Chapter 119: The Flowing Shadow Fist suppresses mountains and rivers, and the Yuanlong Sect reappears!
For three consecutive days, the Black Mountain Army under Zheng Jun recaptured three counties one after another.

The speed of progress was not much slower than the speed at which Generals Fan Tai and Ding Ming captured towns.

However, the difficulty of the two cannot be compared.

The bandits swarmed around the city and attacked it, causing many casualties.

The Black Mountain Army, led by Chen Jingzhong, attacked and captured dilapidated county towns. In these dilapidated county towns, there were only a dozen or so bandit soldiers stationed there, and there were only five soldiers from the old camp.

Just like this, after conquering three cities in succession, the rest of the soldiers in the old camp also learned the news and retreated one after another, and the bandit threat in Kangle County was resolved.

Only a devastated land was left.

In Miaoxin County, after three days of simple repairs, the county government office has begun to look like it is in good shape.

On the parade ground, Zheng Jun stood beside the door frame, staring at the young figure on the parade ground, and casually threw a Qi Storage Pill into his mouth as if throwing a cake.

The pill tastes slightly sweet when you take it.

Zheng Jun's mouth was watering as he felt the slight warmth rising in his body. He felt that after he became an external Qi, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy had increased a little.

"This batch of pills is pretty good."

Zheng Jun couldn't help but nodded slightly, then swallowed another pill.

For martial artists who store qi, they naturally cannot take too much of this Qi Storage Pill. Taking too much will inevitably hurt the spleen and stomach, and may even damage the heart and tear the meridians.

But Zheng Jun is an outer-gang warrior after all, and he has practiced the Broken Jade Technique, so his internal Qi is powerful and his meridians are wide, which makes him different from other people.

Not to mention taking these two Qi Cang Dan pills, even if you take Ning Gang San, at most it would just be a waste of some of the medicinal effects, and there is no possibility of backlash from the medicine.

As for most of the remaining pills, they have been given away by Zheng Jun as rewards to those who have made contributions in this battle.

After all, in this world, a person's martial arts strength is the important way to get promoted and make money.

Even if one has made great contributions, the most he would be rewarded with gold and silver, or get some honorary position.

In the military, only cultivation is real.

Once his cultivation level has improved, even if he has not made any achievements, he will still be a person that cannot be underestimated.

If you have some merit, you can protect your clan members.

Therefore, the rewards of elixirs and martial arts to meritorious officials were more generous than other rewards.

However, another measure is needed for the militiamen recently selected from among the refugees.

for example……

Grant land.

Granting soldiers land and allowing them to acquire land in Kangle County will make them feel a sense of belonging to the local area.

Most of these refugees were ordinary strong men who had never practiced blood refining.

For soldiers of this level, fields are relatively important. Otherwise, why would these refugees from Xuanzhou, Suzhou, and Yanting County fight for Kangle County?

After the land was granted, the army also needed a large amount of meat to allow the soldiers to refine their blood as soon as possible.

Blood refining for all members is the basic standard for a regular army.

My own subordinates are still a little worse.

They haven't even reached half of the blood refining level. Including the eighty cavalrymen from Nanchu brought by Chen Jingzhong, there are only about four hundred and seventy blood refining warriors in Zheng Jun's army.

"Whoo~"

Zheng Jun let out a breath and continued to watch Wei Quan practicing.

But all I saw was Wei Quan breathing in and out some kind of strange internal energy, immersed in the world of cultivation, his chest rising and falling, and the movements of his hands also stretching out.

Wei Quan had completed half of the thirty-six boxing moves when all his energy and blood had been used up. He was sweating all over, and his muscles and bones were making strange 'cracking' sounds from friction.

Wei Quan only stopped to rest for a moment, and immediately a new stream of energy and blood surged in his body, flowing into his limbs and bones, making him feel refreshed immediately, as if he were alive again.

However, when Wei Quan was practicing, he looked towards the direction of the county government's mansion with some hesitation. He vaguely felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching him from there.

This gaze was so profound that Wei Quan felt as if his inner secrets were seen through. He immediately felt a chill and subconsciously did not want to continue punching.

But when he thought about it, that direction was the residence of General Zheng, who valued him the most and who had saved his life, General Zheng should not have any ill intentions no matter what.

With this thought in mind, Wei Quan slowly calmed down, took a deep breath to dispel the feeling of disgust and chill, and continued to immerse himself in the practice of martial arts.

Zheng Jun, on the other hand, had been watching silently, and he sighed in his heart: "Is this the Flowing Shadow Floating Life Fist to Suppress Mountains and Rivers? It is indeed exquisite and incomparable. This fist is indeed worthy of a higher-level challenge. I am afraid that even a Qi-accumulating warrior would not be able to defeat Wei Quan at this moment."

To be honest, it's too profound and I can't understand it.

If Zheng Jun were to watch him practice like this every day, he wouldn't understand even if he watched for thirty years, let alone thirty days.

I don't have that kind of extraordinary understanding.

But what can I do? I have a cheat.

It’s not open unless it’s closed.

Zheng Jun can clearly sense Wei Quan's current strength, which is indeed stronger than when he was in the Blood Refining Realm.

After all, when he was in the Blood Refining Realm, he didn't have this kind of magical martial arts. He only had a small level of success in the Wave-Treading Sword Technique that he could use. He was definitely no match for this kind of magical power.

But that's it.

With the great martial arts book at hand, one is destined to become stronger and stronger.

This 'Flowing Shadow Floating Life Fist to Suppress Mountains and Rivers' is indeed arrogant, but soon, it will be mine!
Zheng Jun couldn't help but smile.

Not long after, when Wei Quan finished his martial arts performance, a line of small ink characters appeared in front of Zheng Jun.

【This has been copied for the second time.】

Looking at the small ink characters in front of him, Zheng Jun nodded with satisfaction, then clapped his hands and walked out of the county government office, saying to Wei Quan who was regulating his breathing on the training ground: "Not bad, good boxing! After practicing, go to the quartermaster to get three blood-enhancing pills! Just say it was my order."

Upon hearing this, Wei Quan was overjoyed and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, thank you, Master Zheng!"

Yixue Pills!
That's a good helper for martial arts practice!
Master Zheng is really heroic. He takes blood-benefiting pills every day. Such a general is truly worth following!
Wei Quan thought to himself that he had made a huge profit.

The last bit of resistance in my heart was completely eliminated.

Looking at Wei Quan's happy expression, Zheng Jun even felt guilty: "A few dozen Yixue Pills can be exchanged for a 'divine martial arts'. If those aristocratic families knew about this, they would definitely give him a thumbs up and feel inferior."

It is indeed the case.

Marquis Wuyong had made great military achievements and accumulated wealth from the Cai family in Bozhou. Marquis Wuyong's son, the contemporary ancestor of the Cai family, was apparently at the peak of Tongqiao, but in fact he had already reached Yuandan.

Even so, with two generations of Yuandan, the Cai family of Bozhou only had two magical martial arts.

One of them was given by the imperial court and was not a unique martial art.

And now Zheng Jun has mastered two gates and is about to get the third gate... He has achieved the result of 200 years of hard work of the aristocratic family in one year.

"Use it slowly and you will break through sooner."

Zheng Jun was amiable. He looked at Wei Quan like an elder looking at a rising junior in the clan. He said with great admiration, "If you don't have enough elixirs in the future, just go get some! Back then, when I was in the Qi Accumulation Stage, I had already killed three outer Gangs. Little Wei, I hope you can surpass my achievements, lead my personal soldiers, defeat the enemy and kill the generals, and make an unprecedented contribution."

"Yes!"

Wei Quan was extremely excited and immediately clasped his fists in agreement, saying that he had understood Zheng Jun's teachings and vowed to kill the traitor.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun nodded calmly and casually, then walked back to the training ground, ready to start dealing with today's government affairs.

Miaoxin County Magistrate Qiao Zijing, who was standing by, did not feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, he felt that it was natural. He stood beside Zheng Jun and reported to him what was happening: "General, the messenger we sent to the county city has disappeared without a trace. General Chen has led his troops into the suburbs, and the gates of the county city are closed. No news has been heard."

What's the point of him being the magistrate of Miaoxin County?
Ever since he witnessed Zheng Jun's strength with his own eyes, a new idea began to arise in Qiao Zijing's mind.

Following Zheng Jun, not only should he not be responsible for losing the land, he would probably even make further progress!
Thinking of this, Qiao Zijing took a deep breath and was eager to try: "I guess it is the governor Feng of Kangle County who is afraid that your messenger is a bandit in disguise and wants to trick the city gate open, so he dare not open the gate."

The Fengfeng County Magistrate used to be his immediate superior, so Qiao Zijing thought it was quite normal for him to behave like this now.

This is consistent with the usual style of Magistrate Feng.

Chicken-hearted.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun nodded slightly, as if he indirectly agreed with Qiao Zijing's statement: Indeed, he did not have any other imperial decrees, and this time he came here purely forcibly. Strictly speaking, at the official level, he was no different from Generals Fan Tai and Ding Ming.

The difference is that they entered Kangle County as official forces, while Fan Tai and Ding Ming entered Kangle County as illegal forces.

It doesn’t matter. He can take action in person later and the issue of Kangle County City should be resolved.

When Qiao Zijing saw this, he began to report other things.

The following contents are not very important, but also very important things.

Not very important, meaning not very important to Zheng Jun.

But for the entire Kangle County, it is still a shocking event.

It is still the same old problem, that is, the fertile land that has been reclaimed in the county should be redistributed so that it can be utilized as soon as possible to avoid problems.

The problem naturally did not come from the resistance from the gentry that Zheng Jun encountered in Pingzhang County, but from the invasion and threats from other bandits!

The other bandits who continued to infiltrate would naturally cause extensive damage to the undefended farmland.

Zheng Jun said, "I will send people to solve the problem of the bandits as soon as possible and resume production as soon as possible. Kangle has a flat terrain and is a major grain-producing county in Bozhou. The county cannot be without grain."

Seeing Zheng Jun say this, Qiao Zijing nodded and continued, "General, there is one more small matter. Two envoys came from the south, claiming to be from the 'Yuanlong Sect'. They said they wanted to open up something in Kangle County. As a token of respect, they gave you a demon pill."

"Yuanlong Sect?!"

Hearing this very familiar name, Zheng Jun suddenly raised his head and looked at Qiao Zijing, releasing all his inner energy, causing the corners of Qiao Zijing's clothes to rustle. He immediately said in a cold voice, "Tell me about this in detail!"

Qiao Zijing had never expected Zheng Jun to have such a big reaction. He was stunned for a moment, then bowed and began to tell the story in detail.

Actually, the problem was not big, it happened the night before yesterday.

Two envoys from the "Yuanlong Sect" came all the way from the south and came to the county to pay a visit to Qiao Zijing. They flattered him and praised him, and then bribed Qiao Zijing with gold, silver and jewelry.

Qiao Zijing naturally refused.

After all, if Zheng Jun knew about this, he, as the county magistrate in Miaoxin County, would be in big trouble.

Seeing that Qiao Zijing refused, the envoy of the Yuanlong Sect took out another demon pill of the outer Gang realm, saying that it was a gift to General Zheng, hoping that General Zheng would make it easier for him to proceed.

Qiao Zijing didn't know what the matter was, but seeing the other party's resolute attitude, he withheld the magic pill first and did not dare to agree rashly. He waited until Zheng Jun came out of seclusion not long before coming to report.

After hearing what Qiao Zijing said, Zheng Jun's face darkened.

The Yuanlong Sect is an organization that originated from the Central Plains.

A cult-like organization of traitors that cooperates with dragon species and dragon-type demons to help them soar into the sky.

In this sect, people are proud of being dragon-like and dragon-type demon slaves.

When Zheng Jun was in Changyang County, beheading that damn 'Lujiang Dragon King', four outer-level warriors from the Yuanlong Cult gathered around the old demon carp. One of them was said to have 'married' the old demon carp and became the so-called 'Lujiang Dragon King Consort'.

It really feels weird and absurd.

And now, the Yuanlong Sect has actually appeared in the Miaoxin County area.

They would never act alone, which means there must be dragons or dragon-type monsters nearby.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately became solemn.

In the past few days, Zheng Jun has been paying attention to the intelligence from the human race, such as the situation of Yang Li, the county magistrate of Changyang County, in gathering information and whether King Dayi Zhang Bengong has continued to increase his troops.

But we forget that besides humans, there are also demons in this world!
This time in Kangle County and Yanting County, there were millions of corpses and a thousand miles of barren land.

It is also time for some bold and reckless monsters to take advantage of this period to eat human flesh in the war-torn areas.

After all, to demons, the flesh and blood of humans is like the dragon liver and phoenix marrow from the sky, which is extremely delicious.

"Let the Black Mountain Cavalry assemble."

Zheng Jun uttered a few words slowly, and then his eyes turned cold, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and a chilling and murderous aura instantly spread around him: "Where did those people from the Yuanlong Sect go?"

Facing Zheng Jun's overwhelming momentum, Qiao Zijing dared not hide anything and immediately said, "He went west."

Zheng Jun asked, "Any other news from the towns west of Miaoxin County?"

Hearing Zheng Jun's question, Qiao Zijing smiled bitterly and said, "General, the bandits have destroyed the county town like this. In the past few days, it has taken a lot of effort to rebuild the county town. It is definitely not something that can be reorganized in a few days. At this moment, there are really few towns that can pass news to the county town."

Hearing this, Zheng Jun stopped asking questions and continued, "Give me the demon pill. You can handle all matters in Miaoxin County for the time being. I have some matters to attend to and need to lead the cavalry out of the city. I will be back within three days. Then you will come with me to Kangle County City to meet with County Magistrate Feng!"

Qiao Zijing quickly stretched out his hand and handed over a gray demon pill.

Zheng Jun waved his sleeves and put the gray demon pill into his sleeves. Then he picked up the Xue Shou Knife and walked out of the county government office.

The wind was whistling under my feet, which was quite powerful.

Since the Yuanlong Cult has appeared this time, there must be dragon-like and dragon-type demons appearing in the world.

I am still short of two of these evil beasts to pay off my debt.

It just so happens that I should slay this demon today to make up for my progress!

By the way, these beasts from the Yuanlong Sect were also killed.

The small loan borrowed from 'Yiri Liuguang' should also be repaid.

If you don't pay it back, it will delay your next loan application.
