Chapter 233 Escort Autumn Grain
Feeling the shock in Chu Qiu's expression, Murong Xiushan couldn't help but look at it, this mountain temple was his proudest work.
It's in the middle of nowhere, and after many years, few people can come here.
But everyone who sees the mountain temple can't help but be amazed.
And every time he heard the exclamation, Murong Xiushan would flutter.
"Brother Chu, where are you from?"
Murong Xiushan stretched out his hand and patted the bluestone slab he was sitting on, and the curtain on the left fluttered, and behind the curtain, there was a loud rumbling sound.
The weather that had been a little hot became refreshing in the loud noise.
Chu Qiu looked at the place where the cool breeze came from, and it turned out to be an iceberg about a foot high.
"I'm from Qingzhou, and I've traveled here!"
"Haha......" Murong Xiushan laughed again, and said with a smile: "I like you Qingzhou people, you are bold, and we Liangzhou people are real men......"
Chu Qiu chuckled and asked, "Brother Murong, isn't he a native of Xiangzhou?" ”
"I was sent by the Martial God Temple, and I will tell you a secret, the Martial God Temple arranges the mountain gods of various states, and they all like to send them, and in principle, the people of this state cannot serve as the mountain gods of this state." Murong Xiushan laughed, and told Chu Qiu a little secret in his throat.
Chu Qiu's eyes shrank, and he remembered a few nouns in his heart: "The mountain god belongs to the Martial God Temple?" What kind of organization is the Martial God Temple? ”
Murong Xiushan should rarely talk to people on weekdays, but now when he meets a young man of equal strength like Chu Qiu, he can't help but brag and tell some of his past stories.
If Chu Qiu could understand, he echoed a few words, and if he didn't understand the place, he opened his mouth to ask a few words.
Murong Xiushan only regarded Chu Qiu as a junior, because he wanted to invite Chu Qiu to help, he naturally knew everything and said everything.
Unconsciously, Chu Qiu already had a general understanding of this side of the world.
For example, the origin of the Martial God Temple.
The Martial God Temple originated from the Xinhua ** team before the outbreak of the zombie virus.
After the outbreak of the zombie virus, the original government system collapsed, and the Martial God Temple replaced it as a new national super institution, which has been ruling New China for forty years.
Today's Martial God Temple, together with the local base government, governs the territory of the Xinhua Kingdom in parallel.
Among them, the mountain gods of each state are only responsible for the basic training of the soldiers of each base, which is roughly equivalent to the Huaguo Armed Police Brigade.
At the same time, the mountain god also selects potential young talents and recommends them to the Martial God Temple for training.
And the base governments of the states pay taxes to the Martial God Temple.
The headquarters of the Martial God Temple is responsible for fighting abroad and protecting the entire Chinese nation.
Previously, Chu Qiu only learned some information about Xinhua Kingdom, but Murong Xiushan told that in this world, before the outbreak of the zombie virus, there were a total of thirty-three countries.
These 33 countries are now divided into 87 federal governments, and the world is now too far away to have any contact.
However, there are eight superpower organizations in the world, and Xinhua Kingdom, which is represented by the Martial God Temple, is one of them.
There are four small countries to the south of Xinhua that are Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and two countries to the east, namely Korea and Yamato.
To the southwest, there is a big country, Tianzhu.
To the northwest, there are three small countries, namely, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan.
To the north there are two countries, one called Mon Khan and the other called Rus.
Among them, Meng Khan, Rus, and Han are all allies of China, among which Meng Khan and Han belong to pig teammates.
The five countries of Yamato, Indonesia, Vietnam, Equestria, and Tianzhu are all hostile countries.
The rest of the countries are in a state of seclusion and do not communicate with the outside world.
In the more than 40 years that he joined the Martial God Temple, he has fought many wars with the five kingdoms of Yamato, Indonesia, Yue, Equestria, and Tianzhu.
Once the big war starts, the sky will fall apart, and the probability of the death of a king-level powerhouse is not much less than that of an ordinary level warrior.
Murong Xiushan has joined the Martial God Temple for more than 40 years, and fifteen years ago, in the King-level Powerhouse Battle Tournament held by the Martial God Temple, he entered the top 100 and was named the Xiangzhou Mountain God.
"Back then, I was just one move behind, slightly inferior, and stopped in the round of sixty-four, if I can go further, I can enter the headquarters of the Martial God Temple and become an elder......"
Murong Xiushan raised a huge wine glass, poured it into his stomach, burped, and his eyes began to turn red.
"The brothers who participated in the Martial God Temple with me back then, now there are only two people left, a brigade of one hundred people, and two survived forty years of war, you say I, am I lucky?"
"Brother Murong, you just said that you asked me for help, I don't know what the little brother can do?"
Chu Qiu heard many secrets of this world from Murong Xiushan, so naturally it was impossible to leave, and asked him, but he made up his mind in his heart, if it was a dangerous task, he would definitely not do it.
"Transporting grain!"
Murong Xiushan said business, although he was still drunk, his eyes were much brighter: "In another month, autumn is coming, and the annual autumn grain escort will begin." In previous years, when it was transported from Xiangzhou to Zhongzhou, there were countless sand bandits and zombies encountered on the way, and some soldiers would be lost more or less. I think Brother Chu has good skills, if you are willing to help escort the autumn grain, I can call the shots and give you a million white crystals as a reward! ”
Just now, Chu Qiu had already learned from Murong Xiu's mountain pass that the Martial God Temple collects taxes from various states every year, and part of this tax is paid with white crystals and partly with autumn grain.
Autumn grain is the prey harvested from the wasteland by various bases, including grain and grass, meat, and even some special items.
Each base is hundreds of kilometers away, and a state capital is in charge of a territory with a diameter of more than 2,000 kilometers.
The distance of transporting grain from Xiangzhou to Zhongzhou is more than 10,000 kilometers, passing through five states, and more than 7,000 kilometers are deserts.
In addition to various government bases hidden deep underground, there are also various non-governmental armed groups in the desert.
More than eighty percent of these non-governmental armed organizations have no production capacity, and they like to rob hunters who go out from various bases, just like the bandits and bandits who robbed homes and houses in ancient times, so they are collectively called sand bandits.
The base of the sand bandits is also hidden underground, and the exit is difficult to find, and even if the sand bandits are found and uprooted, there are often some people in the base who are not satisfied with the rule of the base government and flee.
As a result, the number of sand bandits has only increased.
As the number of bandits grew, so did their boldness, from robbing individual hunters to blatantly charging cards.
In the past ten years, the sand bandits have become more and more emboldened, and the robbery of the autumn grain of the Martial God Temple has begun to happen.
And the frequency of robberies, is getting higher and higher.
Murong Xiushan is the mountain god of Xiangzhou, and according to the regulations of the Martial God Temple, he has the duty to guard the land and is not allowed to leave his own territory, Xiangzhou.
This matter of escorting the autumn grain can only be handed over to the teams stationed in various bases of the Martial God Temple.
There are a total of seven bases in Xiangzhou, the state capital is the No. 15 base, and the other six bases need two hundred people, which are one hundred warbands and one hundred hunters.
The hunters escort the autumn grain, and the team is responsible for guarding it.
According to the practice of previous years, these seven hundred clans, with a minimum cultivation equivalent to a third-order hunter, were handed over to seven king-level powerhouses to lead. And the seven hundred hunters, the lowest level, are also third-order hunters, but they are only seven fifth-order hunters.
Fourteen hundred third-order hunters seemed to be very powerful, and there was no sand bandit that could fight against them.
But the sand bandits are not stupid, and when they set their sights on the Martial God Temple, they have already begun to unite.
A sand bandit den will definitely not be able to take it, such an escort team.
But ten bandit dens, or even twenty or thirty sand bandit dens are united......
The situation is very bad!
