This incident was completely defeated in less than a year, and Zhang Xiong's ambition was also hit badly, even if he entered the lush Qintong Mountain, he could not break free from his depressed mood. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before entering the territory of the Liquan Governor's Mansion, the convoy stopped in front of a heavily shady hill to rest, and the guards opened the prisoner cart and let Zhang Xiong out to breathe the air. Standing in the twilight, his beard and hair were all white, fluttering in the wind, compared to Zhang Xiong, who was just over eighty years old in Yuchicheng, was wearing a green shirt that was already a little old, although he did not have torture tools, his face was even more old.

In the past, he was the overlord of a place, but for the rest of his life, he was imprisoned in a cave somewhere in Qintong Mountain, and he also involved the Zhang family to be demoted to a criminal clan forever, how could Zhang Xiong be freed from his depressed emotions?

"Father, the front is Liquan Mansion...... Zhang Xiong's youngest son Zhang Han took advantage of the rest of the convoy to walk from the prisoner car behind, they traveled west along the south bank of the Tong River for more than a day, and at this time they saw a city seven or eight miles square, standing in the mountains in front of them.

Although everyone had not set foot in Qintong Mountain before, from the information collected, they still had some understanding of Juquanling, and knew that in the later period when Chen Hai held Juquanling, there were more than a dozen sects in the Yanzhou border county, and they set up Taoist temples around Juquanling, and then joined forces to build Liquan City in the valley that entered Juquanling.

After Chen Hai handed over the power of Juquanling to the Craftsmen's Guild, Liquan City actually became the ruling center of this area.

Although Liquan City is located in the territory of Qintong Shantong Beifu, it is not under the jurisdiction of the county government, and its status is different.

Under the Craftsmen's Association, there are Da Si Cheng, Left and Right Si Cheng and Liquan Du Lieutenant, who are in charge of the military and political power in this small area.

To say that Liquan is an independent kingdom, but behind the scenes, it is controlled by the nine great world lords of Yanzhou; each of these nine world lords is pulled out alone, and it is dozens of times stronger than the Zhang family of Tianai Mountain, but Liquan is not controlled by any single force, even if the imperial decree of Emperor Yitian is issued, it will not be ignored.

If you want to say that the Elite Capital Protectorate is special, but on the surface, Dong Ning, the Exquisite Lady, is still rewarded by Ye Qinglin, the lord of the Xiqiang Kingdom, so that she can govern Lucheng, Montenegro and other places into fiefdoms, and on the surface, she still needs to be loyal to the Xiqiang Kingdom;

Looking at the busy traffic in and out of the Liquan territory, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han and his son did not expect that the mechanism of Liquan was working quite effectively.

Zhang Xiong had seven children, fifty-three grandchildren, plus the wife of his wife, his mother, and his sons-in-law, as well as the three generations of blood relatives and descendants of the Zhang family from Zhang Xiong upwards; plus seven disciples of Zhang Xiong, the heirs, the blood relatives of the three generations, the disciples of the family, and the wife family, a total of more than 3,000 people, were all reduced to criminal clans after the war, and the vast majority of them were sentenced to exile, and Zhang Xiong himself, his children and his personal disciples, even if they went to the place of exile, would be additionally imprisoned.

Previously, most of them had been exiled to Liquan first, and Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han and his son, and the other 400 tribesmen were the last group.

At this moment, Zhang Han accompanied his father Zhang Xiong to stand on the hill, looking at the time he was about to step into the boundary of Liquan, his mood was heavy and complicated, although everyone had saved their lives, but no one knew what kind of fate would be waiting for them in Liquan.

At this time, there was a herald to come over, and there were only the last thirty or fifty miles left, and everyone was asked to rest, and after eating dry food, they hurriedly reorganized their ranks and prepared to go on the road, and they would not camp here at night, but should directly enter the camp prepared in the territory of the Liquan Governor's Mansion.

Although Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han, father and son and others did not use the torture tools, nor did they directly destroy the Linghai Trick Vein and abolish the cultivation, but the hundreds of bones and the Soul Trick Vein were all placed under multiple lock spirit needles, and the daily meals were supervised by a special person, which was mixed with a little anti-spirit scattering and forbidden medicine, which made them no different from being abolished and cultivated.

Under the supervision of a special person, after a hasty dinner, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han and his son and others each got into a special prisoner car, fortunately the prisoner car was not completely closed, and they could see the mountains under the twilight through the small window, so it was not too depressing and depressing.

Through the small window of the prisoner's car, Zhang Xiong could see a large and heavily guarded complex of buildings before entering the Liquan territory, which was the location of the Mojia Division, which had moved west from Yanjing to Qintong Mountain, and was the largest armament manufacturing department under the General Prison.

After entering the boundary of Liquan, in addition to the Liquan City built between the mountains, there are also a large number of pavilions and palaces built between the surrounding mountains and peaks.

These are the Taoist monasteries set up by the powerful feudal clans of other counties in Liquan, ensuring that in addition to the Craftsmen's Association, they can have additional influence on Liquan.

In addition to the nine powerful clans, most of the sect lords and sects in Yanzhou, and even the eight clans of Jingjun were excluded from the Craftsman Association, they had no direct influence and control over Liquan City, but they could never easily give up the supply of cheap quenched iron, so they could only send people to keep an eye on this side for a long time.

At this time, Juquanling's annual output of quenched iron reached 30 million catties, and only one-third of it would be directly transported to the fiefdoms directly under the nine powerful domains. In addition to making all kinds of Xuanbing armor and all kinds of bow and crossbow weapons in Liquan, more quenched iron materials were sold to the outside world, and the clan lords who were officially canonized by the imperial court and above the first level of pavilion marquis, as well as the yamen of the county governments, even if they did not have direct influence on the craftsmen's association, could still directly obtain a certain amount of quenched iron supplies.

This made the trade route from Nanzhang Province to Tongbei Province more prosperous than even before the rebellion of the displaced people.

What is the concept of 30 million catties?

Before Juquanling, the total output of quenched iron in Yanzhou's 100 counties may not be able to exceed this number.

At this time, Chen Hai's decision to hand over Juquanling to the co-ruling families was extremely correct.

The people of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, if they want to monopolize this treasure mine at the bottom of Quanhu Lake, the only end is to be crushed by more powerful forces.

Even if the Dong, Miao and other clans are all first-class powerful lords in Yanzhou, in order to avoid offending the anger of the public, they do not dare to privately divide the annual output of 30 million catties of the nine families, and they have to take out almost two-thirds of the amount and supply it to the generals who belong to the imperial court and are actually controlled by the eight clans of Jingjun at a relatively low price, the yamen of each county government, and the clan lords who have been canonized by the imperial dynasty.

Including Juquan Ridge, Juquan Ridge and Baishi Ridge, Liquan has jurisdiction over an area of 120 miles, and there are many mountains and few places. Four or five years ago, there were only a few thieves' dens and villages here, which can be said to be barren, but at this time, there are many villages and courtyards, in addition to the Taoist courtyards in the mountains, and almost the empty valleys between the peaks have been developed and utilized.

It has only been less than two years since Chen Hai left Qintong Mountain, and in such a short period of time, the area from Tongbei Mansion to Liquan has prospered at an unimaginable speed.

Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han and his son just entered Qintong Mountain, and saw that there was still some desolation on both sides of the road, and from Nanzhangfu to the north, it was even deeper into the hinterland of the Qintong Mountains.

Of course, when the scouts were sent to collect information on Juquanling, they described the prosperity of Liquan, but Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han's father thought that the scouts were exaggerating after seeing the prosperity of Yanzhou County at first glance, but they did not expect that it was even better.

Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han and his son and more than 400 people from the Zhang clan's criminal clan bypassed outside Liquan City and continued to travel westward, and soon saw the real world-famous Juquanling, and could also see the village of Zhaoyang Tinghou's Mansion at the southeast foot of Juquanling.

The scale of Zhaoyang Village is not small, with five or six hundred steps square, but it looks ordinary.

Zhang Xiong and Zhang Han saw Chen Hai enter Zhaoyang Village surrounded by all the guards, but the prisoner convoy did not stop, but continued westward, and it was almost early in the morning before it stopped in front of a courtyard-like complex.

At this time, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han, and his son were released from the prison car again, and there were special personnel in charge of handing over waiting here, counting the roster, and placing the children and relatives of the Zhang family who had been exiled to Liquan one by one in each courtyard according to the roster.

Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han and his son stayed at the end and were led into a walled courtyard that was strictly guarded by a guard.

At this time, Zhang Xiong saw his wife Xun and his young daughter-in-law Zhao, as well as Zhang Han's children, who were still minors in front of his knees, all waiting hard in this walled courtyard, probably unable to believe it, and he was stunned to recognize each other.

"Mother!" Zhang Han walked over and knelt down in front of his mother, Xun.

On the way to the east, Zhang Han was suffering in his heart, not knowing what kind of punishment he would suffer after arriving in Liquan, and not knowing if there was a chance to reunite with his family, but he did not expect that after moving into Liquan, he would be able to meet smoothly immediately.

He was also full of emotion for a while, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhang Xiong was also stunned for a while, and couldn't help asking, "What about Erniang and Sanniang?"

In addition to the main room Xun, Zhang Xiong also had two concubines who had been moved to Liquan before. He could not ask about the whereabouts of the two concubines, but he could not ignore the whereabouts of the other six children and many grandchildren.

Heroes will inevitably have a love affair with their children in the end, not to mention that Zhang Xiong is depressed, and there are not many things he can think about.

"It's all okay, it's in the east and west two courtyards, you can still see it during the day, but the curfew is enforced at night, and the courtyards are locked from the outside, prohibiting entry and exit, and you may be able to see it tomorrow." Xun said with tears in his eyes.

No one from the guards came in to disturb Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han's father and son, and their relatives.

Although it was already late at night, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han, his wife and son talked about the hardships and worries on the road, and they did not feel the slightest sleep.

It wasn't until the gate of the courtyard was opened from the outside again that Zhang Xiong found that he and his family had been sitting in the courtyard for half the night.

Seeing Wu Meng, the general of Chen Hai's lineage, coming over in person, Zhang Xiong, Zhang Han, father and son were silent, knowing that they should be punished and couldn't escape, they were still grateful to Wu Meng for taking care of their wives and children, and saluted.

"Zhang Hou, the Locking Spirit Needle can be removed. Wu Meng said.

Zhang Xiong was unwilling to be abolished for half a lifetime, but seeing that his children and grandchildren were still young, he couldn't resist and turned around silently, untied the robe, and nailed it naked into the back of the nine locking spirit needles.

The Lock Spirit Needle is a yellow-level low-grade magic weapon, and the Soul Lock Breath is refined into Wu Meng's Divine Soul Breath, which can only be solved by Wu Meng himself;

Wu Meng smiled: "Zhang Hou, you can force the spirit locking needle out of your body by yourself." The young marquis will invite you to come over and talk at this time. ”

Zhang Xiong was slightly stunned, and then his divine consciousness sank into the Linghai Spirit Palace, slightly stirring the true yuan mana, where was there any sign of the slightest sign of forbidden medicine? He didn't even notice that at a certain point in time, Chen Hai actually ordered him to stop and continue to force him to take forbidden medicine.
