Cao Su fell from the sky and stepped on the ground on the top of the holy mountain.
Shi Yong, who had been waiting on the top of the mountain for a long time, came up to greet him.
"grown ups."
On the top of the mountain, there were not many left by the rebel army, and most of them were Qi-blood warriors with low martial arts.
Cao Su glanced at the empty mountain top.
A few days ago, this place was bustling with activity.
Cao Su asked in a deep voice: "Have you seen the commander or General Wang?"
Shi Yong and other Qi-blood warriors nodded.
"I've seen them before. They left a few hours ago, frantically chasing a young warrior holding a sword."
How many hours did it take to leave?
Then they are probably all running down the mountain now...
"Sir, what about us?"
Zhang Ke was a little at a loss.
Don't know what to do next.
Cao Su said: "Pegasus Village has undergone drastic changes, and the Lord of Pingcheng has died in the realm. The chaos in Pingcheng will definitely continue for a while, but I don't know if the commander will be stationed in Pingcheng."
Zhang Ke understood: "If the commander is stationed in Pingcheng, then Pingcheng can still withstand external offensives."
Cao Su shook his head.
"The commander is stationed in Pingcheng and cannot withstand external attacks. If I guess correctly, Wanping's army must have entered the boundaries of Pingcheng at this time."
"Pingcheng is in turmoil, and our rebel army has suffered heavy casualties. Pingcheng's thoughts are wandering, and it is no longer possible to unite the joint efforts to defend the city."
Cao Su didn't say anything to death.
But once this simple analysis is told to everyone, everyone will understand.
In the past, the reason why Pingcheng could be defended was because the morale of the government troops was high, and because Pingcheng had to be defended from top to bottom.
But what's Pingcheng like now? It's in chaos. The rebel army, the government army, the Pegasus army, the big families, the sect forces... all have their own plans.
Cao Su even guessed that Wei Tao might have anticipated this, so he had no intention of defending Pingcheng.
Defending Pingcheng was his early gesture to show off to the court. It not only established his reputation as a loyal minister, but also successfully accumulated political capital, promoted him to a higher position and made him rich.
Now that Pingcheng has been lost, what does it have to do with Wei Tao?
Wei Tao is the lord of Jiangning Mansion and the commander of the rebel army. He has already resigned as the lord of Pingcheng City.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they were confused.
"Captain Cao, what should we do?"
People can't find their way, so they have to grasp at straws.
Cao Su was silent for a while.
Then he said slowly: "Since everyone worships me as the captain of the school, I will definitely protect everyone's safety."
"Now we have found many brothers in the Heavenly Palace. After brothers leave the realm, please don't run around and follow me."
"As long as we stick together, there's no need to fear big winds and waves?"
His words were so arrogant.
The image at this moment, in the eyes of many rebel soldiers, looked extremely majestic and domineering.
"That's right, listen to Captain Cao!"
"Just follow Captain Cao!"
The commanders and generals were chasing some realm token all day long. Even if they were all warriors and knew the value of the realm token, they couldn't help but have some thoughts in their hearts.
It's just that these thoughts have been suppressed in my heart and have not been exposed.
Compared to the two unreliable generals, Cao Su is more convincing at the moment.
Cao Su waved his hand and led many soldiers of the rebel army down the mountain, including dozens of people in front and behind.
All the way back to the realm channel, nothing happened.
At this time, the realm passage above the wasteland was already very small.
Only one person can pass through.
Compared with the previous width, the boundary channel is obviously shrinking rapidly.
"After the realm channel is closed, you will no longer be able to enter this realm without the realm token." Zhang Ke whispered beside Cao Su.
"What will happen if you are forced to stay in this world?" Cao Su asked.
Zhang Ke was stunned. He was well-informed, but this was the first time he heard someone ask this question, and he couldn't answer it for a while.
Finally, I scratched my head and gave the leader a reply: "Maybe I will become a resident of this realm?"
"Then what will happen if you are forced to stay in Tianmen?"
Cao Su asked another question.
Zhang Ke was confused by the question.
The palace city in Tianmen is big, dark, not even a ghost, and full of gloom. Can you survive if you stay there?
Zhang Ke guessed uncertainly: "Then he should die, right?"
Cao Su thought of the shriveled withered hands he saw in the first windowless room, and it seemed that there really was a "person" inside.
"Is it possible to survive?"
He asked Zhang Ke again, and before Zhang Ke could answer, he laughed himself: "Have you ever heard of the living dead?"
Living dead?
Zhang Ke forced a smile, he really had never heard of it.
"Walk!!"
Cao Su stopped staying any longer, waved his hand and ordered, and many rebel troops walked into the realm passage one after another.
Then the figure twisted and disappeared into this world in an instant, without making any more noise.
........
Pingcheng.
The dilapidated city lord's mansion.
The black smoke covering the City Lord's Mansion has dissipated, but the entire City Lord's Mansion seems to have been burned by fire. Dark wood can be seen everywhere, and the air is filled with a burning smell.
Cao Su led the rebel army and walked out of the boundary passage.
There is no one waiting outside the boundary passage.
The entire city lord's palace was quiet and there was no sound.
"City Lord's Mansion......"
The soldiers of the rebel army had mixed feelings in their hearts. In the past, they were all soldiers, and the city lord's palace was the soul building of Pingcheng. Now it has been destroyed like this.
Walking onto the streets of the inner city, I saw that the whole street was deserted.
"Where are the people in the city?"
The rebel soldiers under his command were shocked.
Finally, after walking two streets, I met an old man with a broken leg.
The old man lay down under the big locust tree and took a nap. When he saw Cao Su and other rebels approaching menacingly, he opened his slightly cloudy eyes and did not dodge.
"Go up and ask."
Cao Su winked at Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke then went up to inquire with his father-in-law.
After coming back, Zhang Ke's expression was obviously not right.
"Sir, I'm afraid all the big families in the city have run away."
The big boss in the city ran away?
The interests of the big families are deeply rooted in the city, so how can they just run away?
Cao Su frowned, how many days have they been in?
The time in the realm doesn't seem to be right. According to his calculations, it should only take three or four days to move back and forth in the realm. It's not like all these big households have completed the transfer in three or four days, right? At this speed,
It’s too fast!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cao Su asked: "Did everyone run away?"
"Everyone has run away, but there are still a few families left who will move out of here today."
The big households are a small group of people who control Pingcheng's vast wealth.
Once the big players leave, Pingcheng's economy will collapse.
Cao Su was deep in thought, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to have anticipated the decline of Pingcheng. It was impossible for the rebel army to defeat the Wanping army in Pingcheng without financial support.
"Leave the city and return to the rebel camp."
At this moment, there should be thousands of former troops left in the rebel army camped outside the city.
Part of it was Wang Meng's troops, and part of it was Liu Chuang's troops.
He led the rebel army and quickly rushed out of the inner city.
In the square outside the inner city, there are still countless corpses lying there, all of them are the corpses of the rebel army and the Pegasus army, and no one is coming to clean them up.
The popularity of the outer city seems to be slightly higher than that of the inner city.
Many poor people in the outer city had no information and could not leave, so they stayed in the outer city.
During the march, Zhang Ke inquired about several more pieces of news.
"Cheng Wei led the government troops loyal to him to leave Pingcheng. Pingcheng now has no government troops to guard it."
"An army of ten thousand soldiers marched from Jiangning Mansion to Pingcheng two days ago and will arrive at Pingcheng City in the near future."
"Many gangs in the outer city were fighting over something recently, and a large-scale fight broke out, and many people died."
"After the big families left, the price of food and meat soared. The people in Pingcheng were miserable and many people fled."
A few pieces of news, but no good news.
What Cao Su is most concerned about is Cheng Wei's developments.
Cheng Wei took away the government troops?
Then Cao Xing should have followed Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei swayed Wei Tao, what identity will he take after he leaves?
From a moral point of view, Cheng Wei is still a special general in Pingcheng and a serious official of the imperial court. He will not directly join the Wanping Army, right?
What future can the religious rebel army have?
Cao Su fell into a deep chain of contempt again.
He shook his head and quickly threw away this stereotype of being unrealistic.
We still need to analyze specific issues in detail. The religious rebel armies in this world seem to be really different.
I have suffered a lot before due to stereotypes.
During the rapid march all the way outside the city, Cao Su arrived at the downstairs of Songhua Restaurant.
He found out that the restaurant he frequented was also closed.
He finally walked to the alley outside his home.
"Sir, do you want to go home and take a look?"
A colleague who was familiar with Cao Su asked.
Cao Su took a deep look at the alley, which was quiet and deep.
When the early summer breeze blows, the leaves of the bamboo forest planted outside the alley rustle.
“Don’t watch anymore”
Although Cao's house is still there, the people inside are gone.
Cao Xing arranged for his family to go to Lingzhou, and Cao Su couldn't help but think of Xu Ping, whom he met at the martial arts school in the past.
At that time, I was still laughing at Xu Ping's trip north to Lingzhou, which was unnecessary.
Unexpectedly, the clown was himself.
If everything goes well, my parents should have arrived in Lingzhou by now, right?
"Everyone, go to the camp as quickly as possible without making any mistakes!"
Cao Su felt at ease and solemnly issued orders.
All the soldiers responded in unison and accelerated forward.
Residents on both sides of the street who had slightly opened their doors heard the rumble of footsteps.
He took a sneak peek, and then quickly closed the door again.
