Deep in the hills near Longjiang in Jialing Mansion, in a mountain village, the bandit leader bowed his head and looked at the girl in red sitting in the hall with a smile on his face.
He couldn't help but laugh inadvertently. The girl in front of him was a ruthless character who held a pair of hammers and captured his cottage in one go.
Good guy, three thousand minions forced this aunt to kill them all.
Look at those pair of gilt copper hammers. They will be injured if they are rubbed, and they will die if they are touched. Who dares to be disrespectful?
I really don’t know how this aunt, who is clearly a slender girl just by her figure, has the strength to swing the two copper hammers weighing more than a thousand kilograms with ease and ease?
This girl in red, who is revered as a god by the bandit leader, is none other than Ding Peng's daughter Ding Yun.
At this time, half a year had passed since Ding Peng led his neck to kill. It has been two months since Fang Longye came to Jialing Mansion with dozens of "dead people" including Ding Peng's relatives and friends.
"You only know the locations of these few Li Hao's remnants? Explain everything clearly and don't give me any sloppy eyes." Ding Yun shouted softly.
"Grandma, ancestor, I am not talking about comradeship. Although I also served the Jiushan King at the beginning, I am not his direct descendant. It has been seven years since the defeat of the Jiushan King. I really only know these few now. "The bandit leader begged for mercy with a look of helplessness.
"Okay, let me believe you. You go down first and help sort out the minions under your command."
"Then my subordinate resigned."
After the bandit leader went down, Ding Yun pinched his eyebrows and said to Fang Longye, who was meditating aside: "Sir, is this really useful? Although I have captured thirteen bandit villages. But these are the only ones that can be used for a long time." When can I train bandits who are not even considered soldiers?"
"It's only been two months, what results can you expect?" Fang Longye said with a smile, "To achieve great things, you must be patient."
"The King of Nine Mountains left behind a lot of good things in the southwest, including people, property, and armor... As long as you can integrate all the things he left behind, it will be enough for you to sweep through the southwest."
The Nine Mountain King that Fang Longye was talking about was a southwest rebel king that Ding Yun's father, Ding Peng, led his army to put down seven years ago. It was also that time when Ding Peng passed by Longyuan Mansion, he met Fang Xian, the original owner of his incarnation.
The king of Jiushan, whose surname was Li Minghao and whose courtesy name was Anmin, was originally a scholar in Sanchuan Prefecture. He lived a prosperous life, was bold by nature, and acted decisively.
Seven years ago, he was inspired by a so-called master named "Nanshan Weng", who said that he had the aura of an emperor, which aroused his ambition, so he recruited troops and started to rise in one fell swoop.
He raised troops in Sanchuan Prefecture and successively attacked Longyuan Prefecture, Jialing Prefecture and Linchuan Prefecture.
Perhaps due to his good luck, everything went smoothly after Li Hao raised his army, and he easily took over a large area of southwest Zhang country. After taking over the four prefectures, he proclaimed himself king and gave him the title of king.
His name is, Nine Mountain King!
Well, it sounds quite majestic and domineering.
The title of key is the standard grass-headed king in troubled times, the cannon fodder who clears the way for the real dragon~
So, within a year, he died. Seven months, to be exact.
After all, as the saying goes, a broken ship still has three pounds of nails.
The state of Zhang was weakening day by day, and was defeated by the Cang state in the north. Only half of the country was left. The emperor was still incompetent and only focused on pleasure. But despite this, Zhang Guo, in addition to the elite soldiers and generals of the Northern Expedition, still had millions of troops to suppress the four sides, barely maintaining its majesty.
Although Li Hao came from a powerful local family, his personal abilities were so poor that he lost his surname and name in vain.
After receiving the advice at that time, I thought I had my destiny and directly declared myself the king!
It would be okay if he didn't become the king, but with the impudence of Zhang Guo's court, he might just be given a job by the general manager of the Four Prefectures to appease him.
But now that he is king, it means something different. No matter how stupid and cowardly the emperor is, he will react immediately.
So, soon, Zhang Guoxian's 200,000 troops gathered to block Li Hao's attack on the state capital. Then directly mobilize the elite troops on the northern front to go south to quell the rebellion.
Li Hao himself was too childish to raise an army. Except for a small number of elite soldiers, the other soldiers under his command were just grassroots who joined halfway and had not been reorganized.
As a result, they were defeated by the counter-rebel forces commanded by Ding Peng at that time.
When he was defeated and fled, he was pierced by random arrows and died, leaving only the messy land of the Four Prefectures and millions of rebel soldiers.
Ding Peng led the frontier army, so naturally he could not stay in the southwest hinterland for a long time, so the finishing task was handed over to the general managers of the four prefectures.
But with Zhang Guo's rotten government situation, how can any of the general managers of the four prefectures fulfill their duties?
The fat man Xu Yang, whom Fang Longye searched for souls earlier, was already the number one "capable official" in the southwest region.
Therefore, after seven years, there is still no one to pick up the "gift package" left by the Nine Mountain King, allowing Ding Yun and his brother to take advantage.
"Don't be hasty in doing things. The King of Nine Mountains is a living example. Learn a lesson. Build high walls and store up food and become king slowly." Fang Longye warned him with sincerity.
Fang Longye didn't even know how the Nine Mountain King got into the ranks of scholars before he started his army.
Since ancient times, when dynasties compete for hegemony, the ones who stand out first die first.
But he was not only the first to rebel, he also became the king!
It’s okay to be the king. Even if he has no political wisdom, he is still a scholar. The king’s title is actually the grass-headed king that is only used by bandits and robbers like "King of Nine Mountains"...
Even if you call him King of Sanchuan, it is better than calling him King of Nine Mountains.
It’s really ridiculous.
I don’t know if he has ever heard of the saying “If you work hard for a long time, your efforts will fall short.”
The name is not chosen blindly, it often affects a person's fortune.
Just like Fang Longye who died on the street in his previous life, "dragons fight in the wild, their blood is black and yellow", which is a perfect sign of great evil.
In this life, he was reborn as a monster and was born a fierce god. This name coincided with his dragon numerology, which was a perfect match. Otherwise, by the time he understands this truth, he would have already considered changing his name.
"Build high walls, accumulate food, and slowly become king?" Ding Yun thought thoughtfully, and then his eyes became brighter, "These nine words can be called golden words, sir, you are a great talent!"
Fang Longye said nothing, closed his eyes and fell into practice. Even if he is an incarnation, as long as he can make progress, he must work hard. After all, the incarnation will return to the original body one day. Will these progress be fed back to the original body by then?
Upon seeing this, Ding Yun quietly exited the hall, asked the men on duty outside to serve him carefully, then turned around and left to deal with various matters.
Shortly after she left, Fang Longye opened his eyes and smiled helplessly.
His original plan was to support Ding Peng's son to fight for the dragon, but after two months, he found that Ding Feng was only a middle-class person, and his sister Ding Yun was a first-rate person.
Although she is born as a girl, she has the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, and the courage that no man can match. The key point is that he is not like ordinary generals who rely on force and act violently. Instead, he is extremely calm and extremely intelligent.
She may not understand some truths, but with a little guidance, she can understand them and even introduce new ones.
Anyway, let’s take a look. At worst, I'll train a female empress.
…
Half a year passed by in a flash.
During this period, Ding Yun led a group of cronies to subdue the bandits in the entire Jialing Prefecture, and his power began to penetrate into the other three prefectures.
The remaining members of the Nine Mountain Kings scattered in the mountains and jungles were traced out by her one after another, and all kinds of swords, guns and armors that were left by the Nine Mountain Kings in the past were continuously collected. So far, 50,000 elite soldiers have been selected.
Therefore, deep in the hills where the four prefectures meet, a rare mountain peak was selected and named Minghe Mountain.
A large stronghold was erected, they acted in hiding, and they continued to train in hibernation.
One day, if you choose the opportunity to rise up, it will be earth-shattering.
On this day, it was just after the rain.
Fang Longye came to Minghe Back Mountain to enjoy the scenery and relax.
But the scenery in front of me is pleasant. The mountains and rocks are covered with verdant green, and the flowers and leaves are shining with red flowers.
Behind the cypress trees, moss covers the rocks, like green clouds covering the ground.
The mountains and rivers are like washing, and the whole person seems to have been baptized by the previous drizzle, and suddenly became clear.
At this time, Fang Longye sensed that someone was coming from a distance unhurriedly.
Then he turned around and looked into the distance. Not long after, a young girl appeared under a rock that looked like a lotus held high. Her hair was rolled up, her eyebrows were lightly swept, her crimson armor was on her body, and a sword was hung on her waist. She looked heroic and calm.
It was Ding Yun who was now secretly in charge of a force. As the distance gradually approached, he saw her slender and armored, with a calm expression and perseverance in her beautiful eyes. There is an inexplicable aura while walking with the sword.
However, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she has already lost all her glory, and no longer has the appearance of a little daughter. On the contrary, she still possesses a bit of the air of a master.
Not long after, she came to Fang Longye, stopped, bowed, and said with a smile: "Sir, I have a gift for you this time."
"Oh? What gift?"
"Sir, you must like it."
A quarter of an hour later, in the cottage pavilion, Fang Longye put down the jade slip in his hand and sighed: "I see~"
This jade slip belonged to the "master" who had previously given guidance to King Jiushan. Through its contents, Fang Longye finally understood the whole story of King Jiushan's rebellion.
I said that I was somewhat familiar with the character Jiushan King. Isn’t this just like a story from Chinese Liaozhai?
This "master" who instigated Li Hao to rebel and proclaimed himself the King of Nine Mountains was actually not a human being, but a fox demon.
He is one of the descendants of the Fox King among the many great demons that were purged by the Green Snake.
After a lucky escape, he practiced for many years and gained some experience. But he didn't dare to stay in the Shiwan Mountains, so he took his whole family to live in a populated place.
At first, this fox demon transformed into a human form and came to Sanchuan Mansion to settle down. It gave Li Hao a hundred taels of gold and silver to rent the abandoned house of the Li family.
Unexpectedly, Li Hao saw the clues and directly bought sulfur and other fire starters, burned hundreds of foxes to death with fire, and killed the whole family of the fox demon.
To be honest, Li Hao's handling of this matter was really unreasonable. Although the fox demon is a monster, it does not harm anyone, and it even offered real money to rent your house. Why kill them all?
It's true that a fox has no intention of harming others, but a person has a harmful intention.
What makes people's hearts evil is nothing more than this.
The fox demon used the pseudonym "Nanshan Weng" to instigate Li Hao to rebel in order to avenge his whole family.
After all, Zhang Guo's fortune at that time was quite good, and Li Hao, as a scholar, was blessed by the dragon's energy. If he, a little fox demon in the Chengdan realm, did it himself. When Li Hao was on the run, he would also encounter the backlash of dragon energy and be seriously injured.
At that time, it would be difficult to save its life in a populated area.
Unfortunately, although he succeeded in retaliating with the help of the Humanity Cauldron Revolution, the fox demon eventually suffered from inner demons because of the slaughter of his family, and failed to break through the soul and died. Before his death, he burned a jade slip to share with those who came after him.
"Did you find these in a secret treasure house left by the Nine Mountain King?" Fang Longye asked Ding Yun.
"That's right, sir. There are countless armor, bows and crossbows in this secret vault, as well as many spiritual materials and magical irons. These jade slips and magic weapons are next to the body of 'Nanshan Weng'." Ding Yungong, who was sitting quietly next to him, The voice replied.
"I think after Li Hao's defeat, he hid in this secret warehouse to practice. I just didn't expect that the legendary 'Nanshan Weng' was actually a fox demon and had such a grudge and entanglement with the Jiushan King." Obviously she also I have read the contents of the jade slips.
The way to read jade slips is not just through spiritual exploration. Mortals can also read this type of jade slips without "code".
Just put the jade slip between your eyebrows, close your eyes and wait. The information recorded in the jade slips will be transmitted to people's minds in waves.
Fang Long Yehun didn't care, he only looked at the luck above Ding Yun's head that had transformed into a dragon snake, and said with satisfaction: "You have done well in the past six months."
Ding Yun shook his head and said: "If sir hadn't taken control of the general manager of Jialing Mansion, I wouldn't have been able to solve the food and grass problem alone."
Fang Longye waved his hand and said: "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This is not a problem of your ability.".
"Go and take care of things first, and come see me again at the Youshi hour. By the way, bring your brother with you then. I have something to tell you." He finally made up his mind and decided on the person he wanted to help the dragon with.
When Ding Yun heard this, his eyes moved slightly, then he bowed respectfully, stood up and left.
After he left, Fang Longye looked at the various remnants of the fox demon and sighed: "It's a pity that most of these are of no use to me. Even if they give me two more magical powers, they are still useless for transporting and moving scenes." .”
"But this string of thousand-year-old clam beads is quite interesting." Fang Longye reached out and took the string of bright orbs in front of him into his hand.
There are 31 in total, each one is about the size of a fist and glows brightly with the moonlight. Mana input, shine brightly.
"The prototype of a good natural magic weapon. However, although we already have corresponding refining ideas, we still have to improve our cultivation level first." Fang Longye shook his head, put it into his storage bag, and planned to Then hand it over to the main body.
The "prototype of a natural magic weapon" means that either due to the shape of the material or the innate spirituality, there is no need to refine it with fire or water or change its form. Instead, you can directly add forbidden spiritual materials to it to refine various types of magic weapons.
Similar to clam beads, they are tortoise shells, which are born with Tao patterns and are excellent materials for refining weapons.
Another example is the storage bag currently used by Fang Longye, which relies on the magical refining of the stomach bags and fur of some monster beasts.
Well, for example, it can easily swallow snake skin and python skin that is much larger than its own prey~
After all, the Technique of Hu Tian is not some bad magical power. As for directly opening up the mustard space without relying on magical powers or spiritual materials, at least you have to wait until you become an immortal.
He put the remaining spiritual materials into his bag, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the showdown soon.
