"There are seventeen counties along the coast of Qingzhou. Our Yunzhou group is responsible for the two adjacent counties of Haicang and Gaolin," Oikawa explained in a small room while pointing to a map that had just been hung up:<

/p>

"Among these two counties, Qingyun Palace has marked sixteen targets that may be attacked..."

Following his words, a disciple fired a spell, and sixteen yellow light spots immediately appeared on the map.

"However, there are only thirty-four members in our team. On average, there are two monks per target. This is not good and the strength is a bit weak, so I discussed with Elder Guo and eliminated six less likely targets. This way

There are approximately three disciples in each place, which is more appropriate."

As soon as he finished speaking, ten of the sixteen yellow dots turned into more dazzling red dots.

"This time our Imperial Palace is going to war. The target is not just a few foundation-building cultivators. We must at least seize the opponent's Zifu to be considered victorious! Therefore, your task is to report the situation and pester the Sangzhou bandit cultivators when they come to harass you.

Stop the opponent and force him to ask for help!"

"Does everyone understand?"

"Understood!"

Seeing that no one had any objections, Guo Changlong took out a roll of documents and began to call the names one by one:

"Ye Jiangchuan, Han Jue, Xing Hongxuan, Cunyungu, Haicang County!"

"Jiang Wang, Ye Qingyu, Zhao Rucheng, Haicang County Writers Collection!"

"..."

"Shen Luo, Bai Xiaotian, Nie Caizhu, Cuijin Lake in Gaolin County!"

Within a few breaths, ten targets and thirty monks were allocated one by one. It was obvious that this plan had already been drawn up.

Finally there are four people left.

"The four of you are not my Yunqing Palace disciples. I heard that the old guy Meng Guitian tricked and coaxed you here. Well, I won't embarrass you. You can each choose a place to join."

Two people quickly selected their targets. Zhao Yueer did not choose. She looked at Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen stared at the map and saw ten red dots forming a thick arc. Outside the arc was the sea, and inward was the Qingzhou hinterland.

The six places with faint yellow light are all behind the arc.

Obviously Oikawa believes that if Sangzhou is plundered, these ten places on the arc are closer to the ocean and more convenient. The other six places are far away and behind him, so it is unlikely.

These ten targets are at the farthest eight or nine hundred miles away from each other. If we start from somewhere in the middle, it will be at least four hundred miles away. It will take Zifu almost two-quarters of an hour to arrive.

It seems that although Zhenguo Palace has mobilized a large number of monks, Qingzhou is too big, and the troops allocated to each place are still somewhat stretched.

I don’t know if Zhenguo Palace has other arrangements, Yang Zhen is confused.

"Palace Master Kan," he pointed to the yellow dots: "Can I choose one of these six places with my senior sister?"

"You want to choose among these?" Kazukawa looked surprised. Then he seemed to understand something and smiled and said: "Please do so."

He thought that Yang Zhen chose the yellow light spot because she wanted to avoid war. However, he and Zhao Beiqing had a good personal relationship. Now that his old friend has passed away, he should take care of his descendants.

Little did he know that the first reason why Yang Zhen liked this place was that he wanted to be alone with Zhao Yue'er to facilitate his cultivation. The [Five Elements Mending Heaven Sutra] was so useful that he didn't want to waste a single day.

Another reason is that Yang Zhen has many tricks, many of which are inconvenient to show in public, so it is not surprising that she chooses a place to hide in the rear.

Finally, Yang and Zhao chose a target called Black Rock Peak. This place is a little over two hundred miles away from the middle of the arc, so rescue will be more convenient.

After the grouping, the next step is to distribute materials, including spiritual stones, elixirs, third-level defense talismans, as well as two communication objects, paper kites and flame telegraph talismans, and finally the jade slips introducing the destination.

Yang Zhen took the jade slip and carefully browsed the information on Heiyan Peak.

Black Rock Peak is located in Gaolin County. It is eight hundred feet high. The mountain is covered with black rocks. It is rich in a mineral called black iron and fine gold, which is an important raw material for refining water-based magic swords.

Yang Zhen's Qingyue Sword was mixed with black iron and fine gold.

This mine, owned by a Ji-building family named Hou, produces about one thousand kilograms of black iron and fine gold every year. Calculated at twenty spirit stones per kilogram, the output value should be twenty thousand spirit stones.

However, this place was looted by Sangzhou three years ago. Not only did they steal hundreds of kilograms of fine gold and thousands of kilograms of raw ore, but they also beat to death a foundation builder guarding the place.

There are only two Foundation Builders in the Hou family. Since then, the other Foundation Builder has stayed at home and dared not go out. The mine has been managed by a few Qi Practitioners from the family, and the output has dropped by several percent.

It is said that it is unlikely that Sangzhou will patronize such a place again, but black iron and gold are extremely popular in Sangzhou, and the price is several times that of Qingzhou. Therefore, it is difficult to say that they will not become evil again.

……

In the afternoon, a flying boat flew out from Qingyun Palace, flew west for dozens of miles, then turned south, heading towards Haicang County.

The people sitting on the spaceship were none other than the monks from Yunzhou. And they acted like this to deceive others.

When they arrived over Haicang County, night had already enveloped the land.

The flying boat followed the arc on the map and began to drop people off one by one.

Half an hour later, I saw rolling hills ahead, including a towering peak. The top of the mountain seemed to have been flattened by a sharp sword, the terrain was sunken, and there were faint stars flashing.

Yang Zhen read the information and knew that it was Black Rock Peak, and that the place reflecting the starlight was a lake on the top of the mountain.

He and Zhao Yue'er stood up and said goodbye to the two masters and everyone else. Then they jumped off the flying boat, and a flying sword appeared at their feet, carrying them towards the mountain peak.
p>

The two of them passed over the mirror-level lake, fell straight down towards the foot of the mountain, and soon arrived near a house.

This is the residence of the three Qi-training monks, as well as dozens of mortal miners, all crowded in this courtyard.

It is said that monks and mortals lived separately in the past. Since the robbery of Sangzhou, these monks have let mortals live in, nominally to protect them.

In fact, it is——

Empower yourself.

It was already Haishi, when everything was completely silent. It turned out that the two of them did not intend to disturb these people and found another place to live in the mountains.

At this time, the courtyard door creaked open, and a man in ragged clothes and yawning staggered out, came to the corner, loosened his trouser pockets, and then hummed a tune comfortably.

Zhao Yue'er turned her face away in shame, and Yang Zhen also found it funny. When the man returned to the yard humming a song and was about to close the door, he took a quick step, pushed the door open, and suddenly shouted:

"Is your person in charge here?"

The man was so frightened by the sudden cry that he trembled and fell to the ground.

There were various chaotic sounds in the house, and someone responded in a panic: "Coming, coming."

After a while, three people came out. The leader was a bald man in his forties, and the two behind him looked younger.
