The news of Zhongzhou City spread out at the fastest speed. In the south of Chen State, it caused a public opinion that was almost like a tsunami. Everyone was shocked, shocked, and shocked.

They were shocked by Lin Jiang's audacity. A powerful official, a prince of Chen State, was killed without saying anything.

They were shocked by Lin Jiang's terrifying power. Thousands of elite troops and hundreds of martial arts masters were as fragile as window paper in front of Lin Jiang. Even a martial arts saint could not withstand a single move. Is this still a human?

After the shock, there was a tsunami-like crusade. Power cannot be challenged or threatened. Warlords from all over the country had people speak out to denounce Lin Jiang's crimes, while frantically recruiting martial arts masters to protect themselves.

In the south of Chen State, there was a scene of demons dancing wildly.

·······

When countless spies were chasing Lin Jiang's trail, Lin Jiang had already walked around the Yunzhong Mountains. He went to the Yunzhong Mountains mainly to see the frontier defense of Southern Chen.

However, after walking around, Lin Jiang was even more disappointed, because he did not see any elite troops. What he saw were mainly old, weak, sick and disabled. Several warlords in the Southern Chen brought the most elite troops with them to prevent sneak attacks from other warlords, rather than going to the front line to resist the monsters. In other words,

the monsters did not go south again, otherwise how could the old, weak, sick and disabled on the front line resist the monsters' front.

As for why the monsters did not go south, Lin Jiang already knew that the main reason was that there were not many monsters. According to the northerners who fled to the south, the monsters who broke through the Xian Kingdom and Chen Kingdom were only five large tribes with dozens of small tribes, and the total number of monsters was only tens of millions.

Tens of millions of monsters occupied hundreds of thousands of miles of land, and they could not occupy it at all. Nowadays, even in the north of the Xian Kingdom and Chen Kingdom, the monsters only occupied the main cities. There was no trace of monsters in some rural areas.

The monsters had long changed their brutal behavior thousands of years ago. They no longer killed the human race blindly, and they also recruited many human races to become their servants.

"Compared to the progress of the demons, those people in the State of Chen are simply hopeless.

Let's start a new business." Lin Jiang was extremely disappointed. He no longer counted on those warlords and was ready to start a new business. Since they were not doing well, he should do well himself.

After returning from the Yunzhong Mountains, Lin Jiang inquired along the way. As expected, three or four months had passed since the Zhongzhou City Incident, and the warlords had done nothing except searching for his traces.

In fact, Lin Jiang could understand that the current State of Chen was already in the last years of the dynasty, with many problems and signs of national destruction. It would be strange if they could rectify the internal affairs within a few months.

The idea of ​​starting a new business became more and more determined. Lin Jiang came all the way to Qiyun Mountain in Fengzhou. The purpose of coming here was that there was still an uprising army in Qiyun Mountain.

Speaking of it, it was also bad luck for the State of Chen. The north was gone, and the south was not peaceful. In the past few years, there were disasters everywhere, such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, and locust plagues. They took turns. This was the disadvantage of a large territory, and there were disasters almost every year.

The situation of the State of Chen made it impossible for them to provide disaster relief, so the refugees became the rebels. After becoming the rebels, they no longer needed to provide disaster relief, but instead suppressed the rebels.

The rebels were weak and no match for the imperial court. They were soon torn apart and surrounded by the imperial court's troops. In Fengzhou, a general of the imperial court deliberately opened a gap when besieging the rebels because he sympathized with them, allowing the rebels to escape into Mount Qiyun.

Mount Qiyun is thousands of miles in radius, with steep mountains, lush vegetation, and dense miasma. Except for some uncivilized natives, it is difficult for people to survive, let alone hundreds of thousands of disaster victims. Therefore

, the imperial court did not go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, but only blocked the intersections, hoping to starve the people in the mountains to death. Of course, the deeper reason is that the warlords today are unwilling to send too many people into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, fearing that other warlords will take advantage of their own weakness.

"It's General Xiao Qin."

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from a certain intersection of Qiyun Mountain. Then, a dozen soldiers holding bows and arrows stood up from the bushes. In front of the intersection, there was a young man with dozens of porters. The man saw everyone, but he was not panicked.

"Thank you, everyone. Just put the things here. Let's go back."

General Xiao Qin turned around and said to the porters. Then he settled their wages. The porters returned, and the soldiers carried the goods and continued to walk into the mountains.

Every time they walked a section, a few people would come out from the roadside to take over. These were the sentries arranged by the rebels in the mountains. After walking for dozens of miles, everyone came to a relatively flat valley. There were many buildings around the valley, most of which were thatched huts and wooden houses.

"General Xiao Qin, how was your trip down the mountain this time? Did you encounter any danger?"

A middle-aged man came up and said to General Xiao Qin. They were trapped in Qiyun Mountain and lacked everything, so they would send people to quietly go down the mountain to purchase every once in a while.

"I didn't encounter any danger. My father's former subordinates are still here. This time I brought an extra 200 kilograms of salt and 10,000 arrowheads,"

said General Xiao Qin. His father used to be a garrison commander in Fengzhou. Because he sympathized with the rebels, he quietly let the rebels flee to Qiyun Mountain, but his father was persecuted by the court because of this. The whole family was uprooted. He was the only survivor, and then he entered Qiyun Mountain as a thief.

Qiyun Mountain was short of supplies, so he volunteered to go down the mountain to purchase. Relying on his father's previous connections, he was safe. He has gone down the mountain seven or eight times, and each time was very smooth.

"That's good, that's good, General Xiao Qin, how is the situation outside?"

"Very bad, the government is still corrupt, and it's getting worse. The emperor of Daizhou is recruiting soldiers again, and the people are suffering more and more. But

something happened in Zhongzhou." "Zhongzhou, is it the King of Chu? What happened?"

"Zhongzhou has a martial arts predecessor named Mr. Wolong. He publicized that whoever gets Wolong will get the world. At first, no one paid attention. Then not long after, he announced to the entire Chen State that if the emperors of the states did not reorganize their internal affairs and prepare for the Northern Expedition, they would be killed."

"Ah, this man is so arrogant, the King of Chu can tolerate it, and Wang Lun can't tolerate it either."

"Yes, so something happened. Wang Lun sent thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege Mr. Wolong, but they were no match for Mr. Wolong. Even Wang Lun's personal troops and the famous Martial Saint Canghai Swordsman were killed by Mr. Wolong in one move. After that, Mr. Wolong killed the King of Chu and Wang Lun, and warned everyone that if no wise ruler was born, he would kill everyone. Now Zhongzhou has been divided up"

"Hiss, there are such powerful warriors in the world?"

Everyone found it unbelievable after hearing this. Is there really anyone who can ignore the army?

"I can't guarantee the specific news is true, I just know that it's all over the place. The emperor of Daizhou is scared to death and has been looking for warriors to protect him. Xiantian warriors have offered a price of 500 gold coins per month. In the past, martial arts masters didn't even get this price."

"The emperor of Daizhou is so panicked, I'm afraid it's true. Alas, if such a hero continues to be a lackey of the court, it will not be a blessing for the world."

The middle-aged man said. Over the years, he has seen through the court. It is full of mediocre and incompetent people, and they are also extremely greedy, squeezing the people.

The more powerful the masters join the court, the heavier the burden on the people.

"Uncle Tian, ​​are we still going to break out? Now many martial arts masters in Fengzhou have been transferred. If we break out, our chances of winning will be much higher than before."

"Not yet. There are so many old, weak, sick and disabled people. If we break out, they can't take them away. If we are not here, they will definitely die here,"

said the middle-aged man. Qiyun Mountain is a cage. They will be trapped here sooner or later. It is not enough to rely on General Xiao Qin to bring back some supplies. But he can't leave those old, weak, sick and disabled people. If they leave, there will be only those people left. How can they survive ?

········

Lin Jiang secretly lurked in Qiyun Mountain for half a month. He had heard about this group of rebels in Qiyun Mountain in Zhongzhou City a long time ago. Lin Jiang wanted to start a new business, so he needed a group of reliable people. Those who were against the court were naturally the ones he wanted. However,

Lin Jiang also had to examine the character of these people. He didn't want everyone. For now, he was very satisfied with this group of rebels in Qiyun Mountain.

Because Lin Jiang saw many things worthy of praise, such as he saw many old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. These people were definitely a burden to their power, but they were not abandoned. This brilliance of humanity is worthy of praise no matter in which era.

Secondly, Lin Jiang saw that there were many farmlands in Qiyun Mountain, and some people were still digging water conservancy measures. They also had a good relationship with the natives in the mountains, traded with the natives, and even taught the natives advanced agricultural techniques.

This shows that the leader of this group of rebels is a brave and resourceful person with a long-term vision, not to mention the endless open and secret sentries in Qiyun Mountain, which shows that their military quality is also good.

So Lin Jiang thought about it and decided to show up and fight for the world again, starting from Qiyun Mountain.
