With a bitter smile, Lan Shuang lowered his head and fell into silence.
Killing more demons from the Blood Lotus Religion is easier said than done. Not to mention the huge power of the Blood Lotus Religion, what can Lan Shuang do if he only has the cultivation level of a warrior?
To put it bluntly, even if the Blood Lotus Sect's people stand and let Lan Shuang kill them, how many more people can be killed until they die from exhaustion?
Understanding the helplessness in Lan Shuang's heart, Bai Yang thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said: "No matter how high a person's cultivation level is, his power is always limited. Now there is an opportunity..."
Lan Shuang's heart moved, and she raised her head without knowing why.
Bai Yang was about to continue talking when footsteps sounded outside the mourning hall.
Turning around, he saw a young man in white walking quickly. He looked about ten or twenty years old. He was a little chubby, but not ugly, and his posture was calm.
There were several black-clothed guards following this fat young man, looking around cautiously.
This person's arrival was not announced by his name, so he was obviously not a familiar person to the Lan family.
I don't know how to call "guests are coming", so the servant can only remind me like this.
The other party should have some background. Lan Qingfeng stood up and walked over and asked doubtfully: "I don't know what to call this young master? My Lan family has encountered a disaster. If there are other things, please come back another day."
The other party politely handed over his hand and said: "I, Tang Xu, have been ordered by the county magistrate to temporarily take over the post of guard of Deyang Town."
Lan Qingfeng frowned slightly, smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out to be the guard. I'm sorry. It's just that my Lan family... is not providing good hospitality now. Please forgive me."
Why is this new guard here if he doesn't manage the mess in Deyang Town?
"Don't say that. It's my fault for disturbing you. Uncle Lan is the mainstay of Deyang Town. There are still many places to rely on. Although I am new to the Lan family's encounter, I have heard about it and I deeply sympathize with it. Uncle Lan
"My condolences," Tang Xu said with understanding.
Is this the new garrison? The county magistrate acted quickly enough.
Bai Yang watched silently from the side. He could tell that Tang Xu was not a martial arts practitioner. His physique was not much stronger than that of ordinary people. In terms of fists, he was almost a scumbag in this world.
Bai Yang secretly observed the other party with telekinesis and found that he was not pretending to be a member of the Blood Lotus Sect, so Bai Yang felt relieved.
I'm afraid that after killing a bunch of people from the Blood Lotus Sect, another bunch will come again.
Tang Xu exchanged pleasantries with Lan Qingfeng, then took the three sticks of incense offered by the servant. He also lit the incense in a polite manner, and then went straight to Bai Yang.
Bai Yang raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Coming for me?
This guy came here in a hurry as soon as he arrived in Deyang Town. He wouldn't believe it if he said he was here specifically to revoke his name. Moreover, given the current situation of the Lan family, it was impossible for him to discuss matters with the Lan family...
"I think this is Young Master Bai, right?" Tang Xu came two meters away from Bai Yang and cupped his hands.
"I'm Bai Yang." Bai Yang nodded, as if you had something to say.
Looking left and right, Tang Xu whispered: "Mr. Bai, can you take a step to speak?"
"Okay" Bai Yang replied, glanced at the others to signal for peace of mind, walked out of the mourning hall and came to a corner of the yard outside. There was no one around. Bai Yang then turned around and asked Tang Xu who was following him: "Master guard, I don't know where to find you."
What's wrong with me?"
"Young Master Bai, please don't do this. Call me Tang Xu, Xiao Tang or Brother Tang. I don't dare call myself a guardian in front of Young Master Bai." Tang Xu smiled bitterly.
To be able to come to Deyang Town to temporarily guard the post, this guy is very shrewd. Of course he knows some of Bai Yang's deeds. He is very well-behaved.
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Tang. What does Brother Tang want from me?" Bai Yang asked helplessly.
Tang Xu didn't dwell on this matter. He glanced around, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Bai Yang and said, "Mr. Bai, here is a letter written by the county magistrate. You will know after reading it."
Feeling confused, Bai Yang took the letter and opened it in front of Tang Xu and quickly browsed it.
The general meaning of the letter is that this Tang Xu is a nephew of the county magistrate, and he has come to Deyang Town to temporarily guard the post. He hopes that Bai Yang will take care of him as much as he can.
After reading it over and over again, Bai Yang was speechless, then looked at Tang Xu and said with a smile: "I understand what the Lord County Lord means. If you can help me if you can, please let me know."
What does it mean to do your best? To put it bluntly, it just depends on your mood...
Tang Xu obviously knew that this was just Bai Yang's polite words, so he didn't point it out. He pondered for a moment and said: "Young Master Bai, I just came to Deyang Town now, and there is something that urgently needs to be dealt with, but the current situation requires Young Master Bai's help."
His mind was racing, and Bai Yang immediately understood and asked: "Is it about the formation of a force of ten thousand armed personnel in Deyang Town?"
"Yes, the world is in chaos now. This order was issued from the royal capital. All places need to recruit manpower to deal with the current situation. I learned about it. Now the Lan family and Niu family are the largest families in Deyang Town. If they didn't take the lead,
, this order is difficult to carry out, but now that the Lan family and Niu family are like this, it is difficult for me to pass on this order, so..."
"I understand what you mean, but you have also seen the current situation. What should I say?" Bai Yang said speechlessly.
"In view of the situation of the Lan family and the Niu family, I can extend the time to five days. After five days, I have to see their actions no matter what," Tang Xu said euphemistically.
This is probably for Bai Yang's sake. Otherwise, he could use the dynasty's righteousness to directly order the Lan family and Niu family to take action.
"Okay, I'll tell them." After pondering for a moment, Bai Yang nodded and said, this is unavoidable.
Tang Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He obviously knew the weight of Bai Yang. If Bai Yang interfered with it, there would be nothing he could do. So he said with a grateful face: "Thank you very much, Mr. Bai."
With his heart moving, Bai Yang asked Tang Xu: "Brother Tang, can you tell me, when a team of ten thousand people is formed, will they go to other places or be responsible for staying in Deyang Town? Whose orders will these people listen to in the end?"
"This...since Mr. Bai asked about it, there is nothing I can't say. After these people are organized, they will rush to the county seat to wait for orders. I don't know who will command them in the end. In short, where they are going.
Nothing more than three directions”
"First, go to various places to suppress the demons of the Blood Lotus Religion who are causing trouble. Second, fight against the rebels. Third, be responsible for suppressing the bandits and bandits who take the opportunity to cause trouble. The third place is the most likely to go. After all, they have not
After training, I am unable to fight against the rebels and the well-organized Blood Lotus Cult.”
Tang Xu said bluntly.
Bai Yang nodded, understanding, I'm afraid the specific whereabouts will have to be arranged in detail.
Then Tang Xu added: "Actually, when I set out from the county seat, most of the dozens of towns around Qingmu County had already organized manpower and rushed to the county seat. Now hundreds of thousands of warriors who dare to fight have gathered in the county seat. Brother Bai
I have never seen that kind of scene, the mountain of swords and the forest of swords, like a torrent, shocking the soul."
"Oh, it's just that, how many people will be able to return to their hometown alive in the end?" Baiyi smiled bitterly.
The world is in chaos, and the people at the bottom are suffering...
How could he not understand that these armed personnel formed by the private sector were actually cannon fodder!
Do you want these rabble to pacify the world?
Give me a break.
At the same time, Bai Yang was also shocked. A town needs to form an army of 10,000 armed personnel, and a county has dozens of towns. Adding the county itself, that is an army of hundreds of thousands. Let's say it is half a million.
, there are dozens of counties below one county town, how many people will be gathered?
millions!
What about a state capital? Tens of millions!
The entire dynasty?
...!
It’s not that I don’t know, but I’m shocked. Is it true that all the people have become soldiers?
Only this fantasy world where everyone is a martial artist can have such a situation. Because of their martial arts training, everyone is not afraid of death, and when they gather together, they become a big army!
Of course, as I said before, this kind of gathered 'army' is actually just a mob and cannot be compared with the regular army.
"Mr. Bai, just help me talk about the Lan family and the Niu family. I'll go in person for other matters, so I'll leave first." Finally, Tang Xu looked at Bai Yang and said.
"Well, business is important." Bai Yang nodded.
Seeing Tang Xu's leaving figure, Bai Yang's body couldn't help but tremble.
This Chen dynasty, with its boundless territory, may really become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. When hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of people gather into a torrent to fight together, what a shocking scene it will be?
In that kind of terrifying confrontation, any samurai, martial artist or even a grand master would be crushed to pieces!
"Mr. Bai, are you okay?"
After Tang Xu left, Lan Qingfeng, Lan Shuang and the others came over and looked at Bai Yang who was deep in thought and asked worriedly, thinking that something had happened to Bai Yang.
"It's okay" Bai Yang shook his head and said.
"Then why is Mr. Bai frowning?" Lan Qingfeng asked.
Looking at Lan Qingfeng, Bai Yang thought for a while and said, "Uncle Lan, the dynasty's military recruitment order still needs to be implemented."
"I have expected this. I cannot disobey the dynasty's orders. However, right now my Lan family..." Lan Qingfeng smiled bitterly.
"Five days, Tang Xu said that he can give five days. After five days, he will see the person no matter what," Bai Yang said truthfully.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Lan Qingfeng said: "Five days are enough. Even though it's a rush, it's enough for my wife and children to be buried."
"Yeah" Bai Yang nodded, then looked at Lan Shuang, his eyes flickering and said: "Brother Lan, if you want to kill the Blood Lotus Sect demon, you have a chance now!"
Lan Shuang was not stupid, his eyes flashed with hatred and he squinted: "Young master, what do you mean...?"
"That's right, taking advantage of this moment when all the people are in the army is the easiest time to achieve great results. Once you perform outstandingly in subsequent battles, it is not impossible to gain power. Once you have the power in your hands, Brother Lan, you are still afraid
Can't you kill the Blood Lotus Sect demon?" Bai Yang narrowed his eyes and asked.
"But, my skills are low..." Lan Shuang then said with a wry smile.
"Those with high positions are the key to controlling the overall situation. No matter how strong a person is, how many people can he kill? It is easiest to grasp power in the military, especially in the current troubled times. As long as Brother Lan shows his due military talents, he can control the power.
It's just around the corner!" Bai Yang cheered him up.
"But I don't understand military matters." Lan Shuang smiled bitterly again.
Bai Yang smiled and narrowed his eyes and said: "If you don't understand, just learn. Besides, isn't it me?"
"You? Are you saying that Master Bai wants to join the army?" Lan Shuang was stunned.
Sweating, Bai Yang shook his head and grinned: "No, what I mean is that you don't understand military affairs. I can teach you. I have a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War here that is probably enough for you to stand out. If not, there is also Sun Wu's Art of War."
There are also thirty-six strategies... Hehe, maybe in the future you will be able to sit in the Chen Dynasty's military marshal! The premise is that you don't die in the next march and battle..."
(This is also the porter’s job, um, that’s right…)
