Lord of Time!

Chapter 201 Spirit Realm, Splendid Rivers and Mountains

"Eat slowly, don't grab everything, enough food, and broth."

Zhuo Yunfei shouted hoarsely, laughing and cursing from time to time and kicking someone's buttocks. The person who was kicked had a panicked expression on his face, his whole body's muscles were tense, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get food, so he held his buttocks He jumped up and said with a smile: "Captain Zhuo, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is. I heard that you followed His Highness Prince Ping to eat delicious food and spicy food in Xingqing Mansion. You have meat every time. I don't know how hard it is for me to wait."

He laughed and laughed and cried again.

"Brother, I'm pretty good in Linshan Mansion, but I was chased and killed by the barbarians. I ran all the way, fled east and west for three days without getting any water. I heard that Wenyuan Mansion and Wuyan Mansion, so... oh... ..."

"Brother Tie, it's all over. His Highness Prince Ping's place is different from other places. He treats the people more leniently. As long as everyone abides by the rules, life will be easy, and you don't have to worry about being oppressed."

Zhuo Yunfei waved his arm, and seeing a large number of ragged people looking at him, he immediately raised the wooden bowl and banged it loudly.

"I can't guarantee anything else, at least I can guarantee that if you are still alive today, we will not starve you if we have a bite to eat. We are still fighting, the soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous, and although there is not enough food, But it’s not bad for your three melons and two dates. No matter how bad it is, isn’t there wolf meat? The Hu people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were very good at raising wolves and horses, and they all kept them fat and strong. , when fleeing for our lives, it is enough to run faster without dragging our army back."

He raised his right arm and waved: "Eat wolves, yesterday they ate me, today I ate them, there are twenty or thirty thousand wolves, it depends on whether you can eat them or not?"

"Eat wolves."

"On weekdays His Royal Highness ordered, Zhuo Butou also said that everyone eats wolves, and killing barbarians is not capable of this. It is still possible to eat their two wolves."

All around, there was a sound of drumming, which immediately caused roars of laughter.

In the temporary camp, there was laughter everywhere immediately.

There were a large number of people who specially filled the hot wolf meat and didn't eat it for the time being. They just ran outside Chen Ping's tent, knelt down and worshiped, and then they took the bowl and swallowed it contentedly.

After eating a meal, they all felt like they were in a turmoil.

It seems that there is a sworn hatred with the meat in the bowl.

Those sorrows, bewilderment, and uncertainty about the future disappeared quietly within the time of a meal.

After a while, Zhuo Meng led dozens of scribes to dress up, and some common people with some elegance on their faces came to pay a visit.

These people are the last strength of character in the land of the three prefectures.

Other literati and officials either died or surrendered, and some of them may have followed Anzi under the command of King Jinghai to evacuate and went to the Jinghai Navy.

Zhuo Meng has practiced with Yuan Qiu for a long time. Although he is still not able to do a job well in government affairs at this time, there are probably not many mistakes or omissions.

His biggest feeling was that there were too few literati available in Xingqing Mansion, or people who could read and do things.

Afterwards, Chen Ping encouraged some top soldiers who could read a few words to serve as grassroots affairs managers. It is conceivable how big the talent gap is.

At this time, he found more than 40 scribes who were well-versed in poetry and books and had some practical experience in handling affairs. He immediately pulled them over to show Chen Ping a look.

"See His Highness King Ping, Xiaosheng was born in a poor family, and was funded by his uncle to study at Bailu Academy. He returned to his hometown three years ago to observe his filial piety. He planned to go to Beijing this spring to take the exam, but he did not guard against the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Hearing that the capital was in trouble, he delayed his trip. Thinking of it, the Southwest is also in a mess, and the world is full of wars..."

This scholar named Lin Yuncheng was full of snot and tears when he said it, and he explained his background clearly.

He escaped from the dog hole in the city, thanks to the fact that when he was young, he often went out of the city to fish in the river with the second dog next door, so he knew a relatively hidden secret passage to the mouth of the water.

He can escape from washing the city, but he cannot escape from hunting.

If Chen Ping hadn't led the army to fight Bei Zhou Hu Qi and saved his life, he would have died in the mouth of wolves long ago.

Most of the dozens of scholars in front of me have this kind of experience.

Or it was a coincidence that seeing Bei Zhou Hu Qi approaching, he hid ahead of time.

Or gather a few village braves, play hide-and-seek with Bei Zhou Hu Qi in the city alleys, kill one or two wolf knight soldiers from time to time, leave a few corpses behind, and live a hard life.

Seeing that they were about to be wiped out by all the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they finally waited for reinforcements in the desperate place.

Chen Ping's army entered the city and beheaded all the Hu people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The streets and alleys were full of shouts and evacuated, and they followed.

Zhuo Meng said with a smile: "In addition to Brother Lin and Brother Wang, there are some warriors who are waiting to join our Xingqing army. His Highness King Ping can choose the best ones. I have already seen the low-ranking staff. Everyone in that group is good. A man who can kill barbarians has the courage of blood."

His Highness Prince Ping took one mouthful of the other on the small table, speaking without smacking at all.

Chen Ping vaguely recalled the scene when a few cats and cats were hiding in Qilin Street in the Earth Temple.

How simple and innocent the little table was at that time, but his younger brother, Xiaostool, was particularly elf and cunning, and he was more suitable for this cruel society than his elder brother.

It's a pity that the little stool was unlucky and died early in the hands of the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

But the small table looks simple and honest, but it is a simple person with a simple blessing, a life of great fortune, and has survived.

This person is quite talented inside, after experience, he even learned the shrewdness of his younger brother Xiaosengzi, and became sophisticated and shrewd in dealing with others, he is simple on the outside and handsome on the inside, almost alone.

Let him be in charge of the internal politics of hundreds of thousands of people, and he managed it in an orderly manner. Not only did he solve the problem of eating and camping well, but he also had the energy to help Chen Ping recruit talents. I don't know how much he spent. No matter how many big wishes he made, anyway, these literati and warriors who came to serve their lives were all grateful and wished to sell their lives to "His Royal Highness Ping Wang".

With a small table to deal with government affairs, Zhuo Yunfei comforted the hearts of the people, the natural hostility and gloom of the fleeing people disappeared little by little, and gradually there was light in their eyes.

Yes, there are two kinds of refugees.

One is like a ghost in troubled times, and the other is the people of prosperous times.

As long as they can see the hope of living and be able to comfort themselves, what happened yesterday is like death yesterday.

Tomorrow will be better.

They grit their teeth and live.

Still living with gusto, gradually forgetting the pain.

This is the great significance of Chen Ping leading the army.

Because, all the refugees saw it. Unlike the army they saw in the past, this army sent from Xingqing Mansion really dared to kill Hu people and was able to kill Hu people.

If you don't believe it, walking along the road and seeing [-] to [-] wolf corpses, and the strange-looking corpses of Northern Zhou Hu people lying in a pool of blood can prove everything.

"Even if Hu people are evil spirits, they are normal evil spirits and can be killed."

"This is our army, it is to protect us... To survive, to kill and drive away these vicious enemies."

In everyone's heart, there has never been a moment when they believed in this army like they are now.

Some people even started to imagine that after they had driven away the barbarian army, they could reapply for an acre or two of land from the government, saying that a daughter-in-law doesn’t need to be very juicy, and someone with big hands and feet and a rough face is fine. , as long as there is no exploitation by the government and you can fill your stomach, this life is also very good.

There were soldiers who came from Xingqing Mansion. When they chatted, they basically understood what kind of life those people lived under Chen Ping's rule.

I heard that there is basically not enough food to eat, and you don't have to kneel and kowtow when you meet officials.

As long as there is no criminal offense, even if you enter the government office, you can hold your head high and talk with the officials on an equal footing.

Also, if you give birth to a child and reach the age of enlightenment, the government will arrange a place to teach some simple characters and arithmetic, and for older children, they will even arrange to learn a skill.

These are basically free.

The biggest advantage is not this. Compared with the previous period, the rent in the field has collected a lot less taxes. However, in disaster years and when the harvest is not good, the government will distribute relief food. If one person starves to death, Officials are held accountable.

"This... this... is this the life we ​​mudlegs can live?"

Hundreds of thousands of people, once passed on to ten to hundreds of people, were immediately stunned.

Almost no one wanted to go back to Wenyuan's Three Mansions, and they all wanted to head to Xingqing Mansion.

Fortunately, there are still people who clearly remember that the Northern Zhou barbarians have not been completely driven away, and they cannot be immersed in sweet dreams for the time being.

"Students don't understand one thing. If everyone is so lenient, if there is a natural disaster, and the grain is not harvested, how can His Highness King Ping ensure that there will be a lot of food and fodder to feed the poor people?"

Therefore, one cannot read too much.

If you read too much, you will have a lot of ideas, and if you look too far, you will not be easy to fool.

Lin Chen, Lin Yuncheng, the new staff member, raised questions at this time.

In today's world, if we don't talk about man-made disasters, we talk about natural disasters.

The northern land is either plagued by snow or drought, and there are locusts from time to time.

The south is not peaceful, there is continuous heavy rain at every turn, the river embankment is washed away, and the people are displaced.

Everywhere there are cases of being unable to survive and selling children and daughters.

It's not that those officials and rich families turn a blind eye, it's really riddled with holes, and they can't be saved.

There are also some people with ulterior motives who made a lot of money in troubled times, frantically annexed land, hoarded strange things, bought low and sold high, and deprived the poor people of their last sliver of life.

As for whether you will be worried, these mud legs will rise up?

Of course I'm not worried.

Whether it's a change of dynasty or a barbarian invasion, anyway, those who have a big family and business can find a way to live well after all. It's nothing more than exchanging the top for a piece of blue sky.

What can the rabble at the bottom achieve? It is nothing more than drowning in the trend of the times, being the pioneer of the king.

"People are not ruthless, and they can't stand firmly. Brother Lin, I just want to ask you one question. Even in the era of natural disasters, is there really so little food in this world? Why is it that after each dynasty changes, it will soon usher in a peaceful and prosperous age. Can't eat it up in ten years?"

Chen Ping asked with a smile: "Let's not talk about it, let's just say that the Dongmu Army and the Qisha Army broke three granaries and plundered places, and they are so rich.

It is said that their food can not only be eaten for ten years, but can also be burned for fun.During the battle with the two armies of Huwei and Longxiang, these armies have burned millions of stones just for the act of burning food.

But they never worry about food and grass. Tell me, in this period of natural disasters, is there really no food, or is it fake? "

"This……"

Lin Yuncheng was speechless.

He saw the suffering of people's livelihood, and felt that some things were taken for granted.

But it never occurred to me that some people piled up grain at home and could not finish eating it in ten lifetimes. They would rather rot than give mud legs more to eat. There is something wrong.

'Is there no food in this world?Is it really embarrassing enough to starve to death? '

'Of course not. '

It's nothing more than the unfairness of a wealthy family who stinks of wine and meat, and whose bones are frozen to death on the road.

Of course, this world has never been fair since ancient times.

Even Chen Ping didn't expect to make his rule into an absolutely fair place.

What he can guarantee is the simplest point, don't let people starve to death, give people a little hope.

It is very easy to deal with no food, just "borrow".

What if I can't borrow it?
Do you think these troops are practicing for fun?
……

"The way, I only follow my own way."

Chen Ping talked heart-to-heart with these dozens of scribes one by one, arranged some affairs, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing these people, he arranged for the little blue bird to fly back to Xingqing Mansion, and sent five fast horses to send letters back by five routes, and dispatched a large army from the rear to prepare to set up a large formation in the wilderness.

Yes, after the previous surprise battle with the Northern Zhou Hu people, he felt that the time was right.

There is no need to wait for the opponent to attack at the boundary of Xingqing Mansion, but you can put the battlefield in front and use offense as defense.

Of course, the most important reason is that Chen Ping has already started to find his own path.

He has enough confidence in forming his own domain and breaking through the realm of unity and great success.

"Xiaoyue'er, you are here to protect the Dharma. I have some insights, and I need to practice hard for a while."

The current Hualian'er is no longer the timid woman who used to scratch her face all day long to keep herself safe.

When it comes to combat power.

Even if all the generals around him are counted, including the real Qiuye and Changfeng, apart from Chen Ping himself, the little girl Ji Mingyue must be counted.

Her cultivation is very strange.

Chen Ping even thought that he might not be able to match this little girl simply because of his attainments in the sword art of Tianxin Mingyue Sword.

It seems that the special physique has a natural bonus to this sword technique.

Obviously the strength is not great, and the cultivation base is not strong enough, but when he makes a move, he can naturally see the weakness and defeat the strong with the weak.

Chen Ping even doubted that in the general Heyi realm, even a master of Heyi who had reached the third realm of Extreme Intent Huashen might not be able to take her down in a short time.

If you are not careful, you will be beaten by her for leapfrogging two realms.

Therefore, I feel relieved to let her protect the law by my side.

As for whether he wanted to explore the secrets of Ji Mingyue's body, it was completely unnecessary.

Even if this little girl is not practicing martial arts, but is cultivating immortals, it is her chance, everyone has their own secrets, no matter how close the relationship is, there is no need to reveal all the secrets.

Just like the silkworm baby in my mind, I never told anyone about it.

Measure his heart with his own heart.

Don't give to others what you don't want, that's all.

"Okay, Brother Seven, don't worry, I'll save it."

Just like those many days and nights before, Chen Ping meditated with his legs crossed, while Hualian would sit aside, quietly lowering his head, thinking about some things carefully.

However, this time, Chen Ping could feel that the situation was different from the past.

A ray of cool water-like energy spreads out in all directions, reaching a radius of more than fifty feet, with Ji Mingyue as the center, and any wind and grass will be reflected in the heart.

He seemed to have an illusion.

A bright moon hangs overhead.

The bottom of my heart is extremely quiet and peaceful, and even the thoughts in my mind are turning a little faster.

'Are you able to comprehend the prototype of the field by yourself without a teacher?The spirituality of the little old girl is simply amazing. If I practice more slowly, I might be overtaken by her in a curve. '

This thought flashed through my mind.

Chen Ping was amazed in his heart, his mind regained his vigor and spirituality, a ray of cyan light shone brightly on his body, and as wisps of gray and black mist were pulled away from the bone marrow and flesh one by one, the cracks on his muscles and bones disappeared little by little.

After more than half an hour, with the last sliver of mist, driven away by the Aoki Longevity Kungfu, it was finally cleared away.

The qi and blood roared again, and the muscles and bones made clanging and golden jade sounds for no reason.

Concentrate on gathering energy, blood rushes, and sword intent fills the body.

The body has recovered and is full of energy.

It is the best time to improve.

Thinking of the detailed regulations implemented in various prefectures and counties of Xingqing Prefecture these days, and thinking of the smiles on the faces of the people he saw earlier, Chen Ping felt a clear realization in his heart, and his thoughts moved slightly.

"promote."

1024 points of robbery, burning suddenly.

It turned into a strange and ruled power in the dark, and merged into the heart in a mighty way.

All of a sudden, what I thought, what I learned, and what I knew, all twisted into one, and began to sublimate and deduce.

There are some incomparably precious ideas about the real gang glass body and the various extension directions between the changes in operation.

"The sword and gang are not just a martial art, but a unique exploration of power."

"The Profound Handle of Qi and Blood, and the way to condense true Qi, are actually a kind of power composition, and the sword Qi attack, isn't it another manifestation of power?
All laws return to the same goal. The first thing I need to do is to integrate the blood, true energy, and sword intent into one, and turn them into the most essential force.

This power, regardless of attributes, regardless of its source, exists between the heaven and the earth, and is higher than the heaven and the earth.With a little bit of comprehension of the essence of power, understanding the rules and seeing the truth, this is the road of detachment. "

With the crazily burning of the robbery point.

Chen Ping seemed to have forgotten the time and the place again.

He only remembered that he had experienced the scorching cold and scorching heat, from winter to spring, I don't know how many years had passed, when he suddenly woke up, countless insights in his heart turned into pearls and connected together.

What I saw was no longer the original world, and the composition of power had also undergone tremendous changes.

"Where I stand, there should be flowers blooming."

boom……

The ground shook slightly.

In a radius of hundreds of feet, fine buds of vanilla emerge from the ground, and tiny flowers of orange, yellow, white, purple and pink bloom one by one...

Where the mind moves, the vitality of the heavens and the earth rushes in. Under the operation of an unknown force, everything grows toward the sun.

It turned out that on a piece of fragrant grass, flowers bloomed all over the ground.

"What a nice view."

Ji Mingyue withdrew her sword from the side, staring straight into the eyes.

Everyone around exclaimed in a low voice, and forcibly suppressed the shock in their hearts, not daring to disturb each other.

"Where I stand, everything dies."

The mind changed again, within a hundred feet, the wind was like a cut, the severe cold of ice and snow hit the face, flakes of snowflakes the size of goose feathers fluttered, and the ground was covered with icy edges.

Chen Ping was thoughtful, but suddenly smiled.

Read it again: "Where I stand, it will be prosperous in a prosperous age."

With a sound of sword.

The flowers disappear, the ice and snow melt, and the light and shadow change, showing the lights of thousands of families and the beautiful mountains and rivers.

Looking at the space of a hundred feet, it is like seeing countless people busy working, and seeing the bustling voices and laughter in the market.

I also saw the beautiful mountains and rivers around me, and the fields and fields...

When I went to take a closer look, all the light and shadow disappeared, only the grass was left, with blood stains and hoof marks remaining on the grass blades.

It seems that everything before is an illusion.

And where Chen Ping stood, a giant pillar of starlight the size of a bucket rumbled down, and he faintly heard the sound of roaring and agitating inside his body, and it took three incense sticks before it began to calm down.

"One hundred and eight orifices are opened, and with a sway of both arms, you can have a strength of more than [-] jin. The pure increase in strength and attack power is the meaning of the question.

The most important thing is that after the real glass body has reached the great achievement, it is clean and clear, the mind is extended, and the way is clearly understood. I have been able to generate the spiritual field.

Although it is still not as good as the spiritual cultivation of God-Master Duran's Unity Realm, the realm has become real.But I have a domain after all, and with the true meaning of this beautiful mountain and river to offset its meaning of life and death, prosperity and decline, in a short time, I can also fight for the domain force field. "

Thinking of the previous battle, when he was crushed by the opponent's domain and could only fight recklessly with his own energy and blood, Chen Ping's eyes flashed a cold light.

"This time, if you can't suppress my martial will, it will be your death."

Chen Ping silently estimated the gap between his own strength and the opponent's. With a firm mind, he turned his head and asked, "Xiaoyue, is there any reward for visiting the horse? Cui Huchen dispatched troops to come, is there any departure?"

"Testing the horse was not so fast, but Xiaoqing brought back the letter."

The little blue bird flies fast, and it is Chen Ping's spiritual pet that is always by his side. All the senior officials of Xingqing Mansion recognize it.

It didn't take long for it to come back and forth, and it brought back the news in half an hour.

Ji Mingyue handed over a letter, Chen Ping shook it away against the wind, glanced over it, and smiled.

"The cavalry go first, that's fine. With [-] cavalry forming the Seven-Star Big Dipper Formation, it won't lose to Yu Wenzhao's Ten Thousand Beasts Swallowing the Sky Formation. It is already worthy of a battle."

As for the infantry and food that arrived slowly later, they were not useless.

The battle with the Northern Zhou Dynasty is of great importance, and it is related to the battle for the fate of the country.

Chen Ping still didn't forget that beside his army, there were still 20 cavalrymen in the Jing Navy.

King Jinghai sometimes looks arrogant and sometimes cautious.

He didn't dare to take the lead of Northern Zhou Huqi, but he didn't necessarily dare to attack his troops by surprise.

People's hearts are so strange.

Can not help but guard against.
