Loan Wusheng

Chapter 81: Capture three strongholds today and kill them so hard that they dare not come down the mountain to plunder!
We can't just surrender!

Li Bao's hair stood on end. He stepped forward and turned his body. A burst of true energy began to appear around him. His arms shook like a sieve and his spear turned into a red spear light in an attempt to resist.

"die!"

The knife light easily tore through the red spear light, like a dragon swallowing and spitting out the red fish and shrimp into its stomach.

Li Bao's body trembled violently. Under the powerful and unstoppable blade, his entire body was shattered into pieces. His limbs and bones flew everywhere, making the thin snow around him seem to be dotted with a few plum blossoms.

The way Li Bao died didn't look like he was hacked to death by a knife.

[Walk on the waves and cut the enemy with one sword. The repayment progress of the Wave-Walking Sword Skill is +78, and the current repayment progress is: 132/10000. ]

Zheng Jun put away his sword and exhaled a puff of mist, quickly replenishing the true energy he had just consumed.

This knife seems ordinary.

But it caused Zheng Jun to lose a lot of his true energy.

After all, he is a martial artist who accumulates energy. If he wants to kill him with one blow, he will inevitably consume a lot of true energy.

However, the small ink characters that appeared in front of him made Zheng Jun very disappointed.

A warrior who accumulates energy only increased his progress by 78 points.

This progress is still a bit too difficult.

Ten thousand points! Do I have to kill a hundred Qi-accumulating warriors?
Zheng Jun felt very uncomfortable.

Li Bao's body was scattered all over the ground. The younger brothers around him were silent, with shock on their faces.

One of the brothers even rubbed his eyes, feeling very unbelievable about the scene happening in front of him, and suspected that he was hallucinating.

Brother, dead?
Just like that, he was hacked to death with one knife?
The younger brothers opened their mouths as if they were going to say something, but no words came out.

"And you."

Zheng Jun looked at the blood-refining brothers around him. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Even if they make a fool of him, it can still increase a lot of repayment points for him.

"Brothers, fight him!"

The second in command roared, and the younger brothers on the hillside suddenly woke up from their dreams. Looking at Zheng Jun who was full of murderous intent, they were a little hesitant for a moment.

Did you fight him?
Forget it, Second in Command, let’s run.

He is only one person, can he kill us all?
"kill!"

The second in command had lost all his rationality and rushed towards Zheng Jun with a gun.

His name is Li Geng, and he is Li Bao's biological brother!

This is what we call a deep brotherly love.

"Humph!"

Zheng Jun snorted coldly, and rolled the Beirong sword in his hand. A loud bang like spring thunder instantly struck, and the sword light flashed like the roar of a tiger and a dragon.

Step forward and draw your sword!

"Qiang!"

The sword light suddenly appeared, like a dragon emerging from the sea. In the turbulent wind and rain, it was like the surging waves of a river. Several swords were slashed out, and the sword light turned into ten, and ten turned into a hundred. In just a moment, this place had turned into a sea of sword light and blood!
"Ahhh!"

"Run away! This person cannot possibly be gathering Qi. This person must be an Outer Qi warrior!"

"..."

The brilliant sword light flashed like a sky full of stars, and along with the flashing sword light, bursts of shrill screams were heard all around.

After just a few breaths, the sword light that was like the surging waves disappeared, and what appeared was a waterfall of blood and flesh spraying across the mountains.

Along with the falling snow, there was also bloody rain.

Red and white meet here.

Blood rain splashed on the ground, and Zheng Jun's black clothes fluttered. Invisible true energy attached to his body, preventing the splashing blood from getting close. The air waves spread, and the surrounding snow was slowly melted away, turning into a mixture of snow water and blood, flowing down.

Looking around again, apart from the five captured hostages, there were only three or two bandits who were lucky enough not to be killed by Zheng Jun but were already paralyzed by fear.

[Tigers roar and dragons roar, swords flash like rain. The repayment progress of the Treading Waves Sword Skill is +25, and the current repayment progress is: 157/10000. ]

"My hero, please spare my life, my hero, please spare your life."

One of the bandits was quite clever. He turned over and kowtowed to Zheng Jun repeatedly, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

The five captured hostages were stunned and their faces were pale.

It seemed that he had never seen such a horrific scene before.

"I am Zheng Jun of the Black Mountain Guard. I came to the mountain to eliminate the banditry."

Zheng Jun looked indifferent, sheathed his sword, and said in a cold voice: "Do you know the location of other villages around?"

"No, I don't know."

The very clever bandit trembled and said shiveringly.

After hearing the word "I don't know", Zheng Jun's eyes fixed, and the Beirong sword at his waist was unsheathed. With a flash of light, a huge human head fell to the ground in an instant.

This time, Zheng Jun did not continue to sheath his sword, but looked at the other two bandits: "Where are you two?"

Looking at the blood-dripping Beirong sword, a bandit was terrified and shouted, "I know where Song Laosan's bandit lair is!"

"very good."

Zheng Jun nodded, slashed the other silent bandit with his backhand, and then said, "Take me there."

Song Lao San, whose real name is Song Shi, is a martial artist at the peak of blood refining, and has one foot halfway into qi accumulation.

He is also the chief of one of the 19 villages in Black Mountain.

Better than nothing.

"Young...young hero."

At this moment, a clear voice sounded. Zheng Jun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with a stiff face and trembling hands under a pine tree. She called Zheng Jun and bowed to him. She introduced him, "I am Sun Qiwei, and this is my second brother Sun Qizhen. Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget your kindness!"

"Ah."

Zheng Jun nodded slightly: "What's the matter?"

If Miss Sun hadn't called him, Zheng Jun would have really forgotten about her.

After all, this Miss Sun and her three maids had no martial arts skills and were just ordinary people. And that Sun Qizhen was a blood cultivator, but his muscles and bones were locked and his aura was not obvious.

Zheng Jun simply ignored the five of them.

"Qi Wei thanks you for saving my life. Although my life is not in danger, it is cold here and I am unfamiliar with the place. I wonder if you can... take us to the nearest county town."

Sun Qiwei first glanced at her second brother, but saw that he was already in a panic and couldn't say a word, so she could only grit her teeth and took the initiative to say: "Although my Sun family was robbed by these bandits, my uncle is the head of the Jishitang in Bozhou. I will give him the magic medicine to repay you for saving my life."

After hearing what Sun Qiwei said, Zheng Jun nodded.

He had heard of Jishidiang.

It is known as one of the three major halls in northern Xinjiang along with Caiwei Hall and Kangsheng Hall.

The main business is alchemy and medicine making, such as Yixue Pills and Zangqi Pills, which are classic projects of the three major halls.

"Just follow me."

Zheng Jun nodded, gave them an order, then looked at the bandit who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said, "Let's go to that place, Zhang Kang's village. Do you know the way?"

"Know the way, know the way."

The bandit was shaking like a sieve.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but be a little surprised. While asking, "What other villages do you know?", he took the five "hostages" back to the camp.

The Black Mountain Guards' personal soldiers are still stationed in the village.

But later, I can move the things here back.

Not long after, Zheng Jun brought the five "hostages" back to Zhang Kang's camp. Zheng Jun just casually told Du Ding to find some food for the five of them, and then took the bandit to another bandit's lair.

Just do it casually and see what kind of panacea you can get.

Even if it's a little bit off, is it okay for me to give myself a discount through the purchasing channel in the future?

With this thought in mind, Zheng Jun continued to move forward.

……

The convoy went up the mountain in a huge procession.

Cai Xun was in charge of the first car, and he directly released his outer power without any concealment, in order to intimidate the villains around him.

Next to Cai Xun was Zhou Pu, the somewhat reserved leader of the Zhuang squad.

Sitting next to the county lieutenant, the honest Zhou Pu was naturally a little reserved, and even spoke nervously.

"Brother Zhou."

Cai Xun greeted Zhou Pu very kindly and chatted with him, "There are many vacancies in Heishan County recently. Are you interested in being promoted to become a ninth-rank county official in our Great Zhou and be a Dianshi?"

After hearing what Cai Xun said, Zhou Pu was naturally moved.

After all, who doesn't want to be promoted? But he hesitated and refused Cai Xun, saying, "Sir, County Lieutenant, I am a rough man with no skills or merits. Now that I can become the leader of the strong squad, I am already very proud. I dare not expect more."

He was well aware that he had accomplished nothing.

The county lieutenant's action was entirely to show his goodwill to his brother-in-law, Zheng Jun Zheng Sanlang.

In Zhou Pu's opinion, his brother-in-law is doing great things and he cannot fall behind.

He is soft on people, but short on mouth when eating people.

What if Sanlang doesn't want to have too much entanglement with this county lieutenant?

"Brother Zhou, don't worry about the merits."

Cai Xun smiled slightly and didn't care at all.

Running a county magistrate is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But isn't it easy to operate a Dianshi?
Credit?

Zhou Pu Zhou Bantou bravely took the lead and when suppressing the bandits, he led the militia to transport supplies as soon as possible and rescued countless treasures for our Great Zhou. His contribution was great!
The Dianshi have always been local people.

The only ones who could compete with Zhou Pu for the position of Dianshi were Sun Bantou of the fast class and Bai Bantou of the soap class.

But the power to decide the final ownership still lies with the county magistrate and county lieutenant.

So, it’s still very simple.

However, after hearing what Cai Xun said, Zhou Pu felt a little embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and still wanted to refuse.

"Brother Zhou, there's no need to do this. Let's talk about it after we meet Sanlang later."

Cai Xun smiled slightly, his face kind: "Who knows, our two families may become relatives in the future."

Zhou Pu bowed and said yes.

Soon, the convoy, led by the county soldiers, went up the mountain and arrived at the mountain village.

At this time, it was noon, the snow had stopped, and the wheels were slipping a little.

"Lord County Captain!"

Generals Du Ding and Xu Zhilei were also surprised to see Cai Xun coming in person. They hurried forward to greet Cai Xun and were helped up by Cai Xun with a smile. At the same time, they looked around and asked, "Where is my brother Zheng Jun?"

"Reporting to the county lieutenant, the captain...he said he went out to practice with his sword."

Du Ding hesitated for a moment and reported: "Last night, the captain went out and picked up the flying bandit. He just informed us and brought back the young lady and young master of the Sun family in Huayang County who were kidnapped by the flying bandit. He went out again just now and said he was going to find another gang of bandits, 'Song Shi'."

After hearing Du Ding's words, Cai Xun was stunned for a moment.

Some couldn't believe their ears.

"what?"

Cai Xun scratched his ears and repeated, "Go into the bandit's lair alone and kill them all?"

"Yes."

Du Ding nodded: "The heads of Zhang Kang and Li Bao are here. Both of them are wanted criminals in the county. The former will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver, the latter with 250 taels of silver... and Song Shi, Song Shi will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver."

After saying that, Du Ding pointed to a pile of heads that formed a Jingguan. The two heads on the top were the heads of the two thieves Zhang Kang and Li Bao.

Seeing this scene, Cai Xun was a little confused for a moment, thinking in his heart: "Zheng Sanlang, could it be that he really has the outer power? Otherwise, how could he be so wantonly on the Black Mountain?"

He had been in office for less than three months.

Do I have to witness with my own eyes Zheng Sanlang's triple jump from refining blood to accumulating qi, and then from accumulating qi to external qi?
He lived for more than thirty years, and finally, with the initiation of his old father, along with the help of miraculous skills and precious fruits, he became an outer Gang warrior.

If it only took Zheng Jun three months to become an outer Gang, Cai Xun felt that he should find a place to smash his head and die.

Just when Cai Xun was feeling very embarrassed, he suddenly saw a county soldier shouting, "The captain is back!"

"call!"

After hearing the word "Du Tou", all the county soldiers around cheered and jumped for joy, like a landslide, which lasted for a long time.

'Zheng Sanlang's power in the Black Mountain Guard has reached such a level!'

Cai Xun was shocked and thought to himself.

It is hard to say that I am not envious.

After all, which man doesn't have the idea of "commanding all the troops in the world and being the bravest among the three armies"?

After putting away his distracting thoughts, Cai Xun looked outside and saw Zheng Jun dressed in black without armor. His Beirong sword was already sheathed, but he was dragging a human head in his left hand. He walked calmly back to the village gate in the wind and snow.

Seeing the county soldiers cheering, Zheng Jun just raised his hand.

Seeing Zheng Jun raising his hand, all the cheers stopped abruptly at that moment, as if the pause button was pressed.

"This is Song Shi's head."

Zheng Jun casually threw down the head he was holding in his left hand and said casually, "In Songshi Village, eighty-nine bandits are all dead."

"There are granaries and silver vaults in Songshi Village. After taking the silver from here and from Feitian Bandits, we will go to Songshi Village again and continue to take more money!"

After giving the order, Zheng Jun walked over casually. Seeing Cai Xun was also present, he immediately stepped forward and bowed to Cai Xun and Zhou Pu, saying, "Brother, brother-in-law."

"Good brother!"

Before Zhou Pu could speak, Cai Xun came forward with great enthusiasm and said sincerely, "You destroyed three camps in one day! In the history of Heishan County, there has never been a captain like you. You are truly a hero! It was the right decision to ask you to be the captain!"

"It's all thanks to my brother's good command. It's just the courage of ordinary people."

Zheng Jun also dealt with it for a while, and then continued: "Brother, the Yan family, a gentry in Nansha Town down the mountain, was wiped out by these bandits. Such a sage died in the hands of bandits. I am really ashamed."

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

Cai Xun didn't take the Yan family seriously. Instead, he patted Zheng Jun on the shoulder and said, "But my dear brother, why are you working so hard? The court won't think of your kindness even if you raid these mountain strongholds overnight. Don't do such thankless tasks in the future."

Were the Yan family members killed by bandits?

Cai Xun knew that was not the case. Judging from the traces left in Nansha Town, it was obvious that the town was destroyed by the Black Mountain Guards.

But it doesn't matter.

To Cai Xun, local tyrants like the Yan family were not worth mentioning at all.

In the Great Zhou, only the lowest-ranking families were engaged in land expansion. Famous families in the prefectures like the Cai family contracted an exotic mineral called "Purple Cold Iron" and provided it to the imperial court, making a fortune every day. They did not need any land at all.

In addition, warriors who have reached the outer level can basically practice fasting. For the Cai family, food is not very important. What is important is the flesh and blood of monsters.

Therefore, the Cai family also secretly had three or four places for breeding monsters, where they specialized in raising small monsters. When the monsters grew up and had enough energy, they would be slaughtered and sold.

This makes much more money than farming, so who would want to merge land?
Moreover, land annexation also has a bad reputation.

Big families want both face and profit.

So, let the Yan family be destroyed, it doesn’t matter. With Cai Xun to support them, it doesn’t matter at all.

What is important is the act of eliminating the bandits.

After all, among the Black Mountain Bandits, the strongest one is Lu Hao.

What if I anger Lu Hao and make him go down the mountain?
Lu Hao is a strong man among the outer Gang. He has practiced magic skills and is extremely powerful.

In the eyes of the imperial court, suppressing bandits was no big deal. After all, there were the evil barbarians in the north, the great bandits in the east, and refugees everywhere in the west.

This Black Mountain bandit is nothing.

"As the leader of the Black Mountain Guards, I have the responsibility to defend the land. Since the bandits on the mountain like to come down the mountain to rob, I will use the big knife in my hand to kill them so that they dare not come down the mountain to rob!"

Zheng Jun's voice was sonorous and powerful.

He looked as if he wanted to restore order to the world.

Seeing Zheng Jun so passionate, Cai Xun didn't know what to say. He just waved his hand and ordered donkey carts, ox carts and other vehicles to start escorting the supplies down.

However, when Cai Xun was escorting the supplies, Zheng Jun took the initiative to step forward, lowered his voice, and said to Cai Xun: "Brother, you have to keep half of these supplies secret, don't hand them all over."

"These bandits in Black Mountain are too arrogant. I estimate that it won't be long before not only the Yan family in Nansha Town but also several other families will suffer. When the bandit problem becomes serious, I hope you can write to the county to expand the Black Mountain Guard and give it more vacancies."

Zheng Jun said: "It would be even better if we could unite with the surrounding Zhiyuan County, Rongyuan County and Pingyun County to send troops together to patrol Heishan."

Pingzhang County had eight counties.

Zhiyuan, Rongyuan, Pingyun and Heishan are the four counties surrounding Heishan.

Among them, Heishan County is located at the foot of Heishan Mountain, hence the name Heishan County.

As for Zhiyuan County, Rongyuan County and Pingyun County, although they are far apart, some parts of them extend vertically and horizontally and can be considered adjacent.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Cai Xun understood immediately.

This seemed like an opportunity to use the Black Mountain bandits to openly extend their influence into the other three counties!
"My dear brother, what you said makes sense. The Black Mountain Bandits are too abominable!"

Cai Xun nodded and said seriously: "Go back and make a list of those nobles who are to be killed... and those local sages who are easily harassed by the Black Mountain Bandits. We, the Black Mountain Guards, must take on the responsibility of guarding the land and protect the safety of these local sages under the rule of the court!"
