On the first day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Hongdao, the 8,000 heroes of Xichuan County met to build the Xichuan Wu Alliance, and swore an oath to defeat the thief Shu Li Xiong to avenge the murder of his relatives.

At the meeting, the heroes jointly promoted Lu Feng, the owner of Danxin Villa, as the leader of the alliance, and led the alliance to crusade against Li Thief.

In the same month, Danxin Villa raised troops in Anyue Mansion, and when the strong men in the mansion heard the news, they all flocked to join the army. In the middle of the day, tens of thousands of people gathered.

Then Lu Feng led the army to attack the city of Anyue, and the city responded by opening the city gate, and in just one day, the city was recovered.

Dayue's Xuanlong flag fluttered at the head of this city again.

After the news spread, Bai Taomen raised 3,000 troops in Xuanwu Mansion to respond to Lü Feng, the Flying Snake Sect raised 5,000 troops in Nanchong Mansion to respond to the uprising, and Meng raised 2,000 troops in Tongchuan Mansion to respond.

Sumeru Temple is in Panshi Mansion, and the believers and monks of the conference raised 6,000 troops to respond.

Other prefectures and counties also raised troops in response.

All of a sudden, in just ten months, fifty-eight rebel armies appeared in Xichuan County, headed by Lu Feng, with a total of 100,000.

Xichuan Prefectures and counties, one-third of which were suddenly recovered, and the Wumeng coalition was mighty, and there was a potential to unify Xichuan for a while.

……

Yuzhong Province.

Under the city, thousands of armies gathered, hunting with banners, and the majesty was incomparable.

Zhou Qing rode on the horse, looking at the closed city gate in front of him, a large number of soldiers gathered on the city tower, at this time, he opened his bow and arrows, raised his crossbow and took stones, and all looked nervously at this side.

After looking at it for a while, he retracted his gaze, turned his head, and said to Guo Yunshan next to him: "Brother Guo, there are many defenders in the city, even if many government soldiers were taken to the Eastern Expedition by Li Thief, but the remaining guards plus the people are more than 2,000 people. This time, our army is only more than 5,000, only twice as much as the other, and it is not so easy to break the city. ”

With the establishment of the Xichuan Martial Alliance, the heroes from all over Xichuan revolted one after another to respond to the alliance leader.

As a member of the conference, Yuzhong Guo, one of the top ten families in Xichuan, naturally cannot be left behind.

As early as ten days ago, Guo Yunshan returned to Xichuan, and then mobilized the remnants of his family's connections to call on the local people to rise up against the tyranny of the Qiang people.

The Qiang people slaughtered heavily in Xichuan, and the local people more or less had relatives and friends, and they died at their hands, which can be described as a sea of blood feud.

In addition, after the establishment of Xishu, even the army was raised year after year.

Less than a year after the founding of the country, Li Xiong set off two campaigns with an army of 100,000 troops.

The army of 100,000 has forced the people to sell their sons and daughters just to maintain consumption and transfer money and food, and they can't survive.

Originally, the Shu thieves were extremely strong, even if they were forced to be miserable, but the local people were afraid of the soldiers, but they still didn't dare to rebel.

But now that the Xichuan Wumeng was born out of nowhere, setting off a huge uprising, and in the blink of an eye, one-third of the prefectures and counties returned to Dayue, which naturally gave many people confidence.

Therefore, as soon as the signboard of the Yuzhong Guo family was played, it immediately attracted more than 5,000 strong men.

Then Guo Yunshan led the volunteers, conquered the east and the west, attacked the city and plundered the land, and soon recovered the land of the five counties of Yuzhong Prefecture, and at this time led a large army to besiege the capital city, wanting to recover the head of this mansion.

At this time, he was full of ambition, and after listening to Zhou Qing's slightly demoralized words, he was a little unhappy and said: "Brother Zhou, my army is strong, and the people want it." The people in the city are also my people, and now they are serving the thieves, but they are only persecuted, so they have to submit.

Now that the righteous army is here, as long as one or two people are sent to say that they are powerful and know the righteousness, the defenders in the city will capture the guards and sacrifice the city to vote. ”

Guo Yunshan said this very optimistically.

But it's no wonder he thinks so.

In the previous time, he conquered the five counties, and as soon as the army arrived, the city was in turmoil, and without even resisting, he opened the city and surrendered.

This is so smooth that it can be called an armed marching experience, and it is naturally easy to make people intoxicated.

Therefore, not only Guo Yunshan is so optimistic, but even the soldiers and generals under him are extremely relaxed.

Just wait for the city to open the door and surrender, and then enter the city to take over the city defense and complete the transformation of ownership.

The messenger who persuaded him to surrender has been sent out.

Everyone is waiting comfortably, and some people are even discussing that after entering the city, they will go to the flower building in the city to have a good play and vent the energy they have accumulated for a long time these days.

The atmosphere was so sloppy and sparse, and Zhou Qing suddenly frowned.

After following his master for a long time, he has also been tainted with some of Lu Yuan's excellent characteristics, that is, he is extraordinarily steady and prudent. I like to think about everything thoroughly and be well prepared.

And after several years of wandering the rivers and lakes, Zhou Qing's experience and experience have all proved that the way of doing things taught by his master is extremely useful.

Several times when he encountered danger, he relied on caution, steadiness and perfection, made several more preparations, and relied on the hole cards to get through safely.

Now looking at the careless appearance of these fellow travelers, Zhou Qing, who has always wanted to ask for stability, is faintly uneasy.

Although he didn't read much military books and didn't know how to lead troops into battle, when Zhou Qing was young, he also heard a lot about Mr. Storyteller and told the stories of those generals who fought in war.

There are many of them, and they talk about the allusions that the proud soldiers will be defeated and the mourning soldiers will be victorious.

Now that the Western Shu Kingdom has lost its land, it has been defeated and retreated again and again, and it has reached the point where there is no way to retreat.

There are still thousands of Qiang soldiers in the city of Yuzhong Prefecture, and they together with the family scrolls of the Qiang soldiers who went out to fight in the city, there are tens of thousands of people in the city. Those Qiang people all know very well that with their hatred for the Yue people of Xichuan County, even if they surrender, there is no way to live.

If you can't defend the city this time, it will be the end of the whole family.

Doesn't this conform to the principle that mourning soldiers will win?

And his side has won consecutive battles, and everywhere he passes, he is looking forward to the wind. Soldiers are complacent and slacken their guard, isn't it arrogant?

Therefore, Zhou Qing is really not optimistic about whether this persuasion can be successful.

And so it was.

I saw that the messenger came to the city gate to persuade him, and the defenders of the city heard it, and sure enough, there was some commotion.

But those who had a commotion were just ordinary Yue people who were temporarily requisitioned, and those Qiang soldiers were not shaken at all.

Even when they saw a riot among the Yue people, those Qiang soldiers directly drew their knives and cut them, but in a moment, the riot was suppressed.

And the messenger below was also halfway through his words, and the city tower fired a hundred arrows, and dozens of Qiang archers raised their bows and shot at him.

If it weren't for the fact that this envoy's martial arts were not bad, he hit the third rate of the rivers and lakes, and he was some distance from the city tower, I am afraid that he would not be able to come back this time.

But even so, the envoy was extremely embarrassed, and with an arrow stuck in his shoulder and a leg missing, he returned to the rear military formation with a painful face.

After seeing Guo Yunshan, he complained and cried bitterly: "General, those thieves are stubborn, and they dare to resist the righteous master at this moment, it seems that they have decided to follow the Shu thieves with all their hearts, and plan to go all the way to the dark."

These thieves, by persuasion, have already descended from them.

According to the villain, the only way to attack is to attack the city by force and destroy these thieves. ”

Guo Yunshan's face was extremely ugly, he never expected that when he was at the height of his momentum now, the more than 2,000 guards in the city would dare to refuse to surrender.

Thinking of Fang Cai's boast in front of Zhou Qing, he felt that his face was a little swollen and red at this time, and he hated the guards in the city who didn't know each other.

Thinking of this, Guo Yunshan turned his head to look at a mighty general next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "General Chen, immediately lead your subordinates to attack this city for me." Within this day I will set foot in this city and kill all these thieves. ”

This general surnamed Chen is the largest army leader under his command, with more than 1,000 troops, and his strength has reached the second rate.

This person was originally a vassal under their Guo clan, and he was not very inconspicuous.

But now that the Guo family has just established itself after the fall, its strength is still very weak, and Guo Yunshan himself only has the strength of a second-rate peak.

Therefore, General Chen gradually became considerate of Guo Yunshan and was not very obedient.

At this time, he wanted to send troops to attack the city, and he immediately thought of this person, wanting to weaken the opponent's forces.

General Chen was naturally clear about his own boss's plan, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But looking at Guo Yunshan's face and then looking at the surrounding atmosphere, if he refused, he didn't dare to say it after all, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Yes." ”

Then, he led his chaotic soldiers and horses, carrying bamboo ladders, and attacked the city wall.

……

Next to him, Zhou Qing looked at this scene, and became more and more optimistic about the development of Guo Yunshan's small group.

Now the situation has only improved slightly, and while the main force of Xishu is outside, some achievements have been made. These so-called Xichuan heroes began to think about intrigue, fighting for power and profit.

Such a short-sighted move is difficult to achieve.

When the main force of Xishu returns, this group of rabble, I am afraid that it will be wiped out in an instant.

I can't even wait for that time, and those people under Guo Yunshan's hands may not be able to defeat a single city.

Don't fail to attack the city by then, but you will be destroyed by others. ’

At this moment, Zhou Qing's cautious mind rose again, but he had a slight retreat.

Since he followed Guo Yunshan into Shu, the two of them have gone through many hardships and dangers, fighting to the death with those assassins sent by Li Xiong, and only then did they luck to open a few treasures left by the Guo family.

It was also from those treasures that they obtained the divine pill refined by the Guo Clan's Clear Blood Spirit Snake, and the two of them were able to break through one after another in just a few months and step into this second-rate realm.

But that's all there is to it.

But as Guo Yunshan entered the second rate and had the power of self-preservation, this person's true nature was also exposed.

We can share in adversity, but not prosperity.

When Guo Yunshan was in the third rate, he greeted Zhou Qing as a brother every day, and he was extremely intimate.

But after he was second-rate, although he still called Brother Zhou, every time he went to open the family secret, he deliberately avoided Zhou Qing, and even didn't let him go with him.

Obviously, this is because I don't want to share the benefits of Zhou Qing anymore.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Yunshan is now the peak of the second rate, but Zhou Qing is still only a beginner in the second rate, and the difference between the two is not a little bit, but the distance between the six meridians.

"Guo Yunshan has become jealous of me, and now he treats me politely, this is because he likes my second-rate strength and wants to use it.

But if I don't realize it, continue to stay, and wait until he recovers the foundation of the Guo family, I'm afraid it will be the end of the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of the lackey.

And ......" Zhou Qing glanced at Guo Yunshan and sneered in his heart.

This good brother Guo has been watching him defensively.

But this little bit of caution, how can it be of much use to Zhou Qing, who has studied with Lu Yuan for several years and has become a little fox.

The other party always thought that he was going to open the treasure, and no one knew about it on the way. Even when the first two collected the treasure together, most of the benefits were obtained by themselves.

But in fact, whether it was when the two of them opened the treasure together, or Guo Yunshan went to open the treasure alone, Zhou Qingke did not fall at all.

It's just that he is secretive and invisible, and Guo Yunshan is too arrogant to find out.

"Although in terms of the Divine Blood Spirit Pill, because Guo Yunshan is staring too closely, I haven't had much chance to start. But among the treasures, Guo Yunshan didn't pay close attention to some other martial arts inheritances, but he let me get some of them. ”

The inheritance of martial arts is naturally important for the martial artists of the rivers and lakes.

But as I said before.

A first-class cheatbook, even the most beginner kind, can only practice one or two miracle scriptures. If a Jianghu martial artist wants to cultivate from scratch to the top, even if it is that kind of martial arts genius, it will take almost forty years.

At that time, geniuses are all fifty or sixty years old, and they can't play for a few years.

And if those ordinary people are seventy or eighty years old, they can cultivate to the top level.

In this case, how useful can you be as a martial artist, even if you have a cheat?

Therefore, for those truly first-class families and sects, what they value most is not the martial arts cheats, but the divine blood xenomorphs that can help with cultivation.

Whether there is a god-blood xenomorph or not is the criterion for judging whether a force has a heritage inheritance.

Otherwise, even if you have cultivated to the first-class level and can be in the limelight for a while, but since you have passed, it will be difficult to produce a second person, what is the use of this kind of scenery?

Therefore, after noticing that Zhou Qing seemed to have another inheritance and did not lack first-class exercises, Guo Yunshan relaxed his attention to the family heirloom exercises when he was looking for treasures.

Instead, he stared at the blue-blooded spirit snake, and the god-blood spirit pill.

Compared to the exercises he had already mastered, these xenomorphs and elixirs were the hope of the family's revival.

"Guo Yunshan thinks that I have first-class exercises, so I shouldn't look down on his family's inheritance. But who knows, I only have first-class mental methods, and I don't have any other first-class moves.

This time, from the Guo family's treasure, I got the "Chiyang Divine Skill" inherited by the Guo family, which is a first-class top exercise, including the complete cultivation of the twelve canons and six strange scriptures, and there are two more strange sutras than the Qi replenishing Heart Sutra I practiced.

And what's even better is that in addition to the heart method, the Chiyang Divine Skill also includes the supporting Chiyang Palm Technique, Chiyang Fingering Technique, and Chiyang Sword Technique.

A set of mental methods, which can match the three moves of palm, finger and sword, Guo is worthy of being the first of the three surnames in Xichuan, and has been inherited for thousands of years in a martial arts family.

With such a background, I'm afraid that in addition to the lack of innate exercises, it is not much worse than those innate sects. ”

Zhou Qing touched a book that he had collected in his arms, and then looked at Guo Yunshan, who was looking at the unfavorable siege and was looking angry.

I really feel that this person is guarding Baoshan, but he doesn't know how to use it.

With such a practice inheritance, if it were him, he would have hid and cultivated a long time ago, and he would never go out of the mountain until he was first-class.

After all, in the current situation in the world, how much of a role can a second-rate cultivation like Guo Yunshan play?

Like the last meeting.

Danxin Villa was originally among the top ten families in Xichuan, and it could only be regarded as an ordinary first-class strength ranked at the bottom.

But this time, because of the collapse of each family, the first-class masters in the sect family died in battle, but only Lu Feng, the owner of Danxin Villa, survived and became the strongest one among the only three remaining first-class masters.

In the end, relying on this strength, Lu Feng was elected as the leader of the alliance and was able to lead the 100,000 heroes of Xichuan to reunite.

This rivers and lakes, this world, after all, still rely on strength to speak.

Guo Yunshan is now a second-rate peak, with his resources and talents, if he wants to go further, he only needs to retreat for two or three years, and he will definitely achieve first-class.

When the time comes, it will become a first-class, even if there is no half-soldier in his hand?

Relying on the strength of a first-class master, coupled with the prestige of the Guo family in the past, if you want to revive the family, it is not a simple matter.

But after this person saw that Lu Feng had become the leader of Xichuan, he was so anxious that he wanted to restore the family foundation, and he couldn't even wait for a moment.

What alliance to participate in, in order to be in the limelight, he came to lead the troops to fight, and did things that he was not good at.

"It's a ......"

Zhou Qing thought about it before and after, no matter how he thought about it, he felt extremely stupid.

Looking at it this way, he felt even more that Guo Yunshan's broken ship might sink at any time.

And if you follow each other, you won't get any benefit, but you have to take risks.

As soon as I thought about it, the thought of leaving deepened.

"Isn't Master's side always distressed, and there is no advanced practice after the first-class? Now that I have obtained the Chiyang Divine Skill, I will definitely be able to please his old man when I go back and dedicate it to Master. ”

Zhou Qing remembered his master at this time.

The master treated him like a mountain, but he left when the master needed him, and he must have broken his old man's heart.

Over the years, every time Zhou Qing thought about this, he felt ashamed and uneasy.

Now, if you can go back with your divine skills and use it as a gift of filial piety, you will definitely be able to make up for the mistakes of failing to fulfill your filial piety.

And I haven't seen my master for more than three years, and Zhou Qing, who has been wandering outside for so long, also misses each other very much.

He is now second-rate, and he has also obtained miraculous skills, which can be regarded as a fame, and he has lived up to his ambitions back then.

"Even if I go back to see Master, I will have face."

The more Zhou Qing thought about it, the deeper the thought of going back to see his master became. When I got to the back, I didn't want to stay any longer.

So he didn't care a lot, and rode his horse to Guo Yunshan, who was already supervising the battle in front of the battle, and said directly to the other party: "Brother Guo, now you have obtained the treasure and restored the family business." Now he is leading 5,000 heroes, conquering cities and conquering cities, invincible.

I was promised, and I did.

There is also a master in the next family, and now he has been out for a few years, and he misses it very much. I didn't stay long, and I came to ask Brother Guo for my resignation. ”

Suddenly hearing this request, Guo Yunshan was stunned.

Then he looked at Zhou Qing with a distracted face, and his face was difficult to look at.

Although he was wary of Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing had eaten several of his Divine Blood Spirit Pills, and now he had broken through to the second rate.

According to Guo Yunshan's thoughts, those who eat me are my people. didn't give me a good life, but wanted to escape from the war, how beautiful should I think about it?

But Zhou Qing and him really have no master-slave relationship, and the two sides are just temporary cooperation.

Now that the cooperation is over, no one can say anything if they want to leave.

Moreover, thinking of the master in Zhou Qing's words......

'This Zhou Qing has an extraordinary background and has a first-class inheritance. His master is probably also a first-class master.

Now that I'm only at the top of the second-rate, and I'm tasked with reviving the family, if I leave someone behind and offend a first-class master, it might bring trouble to the family.

Hate that this man should be so ungrateful, and forsake me at this time. Shameless! Nonsense! ’

Guo Yunshan scolded in his heart, but after his face stiffened for a long time, he finally pulled out a smile and nodded: "Since Brother Zhou is leaving, then let's go." ”

After speaking, he turned his head, but he didn't want to look at Zhou Qing's nasty face anymore.

I really don't want to do even superficial work.

And Zhou Qing didn't care about him.

Seeing that Guo Yunshan did not turn his face, but let himself go. The heart that was originally wary was also a little relieved.

"Brother Guo, take care."

Zhou Qing hugged his fist at Guo Yunshan, then twisted the horse's head, waved the whip, and left into the distance amid the neighing of the horse.

It's been a long time since I've been away from home, and the wandering wanderer is homesick, and I can't wait to go back at this time.
