Chapter 239 Intelligence Update, Yulin Bamboo Roots ( words, please subscribe)
The God of Spring is angry!
Chen Jie's eyes suddenly widened, and the last major acupoint was blasted open with a bang. The next moment, terrifying energy immediately protected Chen Jie's head.

The giant python swallowed it in one gulp, and the next moment it was staggered by the strong energy, and its mouth was bleeding.

When the giant python saw that its prey was alive again, it suddenly became anxious and exerted all its strength on Chen Jie, making his body crackle.

However, at this moment Chen Jie's whole body was shocked, and suddenly a terrifying force made it impossible for him to restrain the giant python. He could only increase his strength with a confused look on his face.

But no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't unblock the acupoints. Chen Jie, who had recovered his strength, had no power.

At this time, Chen Jie shouted angrily: "Open!"

"what!"

As Chen Jie's voice rang out, bursts of aura emerged from Chen Jie's body. The aura spread, and a powerful force emerged from Chen Jie's body. Chen Jie struggled hard.

The giant python couldn't hold Chen Jie.

This giant python is actually very powerful, and its strength should be around the level of Hua Jin, because when Chen Jie was struggling to break free, he found that there was a mysterious force flowing inside the giant python's body.

It seems like Gangqi, but it is not Gangqi. Could it be demonic power?
Chen Jie thought of a word: demonic power.

All things in the universe have their own spirituality and can absorb the spiritual energy of the universe.

People practice martial arts, cultivate qi, and achieve immortality.

The demon uses the sun and moon to nourish its demonic power in order to gain eternal life.

The heaven and earth will not block any living creature's upward aspiration, so there will be super ferocious beasts like the Wudang Black Turtle and the Dadu Treasure Elephant, which are comparable to the top-notch human martial arts. Of course, they can no longer be called ferocious beasts, but spiritual beasts.

And no one knows how much sun and moon energy this giant python has absorbed to have such a body.

The demonic power of Hua Jin is still very strong in its body. The demonic power is the black tortoise and the precious elephant. This is the reason why such a spirit beast can reach the furnace realm and be at the top.

And because their bodies are so huge, their strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

If Chen Jie had used Hua Jin today and had not learned Changchun Gong, then Chen Jie would have died in Shekou today.

Chen Jie tried it out and found that ordinary Hua Jin warriors were not as powerful as the giant python. They were entangled by the python and could not break free at all. They would definitely be strangled to death by it and could not break free.

But Chen Jie is a powerful person in the Baodan realm, and he has also learned the Changchun Gong.

When Chen Jie used the Wrath of Spring God, his strength was almost reaching the threshold of Wolf Smoke Realm.

At this time, Chen Jie slowly increased his strength, and saw that the giant python's body became looser and looser, and finally it allowed Chen Jie to break free.

open!

With a snap, the python let Chen Jie break free. At this time, the huge snake head was full of disbelief and looked at Chen Jie blankly, because in its consciousness, how could any creature be able to break free from its restraints.

How could he possibly break free?
But before its small head could react, it found that its tail had been suddenly grabbed by someone.

The python immediately turned over and opened its mouth to bite Chen Jie.

But Chen Jie was not in a hurry. He grabbed the snake's tail and swung it hard. With a snap, it was like a loud whip, and the snap sound rang throughout the cave.

This immediately alarmed the creatures in the cave.

Plop la la...

Chen Jie felt a restless sound coming from above, so he quickly took out a fire starter from his storage ring.

Huh, huh...

After blowing twice to light the fire stick, Chen Jie saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

At this moment, he saw that the top of his head was full of black bats as big as millstones, flapping their wings in the air.

It turned out that it was Chen Jie's swing just now that startled them.

Chen Jie looked at the bats in the sky, and then looked at the ground around him. It was covered with white bones, both human and animal.

This place is like a large slaughterhouse.

Chen Jie looked down at the dying python on the ground.

Chen Jie had read some introductions to later creatures and knew that this giant python was called the reticulated python. It had 1,800 bones in its body, 600 of which were vertebrae. The connections between their vertebrae were very fragile. Chen Jie's just-moving blow directly broke all the vertebrae on the python's body.

It can be said that the giant python is now completely paralyzed, unable to move, and is only one step away from death.

Chen Jie looked at the giant python, then raised his head to look at the ceiling of the cave, and saw that the bats had become active, flapping their wings and ready to swoop down at any time.

Chen Jie knew that something was wrong and that there was danger, but the giant snake in front of him was obviously a treasure, and it was a pity that he couldn't take it away.

Chen Jie waved his hand, and a short knife appeared in his hand. Chen Jie found the python's vital point and stabbed it with the knife. The python's head was shaking in pain, but unfortunately all the vertebrae in its body were broken. At this time, it could not stand up straight and could not move.

The arrogant look just now was completely gone, and he became a lamb to be slaughtered.

This is how the world is, the strong prey on the weak, and everyone is prey to each other. When you think you are a hunter, you don’t know that in perhaps a moment, you will become food.

This is the law of nature, the strong prey on the weak, there is no reason or logic at all.

Chen Jie cut a seven-inch hole with his knife, then slashed upwards along the seven-inch hole, instantly ripping the python's belly open. Chen Jie aimed at the gallbladder in the python's belly, cut it off with a knife, and threw it into the iron ring.

The gallbladder of the python that condenses the demonic power is a very precious medicine. Even cultivators in the Baodan realm and the Langyan realm can use it.

It is an excellent product for alchemy.

It can be said that the most valuable part of this python is its gallbladder. If this python is worth ten taels of silver, nine taels are worth more than the gallbladder.

Of course, this is a metaphor. This kind of python is considered a precious snake if it is placed outside and is worth a fortune.

Chen Jie took the snake gall. Maybe the sound just now startled the bats in the sky, or maybe the smell of the python's blood attracted these bats.

Suddenly, I saw a group of bats flapping their wings.

Chen Jie was shocked when he saw this. He jumped up and ran away without caring about the giant python under him.

But at this time, all the vampire bats had been alarmed, and they all flew down and pounced on Chen Jie.

Chen Jie was shocked when he saw this.

There are so many bats here, probably thousands of them, we can't fight them head-on.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie ran away, trying to avoid the spotlight first.

However, in this dark space, if you try to run, you may not be able to outrun these flying bats.

At this time, Chen Jie was holding a tinder and looking around. Bats can't see anything with their eyes, they rely on echolocation, so it's no big deal to light up a little space.

Chen Jie looked around in the light and saw the passage where he slid down.

Chen Jie saw a big rock not far away, so he immediately performed the Thunder Step, stepped on the rock with his waist raised, and flew up into the air. He jumped to the entrance of the cave and hid in it.

The entrance of the cave was very damp and slippery, making it difficult to crawl.

Chen Jie was hiding at the edge of the cave entrance. He saw the group of bats flying down. After searching for a while, they quickly pounced on the giant python. In a moment, the giant python was eaten up by the group of bats, and became a pile of flesh-colored bones.

Chen Jie smacked his lips and had to say that these bats were really powerful.

But no bats came to attack me, which is good.

Chen Jie was thinking about it, looking at the winding passage leading to the top.

Chen Jie thought about it, and looked at the bats circling below, thinking that it would be useless for him to hide here and do nothing, so he might as well see if the road above could be passed.

Thinking of Chen Jie climbing up this narrow natural 'slide', the process was very difficult, but fortunately Chen Jie's strength had recovered.

Even though the passage was slippery, his skills were still very strong. He held on to the stone wall with his claws and climbed up step by step.

If you can see the path Chen Jie walked, you can see that wherever he walked, there are claw marks on the walls, the kind of claw marks left by fingers digging into the stone walls.

In this way, Chen Jie moved forward all the way, and it took him nearly an incense stick and a half to climb to the top of the cave.

Above was the thousand-pound boulder. Chen Jie supported the boulder with both hands, trying to push it open, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

The first was that this thousand-pound boulder was indeed quite heavy. Secondly, the passage was a slippery passage that sloped downward at sixty degrees. Chen Jie had no foothold and could not exert any strength at all.

Finally, there is the mechanism above.

The boulder weighs a thousand pounds, but with the mechanism added, it might weigh at least ten thousand pounds.

It is basically impossible for Chen Jie to push it open, unless there is someone above who can help him open it and let him out, but the possibility is very small.

It is estimated that Chu Tian and others will watch all this very closely in the next few days.

So where else can we get out except here?
Chen Jie thought about it and gave up on getting out of here. He walked down the road and returned to the original cave again.

Squatting here, Chen Jie looked around and found that the bats were full and had all returned to the top of the cave.

Chen Jie tiptoed down from the cave, holding a fire starter in his hand, and looked for an exit along the way.

This cave was indeed very large, with many passages leading to it. Chen Jie followed the water flow upstream to search for it. As he walked, he suddenly heard the rustling sound again.

Chen Jie was startled, and his mind immediately reacted: There is a snake!

Thinking of this, Chen Jie found a corner to squat down. A moment later, Chen Jie saw a python almost as big as the one that attacked him just now crawling towards him.

Seeing this, Chen Jie pondered for a moment, then secretly went behind the giant python and performed the Thunder Step silently.

The giant python seemed to have sensed the danger and suddenly raised its head. However, Chen Jie had already arrived behind it and grabbed its tail.

The python was frightened and turned around to bite Chen Jie.

Chen Jie was quick and swift. He swung the python with a snap and instantly broke all the joints of the python.

In an instant, the giant python lay limply on the ground. This place was a little distance away from the bat cave. Chen Jie waited for a while, and seeing that no bats attacked, he dragged the giant python's tail and walked forward.

Who knows how big this cave is? If we can’t get out for a while, we can still survive on the snake meat.

After walking for a while, Chen Jie saw a damp cave. He shone a tinder into the cave and saw a scene that he would never forget.

In this cave, there were dozens of two to three meter long pythons entangled together, their scales rubbing against each other, which looked terrifying.

Chen Jie looked at the giant python in his hand, and thought of the giant python in the cave that wanted to swallow him. Could these two giant pythons be the parents of these little pythons?

Thinking of this, Chen Jie dragged the python away.

And these little pythons are still there and didn't come out.

Chen Jie dragged the python forward. As he walked, a pool of water appeared in front of him, blocking the way.

Chen Jie frowned and squatted in front of the pool to check. He saw that the pool was surprisingly calm. Chen Jie frowned, feeling that this pool was not simple.

However, the cave is completely blocked here, and it seems that this is the only way I can go.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie squatted down and looked at the pool again. As he looked, Chen Jie discovered something strange.

The edge of the pool seems to be brighter than this side.

Chen Jie pondered for a moment and felt that there might be a light source there, and the light source was most likely connected to the outside, and the sunlight outside was shining in.

Thinking of this, Chen decided to go down to the pond to take a look.

However, this pool looks very dangerous. Chen Jie seemed to see some animal bones at the bottom of the pool.

Chen Jie thought about it and looked at the giant python behind him.

Then he took out the Qiuchan Knife, cut open the snake's belly, took out the snake's gallbladder, and then Chen Jie threw the python into the water.

The python's body was floating in the water, and its blood slowly dyed the pool red.

At this moment, the originally calm water surface began to become turbulent.

A fish swam over, showing its sharp teeth, and with a swish, it tore off a piece of snake meat, then the second, and the third.

Plop la la...

Soon the water seemed to be boiling, and the whole water was boiling and gurgling...

Countless fish rushed up and bit the python with their sharp teeth.

Chen Jie was also shocked when he saw these fish. Piranhas, yes, piranhas. Chen Jie recognized them. They were what later generations called piranhas.

Moreover, these piranhas are very large and have incredible killing power.

Chen Jie also felt his scalp tingling when he saw it.

But he quickly realized that this was a good opportunity. These fish were running towards the python, so he could reduce the target.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie took off his clothes and put them into the storage ring. Chen Jie didn't like wearing wet clothes.

Immediately afterwards, he dived into the water, but he was still worried about the piranha, so Chen Jie directly released his internal energy to protect his body.

In this way, Chen Jie shuttled back and forth in the pool, and then he saw countless piranhas rushing towards the giant python. The ten-meter-long python turned into a pile of bones in a short while.

What these piranhas eat is cleaner than what bats eat.

Chen Jie was swimming in the water. A piranha saw Chen Jie, swam over, opened its sharp teeth and bit him.

These underwater lunatics will bite anything that moves when they see it.

As for whether they can eat it or defeat it, these piranhas have never considered it.

At this time, the piranha bit him, and Chen Jie activated his internal energy and directly sent the piranha flying.

After the piranha flew out, it swayed in the water. Its head was dizzy and it didn't know what it had bitten and why it was bounced away.

Then he swam away leisurely.

Chen Jie didn't dare to hurt these guys. These things would go crazy when they saw blood. If Chen Jie had killed the piranha just now, the smell of blood from the piranha would instantly attract thousands of piranhas, and they would take a bite each.

Chen Jie didn’t know if he could withstand it.

So Chen Jie just flicked it away and told it that it wasn’t tasty.

In this way, Chen Jie flicked away a piranha and continued to swim forward. Occasionally, he would encounter other piranhas, but after Chen Jie followed the same method, he was able to pass them all smoothly. He quickly swam to the opposite wall of the cave, and then Chen Jie discovered that under the wall, there was actually a passage leading to the outside.

The passage is not wide. It should be a crack in the mountain caused by an earthquake.

Chen Jie crawled into the crack and searched inside. Soon he found the exit and swam forward along the passage.

Soon, Chen Jie saw the light, it was sunlight.

Chen Jie speeds up his swimming...

puff~
Finally, Chen Jie emerged from the water in one breath. The soft sunlight shone on Chen Jie's body, which was a little dazzling.

Chen Jie looked up and saw a big sun in the sky.

It seemed as if I appeared in a pond, and there were animals drinking water around the water. Suddenly, I found some creatures coming out of the pond, and they were all startled.

They all retreated and formed a defensive state.

Some even ran away.

When Chen Jie looked at this time, he found that this was actually a deep mountain forest. The forest was deep and quiet. Chen Jie looked around and it was definitely a primeval forest.

Chen Jie swam quickly towards the river. At this moment, Chen Jie suddenly felt something bit his foot.

Chen Jie looked down and saw a half-meter-long fish biting his foot, apparently thinking it was food.

Seeing this, Chen Jie grabbed it with one hand. The big fish was caught and swung its tail to struggle, but Chen Jie circulated the internal energy in his hands and pierced its head instantly. The big fish was killed directly and could not move.

Chen Jie swam ashore, and all the animals on the shore moved back.

At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded: "Ah~"

Chen Jie was startled and turned his head suddenly. He immediately saw a huge white tiger standing on the hillside, looking at this side.

Especially when looking at Chen Jie, he seemed to be wondering where this hairless monkey came from?

Hearing the tiger's roar, another roar was heard in the forest: "Ah..."

Chen Jie was stunned, and saw a giant gray wolf, which was larger than a Tibetan mastiff, appearing not far away.

Behind the giant wolf followed a group of wolves of various sizes.

The two sides stood on two cliffs, facing each other across the pool of water in between.

Chen Jie felt an extraordinary power from the two giant beasts. This powerful demonic power told Chen Jie that they were very dangerous.

Tread...  

Seeing the two monsters roaring and confronting each other, all the animals that came to the pond to drink water ran away in a puff of smoke.

Seeing this, Chen Jie didn't want to get into trouble, so he ran after the animals, while not forgetting to grab the big fish on the ground.

Then he ran into the depths of the forest.

Then, you can hear a series of wild beast roars coming from the other side of the pond.

It seems like a fight broke out.

Chen Jie didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned around and left. His top priority now was to find a way out and see how he could leave here.

The most important thing is that Chen Jie doesn’t even know where this place is.

If he was deep in the dragon vein, it would be difficult for Chen Jie to get out.

When Chen Jie went to the gray fog of Dahei Mountain in his hometown, he encountered countless dangers just by wandering on the edge. This time here, I am afraid there will be many dangers. I don’t know what the situation is outside now!

Chen Jie thought.

……

At this time, outside, Elder Quan was meditating and resting in the house. Although he successfully escaped from the battle with He Yishou today, he also suffered some minor injuries. Now he needed to take a good rest.

Elder Dog was regulating his breathing when suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps was heard outside.

Elder Quan frowned and looked at Chu Tian who ran in and said, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

Chu Tian immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master, something terrible has happened. Huangzhou Prefecture has begun to take action."

Elder Quan frowned and said, "What can Huangzhou Prefecture do?"

Chu Tian said: "Master, I don't know who came up with this move in Huangzhou Prefecture. It's simply cutting off the source of the trouble."

"I thought that even if our secret was exposed, given the current situation, Wang Baobao could only order the local authorities to keep a close watch to prevent the people from rioting."

"But I didn't expect them to actually order the people to be exempted from taxes this year, and they also said that all taxes collected would be returned within three months."

"As soon as this order was issued, the public resentment in Huangzhou Prefecture instantly dropped to the freezing point."

"The disciples we sent out to incite the people to rebel have come back to report that the people's enthusiasm for rebellion is extremely low."

"Even some people who had agreed to rebel a while ago, when they saw us, they said that the court promised to return their food rations and not to collect their taxes for this year, so they could still live, so they decided not to rebel!"

"what!"

Elder Quan stood up, frowning, and looked at Chu Tian and said, "How many people are still enthusiastic about rebellion?"

"One out of ten does not save one."

Chu Tian spoke.

As long as you give the Chinese people a little hope of survival and collect a little less tax from them, they will not take risks and risk their lives to rebel.

The people are always law-abiding and willing to work hard, but unfortunately not every official knows how to restrain themselves. They have no choice but to force the people to rebel and overthrow the regime.

This is the case with Huangzhou Prefecture. In the past, under Chu Tian’s high pressure, the entire Huangzhou Prefecture was on the verge of collapse.

But now, under Zhao Ya's policy, the entire Huangzhou Prefecture has actually begun to move towards self-repair.

This is something they don't want to see.

Just as Zhao Ya said, Chen Jiusi told her: Keeping the people safe is always the best way to quell a rebellion.

As long as you leave the people with food and a chance to survive, no one will think of rebelling, unless you force them into a desperate situation.

After studying with Chen Jie for some time, Zhao Ya immediately discovered the problem, so she had no choice but to choose to reassure the people.

This move immediately disrupted the government-forced rebellion that Chu Tian had worked so hard to create, which made Chu Tian very angry.

And the most crucial thing is, if they don't take action now, Zhao Ya might really use her softness to overcome hardness and break the plan they have worked so hard to set up for three years!

Thinking of this, Chu Tian looked at Elder Quan and said, "Master, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"

Elder Quan frowned and looked at Chu Tian and asked, "What do you want?"

Chu Tian said: "Master, since the officials don't force the people to rebel, we can only be the bad guys ourselves."

Elder Quan frowned and looked at Chu Tian and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Tian said: "Master, we can..."

"Well, this..."

Elder Quan heard Chu Tian's words and widened his eyes: "Is this possible? Isn't this a bit too immoral?"

"Master, the great cause is more important. For the sake of the Holy Religion, we need to bear some of the infamy."

"But……"

"Master, as long as you nod your agreement, you don't have to do the rest. I will do it for you."

Elder Quan was still a little hesitant, Chu Tian said: "Master, the Holy Religion is more important, the great cause is more important!"

Elder Quan said, "Okay, but each county is guarded by Darughachi's cavalry. If our people go down, it may not be possible!"

After hearing this, Chu Tian said, "Master, don't worry. According to the intelligence I got, Wang Baobao and his men have transferred all the black cavalry stationed in various counties to Huangzhou Prefecture to be responsible for the city defense!"

"So there aren't enough garrisons in the area. We can just send some people down there. There won't be any resistance."

Chu Tiandao.

Elder Quan said, "Who has moved all the Black Cavalry into the city? They are very smart. They know that if these troops are placed outside the city, they will be defeated one by one. Now that they are combined, it will be a bit difficult."

After hearing this, Chu Tian said: "This Wang Baobao is indeed quite capable. Although it is difficult for us to defeat him one by one if he gathers his troops together, it is not a big deal."

"We can first capture the county town, gather the refugees, and then use them to attack the city. Hundreds of thousands of refugees will surround the Huangzhou city. Even if Wang Baobao has great abilities, how can he defend the city?"

After hearing this, Elder Quan nodded and said, "Okay, then we have to follow your plan. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Send someone to do it today. Within three days, you must find a way to incite the people to rebel."

"Within ten days, the troops will surround Huangzhou Prefecture and wait for the King of Dharma to come and take Huangzhou Prefecture in one fell swoop."

"Complete our layout in the southwest region and reduce the pressure on the battle of the Central Plains leader and others."

Elder Dog spoke out the next strategic plan.

Chu Tian was stunned when he heard this and asked, "King Han Fa will arrive in ten days?"

Elder Quan said, "Well, I just received a letter from the King of Dharma, saying that she will come to Huangzhou Prefecture after she finishes handling the affairs in Xuzhou. It will take about ten days. By then, we hope that we can make preparations. When she comes, we can directly attack the city and save some time. She is also needed to provide support in the Central Plains."

After hearing this, Chu Tian said, "Great, great. As long as King Han Fa arrives, the He Yishou in the city will no longer be a problem."

"By then, we will have the advantage in terms of high-end combat power, and we will also have hundreds of thousands of refugees, as well as Master's army of ferocious beasts. With so many factors at our disposal, I really can't imagine why Huangzhou Prefecture cannot be conquered!"

After hearing this, Elder Quan said, "Well, A Tian, ​​if we really take down Huangzhou Prefecture this time, you will be the first to achieve the credit. I will ask the leader for credit on your behalf. At the very least, I will give you a position as a branch leader, in charge of the military power along the way."

"If the leader shows mercy, maybe you can be given the title of honorary elder."

Chu Tian was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed and said, "It's all thanks to Master's cultivation. I will do my best to live up to Master's orders!"

Elder Dog was very satisfied and said, "Okay, let's get to work."

Chu Tian clasped his fists and immediately left the room where Elder Quan was.

……

At this time, Huangzhou Prefecture had entered a level one combat readiness state. Wang Baobao ordered all the darughachi in the prefecture to lead their elite cavalry to Huangzhou Prefecture.

Zhao Ya was stationed in the prefectural government office, handling all matters in the city.

Zhao Ya sat in the prefect's office, looking at the memorials in her hands, scratching her head in exhaustion. There were so many troubles in the county that she racked her brains. Moreover, some problems would be difficult to solve even if she used up all her brain cells.

At this time, she really missed Chen Jiusi.

What he was thinking in his heart was: If Chen Jiusi were here, these problems could definitely be solved easily.

Thinking of Chen Jie, Zhao Ya became a little dazed. Although they had not known each other for long, in such a short time, Chen Jie had given her very different experiences.

And he gave her a very reliable feeling, as if as long as he was by her side, nothing was impossible.

As Zhao Ya was thinking this, she saw Wang Baobao coming back angrily, followed by his deputy general Huo Bima.

"Sir, calm down, calm down."

Huobi Ma persuaded Wang Baobao.

"Calm down! How can I calm down? These bastards treat the imperial court as their own home. They eat the empty salary and suck the blood of the soldiers. I wish I could kill them!"

"This matter is not over yet. I will definitely report it to the court and seek justice!"

Zhao Ya was processing official documents when she saw Wang Baobao coming in so angry, so she asked, "What's wrong, Third Brother? Why are you so angry?"

Wang Baobao shouted angrily: "What's wrong? Sister, you don't know, these county darughachis are extremely corrupt, I will deal with them sooner or later."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at Huobi Ma and asked, "What's going on? Why is your master so angry?"

Huobi Ma then handed the booklet in his hand to Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, please read it yourself."

Zhao Ya started flipping through the booklet. She was shocked when she saw it.

"Why are there so many people missing?"

Wang Baobao said: "How else could I be so angry? Yaya, look at this!"

"These bastards have wasted all the money the court has paid! This matter is not over yet!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "This shortage is indeed quite serious."

In the entire Huangzhou Prefecture, there were eight counties, except for Mianshui County, and a total of 500 black cavalry were sent to Huangzhou Prefecture, not one less.

The black cavalry from other county governments were simply a joke.

In Huanggang County, out of the five hundred Black Cavalry, only three hundred were left.

Huangpo County, three hundred and fifty people.

Macheng County: 200 people.

Most of the other counties only have one or two hundred soldiers, and the most infuriating one is Yong'an County.

There were only fifty black cavalrymen left in the entire county, and the Darughachi of Yong'an County even sold all the cavalry's equipment and horses. It can be said that he was extremely bold and arrogant.

Look at the gaps in front of you.

Wang Baobao was filled with rage. Zhao Ya was also looking at the list in the booklet. There were only 1,800 people in the eight prefectures, which was more than half of the full staffing of 4,000 people they had predicted.

Such a big gap made Wang Baobao extremely angry.

At the same time, I also feel deeply powerless.

At this time, Wang Baobao looked at Zhao Ya and said, "I took a look. Apart from the 500 cavalrymen from Mianshui County who are barely usable, I'm afraid half of the remaining cavalrymen under the command of the Darughachi are unqualified. Some of the cavalrymen have been drained of their bodies by alcohol and sex. How can they fight in that state?"

"Third brother, how many people do you have available now?"

"About 3,500 men, but to defend Huangzhou Prefecture, at least 5,000 cavalry are needed."

"Where can we find the remaining soldiers?"

Wang Baobao was a little worried. Zhao Ya asked, "Can't we use the soldiers from Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Wang Baobao said: "Most of them are just to make up the numbers, they are useless."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "1,500 people, Third Brother, in addition to the people, are the equipment complete, armor, and horses?"

Wang Baobao said, "We have all of these. There is no shortage of them. Except for that bastard in Yong'an Prefecture, no one else is bold enough to steal and sell the imperial army's horses and weapons. If we pool the money from several government offices, we can get 1,500 sets of armor and war horses."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Oh, if that's the case, I can help you solve the problem of soldiers."

"Yaya, this is no joke. Fifteen hundred well-trained elite soldiers are not that easy to find."

Zhao Ya said: "It's okay, I have a way."

Wang Baobao said, "By the way, Yaya, is there any news from my godfather?"

"Oh, I was just about to say this. Our people met Master Turtle on the road. Master Turtle said that he had been collecting some food in the surrounding prefectures these days, and would come to Huangzhou Prefecture to provide support in ten days."

"Ten days later? Well, with Master Turtle and Master Crane, we don't need to be too afraid even if the Zoroastrianism sends out Dharma King-level warriors."

"Well, so Third Brother just needs to train well these few days, and don't worry about the rest."

Wang Baobao said, "That's great. I'll just listen to you."

Zhao Ya stood up and immediately walked out of the prefectural government office. He did not go anywhere else, but came to Chen Jie's residence.

……

"Where's Madame?"

Xiao Hu came to Su Yunjin's door and knocked, but no one answered. After a while, Yin Hongmei came out and looked at Xiao Hu and said, "Master Hu, Madam is resting. What can I do for you?"

Xiaohu said, "Someone wants to see the madam."

"Master Tiger, didn't Madam say that we won't see any guests in the mansion?"

Xiao Hu said, "It's not someone else, it's the princess. You also know the relationship between the princess and the gang leader. It's not right for her to not meet him."

Yin Hongmei frowned and was about to speak when she heard a cough from inside the room: "Ahem, Huzi, ask the princess to wait for tea in the living room, I'll go right away."

"Ah, ma'am, your health won't be a problem."

As he spoke, Su Yunjin forced himself to stand up and went to meet Zhao Ya in front.

"Mrs. Su."

Zhao Ya cupped her fists towards Su Yunjin, who bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Princess."

Zhao Ya glanced at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam Su is very polite. What's the matter with you, Madam?"

"It's okay, it's just an old problem. By the way, what are you doing here, my husband is not at home. There are some things that need to be discussed after my husband comes back."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Madam, I'm afraid this matter can't wait until Jiu Si, so you have to make the decision."

"I?"

Su Yunjin looked at Zhao Ya in surprise. Zhao Ya said, "It has to be Madam."

"What's the matter?"

Su Yunjin was also surprised. At this time, Zhao Ya said, "The city is short of soldiers and horses. We need to borrow 1,500 elite soldiers from the Fishermen's Gang to fill the Black Cavalry to solve the urgent problem..."

Su Yunjin's face turned serious after hearing this.

Xiaohu behind him also widened his eyes. Borrowing 1,500 elite soldiers from the Fishing Gang and adding them to the Black Cavalry was a huge deal.

Su Yunjin was silent, and looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, my disciples of the Fishermen's Gang are all from Mianshui. After they joined the Black Cavalry?"

Zhao Ya said, "If you want to stay, then stay. If possible, I can report to the higher-ups that these 1,500 people will be under the command of Jiu Si in the future to guard Huangzhou Prefecture."

Su Yunjin's eyes lit up when she heard this. After all, she had heard her husband covet the black-armored cavalry more than once. However, it was almost impossible for a gang to own the black cavalry.

Whether it is armor or war horses, they are all controlled items strictly controlled by Daqian, and it is very difficult to obtain them.

This is an opportunity now, but if 1,500 people are inducted into the Black Knights and cannot return, the foundation of the Fisherman's Gang will be damaged.

It can be said that this is a situation where opportunities and crises coexist.

Xiaohu didn't dare to speak easily at this time, for fear that he would make the wrong choice and be blamed by his brother Jiusi when he came back in the future.

After a while, Su Yunjin suddenly said, "Okay, I'll take charge of this matter. Xiaohu, according to the leader's order, have Zhou Chu send 1,500 people to Huangzhou Prefecture, and the vacancies will be filled by the reserve army."

Xiao Hu was stunned, but seeing Su Yunjin's resolute look, he clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Madam's order."

Su Yunjin clenched her fists at this time, her mind full of what Chen Jiusi said to her: "Madam, if one day I am not around, you must take good care of the household for me, and make decisions quickly. If you hesitate, you will suffer the consequences."

……

At this time, in a valley, Chen Jie was holding a grilled fish wrapped in a huge banana leaf. He ate while walking. Soon the whole fish was eaten by him. At this time, he had already walked around the foggy forest.

Then he also discovered that there was a man-made mechanism in a valley, and the wild beasts here seemed to be trapped inside by the mechanism.

It was a huge stone. Chen Jie tried to push it but couldn't. However, through the stone, Chen Jie heard the sound of someone walking inside.

The stone blocked a huge cave entrance. If we could push the stone away, we might be able to leave here.

Someone said that there must be a way inside, and Chen Jie could escape from here as long as he pushed the boulder away. Unfortunately, the boulder was too heavy.

Chen Jie tried it and felt that he needed to at least reach the Wolf Smoke Realm to push the boulder away.

If he can't reach the wolf smoke state, Chen Jie can't leave here.

However, it is not easy to reach the Wolf Smoke Realm. To enter the Wolf Smoke Realm, Chen Jie needs Wen Yun Dan. To refine the Wen Yun Dan, Chen Jie is still missing the main ingredient, Yulin Bamboo Root.

But where can we find the Yulin bamboo roots?

Chen Jie had a headache. In this way, Chen Jie was trapped in this valley for six days. When the sixth day came.

An intelligence panel appeared in Chen Jie's mind.

The ten-day cooling-off period is up, and Chen Jie can get three more designated pieces of information.

Chen Jie was gnawing on a grilled fish at this time. He immediately chose to refresh the information and specified the information he wanted.

[Intelligence system updated (level 3)]

[1. You specify the information to leave this place. You get the information that this is the dragon vein of Qinling Mountains and the misty forest. If you want to leave, you can push the huge rock under the south mountain to the outside of the mountain.]

[2. You specified the information about Yulin Bamboo Roots, and got the information that there are Yulin Bamboo Roots in Baihulin.]

[3. You specify the information, the location of Baihu Forest. Get the information, go west for miles from here, turn right for miles and you will reach Baihu Forest!]
