The Qi Sect's room was not too many, but it took Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng three days to copy the pictures and words hanging on the walls of each house one by one. Hong Chen is not just a simple copy, often think about the trick when he puts pen to paper, if there is something that is not thorough enough, he will discuss it with Lei Feifeng, and it is quite a matter of two people to learn "Kunlun Jue" together.

Although Hong Chen has never systematically studied internal strength, and does not know why the use of internal force is true, but after all, the foundation of cultivation is placed on his body, and the basic internal strength practice is naturally from a high position, and he understands it very quickly.

Lei Feifeng didn't find a sense of qi until he went down the mountain, he was unhappy, he usually liked to find a topic and chattered, and this time he didn't talk much for several days. Hong Chen comforted him a few times, but when he saw that it didn't work, he let him go.

Back at the foot of the mountain, Hong Chen brought Xue Lifei from the village and drove Lei Feifeng to the central part of Dizhou. The cure has been found, and the top priority is to find the white lone wolf. After traveling for a few days, when he came to a small city to rest, Hong Chenfang learned from the local population that at the beginning of this year, when he was still on Kunlun Mountain, a major event happened in Xiliang.

It's not appropriate to say that it's a big thing, it's a series of things that add up, which makes Xiliang fall into a rare turmoil.

First of all, at the end of the year, the highest official sent by Xiliang to Huzhou to supervise the government, the current governor Hu envoy, was assassinated, Huzhou suddenly fell into turmoil, some people took the opportunity to play the banner of getting rid of Xiliang's slavery, gathered the mountain people, raised troops to rebel, and intended to capture the governor Hu Mansion set up by Xiliang.

Xiliang's control over Huzhou itself was weak, and Huzhou was located on a plateau with mountainous terrain, and it was difficult for iron cavalry to attack, so the Xiliang court had to discuss countermeasures other than sending troops to suppress it. Judging from the tone released from various places, the current plan of the imperial court is to send people to negotiate peace, and first come up with enough benefits to stabilize those people in Huzhou.

However, the affairs of Huzhou in the south have not yet been resolved, and there is another turmoil in Qiangzhou in the east, and some tribes say that the wind and snow are too big this year, and too many cattle, horses and sheep are frozen to death, and they refuse to pay the annual tax. The Xiliang Imperial Court ordered that half of the annual tax could be paid temporarily, and the remaining share would be made up in the next year. But those tribes didn't even want to pay taxes for half a year, and the king of Daqiang watched from the wall, and the Xiliang court could only personally send tax collectors and guards to collect taxes.

The tax collector had just arrived in the first tribe and was warmly received by the local herdsmen. It was night, and the tax collector was very drunk. The next day, a beautiful girl cried to the Khan of the tribe that she had been defiled by the tax collector's yurt when she had been pulled in by him the previous night. The Khan immediately went to the tax collector to confront him, but the tax collector naturally denied it, and the khan asked the girl to confront the tax collector, and the girl insisted that the tax collector had done the beast thing. The tax collector said, "I was not the one who defiled you last night." But Lord Ben is high-spirited, pity you young and innocent, don't think you have lost your virginity, is it okay to accept you as a concubine?"

The tax collector originally wanted to calm the matter, but unexpectedly, the people of the grassland took this as a humiliation, and several strong herdsmen rose up in anger and knocked down the guards who stopped in front of the tax collector, and a young warrior stepped forward with a knife and cut off the tax officer's head with a knife. Instead of punishing the young warriors, the Khan hung the heads of the tax collectors outside the tribe's gate, saying that the tribe could perish, but not be humiliated, and that they would live only for themselves and would no longer be subject to the jurisdiction of Xiliang.

Together, there were many followers of the grassland tribes, including the big tribes such as the Sky Wolf Tribe, and hundreds of tribes on the grassland sounded the horn of freedom, indicating that they were ready to meet the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The king of Daqiang did not control these tribes and ordered them, but only let the tribes that had not yet rebelled to herd sheep and horses, and not act rashly.

Seeing that so many tribes on the grassland rebelled, the Xiliang court immediately raised troops to attack, and 100,000 iron horsemen stepped through the snow-covered hills and the glacier that had not yet melted all the way to the grassland, fighting with the rebellious tribes.

The war in Qiangzhou was first ignited, and the chaos in Dizhou broke out again. The bandits who originally occupied the mountains everywhere became even more rampant at this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to gather most of the troops and go to Qiangzhou one after another, and plundered assets in all directions.

The small city where Hong Chen had just arrived had been sacked by a gang of bandits just a day earlier, and the dried cheese and preserved fruits that many families relied on for the winter had been robbed. The hotel where Hong Chen stayed was also robbed of a carriage of things, including almost all the ingredients of the hotel. So after Hong Chen stayed, even if he had money, he couldn't buy fresh food.

In the backyard of the hotel, Hong Chen, who had just finished chopping firewood, was feeding grass to the snow. Next to him, Lei Feifeng was sitting on the edge of the well, biting a piece of Chen Debangbang's hard black jerky, and the green tendons on his forehead were all up, so he gnawed off a small piece of his finger, chewed it in his mouth, and spit it out "wow", and scolded: ", this meat tastes so sour!"

"You will eat it. Hong Chen said, "Don't complain, in this city, everyone can barely keep their own rations, and no one has extra food to sell." Besides, we don't have a lot of silver. ”

"Mahler, I can't eat it anyway!"

Lei Feifeng has never been able to learn internal skills, and his mood is already extremely poor, so in a fit of anger, he threw the jerky back.

"Oops!"

A cry of pain sounded, Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng both looked over, but saw that the innkeeper had closed his eyes, his expression was distorted, he was covering his forehead with one hand, grinning his teeth for a while, and there was black jerky as hard as a stone at his feet.

Hong Chen hurriedly stepped forward to make amends, but the innkeeper put down his hand, and saw that his hands were full of blood, and immediately drove Hong Chen away: "Hurry up and let me go! Go, go, go! I see that you two are pitiful, let you chop wood to pay for the room and meal, and you still hit me with stones? I won't do your business! Go, go!"

So Hong Chen and Lei Feifeng were driven out by the innkeeper, and as soon as the two of them and one horse came out of the yard, the gate was closed with a "click". Lei Feifeng turned around and scolded loudly: "Male, it's not a stone, it's the jerky you gave us to eat!" There was no response from the courtyard.

Hong Chen couldn't open his mouth to beg the innkeeper to let him go back, rubbed his empty stomach, and sighed twice.

Lei Feifeng scolded the courtyard again, then turned to Hong Chen and said, "Teacher, take me to eat something delicious!"

"Where is there anything delicious?" Hong Chen looked into the distance, "Xueli Fei hasn't rested yet, I can't ride fast, and the nearest market here has to walk for half a day." ”

"Teacher, let's go and eat from the bandits who robbed this city!" Lei Feifeng said, "The whole city has been robbed of delicious food, with the teacher's martial arts, we only need to know where the bandits are, and we can go to them for a full meal! No, not a meal, the teacher pulled the knife, volleyed a few times, kept them so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and sent us a few carts of food." ”
