Chapter 155: Bai Ling rises again, the world is in chaos
"what happened?"
According to public information.
At the end of June, Bai Wuxie, the leader of the Bai Ling Sect, sneaked into the palace and brazenly assassinated the emperor. However, due to a mistake in the palace ban, he succeeded.
Later, Bai Wuxie single-handedly broke out of the imperial city with absolute strength, gathered a group of rebels, and formed an army of 50,000 to besiege the imperial city.
Moreover, he issued a call to all Bai Ling believers scattered in the four counties of Yue State to respond to the rebellion.
"So, the Yue Kingdom is now finished?"
"What was the local reaction in the four counties?"
"Chief, there are endless turmoils in various places. Various righteous flags have appeared. Only a few dozen people dare to come out to cause trouble. In the local area, the big families have also taken action."
"This is the information Long Yuan collected in Anye City during this period."
There are twelve names on the list.
The Liushui Mo family, the Ouyue Wang family, the Hexia Li family...
They are all big and aristocratic families who usually don’t show off their appearance!
If you take a closer look, you will find that a large number of their children are in various counties and counties, serving as officials and generals. Their influence is intricately connected, and they can easily draw thousands of elite soldiers.
And below, there are a few more names.
The children of the two major clans, one is the king of Hexia, and the other is the fierce king of the giant rock.
They also began to raise their troops and called on the loyal people in the country to attack Bai Ling and the surrounding rebels.
In addition, various bandits and bandits appeared and looted places.
One state, four counties, and a population of more than two million.
Everything is in chaos!
How big of a mess is this?
The bad news doesn't stop there.
"Currently, it is difficult to convey news in Anye City because of the Mo family's rebellion."
Chen Xiang then said, "Chief, a large number of refugees are starting to pass by outside our An County."
"The Bai Ling cultists have also reappeared in Liushui County. According to reports from Anye City, there are even Bai Ling cultists entangled with refugees wandering around the county."
Chen Nuo's face sank, "I remember that the Bai Ling Cult Zuo Protector was not caught by General Xuan She, right?"
"Yes, General Xuan She defeated Bai Ling to teach Zuo Dharma in Liushui County, but he had strange skills and ran away in the midst of thousands of troops." Chen Xiang remembered this information very clearly. This is also an intelligence industry. A required course for personnel.
Guardian Zuo is not dead and may still be in Liushui County. Now that the Bai Ling Sect has revived, I wonder if it will bring trouble to Liushui County...
It's a pity that the strength is not enough.
Otherwise, troubled times are actually opportunities.
However, there is not enough time. Even if Chen Nuo has tried his best, he has only lit up the second round of the Hades. Although the rest has made progress, it is not significant and needs to be improved.
"We ordered Wei Shuao to train the township brave regiment day and night. All counties were strictly guarded and no refugees were allowed to enter the city without authorization."
…
The impact of the chaos in the world actually goes far beyond that.
Behind the scenes.
A deeper impact is taking place, but no one in the world knows it.
In the land of Yuezhou, countless people are dying, and blood flows into the earth and seeps into this land.
And under the county government office in every county town, a bright red stone is shining in its folds, exuding the color of blood.
And on Yuanci Mountain.
Among the three old figures, a strange old man with yellow-green skin and a bunch of insect wings behind him stood up and flew to the top of the mountain.
Watching the old man go up, the remaining two old men stood blankly.
The sound kept ringing.
"Every year, high-grade blood food is offered, practiced once every fifty years, and held once every three hundred years. Only in this way can we survive. If we were in the Central Plains, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to enjoy this kind of blood food. How about the three of us? It’s easy to have this pasture, don’t let it be taken away by the people from the Demon Palace.”
"This is natural. With the strength of the three of us, we are enough to defend this state. The Central Plains is not of the same mind."
"Yes, but do you have a candidate for the new master of Yuezhou?"
"Natural selection means that in troubled times, heroes will be born. Only such heroes can bring about a prosperous age, an increase in population, and an endless supply of high-level blood."
"good."
While the two were having a conversation, they were on top of the mountain.
The old man who looked like an insect had arrived. He opened his eyes, and there were actually densely packed compound eyes in his pupils!
All of them emit yellow-green light.
In the land of Yuezhou, there are large areas of farmland.
The insect eggs buried in the ground began to tremble.
"Practice...Practice..."
…
at the same time.
Outside Anxian City, the refugees came closer and tried to enter the city.
As a result, the city gate was closed tightly, and the soldiers on the wall kept yelling at him to leave.
The refugees below wailed and cried.
On top of the city wall, County Prime Minister Ning Tianya stood at the top of the city with a cold gaze, "Drive them away and give them three warnings. If they don't listen, shoot them with arrows."
The soldiers next to him looked at each other.
Most of them were front-line soldiers recruited by Ning Tianya for the county government. They had not experienced battle formations and were quite green.
"Here!"
At the critical moment, his newly recruited private soldiers and the rural warriors sent by the Chen family are still reliable.
A series of cold arrows were aimed downwards.
"This city is closed and does not accept any outsiders! Leave quickly, otherwise don't worry about the arrows!"
"Please, please, we just want to stutter..."
"Save us! My son is dying!"
"Mom, I'm so hungry..."
"Dad! Dad!"
"..."
The sounds of begging for mercy, howling, and kowtowing... are endless, and the sadness of the cries is shocking.
A group of half-clothed civilians stood miserably at the foot of the city, which made many recruits feel pity. They opened their mouths several times, but were suppressed by the people next to them.
Ning Tianya looked on indifferently.
Regardless of whether he has compassion or not, it is impossible for him to let the refugees into the city. His son-in-law had just told him before that the Bai Ling believers were scattered among the refugees.
If he dares to let the refugees into the city now, then he really has something wrong with his brain.
"three."
"two."
"one."
The cries below were still shaking the sky.
"Fire the arrow!"
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
The army is the army, and orders and prohibitions are necessary.
So, no matter who was below, they all chose to shoot arrows.
Flowers of blood splashed, and the sound of the waves fell silent.
Then...
"They don't want us to live, and we don't want them to live either. Everyone is fighting hard!!"
"Yes, fight into the city, grab food, and live!"
The refugees were gradually agitated, and their eyes became fierce.
at this time.
"kill!"
From behind, there was a roar of cavalry's feet hitting the ground, but it was Xuanshui Li Sima who arrived with his troops.
After a few charges, the tens of thousands of refugees were overwhelmed and scattered in all directions.
A killing was also averted.
Li Sima entered the city.
He came directly to Chen Nuo.
"Clan Chief Chen, Your Majesty is gone."
Li Sima just said this when he came in, and Chen Nuo nodded silently.
Li Sima looked surprised, and then said, "Colonel Xuanshui and General Xuanshe are gone too."
"Now that most of the imperial power in Liushui County is gone, only the garrison troops from various counties and a small number of elite soldiers from Anye City are left, which cannot deter the entire county. What should we do?"
It doesn't stop there.
The Liushui Mo family raised troops in Anye City, and they don't know what the situation is now.
As for what to do?
How do I know what to do?
If this were an ordinary world, I would have the heart to start building walls high, hoarding food, and slowly becoming king.
But not here!
Warrior... Envoy...
There is no room for implementation of many of Chen Nuo's ideas.
so……
"What does Li Sima mean?"
That's right, ask this man what he thinks. Since he came here in such a hurry, he must have something in mind.
"Clan Chief Chen, what if we vote for the Mo family?"
"Now the imperial court is afraid that it will overthrow. The more it loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away. The Mo tree has big roots and deep roots. It is a big and famous family in Liushui County. If we take refuge in it, we may be able to gain glory and wealth."
Li Sima said so.
Chen Nuo's eyes narrowed and he looked deeply at Li Sima.
It seems that Li Sima is related to the Mo family...
However, Chen Nuo has no thoughts of seeking refuge with others for the time being. Moreover, when it comes to fighting for the dragon, who knows who is the pioneer and who is the true hidden dragon?
Betting early or anything like that will only cost Chen's little family fortune.
It's better to stay away from the dispute and live in peace for a while.
With this thought in mind, Chen Nuo rejected Li Sima's proposal, but he didn't reject it completely and left some room.
afterwards.
Chen Nuo began to secretly gather the whole family in Chen Mansion.
Within the lobby.
Chen Nuo is at the top.
My mother, uncle, uncle, and wife all appeared here.
Below, there are rows and rows of Chen's children.
And he is still relatively prominent during this period, holding a certain amount of power and possessing a certain status.
"Everyone, our clan is at the point of life and death."
Chen Nuo was thunderous as soon as he opened his mouth.
It shocked everyone.
Later, Chen Nuo told part of the inside story about the chaos in the world.
"..."
"So, Liushui County will soon be unstable. Today's refugee attack on the city is just the beginning."
"What do you think should be done?"
One word.
The people below looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Chen Yong took the lead and said, "I think it will be enough to hold on to our four counties if the water comes and the soil comes to cover the troops. We may be able to expand outwards."
With Chen Yong starting, others also started.
"I don't think it's appropriate. After all, my Chen family has a shallow background. I have neither famous people nor overwhelming martial arts. Now, I don't even have a viscera realm. The only high-end martial arts in the clan are the patriarch and Chen Yong. If I'm not careful, It’s the end of the whole family.”
"Why don't you go back to your hometown?"
Someone said so.
Then he instantly got everyone’s surprised looks, like they were looking at an idiot.
"If you ask me, it would be better to expand the army. In these troubled times, maybe I, the Chen family, can rise to the top..."
"Skyrocketing? With our Chen family’s population? With our strength?"
"..."
"Clan leader, I suggest that our clan shrinks completely. We return to An County, abandon the other three counties, and just defend An County. In fact, it would be best if we can avoid this chaos. Unfortunately, in such troubled times, I am afraid that There is no such paradise." It was the uncle who spoke. He has managed half of the family's business over the years and has been greatly trained. He already has a sense of talent.
Chen Nuo's eyes flickered a few times.
Arcadia does not.
There is one deep in the mountains.
There is also one in Pian'an County.
