Chapter 123 Scatter as refugees, gather as rebels!
Black Whale Swallowing the Sea Technique.
Yang Yu thought to himself, and with a thought, he got information about this martial art from the ingredients.
As his five senses improved, the feedback from the Cauldron of Gluttony became more and more detailed.
The Black Whale Swallowing the Sea Technique is not a Qi-conquering method, nor is it an external refining method, nor is it a sword-type martial art.
This is a strange secret that uses "Dantian to collect Qi and blood".
The five levels of foundation building are a process of strengthening one's own muscles, bones, skin, membranes, blood and marrow step by step from shallow to deep. This secret teaching of Qi Sect focuses on blood.
Turning the dantian into a sea and swallowing blood and energy in it can not only delay the decline of blood energy due to old age and physical weakness, but can also instantly burst out with powerful combat power.
"No wonder that Mrs. Shi suddenly exploded and I could hardly hold it down..."
Yang Prison said to himself.
Blood Qi is not internal energy. It must continuously flow through the body. While strengthening itself, it will also be depleted. This process is uncontrollable.
However, this Black Whale Swallowing Sea Technique can regulate blood and energy in one place, integrating concealment and explosion. No wonder it can be called superior.
"Storage energy..."
After being happy, I get a headache.
He acquired good ingredients one by one, but the energy storage of the Cauldron of Gluttony was always insufficient, and Yang Yu felt quite depressed.
It is urgent to speed up the energy storage of the Cauldron of Gluttony.
…
Six Doors naturally has no time limit for the tasks on the arrest warrant.
But it was a bit inconsistent to leave the city with the front foot and complete the task with the back foot, so Yang Yu stayed in the mountains to digest the gains and losses of this battle.
Seven or eight days later, I just left the forest with the monk Jiese.
"Hey, there are so many refugees."
Before he led the horse to the official road, Yang Yu was surprised.
Looking from a distance from here, the refugees fleeing on the official road are like a mass, no one can see the head and tail, and they don't know how many thousands to tens of thousands.
What is a little surprising is that.
Among these refugees, some were sallow and thin, as if they were seriously ill. Some were dragging their families with them, and some were driving carriages and carrying luggage. They were refugees rather than refugees.
"this…"
Monk Jingse was also a little surprised.
He walked quickly, and in a flash, he grabbed a refugee. The refugee was impatient at first, but when he saw Yang Yu coming with a knife, he showed fear.
Only then did they answer their doubts.
"If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to survive, who would want to leave their hometown..."
The refugee smiled miserably.
His name was Liu Shijiu, and he fled from Deyang Mansion. He ran for an unknown amount of time and almost died several times. It was not until he met this group of refugees that he survived.
According to him, this journey was so shocking that thousands of people on the road starved to death.
Jingse looked moved, but Yang Yu frowned:
"Although Deyang Mansion is not as wealthy as Qingzhou City, it is still wealthy. How could there be such a large area of refugees fleeing?"
There was no reason why Yang Yu was doubtful.
Not all Qingzhou is a bitter and cold place. Shunde, Mulin and Delin are the poorest, but Deyang has always been considered wealthy.
It is located in the southwest of Qingzhou, with plains, lakes and rivers, and more rain. Even if there is a disaster, it shouldn't be a drought...
"It has been two years since we saw a drop of rain in the southwest of Deyang. Several big rivers have dried up, the fields are deserted, and bandits are rampant. There is no way for us to survive anymore..."
The refugee was almost in tears.
Almost all of his family members were affected by the disaster, and he was the only one who died.
"Amitabha."
Jingse chanted the Buddha's name, took out the dry food on his body, and began to distribute it to the old and weak among the refugees with yellow faces and skinny muscles.
"There has been a severe drought for three years, and I haven't even heard of it..."
After letting the refugee go, Yang Yu felt his heart become cold.
Let alone a rainy and prosperous land like Deyang, even if Shunde Prefecture had a severe drought for three years, this would be a major event that would alarm Dao, Zhou, and even Tianting.
But the truth is, he hasn't even heard anyone mention it.
He didn't believe it, but he asked several people one after another, and it became more and more weird.
These people are very mixed, including those from Deyang Prefecture, Mulin Prefecture, and even those who fled from Shunde Prefecture.
Many people had just gathered.
After finally asking several people from Deyang Mansion and getting the same answer, Yang Yu finally realized that this problem was really big.
Someone is deliberately concealing this matter...
"Donor Yang, there is something wrong with this refugee team..."
At this time, Jiese said softly.
"Um?"
Yang Yu frowned and glanced coldly.
"As for the refugees, once someone gives food to them, they will be robbed and even fight. But before, when the monk distributed dry food, none of the refugees robbed it..."
Jingse looked surprised, even confused.
The reason why refugees are refugees is that, firstly, they have no way to lead and are not allowed to leave the prefecture and county where they are registered; secondly, they are in chaos and disorder, like quicksand.
Even if someone wants relief, they often encounter looting.
It is not uncommon for people to be robbed instead of being rescued, so that their entire family becomes a refugee.
How can someone like this who doesn't fight or grab look like a refugee?
"this…"
Yang Prison also noticed something was wrong.
The group of refugees in front of me probably numbered in the tens of thousands, some were sallow and skinny, and some were dragging their families with them, but there was an indescribable harmony about it.
It doesn't feel like fleeing, but like marching...
I couldn't help but be careful in my heart.
Half a year ago, there were records of county towns being captured in the three prefectures of Longyuandao, many of which were carried out by bandits pretending to be refugees.
Black Mountain City is an exception.
That place was too poor, and there were always only people running away, not refugees who came to die.
"The target of these refugees is Qingzhou City..."
The color of his face changed slightly.
There are tens of thousands or more refugees in Qingzhou, and there is only one place where they can eat, and that is Qingzhou City.
only……
"Tens of thousands of refugees..."
Yang Prison's heart tightened.
Not to mention that the previous counties were hit by refugees, and even if they hadn't, given Qingzhou's history, these refugees would not be allowed to enter the city.
Qingzhou City is not just the hub of a state.
It is also a big border city. Once the foreign troops invade and cross Liuji Mountain, these three major cities in Longyuan Road will be the three nodes of the most important line of defense in the Ming Dynasty border!
The only thing the Qingzhou soldiers can rely on is this majestic city.
They have every reason not to accept the refugees, and once these refugees are deceived, they attack Qingzhou.
What will happen then...
"This is troublesome..."
The two looked at each other and both saw the seriousness of the problem.
Those who are scattered like sand are refugees. Once they are integrated, they become "rebels"!
Qingzhou would not accept the former at most, but the latter...
Qingzhou is an important border city. In the city, there are 1,200 divine arm crossbows!
"Woo~"
However, before the two of them could move, a low and long sound of a horn could be heard in the distance.
Refugees have been discovered in Qingzhou City!
…
…
How spectacular are tens of thousands of refugees?
I don't know how many miles it is from beginning to end, but from a distance, it looks like a black dragon.
"Enemy attack?!"
Looking at the dark figure in the distance, Qingzhou City was suddenly in an uproar. Amidst the wailing of horns, the market outside the moat was even more chaotic.
At this moment, no one cared about the companions who paid the entrance fee. They tried desperately to enter the city, but were beaten back by the well-prepared armored guards.
I can only watch the city gate closing.
Chi chi chi~
Some people still wanted to get closer, but were forced back by a hail of arrows and warned.
"No one is allowed to enter the city!"
With a deep shout, the city gates were slammed shut, and on top of the city, soldiers in armor quickly opened up and spread all over the city walls.
The aura of iron-blooded killing instantly filled the entire city wall.
Even some of the leaders of the Lifu Gang changed their expressions at this time. The soldiers guarding the gate were from the state government, but those guarding the city defense were Qingzhou soldiers!
"Former captain, it seems like an enemy attack!"
Listening to the sound of the horn, someone exclaimed.
"Um?!"
Yuan Jingying, who was sitting in the middle drinking like a star holding the moon, his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
"Enemy attack? Could it be the Heavenly Wolf Royal Court?! No, how could they come to Qingzhou silently?"
Everyone else in the room was also shocked.
"I never imagined that I would still be able to hear the sound of the trumpet in Qingzhou during my lifetime!"
A burly man threw his wine glass.
In wartime, soldiers are king, and generals are like grass. Hearing the whimpering of the trumpet, everyone in the room became excited.
"It is absolutely impossible for the Heavenly Wolf Court to attack Qingzhou silently. It must be due to other reasons."
Yuan Jingying was also a little excited, but she still held it back.
"Could it be Changliu Mountain?"
Others wanted to say something, but Yuan Jingying had already stood up.
He was extremely fast, wearing armor, holding a sword, and carrying a long bow. In the blink of an eye, with a few taps of his feet, he was already galloping away on horseback. Not long after, he had climbed to the top of the city.
At this time, the market outside the city was deserted, and the true face of the team could be seen from a distance.
"That's a refugee?"
Thinking that the enemy attack was just refugees, Yuan Jingying felt a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he cheered up again.
Call the soldiers:
"When I went to Tongzhuanzhou Yamen, I told him that a large number of refugees were invading and seemed to be trying to storm the city..."
…
…
Woohoo~
The powerful sound of the trumpet echoed far away.
Seemingly because they saw Qingzhou City, the refugee team was in a commotion. Yang Yu and Jie Se were walking through it. Seeing the closed gates of Qingzhou City, their hearts tightened.
"Qing, Qingzhou City has arrived!"
"Then, is that Qingzhou City? Mother, mother, wake up..."
"Dad..."
The cries gradually started to sound, and the vast team of refugees became more and more commotion.
The vast majority of refugees do not understand the meaning of this horn at all. Even if there are a few who know it, it will not help at all. Without him, there are too many people!
There are tens of thousands of people, a huge crowd.
Even Yang Yu at this time couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart when he saw this turbulent sea of people.
"Stop!"
Jiese let out a loud shout.
His voice was so loud that hundreds of people around him were startled. However, before they could stop and look, they were swept forward again.
Boom!
Just when Yang Yu was about to forcefully stop these refugees, he heard a loud noise and the closed gate of Qingzhou City suddenly opened.
A carriage drawn by four snow-covered dragons came out slowly.
Several groups of soldiers filed out and formed two lines in front of the carriage. Accompanied by the sound of heavy hammers and drums, the curtains of the carriage were opened.
An old man wearing the official robe of a shepherd guard stepped out. His voice was not loud, but it could be heard for miles or even further.
The words are sincere, even with a whimpering sound:
"Wen Dong's incompetence has forced all the elders to leave their hometowns. It is really a big crime, a big crime!"
