Chapter 146 Star's Plan
King Yongnian didn't know what kind of means he used. The blockade of Shuzhou was very strong. Basically, all the places that could be entered were guarded. The rest were cliffs, and the master couldn't easily go up.
Spirit Sword Valley and Tiandao City spent a lot of money to send these hundreds of people to Shuzhou.
There are risks in coming in this time, but compared to the risks, the benefits are huge.
Therefore, the warriors who come in are basically people who are valued by the two forces, and the lowest strength is all seventh-rank warriors.
There are two forces on each side of the master-level warriors, each serving as the team leader, and they dare not come in too much. After all, the master-level warriors are not Chinese cabbages, and they are easier to be discovered.
After entering Shuzhou, these hundreds of people basically acted independently, got into various mountains, and used the treasure hunting instruments in their hands to start looking for various elixir and even medicine kings.
All the elixir obtained can be used by oneself to improve strength, so everyone is very active.
"Dangerous places... Tianheng Mountains, Tianshan Lake... the land of the three counties?"
Almost everyone saw a strange place on the map.
"In the land of the three counties, Lushui, Dieshui, and Yong'an counties, there is a hidden powerful warrior, you can go, but don't cause trouble, try to keep a low profile."
Other places are forests and lakes, only this so-called three-county land is a place where human beings live together.
This place is quite close to the place where I came in, only a few hundred miles away, but the place is a bit out of the way.
If it wasn't for looking for the elixir, some people would have been unable to restrain their curiosity.
Of course, there are some people who don't care about it. It's fine if they are monsters. Human warriors, even master-level warriors, dare not attack them easily.
Spirit Sword Valley and Heavenly Knife City are not small forces.
Any power in the world has to weigh and weigh if it wants to take action against them.
...
Basically, no one in Shuzhou knew that such a group of people had entered.
Because Shuzhou itself is in chaos.
King Yongnian devoted most of his energy to dealing with the people in Lingjian Valley and Tiandao City, as well as frantically gaining benefits in Shuzhou.
He basically doesn't care much about the internal affairs of Shuzhou.
There are monsters entrenched everywhere, but the strength of the warriors in Shuzhou has declined, and there is no way to deal with them.
House seemingly endless rain.
Not to mention the entrenched monsters, there are still some places where the local government extorts money and even cooperates with the monsters.
There are only a few villages with warriors like Qingshanzhai, most of the people dare not escape into the mountains.
The dangers in the deep mountains are not much better than outside without the protection of strong people, and may even be more dangerous than outside.
The pack of wolves that Qingshanzhai encountered before is the best proof.
People's lives are more than suffering.
Compared with those places, the land of the three counties is simply a paradise.
Many well-informed small forces or businessmen basically dragged their families to the three counties.
The population of the three counties exploded.
But there are many more who don't know the news, or simply don't have the ability to travel far.
Some are not allowed to leave by the government, some do not have the guarantee of force, and are afraid of being caught by monsters and bandits on the way, and some do not have enough food at home, so traveling far is courting death, and they will only die on the way.
It's ridiculous to say that, except for the inexplicable snow at the beginning, Shuzhou has basically had good weather and good food production in the past three years.
But the vast majority of the common people have some difficulty even maintaining their own survival.
People are weak and bullied, as long as they are not strong enough, there is basically no food left.
The end result is nothing more than an uprising.
In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, Shuzhou can be said to be the best place for uprising at present.
Although the government still has a certain force, it has been consumed too much in the previous big battle, and the remaining warriors in the small place are not strong, so they can rely on the number of people to pile up to die.
In some large places, this cannot be done, and the advantages of warriors are too great.
In some more prosperous places, there are families of warriors, large and small. Those people have vested interests and will not rebel at all. Some rebels who could not survive were severely suppressed, and there was no hope for them.
To really succeed, it seems that there must be a warrior to lead, but which warrior is willing to do this?
It was at this time that a person was born.
Mo Yang!
Since Mo Yang separated from Wang Sheng, he has continued to roam around in various places in Shuzhou, killing all kinds of monsters, defeating corrupt officials, and helping many people. Given the opportunity, Mo Yang has a great reputation in some places.
When Wang Sheng met Mo Yang before, there were only a dozen people around Mo Yang.
Now the number of people following him has exceeded 30, and all of them are warriors, and the lowest strength is the fifth-rank warrior.
And Mo Yang himself has changed from a seventh-rank warrior to a ninth-rank warrior, only one step away from the master.
There are already more than a dozen other younger brothers who have reached the seventh rank of warriors and can release their qi and blood.
No matter where it is placed, this is a force that is not weak.
Even stronger than any of the three major families before the breakthrough.
Not only that, but the most important thing is a man in black robe who is following Mo Yang.
He didn't show his face, but it was clear from the expressions of those around him that he was respected.
Mo Yang also respects this person very much, and often asks his opinion.
"Mr. Star, where should we go next?"
star!
The man in black is exactly Yue's fellow star, and he has found his son of destiny, Mo Yang.
"The next step is to find a place to settle down, and the time has come!"
"Calm down, Mr. Xing, there should still be many places that have not been rescued..." Mo Yang hesitated.
Xing said calmly: "Do you know where the most stable place in Shuzhou is?"
Mo Yang blurted out, "The three counties of Lushui, Dieshui, and Yong'an!"
There was still some pride in his tone. Although he was not the main force, he also contributed a little to the affairs of the three counties.
He had also heard about the current stability of the three counties.
Xing continued: "Why are the three counties the most stable?"
"Because... there is a strong man suppressing it, so other people dare not act rashly, for fear of offending some strong man." Mo Yang is still clear about this, and it is no longer a big deal to have a strong man hidden in the land of the three counties Big secret.
He even knows who this strong man is.
Yunsheng, who didn't know if it was his real name, left a deep impression on him.
That was the strongest man he had ever seen.
Stars are also masters.
But Mo Yang felt that Xing was not the opponent of "Yunsheng".
Hearing his answer, Xing nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's it. Only with the protection of the strong can a place be truly stable. Lord Mo Yang, you have helped many places, but there is one place comparable to this three-county place." ?"
Mo Yang subconsciously shook his head.
Even the place where Yongnian King Zhou Wutong was located was not as stable as the three counties. He had gone back to visit the places he had rescued, and they were either barely surviving, or they had changed to their original appearance.
"So, you need to find a place to settle down, gradually expand your power, and then you can ensure real stability!"
Xing's goal is of course not just the stability of a place, he wants the world, but he knows very well that Mo Yang cannot accept these things for a while.
So he directly started with the things that Mo Yang cared about the most.
Don't you want stability?
According to my method, a place can definitely be stabilized, and when it reaches a certain level, it will have to be fought.
Of course, Mo Yang can also choose to give up.
But what also needs to be given up is the "stability" he wants, which is unacceptable to Mo Yang.
The combination of ideals and ambitions, as long as you go up, you can't go back.
Mo Yang doesn't understand so many ways, but after going through so many things, he also knows very well that if he wants the real stability of the people, what he is doing now is only a temporary solution, not the root cause.
Star is right.
Mo Yang bowed and cupped his fists, and said respectfully: "Please teach me, sir!"
He knows that Xing has great talent and strength, so he listens to Xing's opinion very much.
Xing smiled and said: "First of all, we need a place, Anshui County in Baiyang Prefecture is very good, it is very close to the three counties, it can guarantee the supply of some supplies, and at the same time, it will not offend the masters of the three counties.
Not only that, Anshui County faces the river on one side and is surrounded by mountains on both sides. While it is relatively prosperous, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is very suitable as a place to settle down. "
The stars have already been calculated.
There's more to this place than that.
Baiyang Mansion is still far away from Tianfu City, the capital of Shuzhou, and it is not on the main road of marching. It will not be noticed by the forces of the current war. It is a suitable place for riots.
Of course, these words need not be said for the time being.
Ambition is not something that is cultivated slowly?
All that needs to be done now is for Mo Yang to occupy Anshui County.
They had been to Anshui County before, where the county magistrate colluded with monsters and sacrificed the people.
But that monster was not as powerful as the evil dragon. Mo Yang led people to kill that monster and solved everything.
It is very popular with the local people, and there is no resistance to go back.
The only problem now is that Mo Yang agrees.
However, Mo Yang did not disappoint Xing, and finally Mo Yang nodded.
"Okay, then go back to Anshui County!"
After so much experience, he also understood.
It is difficult to solve a local problem for a short time in the current environment.
In this case, it is better to guard a place and ensure the stability of that place.
He looked at the people following him and said, "Brothers, I originally planned to take you to resolve the injustice, but it seems that I can't do it now. I want to go to Anshui County with Mr. Xing..."
Mo Yang briefly explained the matter.
"I don't know if you brothers are willing to follow me or not?"
"Boss, do you need to talk about it?" Someone answered immediately.
"Brothers who are not willing will never force it, we are still brothers!" Mo Yang emphasized again.
"Boss, we are following you, needless to say, we will go wherever you go!"
No one planned to leave, all of them planned to follow Mo Yang to Anshui County.
Xing's face hidden under the black robe beside him smiled.
These things were all within his expectations.
The most reliable thing is emotion, and the least reliable thing is also emotion, it depends on how to use this thing.
Xing didn't intend to interfere, Mo Yang had already done well enough.
These are the foundations of the future.
"In that case, let's go back and go back to Anshui County. I remember that the last time I was in Anshui County was half a year ago, right?"
Mo Yang is still looking forward to going back.
This represents a new beginning.
After a few days, a group of thirty or so people returned to Anshui County.
After returning, Mo Yang discovered that Anshui County was once again occupied by a force, and the location of Anshui County was doomed to be targeted by many forces.
Although this force did not collude with monsters like the government, it was even worse than the government in terms of exploitation.
In addition to food, ordinary people are also allowed to enter the mountains to find elixir.
Life is no better than before.
This force is not very strong, so Mo Yang and his party quickly eliminated these people.
Then naturally it is to distribute food and money.
"Master Mo Yang, do you still want to go?" An old man did not go to distribute food, but came to Mo Yang and asked, his eyes full of expectations.
Looking at the cheering people and the old man in front of him, Mo Yang felt that Xing's opinion was correct, and said, "Old man, we are not leaving!"
"Wow, wow!" The old man was very excited, "Thank you, Mo Yang, for your great kindness!"
As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down.
"No way, old man!"
Looking at this scene, Xing smiled even more.
He knew that Anshui County would be occupied, and choosing this place would make it easier for Mo Yang to strengthen his faith.
Obviously, the current effect is not generally good.
Seeing this scene, Mo Yang probably won't leave.
It's all in the plan.
The next step is to "build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly".
Let's develop steadily for a period of time before discussing other things.
Of course, these nine words are not spoken now.
For Mo Yang, of course, his words mean that he has enough strength to protect more people.
In fact, there is no conflict between the two, and it can even be said to be quite harmonious.
This is the charm of language.
After comforting the people back home, Mo Yang and his party came to the county government office in Anshui County.
"Mr. Star, what should we do now?"
"It's very simple. Accumulate resources and become stronger. Only when you are strong enough can you have more. Otherwise, everything is empty talk."
Now is the best time to accumulate strength.
Because the situation in Shuzhou had entered a stalemate, King Yongnian simply couldn't spare time to deal with the underlying affairs.
"Master Mo Yang, the next thing you need to do is to break through the strength of the master level. You should have a clue, right?"
It has been a while since I followed Mo Yang.
Xing knew Mo Yang's strength very well, and was already very close to the master.
As long as a period of time, most of them can break through and become a master-level warrior, and their combat power will not be too weak. After all, those adventures don't happen casually.
"It should be soon, in a month or two."
Mo Yang knows his strength well.
"Then congratulations to Mr. Mo Yang in advance!"
As he spoke, Xing looked at a group of Mo Yang's younger brothers.
These guys are actually pretty good.
It is impossible for a martial artist who can follow Mo Yang to wander around in Shuzhou and survive, to be so weak.
There are two warriors of the eighth rank, eleven warriors of the seventh rank, fifteen warriors of the sixth rank, seven of the fifth rank warriors, a total of 35 people.
The strength looks luxurious, but Xing is not satisfied.
"You also need to improve your strength. For those who have not reached the seventh rank of warriors, their strength should at least reach the seventh rank of warriors. For those who have reached the seventh rank of warriors, it is best to upgrade one rank to the top, just to digest the recent gains."
"yes!"
Although Xing has not followed Mo Yang for a long time, he has a high prestige among the group of people.
So they didn't completely refuse this kind of order.
However, Xing's business has not been finished.
Strength is the foundation, but strength does not only include personal force, but also the forces under the banner.
He looked at Mo Yang and asked, "Lord Mo Yang, you probably want to protect more people, right?"
Mo Yang nodded.
"Then recruit people and expand your strength."
"Are we not enough people now?"
Xing said: "That depends on how many people you want to protect. If you are just like that one, you will have no problem protecting the land of the three counties. But if you want to protect more people, these people are now Not enough anymore!"
He is telling the truth.
With Mo Yang's current strength, he has no problem protecting two or three counties.
But with the current situation in Shuzhou, once Jiangyuan City was breached, it would not be enough at all.
The interests represented by Shuzhou now are really big.
"Not enough?"
Mo Yang was a lucky ranger before, so he didn't know much about these things.
Xing is not surprised, no, yes, just learn slowly.
These things are learned quickly with practice.
So Xing explained patiently, and said: "Master Mo Yang, you must have discovered that there are more elixir in Shuzhou, and it is not an exception. You must wait until Jiangyuan City is broken, then..."
He patiently explained some of these things to Mo Yang.
Mo Yang is not stupid, he understood these things very quickly.
And vaguely realized what exactly he wanted to do, he suddenly felt a panic in his heart, the panic of facing a huge responsibility.
Star was aware of this, but did not interfere.
Mo Yang was struggling mentally, he thought of those common people, and suddenly became firm.
"Star, can you tell me what to do?"
"Master Mo Yang, you have thought about it!"
Mo Yang closed his eyes and nodded, although he was still a little confused, but thinking of those people, he found that he couldn't leave at all.
His original intention of being a ranger was to quell the injustices in the world, and now he has reached an important choice point again.
He could choose to continue to be unrestrained, but he found that he couldn't make this choice at all.
A man can do something and not do something.
"I had a choice from the very beginning, one life, if God wants to take it, then let's take it!"
As he spoke, he looked at the star.
"Please sir help me!" Although the words were similar this time, the meaning was completely different.
Xing returned the salute respectfully, and said, "Don't dare to refuse, my lord!"
I don't know how far away, Yue suddenly raised his head.
"Xing, have you finally walked your own path?"
