Tian Xiong in Qiyun Mountain

was listening to several accountants taking inventory of their supplies. The result made Tian Xiong frown. They were in great need of supplies. They had almost nothing when they fled to Qiyun Mountain, and now they were still penniless.

"Boss, winter is coming in a month. It's okay if we don't have winter clothes and beddings. There are plenty of wood on the mountain. We just need to cut more wood. But if we don't have food, people will starve to death. Twenty-three people starved to death last year, and there is even less food this year. What can we do?"

"Don't panic, I'll find a way."

"Boss, what can we do? We have killed all the prey in the mountains in the past two years. Even the field mice have been eaten..."

The accountant replied. They didn't have enough food every year after entering the mountains. They relied on hunting before, but there is no prey to be found in the huge Qiyun Mountain. Can you believe it?

Tian Xiong was also sad when he heard this. The wild animals in Qiyun Mountain were indeed in trouble. There was not enough food, so they went hunting. Not to mention those large prey, even the field mice were almost eaten. This winter was difficult to endure.

"General Xiao Qin, before the winter snows, you should go down the mountain a few more times. This jade pendant is my ancestral item. It should be exchanged for dozens of gold. After you exchange the money, don't buy other things, just buy food, the more the better."

"Uncle Tian, ​​this is your ancestral jade pendant, I can't..."

"Can't what? These people in the mountains follow me because they trust me. Do you want me to watch them starve to death?"

Tian Xiong said. His Tian family was originally a wealthy family in the countryside. The family had thousands of acres of land and countless family assets, but a heavy rain that lasted for half a month caused his hometown to suffer from disasters. Originally,

with his family property, it would be easy to survive this disaster, but he couldn't bear to see the scene of refugees everywhere and exchanging children for food outside, so he blatantly ruined his family to help the victims.

He thought he could survive the natural disaster, but he didn't expect the man-made disaster to come. Because of his righteous act, he was framed for conspiracy, charged with rebellion, thrown into prison, and sentenced to execution.

Just when Tian Xiong felt that he was doomed, the refugees rebelled, killed officials, broke the county town, rescued him from prison, and elected him as their leader.

This time Tian Xiong had to rebel, so he took the refugees to seek survival everywhere. At first, before the court reacted, they succeeded repeatedly, broke many county towns and rich families, and got a lot of food. But after the court reacted, their mob was no match for the court's troops and was beaten badly. If it were

n't for Qin Hu, the defender of Fengzhou, who sympathized with them and opened a hole in the encirclement to let them escape, they might have died in the chaos.

Along the way, these refugees never left him and sacrificed themselves to save him many times. He also died early, so Tian Xiong had already decided that he could not abandon them anymore. What was a mere jade pendant?

General Xiao Qin wanted to say more, but suddenly there was a bang in everyone's ears, saying, "A group of grown men, is it fun to be fussy?"

"Who, come out?"

Tian Xiong shouted, and General Xiao Qin reacted quickly. With a flash of cold light, the sword in his hand was already unsheathed, and the whole person soared into the sky, trying to stab out of the window.

But a hand stretched out from the window, and two fingers easily clamped General Xiao Qin's sword, which shocked General Xiao Qin. He wanted to draw back the sword, but found that he could not draw it at all.

"Who are you?"

Lin Jiang jumped in from the window, and Tian Xiong said in a deep voice. He and General Xiao Qin were the strongest in the righteous army, but they were only innate warriors. General Xiao Qin had a family background and was three points stronger than him.

"I wonder if you have heard of Mr. Wolong's name in the mountains?"

"Mr. Wolong, the Wolong of Zhongzhou"

"Besides Zhongzhou, are there any other places that claim to be Mr. Wolong?"

"Are you really the Mr. Wolong who killed the King of Chu and Wang Lun?"

"Will there be any benefit in lying to you?" "

..."

Tian Xiong was stunned, and suddenly realized that there was indeed no benefit.

"Sir, I wonder what you are doing here?"

"You have heard of me, so you should know what I have done outside."

"I know a thing or two."

"That's enough. Now the whole State of Chen is full of good-for-nothings. I don't like them, but I don't want to see the monsters wreaking havoc on the human territory, so I decided to conquer the world myself"

"Sir, you mean..."

"You are right. I like you and decided to take you to fly, to a prosperous life"

Lin Jiang said. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Don't doubt my strength and identity. There is nothing on you that is worth my coveting."

"Sir, what you said is too unexpected. For a moment, we are a little..."

"Can't accept it?"

"Yes."

"I see. Then I will give you a gift to prove my sincerity. Tomorrow at noon, go to the Fengzhou garrison camp outside the first hill of Qiyun Mountain to move supplies."

"Sir, you..."

"That's right, with less than 3,000 soldiers, you can destroy them all by yourself. Tian Xiong, I have high hopes for you, don't let me down."

Lin Jiang nodded, then turned and left. He disappeared in front of everyone in two or three steps, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

········

Qiyun Mountain is too big, and there is no telling how many roads there are down the mountain. If it is completely blocked, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not be enough, so they only block some of the main entrances and exits, and some small roads cannot be controlled. Anyway, the small roads are not enough for nearly 100,000 rebels to escape, which is enough.

The first hill east of Qiyun Mountain is guarded by 3,000 Fengzhou defenders. Of course, due to some empty salaries, 3,000 is just a number on paper, and there are only a little over 2,000 in reality. However, their military camps are set up in a very methodical manner. If they are more careful, even tens of thousands of soldiers will find it difficult to capture.

It was already late autumn, and Fengzhou had already transported the winter supplies to the military camp. Because the nearest town was 200 miles away, there would be snow in winter. If the soldiers were not prepared in advance, they would starve to death or freeze to death.

At noon, Lin Jiang waited for Tian Xiong three miles outside the military camp. Tian Xiong also brought 500 people. They were the most elite people in the righteous army. Almost all of them had practiced some boxing and kicking skills, and had killed people and seen blood in the battles with officers and soldiers.

"Mr. Wolong, we are here"

"You made the right choice"

"From now on, we will follow your lead"

"We'll talk about it later. You can ambush on both sides of the military camp and deal with some residual soldiers"

"Mr...."

"Just listen to me"

Lin Jiang went straight to the military camp without saying anything.

Within 200 to 300 meters of the military camp, they had been discovered by patrolling soldiers. Someone shouted at Lin Jiang, but Lin Jiang was unmoved. Then someone shot arrows. Lin Jiang caught a few arrows and dealt with those people.

The people in the barracks were soon alarmed, and a large number of soldiers began to appear. Lin Jiang did not give them time to form a team, nor did he give them the opportunity to operate the large crossbow. He directly rushed into the barracks.

The guard of the barracks was a strong man with a full beard on his face. His martial arts skills were also at the level of innate perfection. Lin Jiang found him and slapped him to death. Then he shouted to everyone, "Put down your swords and spare your life..." After Lin Jiang

shouted, he allowed everyone to use swords and knives, but he could not hurt him at all. After many low-level officers found out, they had realized Lin Jiang's martial arts skills. Some chose to escape, some chose to continue to fight, and some were at a loss.

Lin Jiang who continued to fight could only kill them. For the rest, he tried his best to force them to surrender. At the same time, he prevented anyone from destroying the barracks. Fortunately, it was daytime and there were not many places to use fire.

A quarter of an hour later, Tian Xiong came in with his men. Tian Xiong's appearance forced the remaining people to collapse. More and more people surrendered. Of course, those who refused to surrender and dared to resist were all dealt with by Lin Jiang.

"Sir, what should we do with these captives?"

Tian Xiong took over the rest of the tasks naturally, and asked people to gather the captives and count the spoils.

"All the captives must leave behind their swords, guns, clothes and armor, and then give them twenty copper coins and five pounds of dry food as travel expenses, and let them leave. The wounded will be treated. By the way, see if there are any craftsmen and the like, and take them back to the mountains."

"Sir, be kind and righteous .

" "Release them after we leave."

Lin Jiang nodded. He was really not a butcher, and there was no need to commit murder at will.

"Sir, the food and wages of three thousand soldiers for several months are not enough to support more than 100,000 people in the mountains. Why not use this opportunity to kill outside the mountains and sweep the world?"

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar said to Lin Jiang. This man was Tian Xiong's military advisor. It was said that he was his cellmate in the gang. He was originally a scholar and was also framed and put in jail.

"It's not so easy to conquer the world. Although I am invincible, I don't want a broken world. I need a complete world, because I not only want to change the dynasty, but also to drive out the monsters,"

said Lin Jiang. It is easy to conquer the world but difficult to sit on it. He needs the complete Chen Kingdom as a backing to fight the monsters, so he needs to prepare for a while.

"Sir, you have great ambitions. I admire you, but this cold winter..."

"Don't worry, I have my own plans. Tian Xiong is here."

"Sir, I'm here."

"Feed these captives for a few days before releasing them. You go to the mountains and ask people to move the supplies here. We will go to the foot of the mountain to borrow food."

"Ah, borrow food?"

"Well, I see there are many rich families at the foot of the mountain. Borrow some from them,"

said Lin Jiang. Those landlords have exploited so many people, filling their granaries with food and their cellars with gold, silver and jewelry. It's not too much to borrow some from them.

Tian Xiong understood immediately and became very excited. Although innate warriors are considered masters, they are not rare and they do not have this ability. However, the strength shown by Lin Jiang has confirmed his cultivation as a Martial Saint. With the help of a Martial Saint, why should they be afraid that those wealthy families will not lend money?
