhai City is nothing, Xingzhou and Shiragou Prefecture, there are more people like this, especially Asuki City."

Lu Lianxiao knew about this city.

The capital of Shirago Prefecture.

"As the first round of war between Da Shang and Taixuan broke out near Asuka City, Taixuan carried out a carpet bombing on the city, and the city's construction area was destroyed by more than 40%. This city, which originally had 17 million people... has now become a ruin."

Gu Changtian said, seeing Lu Lianxiao seemingly listening, and continued: "In fact, this is pretty good. The country of Steel Asia, the Kingdom of Sophillon, the Republic of Carmen, the Federal State of Ilia... The consequences of wars in these countries are even more serious. Tens of millions of people are displaced in each country. In all the turbulent countries around the world, more than 300 million people are in danger. Every day, more than one million people die, of which nearly one fifth die in the war."

"One day, two hundred thousand?"

This number is much more than Lu Lianxiao expected.

"Because there are no recorded populations in backward countries, there are many monarchies and centralized countries that allow servants to exist. These people will not be included in the world's population at all, and no one will ask about their life and death."

Gu Changtian said, continuing: "In less than half a year since the war between the Great Shang Kingdom and the Taixuan Empire started, the number of civilians in the Great Shang Kingdom has died in more than 623,500, and the number of soldiers has died, more than 100,66600."

"Total 730,000!?"

"Yes, this is the number counted by my subordinates. The real number is definitely higher than this number. Moreover, with the complete war between Da Shang and Tai Xuan Kingdom, this number will be geometrically improved."

Gu Changtian said, looking at Lu Lianxiao: "Do you feel very complicated and want to do something, but considering your position, you don't know where to start?"

Lu Lianxiao did not answer, but his expression obviously agreed with Gu Changtian's statement.

"Then, according to your position, even if everything develops as you imagined, the Shenwu Alliance, or the Tiandao Sword Sect quickly grew stronger while the Da Shang Kingdom and Taixuan Empire were both defeated, and controlled Tianhai City, Yuezhou, Qingzhou, Chizhou, Jizhou, Dongzhou, Yunzhou, Yuzhou, and even Bainiaozhou, Xingzhou and other nineteen states in the country, destroyed the Da Shang royal family and drove the Taixuan Empire, which was severely damaged, out of the Da Shang Kingdom..."

When Gu Changtian said this, he paused slightly: "What about?"
To be continued...
