Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 88 Coming out of seclusion
“Ding ding ding!” “Ah——!”

Amid the screams, Shopkeeper Qiao opened his eyes, put on his clothes expressionlessly, walked out of the carriage and looked outside.

I saw a disciple of the Sword Sect with a broken arm, supporting another disciple whose face was covered in blood, whose eyebrow was split by a sword, and who was blinded. He also had only one hand left. He staggered out of the forest and looked at me with endless hatred.

Then the shopkeeper turned his head and looked at the young man sitting on the roof of the car, wiping his sword.

Tiedan: "Mandrill."

Shopkeeper Qiao didn't want to talk.

No matter what, Tiedan kept his promise and did not kill anyone.

He just drew his sword before the other party could make a move, chopping off the hands and arms of these fellow disciples, turning them into disabled people one by one.

Well, after walking for another seven days, we were almost out of the mountain. Two of them had their iron balls chopped off twice, and even their eyes were blinded...

I have to say that the disciples of the Sword Sect are quite stubborn. These idiots, each of whom has one hand cut off, still insist on fighting one-on-one. They are really trying to be fair to him.

But we can't say that they have lost their minds. I remember the person from Yuqing Dao said last time that a one-on-one sword fight can seem to take away a person's luck.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, Tiedan had fought a life-and-death battle with their instructor and was exhausted by the round-the-clock battles. He was probably at the end of his strength. Whoever could kill him would be able to seize his luck, so it was naturally worth taking a risk.

It's not a bad idea actually. Although Tiedan is now "seriously injured" and it's probably just pretending, even a man of iron can't stay up all night for ten days without any rest and be fully alert.

Tiedan is now almost at his limit. His head is dizzy and the range of his spiritual perception has dropped by more than half. In fact, he is almost at the distance from the opponent's flying sword. If he fails to notice or react in time, he may be hit by the sword and die. It is very dangerous.

But fortunately he still has a magic weapon and a gourd spirit, which can help keep watch in secret. In case of any disturbance, the gourd in his arms will vibrate immediately to remind him, so he can hold on for the time being.

But I can't wait any longer. I have to take action as soon as I get out of seclusion. If that doesn't work, I'll use the Invisible Sword to kill all these fellow disciples...

"Taiwanese friend, railway friend?"

"……explain."

Being stared at by Tiedan with bloodshot eyes, Shopkeeper Qiao swallowed his saliva and carefully handed over a set of clothes.
"Looking at the speed, we can reach Weize Pass around noon. There are troops from Genzhou guarding the pass. Although they have established connections with the upper and lower levels and dare not embarrass us, are they from that side? Please change into casual clothes and cover up to avoid any trouble."

"it is good."

Seeing that the disciples of Benshan had also changed their clothes, wearing straw hats and raincoats to cover their blood-stained green robes, Tiedan also disguised himself and continued to move forward with the caravan.

However, before reaching Weize Pass, the three one-armed Benshan disciples who were responsible for walking in the front to explore the way returned to the convoy first.

Tiedan thought that the other side had finally figured it out and wanted to take the initiative, preparing to kill the two blind men in the rear team first, so as to avoid being attacked from both sides and unable to take care of both ends.

However, the other party did not take any action. Only two of them watched Tiedan vigilantly, while the leader found Manager Qiao.

"The road in front of Wei Ze Pass is blocked, and there is a large group of refugees fleeing ahead."

"Refugees? Fleeing to Qianzhou from these desolate mountains and wilderness?"

Shopkeeper Qiao was also curious, so he asked the convoy to stay temporarily and took two helpers and a disciple of the Sword Sect with him to go out and check it out.

This delayed them for a while, and by noon they still hadn't gotten through, but they did find out everything from Shopkeeper Qiao.

"The army of Kan State has entered Genzhou."

"Sooner or later."

After all, Tiedan had worked as a servant for a powerful family in Shuofang, so he naturally knew what was happening in the north.

If they want to secure their rule over the world, the twelve nations should fight each other and get beaten to a bloody pulp. This is what the three lords of the Three Palaces want to see.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, the general swept across Yinshan Mountain and the entire northern plains were flattened. From Yunzhong to Gaoque, the vast ice sea tundra south of Guixu all became the property of the Kan Kingdom.

All the creatures on this land had to go south to pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven in the Central Plains. Since then, the north has been pacified and the world has been stable for a hundred years.

Of course, it is not easy to have peace in the world. The population of the Central Plains living in the north is not large. Most of them are conquered foreigners from the north, and various demons and monsters. Except for a few monks and merchants, most of those who go to such a bitter and cold place are prisoners and their families who were forcibly exiled from the Central Plains. There are rebellious waves every few days.

However, the Three Yuans were busy fighting for power and were too lazy to care about the affairs of the north. Moreover, they also relied on the Kan Kingdom as a barrier to the demons and a prison to exile political enemies. Therefore, they not only did not interfere in its internal affairs, but also allocated annual tribute and rewards regularly, so as to avoid the Kan Kingdom being overthrown by the demons and having to fight on two fronts, which would be very troublesome. Although the Xuanmen would assassinate the officials of the Demon Palace at any time, the Xuanmen had few people and it was impossible for them to kill officials all day long. In addition to searching for natural treasures, not many people would go to the Arctic Icefield.

Even the occasional Xuanmen disciples who traveled around would, for the sake of being of the same race as those from the Central Plains, take the initiative to join the Kan Kingdom in its campaign against the demons and suppression of foreign nations. As the sky was high and the Immortal Emperor was far away, the Kan Kingdom also secretly traded supplies and techniques with the Xuanmen, and the two sides got along surprisingly well.

Therefore, in general, the State of Kan, which had reaped all the benefits of the Northern Expedition during the reign of Emperor Wu and was responsible for guarding the north, was rapidly increasing in national strength.

This is in stark contrast to the neighboring Gen State in the south.

Just by looking at the geography, you can tell that Gen State is truly a place surrounded by enemies. To the south, it is only separated from the royal capital by the Gen River. The gentlemen of the three palaces cannot bear to see the peace and prosperity of Gen State. They take sides from morning to night and instigate internal strife among the royal family, vassal states and clans without stopping.

To the north, the Yinshan Mountains are a thousand miles of ice fields. Not only does it have frequent border conflicts with the Kan Kingdom due to the instigation of the imperial court, but it also faces looting and rebellion by foreign races, and is directly confronted with the attacks of the monster tide from the Guixu Demon Realm.

To the west is the Xuannv Mountains, which are separated by a mountain and form eight dangerous passes. The demons can fly over and occupy the mountain, become kings, kill officials and rebel, but your army cannot penetrate them at all and cannot stop them.

In the vast ocean to the east, there are evil dragons and sea monsters from time to time, which turn the rivers and seas upside down, causing huge waves, swallowing up fields, flooding states, and devouring the people.

As a result of the constant commotion from all directions, the Gen Kingdom was finally defeated.

“I heard that last winter, Duke Zhongshan of Kan State defeated Shuofang, beheaded 20,000 people, and abducted 300,000 civilians.

The State of Gen sent a large army out of the pass to retaliate, but the royal army was surrounded and annihilated in Liangcheng. The commander of the State of Gen was put into a sack by the Duke of Zhongshan, and thrown off an arrow tower to death. His meat was then cut off and eaten, and 130,000 surrendered soldiers were all killed in a pit before his eyes.

Now the army of Kan is rushing all the way to Ye City. The various vassal states in northern Gen surrendered upon hearing the news. When they heard that the wolf soldiers of Kan were raiding their territory, the people of Gen fled south one after another, and many of them came to Qianzhou. "

"Mr. Zhongshan, that madman..."

Tiedan had not only heard of the reputation of Zhongshan Gong, but he had also fought against him in Shuofang Plain before. Of course, it was not face to face, but just a confrontation between the large army and a small group of scouts.

But just by looking at how the other side trains their troops, how they lead the army, and the tragic scenes left behind when the army passes through, you can tell what kind of person the commander is.

No, that's probably not a person.

It’s a pity that Duke Zhongshan is not a big shot. Although there are so many smart people in the Demon Palace, no one takes it seriously.

After all, the officials in the court were keeping their eyes on the situation of the twelve countries and the general trend of the world.

Nowadays, Kan State is growing stronger day by day, and the ruler of Kan State is also a very capable man. Besides, the north is extremely poor, and there are no powerful families to restrain it. In order to defend against the monsters, the three lords of the Three Palaces dare not make too much trouble in Kan State.

So over the years, Duke Kan employed those unsuccessful poor people in the Central Plains, the exiled party members who were desperate, and the feudal lords who were eager to make achievements. He gradually recovered the foreign ethnic groups in the border areas who were conquered by Emperor Wu's heavenly army, monopolized the northern trade, accumulated rich national reserves, and gradually became a powerful force.

Therefore, as a necessary check and balance, Duke Zhongshan, a member of the royal family of Kan State and the cousin of the ruler of Kan State, who was sent to Wangjing as a hostage, was chosen by the Sanyuan court.

The imperial court not only vigorously cultivated him and made him a martial god in the realm of transformation, but also specially appointed him as General of Cavalry, gave him the same title as the Three Officials, sent him back to guard the northern frontier, and granted him the title of Taiwei of Kan State, saying that he was there to monitor demons, but in fact he was there to split the military power of Kan State.

If such an important chess piece has some shortcomings in personal morality and mental ability, what does it matter? People would rather you turn the world upside down and destroy the country of Kan.

Thus, Duke Zhongshan, this crazy and inhuman chess piece, came into being and was thrown into the chess game of the world.

It seems like a very clever plan, but it's a pity that the heads of the noble families who plan strategies in the court and kill people without bloodshed in the ancestral temples have no idea what the warriors in the bitter cold land of the north who kill with swords and guns are thinking and what they want.
They only know how to burn incense, drink tea, hug their concubines, point out the mountains and rivers, and comment on the world, but they are unwilling to kill a chicken themselves. How can they know how hot the blood of living beings is, or how cold the ice in the north is?

So where are the checks and balances now?

Duke Kan was unable to obtain the elixir that would prolong his life, and he was getting old. All the elite troops in the country looked down upon the weak and incompetent prince, and the wolf soldiers and tiger generals who were guarding the immortal army naturally all regarded this authentic General Huoqi Huadi as their leader.

The foreign races and demons in the north also worshipped the truly strong and iron-blooded warriors. They felt that the cruel and tyrannical Zhongshan Gong, who often led them south to rob, was like a family member...

Thus, Kanyuan Ice Ruins, this land so cold and cruel that it could not tolerate a single bit of warmth, softness or weakness, finally welcomed its true master.

Meanwhile, in the three palaces of the Immortal Palace, the eunuchs and ministers were still arguing and fighting among themselves over the throne, over party membership, over the southern expedition, over the evil sects, and over all sorts of other messy things.

Duke Zhongshan, a man who was ignored by all the nobles in the capital of the Central Plains, but in the icy and snowy land, he became a well-known madman among the warriors holding swords and guarding the border.

He overturned the chessboard and led the army into the State of Gen.
