Chapter 28 The Second Realm

"The world is so vast and filled with all kinds of strange things."

After seeing off Zhu Bingkun, Ying Yi said to Zhang Ming who was accompanying him: "No one knows how many worlds there are in the vast void, and how many wonders there are in those worlds."

"The first realm is sneaky and destroys the world. What's there in the second realm?" Ying Yi laughed and shook his head and went back to Diqiu.

He still has a lot to do. For example, the sneaky plan for the first realm. He had already planned to refine a powerful elemental weapon, specifically to target the evil spirit that could destroy the world. The specific plan has been deduced after consuming hundreds of millions of humanitarian and national fortunes, and he plans to enter the refining stage immediately.

...

Only those who have experienced it personally know the feeling of teleportation.

It was a feeling of no heaven and no earth, everything was upside down. Only those with a strong body and a stable spirit can bear it. Otherwise, ordinary people would probably die of vomiting after just one teleportation.

This kind of transmission disrupts people's spirit and perception at the level of time and space. If you can't bear it, insanity is the next best thing, or even death is easy.

Fortunately, those who explore the second realm are the same as those who explore the first realm. They are both powerful soldiers. For example, Zhu Bingkun is the strongest among the strongest, definitely no worse than Wang Yisheng.

Unlike Wang Yisheng, Zhu Bingkun's group of soldiers landed directly in a mountain forest after teleportation.

Zhu Bingkun ordered the soldiers to spread out to explore the terrain, and then found a high cliff to look over.

The forest is so vast that you can barely see it. But since it is almost, it is not absolute. With Zhu Bingkun's eyesight, he looked east for a while and found some faint traces.

"There must be people in the east." He said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Gather the soldiers, let's go east."

Not long after, the scattered soldiers gathered together and walked eastward through the mountains and ridges for an hour. Standing on the mountain ridge, you can already see the plain in the distance, and there is a city hidden there.

Zhu Bingkun nodded: "We will station ourselves in the valley below."

Zhu Bingkun did not intend to contact the indigenous people of this world rashly before he was ready. First set up a temporary stronghold in this mountain, and then quietly explore the background of this world, and then make calculations after gaining something.

Setting up a stronghold is naturally a piece of cake. In the valley, dozens of wooden buildings were quickly erected, and walls were quarried to build walls. The two ends were blocked, gun towers were set up, and patrols were arranged. It was completed two days later.

During this process, Zhu Bingkun did not forget to investigate. A group of soldiers had gone out in disguise and returned just in time.

Then he reported: "General, there is a village six miles further east. My subordinates quietly observed it for half a day, and then tried to make contact with it, and learned something."

"Come and listen." Zhu Bingkun said.

The soldier said: "The village is extremely backward, similar to that of the previous Ming Dynasty. There are slight differences in clothing and hair accessories, but not much. The various tools are also extremely backward. The language is also Chinese. From the villagers, subordinates and others learned that Some news: The villagers call the leader of the country the Li family, and the country is named Sui. This mountain is Danan Mountain. There is a city outside the mountain, called Jiangyang, and there is a river beside the city, called Yangjiang."

After hearing this, Zhu Bingkun pondered for a moment and said: "If this is the case, I am afraid it is really a world similar to the Ming court of the previous dynasty. It seems that my general's luck is better than Wang Yisheng's."

The soldier smiled and said: "In the first generation, there was a lot of sneaky chaos and great obstacles. Although humanity is not declining in this generation, it is similar to the backwardness of the Ming Dynasty, so it is easy to conquer."

"That's right." Zhu Bingkun said: "Teach the soldiers to be prepared. They will have their own tasks tomorrow."

"Here!"

The next day, Zhu Bingkun left a hundred people to guard the stronghold, and divided the remaining 400 people into multiple groups, saying: "Go out in disguise and inquire around. With Jiangyang as the center and five hundred miles as the boundary. Focus on the background and culture of this world, and collect books , text. It will last for half a month and return after half a month."

"Here!"

So they all carried some gold and silver and quietly dispersed out of the mountain.

Zhu Bingkun also changed into a brocade robe, took ten soldiers in linen clothes, and headed out of the mountain.

The first stop is a small village outside the mountain.

The small village is located in a mountain bend, with only 20 or 30 households with more than a hundred people. They all have sallow complexions and thin muscles, clearly showing that they are living a difficult life.

There is a field outside the village where rice is grown, but it is extremely infested with insects. The villagers set up an altar outside the village to beg their father to sue Nana, which is extremely superstitious.

Seeing this, Zhu Bingkun couldn't help but said: "I think in the previous dynasty, if there was a disaster of insects and locusts, they would pray to gods and pray to Buddha. But I don't know that it is all false. Even using a bamboo pole to chase away is more useful than praying to gods and praying to Buddha."

"The people of this world are not wise enough." Zhu Bingkun came to this conclusion.

After taking a look from a distance, the group of people got on the road and headed towards Jiangyang. The so-called Jiangyang is a county town. It is not very big, but it has a large population. There are only checkpoints at the entrance to the city, and you have to pay a poll tax when entering the city.

"Thirty coins per person. If you don't have enough, you won't be allowed in."

The idle soldiers shouted, viciously stopped the people coming in and out, and plundered money from the people's hands.

Zhu Bingkun saw this, lost a piece of silver, and went into the city with ten followers.

"Such plundering is exactly the same as that of the previous Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even more brutal. Look at the people, every one of them is miserable. Look at the soldiers, desperately searching. I am afraid that the Sui Kingdom is about to overthrow in this world."

An older soldier sighed: "I still remember that more than ten years ago, your Majesty had not yet established the country, and the previous dynasty was still in power. How can one be so miserable? The thieves everywhere are very hateful, but when you think about it, It might not be out of necessity. Who would be willing to risk his life if he could have a full stomach?"

Zhu Bingkun nodded slightly: "Whenever the people cannot survive, the dynasty will overthrow."

Then he said, "Let's find a wine shop and inn to check it out first."

He stopped a passerby and asked for directions, and all the way he came to a three-story, clearly magnificent restaurant.

"This restaurant is extraordinary." Zhu Bingkun said.

The waiter heard clearly and came up to him with a white towel on his arm: "Oh, objectively, you are right. Our Ruyi Inn is the best in Jiangyang. We have whatever you want. Please come in quickly." !”

Entering the inn, there was a huge hall, bustling with many people eating and drinking. At first glance, they are all gorgeously dressed people. There are wealthy businessmen, officials, and students, but no common people.

Then he went upstairs, found a seat by the window, ordered some food and drinks, and ate slowly while listening to the conversations of other diners.

"There is a big commotion in Mingzhou. The rebels have captured the city. The imperial court has sent General Yangwei to lead troops to suppress it. I don't know what the situation is now."

"General Yu Wenyao shows off his power? He is a ruthless character. He even slaughtered 70,000 rebels last year!"

"Who says otherwise? This General Yuwen is the easiest to kill, but in this weather, it can only be cured by killing..."

"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say." One person said, "Irrespective of national affairs."

Others sighed.

"The emperor is going to draft again. Who is like a wolf and a tiger? Who has a daughter who has not yet left the court? Drag it out and judge it like a commodity. This is not included. I have a friend. His daughter's girl is so beautiful. Who knows how to be dragged away? He went out and never came back. Oh...how pitiful he is!"

"If you ask me to talk about the emperor's draft, it's clearly the concubines chosen by those evil officials. In this world of shit, well... it's not easy for me to do business. I've been blocked for ten miles and eighty, but I've been able to save my capital in the end. It’s all difficult.”
