There is a mountain a few miles away from Deyang Town, called Qingfeng Mountain. It is not high, but it is the highest mountain within more than ten miles around. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the whole of Deyang Town on the left and the magnificent Bibo River on the right.
Originally it was just a barren mountain, but that day many people came to the mountain.
The entire mountaintop was covered by a blanket of white. It was not snow, but white silk and white paper money.
In the depressing atmosphere, countless low cries are heartbreaking.
Hundreds of new tombs stand, and each tomb represents the passing of a life. If someone died of old age, perhaps the living people would not be too sad, but in the tombs, many people left the world in their prime.
A few days have passed, and the Lan family and Niu family in Deyang Town have prayed for their deceased relatives. Today is the day of burial.
Lan Shuang knelt in front of the grave, his eyes were red. He could no longer shed tears. His body was trembling slightly. He hated the demons of the Blood Lotus Cult. He originally had a beautiful family, but now, his mother and brother have become a corpse.
The cold body lay in the grave.
All of this is thanks to the Blood Lotus Sect!
"Mom, brother, you are watching here. Next, I will use the sword in my hand to kill one after another Blood Lotus Demon to avenge you. Until the last moment of my life, if I can kill all the Blood Lotus Cult demons in my lifetime,
People of the Lotus Sect, I will come back to see you again, and I will never return to you until I destroy the thieves and bandits!"
The unforgettable pain and hatred turned into Lan Shuang's vow never to return.
Bye, bye again, Lan Shuang kept kowtowing, his head banging on the ground. He knew that after leaving, he might never have a chance to come back.
Finally, he stood up, grabbed a sharp sword beside him, took a deep look at the grave mound, and resolutely turned around and went down the mountain.
The same goes for the Niu family cemetery not far away. Niu Jian and others said goodbye to their buried relatives, took their weapons and left.
There were more people at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, tens of thousands of people gathered.
In the center of tens of thousands of people, ten thousand people stood out the most. They were wearing armor, swords, and horses neighing beside them. They stood there one by one, looking at the top of the mountain.
These 10,000 people were the armed forces formed by Deyang Town to rush to the county seat. The soldiers and armor were not standard and looked a bit messy, and some even looked old, but they were well maintained.
Standing there, some were looking forward to it, some were excited, some were apprehensive, some were uneasy, and some were afraid.
Life and death are uncertain here, and I don't know how many people will be able to return to their hometown.
The world is in chaos and the world is in catastrophe. Kill the enemy with a sword and bleed dry. When you encounter the enemy, you must be ruthless. Once you leave, you can return home!
The originally agitated crowd gradually became quiet after the remaining members of the Lan family and the Niu family came down from the mountain wearing mourning clothes.
Standing in front of the people, Lan Shuang had a calm face, took a deep breath, buried the sadness in his heart and said loudly: "Everyone, the beauty of life is spring flowers and autumn moon. However, the chaos in the world has affected the common people, and what happened to my Lan family is obvious to all. If
If this chaotic world is not settled, the family members behind you will not be able to escape this blood-stained world. Each of us has limited power, but together we are a trembling force. I will work with you to use
The sharp sword in your hand is used to defend the family behind you. It is not for the purpose of making achievements or being a high-ranking official. It is just to guard the pure land behind you until the last drop of blood is shed!"
Affected by Lan Shuang's words, the eyes of those present gradually became firmer.
But they are not well-trained soldiers and cannot respond loudly together to push the atmosphere to the top.
In the chaotic atmosphere, the new guard of Deyang Town, Tang Xu, appeared with his people. Behind him were many people, each holding a tray with spirits in the tray, which was quickly distributed to everyone who set out on the expedition.
He stood in front, raised his glass and said loudly: "Everyone, there is not much I can do. I can only practice it for you with a glass of wine. I hope you come back safely!"
After speaking, Tang Xu drank the wine in one gulp. The glass fell to the ground and shattered. He said loudly again: "Everyone, take care!"
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. The people below were not well-trained and drank wine. Some were silent, some smiled bitterly, and some were confused.
Tang Xu didn't take it seriously, and didn't expect the cohesion of this temporarily formed group. He looked at Lan Qingfeng and the others and nodded and said: "Uncle Lan, Uncle Niu, everyone, take care of yourself."
"Lord Guard, I'd like to express my gratitude to you for coming to see me off on this expedition. Please come back. We're going to set off next," Lan Qingfeng said with appropriate thanks.
"Okay, I won't bother you. Uncle Lan, remember to bring the roster and recruitment order. Someone will naturally arrange for you when you get to the county seat." After giving a final warning, Tang Xu led the people away.
"Let's go!" Standing in front of the people, Lan Qingfeng waved his hand and said loudly.
The next moment, thousands of people moved towards the county seat. Around them, countless relatives of those who went on the expedition bid farewell with tears.
Lan Xin, who was dressed in mourning clothes, sent her away again and again. She didn't know if she would see her relatives return after this farewell.
When the crowd was about to leave Deyang Town, the Lan family and the Niu family slowed down. Finally, Lan Qingfeng Niulanshan and the others walked straight to a pavilion on the roadside.
In the pavilion, Bai Yang stands with his hands behind his back, and a person has been waiting here for a long time.
Because the branch meeting had been held beforehand, he signaled Lan Qingfeng and the others to come directly.
In this expedition, the head of the Lan family and the Niu family personally led the team, so Lan Qingfeng, Niulanshan Niu family and Lan Shuang were all going. If they died on the battlefield, these two families would probably become the history of Deyang Town in the near future.
"Uncle Lan, Uncle Niu" Bai Yang nodded with a complicated expression when he saw them coming.
Lan Qingfeng looked much older. At this moment, he looked at Bai Yang and smiled cheerfully: "Master Bai, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after this goodbye. From now on, the Lan family and the Niu family will need Master Bai to take care of them."
"I will." Bai Yang nodded, with mixed emotions. You are all gone. If you can't come back, what's the point of taking care of your home?
"Master, if we can come back alive, we will continue to fulfill our original vows," Niu Jian stepped forward and said.
"You will definitely be able to return safely. By then, each of you will probably be a majestic general. Don't forget me then," Bai Yang nodded.
"General, I've never done this before, so I don't know if it's possible," Niu Jian scratched his head.
Bai Yang smiled, looked at Lan Shuang and said: "Brother Lan, I don't understand the art of war. I think you have memorized those military books by heart. You will get fame and fortune immediately. The next step is to see how you use it."
"I understand that the art of war is broad and profound. There are many ways to just boost morale. I tried it before, but it seems to have failed so far," Lan Shuang said with a bitter smile.
"It doesn't matter, take your time. After all, you have never been exposed to the art of war before," Bai Yang encouraged.
Then, he waved his hand, and one box after another appeared next to him.
Lan Qingfeng and the others stared, shocked at Bai Yang's magic trick.
"Uncle Lan, Uncle Niu, Brother Lan, there's not much I can do. One hundred sets of treasure armor sent by the Forbidden Martial Arts Hall, 130,000 marching pills, 30,000 first-grade armor talismans, 20,000 first-grade hemostatic talismans, and first-grade disease talismans.
There are 30,000 walking talismans, 18,000 first-grade sharp blade talismans, 10,000 second-grade golden and firm talismans, and 12,000 second-grade muscle growth talismans. This is all I can do at the moment. If I run out, I will have someone come back.
I’ll prepare it for you again.”
"Brother Lan, the art of war lies in learning and applying it flexibly. I hope you can use these things to win over people's hearts, become invincible on the battlefield, and eventually climb to a high position and wipe out the enemies."
Bai Yang pointed to a pile of boxes next to him and said.
Shocked, when Bai Yang told what he had provided, everyone present was shocked and speechless.
With these things, even a ragtag group of people can instantly increase their combat power tenfold!
"Young Master Bai, this is too expensive," Lan Qingfeng said in horror.
Bai Yang shook his head and said: "That's all I can do at the moment. I will send you good things in the future. I can't fight on the battlefield. You still need to protect the world. Don't say anything. Only by living can you have hope."
Opening his mouth, Lan Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "Thank you so much, Mr. Bai, I will keep this great kindness in my heart!"
These things are the entire inventory that Bai Yang has worked overtime in the past few days, and they are all taken out, just to increase the strength of Lan Shuang and the others.
No technological weapons were provided, after all, those would have too great an impact, and the quantity could not be guaranteed.
However, what they have provided is enough. As long as they have passed the initial adaptation period on the battlefield and Lan Shuang's tactics are skillful, it is difficult to say that the Chen Dynasty will not have a rising general star in the future.
"They have all gone far. Take your things and set off. I will wait for the news of your victory and send it here." Bai Yang glanced at the distance and said.
The sadness of separation is the most heart-wrenching thing.
Lan Qingfeng and the others waved people over to put the things away and keep them under strict supervision. Finally, facing Bai Yang, they cupped their hands and said, "Young Master Bai, farewell. We will not let you down."
"Take care" Bai Yang nodded and watched them ride away.
In the end, only Bai Yang and Lan Xin, who were dressed in mourning clothes, were left in the pavilion.
No one said anything, watching Lan Shuang and the others go away.
When they walked away, a petite figure came to the pavilion.
"Niu Huahua, you...?" Bai Yang was surprised when he saw the person coming.
The one who came was Niu Huahua. At this time, she was no longer dressed in red, but instead put on a close-fitting jet black armor with a long sword hanging on her waist. Even though her cute face looked heroic at this time.
"Brother Bai, I'm going to join the war too," Niu Huahua looked at Bai Yang and bit her lip.
Bai Yang frowned and asked, "What will happen to the Niu family's property after you leave?"
"Brother Bai, can you help me take care of it?" Niu Huahua said with a smile.
Bai Yang opened his mouth, sighed and asked, "Have you decided?"
"Well, the death of my mother and brothers made me know that I can no longer be carefree, and I have to learn to grow up," Niu Huahua said with a sad smile.
Bai Yangmoran, life can only grow if you experience it.
Taking a deep breath, Niu Huahua looked at Bai Yang and said bitterly: "Brother Bai, I know you don't like me, but I have you in my heart. I don't know if that means I like you. If, if one day in the future, I take control of you as a daughter,
With thousands of troops, I am no longer a carefree little girl. At that time, Brother Bai, will you look at me more?"
Shaking her head, Niuhuahua smiled when Bai Yang was about to say something: "Brother Bai, don't say anything. I know I'm wishful thinking. I'm leaving. If I can come back alive in this catastrophe, I hope that by then
Being able to stand behind you like a kitten sister and help you solve your problems..."
After saying that, Niu Huahua left quickly without giving Bai Yang a chance to speak.
