Lin Jiang followed Mo Zhai back to their Shihao Village. As soon as he entered the village, Lin Jiang heard the sound of crying all over the village. It was really the kind of crying that the whole village was crying.

The mournful and helpless crying moved Lin Jiang a little. Even his heart of stone, which had been forged by the world-destroying natural disaster, was somewhat melted.

Lin Jiang soon knew why they were crying. Some cried because the able-bodied men in their families were forcibly conscripted. Their lives were uncertain and their future was bleak. Some cried because the able-bodied men in their families had been conscripted before, and then the news of their deaths in the war came back. Now only the elderly, weak, women and children were left in the entire Shihao Village.

Mo Zhai brought Lin Jiang back to his home and saw his mother and young sister crying bitterly. They saw Mo Zhai's father and others being forcibly conscripted yesterday.

"Mom, mom, I'm back"

"Zhai'er, this is..."

"Mom, this is the eldest brother we met in the mountains, he invited us to eat meat, and the eldest brother had nowhere to go, so I brought him back to our home"

"So it's the distinguished guest, Zhai'er, mother will go to cook to entertain the distinguished guest."

Mo Zhai's mother saw that Lin Jiang was extraordinary and thought it was a distinguished guest, so she hurried to cook. But when she came to the kitchen, she saw that there was only a handful of millet left in the rice jar, and it was difficult to even make porridge.

"Aunt, don't bother too much, we have already eaten when we came back, but it is very rude of me to come here empty-handed. Aunt, wait a moment, let me go to the mountains and bring you a gift."

Lin Jiang knew the embarrassment of Mo Zhai's family. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Mo Zhai couldn't stop him.

After leaving the village, Lin Jiang used his Qinggong to enter the mountain again. After searching for half an hour, Lin Jiang found a musk deer and easily captured it. However, the musk deer was not big. Lin Jiang thought about it and bled the musk deer directly. He deliberately put it under the sun to let the blood be exposed to the sun. After a while, the fishy smell attracted many wild animals

. When Lin Jiang returned, he held a bled musk deer in his left hand, a wild boar on his shoulder, and foxes, weasels and other wild animals hanging around his waist. It was a big harvest. When

Lin Jiang entered the village dressed like this, Mo Zhai and others were stunned. The wild boar on Lin Jiang's shoulder must have weighed about 100 to 200 kilograms.

"Auntie, this is my gift to Shihao Village. Let's share the meat.

" "Ah"

"Mo Zhai, go call people,"

Lin Jiang said. Mo Zhai was not shy and immediately called the onlookers outside to start sharing the meat, including the two teenagers.

Lin Jiang hid outside the crowd and watched the people of Shihao Village divide the meat. There were dozens of families. Except for some old men who looked too old to walk, Mo Zhai and the other three were the oldest men. The rest were all women and children.

When the smell of meat filled Shihao Village, something bad happened. A team of dozens of soldiers surrounded Shihao Village.

"What a delicious meat!"

A lieutenant walked to Mo Zhai's house and saw the meat in the pot. He was overjoyed. It was a double happiness. He could catch a few strong men and have a good meal of meat.

He was not polite and reached out to grab the meat in the pot. But at this moment, a chopstick flew over and pierced the lieutenant's palm, making him scream out in pain.

The lieutenant's scream attracted the rest of the soldiers, who soon gathered at the door of Mo Zhai's house. Lin Jiang also appeared at this time and forced the lieutenant out of Mo Zhai's house step by step.

"Who are you? How dare you hurt this lieutenant?"

"I haven't fought for a long time. I'll use you as a sandbag today. Come on,"

Lin Jiang casually took a piece of firewood from Mo Zhai's house and said to the lieutenant.

"Kill him for me,"

the lieutenant roared. The two soldiers with bows behind him fired arrows first. Lin Jiang casually knocked down the arrows and then rushed into the group of soldiers.

Lin Jiang didn't use any cruel hands, but just beat them desperately. Almost every soldier was beaten with more than a dozen sticks. It was inevitable that his tendons and bones were broken. Soon, those soldiers used the ground as a warm bed and sang happily on the ground.

The villagers on the side were dumbfounded again, watching this scene in amazement.

Lin Jiang didn't think too much, dragged the lieutenant to Mo Zhai's house, and asked Mo Zhai to watch the door and don't let anyone make trouble.

There was no need to use any tricks. The lieutenant was already scared to death. He answered whatever Lin Jiang asked, and Lin Jiang also roughly knew the current situation through this lieutenant.

The Xia Kingdom is still there, but it can also be said that it is gone, because the Xia Kingdom is dead in name only. The tribes have become feudal states, and the feudal states have started annexation wars. There are now more than a dozen feudal states. The feudal state where Shihao Village is located is called Zheng State, which has been established for more than 200 years.

Zheng State is not strong, and it suffered an attack from the powerful Qi State last year. Zheng State is desperately resisting, but it is still losing. Now Zheng State is arresting able-bodied men in the whole country in an attempt to resist the attack of Qi State. Their team is responsible for arresting able-bodied men in the Shihao Village area.

Of course, this lieutenant is also a low-level officer. He is not very clear about the history of the Xia Kingdom and the specific situation of the Xia Kingdom now. The news he has learned is also lagging.

"The power of the king of the Xia Kingdom has fallen, the feudal states have risen, and they have annexed each other. Isn't this the Spring and Autumn Period?"

Lin Jiang muttered. There are too many missing materials in the middle, but at present, there is no difference between the current Xia Kingdom and the Spring and Autumn Period in history.

"If one person dies in Shihao Village in the future, I will slaughter a hundred officials of Zheng State. Remember my words."

Lin Jiang left a sentence, and then his body slowly rose in the eyes of everyone, and then he walked forward step by step, each step was stepping on the void.

"Martial Saint..."

The captain and a group of soldiers were collectively stagnant, looking at Lin Jiang's back in disbelief. How could Zheng State have a Martial Saint? If there was a Martial Saint, why would it be bullied by Qi State so much.

·······

In the capital of Zheng State, Shi Zheng dragged his tired body back to his home from the Zheng State Palace. The servants had prepared the pen and ink. Shi Zheng began to record today's events. Recording the court affairs of Zheng State was Shi Zheng's daily work.

But Shi Zheng was in a very bad mood today. Qi State attacked, Zheng State lost, the pro-war faction in the court gradually lost power, and the surrender faction gradually gained the upper hand. Today, the surrender faction proposed to cede land to Qi State in exchange for Qi State's withdrawal of troops. The king of Zheng State was already tempted and almost agreed.

"Zheng has been a country for more than 200 years, but I am afraid it will follow the footsteps of other feudal states."

Shi Zheng sighed. Even a small historian like him knew that Zheng was about to end. Zheng had a small territory. If it ceded more land, would it have a chance to turn things around? Maybe the next time Qi came back, it could destroy Zheng all at once.

After writing today's record, Shi Zheng just raised his head and saw that his servant had fainted on the ground, and a strange man appeared in front of him.

"Who are you? Do you know where this place is?"

"Yes, I came here just for you. Let's chat."

"Hmph, I don't negotiate with thieves."

"Nothing was stolen from your house. How can you conclude that I am a thief?"

"This is my home. You came in without asking. Aren't you a thief?"

"Haha, what the historian said is right. I'll come again then."

Lin Jiang smiled, and then he used his body skills to disappear in front of Shi Zheng. In Shi Zheng's eyes, Lin Jiang disappeared like a ghost, and he was still a little shocked.

"Sir, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you."

After a while, the servant of the family came to report again. Shi Zheng was even more stunned, and then asked someone to invite the person in.

"Mr. Historian, you let me in this time, so I am not a thief, right?" "

Who are you?"

"A common man from the mountains." "

Why did you come to see me?"

"I have been in the mountains for too long and don't know what is going on in the world. You are the historian of Zheng State, so I came to ask for advice."

"Then you should find the prime minister of Zheng State, because he knows what is going on in the world."

"I also want to know about the history of Xia State, so I have to find you."

"You have found the right person."

Shi Zheng nodded. He looked Lin Jiang up and down and found that Lin Jiang had a tender face, and seemed to be still a teenager, and did not look like some virtuous people who lived in seclusion in the mountains.

"Mr. Historian, please tell me a little about the history of Xia State, starting from Emperor Xia,"

Lin Jiang said, and then bowed to Shi Zheng. Eunuch Cao was someone Lin Jiang admired very much. Even if he was a villain, he had to be a polite villain.
