Chapter 239: News
Liu Zhifei quickly brought back the new instructions of the Shaking Heaven Sect, and recently there have been frequent incidents of murder and robbery near the Rongchang, and it is said that as many as twenty or thirty monks have died in interception, and there are many cases of an entire caravan being ambushed and looted, which makes many lonely merchants and even large and small caravans who participate in the Rongchang mutual market panic.
After the news came, Chen County of Mengyu County, Cheng Zhenren of Huyao County, and Lang Guzhen of Lingzhang County respectively ordered the border squads to be under martial law, and patrolled the surrounding areas with the field as the center to ensure the safety of the merchants and caravans participating in the mutual market.
"There are really people who brush the tiger's whiskers, this field is covered by three real people, intercepting and killing people who go to the market of the field, isn't this obviously hitting the faces of three real people!"
"The True Human Realm cultivator is not an immortal, he doesn't have three heads and six arms, how can he take care of everything, and it is inevitable that he will be taken advantage of by some Xiaoxiao, besides, there are still us now!"
"Also, almost every village in Mengyu County has been sent by caravans to participate in the mutual market, and we can be regarded as defending the township!"
The 20th Frontier Squad quickly took action, but the actions of the 20th squad were not made of great fanfare, but surprisingly unanimously chose to operate covertly.
Zhuang Guangyu once asked Liu Zhifei why he was so low-key, but Liu Zhifei laughed and scolded him as a fool, and said: "If it is a large-scale action, wouldn't it be a sue to those bandits to hide quickly? If this is the case, where will we go to suppress the bandits?"
Zhuang Guangyu is used to playing treasures in the team on weekdays, and he speaks a lot more bluntly, jokingly: "Brother Fei, I think it's better to scare all these people away with fanfare, not to mention that there are no war merits in killing these bandits, how many of them can be bandits, they are desperate, they don't have much net worth, and they can't get much loot, and most of these people are outlaws, and it's not worth it to hurt one or two of our own family members when the time comes!"
Zhuang Guangyu's words actually hurt morale a little, if he really encountered a life-and-death battle, he would be beheaded with these few words, but some bandit cultivation was really not taken to heart by them, and it didn't hurt to make some jokes between words.
Liu Zhifei directly threw a peach he had just picked up in his hand according to Zhuang Guangyu's skull, seeing that he was smiling and dodging away, Liu Zhifei scolded: "You kid has itchy skin, you have a lot of mouth!"
Immediately, Liu Zhifei's face turned straight, and everyone laughed when they saw this, only to hear him say solemnly: "Do you know why it was so secretive in advance? Hehe, I just want those bandit cultivators to rob it, what about after they rob it, hehe, understand?"
After the bandit cultivators robbed it, it was natural that we snatched it from the bandit cultivators again, and by the way, the bandit cultivators were killed, so that the materials in the hands of the bandits naturally fell into the hands of the border monks, and listening to Liu Zhifei's meaning, the border team obviously did not intend to return these cultivation materials to those who were robbed.
Those who can come to the field to participate in the mutual market, whether it is a lone merchant or a large or small caravan, which one of them is empty-handed, the bandit cultivator will not return empty-handed, then the border team that suppresses the bandits will naturally make a lot of money, and there is no need to worry about having a bad reputation.
However, Yang Junshan always felt that something was wrong with this, so he tried to ask, "This is an order issued by Chen County?"
Liu Zhifei glanced at Yang Junshan and said, "This is an order from the sect!"
After a pause, he added, "Senior Uncle Chen, that is also an elder of the sect!"
Liu Zhifei didn't add this sentence later, but when he said this, it made Yang Junshan mutter in his heart: What does the added sentence mean, does it mean that Chen Jizhen, as an elder of the Heaven-Shaking Sect, must obey the order of the Heaven-Shaking Sect, or does Chen Jizhen, as an elder, also be one of the decision-makers who gave this order?
However, Yang Junshan chose to be wise not to ask at this time, but the rest of the team still had some worries.
Liu Zhifei could naturally see the worry on their faces, but he still said: "Before the operation starts, no one is allowed to leak the news of this operation, otherwise don't blame Liu for not being a comrade!"
The worries on everyone's faces were even worse, but they heard him continue: "Of course, Zai Xia is not a ruthless person, if you really encounter the bandit cultivators who robbed and killed the caravan of your respective villages, we naturally can't see death without help, but after the shot, this caravan must also have something to say, and we can't let the brothers shoot in vain!"
When everyone heard this, their faces turned gloomy, and they all said, "What the team is talking about!"
But everyone was still muttering in their hearts, if their own family ran into their own village's caravan, it would be okay, but what if other family's squads ran into it? If there were no monks from their own village in that team, wouldn't they be robbed and killed by bandits in vain, and then taken by border guards in the name of suppressing bandits?
Especially like Yang Junshan or Zhuang Guangyu, some forces in the family have participated in the mutual market on an extremely considerable scale, and they are even more worried, lest they encounter robbers on the way back from the field, and people like Xiong Xiyi and Ning Ran are calm, and they don't know if it is because their families have already known the order and are prepared, or because they think about the power of their respective families, they are not afraid of the so-called robbers at all.
For now, the only way to do this is to pass on the news as much as possible, but Liu Zhifei had been prepared before, and after the previous verbal warning, the next thing was to ground everyone and not allow him to leave the stronghold for half a step, not only the third squad, but also all the twenty border squads.
But Yang Junshan was thinking more at this time, accumulating money, and what Yang Junshan saw in his eyes at this time was that the Shaking Heaven Sect was constantly accumulating money, and even gradually approached the bottom limit of unscrupulous means.
Today's Yang Junshan is different from the closed boy who was trapped in Mengyu County in his previous life, over the years, with the operation of Yang Tiangang and An Xia in the caravan of Xishan Village, Yang Junshan can often hear a lot of news outside Mengyu County, and even the situation of the entire Yuzhou cultivation world can also understand a thing or two.
Therefore, in addition to the events he personally experienced, such as the red rust rough stone, Wang Zhenren's raid in Chenyu County, the extermination of the Sun family of Jinyu County Magistrate, and the mutual market of Chen Zhenren in Mengyu County, Yang Junshan also knew that there were many large and small incidents in the other three counties of Yu County, all of which were related to the wanton accumulation of wealth without exception.
But the Shaking Heaven Sect did this, and even put on a posture like exhausting the water and fishing, why in the end?
Yang Junshan, who had experienced the disaster of exterminating the sect in his previous life, inevitably wondered in his heart whether the Heaven Shaking Sect had sensed that the crisis was approaching, and all these methods were preparing for the coming of the crisis?
But in fact, the more Yang Junshan understood the shape of the entire Yuzhou cultivation world, the more he doubted the reason for the destruction of the Heaven Shaking Sect in his previous life.
Because even though the Heaven Shaking Sect has greatly declined compared to a thousand years ago, it is still the out-and-out first sect in Yuzhou, and it has almost no rivals in the entire Yuzhou cultivation world!
The scourge of the demon clan? The invasion of foreign clans? The forces of various sects in Yuzhou rose up to attack? These are all jokes!
In the previous life, on the eve of the destruction of the Heaven Shaking Sect, the demon clan had just shown its clues, and the foreign races had only just been concerned by the cultivation world, and the Heaven Shaking Sect had been destroyed.
In fact, in the collapse of the Heaven Shaking Sect that he experienced in his previous life, although there were sect forces under his jurisdiction who turned against each other, and there were also internal remnants of masters who set up their own doors, but the high-level monks of the entire Heaven Shaking Sect were wiped out in a very short period of time.
And after the extremely rapid collapse of the Heaven Shaking Sect, the other sect forces in the Yuzhou cultivation world had a period of rapid development and prosperity in a very short period of time, which was undoubtedly based on the plundering of the Heaven Shaking Sect.
In Yang Junshan's view, there are two doubts that are always difficult to solve: first, it is impossible for the high-level monks of other sects in the Yuzhou cultivation world to strangle the high-level monks of the Heaven-Shaking Sect in such a short period of time, although there are still remnants, it is no longer a climate; second, even if they are strangled, the high-level monks of the other sects in Yuzhou will not be unscathed, but in fact, after the collapse of the Heaven-Shaking Sect, the forces of the various sects did not use the resources of the Heaven-Shaking Sect to restore their vitality, but instead ushered in a short-term prosperity and development and expansion of their power, which is even more strange!
Of course, there is also a point that Yang Junshan had noticed earlier, that is, the remnants of the Heaven Shaking Sect have not been strangled by other sect forces, and although the two sides are hostile to each other, they have never vendetta against each other.
After thinking about it, Yang Junshan became more and more convinced of the thought that flashed in his mind earlier, could it be that behind the collapse of the Heaven Shaking Sect, there was really a stronger strength outside Yuzhou to intervene and behead the high-level monks of the entire Heaven Shaking Sect?
For example, Yang Junshan had the privilege of hearing about it in his previous life, but he had never seen a Taoist realm cultivator!
Since the grounding, the third, fifth, and seventh teams of thirty monks are not allowed to go out in the stronghold, and the three teams of the inner disciples of the Heaven-Shaking Sect are in charge, but the rest of the people can still move around in the small courtyard of the stronghold at will.
Yang Junshan stood in the small courtyard and patted his forehead as if he was a little sleepy, and when everyone was not paying attention, a faint golden light streak flashed on his forehead, and then Yang Junshan leaned against the wall and yawned loudly, and then returned to the living room to practice as if nothing happened, in fact, he was sleeping.
And in the woods miles away from the stronghold, behind a leafy grass, suddenly a behemoth stood up, the pattern on its body seemed to be integrated with the surrounding scenery at first glance, and it was enough to make everyone gasp when they looked closely, but it was a giant tiger with hanging eyes and white forehead that was almost a foot long!
Whoo, two white breaths erupted from the giant tiger's mouth, and three feet away in front of him, a faint figure suddenly appeared, but it was a little girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Oh, don't rush, I've got the news!" the little girl shook a small note in her hand and smiled proudly.
