Chen Qi didn't talk nonsense, dropped one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and asked the owner of the inn to quickly put on the best carriage and hurry away.

The owner of the inn said in his heart: "These silver taels are enough for me to buy a new carriage, and a guy doesn't have much oil and water, and it is estimated that if he encounters a chaotic soldier, he will only be beaten up at most, so as not to worry about his life." Let's just send these two young men and women to Tiandu County, they want to find a way to die at home, and they don't dare to do anything about me, not to mention their bearing, maybe they still have something to do with the rebels in Tiandu County, and they may not die. ”

The owner of the inn summoned a clever man, carefully admonished a few words, and then let the man put on the carriage and sent Chen Qi and Xun Yuzao on the road.

Chen Qi usually only robs the carriage, where is the opportunity to take the car, before he left the city, he also bought a lot of food, compared to the previous days of displacement, Chen Qi at this time, is quite satisfied.

After going on the road, it only took seven or eight days to get out of the boundary of Duliang County and enter the jurisdiction of Tiandu County. The guy had already been told by the innkeeper to refuse to leave when he got here. Chen Qi didn't embarrass him, he drove the carriage all the way forward and put the guy back.

Chen Qi drove the carriage for a long time, and saw that the people on the roadside were many times more desolate than Duliang County, and many villages were empty, obviously either affected by the war, or they all fled. Although Chen Qi was used to being a bandit, when he saw this kind of scene, he couldn't help but sigh, and said to Xun Yuzao: "If all parts of Tiandu County are in such a situation, even if they are thieves, they will not be robbed, won't they all starve to death?"

Xun Yuzao didn't know that Chen Qi had done a ** without capital before, so he just said: "It's not good here, let's go somewhere else, and it doesn't matter." ”

When Chen Qi was in Tianma Mountain, he heard many old thieves who had accumulated years say that Tiandu County was so powerful that with the help of a demon king, he refined 30,000 divine soldiers, and he didn't even listen to the orders of the imperial court. At that time, I was still very envious, and I felt that Tiandu County was like a paradise, able to rob at will, and there was no imperial court to control it, it was the place that these bandits dreamed of, so they would flee for their lives and think of this place.

But when he arrived in Tiandu County, he found that this place was very different from what he imagined, and everywhere it was ruined after the destruction of the war. Even if he wanted to rob it, there was no one to rob it, and he was a little weird. He had never thought about what was wrong with being a bandit before, it seemed that there was an endless world of fat sheep, and he grabbed a batch, and there was a batch, and there was an endless life. But after coming to Tiandu County, I found that after the essence of this robbery, there was no one to rob.

Xun Yuzao spoke, Chen Qi didn't listen to it, drove the carriage all the way forward, walked for a day, and finally saw a city that was still in good condition, and there were soldiers walking back and forth on the city. Chen Qi said to Xun Yuzao: "There is some danger here, I will put you in the ancient tower first, so as not to cause trouble." After speaking, he didn't ask for the little fox's opinion, and as soon as he raised his hand, Xun Yuzao was included in the ancient tower.

The Taishou of Tiandu County rebelled a few years ago, but he was a demon king, incorporated many monsters into the army, and used evil spells to refine a team of "divine soldiers", which repeatedly resisted the crusade of the imperial court. As mentioned in the previous document, the Dayun Dynasty has been on the side of the imperial power, stealing from all walks of life, and bureaucrats in various places have been constantly ordering from the court, appointing and dismissing officials on their own, mastering taxes, and even holding military power, many rules have long been abandoned.

Tiandu County has been rebelling for many years, but he is also obedient, just guarding the land of Tiandu County, and does not leave the jurisdiction of this county. If he is strong in other places, he will not be willing to pay attention to it and let him toss it himself. For the sake of the imperial court, it is not only not beneficial for these heroes, but because of the conquest of traitors, the troops are consumed, and they are attacked by other heroes and strong, or even the court will issue a decree to deprive the military power.

The order of the Son of Heaven of the Great Cloud Dynasty can no longer go out of the land of a state, although it has repeatedly sent some soldiers and horses to attack, but it is not an elite soldier. After all, the Son of Heaven of the Great Cloud Dynasty not only had to beware of the princes from all walks of life, but also beware of external humiliation, and the little troops on hand did not dare to spread too far.

Because of this, the Taishou of Tiandu County can still hold the land of this county, but because of the repeated battles, not only the people have fled, but even if many cities are ruined, and many villages are uninhabited. Tiandu County has four prefectures and 19 counties, which is more than half smaller than Duliang County, which is already barren, and after the war, it is naturally even worse.

The county seat that Chen Qi and Xun Yuzao came to, named Xiaopei, is one of the 19 county towns in Tiandu County, with a population of only tens of thousands, but after the war, it has dropped by more than half, and now it is less than 15,000. Because this is not the front line of the conquest, Tiandu County is too guarded by Zhao Mancha, and only more than 300 soldiers are left here.

The big car driven by Chen Qi looked pretty good, and the soldiers at the head of Xiaopei City saw it from afar, and they were all happy, and at that moment a lieutenant rushed out with forty or fifty people, and shouted loudly from afar: "Where did you come from, the spies, don't get out of the car and be bound!

Chen Qi secretly said in his heart: "These people are even more fierce than my brothers in Tianma Mountain, it's okay to rob people, and they still have to be charged with being a spy, is this to prevent leakage of news, do you want to kill people?"

Chen Qi fought martial arts, and took out a steel knife from the five yin bags, this steel knife was selected by him from the armor of the beast king battalion, the quality is good, the cold light is shining, and the knife is in hand, Chen Da is a big man is a shout: "I am a good man in Tianma Mountain, I specially came to vote for the county guard, don't wait for the frame, the steel knife in my hand is not vegetarian." ”

The soldiers laughed together, and the leading lieutenant even laughed and scolded: "There are still people who come to join the army, I don't wear the hat of a traitor, I can't live anywhere, I have already eloped." Who wants to stay in this place where they don't even have enough to eat? If you want to join the army, just offer this cart and its contents. ”

Chen Qi didn't care about this big car, and secretly thought in his heart: "I originally heard that everyone in Tiandu County is a robber, and everyone is a bandit, and they must be ten times more prosperous than Tianma Mountain." Who would have thought that there would be too many thieves, and it would be a difficult situation, robbing everything and leaving no one to eat. He shouted: "I don't have any nostalgia for this big car, but I just ask your brothers, who can lead me to see the county guard?"

The leading lieutenant jumped up from the war horse, flew into the carriage, ignored Chen Qi, and immediately shouted: "This carriage belongs to our battalion, whoever brings this good man who has joined the army into the city first." ”

Chen Qi followed these sergeants, and after entering Xiaopei, someone threw him a set of dirty clothes and armor, and no one asked him where he came from, so he accepted him Chen Qi.

Chen Qi originally prepared a lot of rhetoric, you know, even if it is Tianma Mountain Village, not everyone can come in, and they always have to vote for their name and kill the mighty stick or something. The military discipline in Xiaopei County is extremely corrupt, and no one cares about it, so Chen Qi was allowed to mix in casually, and no one cared about him at all, whether he was innocent or not.

Chen Qi took this set of shabby clothes, but he didn't dislike it, so he changed his upper body, when he was in Tianma Mountain, no one washed clothes, and the thief he wore was not as clean as this set of clothes. Although the situation in Tiandu County is very different from what Chen Qi imagined. He originally thought that as long as he joined the army, he could rob at will in the county, and the official was a thief, and the thief was habitual, and the thief and the official were one, wouldn't it be happy? If today, there is nothing to rob in the county, and it is not very fun to be an official and a thief, but Chen Qi still wants to stay here.

Chen Qi didn't have much to go to, although Tiandu County didn't seem to be a good place, but this little thief also thought: "As long as there is a place to stay, so that I can practice Taoism, don't care about him." Even if it's ten times worse than this, it's not hard for me. ”

Chen Qi stayed in Xiaopei County for a few days, only to know that there were only more than 300 people here, and there were actually eight battalions of soldiers and horses. According to the military system of the Dayun Dynasty, thousands of people are battalions, 10,000 people are troops, although the number of people is quite unfixed, and the fluctuations up and down are also great, but these more than 300 people are not even enough for a battalion of soldiers and horses, and they can be divided into eight battalions.

The eight battalions of soldiers and horses stationed in Xiaopei County, the strongest Longwei battalion has more than 80 men and horses, more than ten war horses, and the weakest leopard tail battalion has only nine people, and even there are only seven war knives, and there are no horses.

Tiandu County guarded Zhao Mancha, and concentrated all his troops, wealth, grain and grass in the four prefectures, and basically left the 19 county towns alone, and even did not receive grain and grass. Therefore, the lieutenants of the eight battalions in Xiaopei County were unwilling to charge an extra mouth for eating, Chen Qi stayed here for a few days, but there was no one to subordinate, but it made this Chen master feel quite at ease.

After he had some understanding of the situation in Xiaopei County, he no longer cared about the affairs of those chaotic soldiers, in addition to cultivation every day, he was cultivating, and he didn't even talk to others.

Chen Qi lived in Xiaopei County for more than a month, not only did he open up more than a dozen tricks in the Taishang Dragon Technique, but his skills were deeper. Even the mental method of the Fire Raven Array has condensed twenty-four groups of true fire seeds, and even firing fire feather arrows has figured out many methods. Moreover, all the Heshan Dao magic weapons taken from Wang Changsheng were all used to refine the Taishang Dragon Technique. Even the Iron Bone Gong broke through the sixth layer realm and began to march to the seventh layer.

Chen Qizi was very happy that his cultivation had risen sharply, these improvements were just step-by-step, and what made him quite complacent was that Chen Qi had gradually figured out another layer of changes in the Fire Crow Array, and comprehended the mental method of refining other tricks. His Fire Raven Array Mental Technique, after practicing the seventy-two fire apertures, could not go further, and could only condense the True Fire Seed. Chen Qi figured out again, if he couldn't refine the rest of the tricks, his body would have too many impurities and be too heavy, although he could transform into a fire crow, he couldn't fly, he was just a "turkey".
