For ten days, Jiang Yi walked the path of "ascetic", using all the resources on his body to raise his cultivation to the maximum before arriving at the Li Zhou.
The location of the Li Zhou was currently extremely chaotic and was filled with danger. If one did not have the power to protect themselves, going there would only be seeking death.
He had to be prepared.
From Ping Zhou to Li Zhou, there was only one path that could be taken. Jiang Yi trained bitterly, and just so happened to be able to get lost from Zhou Qingsha's group.
Moreover, the land was fertile, the resources abundant, the climate pleasant. The interweaving rivers, unlike the Ping Zhou which was barren and filled with evil water, the land was fertile.
For a country, its population was its foundation. If it was established in a place with a harsh environment, without population, it would be impossible for it to grow.
According to logic, Li Zhou could be divided into many large prefectures, but since the Great Li Kingdom had just been extinguished, the situation was unstable. In order to pacify the people and prevent riots, no prefectures were conducted.
The bigger the state, the more difficult it was to manage. There were many places that one couldn't reach and couldn't take into account, which resulted in the current chaotic state of Li Zhou.
Of course, this was only one of the reasons, not the only reason.
The Li Zhou was chaotic and complicated, and was caused by many different factors. At the same time, it was also an inevitable result after the Central Dynasty had been destroyed.
There were many foreign races from Wizard Barbarian eyeing them covetously, and some of them had evil religious disciples who had wreaked havoc on the hearts of the people. As a result, in the ten years that the Emperor Qing Tian had ascended to the throne, they had mustered their forces and plowed through the groves, pointing their swords at the world.
Right now, Central Dynasty was following the policy of "To be safe outside one's home". First, it would eliminate the sect, stabilize the entire area, and then, it would come back to drive out the foreign races and conquer the wilderness.
When Jiang Yi stepped into the Li Zhou, a sense of closeness naturally arose.
The Li Zhou, the Great Li Kingdom, this was his home, the place where the Dream Soul resided. In these ten years of the Dream Soul Sect, he was constantly reminiscing about his homeland. After who knows how many nights, he finally returned home and returned to his mother's warm embrace.
Sobbing mournful song, looking far ahead should be returned;
He went up to the pavilion alone, ten times in the spring and autumn.
No one wants to return home.
There was no ship to cross the river, so he looked back.
Moon like a hook, bed pillow, a dream to solve a thousand worries.
When Jiang Yi arrived at the Dream Soul Sect, he was only five years old. With the death of both father and mother, and him living elsewhere, such a blow would cause anyone to collapse.
However, he survived for a full ten years. And now, he had finally returned.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath of air and continued walking forward.
Gradually, the field of vision opened up, revealing numerous wide official roads. They were flat and straight, enough for ten carriages to ride on at the same time.
After Central Dynasty ruled over the Li Zhou, the construction of many cities and buildings took place. There were wide official roads, canals were opened and a series of policies were implemented.
At this moment, there were a lot of caravans coming from all directions to deliver the materials.
The Li Zhou was a mess, but there were business opportunities everywhere. Many businesses wanted to make a fortune here, one that could definitely make people rich and make huge profits.
However, there were also many risks. If one's luck was bad and the goods were stolen along the way, it would mean that one's wealth would be wasted and their entire family would be ruined.
Therefore, normal trading companies did not have the guts to come to the Li Zhou. Only those powerful, influential, and influential families who had established their own trading companies, with background, power, and escorts from experts would dare to come to the Li Zhou to make a fortune.
Jiang Yi saw that among these caravans, there were many troops escorting many horse carriages. On the horse carriages, there were strong bows, sharp blades, arrows, armors, food, medicine …
These were military supplies, delivered from other regions.
War was a huge drain on one's strength. Manpower, material resources, financial resources … all of it was indispensable.
Siuu...
At this moment, the sound of horses could be heard coming from the front of the public road. The scene had turned chaotic.
"Enemy attack!"
Then, a loud roar could be heard.
Jiang Yi looked over to where the voice came from, and immediately saw countless figures rushing out from the dense bushes on both sides of the road, all of them wielding sharp weapons, killing anyone who saw it.
These people did not seem to be bandits, but rather commoners of Li Zhou. A total of several hundred people had gathered together, and were not to be underestimated.
"Has the situation of the Li Zhou reached this stage? "Even ordinary civilians dare to obstruct the path and kill the imperial army in broad daylight, snatching away their goods?"
Jiang Yi frowned, he did not dare believe it.
Although the people of Li Zhou were valiant and liked to fight, they could not be so vile that they could directly go against the imperial government.
"Something's not right!" Suddenly, Jiang Yi's eyes focused!
"How dare you cause trouble for the people! How dare you intercept the military merchants of the imperial government. You deserve to die a thousand times for your crimes. Release the arrows for me and I will kill you without question!" One of the young generals roared in rage.
Sou sou sou …
Next, a string of arrows came whistling through the air. Puff, puff, puff. The sharp arrows pierced the flesh, and the figures of people fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
"Believing in the Lord, fearless in life and death, invulnerable to swords and spears!"
Suddenly, a commoner howled, shouting out a strange slogan. Following which, an evil aura burst out from his body!
Clang!
When the arrow hit him, there was a metallic clanging sound. It did not manage to penetrate through and fell to the ground.
Unbelievable!
"Believing in the Lord, fearless in life and death, invulnerable to swords and spears!"
Following that, more and more people began to shout out these slogans, and then they truly gained the ability to "invulnerable to weapons and spears". They were not afraid of being shot or shot by crossbows, and they began to charge ferociously.
In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed as one soldier after another was killed and suffered heavy losses.
"This is …" When Jiang Yi saw this scene, he was also shocked. This was too strange, shouting out a slogan would allow one to obtain godly strength, raise it by ten times, and allow them to be invulnerable to swords and spears?
It was impossible for such a thing to happen.
"Watch out!" These people are the followers of the Evil Sect, they have already given their souls to the Evil Spirit, and obtained the support of the Evil Spirit, they are not truly invulnerable, kill! "
The young officer was also shocked. With a mad roar, he leapt off the horse's back. With a wave of his broadsword, he chopped a disciple from a cult into two halves. Blood spurted out of his wounds.
These followers of the evil sects were originally just commoners, but they were bewitched and forced to join the evil sects. Their martial arts were not that high, even with the support of the evil powers, they were still not a match for the young high-ranking officers.
This young officer was an expert of the Martial Dao Grandmaster, he had extraordinary skills.
Not only him, but many of the generals were from Martial Dao Grandmaster and had tyrannical strength.
Even among the caravans, there were experts from the Martial Dao Grandmaster standing guard. Now that they had been intercepted and killed by the followers of the Evil Sect, they would definitely not just stand by and do nothing.
