It is said that as many as twenty or thirty monks have died in the interception and killing, and there are many cases where an entire caravan has been ambushed and looted, which makes many lone merchants and even large and small caravans who participated in the market panic in their hearts. 、ybdu、
After the news came, the county magistrate of Mengyu County, Cheng Zhenren of Huyao County, and Lang Guzhenren of Lingzhang County respectively ordered the border team to be under martial law, and patrol the surrounding areas centered on the market to ensure the safety of merchants and caravans participating in the mutual market.
"There are really people who stroke their tiger beards, this market is covered by three real people, intercepting and killing people who go to the market to buy and sell, isn't this blatantly slapping the faces of the three real people!"
"The cultivators of the real world are not immortals, they don't have three heads and six arms, how can they be taken care of, it is inevitable that some Xiaoxiao will take advantage of the loopholes, and besides, there are still us now!"
"Also, almost every village in Mengyu County, large and small, is carried out by caravans to participate in the mutual market, so we can be regarded as defending our hometown!"
The 20th Border Guard Squad quickly took action, but the actions of the 20 Squad did not make much fuss, but surprisingly unanimously chose to operate secretly.
Zhuang Guangyu once asked Liu Zhifei why he was so low-key, but Liu Zhifei laughed and scolded him as a fool, saying: "If you act with great fanfare, wouldn't you tell those bandits to hide quickly? If this is the case, where shall we go to suppress bandits?"
Zhuang Guangyu is used to playing treasures in the squad on weekdays, and he speaks much more bluntly, jokingly: "Brother Fei, I think it's better to scare these people away with great fanfare, not to mention killing these bandit cultivators without military exploits, how many people who can be bandit cultivators are cornered, they don't have much net worth, and they can't make much loot, and most of these people are desperate, and it's not worth it to injure one or two of our own family members when the time comes!"
If there is a life-and-death battle, just these few words will be cut off, but some bandit cultivators are really not taken to heart, and it doesn't hurt to make some jokes between words.
Liu Zhifei directly threw a peach he had just picked up in his hand at Zhuang Guangyu's brain, and when he saw him laughing and dodging, Liu Zhifei scolded: "You kid has itchy skin, just talk too much!"
Immediately, Liu Zhifei's face straightened, and everyone laughed when they saw this, only to hear him say solemnly: "Do you know why it is so secretive beforehand? Hehe, I just want those bandit cultivators to rob it, what about after they rob it, hehe, understand?"
After the bandit cultivator robbed it, it was natural that we would snatch it from the bandit cultivator again, and by the way, we were killing the bandit cultivator, so that the materials in the bandit cultivator's hand naturally fell into the hands of the border monk, and listening to Liu Zhifei's meaning, the border defense team obviously did not intend to return these cultivation materials to those who were robbed.
Those who can come to the market to participate in the mutual market, whether it is a lone merchant or a large and small caravan, and which one of them will return empty-handed, the bandit cultivator will not return empty-handed, then the border defense team that suppresses the bandits will naturally make a lot of money, and they don't have to worry about getting a bad reputation.
However, Yang Junshan always felt that something was wrong with this, so he tried to ask: "Is this an order given by County Magistrate Chen?"
Liu Zhifei glanced at Yang Junshan and said, "This is an order issued by the sect!"
After a pause, he added: "Uncle Chen is also an elder of the sect!"
Liu Zhifei didn't add this sentence later, but when he said this, it made Yang Junshan mutter: What does the supplementary sentence mean, does it mean that Chen Jizhenren, as the elder of the Shaking Heaven Sect, must obey the order of the Shaking Heaven Sect, or is Chen Jizhenren, as an elder, also one of the decision-makers who issued this order?
However, Yang Junshan chose to wisely not ask at this time, but the others in the team were still a little worried.
Liu Zhifei naturally could see the worry on their faces, but he still said: "Before the operation starts, everyone must not leak the news of this operation, otherwise don't blame Liu for not relying on his comrades!"
Everyone's faces were even more worried, but they heard him continue: "Of course, I am not an unsentimental person, if we really encounter the bandit cultivator who robbed and killed the caravan in your respective villages, we naturally can't die without helping, but after the attack, this caravan must also have something to say, and we can't let the brothers shoot in vain!"
When everyone heard this, their faces faded, and they all said: "That's what the team is saying!"
But everyone was still muttering in their hearts, if their own family encountered the caravan of this village, it would be fine, but what if other teams? If there were no monks from the village in that team, wouldn't they have to be robbed and killed by bandits in vain, and then taken down by the border monks in the name of suppressing bandits?
Especially like Yang Junshan or Zhuang Guangyu, there are some forces in the family, and the scale of participating in the mutual market is also extremely considerable, and they are even more worried, for fear of encountering robbers on the way back from the market, and like Xiong Xiyi and Ning Ran can calm down, and I don't know if it is because their families have already known the order and are prepared, or if they think about the power of their respective families, they are not afraid of the so-called robbers at all.
For now, the only way to get the news out is to pass it on as soon as possible, but Liu Zhifei had prepared before, and after the previous verbal warning, the next step was to grounding everyone and not allowing them to leave the stronghold for half a step, not only the third team, but all the twenty border defense teams.
But Yang Junshan was thinking more at this time, accumulating wealth, what Yang Junshan saw in his eyes at this time was still Shaking Heaven Sect constantly accumulating wealth, and even gradually approaching the limit of unscrupulous means.
Over the years, with the operation of Yang Tiangang and An Xia, Yang Junshan can often hear a lot of news outside Mengyu County, and even the situation of the entire Yuzhou cultivation world can understand a thing or two.
Therefore, in addition to the incidents he personally experienced such as the red rust rough, the raid of Wang Zhenren in Chenyu County, the extermination of the Sun family of Jinyu County Mayor, and the mutual market of Chen Zhenren in Mengyu County, Yang Junshan also knows that many large and small incidents have also occurred in the other three counties of Yu County, all of which are related to the wanton accumulation of wealth without exception.
But Shaking Heaven Sect did this, and even put on a posture of exhausting the water and fishing, why is that?
Yang Junshan, who had experienced the disaster of the destruction of the faction in his previous life, inevitably wondered if the Shaking Heaven Sect had sensed the approaching crisis, and all these methods were preparing for the coming crisis?
But in fact, the more Yang Junshan understood the situation of the entire Yuzhou cultivation world, the more he doubted the reason for the destruction of the Heaven Shaking Sect in his previous life.
Because even though the Shaking Heaven Sect has declined greatly compared to a thousand years ago, it is still the out-and-out first sect of Yuzhou, and it has almost no rivals in the entire Yuzhou cultivation world!
The disaster of the demon race? Alien invasion? The forces of various sects in Yuzhou are attacking in groups? These are all jokes!
In the previous life, on the eve of the Heaven-Shaking Sect and the destruction of the Sect, the demon race had just shown its clues, and the foreign races had only just been noticed by the cultivation world, and the Heaven-shaking Sect was destroyed. As for the joint crusade of the other sects in Yuzhou, unless these sects are ready to sacrifice their own courage, it is absolutely impossible to shake the status of the Shaking Heaven Sect.
In fact, the destruction of the Heaven Shaking Sect he experienced in his previous life, although there were sect forces under his jurisdiction who turned against each other, and there were also internal remnants of the masters who set up their own doors, but the entire high-level monks of the Heaven Shaking Sect were eliminated in a very short period of time.
And after the extremely rapid destruction of the Shaking Heaven Sect, the other sect forces of the Yuzhou cultivation realm had a period of rapid development and prosperity in a very short period of time, which was undoubtedly based on the plunder of the Shaking Heaven Sect.
And all this in Yang Junshan's view, there are two more doubts that are always difficult to solve: first, it is impossible for the high-level monks of other sects in the Yuzhou Cultivation Realm to unite to strangle the high-level monks of the Heaven-Shaking Sect in such a short period of time. Second, even if they were strangled, it would be impossible for the high-level monks of the other sects in Yuzhou to be unscathed, but in fact, after the collapse of the Shaking Heaven Sect, the forces of each sect did not use the resources of the Shaking Heaven Sect to restore their vitality, but instead ushered in a brief period of prosperity and expansion, which was even more strange!
Of course, there was also a point that Yang Junshan had noticed earlier, that is, the remnants of the Heaven-Shaking Sect had not been strangled by the forces of other sects, and although the two sides were hostile to each other, they had never killed each other.
After thinking about it, Yang Junshan became more and more sure that the thought that flashed in his mind earlier was that behind the destruction of the Heaven-Shaking Sect, there was really a stronger horizontal force outside of Yuzhou that intervened and beheaded the entire high-level cultivator of the Heaven-Shaking Sect?
For example, Yang Junshan had the honor of hearing of a Taoist realm monk in his previous life, but had never seen it!
Since the grounding, the thirty monks of the third, fifth, and seventh squads were not allowed to go out in the stronghold, and the three teams of the inner disciples of the Shaking Heaven Sect were sitting in charge, but the rest of the people could still move around the small courtyard of the stronghold at will.
Yang Junshan stood in the small courtyard and patted his forehead as if he was a little sleepy, and when everyone was not paying attention, a faint golden light pattern flashed and disappeared on his forehead, and then Yang Junshan yawned loudly against the wall, and then returned to the room to practice as if nothing had happened, in fact, he was sleeping.
In the woods a few miles away from the stronghold, behind a lush grass, a behemoth suddenly stood up, the patterns on its body seemed to be integrated with the surrounding scenery at first glance, but it could be seen closely, but it was enough to make everyone gasp, but it was a giant tiger with a white frontal mountain that was nearly a foot long!
Huh, two white breaths erupted from the mouth of the giant tiger, and three feet away in front of him, a faint figure suddenly appeared, but it was a little girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Oh, don't rush me, I already have the news!" The little girl shook a small note in her hand and smiled proudly.
