The weather in late spring also started to get hot and cold.
The cooldown of the treasure grabbing incident in Xiaoyun Mountain dropped rapidly, and the warriors circulating in Pingcheng gradually dispersed.
Things in Jianghu are always updated very quickly.
Who lost in the sword fight with whom...
Wherever something new appears...
The new Dragon and Tiger List has not been released yet...
The small town has regained some of its former tranquility.
Pingcheng is not that small, but compared with some giant cities in this world with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, its size and scale are smaller.
In addition, it is located on the edge of a metropolis like Jiangning Prefecture, making it even easier to be forgotten.
Military strategists and politicians will never forget this place.
Report from the exploration horse.
Recently, the Wanping Army rebels in Jiangning Prefecture have been mobilized frequently, and there seems to be something unusual.
The people of Pingcheng did not know this news. What they could see was the rapid expansion of Pingcheng's army. In just one month, the army had expanded to ten thousand people.
Among the original government troops, some old, weak, sick and disabled were selected and kept for Pingcheng patrol.
The remaining elite tigers and wolves formed a new army under the commander of the rebellion.
It's called "Jianning Prefecture's Rebellion Army".
This army has a formal designation, and under Wei Tao, there are three generals: Longwei, Huwei, and Langwei, each commanding three thousand elite troops.
The three generals are Wang Meng, Liu Chuang and Xia Song.
All three of them were promoted from the position of general to the position of general. Among them, the three thousand elite soldiers led by Xia Song were directly managed by Wei Tao and can also be called the central army.
Thousands of people were fighting against the rebels, and they were declared to be 30,000 elite soldiers.
Thirty thousand elite soldiers are enough to affect the local battlefield in a region, and they are the main force in the partial division.
In early May, a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven will be held in Pingcheng.
The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is also the official ceremony for the succession of the city lord.
The lord of each city is the lord of the city who has been appointed by heaven. He is not only the imperial official, but also the local parent official.
Therefore, in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the handover of the ceremony is completed under the gaze of the gods.
Only then can you officially become the city lord.
Before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court came to Pingcheng to guide Pingcheng in completing various matters of the ceremony.
........
In Pingcheng.
Various lanterns, large and small, were hung up.
At night, the city is filled with twinkling lights, and the atmosphere of the celebration day becomes even more intense.
Half a month has passed since the treasure hunt at Xiaoyun Mountain.
During this time, Cao Su spent all day training his soldiers and practicing martial arts in the army.
The five hundred soldiers under his command are already in place, and the five direct centurions assigned to him are also in place.
They are Luo Yi, Li Li, Deng Bing, Zhou Bo and Wang San.
Luo Yi and Li Li often hung out with Cao Su, and they were labeled "Cao Party members" early on.
Deng Bing is a veteran general and has done missions with Cao Su before.
Zhou Bo was the younger brother of Zhou Qing, Cao Su's old leader, and a newly promoted centurion. When he came to Cao Su's camp, Zhou Qing, who was now serving as a captain in Liu Chuang's army, greeted Cao Su.
Among the few people, only Wang San and Cao Su were a little unfamiliar, but they were also strong men in their twenties, eight feet tall and with a strong physique.
In addition to a few centurions, there are many potential talents under his command.
For example, Shi Yong, Zhao Xi and others are all outstanding among Qi and Blood warriors, especially Shi Yong, who was born with amazing physical strength. After entering the realm of Qi and Blood, he soared into the sky. Now he has entered the realm of three bursts of Qi and Blood, becoming a powerful warrior.
The situation is just a matter of a moment.
Cao Su's battalion has strong soldiers and horses, and can be said to be the vanguard among vanguards.
The most important thing is that the general is also fierce.
Cao Su was Wang Meng's first general and had an outstanding record.
His own daily martial arts practice has been progressing rapidly recently, and in just a few days, the tempering of his arms has been completed.
Now let’s start exercising the legs.
According to the progress, he should be able to complete the tempering of his limbs and bones by mid-May, and then he can successfully enter the eighth level of the Strength Realm.
"I don't know what kind of effect will happen after using bone forging ointment."
Cao Su entrusted Dong Xuan to purchase bone forging paste that day. It has been more than ten days, but there has been no news from Dong Xuan.
When he purchased items from Dong Xuan, he always relied on his good personal reputation, buying first and paying later.
The amount of bone forging paste purchased this time was huge.
Cao Su then paid Dong Xuan a deposit of five hundred taels in advance.
The Dong family is known as a big family with a big business, so they wouldn't be greedy for his five hundred taels of silver, right?
"If something really goes wrong, you will definitely have to ask the merchant for reimbursement."
Cao Su thought in his heart that as long as the Dong family was still in the inner city, he would not be afraid of any trouble caused by big families like them.
Even in the eyes of Cao Su, who has a broad vision, he has never put big players on the front stage for discussion.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they are the ceiling and the local bullies in the city.
But in the eyes of the big forces, they are just a dish that can be manipulated at will.
........
late at night.
Linxian meal.
The residence of Zhaoxin Sect in Pingcheng.
Since Pegasus Zhuang sealed off the Zhaoxin Sect, the whole Zhaoxin Sect has been filled with indignation and has had several conflicts with Pegasus Village.
A few days ago, a disciple of the Zhaoxin Sect was beaten by warriors from Pegasus Village so badly that his hand was broken and he lay on the ground seriously injured.
The dissatisfaction of Zhaoxin Sect disciples with Pegasus Village has reached its peak.
Qiaoyun Pavilion is still in a dilapidated state, and no craftsmen have repaired the big hole in the middle.
Most of the disciples live in the guest rooms in Linxianshan.
Qiaoyun Pavilion has become a desolate place, no one has been there for more than ten days.
In the dead of night, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in Qiaoyun Pavilion.
It was silent and did not disturb any of the disciples of the two sects.
Although Pegasus Village has sealed off this place, when encountering a real master, it is still basically undefended.
Basically, you can come and go as you please.
The reason why the masters of Zhaoxin Sect can be contained is mainly because the disciples of Zhaoxin Sect cannot leave.
If the sect's deacons, elders and other masters all ran away, the sect would really be gone.
The black shadow was very familiar with Qiaoyun Pavilion and jumped slightly.
He jumped from the ground floor to the top floor.
"call-"
On the top floor, a sound of wind suddenly sounded.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A certain black figure slowly emerged from the darkness on the top floor. It turned out that it had been waiting here for a long time.
Two silent shadows met.
"Head."
The new shadow spoke.
The dark figure who had been waiting in Qiaoyun Pavilion for a long time was a woman. She was wearing a black robe. She reached out and took off her coat and hat, revealing a cold and indifferent face.
Surprisingly, it was Head Xiao of Zhaoxin Sect.
Master Xiao's face had lost all gentleness, and he said coldly: "Say."
Heiying felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously knelt down on one knee.
Baoquan said: "The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony will be held in three days. Pegasus Village insists on holding the ceremony outside the city, intending to use the momentum of the three thousand Pegasus Army to build momentum for Ji Ye."
"Currently, out of the three thousand Pegasus troops, two thousand Pegasus troops have arrived in Pingcheng."
"The Pegasus Army's home base, Pegasus Village, still has some troops left to protect Zhuangzi."
"The two thousand Pegasus Army is composed of one person and one horse. There are thirty-three power realm masters and nearly a thousand Qi and Blood Warriors. Among them, Ji Xiong, one of the two commanders of the Pegasus Army, will personally lead the army."
Ji Xiong.
Master Xiao's bright eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Ji Xiong is a master of the middle level of the force realm and one of the two leaders around Ji Ye.
If you want to deal with the Pegasus Army, you must kill Ji Xiong.
A master of the middle level of the force realm is a master who has cultivated inner strength, which is completely different from many low-level strength realm masters. If you want to deal with such masters, you must at least be a middle-level master of the strength realm who has cultivated inner strength.
Head Xiao asked: "What's going on with the government army today?"
The black shadow immediately replied: "The government army is training daily, and there is nothing happening."
Heiying felt that such a straightforward reply to the leader was not appropriate, so he added a few more sentences.
"Since Wei Kai left the government army, the government army has begun to expand its army. Now there are more than 10,000 people in the government army. On the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, the formation of the new army will be completed and it will become the Jiangning Mansion's rebellion army."
"When Ji Ye takes office as the city lord, Wei Tao will lead the rebel army to attack the Wanping Army."
"This is the news that my subordinates heard from the city before."
Master Xiao's face remained as normal, as calm as water, without any emotion or anger.
After hearing the news, there was no response.
The wind in Qiaoyun Pavilion became much stronger.
