In the valley of practice
Wei Han, who had just experienced a bloody massacre, officially entered a state of seclusion, hiding himself completely to avoid the chaos.
He had no idea that someone was already eyeing him.
But even if he knew, he would probably be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't have any royal blood of the previous dynasty. He just relied on cheating to practice the Black Armor Dragon Scale Skill. After all, no matter what kind of skill it was, as long as there was a chance to practice it, it could be easily mastered by automatically hanging up.
For more than half a month, Wei Han hid in the valley and did not go out.
He even ordered the Snow Mountain Condor not to go out during the day.
After all, he had exposed the existence of the condor when he evacuated. If it had been flying around in the sky in broad daylight, it would have been easily spotted.
Only when it was dark and windy at night would he ride on the divine eagle to hunt monsters and quietly increase his own strength.
Of course, Wei Han is not completely ignorant of the outside world.
He used red kestrel and blue-feathered eagle to keep an eye on the rebels' every move.
He then sent a message to Xu Youran using three little birds to confirm again and again that nothing had happened at Baishan Hall. Only then did he continue to live in seclusion happily, allowing the outside world to become a mess and not stepping out of the valley.
In the blink of an eye, it was October, and Qingshan County, which had been in turmoil for a long time, finally returned to peace.
The rebels officially took over the place. They eliminated all resisters, massacred them and looted countless wealth, making everyone in the city terrified.
When no one dared to resist anymore, they finally adopted a conciliatory attitude.
Not only did he post a notice to reassure the people, he also took the initiative to withdraw his troops and stationed them outside the city, pretending that he would not harm the people at all, and even took the initiative to send soldiers to patrol the streets.
After killing hundreds of thieves, fighters, and troublemakers, King Xiao's army officially gained the recognition of the people and gradually calmed the panicked people.
At this point, Wei Han finally decided to leave the valley!
He disguised himself as a lame boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a basket on his back, and walked slowly towards the north gate of Qingshan County.
At this time, some people have returned to the county!
The people hiding in their homes went out one after another, and many mountain villagers also went into the city to sell mountain products or buy food and clothing. There were also a dozen people sparsely lined up at the city gate.
A team of black-armored rebels were guarding the city gate.
Every passerby entering or leaving was searched by them.
"Who are you? Where do you live? What are you doing in the county town?"
When it was Wei Han's turn, a soldier shouted with sharp eyes.
"Reply, reply to your question, General!" Wei Han pretended to be nervous and said, "My name is Zhang Fei. I am sixteen years old this year. I live in the third yard on the left side of Green Willow Lane in the west of Qingshan County. My parents died early. I went to stay at my uncle's house in the mountains some time ago. I just came back today. This is my imperial edict!"
As he spoke, Wei Han handed over a household registration book.
His identity had been prepared long ago and could withstand inspection.
Moreover, he had lived in Qingshan County for a year, so there was nothing wrong with his accent.
The soldier took another look at his limp and couldn't help but relax his vigilance.
"Locals, right? Okay, three cents for the city entrance fee." The soldier flipped through the imperial register and threw it back impatiently, "Pay the money and get out!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, General, thank you!" Wei Han paid the three cents with a distressed look on his face. Just as he was about to leave, he bravely continued to smile and said, "General, I heard that your army is recruiting people, right?"
"Hey? You cripple want to join the army?"
"Go, go, go, what are you thinking about?"
The soldiers guarding the city were disgusted.
Wei Han scratched his head with a silly smile and said with a smile: "Although I am a cripple, I have learned martial arts since I was young and have a lot of strength. My father used to be a blacksmith, so I thought about joining Wang Jun and becoming a blacksmith."
"Oh, I didn't realize you have some skills?" The soldier's expression eased a little, patted his shoulder and said, "Look, you are a smart guy. Our Wang Army is indeed short of people. Go to the south of the city to sign up. Just say you are my nephew, Wang Wu, and someone will naturally greet you."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!"
Wei Han pretended to be excited and thanked him.
Only then did he drag his crippled leg and walk in happily.
His identity was set very cleverly. Since his legs were crippled and he couldn't join the army, he didn't have to worry about being drafted as cannon fodder, and he could join the rebels as a blacksmith.
On the one hand, you can take the opportunity to learn some forging skills and forge your own ten thousand jin iron spear in the future.
Secondly, you can hide your identity easily.
No one could have imagined that the famous Wei Xiaoshen Doctor would actually become a lame boy and prepare to join the rebels.
The city gate was crowded with people at this moment.
Portraits of wanted criminals were posted on it.
Wei Han leaned over and took a look, then immediately laughed out loud.
Because he had two wanted portraits, one was of Doctor Wei, and the other was of him in disguise outside the Tiger Hunting Manor last time.
The rebels even offered a large reward for the whereabouts of a snow mountain condor!
This high-profile manhunt is really ridiculous.
Wei Han strolled around Qingshan County for a while with ease and found that although there seemed to be no changes in the city, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before.
Everyone kept silent about King Xiao’s army and the massacre that took place half a month ago.
The people were also in this silence, like puppets, numbly and submissively dealing with various forms of plunder.
"When prosperity comes, the people suffer! When destruction comes, the people suffer!"
"The Dali Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years and is already terminally ill."
"Whether the rebels are in power or the court is in charge, what does it have to do with them? Aren't all the living beings going to be drained of blood?"
A sense of enlightenment arose in Wei Han's heart.
He suddenly understood the silence of the people of Qingshan County.
They are powerless to resist and can only endure it passively. What else can they do if not remain silent?
Anyway, whoever becomes the master of this county will have to plunder them. How can they resist when they are powerless?
"well!"
Wei Han sighed in silence and lost the desire to wander around.
He went to Green Willow Lane in the west of the city.
This is a narrow and dilapidated alley. Although it is not as dirty and messy as the slums in the south of the city, it is not much better. Most of the people living here are ordinary people with small families.
Wei Han had just opened his own small courtyard.
The door of a nearby resident quietly opened, and a fat lady in emerald green clothes saw him, and first breathed a sigh of relief, then greeted him: "It's Xiaofei, you're back from visiting your parents?"
"Third aunt, is everything okay at your home? Here, these are the mountain products I brought from my uncle's house. Take some back and try them." Wei Han asked with concern while taking out two strips of bacon from the basket and handing them over.
These neighbors had become acquainted with each other more than half a month ago. Although they did not know each other intimately, they could provide some cover for his new identity, so Wei Han would give them some benefits from time to time.
As the saying goes, you should be grateful to those who give you favors!
The fat aunt smiled happily when she saw the bacon.
As he took it, he said, "I can't accept this. But you are lucky, A Fei. You happened to be visiting your relatives and escaped the war. You don't know how many people died in the county. The heads chopped off outside the city blocked the moat."
"So scary?" Wei Han pretended to exclaim.
"That's right, you're young and haven't seen a big scene. Old Chen and Liu the tailor's house in our alley were robbed during the chaos. No one in the family survived. It was so tragic!"
Once the fat aunt started talking, all kinds of words came pouring out.
The people in the city had been feeling frustrated and fearful over the past few days, which was clearly revealed at this moment.
Wei Han stopped and listened silently, but in his heart he couldn't help but secretly thankful for his smart choice.
