When he was on Earth, before Xu Sheng traveled through time, the world was originally good.
But one day it suddenly changed!
At that time, before the world changed, who could have predicted it?
The same is true here. Although Xu Sheng only lived in the prosperous age of the Dayong Dynasty for a few decades, this prosperous age actually lasted for two to three hundred years!
I mentioned before that when Yingying and Lingling were young, the world was relatively chaotic, and it was still a prosperous time at that time! It’s not troubled times! It’s just that the economic conditions were not good at the time, and the court did not abolish the slave trade at that time.
In short, the current collapse of the imperial court is basically similar to the cycle of decline of dynasties in the ancient history of the earth.
In fact, there have been signs for a long time. After all, in Qingyang City, Xu Sheng could easily corrupt so many powerful people with his interests, which is enough to show that the court of the Dayong Dynasty is already very corrupt!
The rot has been accumulated for a long time, and it will explode at the first touch!
Xu Sheng had already noticed that the corruption in the imperial court was very serious, but in Qingyang City, relatively speaking, the oppression of the common people was not that serious and excessive.
So Xu Sheng didn't expect that the troubled times would break out so quickly!
But now it seems that the corruption in Qingyang City is just the tip of the iceberg, and the oppression of civilians in other cities is even more excessive.
Because this chaos also broke out in some other cities at the beginning.
However, when troubled times broke out, the imperial government's connection with the world was cut off, and the Yamen of Qingyang City became weak.
Suddenly, lawless people appeared in endless numbers, and the place became chaotic.
In the prosperous era when legal civilization existed, although Xu Sheng was powerless, he was still able to rely on his own mind to first achieve great success in business, and then use interests to bind various powerful people, thus turning his hands into a business. Clouds cover their hands and turn into rain!
Revered and looked up to by countless people!
Even he couldn't help but feel as if he was really powerful.
But after the troubled times, Xu Sheng suddenly woke up!
Understand how weak you are!
After the law collapsed, his so-called business methods could no longer be effective.
The dignitaries he was bound to were already unable to protect themselves.
In fact, many people have died!
The huge amount of wealth he had earned through business had actually led to him becoming a fat sheep in the eyes of countless desperadoes!
this day.
Lu Ba ran over quickly.
"No, sir!"
He reported to Xu Sheng with an ugly face: "The Jing family was killed by the Shadow Blade Sect!"
Xu Sheng's wives and concubines were shocked.
"What?" Jing Xiang's face turned pale.
"Our Jing family has fallen?" Jing Xin staggered.
"Of course, the whole army was not wiped out!"
Lu Ba explained: "The Jing family should have known that they could no longer hold on! So they led their trusted men and horses overnight to escort their clansmen in batches and directions to break out of the city! Not all of them could escape, but some of them escaped!"
Jing Xiang and Jing Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jingqiu's team was intercepted!"
Lu Ba continued to report: "After he killed the female family members around him, he fought with the Shadow Blade Sect members until they died..."
"What?" Jing Xiang's pupils trembled.
"Second brother!" Jing Xin also cried.
"Shadow Blade Gate, Xue Yidao!" Xu Sheng also gritted his teeth.
The Shadow Blade Sect is a terrifying sect that has risen in this area of Qingyang City during these troubled times.
Qingyang City has fallen!
All the agents, those who fled, those who died fighting, died in battle!
The county magistrate has been hanged at the gate of the government office.
The person who founded the Shadow Blade Sect is the current Shadow Sword Sect’s sect master.
His name is Xue Yidao.
His nickname is Blood Shadow Crazy Sword!
That's right, it was the murderer who killed Liang Yikun back then!
What is his real original name? Nobody knows.
All I know is that he uses the name Xue Yidao when he travels around the world.
This person is only in his forties.
But he turned out to be an innate master martial arts master.
He has a beard, not tall, relatively short, but quite strong!
The sword technique is very fast to perform.
When the sword was drawn out, the sword's light seemed to be a phantom!
This person has been wandering in the green forest during the prosperous era!
The court wanted him for many years, but they just couldn't catch him!
There were even times when the imperial court sent large armies into the mountains to suppress bandits, but the strongholds to which they belonged were clearly destroyed.
But he still allowed Xue Yidao to escape!
In the deep mountains and dense forests, an innate martial arts master like him who is extremely cautious and focused on escaping is really very difficult to deal with!
Even if thousands of arrows are fired at once, it will be useless!
Most of the arrows were blocked by the dense forest!
After that, he escaped with his own body!
If it were on a spacious flat land outside the mountains and forests, even an innate martial arts master would be shot into a hedgehog if he encountered an army firing thousands of arrows.
But it's really difficult to deal with it when it's running deep in the mountains and green forests!
I originally thought that was all.
This person may live in the green forest all his life!
Become a roving criminal!
Unexpectedly, troubled times are coming!
Give such people a stage.
He took advantage of the situation and rose up!
With the brothers he conquered in the mountains as the core team!
Created this Shadow Blade Sect with one hand!
My subordinates gathered a lot of heroes first!
In turn, it attracted many people who had no food to eat due to the troubled times!
He even wiped out many hostile forces in the surrounding area!
Now they are attacking the city and threatening to separate one side from another!
After the Shadow Blade Clan invaded Qingyang City, ordinary people without armed forces were miserably devastated, burned, killed, looted, and trampled by the Shadow Sword Clan members!
All the major families gathered troops to protect themselves!
There are also some families who cannot withstand the attack, give up resistance, and actively seek peace!
But even if you hand over all your wealth!
The whole family is still suffering!
All the men were slaughtered, and all the women were reduced to playthings!
The methods of Shadow Blade Sect are very cruel.
They are also very domineering.
I am simply too lazy to compromise!
Don't bother playing tricks!
I am confident that their strength is enough to sweep Qingyang City!
"What's going on now?"
Xu Sheng asked in a deep voice: "How long can our Xu Mansion be able to hold on?"
"Master. I can't last much longer, three days at most."
Lu Bashe said: "It could be tonight, or even the next moment!"
Xu Sheng couldn't help but remain silent.
"Fortunately, the master had the foresight to send our family and others to a safe city before!"
Lu Ba added: "Just me, there may be no way out! Unless we wait for the imperial army, but now it seems that there is little hope..."
Yes, the current situation is very bad.
The Shadow Blade Gate is wreaking havoc in the city!
Xu Sheng and other big families can only hold on with their troops!
As a person who has been wealthy for most of his life.
Of course Xu Sheng also raised a group of armed forces of his own.
In the past few decades, after acquiring huge amounts of wealth, Xu Sheng has always attached great importance to the bribery of people's hearts!
He has won the hearts of many knights and knights!
The general approach is, of course, to make the other party owe you a favor!
All kinds of favors owed to oneself!
The more you owe, the better!
In the prosperous times, there were some people with high martial arts skills who would have no choice but to use force to break the law.
But I don’t want to become a homeless person on the run!
Or you are in financial embarrassment but don’t want to break the law and rob your home!
The so-called "a penny that stumps a hero" refers to the prosperous era.
Basically, when meeting such people, Xu Sheng will win over them.
Throw money at it to show mercy!
Use your connections in the yamen to help him solve his problems and show kindness!
Then hire them as caregivers to protect yourself!
Over the past few decades, Xu Sheng has given them a good life, helped them solve all kinds of troubles, provided them with various resources for martial arts training, provided a good living environment for their families, and found good teachers for their children to study!
These things will be buried in a person's heart.
Therefore, when troubled times came, these people also tried their best to protect Xu Sheng!
After all, most people still repay their kindness!
Of course, when the troubled times first came, Xu Sheng had already asked his trusted confidants to send his heirs to cities where the world was still safe.
Although he also has many descendants hidden in other parts of the world.
But my own people in Qingyang City must still not be ignored.
At the beginning, although Qingyang City was in chaos, Xu Sheng remained unmoved under the protection of the armed forces raised by his family.
But who would have thought that war would break out all over the world later!
The court has too much time to take care of itself!
Various Jianghu sects took advantage of the chaos and emerged!
Now Qingyang City has fallen.
Xu Sheng had not yet had time to take his wives and concubines out of Qingyang City!
Because the Shadow Blade Sect's attack came unexpectedly.
Xu Sheng didn't expect it either.
Now trapped.
Soon, Lu Ba left.
"How to do how to do?"
"How come the world is suddenly in chaos when things are going well?"
"How can the people of Shadow Blade Sect be so cruel?"
"Can we escape?"
Xu Sheng's wives and concubines all looked pale next to them.
The world has changed!
No one expected it!
No one can escape the flood!
"We can only wait and see what happens."
Xu Sheng also frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have sent someone to contact the master of the Shadow Blade Sect to see if there is any room for recovery. If not..."
