Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

The ambush troops had no idea how many people were above them.

The mountain wind was strong, and the burning oil swirled up even more thick black smoke.

A large number of soldiers were forced to flee down the mountain.

"Kill!" Dou Xianniang led her family's warriors and many manor servants to attack the soldiers.

Her spear moved like a snake, slaughtering those men until they were all knocked down.

Wu Qing was unable to participate in the battle and could only watch from the rear as her little words floated amidst the chaos.

He discovered that when his attention was focused on Dou Xianniang, her entry would light up, while the entries for others would be small and dim.

The entry representing Dou Xianniang took the lead, cutting through the enemy again and again, causing those guys to further collapse.

He thought to himself, "Personal combat skills are indeed very important."

He then thought, "First, create chaos among the enemy, then use elite troops to break through their main force."

"This seems to be a tactic used exclusively by Li Jing, who was considered a military genius in this era. It can be said to be a one-trick pony that works every time."

Should I take advantage of the fact that Li Jing is not yet famous and has not been captured and nearly beheaded by Li Yuan, and persuade Dou Jiande to kidnap Li Jing and give him an important position?

After all, perhaps only Li Jing could truly face Li Erfeng without being defeated.

But will Dou Jiande listen to me?

Even if you listen to that, the banner Dou Jiande is currently using to start his rebellion is mainly about killing officials and rebelling, and he is using heroes from the Jianghu and a large number of people from the lower classes who can't make a living.

He couldn't possibly give Li Jing, who hasn't yet achieved any significant results and has a powerful family background, a more suitable position.

The ambushing soldiers were quickly routed, and able-bodied men advanced from the rear to help clean up the battlefield.

Dou Xianniang arrested several people and interrogated them.

After a while, she rode over.

Her soft armor reflected the faint moonlight, and the gleaming spearhead dripped with blood.

Despite her delicate and pretty face, she exudes a heroic and spirited air, radiating brightness and brilliance.

"Young master!" Dou Xianniang said with a smile, as if reporting to him, "We have already interrogated them, and sure enough, we have spies among us."

"They knew in advance that we abandoned the village overnight and didn't have time to wait for reinforcements, so they rushed here to ambush us."

Wu Qing thought he could take a feather fan and sit in the car and wave it.

He laughed and said, "Actually, it's a very simple matter, not worth mentioning."

Dou Xianniang said admiringly, "It seems simple in retrospect, but it's not easy to prevent it beforehand. If it weren't for your reminder, young master, none of us would have thought of that."

Wu Qing didn't actually expect that he had only "seen" it.

At this moment, Dou Bin also rode over and said, "The spy has found out that he is a farmhand who came here a few months ago. When he saw that things were not going well, he tried to escape."

"I interrogated them a bit in the back just now, and they confessed to everything."

Dou Xianniang said, "Uncle Bin, first gather all the important people in the manor."

Before long, all the martial artists from Dou Family Village gathered around, forming layers upon layers, waiting for the young lady's instructions.

Dou Xianniang looked around and pointed her blood-stained silver spear at the night sky: "Everyone!"

"Fortunately, it was thanks to Young Master Wu Qing that we were able to see through the enemy's ambush plan in advance tonight. This not only saved our lives but also allowed us to defeat the ambushing soldiers and save everyone."

"Young Master Wu Qing was originally the advisor of Wuji Village, and we are now heading to Wuji Village to evade the government's pursuit and establish our own power base. From this moment on, Young Master Wu Qing is our advisor, and no one is allowed to be disrespectful to him; anyone who disobeys will be executed."

Wu Qing never expected that she would ask him to be the advisor for Doujiazhuang.

He was indeed the advisor in Wuji Village.

But in the end, Wuji Village was full of illiterate people from the lower classes; he just happened to be good at accounting.

He felt that he didn't have much ability, and didn't even know any martial arts, so he wanted to refuse.

The surrounding crowd began to shout in unison, "Master Wu!" "Greetings, Master Wu!" "Rest assured, Master Wu, anyone who dares to disrespect you will be dealt with severely."

It turns out that although most of the martial artists and servants in the Dou family were skilled in martial arts, they were all low-level江湖 heroes.

Having witnessed so much fighting and killing, I have come to admire even more those cultured scholars who are also skilled in military strategy.

They're capable of risking their lives on the battlefield, but they really don't understand things like military strategy and tactics.

They didn't know, and Wu Qing didn't understand either; it was purely cheating.

Seeing that Wu Qing was so young yet so adept at understanding the enemy's tactics, they were all filled with admiration.

Dou Xianniang knew that there were many fearless tough guys in the village, but a severe lack of strategists.

The biggest shortcoming of the common people who rose up in rebellion compared to the powerful clans was that there were too few people who understood military strategy.

After all, various classic texts and historical records were monopolized by aristocratic families and clans, and ordinary people had no access to them or any way to learn about them.

There are very few people who can even read.

She hadn't expected that this young man possessed such unparalleled strategic skills.

I really struck gold on this trip.

Wu Qing had absolutely no confidence in taking on the role of advisor.

This is not like the old Wuji Village, which was full of tenant farmers and refugees forced to flee to the deep mountains. In fact, there were very few people who even knew martial arts.

These were true heroes of the martial arts world, destined to become mountain kings and rebel, and he worried that he might lead them astray.

But to be fair, after more than half a year of wandering, he is now surrounded by cheers from the crowd.

The contrast in his circumstances gave him a sense of satisfaction and pride.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the team quickly crossed the canyon ahead and traveled through the night.

Many people were also secretly wondering about the origins of this young clerk who suddenly appeared and saved the entire village.

[Mystery Level +1]

[Mystery Level +2]

[Mystery Level +2]

That night, a full 23 points of mystery value were added.

[Strangeness Level 38, Ferocity Level 1, Evil Charm Level 0, Mystery Level 30, Infectivity Level 3.]

The upgrade progress bar is already more than two-thirds complete.

After traveling for two more days, they successfully shook off their pursuers.

Finally, they arrived at Wuji Village.

Although Wujizhai has been burned down, there are still many remaining buildings.

The people of Doujiazhuang were well-trained. After a quick rest, they began to repair the village gate and make rolling logs.

This place is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack, backed by the entire Yanyin Mountain Range, and directly in front of it is all mountain roads.

The county magistrate was horrified to learn that Wuji Village, which had just been wiped out, had been occupied by an even more powerful band of thieves.

Knowing that there were many martial artists in Wuji Village and that it would be difficult to encircle and suppress them with the local county troops, he sent a letter to the prefecture, hoping that the imperial court would send more troops.

At this time, Wang Bo of Changbai Mountain gathered a crowd to start an uprising in Shandong, and Gao Shida and Dou Jiande followed closely behind in Hebei. The whole country responded, and the number of rebel armies in various places reached more than a hundred.

This is the "smoke and dust of the sixty-four roads".

At this moment, Dou Xianniang received another letter.

But it concerned her best friend... Shan Xiongxin's daughter, Shan Ailian.
