I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 462: The Army Approaches the Border (asking for monthly tickets)

Sang Que broke free from the restraints on her legs and finally left the pile of corpses. Although there was nothing around her, she was able to swim with the help of buoyancy as if she was in water.

Swimming all the way to the top, Sangque looked out along the light-transmitting gaps between the corpses. Outside was all water, and the sunlight penetrated the water, bringing this shimmering feeling.

Judging from the brightness of the light, Sang Que estimated that this place was not very far from the water surface. If she used all her strength to use the ghost domain teleportation, she could get out in one go.

The key point is that there are corpses everywhere here. Where is the real body of the water ghost, or is this huge monster made up of these corpses the real body of the water ghost?

Sang Que thought carefully for a moment and felt that the best choice for her now was to stay here and rely on absorbing the water ghost's ghost slaves to develop in a low-key manner, and by the way, weaken the water ghost's power.

When you find the water ghost, beat it if you can, and run away if you can't.

After all, even if she left now, she might not be able to find the earth ghost and other ghosts that met the conditions for devouring in a short time. The rag doll had been lost, and the plan to attract the dream ghost would not work.

It's my mom's side...

"The research institute told me not long ago that they have made a major breakthrough in the zombies of the Ghost Dynasty. If all this is really arranged by my mother's story, they must have a way to help my mother relieve her symptoms. I backed down this time, and I will make my mother suffer next time. Only if we make a concerted effort this time and succeed in advancing, can my mother be truly free."

After making up his mind, Sangque swam to where the red ghost was and rescued her from the pile of corpses first.

Close contact and awakening, without disturbing the corpses around, Sang Que ordered Chi Gui to maintain a low consumption state and follow behind her to help her pay attention to possible dangers around.

There were so many corpses that Sangque couldn't just grab one place to attack. It ran between the branches formed by the corpses, absorbing the power of the corpses and destroying the overall structure of this huge monster.

This will be a very long process.

……

After Qingming Festival, the weather gradually becomes warmer.

The army transferred from Jingzhou, led by the newly appointed Marquis Wu'an, was unstoppable and wiped out all the bandits gathered along the west side of the Qianyue Mountains.

That group of bandits thought they could grow into the second Guizhou Army, but unfortunately they did not have the support of the ghost troupe, nor could they find any ghost walkers. Faced with the regular army of the imperial court and a large number of ghost walkers from the Evil Suppression Bureau, they quickly collapsed and were defeated.

This battle made the bandits in the mountains see the gap between them and the imperial army, and they were frightened. In addition, Marquis Wu'an promised that those who surrendered would not be killed, and those who were performed as corvée would not be treated harshly. He would send someone to supervise them, and they could return to freedom after working for five years.

In just one month, all the people in the bandit camps west of the Qianyue Mountains came down the mountain and surrendered.

This day, in the backyard of Pu'an County Government Office.

Qiu Siming, the former captain of the evil department of Shengjing City, ran in quickly from outside and found his grandfather Qiu Wanjun.

"Grandfather, I found out!"

Qiu Wanjun was dozing off on a bench. When he heard Qiu Siming's voice, his eyes widened and a gleam of light flashed across his face.

"Say!"

Qiu Siming took a breath. "There are fewer bandits on the east side of Qianyue Mountain than on the west side. After all, there is a fertile plain at the foot of the mountain. As long as you grow crops diligently, you can pay the grain tax and don't have to go up the mountain to become a bandit. Those small bandit problems had already been suppressed by the garrisons of the counties before we came."

"There is still a group of bandits that are elusive and it is hard to tell where they are coming from. The point is that Pu'an County has sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, but they have always been defeated. Some even say that the group of bandits only has ten people."

"Ten people?" Qiu Wanjun looked incredulous.

He and Qiu Siming were demoted because Sang Que and his men sneaked into Shengjing City and lost Yin Tong's heart. They followed He Buning to assist Jinzhou in suppressing bandits and building the Great Wall.

If it fails, Qiu Wanjun will not be able to return to Shengjing City to retire, and even the entire Qiu family will be banished from Jingzhou and settle in Jinzhou. Although Jinzhou is one of the great granaries and has many aristocratic families, it is close to Qinzhou and is not as safe as Jingzhou.

It took two generations of hard work for his Qiu family to finally gain a foothold in Shengjing, and this family business cannot be destroyed in his hands.

After the army entered Jinzhou, Qiu Wanjun and He Buning split their troops into two groups. He Buning was responsible for the west side of Qianyue Mountains, and Qiu Wanjun was responsible for the east side of Qianyue Mountains.

He Buning has already received good news, and now he can't even find where the bandits are.

Qiu Wanjun knocked on the table and said, "Explain it to me clearly. How can ten people repeatedly repel the county's guards? Even if they are all sneak attacks, they will eventually run out of energy and be attacked by hundreds of people, right?"

There were not many ghost walkers in this world to begin with, and the ghost walkers in the wild have been basically dug out by the Evil Suppression Bureau.

The Evil Suppression Division has the assistance of the Impermanence Division. Although they are now able to artificially create ghost walkers, they are at most third-level ghost walkers. Facing an army of hundreds of people, problems are bound to occur within a quarter of an hour.

Qiu Wanjun didn't believe it. Could it be that all those people were level four or above ghost walkers?

Even if Sang Mulan, who controls the Yin Tong, has the ability to piece them together, it is impossible for her to produce a large number of four-level Yin Walking People.

Qiu Siming was also confused by this and could only report what he had learned truthfully.

"According to those who escaped, the group of people had very powerful firearms that could fire continuously, and normal people could not dodge them at all. In addition, there were experts among them who could kill people thousands of miles away. It was said that before we could see where the people were, they would bleed from their eyebrows and die instantly."

"That group of people are not stationed at the Shilongshan quarry all the time, but as long as the county government sends people to search the quarry, within half a day, the group of people will appear and repel all the officers and soldiers."

"Half a day?" Qiu Wanjun narrowed his eyes, "Bring me the map!"

Qiu Siming hurriedly went to look for it on the desk next to him. As soon as they arrived, the county lieutenant brought all the maps of the Xiyue Mountain area over.

The map was spread out on the long table, with paperweights holding down the sides.

Qiu Wanjun slid his finger across the map and landed on the location of the Shilongshan quarry. After thinking for a moment, his finger continued to slide and landed on one place.

"Where is this?"

Qiu Siming knew that Qiu Wanjun was old and had trouble seeing things clearly, so he moved closer to carefully examine the small words on the map.

"The west side of Shilong Mountain is full of dangerous peaks, and the terrain has a large difference in height, which is not suitable for hiding."

"What about here in the east?"

"Beyond this forest in the east is a tributary of the Jinzhou Xuanhe River. The area east of the tributary was originally called Jinfeng Mountain. Later, a dead zone formed by evil spirits appeared here. A Kun Daoist named Yaozhen reported it to the county government, and then built a Qingfeng Temple at the northern pass of Jinfeng Mountain, next to this rocky forest, to suppress this dead zone. Qingfeng Temple used to be quite popular and was well-known in the surrounding area."

Qiu Wanjun twirled his beard with his hands, thinking, "Before the death zone appeared in Jinfeng Mountain, were there any traces of bandits? And this Qingfeng Temple, is it still there now?"

"I heard that there were some in the past. Ever since the Death Zone appeared and Qingfeng Temple was built, that area has been extremely peaceful. There have been no more bandits robbing people on the road. Grandfather, what you mean is..."

Qiu Siming was startled, and suddenly realized that Qingfeng Temple was helping the bandits to cover up their whereabouts. Not all Taoists in this world are upright, and there are many Taoists who do evil things under the guise of Taoism.

Following this speculation, and looking at the location and marks on the map, the terrain of Jinfeng Mountain is not particularly steep. From the high point of Jinfeng Mountain, you can indeed overlook the situation of the Shilong Mountain quarry. If you walk quickly, half a day will be enough to cross the forest and get to Longshi Mountain.

"I'll take someone over to investigate."

"Take two good hands with you and select a thousand men to follow you. Be careful!"
