After discussing with Wu Ming and the others, it was slightly modified, and all items that would cause suspicion were discarded, and then they set out on the road.
Passing through the small village last night, I saw a bunch of thick smoke rising, as black as ink, straight into the sky, like a black ganoderma, and underneath, there was another lingering fire.
"This is… "
"How did our village suffer from Zhu Rong's disaster yesterday?"
Xiao Ji murmured, his eyes suddenly moved, showing expressions of intolerance, determination, and hatred.
"No one escaped or put out the fire..." Xiao Di who was next to him also added quietly.
Yuan Tai was ignorant, but Wu Ming understood it immediately.
This fire was obviously set by Yu Shaojun, even before setting the fire, there might have been Tucun.
For the sake of it, it is natural to guard the secrets of these people.
Otherwise, if the news of Ya Bing's destruction spreads, he and others will become suspects, and it will be a problem to even join the Jiushan Army, let alone assist in becoming king.
Treated like this, it is watertight and clean.
"let's go!"
Wu Ming and Xiao Ji looked at each other. If Yu Shaojun hadn't acted, they would have had a similar plan, but at most they would be dismissed with money. Now that someone has done it, they have done them a small favor invisibly.
These few people are all human beings. They looked at each other and understood a little bit. They stopped entanglement and left quickly.
A fire broke out, and another tooth soldier was silenced, which will inevitably attract investigation, but it cannot stay for long.
After walking for dozens of miles, they saw another small town. Xiaodi and Yuan Tai came forward and found out that at this time Li Rubi raised an army, occupying Jiushan County, and took the title of general himself, but the momentum was not small.
At that moment, he asked about the route again, took out gold and silver, bought four yellow-maned horses, and rushed to Jiushan County.
On the way, Xiaodi told the news he had heard:
"This Li Rubi was originally the governor of the Wang family of Jiushan County. His family has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and he has won the Juren and has a great reputation. This is no small feat!"
Both Wu Ming and Xiao Jiji nodded.
The real rise of the grassroots has always been rare. The real subversion of a dynasty often begins with the betrayal of its own interest groups.
Ordinary people don't know the law. Although they gain power for a while, it is difficult to achieve success in the end.
Only this kind of aristocratic family can understand the power of the system, know how to use it, and achieve the career of king and hegemony.
It was in Wu Ming's previous life, the ancient dynasty, who was born as a real commoner, and who won the world was only Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although Liu Bang started from a humble beginning, he was still a pavilion chief and a small official, a figure in the system, and his starting point was much higher than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been a beggar.
"... This Li Rubi's family has a huge wealth, he generously donates money, he likes to support his followers, he hides the dead, and he hides three hundred armors and thousands of longbows..."
Xiaodi just said.
"This is deliberate! I'm afraid it's not the work of a generation!"
Both Wu Ming and Xiao Ji lost their voices.
In ancient times, armor and bows and crossbows were big weapons, and hiding them was like conspiracy, and there were so many of them that even the prefecture's military arsenal might not be able to have them.
Even spreading fame, making friends with heroes, and cultivating dead men, any of these items are tantamount to conspiracy, and more importantly, it is impossible for the county to know nothing about this approach.
"The original governor of Jiushan County may have been dragged into the water long ago..."
Xiao Ji just sighed.
"Hmm! It is rumored that the ancestors of the Li family had spirits, and they were buried in the dragon's veins. They tapped the acupoint of potential hair. The blessings are long and long, and if they are used slowly, they are enough to keep the wealth and honor of the thirteenth generation. A different person, known as the old man of Nanshan, changed the land veins, made the dragon's energy rise quickly, and thought it would be successful!"
"This old man from Nanshan has a strange background and many tricks. He has made great contributions to Li Rubi's foundation. He was worshiped as a military adviser and named 'Nanshan real person'. In the Nine Mountain Army, his status is second only to Li Rubi, and he can be called the top ten thousand people. it's..."
Xiao Di spoke slowly.
"This kind of secret, also come out?"
Wu Ming was a little surprised.
"People in the world are ignorant, but this kind of geomantic omen and the theory of dragon energy can expand the prestige. I suspect that Li Rubi spread it on purpose!"
Xiao Jiji said: "After all, once the dragon's veins have been tapped, it's hard to break them. Pitch without fear!"
"Nanshan old man? Nanshan real person! Real person!"
Wu Ming sighed faintly, and smiled wryly again: "If you dare to call him that, you must be at least a mage, maybe a real person!"
"Support Qianlong with different skills and fight for the world, this person is really brave!"
Xiaodi's face was also ice-cold: "If you don't fight for the dragon in the world, you won't be able to die. Even the great Taoist sects dare not get involved. This Nanshan old man is probably a self-educated and self-enlightened rogue cultivator! Cheat luck!"
"In any case, even if this person only has the rank of a refiner or a mage, but relying on the strength of the Nine Mountain Army and the luck of the title, it is difficult for us to resist..."
Xiao Jiji said: "Fortunately, this person is with us!"
Yuan Tai was finally able to interject at this moment: "That's right, that's the reason! The stronger Nanshan real person is, the greater our confidence will be. As long as we survive these three months and make Li Rubi the prince, we will immediately turn around and leave. What?"
Hearing this, it is completely layman's words.
Wu Ming and Xiao Di looked at each other, and they both smiled wryly and shook their heads.
…
Jiushan County is located in the middle of Caozhou. The hills in the county are undulating, the mountains and rivers are broken, and there are nine giant peaks forming a natural barrier, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, hence the name.
Li Rubi started the incident very quickly, at the beginning of the year, he immediately defeated the county soldiers and spread his fame.
Nanshan Weng repeatedly said that the green forest bandits entrenched in the mountains took refuge, and after three months, they had over ten thousand troops and defeated the army sent by the governor.
At this time, another batch of army horses were robbed, and several counties were seized in a row. The momentum was huge and the whole prefecture was shocked.
Jiushan County is the base camp of this person. Wu Ming and others walked all the way, but they saw devastation everywhere, ruined villages and fields, dilapidated counties and counties, and even more turbulent troops. It was unbearable.
Fortunately, Wu Ming and the others were strong and strong, armed with weapons, and looked quite capable. Ordinary wandering soldiers would not dare to offend them.
After running for half a day, we arrived at the old camp of the Jiushan Army.
Wu Ming looked around, and saw several camps standing in a row above the wilderness, with fifty or one hundred people as a camp, dug drainage ditches, patrolled by people, heavily guarded, looked at Qishu, and saw the sky above the camps The black and red aura is continuous, with a sense of solemnity and awe, which is quite impressive.
"Heroes, listen up! My generals are thirsty for talents. If you have martial arts and martial arts, you can enter the camp for selection. Only talents are selected, and there are gold and silver women! We will be rich together!"
At the gate of the camp, there were a few people holding gongs and drums, shouting loudly, and a recruitment notice was posted beside it.
From time to time, rogues in twos and threes, or desperadoes, or even hunters and cavalry heroes joined in and entered the camp gate for assessment.
"The state soldiers were defeated, and the imperial court was furious. They dispatched a general with 6,000 elite soldiers to join the state soldiers and county soldiers, and they were about to attack again... Li Rubi naturally wanted to recruit the dead, and fight to the death..."
Wu Ming and the others knew the inside story, seeing that the army was in good shape and had some hope, they stepped forward and said, "I want to join the army too!"
"Okay! You are all good guys, please come inside!"
The eyes of several gates brightened immediately.
They welcome and send them off every day, with sharp eyesight, you can tell at a glance whether there is any goods in their stomachs, whether they are good men or not.
Moreover, even if it is a straw bag, those who can bring their own bow and harness are considered elites.
Immediately, he didn't dare to be negligent, and led all the way into the door.
As soon as they entered the camp, they saw several huge school yards, which could accommodate thousands of people without being crowded. There were wooden frames on each side, on which were placed swords, guns, swords, halberds and axes, long bows and red targets, and several big horses. It can be used to show riding skills, but I have practiced too much, and some foam at the mouth.
Everyone was being assessed here, and in a few villages not far away, there were shouts of shouts and shouts of killing. It was obvious that they were recruits and they were still training.
The guards at the gate went in to report, and not long after, the camp tent was opened, and a military general with big ears, bearded face, and half-bare upper body came out, and his eyes lit up when he saw Wu Ming who stood out from the crowd.
This class of soldiers will accept everything they say, and apart from other things, the bow and horse that Chong Chong brought with him are enough to pay back the fare.
It was a little strange to see Xiaodi as a woman, but he didn't take it too seriously.
"It's you, wanting to join the army?"
This will glance sideways, but at this time his face is not showing at all, with a critical and beating look.
"That's right, next to me are Wu Ming, Xiao Ji and Yuan Tai. They are all rangers from other states. They admire General Li's prestige, so they come here to join them!"
Wu Ming came out, clasped his fists and saluted.
On the other hand, Xiaodi and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard that this guy had changed his pseudonym again.
"Our army does not accept useless people, what are your abilities?"
"I am not talented. I have also practiced martial arts for several years. I have excellent martial arts skills and can read a few words!"
This general smiled: "Okay! Tang Sheng, go and try his martial arts for me!"
"Obey!"
A soldier next to him saluted and came to the field with a stern expression on his face. He slowly pressed his waist knife, and a trace of murderous aura emerged.
'This man's martial arts temperament is quite different from those of the previous tooth soldiers! '
The tooth soldiers are the generals' pro-army, not ordinary, but they will preside over the new barracks, so naturally they have them.
"excuse me!"
Wu Ming exited gracefully, his hands drooping slightly: "Please!"
"You don't need a weapon!"
"Too big!"
There was someone next to him with disdain, but Tang Sheng, the dental soldier, did not change his face, only a cold light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly rushed forward, like a tiger descending a mountain, slashing down with a long knife: "Kill!"
These elite soldiers who climbed out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood were not moved by the outside world at all, and they didn't care about the evaluation that the strong bullied the weak and won by force.
The martial arts learned are all open and close, killing and injuring the enemy at the minimum cost.
Even, with the murderous aura and evil aura on his body, when he pounces together, the martial arts of opponents who are not strong-minded will be greatly reduced.
laugh!
The blade fell, but Wu Ming's right hand exploded, caught in the light of the blade, quickly grabbed Tang Sheng's wrist, and immediately snapped.
when!
When the long knife fell to the ground, Tang Sheng turned over and stood up. One arm had been dislocated, and cold sweat fell down, but this man was brave and didn't say a word.
