Chapter 1 Threat
Zhang Cheng'an abandoned the city and fled, and the Yaocheng soldiers who were abandoned by him will naturally no longer be loyal to him.
A night attack made Xiao Yu have one more county and more than 7,000 soldiers.
In just seven days, Xiao Yu got two counties in a row, and her strength soared more than four times.
Xiao Yu was cautious. After his power soared, the first thing he thought of was to train his 16,000 soldiers into an army that really obeyed his orders.
This is a process of digesting forces and laying the foundation for the future.
During the day, Xiao Yu personally trained those soldiers in the barracks of Maxi City, Yao City and Yangshan City. At night, he was reading various military books and all kinds of information about Yunshan County that Gao Cheng helped him collect.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.
Not long after Xiao Yu came out of the barracks, she saw a strange master of perpetual life on the second floor of the restaurant at the nearest street to the barracks.
It's a strange master who looks less than thirty, but his hair is white.
When Xiao Yu looked at him, the strange master nodded gently to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu frowned slightly and said in a low voice to Zhang Baonian and Zhang Younian who were following him, "You wait here. I'll go up and have a look."
Zhang Baonian and Zhang Younian looked at the master, nodded, and jumped off the horse with Xiao Yu.
The name of this restaurant is Fudelou. Although the business is usually good, it is nothing now.
After entering the restaurant, Xiao Yu waved her hand to the smiling shopkeeper and went straight to the second floor.
There is an elegant room on the second floor, but the strange master is not in the elegant room.
Walking slowly to the strange master, Xiao Yu arched his hand and asked, "I don't know where this Taoist brother came from? What do you do when you come to Yaocheng?
"Please sit down!"
The strange master did not reply to Xiao Yu's words, but asked Xiao Yu to sit down first.
After Xiao Yu sat down, the master poured a glass of wine for Xiao Yu and asked with a smile, "I heard that the descendant of General Xiao's Medicine King?"
Xiao Yu nodded, picked up his glass and looked at the strange master and asked, "Brother Dao came to Yaocheng. He should have come to find Xiao!" I don't know why my brother came to Xiao? If it can help, Xiao will definitely not refuse.
The strange master nodded and smiled, "Before talking about things, Yin introduced himself first. Yin is from Yinshan, and friends in the cultivation world generally call Yin the ninth son.
Xiao Yu frowned gently, looked at Mr. Yin and asked, "Mr. Jiu from Yin Mountain? Atonement Xiao has little knowledge. Xiao remembers that there is only one ghost cave in Yinshan, and there is no cultivation school or a family to avoid the world.
"Yin said that Yinshan is a blessed land of Yinshan!"
"Yinshan Fudi? Mr. Jiu, please atone for your sins. Xiao has never heard of Yinshan and a Yinshan blessed land.
"Who said that the blessed land of Yinshan must be in Yinshan? Isn't Yaowang Mountain Fudi in Lushan?
Xiao Yu nodded, but did not ask where Yinshan Fudi was.
He picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine. Xiao Yu quietly looked at Mr. Yin Jiu and waited for the other party to speak.
Mr. Yin Jiu also picked up the glass and took a sip of wine. After looking at Xiao Yu, he smiled and said, "General Xiao was born in the cultivation world. I don't know much about the cultivation world?"
"The King of Medicine has never participated in the cultivation world, and his ancestors have not told Xiao much about the cultivation world."
Mr. Yin Jiu nodded, looked at Xiao Yu's eyes and asked, "Is General Xiao willing to listen to Yin talk about something in the cultivation world?"
"Xiao listened attentively!"
Mr. Yin Jiu pondered for a moment, and then talked about the disciples of various blessed places going down the mountain to accumulate merit.
"Although there is no lack of the power of incense belief in each blessed land, and the disciples in each blessed land can absorb the power of incense belief to cultivate, they need some power of incense belief that is very easy to refine when breaking through. The power of these incense belief can only be obtained by the practitioners who need to break through. Therefore, Every blessed place will send some disciples down the mountain to accumulate virtue every once in a while.
Xiao Yu nodded and interrupted, "It's like medical practitioners use practicing medicine as a means of making a living. No matter what these blessed disciples go down the mountain to do good, they are always right to do good."
Mr. Yin Jiu gently raised his sword's eyebrows and then said, "In order to make it more convenient for the disciples to do things when they go down the mountain to accumulate virtue, they have made friends with some secular forces. The Tang family in Tianfu County has a close relationship with Shushan."
"Does the Tang family have anything to do with Shushan? This, Xiao really hasn't heard of it.
"If it hadn't been for the Tang family's relationship with the blessed land of Shushan, the Ming Dynasty would never have allowed the Tang family to arbitrarily expand the power of the Tang family in Tianfu County."
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and said with a faint smile, "Although Xiao knows that the cultivation world has a great influence on many things in the secular world, he didn't expect that the influence would be so great."
"The cultivation world is a world that overrides the secular world, and of course has a great influence on secular things."
Xiao Yu agreed with Mr. Yin Jiu's words, but he did not refute it.
After taking another sip of wine, Mr. Yin Jiu continued, "If that secular force offends the blessed place in the cultivation world, even if this secular force is not destroyed, it will be difficult to have a chance to expand in the future."
"Real?"
"General Xiao doesn't believe it?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Xiao understands that there are many forces in the cultivation world that have the ability to influence the situation on one side. However, since ancient times, how many of the forces that have disappeared have disappeared due to offending the major forces in the cultivation world? The cultivation world is just a world separated from the secular world. If the secular world is over, the cultivation world will be over. Therefore, in the cultivation world, I don't think there are people above the cultivation world over the secular world.
Mr. Yin Jiu frowned, looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Do you think Yin is exaggerating the influence of the cultivation world on the secular world?"
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and did not answer.
Seeing that Xiao Yu did not mean to answer, Mr. Yin Jiu continued, "If the cultivation world did not have such a great impact on the secular world, these mountain thieves in the southwest would have been destroyed long ago."
"The reason why there are many mountain thieves in the southwest is not because the forces of the cultivation world support those mountain thieves, but because the world has not been unified yet. If you have a little understanding of history, you should know that even in the southwest, when the world is unified, there are very few mountain thieves.
What has happened in history is irrefutable, and Mr. Yin Jiu can't refute Xiao Yu's words.
After a long silence, Mr. Yin Jiu suddenly stared at Xiao Yu's eyes and asked, "Did General Xiao destroy the group of mountain thieves in Yangshan in order to attract Liu Jinshan out of Yangshan City?"
Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Xiao's purpose of destroying the group of mountain thieves in Yangshan is indeed to attract Liu Jinshan out of Yangshan City. However, after destroying those mountain thieves, Xiao felt that those mountain thieves deserved to die."
"Yin wants to ask General Xiao a question. If there are a lot of mountain thieves in the area you killed in the future, will you still kill them like the mountain thieves in Yangshan?"
Xiao Yu put the wine glass in her hand to the side of the table and looked at Mr. Yin Jiu and said in a low voice, "That depends on the situation. If they should kill, Xiao will kill them all."
"In the southwest, there are many mountain thieves. If General Xiao is like this to the mountain thieves, once the mountain thieves unite to deal with General Xiao, it will be difficult for General Xiao to go in the future."
"Although Xiao has only more than 10,000 soldiers, he is not afraid of those mountain thieves."
Mr. Yin Jiu's eyes flashed with a sharp light and said in a low voice, "General Xiao is not afraid of those mountain thieves. Isn't he afraid of the Yinshan blessed land behind them? If General Xiao wants to take revenge, he should not offend too many people.
"Haha!"
Xiao Yu laughed twice and replied indifferently in front of Mr. Yin Jiu's eyes, "If the ancestors knew that in order to avenge him, Xiao did not kill him when he met the person to be killed, they would not recognize Xiao."
Mr. Yin Jiu's face darkened, and he looked at Xiao Yu with a little coldness and asked, "General Xiao really wants to do anything against Yinshan Fudi?"
"Xiao didn't think about who to be against, but only did what should be done."
Mr. Yin Jiu's eyes flashed. He stood up and said in a low voice, "Since General Xiao is so ignorant of current affairs, Mr. Yin will leave."
"No delivery!"
Seeing that Mr. Yin Jiu was ready to leave the restaurant directly from the second floor, Xiao Yu said in a low voice, "Mr. Jiu should know what kind of magic soldier Xiao is using! In his spare time, Xiao will shoot off the evil birds that harass the people with a divine bow.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Mr. Yin Jiu's body stiffened, turned around and stared at Xiao Yu for a moment, and walked towards the stairs step by step.
After leaving the restaurant, Mr. Yin Jiu looked at Xiao Yu, who was looking at him, and quickly disappeared into the street.
"What kind of cultivation school is this Yinshan Fudi?"
Staring at the direction where Mr. Yin Jiu left for a long time, Xiao Yu turned around and walked to the stairs.
After returning to the general's mansion, Xiao Yu sent someone to call Li Shan over.
Among the three unifications abandoned by Zhang Cheng'an, Li Shan had the highest prestige in the army, so Xiao Yu made him a partial general in the Yaocheng garrison.
"What's the matter with the general looking for his subordinates?"
"Sitting down first!"
"General Xie!"
After Li Shan sat down, Xiao Yu pondered for a while and asked, "Have you ever been in the army for 22 years to eliminate mountain thieves?"
Li Shan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "As far as I know, the army in the southwest and those mountain thieves have always been well water."
"Do you know why this happened?"
Li Shan pondered for a while and said, "I don't know, but as far as I know, the generals in many places have a lot of friendship with the thieves around them."
Xiao Yu frowned gently and then asked, "Those guards and the thief's head are not afraid that their soldiers have a problem with each other?"
Li Shan hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile, "There are not many soldiers who have a grudge against the mountain thieves. Those guards will not care about the feelings of these soldiers."
Xiao Yu nodded, pondered for a while, looked at Li Shan and said with a smile, "If you have nothing to do, just stay here for dinner!"
"Thank you, General!"
Xiao Yu nodded with a smile and motioned Zhu Xin, who was waiting on the side, to prepare dinner.
At dinner time, Xiao Yu just chatted about something in Yaocheng and didn't ask any more questions about the mountain thieves.
