Chapter 129: Subjugating Feng He, Internal and External Troubles

"Recruit soldiers and expand the three armies of Guoyi, Cangdao, and Kangle to 10,000 each. Expand my personal battalion to 5,000, for a total of 35,000 soldiers."

"Encouraging farming is the foundation for enriching the people! Therefore, the order was passed to the magistrate of Kangle County to measure the farmland in the eight counties of Baima, Judong, Miaoxin, Changle, Heishan, Pingyun, Rongyuan, and Zhiyuan. All men over 15 years old will be granted 20 acres of land, and women will be granted 10 acres. All soldiers who stay in Kangle County will be granted 50 acres of land and three cows. Blood-refining warriors in the army will be provided with three blood-enhancing pills every month; Qi-accumulating warriors will be provided with one Qi-storing pill; and external Qi-defying warriors will be provided with a pack of Qi-condensing powder every three months!"

"After measuring the land, all the remaining fields will be government land, and soldiers from each county will be stationed there."

"Establish a school, and all officials in Kangle County, whether they are minor officials or senior officials, should come from the school, and be evaluated based on their qualifications, and the best ones will be selected as officials."

"..."

At the Kangle County Magistrate's Office, Zheng Jun issued a new round of orders.

This order made Chen Jingzhong, Wang Tang and Xu Tianfang present at the scene look stern and look at each other in bewilderment.

Recruit 35,000 soldiers?
In Kangle County, the land is distributed evenly throughout the county?

Then we have to set up schools and hold imperial examinations with a different name?

And more importantly...

The four counties of Heishan, Pingyun, Rongyuan and Zhiyuan are counties of Pingzhang County. Our Kangle County only has six counties: Baima, Judong, Miaoxin, Changle, Jianyan and Guangling.

Among them, Jianyan and Guangling counties were too close to Yanting County and had been temporarily abandoned. After the people were relocated, they were established as wartime buffer zones.

Heishan is naturally under the general's control. After all, Heishan is the general's hometown, and the county magistrate is the general's brother-in-law. From top to bottom, they are all his own people.

What about the three counties of Pingyun, Rongyuan and Zhiyuan?
From the county magistrate to the officials in these three counties, none of them are our own people.

What would the governor of Pingzhang County, Tang, think if he rashly "annexed" it? Would it cause some trouble?
After all, Pingzhang County is a neighboring county in the rear. If anything goes wrong, the situation in Kangle County will be in danger.

Seeing several people looking at each other in bewilderment, Zheng Jun immediately asked, "Why, do you have any different opinions?"

"General."

Chen Jingzhong was the first to step forward and said to Zheng Jun, "Although the four counties of Heishan, Pingyun, Rongyuan, and Zhiyuan are on good terms with our army, they are under the jurisdiction of Pingzhang County. We do not have jurisdiction over Pingzhang County. Should we discuss this matter with the governor of Pingzhang County, Tang?"

"Mr. Tang and I are old friends."

Zheng Jun smiled slightly and said immediately: "This is a critical moment. We have to make decisions in an emergency. The enemy army is powerful. If we don't use this to motivate the soldiers, not only Kangle County, but also Pingzhang County will be destroyed. I believe that Lord Tang will understand."

"When the enemy troops retreat, I will go to Pingzhang in person and explain to Lord Tang."

Hearing Zheng Jun say this, Chen Jingzhong knew that this would not persuade him, and immediately said: "General, our army currently has about 6,700 soldiers, which are all the civilians in Kangle County. Among them, there are 68 Qi-accumulating warriors, 1,043 blood-refining warriors, and the remaining 5,000 are all ordinary civilians. They don't have enough Qi and blood, and they can't refine blood."

"If we recruit again now, I'm afraid we can only recruit 3,000 at most. If we want to gather 35,000 people, I'm afraid we have to recruit all the boy soldiers under the age of 16 and the old soldiers over the age of 16!"

Chen Jingzhong said in a deep voice: "The old soldiers are deaf and blind, and the children are cowardly. If they are sent to the army, it would be good for them to show their strength, but it would be difficult for them to defend the city. If they go out of the city to fight the enemy army, I am afraid they will collapse at the first touch, which will definitely be bad."

A large number of able-bodied civilians have already been conscripted. If we really want to gather the 35,000 soldiers, we can only recruit children under the age of 15 and men over the age of 60.

Zheng Jun couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard this.

There were tens of thousands of refugees, most of whom were the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Young men have been drafted into the army.

There was no other way. After all, the original strong men in the refugee areas had long been conscripted into Zhang Bengong's army, which was why Zhang Bengong had an army of hundreds of thousands.

As for the people of Kangle County, many of them have actually fled to other counties in Bozhou.

Those who did not have time to escape were slaughtered by the two bandits Fan Tai and Ding Ming, and some were incorporated into the refugees.

Now Zheng Jun can expand to a population of 10,000, which makes it a populous county.

"This Zhang Ben Gong is really a bad thing!"

Zheng Jun sighed deeply, his face looking angry.

Young and healthy laborers can play a big role, whether they are working in the fields, joining the army, or doing other jobs.

Now they have all been taken away by Zhang Bengong, and most of them have become cannon fodder.

Isn't this a waste of labor? !

There is no surplus of labor here at Zheng Jun, and labor is urgently needed!

"Then we should mainly recruit soldiers from Pingzhang County."

Zheng Jun took a deep breath and said, "When recruiting soldiers, you can advertise that those who join the army can learn the secret martial arts of Canghai School and Xiaojian Villa."

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the Canghai School. After Xiaojian Villa was destroyed by the Dragon King's grandson, the Unicorn Dragon, the martial arts secrets were naturally not taken away. After Zheng Jun killed the Unicorn Dragon and sorted out the affairs of the county, he sent people to bring back all the assets and secrets of Xiaojian Villa.

Zheng Jun also looked at the secret books of Xiaojian Villa, which contained many top-grade martial arts, mainly swordsmanship and body movements.

If it were in the past, Zheng Jun might have been ecstatic.

But now, some people look down on it.

In this way, it was developed in the army and became military training.

Of course, it is impossible for anyone to learn high-quality martial arts. If so, some people might desert after learning it, which would be bad.

Therefore, some martial arts can only be learned through military service or participation in battles.

The Cang Dao Army led by Xu Tianfang mainly practices Cang Hai School martial arts.

The Guoyi Army led by Chen Jingzhong mainly relies on the martial arts of Xiaojian Villa.

As for the Kangle County soldiers in Wang Tang, it’s up to you, you can replace whatever you want.

Zheng Jun did not have high expectations for these experienced soldiers from Kangle County. As long as they could defend the city, it would be enough. His real core would still have to be the Cangdao Army that followed him from the four counties of Pingzhang and the Guoyi Army that he recruited from the refugees.

"promise."

Chen Jingzhong bowed and said yes, then turned around and sat down.

Zheng Jun looked at the three people present and felt a headache again.

Under Zhang Bengong's command, there are more than thirty people outside the headquarters.

In addition, Ma Hong (pseudonym of Sima Qing) and Zhang Bu's troops each had dozens of external troops.

All together, there are probably sixty or seventy people.

As for our side, including myself, there are only six of us, and including Cai Xun, there are only seven.

Chen Jingzhong, Wang Tang and Xu Tianfang in front of him.

Lying on the sickbed, the seriously injured surrendered general Zhao Zhe.

Qiao Zijing, the magistrate of Miaoxin County, and Cai Xun, the magistrate of Heishan County.

With this configuration, it would be difficult to support even a county, let alone a prefecture.

In every county of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were at least two Wai Gangs.

That is, the county magistrate and the general flag of the pacification office.

If it is a large county or an important military location, the county lieutenant should also be an outer Gang.

In the counties of the Great Zhou, the county governor is at the peak of Wai Gang - the initial stage of Tongqiao. The assistant officers, the chief secretary, the county lieutenant, and the inspector should all be Wai Gang. In most cases, the six captains of the county soldiers are also Wai Gang warriors.

The silver seals of the Hundred Households of the Pacification Division and the Six-Shan Gates.

There are two more.

Therefore, Kangle County should have at least 25 outer-level warriors.

This does not include the results of civilian warriors.

On my side, I barely have a quarter. If Cai Xun is not counted, it's less than a quarter.

"trouble."

Zheng Jun took a deep breath and suddenly thought of something: "Where are the people from the Pacification Office? Why haven't we seen any imperial guards or general flags in such a long time?"

"General."

Wang Tang bowed awkwardly and said, "Captain Qi of the Pacification Division and Zhao Yinzhang of the Six Gates had already left before Zhang Bengong attacked and went to Bozhou to meet up with Captain Yuan and Zhang Jinzhang of Bozhou."

"When the enemy army attacks, don't the Zhenfusi and Liushenmen have the responsibility to defend the territory?"

Zheng Jun snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and couldn't help feeling a headache.

But even so, we can only take one step at a time and see how it goes.

now,

There is a shortage of young and strong people at home, so the army cannot be expanded.

There is a righteous army facing us that is aggressive and may attack at any time.

This is really a combination of internal and external troubles.

Zheng Jun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The two decrees on equal distribution of land and school housing should be promulgated as usual. Continue to investigate the news on the front line. If you find out the enemy's movements, report it in time."

"Yes!"

Chen Jingzhong nodded in agreement.

After all, he is still responsible for this matter.

After all, he knew quite a bit about Nanchu's spy network.

Zheng Jun looked at Chen Jingzhong, and after a moment of silence, he said to Chen Jingzhong: "Jingzhong, if you have any friends, you can recommend them to work in our army."

Too short of manpower.

The support from the Cai family is still on the way, but even if the support arrives, Zheng Jun feels that the Cai family doesn’t care much about him anymore.

the reason is simple.

The message brought by Cai Xun.

When the emperor passed away, the ancestor of the Cai family went to welcome the new emperor.

The prince ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor.

The prince's name is Li Ji, he is now 376 years old and he cultivated the Yuandan a hundred years ago.

According to the lifespan of Yuandan Martial Saint, the prince still has nearly 200 years to live.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also extremely cautious.

After receiving the secret report and learning that the emperor had passed away, he made a prompt decision to abandon the capital and led the prince's personal troops southward to the emperor's army. He directly took control of the two most elite forces of the empire and proclaimed himself emperor in the army.

Then he led his troops north and returned to the imperial capital.

With such abilities, he deserves to be the crown prince.

And now, the world may be in turmoil.

But the second emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Ji, had a righteous cause. The Li royal family had ten Yuandan Martial Saints, and there were probably two or three more Loyal Martial Saints.

In this way, it is still the most powerful force in the world.

Judging from the strength on paper, if the new emperor could promise the Cai family greater benefits, they would naturally treat him like a worn-out shoe.

The Cai family can be relied upon, but not completely.

I still have to look for new investors outside the Cai family.

In this case, only Nan Chu, which has a deep hatred for the Great Zhou court, can make him shine.

They have been lurking for so many years, so they should have trained a lot of talents, right?

Zheng Jun thought in his heart.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Chen Jingzhong was startled, but he quickly reacted and bowed to Zheng Jun, saying, "General, I do have a few friends, but I still need to ask for their opinions..."

"Ask as much as you want."

Zheng Jun looked pleasant, then he looked at Xu Tianfang and Wang Tang and said, "You all leave and implement the three policies of equal distribution of land, recruitment of soldiers, and school buildings. Don't make any mistakes."

"Yes!"

The three generals took the order and left.

After Zheng Jun issued this new decree, he immediately let out a breath, then turned around and prepared to practice.

No matter what the government decrees, one's own cultivation is the basis that determines everything.

Even if he managed Kangle County in an orderly manner, if his cultivation was not sufficient, he would only be a help to others.

The prince ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor.

In this way, the world should not collapse immediately.

You should be able to hold on for a while and give yourself some extra time.

The only question is what the new emperor's eight brothers will think.

The King of Yan had an army of 300,000 in Yunzhou, the King of Wei and the King of Han were in the Central Plains, and the King of Qi also had 150,000 troops in Qingzhou, and was on good terms with the Duke of Guo.

Not to mention the King of Chu who was flirting with the aristocratic families in the south.

As for the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Zhao, they were no ordinary people either.

Not to mention, there is another one who is not among the nine sons. He is the son of Emperor Shenwu’s younger brother, the King of Yue who is in the Yuandan realm.

They are all princes, all of them are royal nobles, and many of them have their own troops...

"Something's bound to happen."

Zheng Jun thought in his heart.

This is true for both the new emperor and these princes.

Wouldn’t the new emperor feel like a thorn in his side?
These large families with different surnames can be won over.

But these brothers from the same clan are truly qualified to be emperors.

After the three generals left, Zheng Jun first went to see Wei Quan practicing boxing, which was considered a daily check-in.

When Wei Quan saw Zheng Jun coming to watch him practice boxing, he was not surprised and even took the initiative to ask Zheng Jun some questions.

Although Zheng Jun was young, he had a lot of martial arts books and was well versed in martial arts. He was able to give some advice on the basics of martial arts, and after a few simple pointers, Wei Quan benefited a lot.

In addition, he also inspected the military camps many times to increase his presence.

After strolling around like this, Zheng Jun didn't return home until nightfall.

Fortunately, the Wai Gang warriors can automatically practice their skills at all times to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Otherwise, if they continue to do this every day, Zheng Jun will not have much time to practice.

After Zheng Jun returned to the county magistrate's mansion, he had dinner and went to his room to prepare for his practice.

Seeing that Cai Anyun had been practicing meticulously in the training room in advance, Zheng Jun was not in a hurry. After chatting with Qingdai for a few words, he waited for Cai Anyun to come out.

When Cai Anyun came out of retreat, she saw Zheng Jun waiting for her in front of the training room. She was immediately delighted and stood up. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zheng Jun saying, "I heard that you kicked my third brother out of the house. What happened?"

"Third brother's words were rude, so I naturally have to reprimand him on behalf of my husband."

Upon hearing this, Cai Anyun frowned and repeated Cai Xun's words, then continued, "My third brother is really too much! My second brother knew about my wedding and said he would send someone to send me a gift."

The second child of the Cai family, Cai Kai, is born to the same mother as Cai Anyun, so he is naturally closer to his half-brother Cai Xun.

Cai Kai practiced in the holy land of Qitianfu in Qingzhou, and the place where Qitianfu was located was called Qianyuan Mountain.

The current lord of Qitian Prefecture is Wei Bohu, Duke of Guo of Dazhou, who quelled the rebellion at Tianwang Mountain and made great contributions to the country.

Cai Kai, the second brother of the Cai family, is Wei Bohu's seventeenth disciple, and he practices with Wei Bohu.

Now he has reached the peak of outer power, he is truly a young talent.

In addition, Cai Mao, the eldest brother of the Cai family, was in the center of the imperial capital and served as a close minister to the emperor.

His cultivation level is a little low, only the second level of outer power.

But his status is equivalent to that of the Cai family's hostage beside the emperor and the future head of the family.

Zheng Jun thought to himself as he spoke, "Second brother, you have worked hard. It's a pity that I have an important position, otherwise I would definitely take you to Qingzhou to visit my uncle."

Hearing this, Cai Anyun couldn't help but smile, and then continued in a delicate voice: "I have mentioned you to my second brother, and he said he would give you some treasures from Qitian Mansion."

Of course, there is also a threatening sentence at the end of the letter.

It was just something like, if you treat your sister badly, I will go to Qingzhou and beat Zheng Jun up.

But Cai Anyun felt that there was no need to say this.

"baby!"

Zheng Jun's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly, saying, "In that case, I will also send people to find some specialties from Kangle and Pingzhang and send them to my uncle so that he can reminisce the taste of his hometown."

In fact, the only people in the Cai family who are truly worthy of serious attention are the ancestor of the Cai family, the father-in-law and the head of the family, as well as the second son Cai Kai and the third son Cai Xun.

Since Cai Xun has no foundation, he can only invest everything in himself and is his own man.

As for the second young master Cai Kai, it was naturally because of An Yun.

Brothers and sisters are naturally closer than the eldest brother or fourth brother, and are more able to help with one's career.

This is the real brother-in-law, the rest are fake.

The Cai family is wealthy and powerful, so who knows what kind of palace drama may be going on in the backyard of the head of the Cai family.

"Ah."

Cai Anyun nodded slightly, then said awkwardly: "In that case, what about what my third brother said..."

"Ok?"

Zheng Jun couldn't help but feel a surge of anger when he heard this, but he soon calmed down and chuckled, "Wait until I finish my practice. It will take two hours."

No matter who comes, no one can disturb my two hours of practice every day!

Hearing Zheng Jun say this, Cai Anyun was slightly disappointed, but still nodded obediently, and then said softly: "Then I'll wait for you in the room."

"it is good."

Zheng Jun responded, then went into the training room and sat down cross-legged.

Zheng Jun sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. His breathing gradually became deep and rhythmic, and he slowly began to gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathered towards Zheng Jun, like countless tiny silk threads, entwined around him and slowly flowed into his body.

Zheng Jun's meridians seemed to be activated, his internal strength quietly grew stronger in his dantian, and a warm and powerful force flowed through his body.

Soon, after two hours of practice, Zheng Jun stood up, feeling refreshed, and walked into the room.

……

For five consecutive days, Zheng Jun was managing the quagmire of Kangle County.

It is really difficult to be invaded by bandits.

Although everything in Kangle County remained the same and was not affected by the bandits.

But the six subordinate counties and refugees were enough to keep Zheng Jun busy.

In addition, Zheng Jun's scout was also gathering information.

When he heard that Yan Ting County City was conquered by Zhang Bengong and that General Yan was seriously injured and taken away, with his life or death unknown, although Zheng Jun remained calm, his heart sank and he almost issued a military order to go to Pingzhang.

However, when Zheng Jun learned that Sima Qing had turned against him and stabbed Zhang Bengong in the back, and that an elite cavalry unit from the Su and Xuan border armies had arrived, causing Zhang Bengong to return to fight, he almost laughed out loud and said that everything was still the same.

This really gives them enough time to develop.

In the county governor's mansion, Zheng Jun was in high spirits, sitting upright in the hall, looking at Chen Jingzhong who was coming to pay his respects not far away, and asked, "Jingzhong, what are you doing here?"

"General."

Chen Jingzhong whispered, "According to the spies, Yanting County has assembled a large army of bandits, flying the banners of Zuo and Liu. They are the troops of Zuo Pin and Liu Yan under Zhang Bengong. There are a total of 14 outer-level generals, claiming to have an army of 50,000. They are preparing to march towards Kangle County."

Hearing this, Zheng Jun was stunned.

With so many people around, news of such a large number of personnel transfers would naturally spread quickly.

Hearing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but sneer and said, "50,000 troops? Haha, Zhang Bengong would send out so many troops? You're kidding a fool."

"General, please understand that this 50,000-man army is purely fictitious. According to reliable information I have gathered, the actual number of people mobilized is about 13,000."

Chen Jingzhong said seriously, "Among these fourteen generals, they are all ordinary people, not Zhang's direct subordinates. Most of them are surrendered generals from the imperial court, and most of these soldiers are surrendered soldiers from the imperial court... However, there are 1,500 cavalrymen from Xidi. The leader of these cavalrymen is a barbarian general named Yi Hengzhi, who is worthy of attention."

"The Sidi cavalry."

Zheng Jun nodded and sneered: "I haven't seen the Xidi people yet, so I don't know how many blows this Yi Hengzhi can withstand from me?"

The name is very exotic, but Zheng Jun is only interested in exotic beauties.

Zheng Jun has only one attitude towards this kind of barbarian general.

Behead them, or screen them and keep them as dogs.

There is no treat option.

Zheng Jun asked again: "Where are the military supervisor and the captain?"

"Military Supervisor Feng He has reached Miaoxin and will arrive this afternoon."

Chen Jingzhong said: "As for Captain Yuan, there has been no news."

The people in the Pacification Office have a lot to do.

Zheng Jun shook his head and said nonchalantly, "In that case, let's host a banquet for this Military Supervisor Feng at the County Magistrate's Mansion."

After saying that, Zheng Jun suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "By the way, Jingzhong, what do your 'friends' think of the things I mentioned a few days ago?"

Hearing this, Chen Jingzhong stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said to Zheng Jun: "General, the regent went to the south and has not been heard from in the past few days. I don't know what happened to him... Maybe something big happened."

"Jingzhong, you are also a descendant of the princes of Great Chu, and your surname is also Chen. Since the regent is not here, aren't you responsible for everything here? Don't you want to restore Great Chu?"

Zheng Jun also lowered his voice, and at the same time used his true energy to shield himself from the surroundings, and whispered: "The regent is old, and the old man is timid and dares not act rashly. The real ability depends on us young people! Let all our brothers and sisters from the Broken Jade Sect come!"

"Once I have taken control of the three counties of Yanting, Kangle, and Pingzhang, Shattered Jade Sect will be able to recruit disciples openly, and the banner of Great Chu will be able to fly again!"

Zheng Jun's voice was full of temptation.

Dachu?

It can be established. It can be established.

If the time is right and the remnants of Southern Chu can provide enough support, then he can establish a Chu State.

Although it is a little difficult to establish the State of Chu in the north, the benefits are great enough that anything can be done.

As for the King of Chu or the Emperor of Great Chu?
You have already rebuilt the Great Chu, why do you still want to be the emperor?

Too greedy, wanting all good things.

When the time comes, I will transfer the throne to myself in the form of "the rise of the great Chu, King Jun of Zheng".

Then, this warrior who has not needed sleep for twelve hours will suddenly fall asleep one night, and sleep so soundly that he won’t even know when someone puts a piece of clothing on him...

Of course, if Nanchu’s support is too strong and cannot be moved for a while.

Then Zheng Jun could also establish a "small emperor of Chu", and then he himself would be granted the same status as the three officials, hold the yellow axe, be in charge of all the ministers, enter the palace with a sword and shoes, praise or worship without using his name, be granted the nine gifts, and be ranked above the princes. He would not need to call himself a subject when reporting matters, and would not need to bow when receiving an imperial edict. He would offer sacrifices to heaven and earth with the emperor's tassels, crown, chariot, clothes, banners, rites and music, and could be called a guard when going in and out.

Then they would find an auspicious day and ask this "Little Emperor of Chu" to decline the throne three times and finally abdicate.

If the support from the remnants of Southern Chu is not enough, then the Great Chu should just go away.

Uh, it seems like it’s time for fantasy.

How did he fool Chen Jingzhong and end up fooling himself?

After hearing this, Chen Jingzhong hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Here, our Great Chu does have four other brothers. One of them is lurking under Zhang Bengong, and another is in the Pacification Department. You should know him... In addition, there is one in Guangyi County and one in Bozhou. They all have their own duties and cannot come to help you."

Zheng Jun said: "What about the Qi-accumulating warriors? I also need a Qi-accumulating warrior."

Chen Jingzhong replied: "There are quite a few, scattered around the world, and many of them are quite famous."

"That's better."

Zheng Jun smiled and said, "In that case, please ask these brothers to encourage people in the martial arts world to join the army and make contributions."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingzhong nodded immediately to show that he understood.

Afterwards, Zheng Jun took a deep breath and said, "Jingzhong, when the mission is accomplished in the future, you will have made a great contribution!"

"It's all thanks to the general."

Chen Jingzhong bowed.

"In that case, let's prepare to welcome this military supervisor Feng who has been critical of me in Bozhou City."

……

Outside the city of Kangle County, Feng He rode his horse slowly forward. He felt unsure and his face looked rather gloomy.

Beside him, there were a hundred black-armored warriors, silently "guarding" him in the center, motionless.

Feng He was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do.

The black-armored warriors around him were sent by the Cai family when he set out from Bozhou, saying that they were to "escort" him to Kangle County.

Each of these black-armored warriors only has the strength of the peak of Blood Refining, and the leading black-armored general is only at the first level of Outer Gang.

But as they marched together, there was an indescribable murderous aura in them. They all obeyed orders and exercised control in moderation. It was obvious at a glance that these were the Cai family's secret assassins.

The death squad can naturally form a formation and kill the enemy.

Although he is at the peak of outer power.

But he hasn't fought with anyone for many years. This peak of outer Gang may look like outer Gang, but in fact, for Feng He, it is just a stepping stone. In a fight, he is far inferior to those who are truly at the peak of outer Gang. At best, he is similar to a warrior who has just entered the third level of outer Gang.

Hiring assassins secretly, this is what all the noble families do, and everyone knows it tacitly, but there is one thing: they have to 'raise assassins secretly' and cannot do it openly.

Now, he doesn’t even avoid people!

What is this going to do?
Is this sending yourself off, or sending yourself off?

Anyway, Feng He was already feeling uneasy along the way and couldn't sleep well, although he didn't sleep much before.

Just like that, Feng He arrived at the foot of Kangle County. Looking at the weathered city walls with the sound of war drums, Feng He felt an inexplicable sense of desolation in his heart, and silently said, "Is this the place where I, Feng He, will be buried?"

At this moment, a young and powerful general appeared in the city. He bowed to Feng He and said, "General Feng, I am Wei Quan, the captain of the personal guard battalion under General Zheng. The general specially asked me to bring you to the county governor's mansion to pay you a visit."

"Let me go and meet General Zheng?"

Feng He was stunned when he heard this.

He is the military supervisor!
The military supervisor has always been at the same level as the army's commander.

Throughout the dynasties, when a military inspector took office, it would be unreasonable for the commander-in-chief not to come and let other generals to welcome him.

Besides, the one who was greeting him was not a general from the outer Gang, but just a small Qi-accumulating leader!

Moreover, this chieftain also told him to go and "pay a visit" to General Zheng?!
This Heishan Zheng Sanlang is too arrogant!
Feng He's face turned gloomy in an instant.

Seeing Feng He like this, Wei Quan showed no fear at all and continued, "If General Feng does not want to see the general, I will go back and report to the general. If the general gets angry, please take care of yourself, General Feng."

After saying that, Wei Quan turned around and was about to leave.

The black-armored warrior on the side just watched indifferently.

As for the soldiers guarding the city around them, their expressions all turned unfriendly.

Seeing this, Feng He took a deep breath and said, "General Zheng has something else and cannot come. I understand. In that case, please lead the way."

Wei Quan did not argue with Feng He or correct this behavior of saving face, but just took Feng He into the county magistrate's mansion.

As soon as he arrived outside the county magistrate's mansion, Feng He took a deep breath, adjusted his internal energy, and then stepped into the mansion resolutely.

As a military supervisor appointed by the imperial court, Zheng Jun naturally cannot kill himself!
Otherwise, how could he face the court?

Today, Zheng Jun wanted to show his power to me, so I had to fight back and tell him that I was an impartial military supervisor!

With this thought in mind, Feng He stepped into the mansion with his powerful true energy.

But as soon as he entered the mansion, he suddenly sensed a murderous atmosphere!
Looking up, he saw a young general with a figure as straight as a pine tree and sleeves fluttering in the wind. He was standing in the courtyard of the mansion with a sword on his shoulder and looking at him.

Zheng Jun's gaze was indifferent and profound, like an ancient well with no bottom, making it hard to fathom. After seeing Feng He, Zheng Jun just smiled faintly and walked forward: "General Feng is here, I have been waiting for a long time."

Zheng Jun's steps were steady, as if every step was stepping on Feng He's heart, making the tense atmosphere in the air even more solemn.

"I heard that a few days ago, the military supervisor had advised several times in Bozhou to execute Zheng. Is this true?!"

Along with Zheng Jun's casual words, the true energy that had been brewing suddenly erupted, like thousands of troops galloping out, with such momentum that the courtyard seemed to tremble.

The true energy is like a dragon, rushing straight into the sky with infinite power, and its momentum is soaring that it seems to tear the sky apart!

Feng He only felt a flash before his eyes, and this invisible sense of oppression made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He was so terrified that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Is this an external force? !
How could this be an external force?
In this solemn and murderous atmosphere, Feng He's momentum gradually weakened. The determination in his heart seemed to be seen through by Zheng Jun at a glance. The belief that he had built up quietly vanished at this moment.

With shaking hands, he said to Zheng Jun in a trembling voice, "General Zheng is truly a rare talent. There are... some misunderstandings here."

"Mr. Feng has never, ever, ever..."

Sweat was dripping from his forehead like beans. For a moment, Feng He didn't know what to say.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Jun was a little disappointed.

Can this be considered as the peak of outer power?
The outer Gang peak, who had never experienced the battle, was indeed weak!
If all the outer guards of the imperial court were of this level, it was no wonder that Zhang Ben was able to command great powers.

[The military supervisor was shocked and Feng He was subdued. The repayment progress of 'Smashing Jade Skill' increased by +103. The current repayment progress is: 3455/20000. ]

Seeing the small ink characters flashing in front of him, Zheng Jun retracted his Zhen Qi, looked at Feng He who was already sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Since it is a misunderstanding, General Feng, please take a seat."

"Kangle County is in a state of disrepair and urgently needs talents like General Feng!"
