Chapter 248: Great Harvest: The Pill Recipe for Entering Changhong Realm ( words, please give me a monthly ticket~)

"Your Majesty, please take a rest. We will withdraw first."

Elder Quan said to Han Miaozhen, then stepped back respectfully. Although he was older than Han Miaozhen, his status was Han Miaozhen's subordinate.

The structure of Zoroastrianism is one leader, two venerables, four Dharma kings, and twelve elders.

In theory, the religion is headed by two great venerables, who manage the four great Dharma Kings. The twelve elders are divided into groups of three each, all under the command of the Dharma King.

The three elders led by the Phoenix Han Miaozhen are the Chicken, Dog and Pig.

The areas under its jurisdiction include several southern regions including Hubei.

Elder Quan, her direct elder, quickly left the room and looked at Zhong Guang who was following him and asked, "Is Chu Tian not back yet?"

Zhong Guang said: "No, our people investigated. He challenged Chen Jiusi to a duel under the city and then left. Later, Chen Jiusi seemed to have chased him, and then there was no news about Chu Tian."

Elder Dog frowned: "Chen Jiusi, why is it still Chen Jiusi!"

Thinking of this, he felt extremely upset. He had a bad feeling that Chu Tian might be dead!
The dog elder raised his head, his eyes were cold as he said, "Pass on my order. From now on, if anyone from my Dog God tribe sees Chen Jiusi, they must kill him. If other tribes are willing to help, I will owe them a favor."

After hearing this, Zhong Guang clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will give the order right away! Issue an internal hunting order for Chen Jiusi!"

Elder Quan nodded slightly, and then said, "Well, keep a close eye on the situation in the city over the next few days. If there is any disturbance, report to me immediately."

"Yes, I understand."

Zhong Guang immediately agreed. At this time, Elder Quan looked at him and said, "Zhong Guang, since Chu Tian is not here, you will temporarily take charge of the rebel army. I hope you will not let me down."

"Yes, I obey."

Hearing this, Elder Quan glanced at Zhong Guang and said, "By the way, Zhong Guang, I once heard Chu Tian say that you always wanted to become my disciple?"

Zhong Guang was stunned for a moment, then he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

Elder Quan smiled and said, "Very good. I have eight disciples in my life. Chu Tian is the eighth. The others are not around because they have something else to do. I just want to take in a young disciple to pass on my legacy. I think you are a good one."

Zhong Guang immediately knelt down and said, "If the elder does not forsake me, I would like to take you as my teacher and serve you for the rest of my life!"

Hearing this, Elder Quan said, "Okay, very good. Since you are so sincere, I cannot refuse your honor. The day when Huangzhou Prefecture is conquered will be the day when I will accept you as my disciple."

"Thank you, elder!"

Zhong Guang immediately clasped his fists, and his eyes lit up. Learning from a master is very important for a martial artist. As the saying goes, a teacher is someone who teaches, accepts students, and resolves doubts!
For a martial artist, his master is the person who teaches him martial arts and provides him with shelter and resources. It can be said that Zhong Guang's martial arts talent is better than Chu Tian's, and he is also younger than Chu Tian.

Moreover, his family has a long history of martial arts and he started learning martial arts much earlier than Chu Tian. But even so, Chu Tian's strength is stronger than his. The reason is that Chu Tian comes from a famous family.

He is the disciple of Elder Dog and has inherited the unique skills of the Divine Dog Sect.

This has always made him envious, and he also hopes that one day he will be able to receive support from a noble person.

And Elder Quan is the noble man he has always dreamed of. If he can get his special treatment, his future promotion path will surely be smooth.

Elder Quan naturally knew the thoughts of warriors like Zhong Guang, and he seized on this point and used it as bait to motivate him to serve the Holy Church wholeheartedly.

Just like that, the two ended their conversation, and what followed was a stalemate between the two sides.

……

Soon, news came from Huangzhou Prefecture, saying that Wang Baobao and other court officials had gone crazy and had launched a large-scale purge in Huangzhou Prefecture in the past few days.

The main content of the activity is that the two elders, Gui and He, will lead their soldiers to investigate all the underworld forces in the city.

For a time, the entire Huangzhou Prefecture's underworld forces suffered a devastating disaster.

There are four major sects in Huangzhou Prefecture, namely the Hongjian Sect where Zhong Guang is located, and the Chunxiang Pavilion where Jin Yanzi is located.

And the Jiuxiaotang supported by the Darughachi Mansion.

As well as the Kunlun branch, the Yuquan Sword Sect, which was originally supported by the Prince Qi’s Mansion.

In addition to these four major sects, there are some small sects that failed in their fight for the major sects, including second-rate sects such as the Fishing Gang of Huangzhou Prefecture.

It can be said that in just one day, the Darughachi Mansion incorporated all the large and small sects in Huangzhou Prefecture with thundering means.

The arrogant Four Dragons and Eight Tigers of Huangzhou Prefecture were almost all blocked at the door and taught a lesson.

And there is almost no room for fighting back.

Because the two people who led the team to block the door were super powerful men in the Dragon Realm, the two elders Xuanbing.

The turtle prolongs life, the crane increases longevity!
Two leaders will stand at the gates of these big sects and ask one question: either surrender or die!
With just two choices, a sect was forced into a desperate situation.

What four dragons and eight tigers, it's time for you to make a choice, so, at once, the entire Huangzhou Prefecture, all twenty-one sects, big and small, were wiped out in one fell swoop.

All the disciples were recruited by Zhao Ya and Chen Jie to form the city defense army.

Almost overnight, the two of them recruited a martial arts team of more than 3,000 people, and this was after eliminating most of the diehards of their sect and selecting the team that could go directly to the battlefield.

This team is much more powerful than Huangzhou Prefecture's original city defense force. It is composed of warriors, the weakest of whom is at the Roulian Realm. The Liujin Realm is the main force, and there are more than 20 Huajin masters among them. There are even three strong men at the Baodan Realm.

These were originally the deputy leaders of these sects, but under the pressure of the imperial court, they had to choose their own way out and thus all surrendered.

It has now been directly reorganized into the Huangzhou Prefecture City Defense Army, with Zhao Ya as the commander-in-chief and Chen Jie as the deputy commander-in-chief.

If it were in the past, when Chen Jie was still in the Baodan realm, he would definitely not be able to suppress these people. However, Chen Jie is now in the Langyan realm and can control these people.

There is a saying: money can suppress slaves, and skills can suppress ordinary people. For warriors, if you want to conquer them, it is actually very simple, as long as you are stronger than them.

The strength of Chen Jie and Zhao Ya is enough to suppress them so they can't make any trouble. In addition, Chen Jie also sent Xiaohu, who had broken through the Wolf Smoke Realm, to serve as a captain of a team.

As his direct deputy, Chen Jie controls one third of the team's strength.

In addition, although Zhao Ya is the head coach, he does not participate in any management matters. Therefore, Chen Jie is actually the real person in charge of this team.

Chen Jie was very optimistic about this army. After all, it was a team composed entirely of warriors and was much more powerful than his own White Tiger Camp.

Therefore, at Zhao Ya's suggestion, this team was named Qinglong Guard!
Wei is a military unit of Daqian. One guard has about 3,000 people and is divided into three thousand households. Therefore, Chen Jie now has an additional Qinglong Guard, which is composed of pure warriors.

Zhao Ya said that the ownership of the Qinglong Guard belongs to Chen Jie's garrison office.

Chen Jie was very satisfied with this. Hard work pays off. This army could save Chen Jie a lot of trouble.

This is the biggest gain from this cleanup operation in the city.

The second thing is the harvest of resources. In terms of resources, Chen Jie also reaped a lot. First of all, in terms of martial arts, all the martial arts secrets of more than 20 sects of all sizes in Huangzhou Prefecture were seized by the two elders Gui and He.

The two elders did not take these skills seriously, so Chen Jie got a unique opportunity.

Since the original copy had to be handed in, Chen Jie sent people to copy down all these skills, which became Chen Jie's foundation.

There were many good martial arts among them, and Chen Jie was deeply inspired after reading them.

The second are the medicines collected by major sects. These medicines are usually difficult to buy. Even Chen Jie was quite tempted when he saw them, so Chen Jie also secretly hid a lot of them.

Among them is a treasure that Chen Jie cares about the most.

It was a prescription seized from the Yuquan Sword Sect, a branch of Kunlun. After Chen Jie saw it, he immediately hid it secretly without telling anyone.

You want to ask what the prescription is.

Of course, it was the breakthrough pill recipe for advancing to the Changhong realm that Chen Jie had been thinking about, the [Hongxia Pill]

Chen Jie came to the side quietly and looked at the Hongxia Pill. The Hongxia Pill was the Broken Mirror Pill of the Kunlun School.

It can also be considered Kunlun’s unique elixir for breaking through the realm.

In fact, there are many types of realm-breaking pills, and almost every major sect has its own recipe for realm-breaking pills.

The Kunlun Sect's weapon for entering the Changhong Realm from the Langyan Realm is this [Hongxia Pill]

Chen Jie took a look and saw that Hongxia Dan required three main herbs and seventy-two auxiliary herbs in total.

Chen Jie took a look and found that the auxiliary medicines needed were all high-end medicines, some of which even included Yulin bamboo root, the main medicine of the [Qi and Blood Pill].

Such main medicine is only an auxiliary medicine in [Hongxiadan].

Chen Jie looked over and saw seventy-two kinds of auxiliary medicines. Chen Jie was able to get most of them, but the most difficult one to get was the Yulin bamboo root.

However, as for Yulin Bamboo Roots, Chen Jie is already free. There is not much else, except that he has a lot of Yulin Bamboo Roots.

Apart from the Yulin bamboo roots, Chen Jie looked at the auxiliary medicines and found that most of them could be collected. Some were difficult to collect. Chen Jie discovered that after wiping out many major sects in Huangzhou Prefecture this time, many major sects also had this kind of medicine in their collections.

If you put some together, you don't have to worry about the auxiliary medicines. Chen Jie can get all 72 kinds of auxiliary medicines.

It mainly consists of three main ingredients.

Chen Jie took a look and his eyes lit up, because he actually had the main ingredient needed for the [Hongxia Dan] in his hand.

[Wolf Pill of Wolf Smoke-level Ferocious Beast]

Chen Jie has this. Back then, he took a wolf pill from the gray wolf in the Misty Forest. That gray wolf was at the wolf smoke level, so it was just right for use.

In this way, he was only missing two auxiliary herbs to refine the Hongxia Pill.

Thinking about it, Chen Jie looked at the two main herbs he needed: [Seven-Colored Fruit] and [Kunlun Snow Lotus]

Seeing these two herbs, Chen Jie frowned slightly. Chen Jie had never heard of these two herbs. Chen Jie had never come into contact with the seven-colored fruit. As for the Kunlun Snow Lotus, Chen Jie had never heard of it. However, Chen Jie knew another kind of snow lotus, the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

I just don't know if there is any conflict between the medicinal effects of these two types of snow lotus.

Chen Jie thought about it and quietly threw the prescription into the storage ring.

At this time, Zhao Ya walked in and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, what did you gain?"

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Oh, quite a few. Look, this seems to be the sword techniques of the Kunlun School, and there are also mental techniques. These are considered treasures, right?"

Zhao Ya lost interest after taking a look. These sword techniques were already in their imperial arsenal.

So it's not that surprising. Zhao Ya said, "Well, these sword techniques are pretty good martial arts, but they're not very useful to me. If you like them, send someone to copy them and hand them in before the team is dismissed tonight."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Then immediately send someone to copy it.

Chen Jie followed Zhao Ya out of the Yuquan Sword Sect's study, and then found 50,000 shi of grain in their backyard warehouse.

Zhao Ya said, "There are about 50,000 dan of grain here. This is the last one. I just calculated that we have seized a total of 200,000 dan of grain this time. It should be enough for us to use for another ten days."

"Two hundred thousand koku?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "How could it be so little? These big sects usually store more than this amount of food."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "These bastards sold the grain to the Zoroastrianism at a high price a few days ago. The grain they have now is all the food they left for our sect."

"Jiu Si, I really didn't know until I checked. I was shocked. I didn't expect that the situation of collusion with the enemy in the city would be so serious!"

"Almost every one of the four major sects in this city has some connection with Zoroastrianism."

"Chunxiang Pavilion provides food to Zoroastrianism, Yuquan Sword Sect provides weapons to Zoroastrianism, and even Jiuxiao Hall, which pretends to surrender to Darughachi Mansion, is secretly selling war horses to Zoroastrianism. And Hongjian Sect is even a branch of Zoroastrianism."

"If we don't investigate this, I'm afraid the entire Huangzhou Prefecture might be swallowed up by someone without us even knowing it."

Zhao Ya sighed, she had never expected that the four major sects supported by Huangzhou Prefecture were such abominable existence. Chen Jie said, "Driven by interests, people's hearts are evil. Princess, please be more open-minded."

Zhao Ya said: "Eating the emperor's salary, being loyal to the emperor, these guys are really abominable."

"Well, Princess, calm down. After all, most of them have been beheaded. Princess, don't hurt yourself for a bunch of dead people."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "That's a good deal for them."

After saying this, Zhao Ya said, "By the way, Masters Gui and He asked you to be responsible for tracking down those escaped sect leaders in the city these days. You must not let them get away like this."

Chen Jie shook his head after hearing this, thinking that it was very rare to catch these masters in Huangzhou City.

That’s right, this time the two elders, Gui and He, swept across the entire Huangzhou Prefecture and almost uprooted the local forces.

Among them, the four dragons and eight tigers were almost slaughtered by the two elders, Turtle and Crane.

Among them were two of the four major sects' leaders, the leaders of the Jiuxiao Sect and the Kunlun Yuquan Sword Sect. They were all stubborn resistance fighters and were killed on the spot by Elder Turtle.

There is also a big boss who lives in seclusion among the Four Dragons.

Among them, the Bamboo Dragon was killed by Wang Baobao many years ago, and the other three dragons are the Plum Dragon, the Orchid Dragon, and the Chrysanthemum Dragon.

Among them, except Meilong who had left Huangzhou Prefecture and traveled around the world for three years, the others, such as Lanlong and Yujulong, were all under the control of the two elders Gui and He.

As a result, one of them died in battle and the other fled.

From then on, the four dragons of Huangzhou Prefecture, their deaths, escapes, and injuries, completely became history.

As for the Eight Tigers, most of them died in the battle. The only ones who escaped were the Sword Tiger Zhong Guang, the Climbing Tiger Sun Wang, and the leader of the Fishing Gang, the River-Blocking Tiger Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng and his son Zhou Yu were the ones who ran away the most thoroughly. When the two elders, Gui and He, arrived at the Fishermen's Gang, they found that the Fishermen's Gang, which was once second only to the four major sects, had completely fallen apart. There was no Fishermen's Gang disciple to be found.

In addition to the three tigers who escaped, there was another one who was pardoned by imperial decree.

That is the tiger golden swallow.

Jin Yanzi surrendered to the court on the recommendation of Chen Jie, and was temporarily assigned to Chen Jie by Zhao Ya, who arranged for her to serve as a captain of the second team of Qinglong Guard under his command.

At the same time, the court cancelled the wanted warrant for Jin Yanzi.

But Jin Yanzi looks a little different now. She is dressed in black with a white flower on her head. She is obviously in mourning.

Wulutai's body was found. Jin Yanzi looked at her husband's body and vowed to kill Chu Tian and Zhong Guang to avenge her husband.

So when the government wanted to clean up the four major sects, Jin Yanzi found Chen Jie first, disbanded her Chunxiang Pavilion directly, responded to the call of the court, and then found Chen Jie and asked her to help her once for the sake of their past friendship.

Chen Jie was a man who cherished old friendships, so he introduced her directly to Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya still had a broad mind. After learning about Jin Yanzi's request, she handed her over to Chen Jie and let her make her own arrangements.

Chen Jie was somewhat amazed when he saw the once glorious Jin Yanzi, now in mourning clothes. After all, there is a saying that goes, "A woman dressed in mourning clothes is pretty or not."

However, Chen Jie was not a person who thought with his lower body. In the end, he combined Jin Yanzi's military strength and appointed him as the commander of the Second Thousand Households.

The head of the 1,000th household is Chen Xiaohu.

In this way, Chen Jie directly controlled two-thirds of the power of the Qinglong Guards.

It can be said that Chen Jie gained the most from this internal purge in Huangzhou Prefecture.

In addition to the underworld level, since this purge campaign is carried out in the underworld, it is also accompanied by supervision in the officialdom.

Then more than twenty officials were brought down.

More than half of them were from the military system, including five thousand-householders, which was equivalent to a major reshuffle of the army.

As the garrison commander of Huangzhou Prefecture, Chen Jie naturally also participated in this major reshuffle.

Chen Jie also took the opportunity to promote several of his trusted subordinates.

As for who are Chen Jie's trustworthy subordinates, Chen Jie naturally went through some careful selection.

Chen Jie even secretly stuffed a few people in. For example, Chen Jie promoted a new captain named Bai Mosheng.

That’s right, it was the former military strategist of the fishing gang.

In addition, Zhou Chu was also promoted by Chen Jie, and is currently preparing to send people into Huangzhou Prefecture to begin gathering civilian forces and then develop the Huangzhou Prefecture headquarters of the Fishermen's Gang.

As for the fishing gang in Mianshui County, Chen Jie planned to let Liu Song, the son of Liu Laoguai, be the gang leader.

Liu Song's strength and wisdom are not enough to be a pioneer, but he is a good choice to be a defender.

In this way, the future development path of the entire fishing gang will be a scene where both the private sector and the government take action.

These include the Qinglong Guards, as well as Chen Wang and Chen Heng who are currently serving in the Black Cavalry. In addition, there is the Fishermen's Gang system, of which Zhou Chu is currently the leader, and Liu Song is in charge of the Mianshui base camp.

In the future, Chen Jie also plans to select his own confidants from the White Tiger Camp, train them, and then send them to the other seven counties of Huangzhou Prefecture to establish branches of the fishing gang.

In this way, even if Chen Jie completely controls all the power of Huangzhou Prefecture, as long as he is given time.

He could subtly make the entire Huangzhou Prefecture take the surname Chen.

This is the chess game played by Chen Jie. Why was he determined to help the imperial court deal with Zoroastrianism? The reason was simple: the imperial court was such an excellent platform. If a person wanted to display his talents, the most important thing was the platform.

Birds fly high when they follow phoenixes, and people become noble when they associate with wise men. So ability is one aspect, and who you play with is another.

Daqian is equivalent to a whale that is about to collapse, and Chen Jie is a shark that survives by devouring the whale's carrion.

If he didn't rely on the whale, he would just eat some small fish and shrimps, and when would he grow up? But if he followed the whale, just a piece of meat he bit off from the whale would be enough for him to grow a circle larger.

For example, during this trip to Huangzhou Prefecture, it had only been a short time, but Chen Jie had made a major upgrade from an idle position as a village chief to being promoted two levels to become the garrison commander in charge of military affairs in Huangzhou Prefecture.

What followed was a rapid expansion of power.

And if Chen Jie really just stayed in the small Mianshui County and served as the leader of a gang, when the world's powerful forces came to crush him, he could only become a frog in the well who was laughed at by others.

So times have changed, adults.

In this era, we must stand in the right line. Only by standing in the right line can we develop rapidly.

Crisis and opportunity often coexist.

Chen Jie has experienced many life-threatening situations, which is why he has such a bright future today.

After such a vigorous purge campaign, the entire Huangzhou Prefecture's army became more combat-effective.

And it completely united the entire city's defense system, and all of a sudden, the city's defense capabilities increased by several levels.

After seeing this gratifying result, the two elders, Gui and He, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Chen Jiusi still has some knowledge. The cohesion of our entire team has been directly raised to a higher level, and defending the city has become handy!"

Although Wang Baobao felt that Chen Jie might be taking advantage of the internal purge in Huangzhou Prefecture for selfish reasons in order to expand his own power, what Wang Baobao really needed now was a combat-ready team to defend the city.

Chen Jie performed very well. These days, he almost always led the troops to guard the city walls of Huangzhou Prefecture.

The rebel army would launch small-scale attacks on the city every day, but they were all resisted by Chen Jiusi and his Qinglong Guards.

Qinglongwei proved his fighting ability.

Wang Baobao was very satisfied with this.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the two forces inside and outside the city were like two giant beasts, waiting for the enemy to reveal a flaw, and then kill it with one blow!

The two sides were in a stalemate.

Chen Jie was also waiting for the enemy to reveal a flaw, at which time he could lead a cavalry unit to capture Centipede Mountain directly and burn the enemy's food supplies.

Rescue Huangzhou Prefecture.

However, the enemy's attacks in recent times were all small-scale, and it can be seen that they are also very cautious.

Moreover, Han Miaozhen has not shown up. Chen Jie suspects that Han Miaozhen may have been personally in charge of the headquarters these days. In this way, even if the two elders Gui and He take action, they cannot burn the enemy's food and grass.

Therefore, it is time for both sides to compete in endurance.

……

In the headquarters of Zoroastrianism.

At this time, Elder Quan rushed to Han Miaozhen's room.

Han Miaozhen was recovering from her injuries at this time. Her injuries were a little serious this time. It was not because of the two elders, Gui and He, but because she was injured by the imperial army in the Central Plains when she followed the chief priest to attack Henan and Anhui.

This time, all eight disciples under Living Buddha Bashipa went out.

This caused the entire Central Plains battlefield to fall into a stalemate, and as a result, she came to Huangzhou Prefecture with injuries, originally thinking that she could easily take over Huangzhou Prefecture and relieve the pressure on the Central Plains battlefield.

But unexpectedly, Guihe was actually in Huangzhou Prefecture.

Although the strength of these two people is average, they are in tune with each other and are good at using combined attack techniques. It would be difficult for me to take them down alone, especially since I am injured now.

Han Miaozhen was also a little anxious.

At this time, Elder Quan came in and said, "Dharma King."

"Oh, Elder Dog, what's the matter?"

Elder Quan said, "I want to report a situation to you. Something happened in Huangzhou Prefecture."

"problem occurs?"

Han Miaozhen looked at Elder Quan with a puzzled look on his face. Elder Quan said, "Well, Huangzhou Prefecture suddenly carried out a large-scale internal cleanup, uprooting the four major sects and the four dragons and eight tigers that had been entrenched in Huangzhou Prefecture. As a result, there is no third-party force in the entire Huangzhou Prefecture now, and many of the people we sent to instigate rebellion were also killed."

"Our original plan to create chaos in Huangzhou Prefecture is probably not going to work."

Han Miaozhen frowned after hearing this and said, "So, we can only fight against these imperial thieves in Huangzhou Prefecture?"

The dog elder said: "Well, that should be the case."

Han Miaozhen frowned slightly, and then said: "Well, let's fight. I never thought that I could easily take over Huangzhou Prefecture, especially with the two thieves Guihe here."

Elder Quan said, "Yes, Your Majesty is right. However, Your Majesty, this purge is also an opportunity for us. Although many people died this time, some members of the Four Dragons and Eight Tigers escaped from Huangzhou Prefecture. Do you think we should try to recruit them to strengthen the prestige of our Holy Church?"

After hearing this, Han Miaozhen said: "Well, this is an opportunity. The Wolf Smoke Realm is also a good fighting force. Well, we can recruit them at a cheap price."

"I'll leave this matter to you, Elder Dog."

After hearing this, Elder Quan immediately said, "Yes, I will send someone to contact them right away..."

……

In a certain forest, a man was walking through the forest at an incredibly fast speed. He was walking through the forest as if he were walking on flat ground. It was obvious that he was a master of light skills.

As he was on his way, a man suddenly appeared in front of him and said, "Brother Sun!"

The man was startled and stopped, then he saw Zhong Guang, the former leader of Hong Jian Sect, standing there, smiling at him. He was startled and said, "Master Zhong!"

Zhong Guang smiled and said, "It's me. Brother Sun, where are you going in such a hurry?"

The man who was about to be stopped was none other than Sun Wang, the Ivy Tiger who was once one of the Four Dragons and Eight Tigers.

Sun Wang looked at Zhong Guang and said, "Master Zhong is blocking me here. Is there something going on?"

Zhong Guang said: "I heard that the major martial arts sects in the city were purged by the court. I told Brother Sun a long time ago that the court is unreliable. Brother Sun has always been simple and easy to understand. Even so, the enemy will not let you go. Brother Sun, can you bear this?"

Sun Wang laughed when he heard this and said, "Master Zhong, I'm afraid you have bad intentions in provoking me. Although I don't know why you came to find me, I know it's definitely not a good thing. In this case, I will tell you my thoughts, Master Zhong, make your own judgment."

"I am a lone ranger. I am used to being free and unfettered. I am not bound by anyone and I don't want to be enemies with anyone. Since Huangzhou Prefecture won't let me stay, I will leave Huangzhou Prefecture. The world is so big that there is no place I can't go."

"So I am not prepared to be an enemy of the imperial court. If Sect Master Zhong wants to win me over, I am afraid I cannot comply!"

Sun Wang spoke frankly and his meaning was very clear: if you want to rebel, don't come to me, I'm not interested.

Zhong Guang frowned when he heard this. Sun Wang is a hopeless case and there is no hope for him.

Thinking of this, Zhong Guang took out a bag, threw it to Sun Wang and said, "Brother Sun, you misunderstood. I am not here to win you over."

"We are friends. I can't bear to see you leave your hometown, so I came to give you some money for your journey. Here are 20 taels of gold. Have a safe journey, brother Sun. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely drink with you."

Sun Wang took the bag that Zhong Guang threw over, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much. The road ahead is long, and we'll see you later."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Seeing Sun Wang leaving, several disciples came out from the bushes and said, "Master Zhong Dai, this person doesn't know how to appreciate your kindness. Why did he send him off with such a generous gift?"

Zhong Guang heard this and said, "Haha, that's how the martial arts world is. Just because you don't need it today doesn't mean you won't need it tomorrow."

"It's always good to maintain a friendship."

After hearing this, several people nodded as if they understood. Zhong Guang said, "Let's go to the next stop."

……

The forest is tall and dense, next to a small stream.

A middle-aged man was grilling fish leisurely there, with a calm expression and a sense of contentment.

But the young man next to him was very anxious.

"Dad, are we just leaving like this? We have been running the Huangzhou Prefecture fishing gang for hundreds of years. Are we going to give up just because of Chen Jiusi?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man said, "Haha, it's just a foundation. If it's gone, you can rebuild it. If it's destroyed, it's just right for you to be free from constraints. Come on, Yu'er, try this grilled fish."

"I won't eat, Dad. If you want to leave, you go, but I won't. I must fight Chen Jiusi to the death. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he has the support of the imperial court. I want to tell him that meeting me is his doom!"

The young man was quite unconvinced. He was the young leader of the fishing gang in Huangzhou Prefecture, and Chen Jiusi was just the leader of a fishing gang in a small county town in Mianyang River. Logically speaking, he was just a small helmsman under him.

As a result, he failed to kill him again and again, and now he was chased out of Huangzhou Prefecture like a dog. Such a great humiliation is intolerable.

Thinking of this, the young man gritted his teeth in anger.

He had to fight with Chen Jie to see who was the better man.

However, the middle-aged man said, "Yu'er, you are so determined not to lose. The gangs in Huangzhou Prefecture are both a help and a hindrance to us. This is a good thing now."

"As for Chen Jiusi, we'll talk about it in the future."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, looking nonchalant.

Upon hearing this, the young man was immediately furious and said, "Dad, when did you become so decadent? You were not like this in the past. You were once a famous tiger blocking the river in Huangzhou Prefecture!"

"Haha, what's the use of being a tiger blocking the river? It's just an empty title. Nowadays, being able to stay alive is the most important thing."

The middle-aged man didn't care at all. What was the use of blocking the river tiger and the empty reputation in the world? It was not worth mentioning.

"Dad, you, you disappoint me so much!"

The young man looked at the middle-aged man and said viciously, but the middle-aged man didn't care at all. But at this moment, a voice came over and said, "Brother Zhou, I think the child is right!"

Ok?
The middle-aged man was grilling fish contentedly. He looked up when he heard the words, with a hint of annoyance between his brows, but he quickly recovered his original expression and said, "Who am I? It turns out to be Master Zhong of Hong Jian Sect!"

After hearing this, Zhong Guang walked over slowly and said, "Brother Zhou, what could have happened to make you, the famous Tiger Blocking the River, become so decadent?"

Zhou Feng heard this and said, "Haha, what do you mean by blocking the river tiger? He is just young and ignorant. There is nothing worth bragging about in his activities as a river bandit."

Zhong Guang said: "Brother Zhou, you really are not like yourself now!"

Zhou Feng looked at Zhong Guang and said, "Haha, don't talk about me. Master Zhong, are you here to go fishing or have a picnic today?"

Zhou Feng interrupted, and Zhong Guang heard him and said, "Haha, no, I came here specifically to look for you and your son."

"Looking for us?"

After hearing what Zhong Guang said, Zhou Yu, the swelling brother beside him, frowned and looked at him.

Zhong Guang smiled and said, "Yes, nephew, I came to look for you!"

"What do you want from us?"

Zhong Guang said, "I heard that you and your son were chased out of Huangzhou Prefecture by the court's dogs. I was very angry. These court dogs are simply lawless. How can we tolerate this? So I came to find you two just to ask, don't you want revenge?"

Zhou Feng cleared his throat and said, "Oh, Master Zhong, I'm sorry for your concern, but I really don't want to take revenge. Let him handle the matter of Huangzhou Prefecture. We, father and son, have decided to visit other prefectures and experience the customs and practices of Daqian."

"father."

After hearing what Zhou Feng said, Zhou Yu suddenly became very anxious. Why did he become so cowardly?
Why should we surrender to an ungrateful and treacherous person like Chen Jiusi?

Zhou Feng said: "Yu'er!"

Zhou Yu said angrily, "Dad, you admit defeat, but I don't!"

After hearing this, Zhou Feng frowned and said, "Shut up."

"Dad, I...ah..."

Zhou Yu was very angry. Seeing this, Zhong Guang raised his lips and said, "Brother Zhou, you are so elegant. In this case, I won't bother you anymore. This is my gift to you as travel expenses."

As he spoke, Zhong Guang threw a bag of gold to Zhou Feng.

But Zhou Feng took it and shook it, saying: "Thank you, but I don't want to receive gifts without merit. Master Zhong should keep this gold for yourself!"

As he said this, he actually threw all the gold back. This showed that he had no mercy at all and it seemed that he was really preparing to retire from the world.

Zhong Guang looked at the gold that was thrown back, and there was no anger on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Sorry for disturbing you."

Watching Zhong Guang leave, Zhou Yu said to Zhou Feng: "Dad, are you so willing to accept this? Zhong Guang is right..."

"Right? What's right about that? Son, he wants to use us as a pawn. Come on, eat this meal and leave with me. We can't stay in Huangzhou Prefecture any longer."

Zhou Yu frowned, looking disapproving.

……

In the middle of the night, Zhou Feng fell asleep, but Zhou Yu couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned. He got up and wanted to pee. At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him. It was Zhong Guang who had left and returned.

"Master Zhong, you came back to look for my father?"

Zhong Guang said: "No, I'm looking for you."

Zhou Yu said: "Looking for me, what do you want to do with me?"

Zhong Guang said, "Your father is old and no longer as majestic as he once was. So I ask you one question: are you willing to leave Huangzhou Prefecture in disgrace? If you say you are willing, I will leave immediately! I will never entangle you."

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time after hearing this and said, "I am unwilling to accept this. Can you help me?"

Zhong Guang said: "If I can't help you, I won't look for you anymore."

Zhou Yu said: "How can you help me?"

Zhong Guang said: "Join the Holy Church, and Elder Quan promised to give you a [Wen Yun Dan] to help you break through the Bao Dan realm."

Zhou Yu said: "What do I need to do?"

Zhong Guang said: "It's very simple. Help the Holy Church attack Huangzhou Prefecture and kill Chen Jiusi."

"Kill Chen Jiusi, haha, okay, I agree."

Zhong Guang said: "Welcome to join Zoroastrianism."

Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and asked, "Where's Wen Yundan?"

Zhong Guang said: "Oh, come back with me and I'll give it to you, and we'll also give you the safest place to break through."

"where?"

Zhong Guang said: "I am at the Fire Worship Sect's granary. The elders mean that you can not only break through, but also help us look after the food, which can be regarded as doing things for the Holy Church. Of course, after you break through, if you want to go to the front line, you can go at any time."

Zhong Guang said: "Okay!"

……

Time flies, just like a white horse passing by, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The front battlefield has been in a stalemate for the past five days, and the fighting has intensified. Yesterday, Elder Quan and Wang Baobao participated in the confrontation on the front battlefield. Early this morning, there was a different atmosphere in the Zoroastrian camp, and a team of female soldiers drove to the front of the battle.

A woman who looked to be about 40 years old and had an imposing manner stood on the carriage. The woman looked at Huangzhou Prefecture, pointed her finger and shouted, "Old turtle, where is the bald bird? Do you dare to come out and fight with me!"

After hearing this, two angry shouts were heard from the walls of Huangzhou Prefecture: "Han Tuji, do you think we are afraid of you? Come and fight!"

As he spoke, Turtle and Crane came out together and went straight towards Han Miaozhen.

Before leaving, they all looked at Chen Jie and nodded slightly.

Not long after they went out, Wang Baobao also came out and rushed directly towards the Dog Elder.

Before he left, he also glanced at Chen Jie.

Then it was the refugees versus the city defense army. The situation on the battlefield suddenly became more intense. Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, most of the people are here. You can implement the plan."

Chen Jie replied, "Well, my lord, rest assured. I will definitely burn the enemy's food supplies this time and will not let you down."

Zhao Ya said: "I believe you and will wait for your good news."

At this time, Chen Jie went around the city, left through the back door, and went straight out of the city!
