Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 30 One Year

one year later.

The soldiers were very fast. The King of Dongyang gathered the King of Zhenshui's troops and horses and merged them into one place. It was like a broken bamboo. In just one year, he conquered Yingnan County.

After the King of Dongyang raised an army to attack the puppet emperor, the puppet emperor's court was forced to deploy troops to the south, unable to push back, and the four counties in the north, which had shown signs of stability, became a pot of porridge.

If the King of Dongyang successfully wins the three counties of Pingshan, Xitai and Zhaoming, he will be able to encircle the three counties of the imperial capital.

The pseudo-imperial court has nowhere to go, and can basically declare its demise.

Pingshan County, Jiangzhou, Hening County.

A large part of the victims who fled from the north to the south stayed in Jiangzhou. Unexpectedly, just after the last birthday of Er'an, Jiangzhou would also be affected by the military disaster, and they had to flee to the north.

Not only the victims, but also most of the local people in Jiangzhou chose to leave their homes.

The bandits pass like a comb, and the soldiers pass like a grate.

For ordinary people, apart from fleeing, how can they survive in the face of natural and man-made disasters?

A long dragon winds along the road.

Qin Sang was sitting on a stone beside the road with a grass stem in his mouth. He was wearing straw sandals with holes under his feet. He was wearing a rough patchwork coat. His face and hands were pitch black. It's been a long time since I washed it, and it smells bad.

The water monkey Zhou Ning and another person leaned against the stone, dressed almost like Qin Sang, and lived three refugees who were suffering from the same illness.

This person's name is Zheng Kun, who has followed Bai Jianglan to learn martial arts for many years, and is one of the people Qin Sang met on the boat back then.

This year, Qin Sang abide by his principles and did not make much credit, but he couldn't stand his intelligence. Several key intelligences helped the army break through, and his name was registered with the prince.

In addition, there is also the county master covering it. He climbed to a high position in the blood-clothed building in just one year. Now he is one of the deputy hall masters of the military altar, and the position of the hall master has been undecided, which is reserved for Qin Sang.

Qin Sang looked up at the sun and counted the time silently. His seemingly dull eyes were actually always paying attention to the city gate of Hening County.

This road leads all the way to Duling County in the south. There are groups of refugees on the road, not only from Hening County, but also from Duling County to avoid disaster.

The army of the King of Dongyang was divided into two groups. The army of the West Road was led by the King of Dongyang himself. He was the main force of the King of Zhenshui and the soldiers and horses recruited in Yingnan County.

The East Road army was stopped under Duling County, and had been confronted with the puppet emperor's defenders for two months, and could not advance an inch.

Due to its dangerous terrain, Duling County has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and is known as the throat of Pingshan County and Jiangzhou.

Once Duling County is taken, the entire Jiangzhou will be free from danger. As the largest and most fertile state among the three states of Pingshan County, once Jiangzhou changes hands, it means that Pingshan County is not far from being occupied.

The pseudo-emperor was mad and mobilized his troops and horses. The entire Pingshan County's troops were pressed to Duling County. The army made dozens of storms, but they all returned without success. There were countless casualties.

The military tent under the city remained unabated, and the siege momentum continued. In the middle of the night, he quietly pulled away from the two side divisions, scattered into the mountains and forests, sneaked from the mountain trails, interspersed into the hinterland of Jiangzhou, attacked Hening County, and watched Jiangzhou City.

Hening County is in the hinterland of Jiangzhou. Now the entire Jiangzhou army is gathered in Duling County, which will make the state and county empty. Once Hening County is broken, the defenders in Duling County will be in a dilemma.

There are many mountains and forests in the southern part of Jiangzhou, and the Xueyi Building has already figured out the route, and the surprise attack strategy is very likely to succeed.

The strength of the two branch divisions is already very considerable. If the Duling County army insists on not returning to help, they will simply continue to replenish their strength, defending Hening County and looting supplies, it will also make them uncomfortable.

Qin Sang brought Zhou Ning and Zheng Kun into the refugee team. His task was to get to Hening County as quickly as possible, to control the situation in Hening County, and to strive to open the city gate of Hening County when the two soldiers arrived. , to take Hening County in one fell swoop to avoid chaos.

Hening County was also on the defensive. The strongmen and yamen in front of the city gate were facing great enemies, with swords and swords in their hands. Once unidentified refugees approached, they would be shouted and driven away, let alone entering the city.

"It's almost time, why hasn't that kid Liu Ji come?"

Qin Sang heard the Water Monkey's complaint and looked down. The Water Monkey was small and had a broken arm. With this outfit, it was so miserable that it couldn't be more miserable, more like a refugee than a refugee.

Since the broken arm, the water monkey has become a lot more stable, so Qin Sang agreed to accept him to do things under his command, but after all, his nature is hard to change, and he likes to talk a little when he has nothing to do.

Water Monkey knew what to do, but Qin Sang didn't reprimand him, so he said, "Wait for another hour, Lao Zheng, keep an eye on those wealthy households who make porridge, and you must enter the city before dark."

Liu Ji is a person from Xueyilou, his ancestor is from Hening County, and he was separated from Liu's own clan when he went out to do business. After joining Xueyilou, he was arranged to return to Hening County to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, and he took some people to hide in Hening County.

After Qin Sang arrived in Hening County this morning, he immediately released a secret signal to ask Liu Ji to pick them up into the city.

"okay!"

Zheng Kun grinned, rolled on the ground and got up, hunched over his waist, and limped into the line of refugees, waiting in line to serve porridge.

Qin Sang felt that sitting on the stone was a little conspicuous, so he jumped down and sat on the ground, letting the water monkey keep an eye on the city gate, while he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Infiltrating the ranks of refugees, hurrying day and night, seriously delaying cultivation.

Qin Sang knows which is more important. Although he has complicated affairs after joining the Xueyi Building, he has never stopped practicing, and he has hardly slept for a whole year.

This year, Qin Sang has been wandering around the battlefield, hiding at the outermost place, letting Yan Luo collect the souls of the undead.

However, Qin Sang didn't know the depth of the Jade Buddha, so he didn't dare to let the King of Hell go. Every time he collected a certain amount of souls, he took it back.

With a steady supply of soul pills, Qin Sang has made rapid progress. Now he has reached the peak of the second floor, and it will not be long before he can break through the third floor of the "Netherworld Sutra".

As for "King Ming Gong", Qin Sang tried several times, but failed to cultivate true qi, which confirmed Qin Sang's guess that the 'qi' generated by "The Netherworld Sutra" is not the same thing as true qi and internal force.

Qin Sang had no choice but to give up because cultivating internal skills would occupy the time of the "Netherworld Sutra".

"Soul Reaper" and "Shadowless Step" have been tempered from time to time, and now his attainment is not low. In addition, he has also selected a few martial arts himself, so he can be regarded as a first-class master without Yama.

At this moment, Qin Sang suddenly heard heavy footsteps approaching him, opened his eyes alertly, and saw a person who was also disguised as a refugee.

When the man came to his side, Qin Sang frowned and asked in a low voice, "Zhang Wenkui, why did you leave without letting you follow General Wang?"
