"Dig the giant river," Yan Yin frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Jiangui said, "Isn't there a huge lake outside the border city of Wanli? After investigation, the first lady Ye Qingchen decided to dig a huge river running through Northern Xinjiang to facilitate the transportation of goods in Northern Xinjiang and solve the water problems of many people. , Brother Fang, you also know that Northern Xinjiang is not like Southern Xinjiang. Many places are not suitable for people to live. Moreover, there are not many big rivers in Northern Xinjiang, and the rainfall is not that abundant. Over the years, the biggest factor restricting the development of Northern Xinjiang has been It is a water source, and because of this, Northern Xinjiang urgently needs such a giant river that spans the north and south of Northern Xinjiang,"
Nodding, the Pirate King said, "That's true. To be honest, when you asked the people with black eyes to let us go south, our people were preparing to go north to help dig the giant river,"
After pondering for a while, Yan Yin asked, "Drilling the giant river is a big project. Can Northern Xinjiang currently afford so much money?"
"We were very confused about this at first, but later we learned through the people with black eyes that Mrs. Qingchen used the establishment of a harbor as a selling point, so that major families, cities, and merchants spent money to fund the construction of canals," the Pirate King said with a smile, "I have to say , Mrs. Qingchen’s methods are very clever,”
"So that's it." Yan Yin put down some worries in his heart, and then asked, "According to this, if the Qingqing Family is supporting your food and grass, then what is Yang Er's logistics army doing?"
"We really don't know about this," Jiangui said. "Since the Qingqing Family helped deliver food to the armies, Yang Er's army has not done much except transporting some silver coins to support our army. His logistics army has been running between the various cities behind our army, and it’s not very clear what they are doing specifically,”
Yan Yin frowned and thought for a moment. He was curious about what Sword Turtle said about Yang Er running around with the logistics army among the major cities.
After thinking about it, he decided to ask Yang Er personally.
Looking at the two of them, Yan Yin said seriously, "Big brothers, I have asked you to lead the army south this time because there is an important task for you."
"What mission?" The Pirate King asked aloud.
"I have reached an agreement with the new emperor of the empire to work together to completely eradicate the warrior guilds in the empire. Because southern Xinjiang is controlled by Feng Yunxiao, we will first clean up the warrior guilds north of the Yanyun Mountains," Yan Yin said solemnly. He said, "The two of you will lead the army out of the northern border and enter the empire from tomorrow. At that time, you will get in touch with the people with black eyes, and then join forces with the imperial capital to wipe out the warrior unions in the major cities."
Although Yan Yin was a little upset because of the tragedy of grain robbery, he still did not forget what he should do.
"Get rid of the Warriors Guild," Sword Turtle smacked his tongue, "My dear, this is no small feat. If you really do it, it will be very difficult."
Yan Yin smiled and said, "That's why I asked you to lead the army and use our army in black to complete this matter."
"Hehe," Sword Turtle chuckled, "If the black army comes out, it will be a piece of cake."
"By the way, how many troops do you have in total?" Yan Yin asked.
The Pirate King said, "My two armies total about 50,000 people. There are about a thousand warrior-level masters, and the rest are mostly generals and innate warriors."
Nodding, Yan Yin asked, "Then do you know where General Zhennan is?"
"I know this," Jiangui said. "Not long ago, seven thousand black-clad elite soldiers commanded by Zhennan General Nangong Jian went to Ghost Wolf Valley. Because Yanwu Academy had just been completed there, his army was stationed in Ghost Wolf Valley. ,"
Ghost Wolf Valley, a name that deeply impressed Yan Yin.
"Well, then you go south first. I will leave for Ghost Wolf Valley soon and ask General Nangong to assist you," Yan Yin said, "You pay close attention to the situation in southern Xinjiang. If Feng Yunxiao does anything, report it to me immediately. If there is an emergency, General Nangong will take full command,"
The two nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay,"
That night, the two talked a lot. Yan Yin talked about the things he had experienced in the past three years, such as the destruction of the Blood Soul Hall, the Qingyun Peak Heroes Conference, and the riot in the Savage City, etc.
Every time Yan Yin talks about something exciting, there will always be bursts of laughter in the room.
Yan Yin took out the general's order wine and jade pot wine from the palm of his hand, and drank freely with the two of them.
Before dawn the next day, the Pirate King and the Sword Turtle left the city.
Not long after, the two men led the army and passed through the city in the pre-dawn night.
Looking at the retreating army, Yang Fei looked at Yan Yin and said, "Master Hou, will this army be fine if they go south like this?"
Lin Qing'er on the side smiled and said, "Don't worry, City Master Yang, the Marquis will not do anything to disgrace the empire. The army went south with the consent of the monarch. You will receive a series of news soon."
Nodding, Yang Fei said, "In that case, I won't ask any more questions. The Fengyun Empire is really too big. It takes several months to walk from Wangbei City to the imperial capital. It is really inconvenient to transmit this news."
Smiling, Yan Yin said, "By the way, there will be a motorcade heading from the Third City to Northern Xinjiang soon. There is a mother and daughter in the motorcade, named Yang Qiuhua and Hai Qian. Please help me keep an eye on them. If they arrive, Just stop them and ask them to stay in Wangbei City for the time being, and don't go north into Northern Xinjiang yet,"
"Okay," Yang Fei said, "Yang Fei will definitely handle this matter for Mr. Hou,"
"Yeah" Yan Yin nodded, then looked at Lin Qing'er and said, "Let's go,"
Northern Xinjiang, an unknown place.
"I said, can you let me go? I have no grievances with you, why do you have to hold on to me?" A young man looked helplessly at a woman in front of him and said, "It's been more than half a year." Yes, you take me here and there every day, where are we going?"
"You bastard, shut up," the woman turned around and said, "Thankfully you came from Southern College. I asked you to carry me on your back. You said that men and women are not intimate with each other. I asked you to rent a carriage, and you said you didn't. Money, I asked you to get some money, and you said you can't steal it. Well, let's not talk about that anymore. I want to accept you as my disciple. You stupid boy doesn't agree. Tell me, you What can a little military commander do? As long as you become my disciple and become my apprentice, you will be the master of my Zuiyin Workshop from now on."
"I don't believe it," the young man said angrily, "The people in the college said that all the women in Zuiyinfang are women, and all of them...are...not serious women anyway,"
The woman looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Oh, you Yang Qiushi, you actually know this. Seeing how you keep talking about Su Xin all day long, I thought you were a fool who didn't know anything." Boy, I didn’t expect you, a bastard, to know a lot. It’s a pity that Su Xin is the apprentice of the master of Qingyue Mountain and the daughter of Su Yanying, the eldest lady of the Su family. You, a stupid boy who is dumb and stupid, have nothing. It’s impossible for people to fall in love with you,”
"Ling Piaopiao," the young man shouted angrily, "If you are talking nonsense, I will... I won't leave,"
The young man is none other than Yang Qiushi.
As for the woman, who else could it be but Ling Piaopiao, the master of Zuiyinfang.
Ling Piaopiao chuckled and said, "You silly boy, forget it, I won't tease you anymore, you can quickly find me an inn to rest, I'm going to heal my wounds, but don't even think about running away, you have me in Zuiyinfang A unique poison. As long as you don't take the antidote for three days, you know the consequences. Although I was injured by the blood demon and cannot fly, I am a spiritual saint after all. Don't think of ways to deal with me, otherwise I will Just kill someone when you see one, huh,"
Yang Qiu Shilong pulled his head and hummed in a low voice, "You bad woman, who asked you to ogle you? You are lucky not to be killed by the blood demon. You were only slightly injured, so you caught me as a coolie." "
"You bastard, don't think that I can't hear you muttering," Ling Piaopiao said, "I'm telling you, if it were anyone else, I would have let you go a long time ago. It's a pity that your kid has a relationship with Yan Yin, so You deserve to be unlucky. Go to the town ahead and find me an inn. I want to rest and heal."
"Oh" Yang Qiushi walked up to Ling Piaopiao and looked at her extending her hand, "Money,"
Ling Piaopiao reached out and touched Yang Qiushi's little face and said, "Brother Xiaojun, if I were in Zuiyinfang, I would have plenty of money. As for now, you have to find a way by yourself."
Seeing Yang Qiushi retreating repeatedly, Ling Piaopiao chuckled and said, "Go back quickly, I will miss you."
After muttering something, Yang Qiushi walked quickly towards the small town ahead.
Ling Piaopiao, on the other hand, walked slowly towards the town with a charming smile.
As soon as he entered the town, Yang Qiushi felt a gust of wind coming over him.
What surprised him was that there was no one on the streets of the entire town.
Looking around with some caution, Yang Qiushi took off the long sword forged from five layers of black crystal stone that Qiu Yi got for him from his back, held it in his hand and walked cautiously towards the town.
The further inside, the more eerie and terrifying Yang Qiushi felt.
"Is there anyone there?" Yang Qiushi shouted, "Where is this place?"
After observing it for a while, Yang Qiushi felt that this town was very strange.
Because the houses on both sides of the street are closed, even the windows are closed. No matter in any small town, all doors and windows will not be closed even at night.
"Hey, is there anyone?" Looking at the surrounding environment, Yang Qiushi couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said to himself, "What the hell is this place? The doors are closed and the windows are locked, and there's not even a human figure."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the center of the town.
Faintly, Yang Qiushi smelled the smell of blood.
Shocked in his heart, Yang Qiushi believed that he was a general after all, so he hurried away in the direction of the wind.
The further you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.
After thousands of twists and turns, when Yang Qiushi carefully followed the smell of blood to the center of the town, the scene in front of him shocked him.
This is an open space, and in this open space, there is a scene of corpses strewn all over the field.
Men, women, old and young were lying here in various directions, and each of them had an expression of disbelief.
It seems that they did not expect that someone would kill them.
Yang Qiushi took a general look and found that there were no less than a thousand people here.
Judging from the clothing of the deceased, these people were dressed as ordinary people. Obviously, they were all people of this small town.
"Who on earth is so cruel, not even sparing innocent people," Yang Qiushi said angrily, "No wonder the whole town is empty, all the people..."
Suddenly, Yang Qiushi thought of something and was shocked. He hurriedly reached out and touched some blood on the ground.
The blood is not very fresh, but it has not coagulated yet.
"No," Yang Qiushi was startled and hurriedly ran towards the direction he came from with his sword in hand.
Because he thought of one thing, if the whole town died here, then who had closed the houses with closed doors and windows on both sides of the street he walked along.
