Recently, a piece of news has been circulating among the rebels in Anchang County. It is said that there is a Shexi Village in Sanchazi Town, and there is a Shekou Mountain in the village. There are many magical herbs on Shekou Mountain, which can make people improve their cultivation. Improve their cultivation... There is a village at the foot of Shekou Mountain. There are few men in the village. There are several beautiful young girls and several beautiful and plump wives. There are more than a thousand acres of fertile land in the village. This year, several thousand stones of grain were harvested, and they were all eaten up. Such news spread among the rebels everywhere, and with everyone adding fuel to the fire, it spread more and more widely and became more and more magical. For a while, Shekou Mountain became a holy place that everyone yearned for. When chatting, everyone wanted to go to Shekou Mountain to rob money, food, and women. Not to mention that there are spiritual medicines on the mountain, which are extremely tempting for all warriors and immortal cultivators. Because of this rumor, there was a big battle every three to five days at the foot of Shekou Mountain. The bodies of those killed by them filled a large pond.
Even so, many people still came to die one after another. Fortunately, the work in the fields has been done now, and it does not affect farming. Ji Cang conducts special training for the team every day, and then analyzes the battles every three or five days. The combination of theory and actual combat has made the team's combat ability improve rapidly every day. In the first few battles, Er Gouzi watched the battle cautiously, worried that his men would suffer losses. After observing for a few times, he found that the team's combat ability was getting stronger and stronger, and he no longer needed to worry about dealing with these rebels. What's more, there were Ji Cang and Sima Yi watching him, so he simply shrank in the mountains and concentrated on refining and practicing. On the other hand, the Zhang Youliang brothers have recently seized the rare strategic opportunity to expand outward. Some rebel bandits were attracted by Shekou Mountain and were beaten to a pulp, which was a great loss. Then these forces will soon be annihilated and annexed by the Zhang Youliang brothers. Under the rapid expansion, Zhang Youliang already has tens of thousands of people under his command, occupying several towns and villages, becoming an important hegemon among the rebels. Er Gouzi also understands this. He has no intention of rebelling and claiming to be king. He is not interested in expanding his territory. It is better to refine in the mountains. Recently, his refining skills have improved a lot and become more and more mature. He must have a pill of medicine for each furnace. He takes and refines a pill of Peiyuan every two days, and his cultivation improves rapidly. However, after all his efforts, he still had a lot of ginseng, the main medicine, but he had used up all the auxiliary medicines for refining. These medicinal materials were stockpiled in the county before the turmoil. Now there is chaos and war, and the trade routes are cut off. He doesn't know where to buy them. Maybe he can only sneak into the county to take a look. After asking Sima Yi about the location of the tunnel, he rode on the goose and left. He flew all the way on the goose, and almost every place was fighting.
But the situation of every village and town with king's flags last year has disappeared, and most of the forces have recovered. The only thing that surprised him was Dingjiazhuang. There was chaos and war outside, but only this place was like a paradise, peaceful and calm, and everyone lived and worked in peace, as if it was not affected at all. For this, Er Gouzi had to admire the spirit of the Ding family owner. Er Gouzi rode a goose in the sky, of course he could fly directly in. But this was too ostentatious and would let many people know that he was coming. Far away from the county town, he got off the goose and walked quietly. There were 18 rebel kings at the beginning, but now there are only 10 king flags, but they still surrounded the county town. Fortunately, these people had poor organization and discipline. He disguised himself as a soldier and successfully mixed into these rebels, and then passed through them. There is a moat outside the county town. It was repaired during the New Year and there was no water in it. The river was full of all kinds of garbage. Er Gouzi took advantage of the night and walked in the stinking river. All kinds of garbage rotted into silt and covered his legs. He walked slowly along the river, his consciousness swept over the earthen wall on one side, looking for the exit. Finally, his eyes moved and he saw a stone slab with three lines carved on it. He turned it over. A dark hole was revealed below, and most of the hole was buried by mud. Er Gouzi held his breath and went in... When he came out of the hole in the city, his whole body was covered with stinking mud. He was so stinking that even beggars on the street looked down on him and covered their noses and avoided him. There was no choice but to find a well to change clothes and rinse with cold water. But there was still a faint smell on his body, so he left it alone. After changing his clothes, he first went to the black market. There are more secret doors in the alley at the entrance. Women, young or old, exchange their cheap bodies for a bite or two of precious food. The old man in the pharmacy is still there, half lying on the chair, half-squinting his eyes and looking at Er Gouzi. "Do you need an abortion or syphilis?" "Syphilis!" "What are the symptoms?" "Cauliflower-like..." Every time Er Gouzi enters the black market, he curses the person who set the secret code in his heart. After entering the black market, he found that it was no longer as lively as before, with only a few pedestrians.
He looked at the stalls along the street and found that there was nothing decent. The grain store in the black market was closed, and many shops were closed. Only the Hongfu Building, opened by the county magistrate, remained strong, with its doors wide open. Er Gouzi walked in and asked, fortunately he could still buy medicinal materials here, but the prices had all increased several times. And he had to use Pei Yuan Gu Ben Wan or other materials to trade, even the refining silver was taken away. It can be seen that the entire county is now in urgent need of various materials, lack of food and clothing, and cultivation resources are even more scarce. And the materials purchased with Pei Yuan Gu Ben Wan are also limited, because there really are not so many goods. Er Gouzi took out a bottle of Pei Yuan Gu Ben Wan, but only bought one medicinal material, which was only enough for him to refine more than a dozen furnaces of medicine. He was still giving up, and asked about spiritual medicine, but naturally there was none. After coming back from the black market, he looked around the streets in the city. Most of the shops in the city were closed, and there was no rice or bush. Only the shop where he used to frequent was still open, and the steamer was filled with big meat dumplings made of black grain. He saw a passerby buy two dumplings, the skin was very thin, the filling was very large, and it was full of meat. Er Gouzi was not satisfied after running all the way to the county town without any harvest. Just then, he realized that he had arrived at the door of a wealthy family. The guard at the door was yelling at a troublemaker. Er Gouzi looked up and saw that it was the old son of the Dianshi. I heard that the Dianshi fell off the goose last time and was half dead. His body has not recovered much, and I don’t know how he is now. As a former subordinate, Er Gouzi felt it was necessary to visit the Dianshi to see how he was. It's just that the guards at the door of the Dianshi's house are too fierce. He must go in with his miserable appearance. But in this world, as long as you are sincere, any difficulties can be overcome. Er Gouzi is such a sincere person. He walked to a corner where no one was, took out two yellow talismans, and pasted them on his body. His figure disappeared out of thin air, turning into a transparent man, and then swaggered to the door of the Dianshi's house. He came quietly and left quietly, taking only some personal belongings, without alarming anyone, which seemed polite and abrupt. When I walked into the door, I found that this dog's house was really big. Entering the first door, there are several houses on both sides. Except for the living room, all the people living here are servants. There were at least more than 100 servants living in the Dianshi's house, and they were all fat and strong, with ruddy complexions, and there was no sign of famine. Er Gouzi did not alert the enemy for the time being, and continued to walk inside and entered the second door.
It seemed much more spacious inside, with a very large yard, and fake mountains and water. Passing the third door forward, the Dianshi's wives and concubines lived here. My goodness, this old man actually kept dozens of wives and concubines, all of whom were white and tender. These beautiful ladies, coupled with the Dianshi's skinny, wrinkled face and thick hair, were quite interesting. Er Gouzi saw the Dianshi in a room, and he did not alert the enemy for the time being, but tried to find out the truth first. He had already found out that the Dianshi's warehouse was at the back, so he went to the warehouse first to take a look. After passing a long corridor, I saw more than a dozen large warehouses. My spiritual sense scanned the inside through the wall, and most of them were granaries for storing food. There were rice, corn, soybeans, and sesame. The total amount of food in these warehouses must be at least tens of thousands of stones. Seeing so much food in the warehouse, Er Gouzi could only secretly rejoice in his heart that his gourd could hold a lot of food...
