Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

She had been living a little too comfortably recently.    

When he touched the flesh on his waist, it seemed to have increased a little.    

For a moment, she started to frown.    

After so many years, it seemed like this was the first time he had fat on his body.    

Seeing her desolate expression, Xiao Yun naturally ran over to ask.    

Fairy Yuluo could not speak, nor did she dare to write now. She could only pinch her stomach and sigh.    

Xiao Yun also stretched out his hand and pinched her stomach.    

Then he asked with an innocent and serious face, "What's wrong?"    

Fairy Yuluo's face immediately turned red.    

Although the two of them could be considered to have met honestly previously, hugging and hugging could also be considered as intimate contact.    

But after all, many days had passed, and that habit of hers had long disappeared.    

Now, Xiao Yun's ambiguous actions naturally made Fairy Yuluo feel very awkward.    

But there was nothing she could do.    

Fairy Yuluo took a step back to ask for the second best. She could only use her expression to express her worry for Fatty.    

Xiao Yun, on the other hand, smiled.    

He said, "It's actually good to have a bit of meat. It's not good to be too thin or too fat. It's not good to be too thin or too fat. It's best to be in the middle. This is the path of mediocrity. It's the capital for everyone to live in peace."    

As he spoke, he also showed his muscles and bones.    

In the end, the current Xiao Yun was really thin.    

Sahu was not talented at the moment, so he could not be used. The number of people Xiao Yun needed to serve increased from two to three. Although there was one more person to eat, it was actually more tiring.    

In addition, whenever Xiao Yun had time recently, he would run to the side to practice his original energy. One after another, it would consume more of his body, so he really did not have any fat on him at the moment.    

He looked like a great craftsman.    

Xiao Yun pinched the thin layer of skin on his belly. It was very elastic, and he couldn't pull it up no matter how hard he tried.    

He could only smile helplessly and then said, "I am a little too thin now. Actually, my body is not healthy."    

Fairy Yuluo did not care about health or health.    

In her eyes, Xiao Yun's actions were more like showing off.    

She couldn't help but have evil thoughts in her heart. She actually prepared to not eat dinner.    

In the end, Xiao Yun made a cassava cake with meat...    

Smelling the fragrance, Fairy Yuluo could only use the excuse of convincing herself over and over again.    

Anyway, it was not that bad!    

...    

There were no more twists and turns along the way.    

Tuoba Tian'er was very familiar with the way and coupled with the fact that she deliberately avoided some towns, the group of them walked very calmly.    

Between cities, it was not a city.    

There was also no excellent road like the one in her previous life.    

There was only a barren land.    

There were even few farmlands.    

Xiao Yun couldn't help but think of his past life.    

Travelling between cities and cities, he would always see scattered trees and endless farmland.    

It wasn't easy for it to not be a place for farmland, but a mountain.    

And halfway up the mountain, they could still see traces of human civilization, as well as some economic crops.    

In the past life, people had already used all the things they could use.    

Any resources that could be seen with the naked eye were rarely wasted.    

Passing by a pond, there was no need to ask, it was definitely a fish pond. If it was natural, it would also become a rare tourist area.    

And in this world, desolation was truly desolation.    

On the narrow path, there was no one in a thousand miles.    

It was as if they were walking on a vast ocean.    

He would even doubt if he had walked in the wrong direction.    

Xiao Yun would often have the illusion that he would reach the end of the world if he continued walking like this.    

However, according to the legends, they had not reached the end of the world. They had walked to a big city.    

A big city built by mountains.    

From afar, one could see countless buildings piled up on the mountainside. There was also a man-made river flowing down from the mountainside, extending all the way to the foot of the mountain, and then to the city walls.    

The towering city walls were dozens of meters away from a dense forest.    

It was as if the city wall was the absolute barrier between the civilization of mankind and nature.    

Two questions immediately popped up in Xiao Yun's mind.    

He also asked directly.    

"Weren't we supposed to hide in the city? Why are we here now? Also, what is this place? Why is there such a tall city wall? This is obviously inland. What is this city wall guarding against?"    

Tuoba Tian'er sighed and did not know which question to answer first.    

"The city walls were built a long time ago. Actually, you should be able to tell that this is an ancient city. According to legends, this was once a country, so it's not very normal for there to be city walls? This city is only built by relying on the old location of that country. "    

" Oh... So that's how it is. No wonder this city wall gives me a very new and very old feeling. It turns out that there was a city wall in the past, and then it was repaired... But why didn't it be dismantled? Instead, it needs to be repaired? Repairing this kind of city wall would probably require a lot of money."    

Tuoba Tian'er was stunned for a moment.    

She blinked her eyes.    

She also turned to look at the city wall and muttered softly, "There is a rumor saying that the purpose of the city wall here is not to defend against external enemies. It is to guard against the beast tide. The Royal Court does not believe it. They have never transferred any money to this place, but I never thought that they would actually continue to repair it. They thought that it was a trick by the local officials to cheat money... Sigh, the saying of ghosts and gods kills people."    

Xiao Yun blinked his eyes, looked around, then smiled and said," Actually, it's not impossible. Beast tides, this kind of thing, originally had nothing to do with ghosts and gods. This area is surrounded by forests, so naturally there will be a lot of wild beasts inside. It's not impossible for some of them to come out and hurt people. "    

"Maybe."    

Tuoba Tian'er said indifferently.    

After all, she felt that this kind of thing could only be done by foolish people.    

She coldly snorted and answered the next question.    

"This place is called Si Water City. Legend has it that there were four rivers that passed by here. It was located in the place where the rivers converged, so its military value is extremely high. People say that this is the last line of defense before Royal Court."    

"Rumors?"    

"It was a rumor. Yeah, it's just a rumor. If there is an enemy invasion, then... The southern part of Royal Court was an open plain, and the western side was the largest public road in the northern Wei. There is still an ancient road to the north that we can walk on, no matter what. The last line of defense was not the place to be called. Any invader could easily bypass this place. Therefore, the city walls here are just decorations. "    

Xiao Yun couldn't help but laugh.    

"It seems like you have some complaints about this place."    

"That's right. After all, this is one of the biggest holes in the North Wei. The amount of money spent here every year is countless. In our point of view, that money is just a waste."    

"Since it's useless, why did you still throw money here?"    

Tuoba Tian'er sighed and said, "It is because of the legends that I mentioned earlier. It is something that all of the officials and officials do. No one in the entire Literary Sect believed it, but the previous king firmly believed it. After setting a dead rule, not only would they not collect taxes from this place, but they would also not accept any taxes from this place. Instead, they send a large amount of money and resources every year."    

"Er..."    

Xiao Yun did not know what to say.    

There were very few foolish kings, but it was not that there were none. Xiao Yun had even seen quite a few of them.    

"Then why did we come here?"    

Xiao Yun was afraid that Tuoba Tian'er would forget about his question, so he asked again.    

Tuoba Tian'er said, "Because of the special nature of this place, it has also become a place where the major families gather their forces. After all, there is no tax here. The money of the big families only need to be rotated a little. If you are able to do something here, you will be able to avoid a lot of taxes. "    

"So... your Tuoba family also has properties here?"    

Tuoba Tian'er let out a long sigh and said with a bitter smile, "To be precise, half of this city belongs to our Tuoba family. It is also because of this that I am qualified to become saintess. The Tuoba family is the reason why the Imperial Family fears my father. That is why I have to put my life on the line to make a name for myself and maintain a balance. "
