Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 410 True Form Wings, Pioneer for the King

Feel the remaining warmth in your palms.

Lin Huaiyu stared fixedly at the distant mountains and forests, her eyebrows slightly curved and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The crazy roaring sounds in her ears seemed very far away at this moment, and she couldn't hear them clearly...

He raised his left hand and shook it in the wind, and saw a strange creature that looked like a fish and a bird painted in red ink on the orange silk.

Although it is called a fish, its ribs actually have a pair of gigantic wings that appear as if it is about to fly, and a sense of soaring into the sky fills one's soul.

It's called a bird, but its body is plump and round, covered with fish scales...

[Kunpeng's true form]
After just one glance, Lin Huaiyu felt a black screen before his eyes, as if he had arrived in the vast sky...

It was pitch black above my head, and when I looked down, the distant earth beneath my feet was also pitch black, with no stars or moon.

It was as if everything was covered by endless dark clouds.

"No, this is not a dark cloud..."

A ray of light flashed before my eyes.

Lin Huaiyu raised his head and looked towards the sky, and saw a long sword faintly appearing in the distant sky, beyond his sight, sweeping across the void, leaving a hazy light and shadow.

Then, there appeared an indistinct number of dense sword shadows, crisscrossing the void, stretching for who knows how many thousands of miles...

Just looking at the faint light and shadow, Lin Huaiyu felt his heart tremble wildly.

Suddenly I understood.

What was that shadow of a long sword that I saw?
Those were wings, of unknown length, but with feathers sticking out from the tips.

With his soul shaken, Lin Huaiyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and countless insights came one after another.

She suddenly opened her eyes and gathered her mind.

He knew that now was not a good time to reflect, so he finished his work first and then returned home to meditate.

He then stretched out his body and joined the fight...

The sword light set off heavy waves of blood.

Lin Huaiyu's mind was not here, but he thought of something.

"My senior brother hurried back to Qingyang to give me the True Form Map and taught me such a miraculous secret cultivation method. I wonder where he learned it. I wonder if Qingnv also learned it. Most likely she didn't."

Thinking of this, she felt sweet, but also a little worried.

"The intelligence said that 30,000 soldiers from the Longmu Village in Nanzhao Wanze are advancing eastward along the river. There are also countless water monsters, and the unfathomable Nanlin Monster Chief, who is extremely difficult to deal with. Brother, this trip..."

'It's a pity that I'm not strong enough, far inferior to my brother. Otherwise, we could fight the enemy side by side, and I wouldn't have to wait on the side when something really happened.'

Only half an hour passed.

The three thousand totem monsters and eight hundred monster beasts that were running all over the mountains were all killed. The mountains and forests were filled with blood, and the roars of beasts came from all directions.

The ferocious beasts that originally lived in the Black Mountains and guarded their territories also began to riot.

Lin Huaiyu ordered them to stop and put away their swords, and ordered coldly: "Clean up the battlefield, immediately withdraw from Black Mountain, leave a group of elite troops to guard the key roads at all times to prevent the beasts from coming down the mountain to hurt people."

"Yes."

The more than 2,000 Ping An soldiers who had experienced the bloody battles had a few more cold auras between their brows. Most of them were wounded, and dozens of them died in the battle. At this time, they should be treated, and the bodies of the dead would be collected and buried. At that time, they would be given pensions and their families would be taken care of.

This money was paid by the public...

It is inevitable that there will be casualties in a war.

It just depends on the size of the damage.

Lin Huaiyu looked at the bodies being carried out of Lin Zi, among whom were some familiar faces that she had seen before. Her heart ached slightly, but she regained her composure.

'Perhaps this is the real reason why Senior Brother single-handedly intercepted the enemy first?

If the enemy's strength is not weakened in advance, and the army really attacks the three counties of Liyou, more than dozens of people will die.

It could be thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people...'

'It would be great if these people could be used to farm. The food they grow can feed many people.

Oh, by the way, Senior Brother said earlier that there are some grains and weapons in the warehouse below the city wall, and they need to be transported away quickly.'

……

Zhou Ping'an felt relieved when he left the third young lady to handle matters at the rear.

He had long discovered that Lin Huaiyu not only had extraordinary comprehension, but also had an enviable aptitude in martial arts. Moreover, she also had talent in domestic affairs.

Maybe her talent is not outstanding in tactics, but in the general direction, there are basically no mistakes.

When she first came to Qingyang City, she ran Baoyaofang, competing with Baicaotang, and even showed signs of catching up.

In the end, all aspects of the city's people's food, clothing, housing and transportation were managed very properly.

You don't have to worry too much.

Of course, letting Lin Huaiyu take charge of Qingyang's internal affairs is really a waste of his talent.

Who said we are seriously short of manpower now? That's all we can do.

'In general, we still need to eliminate the threat from Guangyun County as soon as possible and take off the label of bandit.

Otherwise, not only will they be deliberately targeted by the imperial court, but they will also attract some ignorant and dangerous martial arts masters.'

'Ten thousand taels of silver, even an old thief or a big mountain bandit would be tempted.

Even those who claim to be righteous and loyal to the court may sneak in and want to take his head in exchange for a bounty.'

Since he killed Yue Chengtian, the "Heavenly Sword King", Zhou Ping'an's fame has naturally increased as expected. But not all the news that followed was good, of course there was also bad news.

The news he got from Qingnv also made Zhou Pingan feel a little worried.

He really didn't want to be a "pioneer for the king"...

He didn't even want to draw attention to himself, let alone use the name of rebelling against the king.

I just want to farm well, organize my land, and accumulate more food.

To the best of our ability, we will keep the people alive and ensure they have enough food and clothing.

Because, once you become the first to stand out.

Naturally, you will become the target of public criticism.

However, he does not have enough territory and troops, nor does he have enough talents and experts. He will be targeted from all sides and will be fighting wars all day long, and he will not be able to expand his power.

So, although Cui Guangling's move was just some talk and posting a wanted order... it was extremely vicious and a conspiracy that was extremely difficult to break.

If you want to change this situation, there is only one way to go.

'You say I'm a rebel leader, so I'd better really be a rebel leader.

Raise the banner, sweep across the counties, expand your power at lightning speed, and make people feel cautious. This is the way to protect yourself.'

Of course, all these plans have to be postponed. First, we have to overcome the invasion of monsters.

He could already guess that if he fought to the death with the monsters and his combat power was severely damaged, not only would no reinforcements appear, but someone would frantically take advantage of his misfortune from behind.

Therefore, in this battle, we must not show our weakness... We must attack aggressively and preemptively to keep the enemy out of the three counties.

"When the time comes, you must be bold."

Some dangers are not worth taking.

But there are some critical moments and some battles that have to be fought.

Zhou Ping'an followed the marching route of the Yaoman detachment and traveled more than 130 miles in the Black Mountain Range before he came out of the forest and followed the Wenxi tributary to the Lijiang River.

By the time we got here, we had a rough idea of ​​where the Yaoman fleet was.

Everywhere you look, you see dense crowds of people, bringing their families with them, migrating towards Dongshan and Pinghu.

"Hurry up, if you're any slower, those damn things will catch up with us."

"They really are cannibals. They pity me..."

"Where is Lord Li? Isn't he leading the troops to guard Huling Pass? Why doesn't he intervene?"

"That was also a beast. A water monster entered the village and no one came to rescue. We finally managed to escape and some people reached the pass, but they were shot back by arrows..."

Zhou Ping'an stopped and probably understood some things.

These people, with their families and faces covered in dust, seemed like the people on both sides of the Li River.

"Old man, you've taken the wrong road. This direction is Dadong Mountain. There are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards ahead, and the mountain road is also dangerous and difficult to travel.

To get to Dongshan City, there is a port about 70 miles ahead, the terrain is slightly flat, and it is not difficult to walk."

Zhou Ping'an saw an old man in relatively neat clothes directing everyone to turn. After thinking for a moment, he walked up to him and said hello.

He had just come out of Dadong Mountain and knew how dangerous the mountains were.

There were as many as four to five hundred of these people, most of whom were the elderly, the weak, women and children. It was unknown which village they were migrating from. They even carried iron pots and broken bowls with them, and some of them were even carrying door panels.

At a glance, there were such people everywhere, walking in sparse groups and stretching as far as the eye could see.

With this kind of team configuration, if they were to force their way over the mountains and across the ridges, countless people would die on the way.

The wild beasts in the mountains have become more and more cunning and ferocious. It is obvious that they gained a lot of benefits during the last spiritual tide.

Even a skilled hunter has to be careful when entering the mountains.

What's more, if a large number of people go in at the same time, it will alarm the herd of animals and be like sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

"This... Young Master, I know that there is a good road to take a few dozen miles ahead.

However, that group of monsters and barbarians may come ashore and kidnap people at any time, and the water monsters are even more ferocious and terrifying.

If we really walked along the river, I’m afraid that before we even reach the dock, there would be only a few people left after the food was eaten.

There is no other choice but to risk passing through the mountain."

The old man's face was full of misery, but there was not much despair in his eyes.

Perhaps, in his opinion, even if half of the people died while climbing the mountain, it was better than being eaten by the monsters...

“I heard that Dongshan and Pinghu are now occupied by General Ping’an, and the people in both places are living a good life.

I really regret it. Why didn’t I bear to leave the bottles and jars at home and follow the outsiders to Qingyang City?

My niece sent a message through someone to tell me that she is now working in Qingyang City and eats three meals a day, which are either rice or flour. Even my little grandson is not hungry.

General Ping An even sent a teacher to teach those kids about literacy..."

"Yes, yes, my cousin also sent a message over...

He had a broken leg, so he made baskets for people, and ate rice every day, and occasionally meat.

A boy of about thirteen or fourteen nearby heard what was said here, and he sucked the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "When we get to Qingyang City, I will go to my cousin.

I can work, I don't need three meals, just one meal of white rice is enough."
