Chapter 59 The End of the Dynasty
"This county has been occupied, it's a bit troublesome."
Gu Luosheng looked uncertain.
Although he was cautious, he didn't want to take any risks, he just didn't want to commit suicide casually.
He rashly broke into a heavily guarded county town and didn't get discovered.
Once discovered, they will inevitably break out of the siege and carry a wanted warrant.
With his strength, this kind of operation may not be dangerous, but to be honest, it's not worth it.
He didn't know what information there was in this county, so there was no need to enter.
Let’s wait until he understands the blood of the Xiaoyue Spirit Wolf before we talk!
What he is still worried about now is the blood of the Howling Moon Spirit Wolf and where he should go next.
If these two problems can be solved, death is not a bad idea.
"Of course, the most important thing is that three hundred years have passed. Due to natural evolution, the language must have changed. I may not be able to understand it. I'd better find out the situation around me!"
Gu Luosheng bypassed the county seat and continued to move along the wheels and roads.
Even if the two countries go to war, it is impossible for all cities to be under martial law. There must be some cities that can be freely entered and exited.
…
On a mountain road, a group of more than a dozen people were walking numbly.
Most of them were in ragged clothes and looked tired, but they fled south because of the war.
Among them, a black-haired young man with disheveled hair and clothes blended in perfectly. He was Gu Luosheng.
He wandered along various roads for about half a month and met many people who were fleeing.
He secretly observed for several days and found that these people really did not understand his language and there were many things he did not understand.
He thought for a while and simply hid in it to study.
With the blessing of divine consciousness, even if he didn't understand it, he could still tell the general meaning through his expression. As time passed, he gradually understood the various changed pronunciations.
Through the conversations between these refugees, he finally knew the general situation.
It turns out that they are still from the Feng Kingdom, but they are different from three hundred years ago. Today, the Feng Kingdom is approaching the end of its dynasty, with constant natural disasters, serious exploitation, corrupt officials, and the emperor's extravagant debauchery. It can be said that all the elements of destruction have been gathered together.
The most terrifying thing is that there is also an invasion by enemy countries.
If it is a peasant uprising, relying on the army of warriors trained by the dynasty, it will be easy to suppress it. If it is a rebellion of aristocratic families, it can probably be delayed for a while and a few protracted battles can be fought.
But facing an enemy country in its heyday, the corrupt Feng Kingdom was completely defeated.
Twenty-four cities were quickly captured, and half of the country was lost.
If the enemy country had not been very cautious and stopped to digest the results of the battle, the Feng Kingdom would have been destroyed at this time.
It is precisely for this reason that major aristocratic families seem to have begun to recruit people with lofty ideals from all over the world. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to become cannon fodder and avoid the fate of starving to death.
This group of refugees also heard the rumors and decided to go all the way south to make a living.
It is better to die in battle than to die of starvation. Those who have experienced starvation will never want to experience it a second time.
Gu Luosheng just followed the fleeing team all the way south.
Even though he already knew the destination, he didn't leave immediately. He was thinking about why resentment didn't seem to work here.
Large-scale wars and large-scale deaths should theoretically trigger ghosts that are more terrifying than the village.
But along the way, he found a lot of resentful spirits, but their intensity was completely inconsistent. Evil spirits were extremely rare.
This situation really puzzled him. In order for resentment to work, it must be in a place with spiritual energy?
Or does it have to be an area where immortal cultivators exist for resentment to have the greatest effect?
While thinking, the team unknowingly walked out of the mountains and entered the plains.
Many people are already showing excitement!
They are almost at their destination!
"Changping is ahead! The prestigious Gusu family is gathering all the righteous men from all over the world to fight against Feiyan!"
"It is said that no one will be rejected, and those with martial arts qualifications will be trained without hesitation, just to protect Changping!"
There was a lot of light in the eyes of the refugees.
There are five major aristocratic families in the world. The Feng Kingdom can not know the emperor, but it cannot ignore the five major aristocratic families.
Not only are the five major families powerful, they are also extremely famous, and they have produced many important figures that are well-known to everyone.
There are heroes, generals, and literary giants, but they are far from being as influential as the emperors before.
Gu Luosheng was a little concerned about the so-called heroes, because according to the escapees, he was a figure who could overwhelm mountains and seas with one strike of his palm. Is he a warrior or a monk?
No matter what, he had to investigate Changping Gusu's strength before taking action. Hearsay was too unreliable.
"Hahaha, the prey is here again! Drive! Drive! Drive!"
"kill!"
Just when many refugees saw hope, a group of five cavalrymen suddenly burst out laughing. They were armed with scimitars, spears, and several good bows on their backs, and charged towards the refugees.
"Feiyan Cavalry! Run away!"
"ah!"
The faces of all the refugees changed drastically and they turned around and ran away, but some of them fell to the ground in despair.
How can a man outrun a horse? They are dead!
"Specially here to kill the refugees?"
Gu Luosheng frowned, and five wooden thorns appeared in his hand. Infused with spiritual power, they spread out gently, like a goddess scattering flowers.
The cavalrymen who were running towards them with wild laughter didn't see anything at all. They felt their hearts hurt. They all screamed and fell from their horses, immediately losing their life.
Many of the refugees were stunned, not knowing what was happening. After someone shouted, "God appears," everyone present bowed their heads in fear.
Gu Luosheng took this opportunity to leave quietly.
Changping has arrived. He has escorted here and has done his best. It is time to leave.
…
The wall of Changping is fifteen meters high and is also heavily guarded, but there is a gate that can be passed through.
A large number of refugees gathered at the gate. Some were led into the city, while others camped directly outside the city and joined the army for training.
Gu Luosheng watched all this from a distance of several kilometers away, thinking.
He didn't want to attract attention. It would be best if there was no trouble at all and he could act completely in secret.
This kind of situation that requires careful review before entering the city or joining the army is obviously not suitable for him.
"If I had an earth spirit root, it would be convenient to act..."
Gu Luosheng frowned.
Although the wood spirit root also has many abilities, it cannot be invisible, let alone drill into the city.
This Changping City has to resist the Feiyan cavalry. Although a gate is opened, the guards are extremely strict. There is no gap at all. Even in the dark, it is extremely difficult for him to sneak in.
The only thing that could be manipulated was that most of the soldiers guarding the city were ordinary people with almost no cultivation. If he burst out at the fastest speed, he might be able to deceive their eyes.
However, although the speed of 100 meters per second was extremely fast, it was not to the point where it was completely invisible.
Especially since he still needed to break through to the vicinity of the city wall, when the distance was extended, 100 meters per second was far from enough. Even if the person was relatively small, it would take about the speed of sound to disappear from the eyes of ordinary people.
Moreover, this was an extraordinary world, and everyone had to cultivate internal strength, so the requirements were even higher.
Gu Luosheng thought of this and shook his head slightly. He didn't expect that he really couldn't enter the city without brute force.
Thinking of this, he turned and left.
