Chapter 348: Dragon God

The most beautiful woman among the women glanced at the other women and said, "That’s true. Last night, before anyone noticed the Dragon God, my daughter saw the Dragon God first."

As soon as she said this, other women gasped, and one of them said, "Doesn’t this mean that your daughter has been blessed by the Dragon God? Then her future is limitless, ah!"

The beautiful woman smiled slightly and said, "If this is really the case, then the child’s father should be able to leave with peace of mind. Before he went to war, his biggest concern was our daughter. He would be delighted to know that our daughter is blessed by the Dragon God."

Hearing what she said, all the women fell silent. All of them are widows who know the grief of losing their husbands and the hardships of raising their children alone.

After a moment of silence, another woman smiled and said, "The Dragon God has finally blessed us, and our life will only get better and better in the future. I believe that my decision to come to this Shen Gu Village was also guided by the Dragon God."

After hearing her words, the women nodded in agreement. As for Xu Xiang, she finally realized how much influence a god can have on this world. Listening to the conversations of the villagers, a plan slowly formed in her mind.

Because they walked slowly, it took thirty minutes for them to reach the conference hall. Unlike the usual quiet and deserted conference hall, there are many people standing outside the conference hall today.

Xu Xiang stood not far from the crowd, observing them carefully. Seeing the familiar clothes of these people, her eyes flickered.

Standing beside her, A Lu Ge pointed to a middle-aged man on the right side and said, "That middle-aged man is the assistant of the county magistrate of Long Sha County, and he said that our village is under their jurisdiction."

He then pointed to a young man wearing armor on the left side and said, "The person is one of the deputy generals under the command of Rui Wang from the Bei Wei Empire. As for those people, they are merchants who came here to do business with us."

After listening to A Lu Ge’s brief introduction, Xu Xiang’s gaze rested on a group of people. Once here, she realizes that this group of people is different from others. In addition to the strong smell of blood on their bodies, she also felt a very familiar aura from them.

She thought for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "A Lu Ge, keep an eye on those people."

Following her gaze, A Lu Ge saw a group of men in merchant clothes looking around vigilantly. Turning to look at Xu Xiang, he asked, "What’s wrong with those people?"

Xu Xiang frowned slightly, and said, "I can smell the blood on them. Also..."

Seeing that she didn’t finish speaking, A Lu Ge asked curiously: "Also what?"

She thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Nothing."

After saying that, she looked at A Lu Ge and said, "I will go in first."

A Lu Ge nodded, and whispered: "If there is anything interesting, please tell me later. As for those people, leave it to me."

Looking at his curious expression, Xu Xiang chuckled and said, "All right."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards the conference hall under the gaze of countless eyes. When Xu Xiang opened the door, the intense conversation inside came to an abrupt end. Seeing that it was her who came, A Lu Zhi smiled at her. He got up from his seat and walked over to her.

A Lu Zhi stood in front of her, lowered his voice and said, "You are finally here. If you come later, I’m afraid I will lose my patience and kill these people."

It’s rare for A Lu Zhi to lose his patience, so Xu Xiang asked curiously: "What happened? A Lu Ge came to me and said that many people came here to fight for the rights to govern this village."

A Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Because of the expansion of the village in the past few months, the location of our current village is no longer the same as the original location. The original location of Shen Gu Village was indeed in the Shang Empire."

He frowned slightly and added: "But after the expansion, the location of the village is no longer just in the territory of the Shang Empire, but in the middle of the border with the Qin Kingdom too. As for the Bei Wei Empire, they claim that Lin Zi City is theirs, so our village should belong to the Bei Wei Empire."

After hearing what A Lu Zhi said, Xu Xiang was amused by the shamelessness of the Bei Wei Empire. They declared war on another empire, brazenly conquered other empire’s lands, and then came out and said those cities were theirs while the war was still going on.

Even in the apocalypse era, Xu Xiang has never encountered a more shameless person than these people from the Bei Wei Empire.

A Lu Zhi looked at the three people who were still glaring at each other, and said, "Those people are from the Shang Empire, the Bei Wei Empire, and the Qin Kingdom. They all claim that our village is located on their territory and is under the jurisdiction of their government."

Xu Xiang stroked her chin and looked at those people thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, she chuckled and said, "There is no need to bother with them. Their only motive is taxes."

A Lu Zhi nodded and said, "That general of the Bei Wei Empire said that if we don’t pay taxes, they will send troops over."

After hearing what he said, Xu Xiang’s eyes flickered as she asked, "They dare to blatantly threaten you?"

A Lu Zhi shrugged and said, "That’s why I said I’m running out of patience."
