After Liang Tianyi left, Fan Zhuoyuan stayed alone in the hall.

He looked at the task that had been reissued by the system, and it was obvious that it was not only the White Lotus Sect that would rebel, but also the Smelling Fragrance Sect in the north.

Today's era is quite similar to the situation at the end of Wanli, the rebellion of the Jurchens in Liaodong, the increase in Liao salaries by the imperial court, and various natural disasters, which caused the people to live in poverty.

Looking at this situation, it is even worse than the original history.

At least at the end of Wanli, before hundreds of thousands of people broke out in the north and south, and if this kind of development continued, it was difficult for Li Zicheng to appear in advance.

However, at this time, the people were quite rich and used properly, and the problem of suppressing the two rebellions was not big.

Fan Zhuoyuan was more concerned about the hidden secrets of this world mentioned in the system task at this time, which was obviously a martial arts world, and its upper limit was equivalent to the level of the previous world, and there was no essential improvement.

At least Fan Zhuoyuan hadn't met any martial artists who had reached the Shattered Void realm.

But the side quest is called: They're Returning!

What exactly is this "they"?

The task is for me to continue to investigate the causes and final results of the great war more than 20 years ago.

Could it be that the people in the two realms of good and evil at that time did not actually die?

At the beginning, Fan Zhuoyuan suspected that these masters gathered together to fight in order to allow their respective battle intentions to collide to form the Immortal Gate Shattered Void.

But this world is not like the Huang Yi world, which has the legend of the Broken Void of Martial Dao, how did the group of masters from more than twenty years ago know that they could jointly reach the Broken Void Realm through fighting?

Not only did he shake his head slightly, perhaps the speculation itself was not justified.

It was mentioned in the mission that the clues were on Liu Sheng's sword and the descendants of the Qin Demon, but didn't Liu Sheng's sword commit suicide after losing to Yan Beifei? So many martial arts people have witnessed it with their own eyes, can they still fake their death?

As for the descendants of the Qin Demon......

Fan Zhuoyuan had no clues, and he couldn't help but think of Cheng Shiyao.

So he got up and went out, and at this time Aunt Cai and Uncle Cai were still working in the main altar.

Although they are old, they are all literate and hyphenated, can handle some clerical work, and are very diligent.

Cheng Shiyao had already gone to the market to play the piano, and Fan Zhuoyuan pretended to pass by Cai Bo inadvertently.

Cai Bo immediately stood up and greeted respectfully, "Sect Master! You're here to make rounds?"

Fan Zhuoyuan said with a smile: "Just passing by, what can a blind man inspect. Why don't you go out for a walk?"

Seeing Fan Zhuoyuan's casual invitation, Cai Bo didn't dare to refuse, and the two walked slowly in the main altar.

After being rebuilt at the expense of the Huaishang Salt Gang, it not only took on a new look, but also annexed the real estate of several nearby Jianghu forces, expanding into a bigger and more magnificent.

The corridors and aisles in the altar are all constructed in a garden way, with the appearance of birds singing and flowers.

The two casually talked about homely things, and the tone naturally turned to Cai Bo's family, and it was inevitable that Cheng Shiyao was mentioned.

Cai Bo said: "Although Miss recognizes us and her husband as adoptive father and adoptive mother, we all know that she is from a very high and wealthy background, how can we villains have the blessing to be her parents, I am afraid that we will be damned."

Fan Zhuoyuan pretended to be displeased and said: "In addition to the parents in this sect, all the brothers and sisters in the sect treat each other as equals.

This starts from the blind man, Cai Bo can't be taught repeatedly and despise himself so much."

This rule is also the content that Fan Zhuoyuan gradually reformed and added after taking over the position of sect leader.

At that time, the Maitreya Sect was almost completely casualized, and his martial arts prestige was there, and no one could refuse, this rule was only implemented in the sect at the beginning, but now it has gradually spread to the believers, but the Maitreya Sect has been more widely supported, and the cohesion within the sect is also stronger.

Cai Bo nodded again and again, although he felt comfortable and grateful to be respected, he still instinctively bowed his body, this is a habit that has been cultivated for half a lifetime, and it cannot be changed in a year or two.

"The sect leader is right, this rule, the previous teaching

Although the Lord is merciful, he has never mentioned that there is no such good person as Sect Master Fan in the world."

Fan Zhuoyuan smiled and continued to ask, "Miss Cheng has one hand in piano skills, but is it taught by the two of you?"

Cai Bo shook his head and said, "That's not it, we and I are both people who work with our hands, and we know what kind of piano skills we know there.

As for where the young lady learned it, this ...... Someone will teach her, and we never ask."

Speaking of this, Cai Bo smiled bitterly and said, "There are many things about the young lady, and the old man really can't say much, because we have promised others."

"Is it the one who gave Miss Cheng to you for adoption?"

Cai Bo only replied yes, apologized to Fan Zhuoyuan, and stopped talking about this matter.

Fan Zhuoyuan's heart was bright, and he already knew that Cheng Shiyao's life experience really had another secret, and the person who taught her piano skills was probably the one who handed her over to others for adoption.

If Cheng Shiyao really has some kind of relationship with the qin demon, then the person who taught her the piano must be not simple.

In the future, people can pay attention to Cheng Shiyao, and use it as a clue first.

After the White Lotus Sect is extinguished, by the way, I will spare resources to investigate the place where Liu Sheng's sword died, and according to the system prompts, this person may not be dead.

Although there are too many mysteries in his heart, Fan Zhuoyuan is not confused.

On the same day, I went to the countryside and came to the regimental training station.

These 3,500 regimental training, although they are listed as the imperial court's preparation regimental training, in fact, under Fan Zhuoyuan's vigorous investment, they are all fully equipped with armor and sufficient food, just looking at the equipment, they can indeed be called elite, and they are much stronger than the old and weak guards who are generally erosive.

The 3,500 soldiers were divided into four arms, 1,000 pikemen, 500 sword and shield men, 1,500 musketeers, and 500 artillerymen.

Spears and swords and shields are both traditional weapons, and needless to say, the main responsibility is to stabilize the overall formation and provide effective cover for the output of the firecrackers.

The firecrackers are all equipped with bird guns, and they are all well-made utensils that have been inspected, and each rod is all bought by Fan Zhuoyuan from the imperial treasury with real money.

If you want to say that the Ming Dynasty is corrupt, it is also really corrupt, these sophisticated equipment is not sent to the local troops to equip them, and the local army wants to pay extra money to buy them, otherwise they will only be issued with some tattered muskets and three-eyed guns that will explode.

If the silver is sufficient, the craftsman will spare no effort to build, after all, to be a craftsman in the Ming Dynasty, just like the military household, they are all poor as pants.

Including the tiger squat cannon and sub-mother cannon equipped with the artillery battalion, they were also bought with real money.

In this process, Fan Zhuoyuan personally came into contact with the craftsmen who made guns and cannons, and gave them extra money to use the teachings of Maitreya to influence.

Now they are quietly building weapons for Fan Zhuoyuan, no longer a bird gun with a small caliber that can't be pierced by even the armor, but a large-caliber and very thick flintlock pistol, what they want is the effect of killing people and horses with one shot.

Since the location of the battle was conceived in the south, the army practiced more water warfare in addition to training formations.

After half a year, Fan Zhuoyuan was willing to supply gunpowder and guns, and he was also willing to scrap weapons, update equipment, and keep up with diet and nutrition.

Therefore, the army's training has been very effective, and it has also used the bandit villages in the surrounding green forests to train troops, and under the guidance of Wang Biao of the Liangjiang Dart Bureau, he walked along the canal and destroyed more than a dozen old nests of water bandits, and has a certain amount of actual combat experience.
