Chapter 955: Rampant Banditry

Hule Gaoen went to open the tribal secret treasury, and it is unknown how long it will take for him to return. Little Wei Yuan naturally wouldn't wait, and the fortress construction task had already been scheduled for next year, so he had nothing to do. Little Wei Yuan had nothing to do, so he took the 100 young Dao-foundation cultivators from the Xu family he had specifically brought over, set off eastward, and explored the road to the Ji Kingdom.

There were also several special people in the team, a scholar and a dozen people dressed as attendants. The scholar had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face of fortitude and righteousness, named Liu Yanzhi. That day, it was he who sent the "Anti-Bandit Manifesto" for the Jieyang County Magistrate, and he only brought a dozen guards and soldiers.

The outcome was predictable; Little Wei Yuan captured them all on the spot.

Among the attendants, there were quite a few old soldiers and rascals who didn't take Little Wei Yuan seriously at all, stiffening their necks and seeking death, betting that Little Wei Yuan wouldn't dare to kill them.

Little Wei Yuan followed their wishes, beheaded a few on the spot, and the rest stopped jumping around.

Then Little Wei Yuan starved them for seven days, each of them so hungry that their eyes glowed green at night, yet there was a large basin of delicious food outside the prison door, and the aroma made their hunger double. Seven days later, even the most stubborn ones had their arrogance completely extinguished.

Then Little Wei Yuan returned to the Azure Void, and this side was watched by a few jailers.

Those who could follow Little Wei Yuan to the mountain people's land in the first batch were naturally not fuel-efficient lamps. These jailers were influenced by what they saw and heard, and they also had means. They only threw a few steamed buns in every day, and each person could only get two bites on average. As a result, the group with green eyes directly fought for a bite to eat, and no one gave the scholar face, pushing him to the corner every time, and he couldn't get a single bite. Although the scholar was a Dao-foundation, for the sake of face, he refused to compete with the servants for food, so he just starved like that.

Three days later, the people in the prison had already formed deep hatred, guarding against each other, and wouldn't even lie together when sleeping. These jailers used a few steamed buns to break their unity.

By the time the fortress was ready, Little Wei Yuan was preparing to go to the Ji Kingdom, and only then did he remember that there was such a group of people, and fortunately, they hadn't starved to death. So Little Wei Yuan talked to the starving scholar for half an hour. The scholar refused to yield even in death, saying he wouldn't lead the way, only asking for a quick death.

Little Wei Yuan was helpless, but he didn't care much. After all, the nine surviving attendants had already provided eleven routes to the Ji Kingdom.

But Zhang Sheng heard about this, chatted with the scholar for a few words, and the scholar knelt down and swore allegiance to the death.

Little Wei Yuan was very puzzled and secretly asked the scholar what Zhang Sheng had said to him, but the scholar looked down on Little Wei Yuan from the bottom of his heart and wouldn't say it even if he died. Little Wei Yuan couldn't ask Zhang Sheng, so he could only take him on the road.

This time Little Wei Yuan only brought 100 light soldiers. Every time they walked a distance, ten or so people would fly in all directions to explore the terrain, record the landscape, and generally explore 100 miles ahead before returning to the main force.

Little Wei Yuan had long determined his position according to the Primeval Palace map. But the Primeval Palace map was very vague in this area; the immortals' main attack direction was the Liao tribe in the north and the Shaman tribe in the south. This trip had plenty of time, so Little Wei Yuan took precautions and planned to perfect the surrounding map first, which was the key to winning the battle in the future.

According to the route chosen by Little Wei Yuan, this time entering the Ji Kingdom should be south of Jieyang, in the Xiangshui County on the upper reaches of the Si River. The reason for choosing this place was because he learned from the scholar that Xiangshui County was the area where the rebel army was active, and further on was Feng Yuan County.

Little Wei Yuan intended to contact the rebel army first, see their quality, and then decide on the military strategy. Finally, he hoped to fight a battle with a small rebel unit.

As for the nearest Jieyang County, Little Wei Yuan decided to put it aside first. This Jieyang County Magistrate acted somewhat mysteriously, knowing the existence of himself and others from thousands of miles away for no reason. According to the scholar Liu Yanzhi, the county magistrate ordered him to travel thousands of miles to send the anti-bandit manifesto to this place, and as for the reason, he didn't say a word.

Liu Yanzhi's father was a small official who was convicted and imprisoned, waiting to be beheaded after autumn. The county magistrate said that as long as Liu Yanzhi delivered the manifesto, his father's crime could be exempted. So the scholar came with a heart of certain death and didn't plan to go back alive. And as far as he knew, there were several similar teams sent to different places.

After hearing this, Little Wei Yuan faintly felt that something was strange, so he decided to control movement with stillness and ignore the Jieyang County Magistrate first. When he couldn't hold his breath, he would naturally reveal his trump card.

The journey was uneventful.

Ten days later, Little Wei Yuan stood in front of an old and mottled stone tablet, looking at the four large characters "Boundary of Ji Kingdom" written on it, and there was a signature below: Inscribed by Marquis Xuanwei.

Crossing this stone tablet, he entered the territory of the Ji Kingdom. It was just that the stone tablet was not only dilapidated, but there were also many traces of animal urination around it, obviously the border defense was lax, and they didn't even patrol the important boundary markers.

Little Wei Yuan looked for a while and said, "Let's go." Then he walked into the territory of the Ji Kingdom first.

Entering the Ji Kingdom, there was a county town a few dozen miles away. But the city gate was wide open, the city wall was collapsing everywhere, and the city tower had been burned to ashes by a fire. Countless crows circled over the city, and there was no trace of any living person moving.

Little Wei Yuan flew into the county town first, and saw that the entire city had been burned to ruins, with scorched corpses everywhere, most of which had traces of swords and swords. In front of the county government office gate, dozens of corpses were piled up, with a large flag inserted on them, painted with a tiger head, and the large character "Xu". The arms and legs of all the corpses were missing, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Little Wei Yuan turned around in the city, his face already gloomy like water.

There were more than 30,000 corpses in the city, and not a single living person. Even those hiding in cellars and woodpiles were caught and killed. This was clearly searched by a powerful cultivator with spiritual sense, so they could kill so cleanly.
