Chen Qi didn't talk nonsense, and left 150 taels of silver, so he asked the owner of the warehouse to quickly put the best carriage on and immediately rushed to the road.

The owner of the warehouse said to himself: "These silver is enough for me to buy a carriage again. A man is not very good. I guess if he encounters a riot, he will only beat him up at most so that he will not have any worries about his life. Well, just send these two young men and women to Tiandu County. They want to seek death, and they dare not do anything about me. Moreover, depending on their demeanor, they may have some connection with the rebels in Tiandu County and may not die."

The owner of the warehouse called a smart guy, gave a few careful advice, and then asked the guy to put on the carriage and sent Chen Qi and Xun Yumao to the road.

Chen Qi usually only had the share of robbing the carriage, so he did not have the opportunity to take the car. Before leaving the city, he bought a lot of food. Compared to his wandering days before, Chen Qi was quite satisfied at this time.

After setting off, in just seven or eight days, he left the territory of Duliang County and entered the jurisdiction of Tiandu County. The guy had already received the advice from the owner of the warehouse and refused to leave when he got here. Chen Qi did not make things difficult for him. He drove the carriage all the way forward and let the guy go back.

Chen Qi drove the carriage away for half a day. Seeing that the people on the roadside were many times more desolate than Duliang County, many villages were empty, and they were obviously either affected by the war or fled. Although Chen Qi was used to being a bandit, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene and said to Xun Yumao: "If there were such a situation in Tiandu County, even if he was a bandit, he would not have robbed him, wouldn't he starve to death?"

Xun Yumao didn't know that Chen Qi had done business without capital before, so he just said, "It's not good here, so let's go there again, it doesn't matter."

When Chen Qi was in Tianma Mountain, he heard many old thieves who had been old for a long time say how powerful the prefect of Tiandu County was. After receiving the help of a demon king, he cultivated 30,000 magical weapons, and even refused to listen to the orders of the court. At that time, he was very envious and thought of Tiandu County as heaven, and could rob at will without the control of the court. It was the place that these bandits dreamed of, so they fled and remembered this place.

But when he arrived at Tiandu County, he realized that this place was very different from what he imagined. It was everywhere, and it was ruined after the war was destroyed. Even if he wanted to rob, no one could rob it, and it immediately became a bit strange. He had never thought about what was wrong with being a bandit before. It seemed that there were endless fat sheep in the world, and there were still a group of them, endless. But after coming to Tiandu County, he realized that after the robbery was gone, no one could rob it.

When Xun Yumao spoke, Chen Qi didn't listen to it. He drove the carriage and walked forward. After walking for a day, he finally saw a city intact and soldiers were walking back and forth on the top of the city. Chen Qi said to Xun Yumao: "It's quite dangerous here. I'll take you into the ancient tower first to avoid any trouble." After that, he didn't ask for the little fox's opinion, and raised his hand and put Xun Yumao into the ancient tower.

The prefect of Tiandu County rebelled a few years ago, but he colluded with a demon king and incorporated many monsters into the army. He also used evil magic to refine a team of "divine weapons" to repeatedly resist the court's crusade. The previous document has already said that the Dayun Dynasty has lost its imperial power and has been stolen by various powerful people. Most bureaucrats in various places have been ordering the court, appoint and remove officials on their own, control taxes, and even hold military power. Many rules have long been abandoned.

The prefect of Tiandu County rebelled for many years, but he was also obedient. He only guarded the land of Tiandu County and did not leave the jurisdiction of the county. The powerful people in other places were unwilling to pay attention to it and let him do it. It was not only unhelpful for these powerful people to spend their troops for the sake of the court, but they were not allowed to deprive them of military power because of the rebels and the troops were exhausted. The powerful people in other countries were attacked by other countries while they were weak. The imperial court would even issue an order to deprive the military power.

The order of the Emperor of the Dayun Dynasty was no longer able to leave a state. Although some troops were sent to attack repeatedly, they were not elite soldiers. After all, the Emperor of the Dayun Dynasty not only had to be wary of all the princes, but also had to be wary of foreign humiliation. He did not dare to spread the little force at hand too far.

Because of this, the prefect of Tiandu County was able to defend this county, but because of the continuous wars, not only did the people flee, but even many cities were dilapidated and many villages were deserted. Tiandu County had four prefectures and nineteen counties, which were more than half smaller than Duliang County. It was originally barren, but after the war, it was naturally worse.

The county town where Chen Qi and Xun Yumao came, named Xiaopei, is one of the 19 counties in Tiandu County. The population was only tens of thousands, but after the war, it dropped by half. Now it is less than 10,000. Because this is not the front line of the conquest, Zhao Mancha, the prefect of Tiandu County, left only more than 300 soldiers here.

The big cart that Chen Qi drove away looked pretty good. When the soldiers on the front of Xiaopei City saw it from afar, they were all happy. At that moment, a captain rushed out with forty or fifty people, and shouted loudly from afar: "Where is the spy coming from? Why don't you get out of the car and get tied up quickly! If you are slow, you will be a death sentence!"

Chen Qi said in his heart: "These people are even more fierce than my brothers in Tianmashan. It's okay to steal people, but they even have to be charged with spies. Is this a case of leaking news? Do you want to kill people to silence them?"

Chen Qi used his martial arts skills and took out a steel knife from the Five Yin Bag. This steel knife was picked up by him from the soldiers of the Beast King Camp. It was of good quality and was full of cold light. He was in hand. Chen Dazhu shouted: "I am a hero from Tianma Mountain. I came to join the prefect of this county. Don't frame it. The steel knife in my hand is not vegetarian."

The soldiers laughed together, and the commander in the lead even laughed and scolded: "There are people who come to join the army. We are not wearing the hat of a traitor, and we are not able to survive anywhere, so we have already eloped. Who would have stayed in this place where we don't even have enough food to eat? If you want to join the army, come, just present this big cart and the things on it."

Chen Qi didn't care about the big cart, and thought to himself: "I heard that everyone in Tiandu County was a robber, and they were all considered bandits, and they must be ten times more prosperous than Tianma Mountain. Who would have thought that there were too many thieves, and it was also a difficult situation. I snatched everything and no one had enough food to eat." He shouted: "I don't care about this big cart, I just asked you brothers, who can lead me to meet the prefect of this county?"

The leading captain jumped up from the war horse and flew onto the carriage. He ignored Chen Qi and immediately shouted: "This carriage belongs to our battalion. Whoever brings this hero who has joined the army into the city first."

Chen Qi followed these soldiers and entered Xiaopei. Someone threw him a dirty set of armor. No one asked him about his origin, so he took him away.

Chen Qi had prepared a lot of rhetoric. You should know that even the Tianmashan Village was not allowed to come in, and he always wanted to surrender the title, kill the powerful and stick. The military discipline of Xiaopei County was extremely corrupt and no one was in charge of the matter. He actually let Chen Qi get in casually, without anyone caring about him, no one cared about whether he was innocent or not.

Chen Qi carried this worn-out suit, but he didn't dislike it, so he changed his body. When he was in Tianma Mountain, he had no one to wash clothes and was wearing a thief's outfit, which was not as clean as this suit. Although the situation in Tiandu County was different from what Chen Qi imagined. He originally thought that as long as he joined the army, he could rob the county at will. Officials were thieves, and thieves were used to it. Isn't it great to integrate thieves? Today, there was nothing to rob in the county, and it was not fun to be an official or a thief, but Chen Qi still wanted to stay here.

Chen Qi had no place to go. Although Tiandu County seemed not a good place, the little thief also thought: "As long as there is a place to settle down, I can practice Taoism, and I will care about it. Even if it is ten times worse than this, it will not be difficult for me."

Chen Qi stayed in Xiaopei County for a few days and found out that there were only more than 300 people here, and there were actually eight battalions of soldiers. According to the military system of the Dayun Dynasty, thousands of people were in the camp and tens of thousands of people were in the army. Although the number of people was quite unfixed and the ups and downs was extremely floating, these more than 300 people were not even enough of the number of soldiers and horses in the battalion, and they could still be divided into eight battalions. After he learned about this, he immediately understood why the military discipline here was so abolition.

The eighth battalion of soldiers stationed in Xiaopei County, the strongest Longwei Camp had about 80 people and more than ten war horses, the weakest Leopard Tail Camp had only nine people, and even seven swords, but no horses.

Zhao Mancha, the prefect of Tiandu County, concentrated all his troops, wealth, food and grass in the four prefectures. He basically left the 19 county towns alone, and did not even provide food and grass. Therefore, the eighth battalion commander of Xiaopei County was unwilling to collect an extra mouth for food. Chen Qi stayed here for several days, but no one was under his jurisdiction, which made the Chen leader feel quite free.

After he had some understanding of the situation in Xiaopei County, he no longer cared about the riots. Every day, he practiced, and did not even talk to others. Gradually, all the people from the Eighth Camp of Xiaopei County had forgotten that there was such an extra person.

Chen Qi lived in Xiaopei County for more than a month. Not only did the Taishang Dragon Transformation Technique open up more than a dozen acupoints, but his skills became deeper. Even the mind method of the Fire Crow Formation condensed twenty-four groups of true fire seeds, and even had many methods to shoot fire feather arrows. He also used the Heshan Taoist magic weapon seized from Wang Changsheng to sacrifice and refine it with the Taishang Dragon Transformation Technique. Even the Iron Bone Technique broke through the sixth level and began to march to the seventh level.

Chen Qi was very happy with his cultivation level. These progress was just a step-by-step approach, and what made him quite satisfied was that Chen Qi had gradually figured out another layer of changes in the Fire Crow Array and comprehended the mental method of refining other acupoints. After practicing the 72 fire orifices of his Fire Crow Array, he could not go further and could only condense the true fire seeds. Chen Qi thought out again that if he could not sacrifice the other acupoints, his body would be too impurities and too heavy. Although he could turn into a Fire Crow, he could not fly. He was just a "turkey".g!~!
