In the early morning of the Southern Dynasty, the northern border, which originally seemed to be the most likely to be in turmoil, was calm, and those Northern Wei troops who surrendered because of the will of the Demon Sect all accepted the reorganization smoothly, and did not mutiniate because of the news of the past.

The Northern Wei side was also very calm, they had been adjusting their defenses, but because of the gap caused by the defection of a large number of troops, their defense line shrank in the direction of Luoyang, and even directly turned some fortresses into empty cities.

But at the same time, a huge storm is brewing in the center of Jiankang and the west of the empire.

The Demon Sect has continued to kill since leaving Jiankang City, and several noble clans and cultivation sites have already suffered from his slaughter.

No one knows what his next plan is, no one knows what exactly he wants to do.

But what is certain is that his realm has far exceeded the realm of the battle when he was in Jiankang.

He had faintly surpassed Miao Zhen and truly stepped into the realm of divine confusion that only the three saints of the Southern Heaven had truly set foot in in the past hundred years.

Even if there were many strong people restricting that day, in Jiankang City, the true disciple of He Xiu had already shown almost incomprehensible speed and strength, and now outside Jiankang City, who else could restrict the Demon Sect that was stronger than the true disciple of He Xiu that day?

And to the west of the empire, a "Crying Letter" is spreading frantically towards the depths of the Southern Dynasty.

"What are you crying about, I think this emperor Lao Tzu is too unkind, according to me, Lin Yi is still talking to him, and he will directly rebel. ”

In a horse market in Patong County, in a breakfast shop selling pancakes and batter, a man who was only a coarse literate horse tamer took a bite of the pancake and said viciously, giving people the feeling that he was gnawing on the meat of those nobles in Jiankang.

This kind of thing is not dared to be said in the capitals near Jiankang, but in this shop in Patong County, this rough man's words caused a lot of applause.

"I see that you are also a, saying the opposite, the bad guy also has a family business in Jiankang..."

"I've heard that General Lin Yi didn't get any benefits. His father's property was confiscated when Emperor Lao Tzu ascended the throne, last month Jiankang over there my cousin and their caravan came, and some people said that he lived in Jiankang City is a leaky broken courtyard, even he went to Nantian Temple to practice, it was not sponsored by Emperor Lao Tzu at all, but among his classmates there were nobles to support, otherwise he would not have the qualifications to join the army. ”

"Are you kidding? You don't even have the qualifications to join the army to fight?"

"You go to inquire and inquire, the son of a criminal is not registered in the army, and he wants to join the army to fight and make meritorious contributions, but there is no door, and he is directly blocked. ”

"This emperor Lao Tzu is indeed not authentic. At the beginning, the horse tamer who directly said that the emperor Lao Tzu was not kind muttered again.

"Don't say it's not authentic and opposite, I'm just, if General Lin Yi really raises troops to attack, who are you helping, are you going to fight back?" A horse dealer beside him heard this, and immediately couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"Then you still have to think about who is reasonable and I will help whom. Let me tell you, just for this reason, I will definitely help General Lin Yi. The horse tamer suddenly stared, his face turned red, he waved the pancake in his hand, and shouted, "Either General Lin Yi doesn't look down on me, and he won't let me join the army, otherwise there is really a shortage of people to pull people to fight, and I will definitely sign up." ”

"Come on, do you know how to use knives and arrows? A crowd burst into laughter.

The horse trainer was not angry at this time, he smiled.

In fact, a man like him knew that now it seems that there are not many cavalry in the Tiece Army, but the limited cavalry is said to be the remnants of the Chen family's golden crow cavalry, and those people are the world's first-class cavalry, not to mention the kung fu of horse assassination, that is, horse taming, which is not at all comparable to people like them who tame horses that usually tow carriages.

That's not the same thing at all.

However, after smiling, the horse tamer sucked half a bowl of paste, but still wiped his mouth and patted his chest and shouted, "We are naturally not qualified to train horses to fight, but don't people sell some strength to fight on this march?"

"That's doable. The crowd burst out laughing again.

"But then again, do you say that if this emperor Lao Tzu doesn't change his mind, will this battle really start?

"Then fight and fight, General Lin's crying book is not bad at all, Emperor Lao Tzu is not the throne that he snatched from the hands of the emperor Lao Tzu of the previous dynasty, if it weren't for General Lin Yi, I'm afraid that now our Southern Dynasty has lost half of it, is it possible that no matter what Emperor Lao Tzu does next, he will have to swallow his anger?"

A group of people were silent for only a moment, especially some men who had drunk morning wine even more loudly, "If you don't fight, think about it and feel sorry for General Lin Yi." ”

"This group of people, fighting is going to die. Some of the caravans from further east heard the clamor of these people, and the corners of their mouths unnaturally showed disdain.

In the minds of these people, these people from remote states and counties are too vulgar and unaware of danger.

If there were really the emperor's spies in this market now, these people would probably be recorded right now, and if there was a real war, these people would probably not have any good fruits to eat.

Naturally, these caravans from the rich counties in the east did not want to fight.

They have a family business, and since Lin Yi went to the party, those people in the party have also begun to do business in a proper manner, and the border trade business is no longer exclusive to those horse gangs. The border trade between Dangxiang and Tuyuhun has not yet been completely liberalized, and their caravans have already had countless business opportunities, if they are stable for a few more years, many merchants in the Southern Dynasties do not know how much benefit they will have.

But based on this, they felt that these vulgar men were too noisy, but their hearts were also towards Lin Yi's side.

In their opinion, the more important Lin Yi is to the Southern Dynasty, the more he should be appeased, such a hard meal, the appearance of eating is indeed too ugly.

At this time, no one paid attention, and in the corner of the steaming shop, a man in ordinary clothes quietly walked out quietly with a long package in a very low-key manner.

It is clear that the contents of the strip cloth package are either knives or swords, and you can see it just by looking at the shape.

It's just that in this kind of downtown area, there are really a lot of passing travelers with swords and swords, so this man with an ordinary face who only looks a little dusty can't be seen at all.

The man who quietly walked out of this shop was a little warm in his heart by the heat.

His name is Li Sanyu.

Everyone in this shop who was bulging at this time didn't know that Li Sanyu was a sergeant of the Tiece Army.

He was one of the hundreds of Tiece soldiers that Qi Zhuji was worried about.

The military orders he originally accepted were simple and simple, but it was difficult to say that they were really good.

That is, to return to his hometown and look for some people who are suitable for the Tiece Army.

Finding someone is very simple.

For example, the horse tamer who shouted just now that he would rather carry grain and grass for the Tiece Army is not bad.

It's just that to find the most suitable one, which can indeed satisfy Lin Yi and Qi Zhuji, is not a very simple thing in his opinion.

After all, the kind of person who is selected will become the darling of the Spirit Famine Era, and he should have a great chance to become a cultivator like him.

And for him and the rest of the Tiece Army sergeants like him, this kind of selection power should have belonged to generals like Lin Yi and Qi Zhuji, and now that they have this power, they must be more careful.

In fact, before returning to the township, he had been thinking in his heart, and he actually had a good candidate in his heart. It's just that it's been a few years since he left home, and those people in his mind are still there, and whether they can be the same as he imagined, but it's unknown.

Only now, this matter must be put on hold.

Although he was only half a day's way from his home now, there was one thing he needed to figure out first.

One of his colleagues, a Sergeant of the Iron Ce Army like him, appears to have disappeared nearby.

This seems to have something to do with a caravan that was staying east of the market at this time.
