Chapter 25 Possible Crisis

(storing, storing)

And everyone in the black-clothed guard thought that it was because Zhao Jingxiu had broken through and reached the Bone Refining Realm that his master handed over the Taizu Long Fist and the Ten Styles of Blood Battle to him, so they didn't say anything one by one.

Who let them not know that Shangguan Qiuyu could clearly know everyone's loyalty, and Shangguan Qiuyu didn't explain so much to them, but told everyone that as long as anyone broke through and got his approval, they could become a member of the escort team.

This made everyone happy, and they all broke through as soon as possible so that they could enter the escort team as soon as possible.

After all, the escort team follows its own master every day, and if there is anything good in its Shangguan Qiuyu, it will definitely be distributed to the escort team first.

This made them not blush, especially those who joined later, they saw that Zhao Jing had also entered the escort team, which made them feel a lot more at ease.

Shangguan Qiuyu's unintentional move made the newcomers completely eliminate the estrangement with the black-clothed guards in their hearts.

Moreover, the members of the Black Guard rarely put on a show when teaching them, but instead passed on some of their experience to the newcomers, so that they could master the moves faster.

"Tell me about the distribution of forces in Tianyun Lake this day, especially in our vicinity, the more detailed the better. ”

"Yes, master"

Zhao Jing said to him after a moment of tidying up:

"Master, as far as my subordinates know, there are a total of twenty-eight large and small forces in this Tianyun Lake, among them, there are three of the most powerful, namely 'Tianwolf Village, Tianyun Village and Cao Gang', and the three of them control the three entrances and exits of Tianyun Lake.

There are no less than 3,000 people in each of their forces, and all of them are not weak, their subordinates are all elites, and the leaders of the three families are also at the peak of the physical training realm, as for whether there are strong people in the acquired realm, their subordinates don't know.

It is useless to ask for ransom from the subordinates under the three families, the subordinates are not very clear, and the first three families are still subordinate to the two leaders of the big boss and the second leader mentioned it a year ago. ”

Seeing that Zhao Jing knew very little, Shangguan Qiuyu asked with some disappointment:

"You're not from Jishui County?"

"My subordinates are from Sanchuan County, and I came to Tianyun Lake more than a year ago. Zhao Jing replied honestly.

Shangguan Qiuyu frowned and said:

"Then why do you know what are the water houses near you, right?"

"The subordinates know that in addition to the master you are already preparing to attack, there are still four forces around you, and three of them are weaker, and the number of people is about seven or eight hundred.

And the last one farthest away from us is a family called Jishui Village, they number more than 2,000 people, and all the forces in our north have to pay money to Jishui Village every year for peace.

I heard that the head of the family of Jishui Village is a woman, but the subordinates have not seen it, but they will send people down to collect money every June, and those who can't pay the money will not be protected by them, so they will be swallowed up by the water village around them. ”

"Female water thief?

"By the way, where are the three families in the Heavenly Wolf Village, and how far are they from us?"

"All three of them are gathered in the south, and they are not real water cougres, they are mainly helping merchants transport goods.

They generally don't care about the affairs of the Tianyun Lake water robbers, unless there is a family that threatens their status, otherwise they won't take care of the normal life of the Tianyun Lake water robbers. ”

"I see" When Shangguan Qiuyu heard Zhao Jing say this, he understood, and his initial worries and caution were superfluous.

At the same time, Zhao Jing said:

"Tianyun Lake, where we are located, is the junction of the waterways of Tianyi County and Tianshui County and the three counties of Tianyong County, close to the Nanban gathering place.

A hundred years ago, this Tianyun Lake can be said to be a gathering of merchant ships, and the special products produced by Nanban need to use waterways to pass through Tianyun Lake, so as to transport them to Jingzhou and even the Central Plains.

However, because the imperial court used troops against the Nanban, the Nanban retreated more than 3,000 miles, and now about half of the counties and counties in Jingzhou were taken from the Nanban.

At this point, the original advantage of Tianyun Lake was lost, and it was also because the imperial court got a large piece of land in the hands of the Nanban.

Subsequently, the imperial court issued a farming order, which caused the water to be drawn and even half of the population of Tianhui County was sharply reduced, so that the Tianyun Lake completely declined. ”

"Press?"

This Zhao Jing didn't know much about the power of Tianyun Lake, but he had a deep understanding of the topography and history of Tianyun Lake and even Jingzhou, which made Shangguan Qiuyu a little puzzled.

Zhao Jing thought about it and said very mysteriously:

"Master, I think that the power of Jingzhou will change greatly in the near future, if the master can capture one of the three forces before the big change and grab a ferry, the master's power will definitely grow by leaps and bounds in a short time after the big change. ”

Suddenly, Shangguan Qiuyu said coldly:

"Who are you, and why do you know this?"

Seeing that his master suddenly questioned himself coldly, Zhao Jing was startled, and hurriedly explained honestly:

"My subordinate is just a foreigner who fled from Sanhe County, and the reason why he knows this is because he kindly saved an old scholar, and the old scholar told me before leaving.

And it was precisely because I listened to his words that I came to Tianyun Lake to try my luck, wanting to take refuge in a powerful water village first, so that I could have the opportunity to change my fate when the time came.

Originally, I was going to join the Cao Gang, but I heard that the three Cao Gang families did not accept outsiders, so I didn't go, but I was forced to join them by the big leader and the second leader not long after I entered Tianyun Lake. ”

"Sanchuan County is very close to Nanban?" Shangguan Qiuyu said.

Zhao Jing said with a sad face:

"Very recently, in the past few years, the Nanban has invaded my southern Xinjiang city every year, and Sanhe County has almost been broken several times, and I have to flee out. ”

He really didn't expect that saying these words would cause his master to be dissatisfied, and at the same time, he couldn't help but scold the old scholar who told him these words in the first place.

'Could it be that the Nanban is about to invade on a large scale?' Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help but think of this possibility in his heart, and at the same time, his head was bored.

After a long while, he shook his head and said to himself:

"Whatever! Anyway, when the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, I am now a small role, and there are no more than a thousand people, this kind of thing of protecting the family and defending the country is still left to the tall one!"

Looking down, seeing Zhao Jing kneeling on the ground with a frightened face, Shangguan Qiuyu looked puzzled, and then thought that he was afraid that his face was not good just now, which made him think about it.

So, he helped him up and smiled:

"Get up, you're good, you know how to think about me, it's good. ”

"Master Xie" saw that Shangguan Qiuyu did not blame himself, but praised himself, and Zhao Jing's big face immediately piled up like a chrysanthemum.

At the same time, he suddenly seemed to think of something, so he said with a worried face:

"Master, in one month, it will be time for the people who draw the water village to come and collect the money, if so"

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Qiuyu waved his hand and interrupted, and said to him:

"Don't worry, maybe they will be the ones who pay the money when the time comes!"
