I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

The outbreak of the Huangtian Uprising ignited the grievances of the people in the southern region of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty.

The central government of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty had always had poor control over the local areas, and the local areas had always been wary of the central government's interference. The two sides were quite divided, but they were very consistent in their contempt for the people.

As a result, in this wave of uprising, the local areas thought they could easily suppress it, but they were attacked by the rebels, who stormed the prefectures and killed officials. Cities were continuously breached, and a large number of bureaucrats, gentry, landlords, and wealthy merchants were purged.

When these local power figures realized something was wrong, the scale of the uprising far exceeded their expectations. Especially when many of their colleagues and allies were wiped out and the angry masses sought revenge, they panicked, rallied, and urgently formed alliances. However, they could only hold on to the major cities where their influence was relatively strong, losing vast rural areas and many smaller cities.

The central government was even more slow to react, only because the rebel forces had already become unstoppable. The local separatist forces kept the news tightly under wraps, refusing to let the central government know about this extremely unfavorable situation, using the excuse of interfering in their territory.

It was not until the rebels captured cities and expanded their uprising to the point where even the closed-off ears and eyes of the central government received the news that the truth could no longer be concealed.

Originally, Chu Shen had nothing to do with the chaos. He had no intention of joining the rebels or assisting in pacifying the Great Tang Xian Dynasty. He just wanted to leave Dengguo and activate the Earth Pulse Instrument openly, disrupting the spatial area, and return to the Langxian Heavenly Court.

However, unexpectedly, with the outbreak of the Huangtian Uprising, as the rebel forces used the teleportation array system between cities to continuously capture several major cities and many surrounding smaller cities, the entire southern region of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty was enveloped by the power of the Earth Pulse Instrument. Neither the authorities nor the rebels wanted to lose their strategic positions to the other.

Now, no matter which direction Chu Shen went, as long as he didn't leave the southern region of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty, he would no longer be able to use the Langxian Method to return.

In Linzhou City, a hundred miles away from Yongzhou City, the Forbidden Shens who were temporarily hiding here, including Luo Dang, had mixed feelings.

"Was this the uprising you were waiting for?"

Luo Dang no longer hid it from him at this moment: "That's right, including the assassination of Duke Deng, it was also to create conditions for this uprising."

The most powerful separatist force in the Great Tang Xian Dynasty was actually the several major military fiefdoms in the northern borderlands. They controlled the most elite border troops. Although during the process of separatism, the commanding officers of these fiefdoms also controlled financial and administrative powers, the backward productivity conditions and meager output in the northern borderlands determined the necessity for the central court to provide material supplies.

This is also the reason why the northern fiefdoms, although powerful, did not directly rebel. The logistics were still to a considerable extent subject to the central court.

The situation was different in the south.

The southern borderlands adjacent to the Great Yan Xian Dynasty and other countries also faced certain military pressure, but compared to the barbarian tribes in the north, the forces such as the Great Yan Xian Dynasty, which were also human nations, were much more civilized. Even in the event of conflicts, there were rules to follow.

This led to a common problem for the separatist forces in the south - weak military strength.

However, the geographical conditions in the south were much better than in the north. Even the underdeveloped borderlands were not much worse off than the most fertile regions in the north. This resulted in the separatist forces in the south being much more affluent in terms of material resources and wealth compared to their counterparts in the north. They were also more determined to exploit the people and strongly resented the central court's interference in their bloodsucking activities.

However, in the case of economic development, population would also increase, which led to an additional characteristic of the separatist forces in the south compared to the north - there were many of them.

As a result, the southern separatist forces of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty exhibited characteristics such as a large number, weak military strength, strong financial resources, and complex relationships.

For the central court of the Great Tang Xian Dynasty, these characteristics were advantageous, especially the weak military strength, which posed a lower threat to the central court. It was far less severe than the consequences of the northern fiefdoms turning against them and launching a southern invasion.

However, for the people, it was a disaster. No matter how good the geographical conditions were in the south and how high the people's income was, they couldn't withstand the onslaught of vampires flocking together.

The already boiling pot was further fueled by the people of the Taiping Dao, naturally causing it to boil over completely.

However, General Deng's march south with his army was an anomaly. The private army he commanded was an elite force that even the experts of the Langhun Heavenly Palace would find troublesome. After arriving in the south, they became one of the few strong forces in the southern region of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, posing a threat to the Huangtian Uprising led by the Taiping Dao.

This is also an important reason why Luo Dang and the others must eliminate General Deng.

"But even if General Deng dies, his private army won't die. Someone will still take his place."

Chu Shen was a little puzzled. Was it worth paying such a high price just to temporarily disrupt that dangerous strong force?

Luo Dang waved his hand. "That's not something we need to consider. Wise men have their reasons for arranging things this way."

Chu Shen:

Although it seemed normal, Luo Dang and the others had received many favors from the Taiping Dao. In reality, they could be considered staunch supporters. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for him to inquire about the other party's secrets.

However, based on this, he also concluded that the Taiping Dao's actions must have been planned for a long time. The southern region of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty was still in chaos. Although Linzhou was relatively peaceful, there was no telling how long this calm could be maintained. There were no attacks from the uprising army led by the Taiping Dao, nor were there any official troops from the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty stationed there, maintaining the daily rhythm. But how long this peace could last was truly uncertain.

Especially since Luo Dang and the others chose to stay here instead of leaving, it was likely that they had something else to do.

After much contemplation, he had already made up his mind to leave.

Deng Guogong is willing to assist in the matter because that guy has been chasing after him and is somewhat aligned with Luo Dang and others in terms of interests. Luo Dang and the others have even helped him out. If given the opportunity, he is willing to repay those who have unintentionally helped him.

However, if Luo Dang and the others have any more schemes to carry out, it would involve the Huangtian Rebellion led by the leader of the Taiping Sect. The cause and effect are too significant, and he cannot handle it.

More importantly, he holds the position of acting deputy palace master at Langhun Heavenly Palace. Regardless of the situation, it represents Langhun Heavenly Palace. Once he actively gets involved in this uprising, how would Langhun Heavenly Palace's stance be considered?

Although he supports this uprising and appreciates Luo Dang and the others' ideas and actions, he cannot neglect the innocent disciples and family members of Langhun Heavenly Palace.

Luo Dang actually noticed his unwillingness to get involved and also sensed his desire to leave. He didn't insist and instead had Ah Zao and the others prepare two jars of wine, a feast, and had a drink with him as a farewell.

How could Chu Shen not understand the other party's attitude?

With a sigh, he bid farewell to everyone the next day and headed north.

He chose not to go south because it was already chaotic there, and the Taiping Sect was in the southern Great Yan Xian Dynasty. Going in that direction would mean passing through the most chaotic war zone.

But going north is not completely safe either. The Tang Dynasty court will definitely continue to send troops south, and the journey will likely be chaotic.

He just wants to go home and hopes that there won't be any more complications along the way.
